It was past 5:30 in the morning, and Li Yajuan's sofa was still sleeping soundly.

  The bedroom door opened quietly, and Ye Nan slipped out stealthily, glanced at the sky brightening in the east, picked up the notebook and film from the tea table, stuffed them into a small white bag she was holding, and crept silently towards the living room door.

  "Bang."

  The living room lights were on.

  Bang.

  Ye Nan's bag fell to the ground.

  "Open your eyes towards the bright sky and say coldly: 'Sister Ye, don't even greet me with a word?'"

  "It's dawn, you, you didn't sleep?" Ye Nang said with a red face.

  Tian Liang sat up towards the sky and let out a heavy hum.

  "Heh heh, with tigers and wolves by my side, can I sleep soundly?"

  "It's dawn, I'm sorry, listen to me explain..."

  He waved his hand, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. "I'll only say it once, you don't need to explain, just put the things back where they were."

  Ye Nan picked up the package from the ground and returned to the tea table, not daring to look up at Tian Liang. With trembling hands, she put the notebook and film back in their original place.

  "The sky is bright, I'm really sorry..." Ye Nann lowered her head.

  Li Yajuan came out wearing her clothes at this time.

  "Yenang, how could you do this? I believe that Xiaoxiang will eventually return the notebook to Lao Juzhang. You didn't have to go this far."

  Xiang Tianliang looked at Ye Nannan and nodded: "Sister Li is right, I'm thinking about it now."

  "Are you pretending to sleep on purpose? Did you guess I'd do this all along?"

  "Haha, of course." Xiang Tianliang smiled complacently and continued, "The old director treats you like his own daughter, and you treat the old director like a father. How could you possibly help me get the three notebooks and then hand them over to someone else? So, all you need to do next is return the three notebooks to their rightful owner."

  "You're really good at pretending, I knew it earlier but you didn't say anything." Ye Nann muttered.

  "Ha ha, I wanted to test you, and unexpectedly, you couldn't withstand the test."

  Li Yajuan advised: "Xiao Xiang, don't blame Ye Nan either, after all she was also entrusted by someone."

  "Yeh sister, your undercover skills are really too bad." Xiang Tianliang scolded with a smile.

  "So it was, you knew all along." Ye Nann slumped down in his seat.

  Li Ya-jun also sat down, "What are you going to do?"

  "Alas, I thought about it, handing it over to Director Chen is impossible, handing it over to Director Gao is equivalent to handing it over to the old director, handing it over to the Discipline Inspection Committee would mean offending the old director, Director Gao, Director Sun, Director Zhang, Secretary Wang, and also Sister Ye. I have already offended Director Fu now, so how can I continue working at the Construction Bureau in the future? Therefore, the best solution is still to return things to their original owner."

  Li Yajuan was slightly dissatisfied, "In the end, you still have to return it to Lao Juzhang."

  "That's right, it's settled then."

  Ye Nan's face showed delight, "That, isn't that the same idea as mine?"

  "Hmm, an idea? You make it sound easy, you take things and leave with a flourish, what about my benefits? Tomorrow, Director Yu will come to settle accounts with me, who will protect me?"

  "I'll explain the situation to Director Lao," Ye Nan said in a low voice.

  "Still stubborn." Glaring at Tian Liang with a fierce gaze, his anger rose, "Damn it, you stinky woman, almost ruined my big deal."

  As he spoke, he pulled Yan Nai over with one hand and flipped her onto the sofa.

  "It's daytime, I was wrong, you, what are you going to do?"

  Her posture, Ye Nan's little butt was raised high.

  "Everyone says men can't hit women, but I don't believe in that nonsense. Today, I'm going to give you forty big slaps, do you dare to disobey?"

  "I... as long as you return the things to Old Director, I'll let you off."

  Bang, bang, bang......

  He said he would spank and really did, without showing any mercy until dawn, slapping the little buttocks twenty times with a loud smack.

  What was even more bizarre was that despite being in pain and having tears streaming down her face, Ye Nang still had an expression of enjoyment.

  "It's daytime, you're still hitting... Are you going to hit again?"

  What kind of stuff is this girl made of?

  Li Yajuan beside her just smiled and looked at her, without any intention of dissuading her.

  She likes being hit, eating...

  Xiang Tian Liang suddenly understood something in his heart. His gaze left the little butt that was getting higher and higher as it struggled, and turned towards Li Ya Juan.

  "It's your turn now, Sister Li."

  "What? Why are you punishing me?" Li Yajuan took a step back.

  "About an hour ago, you sneaked into the living room and used a switcheroo to swap out all the film, didn't you?" Tian Liang said with a smile.

  "You, you also saw it." Li Yajuan's face suddenly turned pale.

  "Nonsense, I wasn't asleep at all, of course I can see it."

  "You knew earlier, did you know I was going to change the film?"

  Xiang Tian nodded slightly, "There's a glimmer of revenge in your eyes, and it's still there now. This isn't good, it will ruin the second half of your life."

  Li Yajuan hastily said: "Xiao Xiang, I was wrong. I'll go get the film and return it to you." She then turned around and went into the bedroom.

  "Hey, are you really going to spank Li Jie's butt?" Ye Nann sat up straight and asked with great interest.

  "What do you think?" Tian Liang blinked at him.

  "Pull her, I'll help you."

  Li Yajuan came out with a paper box in her hand.

  Yen snatched the paper box, gave Tian Liang a wink, and suddenly pressed down on Li Ya Juan. Her small mouth excitedly shouted, "Tian Liang, pull it hard."

  "Xiao Xiang, okay, sorry, don't, don't hit me..." Li Yajuan cried out while lying on the sofa.

  He said seriously to Tian Liang: "This won't do, I've always believed that rewards and punishments must be clear-cut. Sister Li, in order to make you remember this for a long time, I'm going to give you twenty lashes."

  Ye Nan pressed down on Li Ya Juan, shouting loudly in her ear, "Pull her, Tian Liang, pull her hard!"

  Li Ya's butt is much more plump than Ye Nan's, and she only wore a thin nightgown. The triangular pants were faintly visible, and it felt tender and smooth to the touch. He couldn't help but touch her a few more times as he approached dawn. Damn, it was really a fertile land, how could nothing grow on it?

  "Slap." He slapped towards Tian Liang with a moderate force.

  "Ah." Li Yajuan let out a miserable cry.

  Bang, bang, bang......

  Not too much nor too little, with a burst of energy, he went up twenty floors in one breath.

  "Oww..." Li Yajuan cried out in pain.

  Toward Tian Liang, he didn't show any mercy, and even emphasized again, "From now on, whoever makes a mistake again, I will deal with them in the same way."

  Under Yan's support, Li Yajuan gritted her teeth and sat up, "Xiao Xiang, you, you really hit hard, too, too ruthless."

  "Silly woman, isn't scolding and beating a sign of affection?" Xiang Tianliang smiled, reaching out to gently wipe away Li Yajuan's tears.

  Yan Nan beside her, looked envious.

  Li Yajuan finally calmed down too.

  "Yeh jie, call Director Lao right now and tell him I need to see him immediately."

  Toward the bright dawn, the great horse with golden sword in hand sat down, and then issued the next command "to act".
