Just as the two of them were about to call the police, there came an urgent knocking at the doorâ¦
Qin Rou saw through the peephole that there were several people outside, and the one leading them was none other than Shen Jue.
Qin Rou used her lip movements to tell Jian Dan who was outside.
Once Jian Dan knew who it was, her eyebrows knitted together, because both she and Qin Rou could guess that they must have come for Zheng Chengcheng.
âWhat should we do?â Qin Rou asked again with her lip movements.
Out of urgency, Jian Dan could only carry Zheng Chengcheng into the bathtub in the bathroom, pull the shower curtain closed, and quickly cleaned up the bloodstains on the couch so they didnât look so obvious anymore.
Afterwards, Jian Dan also entered the bathroom, turned on the shower pretending to take a bathâ¦
Seeing Jian Danâs series of actions, Qin Rou guessed her plan; thus, when Jian Dan closed the bathroom door, Qin Rou composed her emotions before opening the front door, âWhatâs the rush? My door is about to be knocked down by you guys.â Qin Rou crossed her arms in front of her chest, feigning anger as she spoke.
âIâm really sorry, my cat is missing, and I wanted to see if it ran into your place!â While it was an apology, it didnât carry the slightest aura of remorse, rather it was brimming with arrogance.
âWhat are you looking at?â Qin Rou stopped the few men who were sizing up her room.
âTheyâre just helping me search for my cat!â Shen Jue spoke up.
âDo you think itâs appropriate for a bunch of men to be examining the room of a single girl so brazenly?â
When he visited other peopleâs rooms, everyone was very cooperative; he hadnât expected to encounter such a tough nut!
âWell, indeed theyâre in the wrong. I can have them apologize to you, but Iâm truly anxious to find my cat and hope that you will allow us to look around!â Shen Jue said, suppressing the rage in his heart, speaking in a gentlemanly manner.
Qin Rou, seeing his current demeanor, truly experienced the correct interpretation of a wolf in sheepâs clothing.
âIâve been at the training camp for some days now, and I hadnât realized, does the director also keep a cat?â Qin Rou showed no intention of letting them in.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes! Normally I keep it in a separate room, so not many people have seen it!â Shen Jue smoothly lied.
âIs that so? I would have never guessed that Director Shen is such a caring person!â Qin Rou emphasized the word âcaringâ heavily on purpose.
Seeing Shen Jue, who was clearly furious yet had to suppress his anger and not lash out, Qin Rou felt incredibly pleased inside.
Shen Jue gritted his teeth and forced out a smile uglier than crying, âAppearances can be deceiving!â
âIndeed! Director Shen speaks the truth!â Qin Rou spared no mercy for Shen Jue.
âSo, may I now come in to take a look?â Right now, finding Zheng Chengcheng as soon as possible was the most important thing, so he could only endure.
Just as they were about to enter the room, Qin Rou raised her hand to block the door, âDid I say you could come in?â
âWhat do you mean?â Shen Jueâs patience was nearing its breaking point.
âWhat could I possibly mean! There is no cat in my room, you can go now!â As she spoke, Qin Rou was about to close her door, but how could Shen Jue let Qin Rou close the door so easily?
The more Qin Rou behaved like this, the greater the likelihood that Zheng Chengcheng was in her place; moreover, Zheng Chengcheng had previously been with New E Media.
âDirector Shen, what are you trying to do?â Qin Rou looked at the hand blocking the door, speaking without a trace of fear.
âI am truly in a hurry, so I must find it as soon as possible; please cooperate!â As Shen Jue was talking, one of the men directly grabbed Qin Rouâs hand and barged into the room, followed by the others entering as wellâ¦
