When Qiao Lian'er went out, she didn't forget to take her travel permit. She had asked Zhao Lizheng to prepare it in advance, because she often went out, so she always had a smooth journey.
If someone really wants to make things difficult for her and extort money from her, then take out the garrison strategist's token.
The guards immediately started bowing and scraping, trying to stuff silver into her hands, which she couldn't refuse no matter how hard she tried.
Helpless, Qiao Lian'er entered the city and, upon seeing the beggars, distributed the silver among them.
In a private room of a teahouse, Gao Shuying took a sip of tea, put down her cup, and saw that the person opposite her had already placed two portraits in front of her.
"These two were caught within half a month. Just like before, once they were subdued, they left a signal that someone would come to take them away."
Gao Shuying picked up the portrait and frowned: "This is a notorious bandit, and this is a fugitive death row inmate who killed three people. They all know martial arts and have strong counter-surveillance capabilities. It will not be an easy task to capture them within half a month."
The man opposite me was around twenty-five years old. He had handsome features but was cold and indifferent, with no emotion in his eyes.
"This is Lord Qi's request. These two are giving Lord Qi a lot of headaches. Lord Qi said that if you can complete this task successfully, he will promote you and increase your monthly salary."
"A raise in monthly salary is fine, but a promotion is unnecessary. A promotion would mean even heavier responsibilities, and I don't want to work myself to death at such a young age."
Gao Shuying looked helpless, but quickly sighed resignedly.
What other choice did she have but to obey?
If we actually catch these two people, the sense of accomplishment will be incomparable to anything we've experienced before.
She crossed her arms, looked at the man, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
"Wei Chi, since you like me, why don't you help me catch these two people? There's strength in numbers, and we can finish this quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications."
"Who said I like you?" Wei Chi's tone remained flat, cool, and somewhat low.
“When you were thirteen, you confessed your feelings to me when I was eleven.” Gao Shuying raised an eyebrow.
“You were ignorant when you were young, so don’t take it to heart. After you work in the prefect’s office for another two years and save enough money, resign from this position and live a peaceful life. Don’t get involved in these things anymore.”
"You're afraid something might happen to me. You're a detention officer, and you're afraid that you might die accidentally one day, leaving me to live a life of widowhood. That's why you're so cold to me."
"I initially joined the prefectural government office to follow you, but who knew you would treat me like this?" Gao Shuying said in a questioning tone, but with a hint of grievance.
“If you keep acting like this, I’ll have my parents arrange a marriage for me, just to prove it to you.” Wei Chi frowned.
"Say it now, say it now, go back and get married now, I'll prepare a generous gift for you." Gao Shuying snorted.
He's 25 and still not married, and he's still being stubborn.
“You—” Wei Chi stared at her with his eyes wide open, his face unmoving for a moment.
The two remained locked in a stalemate.
Three horse neighs came from downstairs.
Gao Shuying listened carefully and confirmed that she was not mistaken.
"Chenglong, my Chenglong is here! Does it mean it's coming back to me? Or did that little girl mistreat it?"
She hurriedly got up, folding the two portraits neatly and putting them in her arms.
"Even horses know how to be friendly, which is better than some people."
Wei Chi: "—"
