Chapter 49 Chapter 49 The four people in the room were...
The four people in the room were handcuffed, with their heads down and expressions of regret on their faces, but Wen Qian felt as if something was wrong.
Why hasn't she received the notification sound that the mission is completed? The people have been arrested, so this mission should be over.
Wait—are there really only four of them?
Thinking of a possibility, Wen Qian walked forward quickly, half-knelt down and stared at the handcuffed leader.
"How many people are there in your gang?"
"Do you think I will tell you?" The leader turned his head away fiercely.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of a car engine starting outside. The area around the unfinished building was so desolate that the sound could be heard clearly by the people present.
Chu Lingyu's expression changed: "Someone ran away."
When the police heard the sound, they were about to chase after him, but were stopped by Wen Qian who was standing next to him.
"Don't worry." She looked a little strange. "It's too late to go now. Wait a few seconds."
Chu Lingyu felt that this sounded a little familiar. The last time Wen Qian said something similar, the police rushed in not long after.
Are the police coming again? But will they be too late to stop them?
"Bang--"
The loud noise attracted the attention of everyone present.
The sound was very similar to the sound made when a taxi driver rear-ended a criminal's car.
Wen Qian was not in a hurry and had no intention of chasing after her, precisely because she remembered this incident - the rear-end collision.
Well, so far, the taxi driver's cunning is quite effective.
The fish that had escaped the net no longer had any chance of escaping, because...
Mission 3 - Rescue the Victims (Completed)
Reward: Experience +150, Strength +2]
The successful Xiao Wen quietly put the bonus sent by the police into his pocket. After putting the bonus bag into the game backpack, it was automatically converted into gold coins.
Looking at the sudden change in the numbers, Wen Qian opened his eyes wide, and even his expression towards the criminals changed.
Gold +400
Oh my god, this is a walking treasure chest.
Game, please add more tasks that allow you to fight treasure chest monsters in the future!
Wen Qian, with a face full of joy, looked at the person who had brought her this wealth in a sense, and patted him happily.
"Chu Lingyu, you know you can hold your own against 20 fish!"
Seeing Wen Qian's excited expression, Chu Lingyu originally thought that she was so happy because the criminals were caught. Just as this guess came into being, he heard Wen Qian's words that followed.
He didn't understand, but didn't want to admit that he didn't understand what Wen Qian said. After a moment of silence, Chu Lingyu nodded: "...Is that so."
So, what are twenty fish?
He thought quickly, trying to understand Wen Qian's train of thought, but he couldn't figure out how what had just happened could be related to fish.
Until he walked out of the unfinished building, Chu Lingyu still couldn't figure out the problem that had been bothering him.
He looked at Wen Qian: "Did you bring your phone? I'll call someone to pick us up."
"No need to be so troublesome." Wen Qian said, and she waved directly towards the road.
Chu Lingyu was just about to say that this place was desolate, with few cars coming and it was difficult to get a taxi. Before he could open his mouth, he saw a red taxi speeding from the corner.
The target clearly stopped in front of Wen Qian.
...Where did this car come from?
"Hurry up and get in the car, otherwise you'll have to walk back." Wen Qian, who was walking towards the taxi, turned around and greeted.
After returning to the city, Chu Lingyu's mind was still echoing with what had just happened. The best outcome was that Wen Qian was not injured.
He turned sideways to glance at Wen Qian, and his tense heartstrings finally relaxed at this moment.
Wen Qian, who had no idea what Chu Lingyu was thinking, was concentrating on searching for a noodle shop on the street. After that activity just now, her physical strength was close to the critical line.
Recalling a certain scene, Chu Lingyu grabbed Wen Qian's arm.
"Is your hand hurt?"
He held Wen Qian's right hand, turned it over and carefully examined the position of her wrist.
When Wen Qian jumped down from the vent, he used his right hand to gain leverage. The iron sheet on the edge of the abandoned vent had been unattended for a long time and had already rusted and curled up.
It would be dangerous if you scratch your hand.
After a careful inspection, Chu Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no wound, and wiped off the dust on Wen Qian's palm.
After making this gesture subconsciously, he realized that his behavior was a bit offensive. He pursed his lips and looked a little unnatural.
"You..." Chu Lingyu hesitated and paused, "Why did you come to save me?"
"Hmm?" Wen Qian, who had already found his target, heard the question from the person next to him and looked sideways at him, "Because I saw you."
Chu Lingyu slightly bent the fingers that fell on his side, and did not continue to ask questions, accepting this answer that was not really an answer.
After careful selection, Wen Qian decided to have his lunch today at a noodle shop not far away.
After determining her target, she hurried forward, forgetting that Chu Lingyu was still holding her arm, causing her to stumble a few steps.
Wen Qian turned around and glanced at Chu Lingyu, who seemed to have not reacted much, and took his wrist with his backhand.
"It's time to eat. What are you standing there for?" After saying that, he took Chu Lingyu and ran towards the noodle shop.
When Wen Qian turned around, Chu Lingyu followed her gaze and saw that he had not yet let go of his hand. Secretly not wanting to let go, he paused and slowly loosened his fingers.
Then she held him.
Chu Lingyu was a little dazed, and was dragged into the noodle shop with his mind almost blank.
The owner of the noodle shop was very enthusiastic, and his loud voice called back Chu Lingyu's attention.
"Welcome, today's beef noodles are on sale, would you like a bowl?"
Chu Lingyu calmed down and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
When I looked at Wen Qian, I found that her expression seemed a little strange.
Seems... shocked?
Is there something wrong with this noodle shop? Chu Lingyu glanced at the surrounding environment vaguely, but didn't find anything unusual.
Wen Qian fell into a long silence, and she was finally impressed by the ingenuity of the game.
"Why you again!"
The noodle shop owner laughed and said, "I came to City A to study, so that I won't be too busy when the shop expands later."
"Customer, when do you think it would be a good time to expand the noodle shop?"
Xiao Wen: ...Enough with this lingering request for noodle shop expansion.
She automatically skipped over the previous conversation and said, "A bowl of beef noodles, thank you."
Chu Lingyu vaguely sensed that Wen Qian seemed to know the noodle shop owner, and continued her words: "I'm the same as her."
The steaming hot beef noodles were delicious as usual, and the fact that you didn't have to pay for them made them even more delicious.
"Chu Lingyu, you're such a nice person." Wen Qian said cheerfully, "You're the second person who's been so nice to me."
Chu Lingyu paused with his chopsticks and spoke subconsciously: "Then the first one is..."
After blurting out the words, he suddenly paused, as if nothing had happened, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Something that he couldn't figure out came to his mind at this moment.
"Wen Qian."
"Why did you block me?"
After adding her as a friend, Chu Lingyu was blacklisted that very night and was puzzled. He shouldn't have done anything to make her block him, right?
Wen Qian, who was concentrating on eating noodles, said: "Hmm?"
"Don't think too much about it. This kind of thing is very common." She thought for a moment and added, "Get used to it. You'll get used to it."
"Because from now on I will block some people from time to time every day."
Who will be blocked depends on the friend ranking value of that day.
————————
"By the way, how is the decoration of your house going?" Xia Zhiqing glanced at his friend with a cold face beside him, and suddenly remembered the question he asked him last time in the middle of the night, so he casually asked a question of concern.
Jiang Zhi frowned: "When did I say I wanted to renovate?"
Xia Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Didn't you ask me which masking tape won't leave marks on the tiles? If it's not for decoration, then why did you buy this?"
Jiang Zhi paused, expressionless: "Yeah."
Huh? What does this mean?
Do you mean you don't want to tell him? What's the point of hiding something like buying masking tape?
Unable to figure it out, Xia Zhiqing simply gave up thinking about it. He glanced at the time and said as he walked: "Come to think of it, why are you in such a hurry to go back? No one is waiting for you. Why don't you have a meal first?"
He really didn't understand why Jiang Zhi was so anxious. After saying this, he was about to ask for his opinion, but when he looked up, the person who was walking beside him just now was gone.
"Where are the people?" Xia Zhiqing looked as if he had seen a ghost.
For Jiang Zhi, it doesn't matter much when he goes home.
So, it’s okay to go back early.
I accidentally glanced at the surrounding shops, and behind the transparent glass windows, a vaguely familiar figure came into view.
Jiang Zhi stopped and frowned slightly. Is that person Wen Qian? Who is sitting opposite her?
Chu Lingyu.
Jiang Zhi had no expression on his face after seeing who that person was.
He glanced at his phone casually and it seemed like it was time to eat, so he stopped, turned around and walked into a noodle shop on the street.
This noodle shop is much larger than the one at the entrance of the community. Wen Qian, who was sitting inside the shop with his back to Jiang Zhi, did not notice the arrival of his neighbor.
Jiang Zhi casually ordered a bowl of beef noodles. He didn't pay much attention to the food. He just glanced at it casually when he heard the boss's voice.
Then he was stunned.
Isn’t this the noodle shop owner downstairs? When did he move his shop?
Or just someone who looks more similar?
Chu Lingyu was sitting facing the door of the noodle shop. When he heard the boss's welcome, he took a casual look and frowned after seeing who was coming.
Tsk, why is it this guy?
Wen Qian noticed Chu Lingyu's sudden frown and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just saw someone I disliked."
Wen Qian was a little interested in this and happened to hear a familiar voice, so he subconsciously wanted to look behind him.
"Let me see—"
Xiao Wen, who had just turned his head away, was held by the face and moved back.
"Don't look." Chu Lingyu paused, "Eat the noodles first, they're getting cold."
Xiao Wen, whose face was held in his hands and unable to speak, said: "Hmm?"
It's still hot, isn't it cold yet?
Jiang Zhi turned around with a bowl of noodles in his hand and saw this scene. He curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out a chair and sat down.
The chair legs scraped across the floor, making a moderate noise.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Lingyu, then dropped the bowl in his hand heavily on the table, and the noodle soup in the bowl swayed with his movement.
Chu Lingyu sneered inwardly. Was he displeased with him?
Who wouldn't think so?
