"Hey Qiqi, what major do you want to apply for in college? Finance?"

The word "Qiqi" from Chongyu's mouth successfully made Qi Silin silently raise his eyes.

Feeling the death stare from his older brother, Chongyu thought, "..."

Please don't do that...

Qi Jiu remained calm: "Pharmacy."

Qi Silin: "??"

Chongyu: "??"

Liu Yun: "??"

Why are all the answers so unexpected? A business tycoon going to study pharmacy?

It was almost midnight when we returned to the Shen family manor. The manor was usually quiet and dark, but there were lights faintly lit on the first floor of the main building.

Pushing open the door, the hall was very quiet. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice that there was someone sitting on the sofa.

Hearing a noise at the door, Shen Cimo subconsciously put down the documents in his hand, turned his head to look at the person at the door, his eyes filled with fatigue.

"Qiqi".

Qi Jiu looked at him, paused, and asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

Her gaze fell on the things on the table, and she raised an eyebrow. "Don't look at documents so late; it's bad for your eyes."

Being a CEO is tiring, but managing a company is even more tiring, she knows this all too well.

Shen Cimo laughed. The person in front of him was only 18, but he said it as if he were 28.

"I've been waiting for you." He stood up, picked up a glass of warm water from the table, and handed it to you. "My secretary saw you leaving the police station today. Did something happen to you? Do you need any help?"

Although he didn't know her exact identity abroad, it was probably a sensitive matter for the police.

"No need." The girl took the water glass. "Go help out, it's okay."

Just as she was about to leave, she noticed the cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table, which looked like they had been smoked not long ago.

"MoMo".

"...Hmm?" He was taken aback by the sudden appearance of such a form of address, but when he turned to look at Qi Jiu, he actually accepted it from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, they were passive from the very beginning.

To the outside world, it's said that the Shen family adopted Qi Jiu, and that they accepted her. But the truth is, if Qi Jiu wants to, the Shen family is nothing.

It was never the Shen family that accepted her; it was she who accepted the Shen family.

Now, she has accepted him and looks at him like family.

"Smoking is harmful to your health, so smoke less. Also, I might be quite busy lately, so don't wait for me, get some rest."

The next day, just as Qi Jiu had said, she was quite busy and had been missing since morning.

Lin Chuan looked at the girl sitting in the conference room with such a bad posture, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, but he didn't say anything and eventually changed the subject.

“Miss Qi, we’ve been to the interrogation room many times, but Jiang Hong still hasn’t been able to say anything.”

Qi Jiu nodded, then pulled out a mint from somewhere and popped it into her mouth. "I never intended to rely on her to say anything anyway."

The agent knows many people, but ultimately they all revolve around Liu Yan.

Lin Chuan nodded and continued to recount the information he had discovered, with the police officer beside him occasionally adding a word or two.

Qi Silin pursed his lips, turned his head, and saw the person next to him twisting and turning. He lowered his eyes, realizing that the chair didn't seem to be comfortable.

It's a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing this, he didn't say anything, but silently took off his coat, folded it into a square, and placed it on Qi Jiu's lower back.

Their actions didn't make much of a fuss, but they drew everyone's attention to the two of them, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Hmm~

Liu Yun stood behind Qi Silin, staring intently at his movements, and silently glanced at Chong Yu beside her, her eyes seeming to speak volumes.

Liu Yun: Master and Miss Qi are together?

Chongyu: I haven't heard of it, but judging from how things are developing, it seems like it'll happen soon.

Liu Yun: ...

On the other side, Guo Jiansheng nodded, a sly smile on his face. It seemed the rumor was true! The iron tree had finally blossomed!

"Captain, why can't we make this public? It would make the investigation easier that way."

In the rest area, one of the police officers finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

However, Lin Chuan did not answer, but instead focused his gaze on Qi Jiu, because from the beginning of this matter until now, the execution authority has been fully handed over to Qi Jiu.

"Because the murderer killed more than just this one person."

"What?"

Does killing more than one person mean that the killer is a serial killer?

"sister!"

At the door, Lin Yan ruffled his shiny blond hair and strode in with an air of indifference.

To outsiders, Lin Yan looked like a delinquent, completely out of place among the police officers in uniform with their distinctive aura.

"Sister, here's what you wanted."

Qi Jiu handed the stack of papers to Lin Chuan. "Two months ago, an artist named Liu Feifei died at home. The final diagnosis was suicide due to depression."

At this point, she pointed to the papers with her finger. "Xu Feng flipped through the case file. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this case, but there were still some doubts. Now, these two cases have something in common."

In short, the perpetrator in both cases should be the same person.

"We didn't tell anyone to avoid alerting the perpetrators. Serial killers aren't stupid. But the trail has gone cold."

Over the past few days, they have investigated everyone connected to Liu Yan, but still haven't found any relevant clues.

Furthermore, their statements have all been verified.

Qi Silin looked at Qi Jiu and said, "The scope of artists is the widest."

"So, people in the entertainment industry naturally need to investigate it first." The two of them spoke in perfect unison, one sentence after the other.

Qi Silin immediately understood Qi Jiu's meaning. The other officers nearby, however, seemed not to have grasped it.

"But if we get involved in the investigation, won't this matter be exposed?"

"No, no."

Qi Jiu waved her hand, "Entering the entertainment industry isn't just about having someone investigate. There's another way called infiltration."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to the pretty policewoman beside her. "Miss, would you be interested in acting in a movie? Would you like to experience the life of an actor?"

It seems unlikely that this case will be resolved quickly.

Entering the entertainment industry and building good relationships with artists related to Liu Yan was a long process.

"It's a bit difficult for people without formal training to enter the entertainment industry, and it seems even more difficult without connections." Chong Yu's expression was somewhat serious.

Qi Jiu smiled and said, "Isn't it just about having money and power?"

The entertainment industry is a murky place; how many truly ordinary people can actually make it out there? Aren't most of them from wealthy and powerful families?
