Gu Yuqiu thought to herself that she would be able to see him in about ten days.

Zhong Chongshan continued, "The higher-ups of Blackstone and Divine Will Walker have also become suspicious, because the sunk costs have become too high and are not far from their limit of tolerance. Therefore, they have changed their strategy in recent days and have started to spread the news, attracting a lot of lone travelers."

At this point, he gave Gu Yuqiu a meaningful look and said, "The messengers of natural disasters came for this very reason."

Gu Yuqiu repeated the same two words: "So."

"I agree with your speculation."

Zhong Chongshan raised his head, looked into her eyes, and said, "That's also a reason why I can tolerate you, so I'd like to hear your more detailed assessment."

Gu Yuqiu didn't look at him. She thought of Lin Mushi, who had been left in the building, and then she understood what was going on.

She smiled slightly and asked softly, "You specifically asked me to come out so that the person pushing the wheelchair would ask Lin Mushi what happened to me?"

"You think too much."

Zhong Chongshan's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said solemnly, "I have never held such a thought. Every member of the Special Affairs Bureau is someone I am willing to trust."

As he spoke, he sighed inwardly, regretting that he had only heard Lin Mushi's full name.

Gu Yuqiu's smile widened, and she said, "Are you trying to shift the blame in advance?"

The conversation ended here.

The two did not turn back, but simply watched the same night sky, but with different views, waiting for the results to come from behind.

……

……

Ten minutes ago, inside the building.

Lin Mushi watched Gu Yuqiu's back with great anxiety, thinking to herself, "Can't you tone down your temper a little?"

She sighed inwardly, her mood worsening.

Just then, Liu Nan's voice reached her ears: "You seem to have a very good relationship with... this Miss Gu?"

Lin Mushi subconsciously hummed in response, then snapped out of her daze, looked at the kind-faced man, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Liu Nan said with a smile, "I just think her temper is too strange. You must have had a hard time lately, right?"

Chapter 30: The Silent Kiss

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi naturally felt a surge of emotion, as if she wanted to confide in someone.

These past few days, although she had long been used to Gu Yuqiu's style and was no longer surprised by anything he did, things were different now.

She simply couldn't understand why Gu Yuqiu was still so casual during work hours, completely disregarding the responsibilities she should bear.

As Lin Mushi thought about these things, she became somewhat angry.

Her expression remained calm as she looked up at Liu Nan and gave a perfunctory "hmm" as if she didn't understand what was going on.

This kind-looking man wasn't much older than her. Because of her studio, she had a lot of contact with him and received a lot of help from him.

Although Lin Mushi was well aware that she was being trained by the Special Affairs Bureau because of her exceptional talent, and that she might even be able to reach the fourth level of the Divine Ascension Path in the future.

She was used to not owing favors, so she silently kept those small and large acts of kindness in her heart, and thus she also remembered Liu Nan.

Over time, these impressions ingrained Liu Nan in her memory, eventually transforming her into the image of a kind and approachable senior.

Then this gentleness and closeness gave rise to a powerful force, making people want to get close to him and tell him the things hidden in their hearts.

This is where Lin Mushi's urge to confide in others comes from.

However, this did not affect her at all.

For Lin Mushi, there was only one thing that truly angered her.

She had blinked so many times that her eyes were almost sore, but Gu Yuqiu still ignored her and didn't react at all...

That's the real reason she's angry!

Was I too talkative?

Seeing her slightly somber expression, Liu Nan was quite pleased, and then said apologetically.

Lin Mushi thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need, this is my job, there's no reason to complain, and Gu Yuqiu is a rich woman."

Liu Nan said, "It seems she treats you very well?"

Lin Mushi thought this sounded a bit strange, and said irritably, "What's so good about it? I'm just like a maid from the old days, the only thing missing is warming her bed."

Liu Nan laughed and said, "So she really is lazy. No wonder what she said earlier sounded so strange, not like she was working at all."

"But then again..."

He looked into Lin Mushi's eyes and asked softly, "I'm quite curious about Gu Yuqiu. How does she usually live? Is there anything special about her personality?"

"I didn't notice."

Lin Mushi remained calm as he spoke, thinking that Gu Yuqiu was clearly carrying a huge secret, and might even have a powerful enemy, so he had to keep it strictly confidential.

Undeterred, Liu Nan asked again, "Gu Yuqiu went with me tonight to handle the case of the superhuman going berserk, right? I heard she met with a messenger of natural disasters and they talked for quite a while. Her background is indeed extraordinary."

"I didn't hear it."

Lin Mushi's expression remained unchanged. She thought that Gu Yuqiu's meeting with Su Yan must be related to the bureau. Perhaps her enemy was a big shot. Of course, she had to keep it a secret.

Liu Nan was somewhat surprised and asked again, "But compared to her background, I still think Gu Yuqiu is amazing because she is really strong. She actually managed to kill Mr. Zhuo. Perhaps these people in the elevator are no match for her either."

I'm not sure.

Lin Mushi's expression remained unchanged. She thought to herself that if Gu Yuqiu wasn't strong, how could she have escaped from that enemy's clutches? Perhaps her current arrogance was just an act, a persona. Of course, she had to keep it a secret.

Liu Nan fell silent.

He looked at Lin Mushi with great surprise, not knowing what to say.

Lin Mushi ignored him and continued to extrapolate from her previous thoughts, thinking that if Gu Yuqiu really had a blood feud... then she could only reluctantly accompany her to the end.

Thinking about these things, her mood inexplicably improved.

However, Liu Nan was still nearby, and it was still working hours.

So she managed to suppress the slight upturn of her lips, and walked seriously to the elevator, looking at the four headless corpses with a cute but serious expression, as if she wanted to find a buried truth among them.

Before long, the sound of the wheelchair turning reached her ears.

Lin Mushi snapped out of her daze, waited a few seconds, then turned to look at the two who had returned, nodded slightly, indicating that she had been working diligently and hadn't noticed them.

Liu Nan could tell she was distracted, but he couldn't guess what she was thinking. Helplessly, he shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found anything.

"Let's call it a day then."

Zhong Chongshan was silent for a while, then said, "Then, we will act according to Gu Yuqiu's guess and find people who are capable of interrogating the Youmian Church to conduct an investigation."

Liu Nan was somewhat surprised, but he wrote it down without changing his expression.

Lin Mushi was even more surprised than him, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuqiu, thinking to herself, "How did you manage to convince the director?"

Zhong Chongshan continued, "In addition, the two of you need to keep a close eye on the movements of the Church of the Sleeping Souls, although, given their habits, there won't be any recent activity..."

His voice stopped abruptly because Gu Yuqiu suddenly said something.

"I'm not used to it anymore."

What do you mean?

Zhong Chongshan looked at her, his expression slightly grave, and asked, "Does the Church of the Sleeping Souls intend to resort to any means necessary?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Yes."

Zhong Chongshan was silent for a moment, then said, "I will have people on high alert. If it's true, then you will receive corresponding credit."

He paused, then continued, "But I want you to understand that if your misjudgment leads to a waste of human resources, you will also need to bear the corresponding responsibility. Do you have any questions?"

"can."

After saying those two words, Gu Yuqiu turned and left.

This time she didn't tell Lin Mushi to leave, but the girl followed without thinking. After walking several steps, she realized what was happening and turned around to wave to her boss.

Everything felt like it was happening again yesterday.

As Zhong Chongshan watched the two figures disappear, he suddenly asked, "You didn't gain anything?"

Liu Nan lowered his head and hummed in agreement.

The feeling that had made Lin Mushi lower her guard earlier came from his extraordinary ability, and it did not come out of thin air.

"That's interesting."

Zhong Chongshan withdrew his gaze and said finally, "That's enough. There's no need to investigate any further."

After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair alone and drove off in the direction he had left.

Liu Nan suddenly looked up, staring at his back in disbelief, and remained stunned for a long time.

……

……

"When you went out just now, Liu Nan asked me about you."

"so."

"I didn't say anything, and my answer was extremely calm, without any change in expression."

"Then."

"What I mean is... shouldn't you praise me now and express your heartfelt gratitude?"

"No."

The conversation between the two was very awkward, naturally because of Gu Yuqiu.

She sat quietly in the passenger seat with her eyes closed, resolving the issue with the briefest possible response.

Then Lin Mushi remembered what had just happened, and her mood inevitably soured. Slightly annoyed, she asked, "You're not even going to say anything?"

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "If you want any gift, just go and buy it yourself."
