Chapter 24 Chapter 24

The next morning, at the conference table on the first floor of Shen Luohan's base, Shen Luohan's handsome face was obviously much thinner. His expression was gloomy, and his deep brows were frighteningly deep.

"Today, Qiu Te, you and I will search these places." He pointed to the locations circled in red.

Ji Yuanchen stared at the map near the blackboard, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, his expression showing no emotion.

Zhang Keqing's expression was full of unhappiness. These places had been searched countless times. Qiao Yanrou was not nearby at all. She might have already died.

"Brother Chen, there's no Qiao Yanrou here. No matter how many times you search, the result will be the same. Wake up."

Shen Luohan ignored her and told Qiu Te and the others: "As long as you see zombies, you must get rid of them." As long as she is still alive, he will definitely find her.

Zhang Keqing's long-standing jealousy and dissatisfaction with Qiao Yanrou erupted at this moment, and she stood up despite the obstruction of those around her.

"What's so good about Qiao Yanrou? She abandoned you, she doesn't want you anymore! But Brother Chen, you still have me."

Zhang Keqing had not expected that Qiao Yanrou would occupy such an important position in Shen Luohan's heart. She was even jealous and hated Qiao Yanrou. What kind of magic could make Shen Luohan so obsessed?

Qiu Te quickly told her to shut up. It was a blessing that Boss Shen did not vent his anger on her. How could she be so ignorant!

Shen Luohan's expression was gloomy and terrifying. A lightning blade was suspended in front of her neck out of thin air, and blood instantly flowed down her neck.

"I only want Qiao Yanrou, who are you?"

Qiu Te and several other psychics nearby pleaded anxiously and stood up one after another: "Boss Shen, we will take good care of her and will never let her appear in front of you again."

"Yes, please let Keqing go."

"Boss Shen, please show mercy."

Many people at the conference table pleaded for Zhang Keqing, mainly because they did not want to lose a mid-level dual-system psychic.

Only Ji Yuanchen and Bai Xiaoyan remained silent. Bai Xiaoyan stared intently at the map on the blackboard. A distant base was circled in red, becoming one of the places Shen Luohan was going to search for personally...

When the lightning blade in front of Zhang Keqing's neck disappeared, she finally realized that she was afraid of Shen Luohan. The murderous intention just now was not fake. She was just about to become a ghost under the lightning blade.

No one dared to refute anything Shen Luohan said next. Zhang Keqing had already been taken out of the meeting room by Qiu Te and did not dare to let Boss Shen see her again.

The meeting ended, and the people sitting around dispersed. Bai Xiaoyan walked out of the first floor hall with a restless heart. Yan Rou should have been taken in by a distant base. If Shen Luohan went to search...

Bai Xiaoyan broke out in a cold sweat, but the distant base had been circled in red by Shen Luohan, and he would not let go of any corner nearby.

What should she do? What should Yanrou do?! She was so anxious, but she couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

"What are you doing standing at the door?"

Shen Luohan's voice came from behind, and Bai Xiaoyan was almost scared to death by his sinister tone.

"Boss Shen, why are you so elusive?" Bai Xiaoyan used embarrassment to hide the goosebumps on her body.

"I have to leave quickly. See you later, Boss Shen." After she said that, she waved to him and ran away quickly.

Shen Luohan stood at the door and stared at Bai Xiaoyan's back as she ran away, his eyes cold.

At the distant base, Qiao Yanrou was busy putting the picked longans in a winnowing basket, spreading them out in the sun to dry, and turning them into dried longans.

Fang Li said that the longan trees in the base had a bumper harvest this year, and the people in the base couldn't finish eating them. To prevent them from going bad, she dried all the leftover longan.

Under the scorching sun, she was busy like a little bee between the winnowing basket and longan.

Li Pinqin, who came to chat with her and tried to pursue her, happened to see this scene and was deeply fascinated by her.

Li Pinqin had just been in the base for a day or two. Because he was afraid that someone would snatch the woman from him, he didn't even ask anyone in the base about her identity.

He wanted to get to know her slowly, and he believed that with his charm, no woman would be willing to reject him.

Qiao Yanrou was busy working when a man walked over to her. She noticed him and glanced at him a few times.

She remembered this man as a psychic who had just entered the base yesterday. There was no one around. Was he lost? Was he looking for directions?

Li Pinqin gave her a refreshing smile: "I am Li Pinqin, the psychic who just entered the base yesterday. I am a mid-level dual-system psychic and will soon be promoted to a higher level."

Qiao Yanrou fiddled with the longan and nodded at him, "Nice to meet you."

"Are you drying longans?" He started to make small talk, and when she nodded, he offered to help.

"Let me help you. You are too thin and weak to lift anything heavy." Li Pinqin wanted to help eagerly.

Qiao Yanrou smiled and said, "It's okay. This longan is not serious. I can do it myself."

Li Pinqin was lost in her smile, his dull eyes revealing his inability to extricate himself.

"Let me help you." The longans in the bag were not heavy. In order to show off his biceps, he lifted the longans with one arm and poured them in in a rather artificial manner.

Qiao Yanrou understood what he was here for and watched him pour the longan into the winnowing basket with a faint smile.

Li Pinqin put the empty bag down and deliberately flexed his muscles.

Her tone was polite yet distant: "Thank you, I can take care of the rest."

How could Li Pinqin be willing to miss this opportunity to strike up a conversation? "Don't be polite with me. I have all my strength and nowhere to use it. By the way, what's your name?"

Just as Qiao Yanrou was about to speak, Ji Yuanchen's low and magnetic voice came from behind her.

"Since you have no place to use all your strength, there is a job that is very suitable for you." Ji Yuanshen had a handsome appearance with a cold look, and the low pressure emanating from his body showed his extreme displeasure.

Qiao Yanrou turned around to look at him, and at this time Ji Yuanchen had already put his arm around her thin shoulders.

Li Pinqin was very annoyed when he was interrupted and looked closely. The person who came was Ji Yuanchen!

He just hugged Qiao Yanrou lazily, and everything became clear.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know this was your girlfriend."

Li Pinqin didn't dare to provoke him, as he was a well-known ruthless man. After apologizing, he didn't dare to look at Qiao Yanrou again and quickly left.

Seeing that the person who came to chat with her had finally left, Qiao Yanrou continued to bend down and spread out the longan.

Ji Yuanchen leaned over and hugged her from behind: "If a man approaches you in the future, ignore him."

Qiao Yanrou responded casually and didn't take this episode to heart.

She didn't know that the man behind her was speaking to her very gently, but when he looked at Li Pinqin who was leaving, his eyes were cold and piercing, and so sinister that it was frightening.

A few days later, when Ji Yuanchen sent her upstairs, he stood outside the door when it was about to close.

She said, "Well...I promise you." After that, she wanted to close the door.

But no matter how hard she tried, the door wouldn't close. Qiao Yanrou stopped closing the door, breathless, and looked at Ji Yuanchen outside. His expression was gloomy, and she knew it was his fault without even looking.

He opened the door with one hand, strode in, and stood in front of her.

"What did you say just now?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Qiao Yanrou regretted choosing the wrong time to tell him this and reached out to push him out: "You...you go out first and I'll tell you later."

Ji Yuanchen held her wrists with both hands and pressed her into his arms: "Speak now, I want to hear it."

Qiao Yanrou couldn't beat him: "I promise to be your girlfriend... um..." She felt a wet and hot touch in her ears, and she let out a soft moan, unable to continue.

Her ears and earlobes were teased by his tongue, and the strange tingling sensation made her cling to his arms, her eyes slightly closed in a daze.
