Brian’s eyes narrowed.
Caroline, Susan’s female BFF!
Unable to win a fair fight, she retreats in order to advance, seeking to make Susan, who’s never been in love, anxious and unsure.
She hopes to see Susan lose interest in him without a battle and then swoop in when Susan starts arguing due to feeling uncomfortable…
What a vicious plan!
It took almost an instant for Brian’s mind to conjure up a long narrative.
In his previous life, he had seen many such stories shared in comnt sections about how male and female best friends ended up winning over soone like this.
This was just a textbook example!
Brian quickly asked, “What did Caroline say?”
“Woof woof woof~”
Roughly about, security, care, little tests…
Brian’s blood pressure shot up as he listened.
Wasn’t this just a breakup starter pack?
No wonder Susan had suddenly wanted to have dinner with him the day before yesterday.
It was entirely out of character for her.
At the ti, he had found it strange.
If Susan really wanted to have a al with him, she would’ve straightforwardly said, “Go to XX with tonight,” getting straight to the point without any beating around the bush, instead of making it so ceremonious.
So even if he hadn’t been with Shi San hunting that day, Brian would have found so other excuse.
This was the emotional acuity of an excellent man!
“Playing the innocent with , huh?”
Brian thought of Caroline’s pretty face and sneered coldly.
Once he finished up his current cases, he would show her what it ant to lose both the lady and the troops!
He intended to make sure Caroline would have a hard ti explaining her suffering!
…
Caroline liked Shi San very much.
Every ti she saw it, she threw a bunch of treats in front of Shi San, fed it by hand, and showered it with praise and petting.
Shi San was just a kid.
It had never seen such grand treatnt before.
Which led it to spill soone’s secrets.
The dog felt sowhat embarrassed.
Considering Shi San’s spineless attitude after being plied with treats, Brian gave it a good half-hour of ideological education, emphasizing on who the class enemy was and what were the ‘cotton candy bullets’…
As a blank slate before its master, naturally, everything the boss said was a truth, and the dog nodded incessantly.
After satisfying his need to lecture.
Brian left contentedly with Shi San, returning to the office.
Susan was in today, and as it was rare for everyone to be present, they held a morning eting.
During the eting,
Susan specifically criticized Glenn’s personal grooming.
The guy had joined Team B6 two months ago, and for two-thirds of that ti, he showed up with a swollen face, combined with his carefree deanor, it often led to people calling in during cases to inquire if they had been approached by a scamr.
Glenn:..
Handso guys face trials, and he was helpless about it.
With Ivan’s protection before, no one dared to touch him.
The two of them hanging out together, not picking on others, was a sign of their self-restraint.
But now he got beaten up every other day, and even Ivan got dragged into it.
Where was the justice in that?
…
After the eting ended,
Brian sealed Susan’s lips with a kiss and, after a bit of affection, took Green to the scheduled appointnt with the police consulting expert.
This consultant was a biological and dical expert from Los Angeles and a mber of the Human Health dical Safety Committee.
Whenever new drugs were introduced into the market, Surgical Mages, and so on, they would refer to these esteed academicians for opinions, being heavyweights in the field.
If Brian wasn’t a Second-level Staff of NW’s B Series, able to make a direct phone appointnt through the NW Foreign Affairs Departnt, it’s likely the expert wouldn’t have had the ti to bother with the two of them.
The place was a research institute.
Led by a secretary, Brian and Green entered a private reception room.
Suddenly,
Brian spotted a painting on the wall and looked at it with a mix of surprise and suspicion.
There was a traditional ink wash landscape from Hua Country on it.
The landscape itself wasn’t the cause of Brian’s surprise.
The key thing was, as he looked at this seemingly ordinary painting, his Supercomputer Perception passively picked up a peculiar sense of the ink ‘flowing.’
There was sothing eerie about this painting!
