Chapter 40 Not Idle



"What's wrong?" The three words the girl uttered softly were like a basin of cold water poured on Chu Yu's head.

"No...it's okay." Chu Yu suddenly woke up, and his hand, which was hanging in the air, finally fell on Nie Huan's shoulder.

"Sister Huan, no matter what you do, I will support you."

The boy stood under the street light, his eyes clear, reflecting the girl's outline clearly.

Nie Huan's heart trembled, he was slightly stunned, and didn't speak for a long time.

Nie Yu, who was sandwiched between the two of them, raised his head, looked at Chu Yu, and then at Nie Huan, not daring to speak or move.

"It's quite late. You go home first. I'll take Nie Yu to find a hotel to sleep in." Nie Huan looked down at the hand still on his shoulder.

Chu Yu blushed and quickly took it back.

"I'm not in a hurry. I know a hotel that's quite cheap. I'll take you there."

"No need." Nie Huan refused without thinking.

Chu Yu paused, his heart sinking.

Nie Yu gently tugged at the corner of Nie Huan's clothes and whispered, "Sister, brother will protect us."

Nie Yu was young, only eight years old, and Chu Yu blocked Nie's father for them, so Nie Yu had a great liking for him.

Chu Yu quickly followed up Nie Yu's words and said, "Yes, Sister Huan, I will protect you."

Because Nie Yu liked Chu Yu, Nie Huan had no choice but to nod.

Chu Yu grinned, took Nie Yu's hand, and the three of them walked side by side.

The street lights cast their shadows, sometimes long and sometimes short.

As soon as Shen Qing went to bed, he received a message from Xia Mang.

[Xia Mang: Honey, have you missed me during these days I was away?]

【Chen Qing: No.】

【Xia Mang: You are so heartless! 】

【Chen Qing: If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I’m very busy.】

Xia Mang, who was far away in Country M, was shocked. He must be busy playing games at this time.

[Xia Mang: There's an anonymous request, and the other party has named you. The target is the Gu family in Beijing, Jiang Yu's famous paintings.]

【Chen Qing: Boring, no answer.】

[Xia Mang: Don't you have a feud with the Gu family? This is a great opportunity to annoy them.]

[Xia Mang: Could it be that you've taken a fancy to Young Master Gu? And you can't bear to take action against him?]

When Shen Qing saw the latter message, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

[Chen Qing: No, whoever wants to take over the Tengu can do so. I'm leaving.]

Shen Qing turned off his phone, took a shower and lay directly on the bed.

The computer on the bedside suddenly lit up and a dialog box popped up.

Shen Qing didn't even read it, just deleted the message and went to sleep.

The next day, Shen Qing was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

"What?" The girl's voice was full of impatience.

Lan Xinqiao was stunned on the other end of the phone and looked at the clock. It was half past eight, so it shouldn't be too early.

"Miss Chen, it's me, Lan Xinqiao." Lan Xinqiao spoke cautiously.

"Um."

"It's still the D90 case from last time. We found out that D90 was smuggled in from Country M." Lan Xinqiao heard that Shen Qing's tone was still a little impatient, so she quickly got to the point.

Shen Qing didn't say anything. Lan Xinqiao knew she was listening, so she continued respectfully, "Two days ago, an ocean-going freighter was sealed at the port of Y City. A large amount of drugs and a box of D90 were found inside. This alarmed the higher-ups."

Shen Qing rubbed his temples and spoke slowly after a long time, "Let me check Country M?"

Lan Xinqiao smiled and said, "Miss Shen is smart and clever!"

Country M has the largest territory and ranks first in the world in terms of both economy and military power. However, the country is also very chaotic. Even a big family like the Lan family has to be careful when walking in Country M.

"Okay, I'll ask a friend for you." Shen Qing was mostly awake by now, and his tone was much better.

Lan Xinqiao was delighted. "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

She didn't doubt the abilities of Shen Qing's friends at all!

Shen Qing hummed softly and hung up the phone first.

After a quick wash, I heard the doorbell ring outside.

Who would come to see her at this time?

Shen Qing walked barefoot slowly to the door and looked outside through the peephole.

The man in casual clothes stood straight with a faint smile on his handsome face. He looked down from time to time, as if he was holding something.

Shen Qing opened the door, leaned against the door frame, and said lazily, "So free?"

She glanced at the breakfast in the man's hand. He was so free, why did he bring her breakfast?

Gu Ting looked at her deeply. The girl was wearing pajamas, which were loose and had a low neckline, revealing her snow-white and delicate collarbone.

He was stunned for two seconds, his eyes immediately looked away, and his voice was deliberately lowered, "Not idle."
