Chapter 12 Red Rose
"Whoever said that just now, go to the logistics department and submit your resignation letter! We don't want cowards here!"
Deathly silence.
I feel like I can hear a pin drop clearly at this moment.
Even Wen Nianchu on the side was stunned and blinked. It seemed that this sister was quite gentle to him in the interrogation room.
Gu Mingyue sneered and looked at those people who lowered their heads instantly after being scolded:
"Don't you feel ashamed? You're not even as enthusiastic as two high school graduates to be bait."
two?
Xie Yue raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Nianchu who was standing obediently.
There was a disobedient alopecia on her head, and she was reaching out to press the disobedient hair.
At this time, the young man who had just delivered the information on the other side muttered quietly:
"Maybe it's because only high school students want to save the world."
After receiving Gu Mingyue's cold stare, the young male police officer immediately shut up.
"What? You think it's ridiculous that a high school student wants to save the world?"
I just lowered my head and didn't dare to breathe.
"At least they still have passion." Gu Mingyue walked to a chair and sat down, "But you, even your blood is cold."
"A stranger entering the Imperial Dynasty would easily arouse suspicion. That's why Uncle Liu recommended Xie Yue, who is more familiar with the situation. Captain Gu, there's really no better way right now, and time is extremely tight. If we're not careful, our operation could be completely ruined." Amidst the introspection, someone stood up and rationally analyzed, "The informant planted in the casino can't contact us at all, and we must get the location of the operation from him."
Gu Mingyue: "Then..."
"Wait." Wen Nianchu's voice cut through the air crisply, "I think this arrangement may not be appropriate."
She probably understood why these people sent Xie Yue as an undercover agent because he was more familiar to them.
However, Xie Yue did not seem to succeed in his previous life. Instead, they took away one of his legs. It can be seen that letting Xie Yue go in is doomed to fail.
"Officer Gu, my identity is more secure than Xie Yue's."
"After all, a top-scoring college entrance exam winner who once worked in a casino, whose family came from an orphanage, and who had already received a large sum of money from the Rongcheng Education Grant, suddenly returning to the casino at this particular time, wouldn't that be worthy of suspicion?"
Since the Royal Dynasty will be conducting private transactions in the next few days, there will definitely be special screening of suspicious persons entering in the next few days.
They also have to be prepared.
Xie Yue looked at Wen Nianchu standing in the distance, talking to him seriously.
She was wearing a black long skirt, the hem of which covered her knees, and her long hair fell on her shoulders. If you ignored the few unruly hairs on the top of her head that stuck up, she looked elegant and peaceful.
Perhaps it is these few unruly hairs that make the eldest daughter of the Wen family, who always puts on airs, look... not so annoying.
[System prompt: The remaining time for the rose gift mission is 00:13:14]
Xie Yue lowered his eyes and glanced at the delicate and beautiful rose in his hand. His fingertips gently rubbed down and touched the sharp thorns on the rose stem.
The thorns on the rose stem caused him a little pain, making him frown slightly, but he tasted a strange sense of clarity in the pain.
"Unless we go together." Wen Nianchu said, suddenly looking up and looking straight into Xie Yue's dark eyes.
She tilted her head, her hair brushing across her collarbone:
"Student Xie Yue, do you have any objections?"
She had indeed never been to the Royal Casino in this life, but since Xie Yue was familiar with it, he could be a good helper.
Xie Yue stood silently.
After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "No."
Gu Mingyue looked at the two young men standing in front of her, her heart throbbing.
The top scorer in the college entrance examination and a female high school graduate, this combination seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.
She rubbed her brows and looked back and forth between the two of them.
She certainly wanted to send an experienced undercover agent, but her subordinates had been right. The imperial dynasty had been in turmoil recently, and the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar face would easily arouse suspicion.
These two young men...
"You two," Gu Mingyue suddenly said, her voice so serious that the office instantly fell silent, "Do you know what this means?"
Xie Yue raised his eyes, his eyes behind the silver-framed lenses were as calm as water:
"Know."
"What about you?" Gu Mingyue turned to Wen Nianchu.
The girl pursed her lips, but said nonchalantly:
"I know it better than anyone else. Besides, haven't I already offended them?"
Gu Mingyue took a deep breath.
She thought of the photos of victims in the archives, and the families destroyed by drugs. Now the opportunity was before her, but the price to pay could also be her life.
"Listen," she suddenly stepped forward, practically gritting her teeth as she spoke, "Once you're in there, just find the informant and get the evidence. Don't get involved with those gamblers lightly. You two kids can't handle it. If you realize something's wrong, retreat immediately. We'll also organize a group of people to meet you two outside."
Xie Yue nodded slightly, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across the top of Wen Nianchu's head.
The look was indifferent, but it made Wen Nianchu feel an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck.
Gu Mingyue looked around at everyone, finally compromised and nodded:
"In that case, you two should get acquainted with each other privately first, and the operation will begin tomorrow night."
"I know him." Wen Nianchu took the initiative to speak.
Gu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and glanced back and forth between the two of them:
"Have you known each other for a long time?"
"Yeah." Xie Yue's expression was indifferent, and his voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard. "No need to get familiar with it."
"Okay, Miss Wen, your driver has already taken the statement. When you go out, turn left at the intersection. There is an open-air parking lot there." Gu Mingyue coughed and said.

After walking out.
Wen Nianchu lowered his eyes.
Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to throw herself into the fire pit - Wen Nianchu's friend was tragically killed in a blind spot in the Royal Casino's surveillance camera, and the case was finally closed as an accidental sudden death.
She remembered rushing to the hospital, kneeling on the cold tiles of the morgue, and holding her friend's bruised wrist tightly.
Later, she spent a full 200 million yuan, almost all her wealth at the time, to find the retired gambling king K. K always wore a black mask, making it impossible to know his face behind it. He never spoke when teaching her, but just tapped the cards with his black-gloved fingers and demonstrated various moves to her.
Hundreds of days and nights of hard training left her fingertips covered with calluses, but when she was finally able to cut cards with her eyes closed, the Royal Casino had already turned into ruins.
She also found that her physical condition was getting worse and worse.
But now it's different. She can use what she learned in her previous life to remove this damn cancer as soon as possible and cut off all possibilities before tragedy happens, so that her friends will never be in danger again.
The memories came to an abrupt end, and Xie Yue stopped in front of Wen Nianchu.
He held two gorgeous red roses between his fingers.
"for you."
His voice was low, with a faint hoarseness at the end. The gesture of handing over the flowers was as graceful as inviting a dance partner, yet it exuded a force that brooked no refusal.
Wen Nianchu took the rose and stood there in a daze.
[System prompt: Today's temporary task completed, two roses given to Wen Nianchu]
"What's the meaning of sending roses?" Wen Nianchu raised his eyebrows and asked.
He lowered his head, the cold light from his silver-framed glasses reflected into her eyes, and his voice was so low and hoarse:
"Red roses are too vulgar, but dyed with your color, they are much more beautiful."
This sentence clearly sounded like something a seasoned lover would say, but when Xie Yue said it, it was no different from reading a text aloud. It sounded rigid and extremely boring.
Wen Nianchu suddenly lifted Xie Yue's chin with a rose, forcing him to look directly at her:
"Xie Yue, are you teasing me?"
