"I'm back."
The masked woman spoke as if his wife was waiting for his return.
Lan Zheng walked over and took off his suit jacket.
"Yeah, I'm back. You came really early this time."
Susu smiled and said, "It's quite early."
Because her sister was on a business trip and would not be home tonight, she acted recklessly and hurried to Wangcheng to find Lan Zheng.
"You didn't have dinner?"
Lan Zheng hung up his coat, walked over, and took the box of cookies from her. "These are not nutritious. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"You know it's not easy for me to come here. I have to race against time and have no time to eat. I searched around your room and only found this box of cookies. It's still open."
"That was my sister's food, she forgot to take it away."
Su Su said, "Last time I came, you treated me to a bowl of noodle soup. I thought it tasted quite good, and I kind of miss it. Please give me another bowl of noodle soup as well."
"good."
Lan Rui put down the box of biscuits and reminded Susu: "Don't eat any more. It will make you get angry. I'll make you some noodles."
"I'm not afraid of getting angry."
Susu ate the cookies again.
I thought Qingqing was a good eater and these cookies were delicious.
Lan Zheng let her do as she pleased.
He went to make noodles for her.
As for the bodyguards on duty in the big tree outside the window, after knowing that the masked girl had sneaked into the young master's room again quietly, they all wanted to die to atone for their sins.
This masked girl is just like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
They really had no idea how she sneaked into the young master's room.
Even with the high security system in Blue Manor, the arrival of the masked girl was not detected.
Fortunately, it wasn’t an assassin, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.
After a while.
Lan Zheng placed a bowl of noodles with shredded pork, eggs and chopped green onions in front of Susu.
Susu put down the unfinished box of biscuits, took the chopsticks handed to her by Lan Zheng, and started eating the noodles without hesitation.
Lan Zheng sat next to her and watched her eat.
Seeing her eating so happily, there was actually a hint of pampering in his eyes, but he didn't know it.
"What do you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you in my room. When you come, you can find it yourself. If you always eat noodles, you will blame me for not treating you well."
Lan Zheng's voice was low, but the bodyguards on duty could hear a hint of tenderness hidden in the young master's words.
"Young Master Lan cooked these noodles himself. Not to mention that they're really delicious, the fact that he cooked them himself shows how well he treats an unexpected guest like me. Don't worry, I won't say you're inhospitable."
Xu Susu eats quickly but elegantly.
Lan Zheng thought the way she ate was very pretty.
Just watching her eat made him feel hungry.
"My benefactor, you came here tonight, so you didn't miss me, did you?"
Susu took a napkin and wiped her mouth.
Lan Zheng's gaze fell on her red lips as she wiped them. After a slight pause, Lan Zheng looked away.
Susu's butterfly mask covered her face, but her nose and mouth were still exposed.
Her lips are naturally rosy and don't need any rouge.
"Young Master Lan and I are just casual acquaintances, so of course there's no longing to express. Young Master Lan is a smart man, and I don't like beating around the bush. Let's be frank and not mince words. Young Master Lan, you know that I'm the boss behind the XX Detective Agency in City A, right?"
Lan Zheng shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know, is it you?"
"I don't even know my benefactor's name, so how could I know he's the boss behind the XX Detective Agency? But now I know, and it just so happens that I'd like to ask the XX Detective Agency for a favor. I've already placed an order and paid a deposit."
"I helped increase the benefactor's orders without knowing it."
Xu Susu: “…”
This cunning fox clearly suspected her, forcing her to come to him and confess to him that she was the boss behind the XX Detective Agency, and she had to pretend to be innocent and unaware.
Xu Susu didn't know how much Lan Zheng knew, so she probably couldn't be sure that she was the second daughter of the Xu family, right?
No matter what, since he had no evidence to prove that she was Xu Susu, she continued to deal with him wearing a mask.
Even if her mask was taken off, Susu was not worried.
She didn't want people to know that she was the second daughter of the Xu family, so she did more than just wear a mask. There was also a realistic human face underneath the mask.
Xu Susu held back her anger and said, "Young Master Lan, don't you think you're forcing others to do what they want?"
Lan Zheng looked as if he didn't realize he was forcing others to do something.
Xu Susu almost lost her composure and was about to take action.
This guy usually looks cold and doesn't allow women other than his relatives to get close to him. He treats women as perverts and guards against them. I didn't expect that he also has a shameless side.
Sure enough, anyone who can sit in the position of the young master of the Lan family is not simple and can bend and stretch.
"It's been over twenty years, and even someone like Young Master Lan can't gather any evidence. My territory is far away in City A, so I can't gather any evidence either. Besides, I really don't dare to compete with you, Young Master Lan. What you can't do, I can't do either."
Xu Susu pulled out a check from her tight clothes and handed it to Lan Zheng. "This is the deposit that Young Master Lan gave us. I'm returning it to you now. Please don't joke with us again."
"Our office is small, we only have three meals a day and a place to sleep, so we can't do anything big."
Lan Zheng did not take the check.
He looked at Xu Susu and said, "I didn't know that the XX Detective Agency was run by my benefactor, but now that I know, I must cooperate with him. He doesn't have to rush and can slowly gather evidence. Compared to me, he's inconspicuous and won't attract attention, so it's easier for him to act."
"If one month doesn't work, then a year. If one year doesn't work, then ten. I can afford to wait. I spent that much time collecting evidence myself, and the evidence I have now is very limited. I know how difficult this matter is, so I won't ask for a long time from you."
Xu Susu: ...
Why did she have the illusion that Lan Zheng was using this matter to keep her hanging and create a connection between them?
"If your firm has other urgent orders, you can handle them first. You can take your time to check this one. If you don't have enough money, tell me and I will transfer the money to your company account."
"Master Lan, this isn't a question of money, it's a question of ability. We really don't have the ability to help you. Master Lan, if you can truly consider me your benefactor, please don't force me and spare our firm."
Lan Zheng said seriously, "I consider you my benefactor. Only after I knew you were the one who opened the firm did I firmly cooperate with you. No one else can earn my money, Lan Zheng. Now that I'm offering it to you to earn my money, you shouldn't refuse."
