I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

Chapter 1340: The Drugged Black Tea

In the lobby of the hotel, Kwai’s right hand gripped her left arm tightly, and her eyes were filled with grievances and unwillingness as she stared at the elevator door.

Just now, she was scolded by her boss on the phone.

The cause was that she reported to her boss that Jiang Chen’s “inappropriate behavior” caused her to be uncomfortable and proposed that a male police officer take over her job.

However, she did not expect that such a reasonable request was not only ruthlessly rejected, but she was also scolded for it.

“How could Jiang Chen do that kind of thing! It must be your attitude! Besides, he is the president of Celestial Trade and Future Group, the world’s richest man, and a distinguished guest of Nippon! Why are you dissatisfied and unpleased? I don’t know how many people envy your job! If it weren’t for the Cabinet Minister, how could you take on this job?”

“I order you to immediately correct your attitude and return to your post. This is not only my order but also the order of the Foreign Secretary! You can weigh it yourself.”

Kwai couldn’t believe what she just heard, she stared dumbfoundedly at the phone that already disconnected.

How could that meticulous old police officer say such nonsense?

Also, when was the cabinet able to intervene in the justice system so blatantly?

Fortunately, the boss didn’t reprimand her for a long time and quickly hung up the phone. There seemed to be a big case in Ginza. The entire police department was working on this case.

She put down her phone as if she had just lost her soul and she drove to the hotel.

She didn’t know what kind of emotion she had when she got into the elevator. She passed through the watchful eyes of the bodyguards, headed to the door of that room, and pressed the doorbell.

Fortunately, it was Qian Xia who opened the door and not that demon.

“Officer Kwai?” Qian Xia smiled as if she was expecting her, “You are here to see the master? He left early in the morning.”

The word “master” made Kwai feel quite awkward, but she didn’t say anything more about it and simply asked with a standoffish vibe.

“When will he be back?”

“I don’t know, he didn’t tell me the specifics,” Qian Xia shook her head, still with the same smile, “Anyway, please come in.”

Kwai took off her shoes, put on the slippers Qian Xia had prepared for her, and went to sit on the sofa in the living room

Qian Xia went into the kitchen, and soon brought her a cup of black tea.

After Kwai expressed her gratitude, she stood up to take the cup from her and then sat back down. With both her hands on the teacup, she took a small sip.

The scent of tea calmed her mind and made Officer Kwai’s depressed mood slightly better.

She hadn’t drank much water since she got up, and she was indeed thirsty now.

The self-proclaimed maid – Qian Xia, was indeed an expert in tea craft. Even if she didn’t understand the tea culture, she still tasted the difference in this cup of black tea from the fragrance that diffused at the tip of her tongue.

“What are you thinking about?”

When Kwai heard the voice across from her, she looked up at the smiling Qian Xia. Then she immediately lowered her head with thoughts in her mind.

“Why is Miss Qian Xia working for him? You should know that he is…” With the hot teacup in her hands, Kwait wanted to use the words “devil and “pervert” to describe the demon. However, she couldn’t decide which one was more appropriate.

“In the beginning, it was only because of work. As for what happened later,” Qian Xia’s cheeks showed a tinge of red, and her index finger rested on her lips as she spoke embarrassedly, “Probably because I felt very happy?”

“Happy?” Kwai was stunned. Her eyebrows twitched slightly and she said somewhat awkward, “Eh? Do you call that happiness?”

“Of course,” Qian Xia nodded and smiled frankly. “Why isn’t Miss Kwai franker?”

“Franker?” Kwai frowned slightly, “I don’t understand what you mean.”

Qian Xia smiled and tapped her index finger on her lower lip.

“Well, maybe the master is fascinated by you at this point. Even I start to admire you a little.”

Kwai looked at Qian Xia in a daze. She inexplicable felt a strangeness from her sweet smile and it made her uncomfortable.

She didn’t know why.

Just instinctively, she felt a trace of fear…

“Sorry, I… I have to go now.” She put the cup on the table and as she was about to stand up and bow to say goodbye, her head suddenly felt dizzy, her legs turned soft, and she sat back down again.

“Ah, are you leaving this early?” Qian Xia smiled and stood up slowly.

Kwai looked at Qian Xia who was walking towards her and a trace of panic crossed her cloudy eyes. She struggled to sit up, but the sofa behind her seemed to be magical as it firmly imprisoned her weak body into the softness.

“What did you put in the cup…?”

Kwai exhausted the last bit of strength and squeezed these words from her throat.

“Something that can make you franker.” Without changing the way she smiled, Qiao Xia bowed slightly, “I’m very sorry, please forgive the master for his waywardness.”

“Don’t… don’t come to me.”

“Miss Kwai, I apologize.”
