“That actually, Su Qingwan and I are not in a romantic relationship.”
“Huh?! What did you say? Did you two break up?!”
Qin Yunhe exclaimed, widening her eyes, and Ji Yun on the opposite side also choked on her drink!
“Just wait for me to finish, we’ve never been together.”
“Then why did Su Qingwan say you’re her boyfriend? You didn’t deny it, and I heard you even met aunt and admitted it face-to-face?”
“Yes, because I’m Teacher Su’s shield.”
“A shield?” Qin Yunhe blinked, wondering what kind of situation this plot, typical in novels, was about.
“Really, you know Teacher Su was really troubled by that incident. But her parents were pushing her hard, so after she finally opened up to them, she found me.”
“Making you pretend to be her boyfriend, my family’s Wanwan sure knows how to play…” Qin Yunhe rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit mentally drained.
Ever since she met Su Qingwan, she had always been someone who listened to her parents, never lied, and was straightforward in everything she did. She was not the type to to disguise herself.Of course, she’s also very gentle in character and has a strong sense of empathy, which can sometimes lead to indecisiveness and a lack of independent opinions.
Recently, she got a boyfriend and even dumped that jerk Jia Qing, which was quite unexpected. But what’s even more surprising are the things happening behind the scenes.
“But I hope, Sister Qin, you won’t tell Teacher Su’s parents.”
“I understand. As her best friend, I know her better than anyone else.”
But I’ll definitely tease her about it later, showing off her relationship, but deep down she’s still a single dog!
“That’s good then.”
“I was wondering why you were so bold in front of Wanwan from the beginning, looking at me so directly. Turns out it was all fake~ It’s normal for a High school student who is too young, unable to resist my charm.”
“Oh… Hello, Sister Qin.” Ji Yun on the other side also greeted, interrupting Qin Yunhe’s somewhat ambiguous words.
“Sorry, Little Sister Ji, I was just busy talking to him.”
“It’s okay, sister, have you had lunch?”
“Not yet, I’m just coming out from there, looking for a place to eat, then I’ll go back.”
“Then let’s eat together, the two of us can’t finish it anyway. Xu Lin said he’s not hungry either.”
“Okay,” Qin Yunhe, not one to be overly polite, nodded and grabbed a hamburger, starting to eat.
Then she choked after just two bites, prompting Xu Lin to push his yet-to-be-drunk cola toward her.
“You can still choke on a hamburger~”
“I tend to choke easily.”
With that, Qin Yunhe raised her head, glanced at Xu Lin, glanced at the cola, and as she chewed, her eyes became slightly moist.
Qin Yunhe felt a sudden change in her mood. She suddenly lost her appetite, but most importantly, she didn’t know why.
“Are your eyes uncomfortable? Or did you accidentally get some wasabi in them?”
“It’s not that. By the way, Xu Lin, did you and Little Sister Ji come all the way from school to eat here?”
“We don’t have anyone at home, so we thought we’d have a meal. The environment here is nice, and we can also study, plus there’s air conditioning.”
“Oh, I see. Hey~ are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?” Qin Yunhe also got a bit curious, after all, both of them were wearing school uniforms.
Sitting here gave off a vibe of a youthful romantic drama. And considering the unexpected incident the other day, losing her first kiss, if this guy wasn’t her first kiss, she would feel like she missed out.
“I confessed, but he rejected me,” Ji Yun said directly, and Qin Yunhe widened her eyes.
“He rejected you?”
Qin Yunhe didn’t quite believe it. Although Xu Lin isn’t ugly, it doesn’t make sense for him to reject such a beautiful girl, unless you’re into someone as stunning as Chu Qingchan!
“It’s true,” Ji Yun said with a smile as she looked at Xu Lin, and he could only nod.
Class Monitor Ji was really going through a rebellious phase. If he didn’t nod, he might have to spill his own scumbag deeds. But he really didn’t immediately accept her confession.
“Are you still going back in the afternoon?”
“Yeah, through their conversation, I already have a general idea of the scam organization’s situation. But I plan to continue investigating the details there in the afternoon.”
“For example, who is the leader, because I listened to their conversation, among the three people here, all are leaders, but the one who really makes money hasn’t shown up yet.”
“The middle-aged man who interviewed me is one of them, and the other two were speaking. One is named Qian something, probably the Qian Wan your friend and his girlfriend mentioned.”
“The other one is named He Yuansheng. From their voices, these two should be young men.”
“They originally belonged to a large fraud group from another province, but that group has already been smashed, and all the members have been arrested.”
“They actually consider themselves as the bottom line of the other side, with the three of them being in charge. But since there’s a lack of support from above and it’s difficult to secure funding, they’ve changed to a new boss.”
“This new boss they refer to as Brother Zhen. He never comes to the company, handling financial transactions directly online.”
“Then how do you think you can get information from the boss this afternoon? He’s such a cautious person.”
Listening to Qin Yunhe saying this, she now knows more than Lu Man and Ma Zhiyu. Lu Man only knows that Qian Wan is in charge.
“Because I received a very important piece of information that the boss behind the scenes will come here today.”
“Really? What a coincidence?”
“Well, it’s just that, today marks their third month of collaboration. But from what they’ve said, this person is very cautious; he hasn’t disclosed when or how he’ll arrive.”
“Do you want to wait and see? But can you tell them apart? Don’t they have a small secret room, who knows if there’s a passage?”
“So I tried, but no luck. I’ll have to notify the department tomorrow and get them mobilized.”
“Sister Qin, you really should have notified them. You’re putting yourself in real danger. What if something goes wrong? As a professional, you can’t make such mistakes.”
Though they weren’t that familiar with each other, there were things that needed to be said, especially concerning safety and social responsibility.
“I understand, but Xu Lin, please understand me too. My father was actually very opposed to me becoming a police officer.”
“I have to be better than others to be able to say to him without regret when facing him.”
Hearing her say this, Xu Lin also sighed helplessly. What else could he say?
“Oh, by the way, what about the tiger from that day?” Ji Yun sensed that Xu Lin and Qin Yunhe were in a bit of an awkward situation, so she immediately changed the subject.
“My father agreed to help with snowball’s matter. He happened to have the idea of raising a tiger too.”
“Snowball?”
“I named it that, but whether it will be called that in the future, I don’t know. You can go to the zoo to see it when the time comes.”
Afterward, a few people chatted briefly, and Qin Yunhe was about to leave, saying she needed to appear diligent to highlight her honest identity.
However, as she walked away, Xu Lin’s brow remained furrowed, making Ji Yun a bit nervous.
“Are you very worried about Miss Qin Yunhe?”
“Mm, I always feel like something unexpected is going to happen.”
“Don’t jinx it!”
“…”
Ji Yun called him out, and he shut his mouth, but he had some ideas in mind.
