Shen Xingzhou raised his hand to catch the paper ball he threw over, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Why are you so angry?"

Si Chen had a cold face and said, "I have urged you to come back several times. Calculate how much time you have wasted."

"Didn't I complete the task you sent me?"

The expression on Si Chen's face froze.

Shen Xingzhou sat directly on a chair beside him and continued: "Saving the young master of the Lan family is also a great achievement, right?"

Si Chen laughed angrily, "Yes, it is a great achievement, but the Lan family remembers that it was your kindness. The old man of the Lan family asked you to come back and visit the Lan family, saying that he wanted to thank them in person."

Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Shen Xingzhou said calmly: “The thing you applied for before was approved. Wasn’t it the help of the Lan family?”

Si Chen blinked a little guiltily, coughed lightly to cover it up, and then said: "The special channel opened for you can no longer be used."

Shen Xingzhou nodded nonchalantly: "Got it,"

Si Chen crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you have your own way."

"You are still a public servant and have not resigned yet. Don't make mistakes."

Chen Xingzhou lowered his eyelashes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, his voice was casual and gentle, as if he was narrating: "Of course not,"

After all, Shen Xingzhou and An Heng are two different people.

What An Heng did had nothing to do with Chen Xingzhou!

Knowing that he knew what was going on, Si Chen said nothing more and smiled, "The Lan family has asked twice. When are you going to go?"

Shen Xingzhou said: "Just leave from here,"

"Well," Si Chen stood up from his desk, walked to the side, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, "You have this favor, so maintain the relationship well. It will be beneficial to your future development."

Shen Xingzhou took the cup, a smile on his face, “I understand,”

After drinking the water, he asked, "How long is my vacation?"

Si Chen rolled his eyes. "Since you have worked hard to complete the task and have been working without rest for many years, I will give you more rest time this time."

Shen Xingzhou nodded. He could be so generous, it seemed that there was nothing to do in the department and no tasks in the team.

"Okay, thanks," he put down the cup, stood up, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Si Chen's eyes flashed with doubt, "You have changed a lot recently,"

Shen Xingzhou put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the door and looked at him, “What has changed?”

"I can't really explain it, but I feel like you've been taking big steps lately."

He just smiled and said nothing.

His next goal will be even bigger.

Si Chen snorted coldly, "Let's go."

Shen Xingzhou turned around and opened the door, and Si Chen's voice came from behind him again, "By the way, let me remind you, be careful recently, there are some things I think are not right."

He stopped, looked sideways, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He knew Si Chen very well. Although he seemed a little weird, he had been in the investigation department for such a long time after all, and he also climbed up step by step from the bottom.

I am very sensitive to some things.

Si Chen said: "Someone is checking you,"

Shen Xingzhou: "If the Lan family investigates me, this is normal."

"The Lan family came directly to me to get your file. They were asking openly, while another group was investigating secretly. I don't know who they were. Anyway, you just need to be careful."

"Okay, I understand."

He turned and walked out of the room, following Yi An out of the Si family.

After getting in the car, when he heard Yi An asking where to go, Shen Xingzhou said calmly, “Lan’s family in Haishi,”

A dark light flashed across Yi An's eyes.

He said, "Show the way."

Seeing that he was still calm, Shen Xingzhou flashed a smile in his eyes, "Go straight, turn left at the end."

I stopped to eat a bowl of noodles at noon, and was on the road the rest of the time.

After arriving at Hai City, Yi An's mind began to become uneasy and he kept staring out the window in a daze.

"Cover your face,"

Yi An turned his head and looked at the man in the driver's seat.

He smiled bitterly: "Didn't you say that they don't look very similar?"

Shen Xingzhou was driving seriously, with the sleeves of his white sweater rolled up to his arms, revealing his forearms with smooth muscular lines, and the curve of his profile was particularly delicate.

Hearing this, he tilted his head and glanced at him, "Anyone with a keen eye can see the problem at a glance. The situation is unclear now, so cover it up."

As he said this, he took out a mask from the corner of the car and handed it to him.

His voice was casual, but his attitude was strong and unyielding.

Shen Xingzhou now only wanted to negotiate terms with the Lan family. As for the affairs of the Yi family brothers and sisters, he didn't want to take the initiative to investigate anything.

He always felt that the incident between the siblings and the kidnapping of Lan Zhuochi were probably the work of the same person.

The plan was so big, but the Lan family didn't find out anything. Shen Xingzhou didn't think he was more capable than the Lan family.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped at the intersection opposite the Lan family.

Yi An had calmed down at this moment. He said, "I'll wait for you in the car."

Shen Xingzhou got out of the car and walked straight to the door of Lan’s house.

After explaining the purpose of the visit, the guard at the gate no longer took precautions and said with a smile: "It's you."

"Do you know me?"

The guard opened the door and explained, "Young Master told almost every guard your name."

"I'll take you in,"

Shen Xingzhou nodded at him and followed him in.

After leading the person to the inner courtyard and handing him over to the housekeeper, he stepped out, thought of something, and walked towards the courtyard of Lanzhuochi.

The housekeeper led Shen Xingzhou to the reception room, served a pot of good tea, and said politely, "Please sit down for a moment."

Shen Xingzhou picked up the teacup, pursed his lips and took a sip, thinking back to everything he had seen along the way. It seemed that the Lan family had many rules.
