"It was the director of the International Security Bureau at the time who helped the Leng family out of their predicament. Later, the Leng family gradually faded out of this job and became a tool of the National Security Bureau."
Whatever the International Security Bureau says, our Leng family will do; we've stuck to that until now.
Even knowing he was no match for De Roy, he still wanted to give it a try.
With just a few simple sentences, Qi Jiu understood what was going on. Wasn't this a classic case of repaying a debt of gratitude?
Seeing Leng Ruona's expectant eyes, the girl gave a slight smile. "I have no connection with the National Security Bureau, I'm not one of them, but I do have some connections with the director."
Leng Ruo: "..."
Do you have some kind of relationship with them? If you only have some kind of relationship, would you really help them like this?
"I took action because Dero was sent to the Security Bureau, because of me."
Qi Jiu seemed to see the question in Leng Ruo's eyes. She didn't hide anything from her and explained why she had taken action in just two simple sentences, without revealing anything else.
"De, De Luo was first arrested, I heard it was in H continent. He was a murderer, and many organizations couldn't do anything about him at the time. Later I heard that it was the head of the security bureau who brought in his helper."
Leng Ruo was unusually agitated; she even started to stammer as she spoke, and her lips trembled slightly without her realizing it.
The way he looked at Qi Jiu was as if he had discovered a new continent.
"So, you're the accomplice?"
Qi Jiu looked at her and nodded. "It's getting late, you should go back now."
Before Leng Ruo could make any move, she turned and left.
By the time Leng Ruo realized what was happening, all she could see was the girl's blurry back, growing smaller and blurrier until she could no longer see her.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't shocked; I don't even know how I feel right now.
Dero was arrested again, which should have been a good thing, but for some reason, she felt lost.
That night, she didn't go back to her dormitory, but instead went back to the Leng family home.
The National Security Bureau quickly learned of Dero's arrest, and when Leng Ruo returned home, her brother seemed to be on the phone about it.
He waited until the call ended before approaching.
"Ruoruo? You're back?"
Leng Tianxiao wore a white silk nightgown, with wisps of hair neatly falling across his forehead, and his skin was fair. He had handsome features, and upon closer inspection, one could see a resemblance between his features and Leng Ruo's.
Leng Ruo hummed in response and sat down on the sofa next to her without moving.
Seeing his sister like this, Leng Tianxiao was stunned. He knew his sister was not talkative, but she shouldn't have become like this, without even a soul.
Did we encounter a ghost?
"Ruo Ruo, De Luo has been arrested. You can finally get some rest."
Previously, the International Security Bureau sent a message that Dero had escaped and hoped that the Leng family in China would help them. At that time, the Leng family basically mobilized, but still could not find any trace of Dero.
This younger sister is short on time because of the start of the school year, but despite that, she hasn't slacked off.
Leng Ruo's expression was complex, but her emotions didn't fluctuate much. "I know."
You know?
Leng Tianxiao frowned. He had only just learned how Leng Ruo...
"Did you run into Dero? Or was Dero captured by you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized there was something wrong with his words, especially the latter. His younger sister had been trained since childhood and was naturally quite capable, but she was still not quite up to the task of subduing Dero.
After all, she had very little practical experience. It was unthinkable that she could subdue the criminals who were troubling the International Security Bureau at the time.
Leng Ruo pursed her lips, looking at her brother's serious face.
“I encountered it, but I didn’t catch it; it was my roommate.”
Leng Tianxiao frowned. "Roommate?"
Speaking of this, Leng Tianxiao seemed to remember something and quickly pulled out a photo from his phone to show Leng Ruo.
"Is she the roommate you're talking about?"
Leng Ruo stared at Qi Jiu, who was smiling languidly in the photo, and was stunned. The way she looked at her brother changed.
"Brother, where did you get the photo? I'm talking about her."
Upon hearing this, Leng Tianxiao's expression became inscrutable. "This is a photo on Di Ciwen's desk, a picture of her and Di Ciwen together, which I photoshopped out separately."
Dietzwen, Director of the Bureau of International Security.
"What?" Leng Ruo stared at her brother in surprise.
Is this what Qi Jiu meant by "having some kind of relationship"? If their relationship wasn't important, why would Di Ciwen put their photo on the table?
Qiqi is probably not as simple as she says.
Leng Tianxiao's expression was also quite intriguing. The study suddenly fell silent, and the brother and sister remained silent in tacit agreement.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Leng Tianxiao finally spoke.
"Ruoruo, what do you think of your roommate? How do you get along? Like her personality..."
With her eyes lowered, Leng Ruo's expression was obscured from viewer's angle; only she knew that Qi Jiu's image was the only thing on her mind.
She shone brightly at the opening ceremony, and showed no mercy in fights...
This is absolutely perfect; Qi Jiu is exactly the person she has always wanted to be.
"I don't know much about her. All I know is that she has some connections with the director of the International Security Bureau, and she seems alright in the dormitory... But I feel like she can see right through me when she looks at me."
At this point, Leng Ruo's brows furrowed slightly.
Several times, during unintentional eye contact, Qi Jiu seemed to be able to see through everything in a single glance.
Leng Tianxiao nodded as if he understood, looked at his younger sister, and gently comforted her.
"It's okay, as long as she doesn't do anything to hurt you. After that, try not to offend her, or even better, be on good terms with her."
Such a person is truly unfathomable. I'm afraid that even if we include the Leng family, they might not be her match.
Leng Ruo nodded.
Even if her brother hadn't said anything, she would have done it anyway.
In the villa area, Qi Jiu had just returned to her villa when she heard someone knocking on the living room door. When she opened it, Shen Cimo was there with a smile on his face.
"MoMo?"
Seemingly not expecting Shen Cimo to arrive at this time, the girl's voice unconsciously rose a notch or two.
Shen Cimo pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled handsomely. "You haven't been home for a long time, so Mom asked me to come and see you. To see if you've been eating well, and to see if you're doing okay."
Seeing the girl in front of him naturally turn her body away, he walked in without ceremony, nodded as he looked at the well-organized living room.
How's school life been lately?
