Gu Qingze leaned against the wall, still half-closing his eyes, and heard a familiar sound of footsteps again.
He originally thought that it was Chenluo who came back to find him after finishing her personal business, but he saw a strange figure.
Although the figure was very unfamiliar, the expression was too familiar. He didn't even need to think or guess, the answer came to his mind directly.
The person in front of me is Ling Xiao.
Gu Qingze couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his lips, opened his eyes, nodded to him, and then took him to a separate room as if he was familiar with the place.
He skillfully set up the soundproofing cover and the secret talisman, and used the dream beads to create a surface illusion before he began to speak.
"Ling Xiao, I thought it would be Brother Jinnian who would come this time."
When Chu Lingxiao heard this, the happiness he had felt because Qingze could recognize him at a glance disappeared instantly.
He curled his lips, slightly dissatisfied.
"Oh? From what Qingze said, you don't want me to come, or you are not satisfied with me coming? Or... both?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to Gu Qingze, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
"Of course not, I'm very happy that Ling Xiao is here."
Gu Qingze watched him approach without showing any fear. Instead, he took the initiative to move closer, put his arms around him, and explained slowly.
"I've been diligently carrying out the task Ling Xiao gave me last time. I spent three days collecting the backgrounds of all the ordinary courtesans in the brothel, and nothing unusual has come up."
"My friends in the brothel told me that it has branches, so I made a bold guess that the courtesans needed for the plans might be in one of them. That would make the plans more reasonable..."
Before Gu Qingze finished speaking, Chu Lingxiao asked in confusion.
"Your friend here? Does he look good?"
This isn't the point at all! Ling Xiao, you've missed the point!
Gu Qingze secretly complained in his heart, but did not change his expression. He recalled the face of Jinluo and answered truthfully.
“It’s pretty.”
"oh."
Chu Lingxiao responded, but he looked a little sour, as if he was even more unhappy.
After Gu Qingze noticed it, he felt a little helpless and added another sentence.
"But in my heart, Ling Xiao is the most beautiful."
"...Tsk, you're so smooth-talking and your flattering words are getting better and better."
Although Chu Lingxiao showed disgust on his face, he could still feel that his mood had improved a lot.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Look how nervous you are."
Chu Lingxiao waved his hand and said seriously.
"I understand what Qingze meant. You mean that since we can't find any clues at the Hualou headquarters, we should go look for them at the branch offices."
"But you can't get away now, so you can only ask me or Brother Jinnian for help..."
"Plus, Brother Jinnian has invested in this industry before. Even if he's not familiar with brothels, he should know more about them than I do. That's why you want Brother Jinnian to come, right?"
"Absolutely right! I knew Ling Xiao would understand what I meant."
Gu Qingze was surprised for a moment, praised him, and hugged him tighter.
"It's so hot, Qingze, please loosen your claws a little."
Chu Lingxiao said this as he felt the warmth of his body.
But despite saying that, Ling Xiao never took the initiative to separate and let him hold him. The words he just said were just like a plea for mercy and had no lethality.
"By the way, I was actually quite surprised to be able to meet Qingze this time. Originally, this was supposed to be Brother Jinnian's turn."
"But when I returned, Su Han and Brother Jinnian were nowhere to be found. I asked the housekeeper, but he didn't know where they had gone, what they had done, or when they would be back. He had no idea."
Chu Lingxiao seemed distressed. "If Su Han and Brother Jinnian can't come back in a short time, then I will have to go to those branches alone and explore them one by one."
Gu Qingze also began to worry, "Besides, Ling Xiao can only use the identity of a guest, which will make the investigation very inconvenient..."
"That's why I hope that this operation will be led by Brother Jinnian. With his status as an investor, it will be easier."
Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao distressedly, "In this situation, I can only... trouble you, Lingxiao."
Chu Lingxiao was dissatisfied with his expression and pinched his face gently. "Silly boy, why do you have such an expression? Even if it's just me, it's just a little troublesome at most, not a big problem."
He sat astride Gu Qingze's legs, slowly half-encircled him, held his face with both hands, and rubbed it hard.
"It's no problem. I'm not stupid. I can adapt to changing circumstances. Just wait for my good news."
Gu Qingze let him rub her face at will without even resisting. She was very well-behaved. She kept her eyes on Chu Lingxiao, and while he was stunned, she kissed his palm again.
Chu Lingxiao's ears turned red because of his action, and he pretended to be vicious and pounced on him.
He was just pretending and gave Gu Qingze a gentle push, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingze was really pushed down by him.
"Hey, is Qingze so weak and easy to push over?"
Although Chu Lingxiao was a little bit unbelievable, he still took the opportunity to tease him.
"I thought Ling Xiao wanted me to lie down, could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Gu Qingze raised his eyebrows and teased in return.
"I don't always want to do that kind of thing!"
Chu Lingxiao was stunned at first, then he reacted and quickly refuted, but it sounded like he was trying to cover up something, and his face became even redder.
"Well, it's all my fault. I'm attracted to Ling Xiao's beauty, so I can't help myself every time."
