"Isn't it your turn to gossip? Why is it me again?" Chu Wuyan exclaimed that he had been taken advantage of.

He talked until his mouth was dry, only to get a piece of gossip from Lin Xiaoxiao that wasn't too serious.

The love-hate relationship between Boss Han Xiu and Leng Hu was no secret within the bureau.

Upon learning that the two were dating, Chu Wuyan was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he felt that it was only natural.

“I already told you, isn’t this gossip?” Lin Xiaoxiao was about to play hard to get. “Tell me quickly, what rumors are there about them?”

Han Xiu and Zhu Yuqi, two people who had absolutely no connection in her eyes, actually had a rumored romance.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who loved gossip, couldn't stand it anymore and stared longingly at Chu Wuyan.

Tell me quickly.

Chu Wuyan felt he had the upper hand and smiled slyly, “According to the rules of the martial arts world, if you want to hear gossip, you have to pay for the divination first.”

Lin Xiaoxiao: "......."

OK.

It's just a divination fee.

She has plenty.

Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth at first, then smiled and said, "Do you want to hear your own gossip?"

"My gossip?" Chu Wuyan pointed at himself, momentarily stunned. "What gossip could I possibly have?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's confident expression, he smiled, relaxed his body, leaned back, and adopted a posture of listening attentively, "Alright, tell me."

And he didn't forget to emphasize, "If it doesn't sound good, that doesn't count."

He knows everything about his own life; there's nothing to gossip about.

Lin Daiyu is definitely teasing him again.

Lin Xiaoxiao pretended to calculate with her fingers, "I see that your forehead is dark, as if there are dark clouds covering your head. From an astrological point of view, the shadow of Venus retrograde is looming over you, and Mercury is also in opposition to Mars, which indicates that everything will be difficult."

"Wait..." Chu Wuyan called out urgently, "What nonsense are you spouting, little ancestor? Don't you understand the importance of combating feudal superstition?"

"Don't be in such a hurry." Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, her smile full of malice, which sent a chill down his spine. "What are you afraid of in your own backyard? Today I'm going to let you experience my supernatural powers."

After saying that, he started muttering to himself.

After babbling on and on, Chu Wuyan became increasingly certain that she was just teasing him, but he still played along with her feigned incomprehension.

"So what did you mean by rambling on and on? Where's my gossip?"

Lin Xiaoxiao stroked her chin. "Tsk tsk... This is clearly a sign that your luck is plummeting."

He feigned seriousness, giving off an expression as if a storm was brewing, which made Chu Wuyan's vision go black.

"Okay, okay, stop teasing me."

"I'm not kidding you." Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him, her expression indifferent, but her words sent a chill down Chu Wuyan's spine, "On your way here, you accidentally wandered into an alley and saved a woman being abused, didn't you?"

Chu Wuyan: "!!!"

My legs went weak instantly.

"Sis, don't scare me." My voice was hoarse.

Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Call me 'sister' when you need something, and 'little sister' when you don't. Who's more dramatic than you?"

Chu Wuyan, eager for confirmation, flattered her, saying, "Calling me 'sister' is my way of acknowledging your abilities."

"Tell me quickly, how did you know I saved a woman?"

He was absolutely certain that he and the couple were the only people in that alley; there were no other strangers.

Lin Xiaoxiao's fourth-person perspective is too bizarre.

He couldn't help but think of her seemingly impressive calculations earlier, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked in a low voice, "Do you really have supernatural powers?"

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the creation of spirits was forbidden, which caused Chu Wuyan, a staunch materialist, to have his worldview somewhat shattered.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't explain to him why she knew, but instead said, "Be careful on your way back."

The long prelude and eerie atmosphere were fully built up, but in the end, only this one sentence was spoken, leaving Chu Wuyan somewhat disappointed.

But I also became more wary.

He knows Lin Xiaoxiao well; she never speaks without reason. It seems she knows something.

Be careful...

Is it related to that couple in the alley?

Many guesses flashed through my mind, but I couldn't verify them for the time being, so I could only focus my attention on Lin Xiaoxiao.

"How about this fortune-telling fee?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"Very good, excellent, absolutely perfect, nothing could be better," Chu Wuyan said, cupping his eyes.

To avoid overthinking, Chu Wuyan also took the opportunity to mention some rumors about Han Xiu and Leng Hu.

Everyone in the bureau knows about these things; there's no such thing as a secret.

"It is said that Boss Han and Leng Hu joined the National Security Bureau in the same batch. They were the best among the new recruits and their abilities were comparable."

"In the graduation assessment, Leng Hu surpassed Han Laoda by a narrow margin and entered the Counter-Espionage Division with the first place. There are rumors that Han Laoda's initial goal was the Intelligence Technology Division, but he ended up joining the Counter-Espionage Division. The reason for this is... well, everyone guesses that it was for Leng Hu."

"However, Leng Hu was focused on completing missions, and it seemed like Boss Han was deliberately competing with her. You take on missions, and I take on missions too. In the end, the winner is determined by the mission rating, which is quite like a contest."

"Later, there were rumors that Boss Han confessed his feelings to Leng Hu, but it definitely didn't work out."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Why?"

Chu Wuyan said, "Because Leng Hu disappeared not long after, everyone guessed that she must have taken on some top-secret mission and needed to lie low for a long time. Boss Han also refused to mention her. If anyone asked, he would say that the two had nothing to do with each other. In the following years, the two were basically never seen together."

When Leng Hu reappeared, she was already dating Han Xiu, which suggests that the rumors from back then weren't all false.
