[The stern antitrust investigator × the rebellious business tycoon]
[Two powerful men flirting | Push and pull to the limit | The ultimate tension between adults]
Wen Shu has been having a rough time lately.
Cang He, the ungrateful wolf he raised, has stolen his family business and taken his projects, and even started rumors across the internet that he's gay.
To make matters worse, the Antitrust Investigation Bureau has come knocking at just this moment.
Leading the team is special investigator Long Jinhua. Broad-shouldered and long-legged in his sharp suit, he looks at Wen Shu as if examining a math problem that needs solving.
Wen Shu decides to face him head-on: You want to investigate? Then I'll give you a thorough look.
But as the investigation goes on, the atmosphere starts to feel off...
In the conference room, the sight of the other man's forearm as he rolls up his sleeves distracts him.
During a late-night shift, a simple "Get some rest" makes his heart skip a beat.
Then, at a charity gala, he's so drunk he grabs the other man's tie and kisses him.
It's over.
Wen Shu thinks. Forget clearing my name, now I'm going to lose both myself and my company.
But Long Jinhua merely wipes the wine from the corner of his mouth and bundles him into the car. "Mr. Wen, you're suspected of abusing your personal charm to interfere with an investigator's professional judgment."
Wen Shu: "...And?"
Long Jinhua leans over and fastens his seat belt. "Therefore, this case requires a long-term, in-depth, one-on-one supplementary investigation."
His breath brushes Wen Shu's ear.
"The term: provisionally, a lifetime."
