Stealing Your Heart

The man was rendered speechless again.

Then, he nervously chuckled. “Hehe, Chief Shen, you’re a kind man. Don’t hold me accountable for this, okay?”

Shen Peichuan was not taking revenge at work for his private grudges; he actually knew how capable the man was. “I’ll give you ten more days.”

The man stuck out two fingers. “Two months. I’ll need two months at least.”

Shen Peichuan lifted his head to look at him. “You’re pushing your luck.”

The man knew that Shen Peichuan had not given him the case impulsively; they had worked on a case together in the past. This was Shen Peichuan giving him an opportunity.

“I don’t care. You have to give me two months for this. The case is complicated, and I’m getting involved midway. I have to re-investigate many things. Forty days is too short,” the man said solemnly.

“You get another five days. I want the results in one and a half month.”

“I don’t have enough time,” the man complained with a frown.

“Think of something yourself.”

The man took in a deep breath.
