"Qiqi?"

"Hmm." Qi Jiu placed her phone on the table and turned it on speakerphone.

"Are you doing alright abroad? Have you encountered any trouble?"

Shen Cimo didn't explain himself clearly, but Qi Jiu understood what he meant. After all, they were both old foxes.

"not bad."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can tell me. I have some connections abroad."

Qi Jiu paused, then smiled.

Is it just a slight connection? But in the end, she didn't call him out on it and just replied with a simple yes or no.

"good."

He must really miss her, because he calls her every few days.

She also quickened her pace, spending several days organizing the organization from beginning to end. Without lingering, she returned to China.

Although Theo was very unhappy when she left, his big head always nudging her legs, he could only watch her go in the end.

As the weather gets warmer, the rainfall gradually increases, and today is another overcast day.

However, this did not dampen Qi Jiu's spirits in the slightest.

The air-conditioned coffee shop was filled with the rich aroma of coffee. Qi Jiu glanced at the ringing phone, gave the person on the other end a look, and then put it to her ear to answer.

"President Qi?"

Qi Silin sat in his office, enduring the fatigue of his journey, and dialed her number as soon as he got back.

"Mr. Qi, I'm so sorry for taking up so much time. Are you free today? I still owe you a meal."

Owes a meal?

Qi Jiu blinked. She had been so busy reorganizing the organization that she had almost forgotten about this matter. But now, it didn't seem to be the time for a meal.

"Bang."

The sound of the coffee cup being put down across from her caught her attention. A glint of light flashed in the girl's eyes, and her pink lips curled into a smile.

"I'm free, but it's not mealtime yet. Mr. Qi, why don't you... come find me?"

The slight rise in tone was like a light feather brushing against Qi Silin's heart, making him feel ticklish.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Feng looked at her with some confusion, "Why did you call him over?"

"Isn't it good to have another person to help? Besides, Qi Silin is quick-witted." A smile crept onto her lips.

Xu Feng didn't speak; the coffee in his cup was already empty.

Qi Jiu seemed to remember something and pulled the pastries in front of her closer to herself. "It's not that I can't help you, but remember what you promised me earlier, the food has to be in place."

The girl picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, a sly smile on her face.

Xu Feng paused. "I understand, Number Nine. I'll say it again, I'm a legitimate police officer. I can give you the stuff, but not that much."

Everyone knows how poor honest officials can be.

"A legitimate police officer?"

Qi Jiu's voice rose, and Xu Feng wanted to curse at her doubtful tone, but he ultimately held back.

City A Public Security Bureau.

"You're the person he invited?"

The director of the Public Security Bureau of City A looked at the girl in front of him and put on maximum patience.

In the same office, there were quite a few people in police uniforms, and their eyes were all fixed on the girl.

They recognized this person; his face had appeared in the news throughout City A.

As if she had anticipated being questioned, Qi Jiu remained calm.

"Yes, Xu Feng asked me to help you. Is there any other problem?" Qi Jiu's smile was somewhat fake.

The name 'Xu Feng' was like a bomb, causing the bureau chief's gaze to change considerably, as did the gazes of the other uniformed police officers.

They looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw solemnity and disbelief.

Xu Feng's identity was similar to theirs, yet also different. In their eyes, Xu Feng's identity was great, and beyond the reach of others.

How did such a young girl, who had just come of age, come into contact with him? Was it Xu Feng who personally invited her?

"But……"

"Report, Young Master Qi has arrived." A police officer saluted Chief Guo Jiansheng.

"Qi Silin?"

Guo Jiansheng muttered something, but couldn't figure it out in the end. He then waved to Lin Chuan beside him.

"Go and pick it up."

Lin Chuan nodded and left the conference room. Guo Jiansheng continued, "Miss Qi, how did you meet Officer Xu?"

At first, Xu Feng said someone was helping him, and he thought it was some kind of criminal investigation expert. He never expected it to be the Shen family's daughter.

These two people are completely unrelated.

Besides, they didn't really want to judge a book by its cover, but she was too young. Was it really appropriate for her to commit these crimes?

"I met him abroad, and I helped him before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room door was pushed open, and Lin Chuan and Qi Silin behind him appeared in the public eye.

"Young Master Qi, what's going on...?"

Qi Silin did not speak immediately, but instead focused his gaze on the people around Guo Jiansheng.

The little girl, like a cat that had stolen some cream, was looking at him and smiling mischievously.

Now that he's here, how could he not see why Qi Jiu called him here?

"Investigating the case."

Hearing the answer, Lin Chuan was dumbfounded. "Huh? I asked you for help before, and you said you were on a business trip and didn't have time. Now you're saying you're here to handle a case?"

Lin Chuan looked at him, completely baffled.

No matter how he invited him before, he always declined because he was too busy or on business trips. But now, the guy has come to him on his own.

Qi Silin's expression remained unchanged. He raised his chin and nodded at Qi Jiu, who was not far away.

“She asked me to come, this is different.”

Lin Chuan: "..."

Guo Jiansheng: "..."

Others: "..."

So the captain of the criminal investigation team isn't as effective as a little girl?

Lin Chuan was angry but couldn't express it, but because of this guy's identity and behavior, he couldn't say anything.

"Alright, then Young Master Qi, please find a place to sit down."

As time passed, Qi Jiu finally understood the details of the case.

Surprisingly, all the people involved in this case are from the entertainment industry.

It's well known that the entertainment industry is the place paparazzi watch the most closely. If there's any news or gossip, paparazzi and media outlets can probably publish it on the internet in no time.

"The artist involved in the incident is called Xingxing, that's her stage name. Her real name is Liu Yan..."

By the time Qi Jiu and the others left the conference room, the sky had gradually darkened. The girl sat in the rest area, holding relevant documents for the case in her hand. Before she could say anything, a cup of coffee appeared in front of her.

Looking up, I saw Chongyu's smiling face.

"Mr. Qi, I underestimated you. Not only do you have a business mind, but you're also good at solving cases."

Whether she was expressing her feelings or speaking to someone else, the girl simply waved her hand dismissively and turned her gaze back to Liu Yun.
