When they returned to the original meeting point, Gu Qingjiu went to retrieve her phone.
It was already very late now, at about one a.m.
When Gu Qingjiu looked at her phone, she saw that He Niancheng had sent her a text message at 12:30 a.m.
‘Where did you go?’
Gu Qingjiu was a tad shocked.
He was aware that the school turned off the lights and wifi at ten p.m., so he never sent her text messages at this hour.
Could he know that she wasn’t in school?
Gu Qingjiu hesitated for a moment, not sure if she should reply to him.
If she replied to him, He Niancheng might ask her for her current location, and she couldn’t reveal to him where she was.
Just as she was gazing at her phone, Lie Feng, who was next to her, seemed to sense something. “Did someone send you a text message?”
“No…”
Gu Qingjiu set her phone down. “Are we going to the secret base now?”
“Mm,” he responded blandly.
Behind him, Zong Wenjia cast a glance at her and Lie Feng, then suddenly spoke. “A few days ago, when I was checking up on Yun Qiyue, some things were different from how they played out today. For instance, that bodyguard who came out of nowhere at his home today caught me off-guard. I never expected Yun Qiyue to have a habit of discussing matters with others elsewhere other than his study.”
“That means Yun Qiyue already detected something.”
Lie Feng said, “If he sensed it for no reason, that meant he knew what he has done. The Special Security Agency is going to investigate him sooner or later. I just have no idea why they asked us to take action first.”
“Perhaps to test him out.”
Zong Wenjia said with an occasional admiring glance at Gu Qingjiu, “But for you to hit the target accurately, under those circumstances, you’re as talented in shooting as rumor has it. Now that Qingjiu has joined us, the shooting vacancy in our department is now filled. We also have a long-range sniper now.”
Perhaps after having worked on a mission together, they no longer felt as distant now.
Zong Wenjia didn’t seem to repel Gu Qingjiu as much as at the start.
Gu Qingjiu merely grinned. Next to them, Lie Feng said, “Not necessarily. We can’t be certain how Lu Ziyang thinks of this. Let’s go back and report the mission outcome to him first.”
It was one a.m. in the capital, and to many people, the night had just begun. Nightlife had only just commenced. Especially those brightly lit famous streets, roadside food stalls, they were bustling with life right now.
Lie Feng didn’t at all attract attention as he drove. They arrived at the secret base Gu Qingjiu was brought to the last time.
However, this time, there were many barbecue stalls by the roadside.
“There are many stalls that serve pretty good barbecue outside our place. I’ll treat you to that later, Newbie,” Zong Wenxuan suggested enthusiastically.
Gu Qingjiu directly declined. “I’ll pass. Thank you for your kind intentions, but I am traumatized by that.”
Having contracted the viral flu after eating a snack in a mall previously, all the more she wouldn’t dare to touch food at roadside stalls like this.
Upon hearing this, Zong Wenjia recalled that incident too. “Previously, Lu Ziyang told us that something happened to you, that you contracted some viral flu?”
Not everyone was fond of hearing stuff like this about other members of the department.
Gu Qingjiu nodded, then succinctly recounted that incident.
Zong Wenjia slapped Zong Wenxuan hard on the back. “Did you hear that? You’re not to eat outside food at random in the future!”
Zong Wenxuan was speechless.
He felt especially innocent.
Nothing had ever happened to him after eating that for so long.
