Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 314 A Petty Life_1
Chapter 314: Chapter 314 A Petty Life_1
Some say that the biggest difference between humans and animals lies in the fact that humans have thoughts.
Xiao Ming didn’t think so.
Current technology still couldn’t allow one to see the consciousness in the brains of other creatures besides oneself, and although animals lacked intellectual spirit, to say that they had no thoughts at all was too absolute—it was merely a matter of more or less.
The biggest difference between humans and animals was that humans understood self-restraint and knew that life couldn’t be disordered.
Absolute freedom was an absolute disaster.
Only those who knew how to shackle their hearts had the right to be human.
Therefore, Xiao Ming was proud of the bandages wrapped around his head.
He had held firm and not touched the doll programmed for absolute obedience, even after being drugged—an obvious testament to his moral integrity and the most straightforward portrayal of his love for his wife.
As for almost executing Furukawa Shizuka on the spot and the subsequent teasing of Ding Jianwei, he shamelessly chose to ignore those incidents deliberately.
Such pride lasted until Ding Jianwei arrived.
His senior sister officer nailed him to the pillar of shame with just one sentence.
"You suppressed your reason, stirred the deepest desires hidden in your heart, and instead of killing or setting fires, or robbing a bank, all you could think of was climbing on top of women.
Xiao Ming, you really are something!"
In response, Xiao Ming could only offer a bitter smile.
Was he really so unimpressive?
Of course not.
It was primarily because in his last life he had already climbed the world’s pyramid, and although he hadn’t reached the very tip, he had nevertheless looked down on all creatures.
After reaching the summit, all other mountains must look small, so what else could qualify as his desire, aside from the tip of the pyramid?
It was just various beautiful women of different shapes and sizes that remained.
After all, this was the desire he had decided to suppress for life after seeing his wife again. Once he lost control, it was bound to surface immediately.
But he couldn’t talk about these things, so he could only pinch his nose and accept being labeled a "lecher," with no other choice.
"Last night’s arrest of Lu Zhengping, that didn’t cause any problems, right?" he asked, looking for a way to change the subject.
"Not only were there no problems, but we also discovered something very interesting."
While speaking, Ding Jianwei still looked at him with the eyes one uses to look at a "lecher."
This made him very curious; he didn’t understand what catching a spy had to do with his lecherousness.
"Last night, when we left Furukawa Shizuka’s residence, the comrades in the operation had already arrived at Lu Zhengping’s doorstep, so I didn’t have anyone restrict Furukawa Shizuka’s freedom.
After all, our goal was to turn her, and capturing her would serve no purpose."
After taking a sip of tea, Ding Jianwei continued, "But who would have thought, that Lu Zhengping wasn’t a lone mouse. To be precise, he was the handler for several other mice.
When we obtained this information during the interrogation, I regretted it so much. I thought those mice must have already fled under Furukawa Shizuka’s warning,
and even though we had all their information, catching fugitives is always a bit of a hassle.
But guess what? When our people arrived, all those mice were at home sleeping, completely unaware of what had happened."
Xiao Ming was also extremely surprised, "Could it be that Furukawa Shizuka didn’t know of their existence?"
"The possibility isn’t nonexistent, but it’s very low."
Ding Jianwei said, "Even though Furukawa Tairou was just a target set up by the ’Rat King’ to attract attention, in order to play the part convincingly, he needed to be somewhat informed."
If I were the Rat King hidden in the shadows, I would certainly entrust most of the secrets that didn’t pertain to national security to him. Even if he were caught and the losses were severe, it would be better than having the true spy network completely uprooted.
And in terms of spy quality, Furukawa Jianyi isn’t even worthy to carry Xiangxiang’s shoes for her.
Therefore, I believe that Furukawa Shizuka is Furukawa Tairou’s assistant and naturally should know most of the secrets."
"Then why didn’t she inform Little Mouse in time?"
Ding Jianwei looked at Xiao Ming without speaking, his disdain growing even more intense in his eyes.
Xiao Ming gave a bitter smile, "You don’t really think that after I played the scoundrel last night, I won her heart and she willingly switched sides, do you?
Aside from how ludicrous that is, even if Furukawa Shizuka really fell for me, with her personality, she most certainly wouldn’t choose betrayal because of it."
Ding Jianwei shook his head, "She might not have fallen for you yet, but her heart is definitely in turmoil.
You know, a spy thrust into the limelight to attract attention surely won’t have poor psychological endurance. If she still retained any of the calmness a spy should have, she would have informed Lu Zhengping.
Even if Lu Zhengping had been discarded, a single phone call could confuse the opponent.
Don’t forget what I said before, Furukawa Shizuka has had the seeds of fear planted by you. Your actions last night were shameless but just happened to be the most primal way for a man to conquer a woman.
Especially her last words, ’I will kill you one day,’ are the most typical sign of someone about to submit.
After all, ’one day’ isn’t today or tomorrow, she’s already preparing mentally to bow to you before she kills you."
"Then you shouldn’t have stopped me last night. I might have completely conquered her by now."
After Xiao Ming blurted that out, he received a kick on his leg that really hurt.
"Did you think I didn’t know what kind of incorrigible you are?"
Ding Jianwei said through gritted teeth, full of resentment, "Nothing happened, and you could still harden your heart to see her as a tool to use.
If you really had slept with her, you scoundrel, you’d definitely find a way to hide her away.
All day long you claim to be a good husband who loves his wife, yet you have enough beauties around you to fill two tables for mahjong. You’re even worse than Zhuang Wending, who at least collects beauties for enjoyment.
What about you? Just looking, planning to arrange them as beauty screens at home later?"
"Hey, hey, hey, my dear superior sister, aren’t those words a bit shameless?"
Xiao Ming glared at her, "How all these beauties came to be around me, don’t you know? Is there even one because I coveted her beauty?
I’ve finally tried to turn over a new leaf and be a good guy, and you, as the embodiment of justice, keep plotting to shove me back among the beasts. What’s that about?"
"What’s that to you?"
Ding Jianwei slapped the table heavily, "Anyway, you’re leaving tomorrow, and today is your last chance to bamboozle Furukawa Shizuka.
Before coming here, I received a message that last night’s failure made Furukawa Tairou very angry, and he beat her severely with a bamboo sword. Right now, she’s at home alone licking her wounds."
She got up and left after finishing her words. At the door, she turned back, her voice ominously cold, "Seeing how alert you are, the effects of the drug must have worn off. If you dare to misbehave again, I will completely rid you of your lecherous thoughts once and for all!"
The door slammed shut with a thunderous sound, Xiao Ming touched the stubble on his chin and smiled wryly.
In his past life, he had his share of experiences among the fairer sex. How could he not see that Ding Jianwei was infuriated with embarrassment? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The words she said before sounded like she was scolding him, but they were more of a temptation.
Although Ding Jianwei might not want him to become a beast, she also didn’t want to see him bash his head in maintaining his "virtue."
Some habits die hard!
There are far too many temptations in this world that can cause people to lose self-control; there is no need to specially concoct a drug for that.
