A minute later, the trio plus Zheng Qing sat on the stone bench and table under the apricot tree.

Yang Qinglan carried a lunchbox containing beef, shrimp, ribs, spicy chicken, stir-fried clams, lettuce with oyster sauce, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dry-fried green beans, and a bowl of loofah and egg soup.

There was no rice, and the portions of dishes were small, just a little of everything.

“I’ve already reported your situation, and my superiors asked me to thank you for your help,” Zheng Qing said.

"If we didn't run into her, fine, but if we did, how could we not help? It's not like it's a life-threatening situation." Li Changzhou said, his eyes fixed on her pocket.

Zheng Qing knew what he was looking for.

"Acts of bravery require approval, and we won't know the specifics for a few days," she said.

"Then why did Officer Zheng come to our door in person?" Li Qianxia asked, puzzled.

"The crocodile incidents this morning are not isolated cases. They are happening all over the world now, with the number of incidents per day exceeding that of fires, reaching 20,000, and this is just the number of statistics."

"I've come here today to ask for your help in handling something like this."

"I'm attracted to your good looks," Yang Qinglan said to Li Changzhou while biting into a rib.

Li Changzhou hesitated for a moment: "Officer Zheng, you're not my type."

"..." Zheng Qing didn't speak, but secretly took a deep breath.

"My brother likes girls with slim waists and long legs, breasts as big as peaches, unparalleled beauty, and a cool yet glamorous temperament! They must have long hair!"

“No man wouldn’t like a woman like that.” Li Changzhou took a sip of snow mountain mineral water.

Li Qianxia leaned back, glanced at Yang Qinglan's back, and added, "When sitting on the stool, the ends of her hair are three or four centimeters away from the stool surface."

Yang Qinglan discarded the ribs that had no meat left, and then used her chopsticks to pick up the meat from the clams.

Zheng Qing quickly interrupted the two siblings.

“I’m here to talk business.” She said seriously, “Li Changzhou, we need your skills. We want you to help us attract the target’s attention and prevent them from escaping.”

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan.

“Consider it practice, we’ll join you.” Yang Qinglan discarded the clam shell and ate a bite of the loofah in the soup.

"What about the price?" Li Changzhou asked Zheng Qing.

"50,000 Great Xia coins, plus some intelligence."

"Intelligence must have value."

"Of course!" Zheng Qing nodded vigorously.
