Chapter 3908: Chapter 3908: Sister Nian’s Sixth Sense at Work

Qiao Nian began using the network in the north to investigate the whereabouts of Di Xicheng, calculating how to cast the net to ensure that nothing goes wrong, preventing him from escaping again.

When she works, she’s extremely focused, yet her demeanor still exudes the usual laid-back and devil-may-care attitude. Her gaze remained on the rapidly moving codes on the screen, fingers tapping the keyboard, one leg stretched, the other lazily bent, a nonchalant expression on her face, with eyes dark as ever...

After 10 minutes, Qiao Nian pushed the keyboard away, picked up the phone on the table, and called Tattoo Arm.

"Beep."

Tattoo Arm answered immediately: "Zhui Guang."

Qiao Nian, leaning lazily against the armrest of her chair, asked: "Have you reached that supermarket? What did the boss say?"

"The boss handed over his phone to me. I’m preparing to bring it back so you can check if he tampered with the videos." Tattoo Arm replied crisply and efficiently.

Qiao Nian agreed with a sound, then said: "You guys come back first."

Tattoo Arm responded with a sound, seemingly turned back to explain something to someone beside him, as Qiao Nian heard noise from his end.

After a while, Tattoo Arm returned and reported: "I’ve already told them to get in the car."

Qiao Nian heard the sound of a door closing on the other end.

She thought for a moment: "Drive slowly on the way."

"Okay, Zhui Guang."

Tattoo Arm responded softly to her concern.

...

Qiao Nian quickly put the phone back, her gaze drifted once more to the computer.

The computer screen displayed numerous tracks of Di Xicheng’s activities in the north. These traces seemed to suddenly emerge overnight.

Previously, I hadn’t been able to trace Di Xicheng at all.

However, since the supermarket boss appeared and provided a clue, I found the investigation going unusually smoothly... so smoothly that Qiao Nian couldn’t help but suspect if someone was deliberately ’helping’ her behind the scenes.

Qiao Nian pursed her lips, raised her hand, and pressed it against her heart.

Under her palm, her heartbeat was strong and rhythmic, thud—thud—thud—clear, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of restlessness.

——Which part went wrong?

Qiao Nian half-closed her weary eyes, unable to pinpoint any issues or understand where her agitation stemmed from.

She rested her hand on her knee, half-closing her eyes, temporarily giving up on delving deeper.

The night in the illegal zone always arrives especially early.

Around six-thirty in the evening, the fiery clouds gradually disappeared, as the sky began to be shrouded in darkness...

Red Alliance headquarters.

Mo Xi didn’t come today.

Qiao Nian and Tattoo Arm were also in the north.

Inside the white mansion, only Guan Yan, Qin Si, Ji Lin, and Ye Wangchuan were residing.

Guan Yan woke up from a nap and found it was already dark outside.

She draped on a jacket and pushed the door open, seeing Ji Lin and Qin Si busy preparing dinner, the air filled with molecules of the fragrance.

She couldn’t help but twitch her nose and grabbed the passing man: "What are you guys cooking? Smells so good."

Qin Si still held an exquisite porcelain plate, his eyelids lowered at her words, lips curling: "My craftsmanship. You’ll know soon enough."

Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Guan Yan clicked her tongue and let go.

Qin Si called to her softly: "You go wash your hands first, just sit at the dining table and wait. It’ll be ready soon."

"Oh." Guan Yan slightly averted her gaze, hiding her momentary heartbeat.

Qin Si, busy with the kitchen and also grabbing dishes, didn’t notice her momentary emotional shift, and watched Guan Yan obediently go to wash her hands, then walk towards the dining room.

Assured, he dove back into the kitchen.
