"The reason the Leng family was able to withdraw unscathed from the international arena is because of the protection of the International Security Bureau. If the International Security Bureau hadn't existed, would the Leng family still be so peaceful? Would their enemies have come knocking on their door?"
"If the International Security Bureau knew the Leng family was like this, what do you think Di Ciwen would do?"
Qi Jiu was merely stating the facts when the two elders opposite her stared wide-eyed at her.
They were very familiar with the name 'Die Trisman'.
If Qi Jiu was putting on airs or simply trying to prove herself before, what about now? The name of the current director of the International Security Bureau is not something just any rich young lady would know.
Both of them tensed up at the same time, their previous arrogance vanished, and they both looked at her cautiously.
Although Qi Jiu's words were lighthearted, in their eyes, it was no joke at all.
Who exactly are you?
The man in the black Tang suit frowned deeply, his scanning gaze seeming to want to see right through Qi Jiu.
Could a mere adopted daughter of the Shen family wield such power? Clearly not.
Was she joking? Probably not. Only a few people knew that Leng Ruo had joined the assassin organization. How could someone who had never been to the Leng family know?
And there's Dickens...
Unless... unless what she said is true.
"Guess, of course, there's no prize if you guess right."
Leng Tianxiao: "..." You have a sense of humor.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and Qi Jiu left without looking back.
Sometimes, not explaining things in detail can be more agonizing, just like now. Their own internal thoughts are driving them to the brink of collapse.
Leng Tianxiao watched her actions and, without any hesitation, chased after her.
He understood that Qi Jiu wasn't lying; she had the ability. Compared to the entire Leng family, offending these two elders was simply a matter of life and death.
As they arrived at the entrance, the two guards who had been there earlier looked at Qi Jiu and were about to approach her to say something when they saw their young master chasing after them.
The foot that had just stepped out was pulled back.
Guard: "..." That was too hasty.
"No need to see me off, I know the way back."
"Miss Qi, I apologize for what happened earlier. The Leng family was in a bit of a mess."
Leng Tianxiao was now somewhat anxious to explain, fearing that the two elders from earlier would drag the Leng family into trouble.
The girl nodded, her face showing no anger at the matter. She looked at Leng Tianxiao's conflicted expression and smiled.
"Do you need any help? If the Leng family continues like this, I'm afraid they won't go far."
By then, even without the International Security Bureau getting rid of them, they will already be unable to continue.
She now understood why Leng Ruo was naturally averse to socializing. Not only was the Leng family remote, but her elders were also like that; it would be strange if she enjoyed being around people.
Leng Tianxiao was taken aback, and the smile on his face turned somewhat bitter.
"The Leng family's problems have been going on for a long time. In fact, they started right after they withdrew from the international arena, but as time has gone by, the problems have become more serious. Now it's going to be quite difficult to deal with."
At this point, he suddenly seemed to remember something, looked up at Qi Jiu, and his eyes were filled with pleading.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Qi, but the Leng family cannot rely on help alone. If possible, I hope you can help me settle Ruoruo when the Leng family is in trouble."
Qi Jiu nodded. "Okay."
The heir is ultimately different, and what he said made no mistake.
After leaving the Leng family, the girl took out her phone, intending to open Talin's messages, but in the end she opened Li Hao's instead.
Tell Ruoruo that they've already visited the Leng family, so there's no need to worry.
Qi Jiu's life seemed to have returned to normal, with her going to and from school every day.
As a pharmacy student, Qi Jiu's life is much more fulfilling than that of students in other majors. She has many more classes every day, and when she stays in the laboratory after class, she has very little free time.
She's probably the busiest college student around.
If you deduct the time spent meeting with Qi Silin, there really isn't much time left.
As time goes by, the weather gradually turns cooler.
When Qi Jiu returned to the Shen family, she was wearing a coat and looked at the figure in the living room with a smile on her lips.
"Qiqi!"
The first person to spot her was Shen Sisi. The second year of high school was quite demanding, and it was difficult to see Shen Sisi when she came back before.
"Sister Qiqi".
The girl glanced at Lu Zhe, who seemed a little reserved beside her, and then at Shen Cimo, who was pretending to look at his phone on the sofa. She couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Is this another round of sanctions?
"Um."
Boys going through puberty undergo significant changes.
I remember the last time I saw Lu Zhe, he was just a boy, still very young. Now it's obvious that Lu Zhe has matured a lot since then.
His face has lost a lot of its baby fat. You can also tell from his height that he's already a big boy.
"Qiqi, let me tell you, I got Wanzhou's autographed photo! I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect to actually get it, and he even talked to me a lot!"
The graceful young girl in front of me was jumping around happily with an autographed photo in her arms, while the boy next to her seemed a little displeased.
"Wanzhou..."
Qi Jiu murmured softly.
Since Wan Zhou's last single release and several interviews, they haven't seemed to have seen each other.
Ultimately, it's because she's too busy.
Thinking about it, she took out her phone and tapped on Wanzhou's profile picture.
"Thank you for taking such good care of my sister."
A message was sent, and the other party replied instantly. "It was nothing, nothing to mention."
With a "click," the door suddenly opened.
Qi Jiu subconsciously turned around and saw that Shen Cisheng, who was usually carefree, was now wearing a suit and had a worried look on his face. At the same time, she could also see some fatigue on his face.
"Ah Sheng?"
Wasn't this guy interning at Shen's company? Why does he look like that now? Did someone bully him?
Shen Cisheng looked up at Qi Jiu, his smile somewhat forced, "Qi Qi is back."
Then they saw Shen Cimo take off his coat and walk towards his room without saying a word.
His unusual behavior wasn't just noticed by Qi Jiu; everyone in the living room saw it.
Seeing him like this, the girl turned her head to look at Shen Cimo on the sofa.
Shen Cimo's expression wasn't very good either, as if he had thought of something, and he didn't even notice that his phone screen was black.
"MoMo".
Shen Cimo looked up at Qi Jiu, his dark eyes filled with complex emotions.
Without saying a word, the girl seemed to realize that something was amiss, and smiled slightly, as if to offer comfort.
