Chapter 90: What Would Be a More Proper Thing For Us to Do?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was an incident that looked like it could be easily investigated, yet there was no conclusion to it, ultimately.
The delivery worker who collected the package containing the dead rat claid that the person who sent the express package was an old woman. There were also surveillance caras to prove his words. After painstakingly retrieving the surveillance footage, Fan Shixin watched it and verified the delivery worker’s words.
Based on the figure captured by surveillance caras, a sketch was done and searched for at the police station, but nothing could be found.
It turned out that no such person existed.
It was a sheer mystery.
From the video, and from the delivery worker’s description, the old woman looked very old. But judging from the way she walked and sounded, it did not give one the feeling of a weak and feeble elderly person.
Given soone as intelligent as Jin Qingyan, he concluded that the person had worn a human face mask.
One could only imagine the difficulty of this investigation now. Finding that person was not a simple task at all.
Jin Qingyan played Chi Rui’er’s voice recording from his phone for the delivery worker to listen to. He expressed on the spot that it was not this voice he had heard. When he was collecting the package containing the dead rat, he had sized up the other party and had a deep impression of that person.
For two consecutive days, there were no new leads in the investigation.
An Xiaoning remarked, “This matter was executed very carefully, the other party was very thorough with it. After all, we are in the open, and the other party is acting under cover. There are so many people. To find that person, it’s definitely not an easy feat. Let’s put this matter aside for now. Rather than being engrossed with reviewing this matter, we might as well do other things.”
With his hand supporting his head, Jin Qingyan questioned casually, “In your opinion, what is most suitable for us to review? Or perhaps, what would be a more proper thing for us to do?”
His pair of eyes were glowing in an inviting manner, as if they were conveying so ssage to her, but it was extrely subtle.
An Xiaoning coughed a few tis to break the awkward topic and replied nonchalantly, “In my opinion, it’s ti for to swim, so I’ll be going first.”
Watching the back of her figure as she left, Jin Qingyan’s eyes were curled into a line as his face glowed with happiness and his heart pounded lightly. She spent more of her ti swimming than with him. Luckily, he could make up for it at night.

“Ti’s up, pack up and close the store.” i Yangyang took a look at the ti and started to arrange the clothes.
“Sister Yangyang.” Xu Jingwen was grinning beside her as she asked, “How did you et Sister Xiaoning?”
i Yangyang replied as she arranged the clothes, “Well, purely by luck, how else could we have t?”
“Tell us how the both of you t, please?”
i Yangyang looked up. “We t on the streets.”
“Lucky you! Sister Yangyang, I can see that Sister Xiaoning trusts you a lot. She’s already teaching you how to choose and order stocks.” Xu Jingwen revealed a face of envy. “The both of you are so close.”
i Yangyang grinned and did not say a word. An Xiaoning was good to her. She knew that, of course. It did not have to be said at all. She was very grateful too, as not everyone could place such trust with a friend whom they had not known for a long ti.
Seeing that she was not talking so much, Xu Jingwen started to pack up too.
Zhang Li returned with the dinner she had bought, and the three went to eat together.
“Hey, Sister Yangyang. Do you know how Sister Xiaoning and Mr. Jin t?” Xu Jingwen asked, unable to contain her curiosity. “I’m very curious to know.”
i Yangyang responded with only a few words, “I’m not too sure.”
Zhang Li passed the chopsticks to i Yangyang and lowered her head as she ate her food in a prim and proper manner. She knew what to say and what not to say, which was why she never asked anything out of line.
When i Yangyang was done eating and had put down her chopsticks, she was taken aback by the figure who had appeared at the entrance of the store.
“Oh my, oh my god!” She had one hand on her chest as she looked at Long Tianze, who was leaning against the door fra. He was clad in a black suit and wore a black face mask. His overall attire simply made him look like a robber.
Hearing the noise, the other two ca forward to take a look and were also stricken with fear.
“Why are you here?”
Long Tianze stood up straight and folded his arms, looking at her calmly. “Just shopping around casually, then I reached your store. I wanted to treat you to a al, but I see you’ve eaten.”
“Yes, I’ve eaten. I thought there was sothing on. As it happens, the store has closed. If you’ve anything to say, let’s go outside.”
“Alright, let’s go.” He turned around and headed out first, with i Yangyang following behind.
Looking at how Xu Jingwen had turned into a fool, Zhang Li used the other end of the chopstick to nudge her shoulder. “What’s wrong with you?”
Xu Jingwen suddenly went out of her trance and said, “I thought he was Sister Yangyang’s boyfriend. But from their conversation, it seed like he wasn’t. Although he was wearing a face mask, he seems really handso.”
“He is your cup of tea again, right?” Although Zhang Li had not known her for a long ti, she understood what kind of girl she was.
“Mmm... I have sothing for tall and handso n. It would be best if he was rich too.” She bead brightly. “The problem is, I haven’t been able to et one myself.”
“Do you think it is that easy to win the heart of this kind of n who have everything? Unless you’re extraordinary.” As she packed up the food boxes into a plastic bag and threw it into the bin, Zhang Li went on, “Look at Sister Xiaoning: she has a brain, a great body, and good looks. This kind of woman who has everything will naturally be able to find soone on par with her. Although Sister Yangyang cos from an average family, she is sweet-looking like a little lolita, and her personality is straightforward and easy-going too. I think her future partner would not be too bad as well.”
Xu Jingwen pushed her hair behind her ears and exclaid, “Well, I’m not too bad either. I believe I’m quite pretty too, my body is kept in shape, and my brain isn’t too bad. Those n of diocre quality don’t deserve , I’ll find a good man too next ti.”
Zhang Li wiped the table and poured a glass of water. She shook her head as she replied, “Your ambition is greater than the sky. A princess at heart, but living the life of a slave. I really hope that you’ll achieve what you wish for in the future.”
There was a resolute look in Xu Jingwen’s eyes. This conviction pushed her to make preparations for the day she’d beco successful.
Although she was wearing a down coat, i Yangyang still felt slightly cold when she left the store.
His car was parked at the store entrance, so the two got on imdiately.
Long Tianze turned on the lights and heater in the car, then took out a beef pattie. “I’d wanted to ease my hunger with this. Forget it, I’ll just eat this for my dinner.”
“Don’t let your stomach put up with this, why don’t we go to a restaurant to eat?”
“I’m too lazy, there’s no point in eating by myself. Why don’t you make a al for ?”
“Sure.” What’s so difficult about making a al? He’d even saved her before.
He put down the beef pattie and started to drive. The car started to go forward at a very slow speed.
When they finally reached Shui Lou Estate where he lived, he stopped the car. Pointing to a brightly-lit area ahead, he said, “Let’s buy so ingredients from the supermarket, there’s nothing in my fridge at all.”
i Yangyang had to give it to him. “What do you want to eat?”
The two got off together, and Long Tianze responded after so thought, “I want to eat noodles with shredded at.”
She turned and watched him. “Just this?”
“Is that okay?”
“Since Young Master Long has spoken, of course it’s fine. Let’s go.”
He went into the supermarket and placed almost any ingredient he could see into the shopping cart. After they were done, he ca out with two big bags in his arms.
His fridge was finally fully filled with food.
“Where’s the apron?”
He went to get it for her and hung it over her neck. Then, he naturally helped her tie it behind her back. i Yangyang then started to prepare a al for him.
While she was preparing the al, he stood there observing her closely. He seldom ate at ho and had never let any woman enter his kitchen before.
As he looked on, Long Tianze felt that if he had a woman to cook for him every day, it would actually be great.
