While waiting for the takeaway, Wen Qi gave them a brief introduction, and the two children's attention was instantly attracted to Xiao Jiu.

"You can really talk!" Shi Minghuai was amazed. "What else can you do? Can you transform? Can you turn into me?"

Ning Zhong was also asking: "Xiaojiu, can you sing? Can you dance?"

Xiaojiu's head hurt from their noise. His sharp nails popped out from his pads and he threatened sinisterly, "I will kill people!"

Shi Minghuai and Ning Zhong fell silent, then exclaimed at the same time, "Wow! So cool!"

Liu Ran couldn't help laughing out loud, "Where did you get this funny guy? He's so funny."

Wen Qi had a headache. Fortunately, Ming Jun, who had a high IQ, was there. Otherwise, these two people couldn't think of each other. How could she let them go on the mission without any worries?

"Xiaojiu, what kind of cat are you?" Ning Zhong said seriously, "I'll get one when I get home, an orange one. When it grows up and has long fur, it'll be like a little lion! Just thinking about it makes me feel majestic!"

Xiaojiu rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Shi Minghuai took out his phone and took a picture of Xiaojiu. Soon, the AI's voice sounded, "Maine Coon cat, large in size, with thick fur..."

Ning Zhong suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a Maine Coon cat!"

Xiaojiu shouted at the two of them fiercely, turned around and ran into the office.

Wen Qi laughed out loud. These two were amazing! They were actually rejected by the cat! More than half an hour later, Waimai and Mingren arrived one after another.

Wen Qi gave a brief introduction to both parties.

Shi Minghuai and Ning Zhong are in trouble again. Paper puppetry, it sounds so cool! Wen Qi couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Mingren actually enjoyed this kind of worship, especially after he released the little paper man and poured a glass of juice for each of them.

Shi Minghuai was going crazy, "Oh my God! I want to learn!" If he knew this trick, next time he felt lonely, he could release a paper man to accompany him! Mingren shook his head, "You have to learn from a master since you were young. You are too old."

Shi Minghuai sighed regretfully, "Indeed, I have already graduated from university."

With these words, the entire table fell silent, and everyone looked at him in shock.

Shi Minghuai was also startled, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me? Are there bugs crawling on me?"

Wen Qi spoke as a representative, "How old are you? Did you skip a grade and go to college?"

Shi Minghuai took out his ID card to confirm it, then said, "I'm 24, what's wrong? Is there an age limit for recruiting interns? I shouldn't be over the age limit, I just graduated for a year!"

Wen Qi shook his head, still with disbelief in his eyes, "No, there is no limit, but you don't look like you are twenty-four, at most eighteen."

Shi Minghuai suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sister Qi, you..."

"Don't!" Wen Qi quickly raised her hand to stop her, "I can't bear to be called sister. I'm only a junior!"

Shi Minghuai: ...

Others opened their own firm in their junior year, but he has been out of college for a year and is still doing nothing all day. People are really not comparable.

Wen Qi remembered something else and @Mingzhun in the group, asking: Are you an adult?

Mingzhun had already boarded the plane, but he still replied carefully: I am an adult. I am a freshman this year, but I have already applied for a part-time work-study program, so I only need to go back for the final exam.

Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was only one exception.

Shi Minghuai also saw the news and turned to look at Ning Zhong, "You..."

Ning Zhong sat up straight immediately, "I will become an adult after my birthday at the end of the year!"

Shi Minghuai's eyes widened in shock, "You're only seventeen? I thought we were about the same age!"

Ning Zhong immediately showed a hurt expression, covered his chest and said: "Do I look that old?"

Shi Minghuai shook his head, "It has nothing to do with your appearance, you look big overall!" After saying that, he reacted, his mouth drooped, and said, "How can I be old at the age of 24? I am in the prime of my life! I am young and strong!"

Ning Zhong blinked, "But I was just born when you were in elementary school."

Shi Minghuai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It was so heartbreaking!

Liu Ran and Wen Qi were so amused watching the two elementary school kids quarreling. Even Xiao Jiu looked at them with disdain. On the contrary, Mingren, who loved to join in the fun, half-closed his eyes and had a blank expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Chen Yu is out." Mingren said, "Let me see where he is going."

Wen Qi then remembered to ask: "Aren't you too tired to monitor 24 hours a day?"

Mingren shook his head, "The little paper figurine doesn't consume much soul power." After a pause, he changed the subject again, "This Chen Yu is very strange. He has been at home these past few days. Except for going out to buy groceries and take out the trash, he never goes out."

Mingren frowned. "How come he is a grown man and doesn't have any social activities? Even if he is waiting for investigation, he should have normal social interactions. If I didn't know that he worked at the Tianshi Association, I would have thought he was a loner who was out of touch with society."

Wen Qi commented pointedly: "Social relations are weak."

"Yes! That's the feeling!" Mingren continued, "It feels like he has no special connection with this world and can leave at any time."

Shi Minghuai and Ning Zhong didn't know when they stopped their elementary school quarrel and listened to them carefully. Hearing this, they both subconsciously said, "How dangerous."

Wen Qi looked over in confusion, "What danger?"

"It's the Chen Yu you mentioned." Shi Minghuai said seriously, "This kind of person is very dangerous, both internally and externally."

Ning Zhong also nodded repeatedly, "It's like a time bomb."

Wen Qi frowned and thought, internally and externally? Does it refer to Chen Yu himself and outsiders?

"He must have a serious mental illness!" Shi Minghuai said firmly.

Mingren nodded in agreement, then laughed, "Is this the intuition of small animals?"

"Ah?" Shi Minghuai was stunned. "I'm not an animal."

Wen Qi and Liu Ran couldn't help but nod. Shi Minghuai and Ning Zhong were both quite naive, but they were extremely sensitive to danger, just like an animal's instinctive prediction of danger.

This kind of talent is rare and may save lives at critical moments.

After eating and drinking, Wen Qi was too lazy to move, so he handed the task of picking up Ming Zhun to the two children... no, one big and one small. He stayed in the pavilion, enjoying the cool while calling the landlord.

Mingren also left. If the distance was too far, he would consume a lot of energy to control the paper man, and it would not be so smooth. Therefore, he rented a house near Chen Yu's house on the day he received the task.

It was an old, dilapidated, and very uncomfortable place to live in. But for the sake of the mission, he could endure any environment.

After hanging up the phone again, Wen Qi sighed with a heavy heart, "Why is it so hard to find a house?"

Liu Ran was almost asleep. Hearing this, he asked dazedly, "Why doesn't it work this time?"

"The landlord doesn't allow us to cook!" Wen Qi said in a very outrageous tone: "Why would you rent a house if you are not allowed to cook?"

Liu Ran couldn't help laughing, "What the hell."

Wen Qi rolled his eyes. "You said that the house has just been renovated and cooking will ruin the decoration. I am speechless. Why rent it out if you are so reluctant to part with it? You can just keep it for yourself."

Liu Ran was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "How about using the apartment I'm renting now as a dormitory for them? The landlord is a nice guy, and he's not in China. There's not much trouble, and it's suitable for long-term rental."

"Then what are you going to do?" Wen Qi frowned and said, "Moving here and there is too much trouble, so forget it. If it doesn't work out, I'll just buy a house in the neighborhood next door. Renting a house is just a pure loss of money."

Liu Ran said, "Who is this rich and powerful person trying to provoke?"

Wen Qi pushed her in annoyance, "It's not like you can't afford it."

Liu Ran didn't comment, and said jokingly: "Instead of buying a house, it's better to invest the money in myself. Maybe I can even get rich."

Wen Qi said "Oh", "Mingren seems to be quite rich. When he was a freelance Taoist priest, he could earn tens of millions for every order he took..."

Liu Ran pretended to fight.

Wen Qi smiled and dodged, continuing: "He is the inheritor of the paper puppet technique, so his family must be wealthy!"

Liu Ran laughed angrily, pointed at her and said, "Stop trying to match me up with other people. I don't have any plans to fall in love in the next few years."

Wen Qi curled her lips, "Not for a scumbag."

Liu Ran nodded, "I know. Maybe I invested too much before, and I feel like I've been drained. I need time to recover."

Now that things have come to this, Wen Qi naturally couldn't say anything more. He could only sigh in his heart, "Comrade Mingren, you have a long way to go."
