Jian Ci looked at the line of words on the screen, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.
Qin Shizheng: I took the herbal remedies and the medicinal bath on schedule last night. I didn't forget.
Jian Ci found it really funny to see him sending her messages on time every day as if he was reporting on his work.
But I still sent a reply quickly.
【c: Read.】
A few seconds later, another message appeared.
Qin Shizheng: I'll be back the day after tomorrow. You said you'd treat me to a meal.
Jian Ci took a look and raised the end of her eyebrows slightly.
Did she say that?
But since he's so well behaved, it's not a problem to treat him to a meal.
【C: Okay, call me when the time comes.】
Qin Shizheng: Okay.
…
After the brief conversation ended, Zhou Huaixing beside him asked, "You're laughing so happily, are you sending a message to Master Wu?"
Jian Ci came back to her senses and nodded, "Yeah."
Zhou Huaixing smiled and said with emotion: "I never thought you were actually engaged to this gentleman."
Not long after he was transferred back, he heard heated discussions about the wedding in the circle.
At that time, he was still wondering how brave he was to ask Master Qin Wu to agree to this marriage.
Later, when I looked at it in the police station, it turned out to be this little ancestor!
Suddenly, I felt as if everything made sense again.
After all, this person is not a vegetarian.
"I heard that your engagement was quite lively." Zhou Huaixing then joked.
After being reminded by him, Jian Ci also laughed playfully, "It just so happened that we were in need of a groom, who knew he would bump into us."
"Maybe this is fate." Zhou Huaixing thought of the time when Qin Shizheng personally came to the police station to rescue someone, and said, "I think he cares about you very much. From now on, you will have a strong backer here."
This made Jian Ci, who was sitting next to her, raise her eyebrows and ask, "Do I look so weak that I need to find a backer?"
"Of course not." Zhou Huaixing was afraid that Jian Ci would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: "You don't know, in Jingdu, ability alone is not enough, you also need a very deep background, and Fifth Master happens to have it. This way, you will live more comfortably."
Jian Ci looked out the window, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a somewhat secretive expression, "My background...is not bad..."
But Zhou Huaixing didn't notice, and just smiled as a matter of course: "The status of the eldest daughter of the Jian family is indeed not bad, but compared to the fiancée of Master Qin Wu, she is not so good."
Seeing Zhou Huaixing's confidence in Qin Shizheng, Jian Ci suddenly became interested. "Is Qin Shizheng really that powerful?"
She has been busy with various things since she got engaged and has no time to investigate Qin Shizheng in detail.
Just a rough idea of him.
She was very happy that someone was willing to give her some scientific knowledge to kill the boring time on the road.
Zhou Huaixing was certainly certain of this, "Of course, the name Qin Wuye wasn't given for nothing."
Jian Ci was a little surprised. "Call him Master, isn't it because he's the older one in the Qin family based on seniority?"
Zhou Huaixing burst out laughing upon hearing this. "You're not wrong. He's of a higher generation, but he's also very capable. 'Ye' is both a designation of generation and a respectful title."
Jian Ci asked curiously, "How strong is it?"
Zhou Huaixing opened up his conversation with her while driving, "Let me tell you this, the Qin family was originally the lowest of the four major families, but after the Fifth Master came to power, within two years they became the number one family, unmatched in their prestige. But later..."
Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh for Qin Shizheng.
Jian Ci propped her chin up with her hand, looking as if she was listening to a story. "What happened next?"
Zhou Huaixing then continued, "Later, he had an accident and injured his leg, and the entire Qin family almost fell apart. But fortunately, he woke up in time and suppressed the situation. However, the Qin family eventually declined significantly, and he immediately stepped down from his position as head of the family."
Jian Ci frowned and asked subconsciously: "Is his leg really an accident?"
Zhou Huaixing shook his head. "I don't know. There are indeed many conspiracy theories circulating in the circle, but I think it must be an accident. After all, if it could be found out, with Fifth Master's ability, he would have found it long ago and would never let the other party live."
Jian Ci did not respond to this.
After all, sometimes finding out something doesn’t mean you have to take action immediately.
If Qin Shizheng is really as powerful as Zhou Huaixing said, then his mind must be unfathomable.
I'm afraid he has other plans here.
But it has nothing to do with her.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Jian Ci found an excuse that she was sleepy and half-lay back in the chair, closing her eyes to rest.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard Zhou Huaixing say, "We're here."
Jian Ci, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately opened her eyes and looked outside with a clear expression.
There was nothing but an abandoned warehouse and a bare area around.
She opened the car door and got out.
"Where are the people?"
Zhou Huaixing pointed to the warehouse door and said, "The people are locked up in this underground warehouse."
Jian Ci's eyebrows darkened slightly, "You detained him without permission?"
Zhou Huaixing stepped on the ground and said, "No, this is a special detention room for special prisoners."
As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the warehouse door.
Jian Ci glanced at the ground beneath her feet before following.
After walking up several long stairs, the two men soon arrived at the underground warehouse.
An iron door sealed off the entire warehouse.
Zhou Huaixing used his fingerprint to open the iron gate. After walking a distance, he saw a guard standing there.
"Director Zhou."
Zhou Huaixing nodded and said, "Open the door."
The guard was about to nod, but when he saw the person behind him, his expression immediately turned serious. "Who is this?"
"Colleague," Zhou Huaixing said, then handed over a pass and asked, "Did that person speak?"
The guard relaxed his expression after seeing the pass and said, "He's stubborn and doesn't know anything. I can't pry him open no matter what I do."
Zhou Huaixing frowned, "Didn't you use any special methods?"
The guard looked around and lowered his voice, "Yes, it was used, but it can't be too obvious, otherwise it will become torture."
Zhou Huaixing nodded and ordered, "Open the door. I will conduct the interrogation myself today."
When the guard heard this, he immediately opened the door and let the two of them in.
There was no light in the dark and damp dungeon.
The cramped and strange smell makes people feel nauseous.
All that could be heard along the way was the "thump-thump-thump" sound of their footsteps.
After walking around a few times, Zhou Huaixing stopped at the door of one of the rooms.
He pointed and said, "This is Yu Lao San's room. You'd better hurry up."
Jian Ci nodded, "I know."
Then he unlocked the iron door and walked straight in.
