Chapter 269: Greed is insatiable, but it is better to be cautious than to be insecure



Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at the abrupt warning letter, and the smiles on their faces were instantly replaced by solemnity.

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the two people's slightly rapid breathing.

The scribbled words on the letter paper danced before their eyes like ghosts. "Greed is insatiable, but better safe than sorry." These words were like a needle, piercing their hearts that had just been filled with joy.

Shen Qiqi pursed her lips tightly, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

She felt her temples throbbing and an inexplicable feeling of irritability surged in her heart.

Who is behind this?

He actually used such a gloomy way to warn them. Is it jealousy that makes people unrecognizable?

She thought angrily, feeling as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

Lu Qing snatched the letter paper, his fingertips turned slightly white. He looked at the line of words over and over again, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

His eyes became deep, like a bottomless lake, without any emotion visible.

The room was eerily quiet; the only sound was their heartbeats, which beat like drums against their tense nerves.

"This is definitely not groundless." Lu Qing's voice was low and magnetic, breaking the suffocating silence. He looked up at Shen Qiqi, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to have an easy life!" There was a hint of coldness in his tone, like ice chips in the cold winter.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She looked around with a sharp gaze, as if she wanted to see through the room and see the conspiracy hidden behind it.

She rubbed her brows, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "Could it be our partners? They always look very honest. Could they all be good actors?" The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed. A feeling of suspicion spread in her heart, like a vine, entwining her and making her feel suffocated.

"Don't scare yourself first." Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi, gently held her hand, and conveyed strength with his warm palm.

"Since this person chose to warn us in this way, it means that he doesn't dare to confront us head-on. Don't panic, it's not a big problem." He patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder with a firm look in his eyes, as if to say, I'm here to support you even if the sky falls.

"The most important thing now is to find out who is behind this." Lu Qing

Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing, and the uneasiness in her heart slowly receded.

She knew that as long as she was with this man, there would be no obstacles that she couldn't overcome.

"Then what should we do now?" She looked at Lu Qing with a hint of doubt in her tone.

Lu Qing didn't answer. Instead, he walked to the desk, picked up the piece of paper with the warning on it, and lit it with a lighter. He watched the paper turn into ashes in the flames, his eyes revealing a heart-pounding chill. Then he turned to Shen Qiqi and said, "Hold still for now."

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, and the irritation aroused by the warning letter gradually dissipated.

She is not the kind of soft persimmon who would be scared by an anonymous letter. Do you want to cause trouble?

Humph, she wants to see who is playing tricks behind the scenes!

"Let's go meet our partners." Shen Qiqi's lips curled up into a confident smile, with a shrewd gleam in her eyes.

She grabbed Lu Qing's hand and walked out in a hurry.

Lu Qing looked at her decisiveness and felt a sense of admiration in his heart.

My wife is extraordinary. When encountering problems, she is so calm and decisive. Her aura is almost two meters high!

He held her hand tightly, expressing his support with his actions.

The two of them visited their partners one by one and briefly explained the matter of the letter.

As expected, everyone looked confused and said they knew nothing. Some even comforted Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing, patting their chests and promising that they would definitely stand on their side.

Shen Qiqi looked at their sincere eyes, and most of the doubts in her heart dissipated.

It seems that there is someone else behind this.

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the stone pressing on her heart was much lighter, and a relieved smile appeared on her face, like a blooming sunflower, warm and dazzling.

When Lu Qing saw her like this, he felt proud.

My wife is really capable. She stabilized the morale of the troops with just a few words.

He looked at Shen Qiqi with loving eyes, as if to say: My wife is the best!

Although the matter came to an end temporarily, Shen Qiqi did not let down her guard.

She was not frightened by the warning letter and did not change her plans like a headless fly. Instead, she chose to proceed steadily and conduct a small-scale inspection of possible risk points.

"We can't mess up our plan." Shen Qiqi stood in front of the map, pointing to several key locations, her eyes firm and confident, as if she was commanding thousands of troops.

"Just treat this letter as a piece of shit and let it go. The key still depends on us."

Lu Qing looked at her, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't this too risky?" He frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

After all, what was said in the letter did make sense. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Shen Qiqi glanced at him, her eyes seemed to say: Your man is not good enough!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." She patted her chest confidently, a meaningful smile on her lips, and her tone was full of confidence.

"Some people just like to play tricks. We can't fall for their tricks!"

Lu Qing looked at her, and the worry in his heart slowly dissipated.
