Chapter 469: Life-saving Grace



Lan Zheng could feel that Susu had a good impression of him and was very interested in him.

"You spent hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring someone from the XX Detective Agency to help you investigate and find me. Since I'm here tonight to look for you, go get your deposit back. It's hundreds of thousands, a lot. Don't let it go to waste."

"I'm going to come back to you, okay?"

Xu Susu: “…”

She just wanted him to get his deposit back, cancel the order, and preserve the reputation of her investigation agency.

I don't want those hundreds of thousands.

"Master Lan, helping you is really a piece of cake. I don't ask for anything in return. A few hundred thousand is too much."

Lan Zheng didn't even turn his head this time. He said in a deep voice, "Forget it then. XX Detective Agency accepted my case, took my deposit, and helped me investigate for such a long time. I don't want the deposit anymore. This is just a reward for their time."

Xu Susu was silent.

When her detective agency accepts an order, although it will collect a deposit, there is also an agreement that if the task cannot be completed, the deposit will be returned to the employer.

The deposit will not be refunded, which means the agreement remains valid and they will continue to help the employer investigate.

"Since Young Master Lan insists, I will respectfully obey your orders and accept the deposit."

Lan Zheng washed the dishes, came out of the kitchen and stood in front of Xu Susu.

The two people were in close contact, and Lan Zheng smelled a very light scent from her. He was glad that he had a dog's nose, otherwise he would not be able to smell it.

This light fragrance is somewhat familiar.

Thinking of how his sister always suspected in front of him that Xu Susu was the masked girl, and that he had also seen Xu Susu, he really couldn't connect the gentle Xu Susu with the cheerful masked girl in front of him.

The only fragrance he had ever smelled from a woman, besides his mother and sister, was Xu Susu.

Yang Xi doesn't use perfume, so she has no scent.

Unless she happened to have washed her hair and could smell the scent of shampoo.

Although Yang Xi knew some kung fu, in Lan Zheng's eyes it was just fancy moves, so he excluded Yang Xi from the beginning.

Then it can only be Xu Susu.

Lan Zheng complained in his heart: His sister guessed it right!

He has an active mind and thinks a lot, worthy of being a storyteller.

"Give me an account number, and I'll have someone go to XX Detective Agency to cancel the order, get the deposit back, and then transfer the money to your account."

Xu Susu smiled and said, "I prefer cash. It looks luxurious!"

Lan Zheng couldn't help but smile, "Okay, then I'll prepare the cash. Do you want to come and get it, or should I deliver it to you?"

"I'll give you an address when the time comes. You send the money there, and I'll be waiting there to collect it."

Wangcheng is his territory. If she comes here too often, it will be easy for him to find loopholes.

Although she has a home in City A, it cannot be said to be her territory. There are also the Jun family, Ouyang family and other families spreading their influence. Those two families will help Lan Zheng, so it is not very safe for her, but it is still much safer than Wangcheng.

She just gave him an address and asked him to send the money there, and then she would find a way to get rid of him.

This is not the first time Susu has helped others.

But this is the first time I've helped someone and gotten into trouble.

"OK."

Lan Zheng agreed readily.

Xu Susu breathed a sigh of relief, finally maintaining the reputation of her detective agency.

"Thank you for saving my life last time!"

Lan Zheng formally thanked Xu Susu.

"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone the grace of saving my life. If you encounter any difficulties in the future and need my help, just let me know."

Lan Zheng made a promise.

Su Su smiled and said, "I told you, it's just a piece of cake for me."

"Anyway, you saved me."

"Actually, you wouldn't necessarily lose even if I didn't take action. You think I'm your savior and that's overestimating me. I can accept that."

She couldn't bear the high honor of being called her savior, and was afraid that he would marry her.

"You are the most skilled woman I have ever seen."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Lan. It's late, I have to go back. Thank you for the noodles, they are delicious."

Susu was about to say goodbye. She was afraid that Lan Zheng would ask her to be his bodyguard if they continued talking.

His words were full of admiration for her excellent skills.

"I send you."

Lan Zheng said this as he walked towards the window.

He thought Susu came in through the window.

When he walked to the window and turned around, he saw that Susu had already opened the door and gone out.

Lan Zheng: ...

She actually came in through the door!

Such audacity, such blatantness, provoking his Lan family's security system!

He really, really, really admires this woman!

Xu Susu came out of Lan Zheng's room, quickly and easily sneaked into another guest room, and slipped out of the window of the room to avoid Lan Zheng's night bodyguard.

The master who taught her Kung Fu was, well, a really great thief! The kind of thief who could steal from the richest people in the world without getting caught!

No one can match his ability to climb walls and run on rooftops.

She didn't want to follow in her master's footsteps and become a thief, after all, a thief is still a thief, so she chose to be a detective. She also liked to use the resources in her hands to understand the current situation and know many secrets that others didn't know.

Lan Zheng moved quickly and rushed back through the window. Unfortunately, when he slipped out of the room, Xu Susu was no longer there.

He was extremely regretful!

I was really startled by her insolence, and she slipped away in the moment I was stunned.

Lan Zheng returned to the room with regret, walked to the window and knocked on it.

After taking a few steps back, a bodyguard in black soon jumped in from the open window.

"Young Master."
