The car started, and Gu Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew his mother-in-law too well. If he didn't leave quickly, she would definitely find a way to give the money back.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Nanjin asked lightly, "Why not stay a little longer... those people seem to like you."
"That's exactly why I have to leave." Gu Shen smiled, "Don't you understand? The love between children and parents affects my journey!"
Nanjin took off her black-framed glasses and rolled her eyes at Gu Shen.
After leaving the welfare home, she was no longer the understanding older sister. Putting on her sunglasses again, she became the cold and ruthless Nanjin.
"There are a lot of daily tasks at the Arbitration Court, and it's very busy. You may often go on business trips and travel all over the East Continents. But there are also some specific tasks that require the executor to stay in a city for a long time... Your time will only become less and less, but you don't have to worry about money anymore. The Council will give you generous subsidies."
"That's fine." Gu Shen smiled, "As the saying goes, you can't have both time and money. My mother-in-law should praise me for making so much money, right?"
"Maybe your mother-in-law just wants you to spend more time with her?"
Nanjin always liked to uncover the truth.
Seeing Gu Shen silent, she changed the subject, "But it's not the right time now. Do you remember the car that was parked in front of the welfare home just now?"
Gu Shen was startled, and his expression became serious.
Nanjin noticed it too... he nodded slowly.
"That car has a problem. It may be targeting you. Did you have any contact with him just now?" Nanjin said decisively, "I have already informed Senior Brother Zhong to investigate... the review is in two days, so you must not have any accidents these two days."
Was someone trying to assassinate him?
This was indeed the logical first reaction and judgment. Unfortunately, Nanjin didn't know that he had already clashed with that person... the danger was even greater than the last assassination.
"I had a brief contact with him in the courtyard. I also found him suspicious." Gu Shen scratched his head and pretended to be clueless, "That gentleman's surname is Han. He always smiles and looks young but rich. He generously sponsored me with a hundred thousand yuan."
"Surname Han? Always smiling?"
As soon as Nanjin heard this, she immediately thought of Han Dang mentioned by Senior Brother Zhong.
He was a highly dangerous mental-type transcendent.
Her expression became serious, "Did he say anything to you? Or did he have any physical contact with you?"
"Ah..." Gu Shen looked confused, pretending to think hard, and muttered, "I can't remember... Oh, I remember now. He seemed to say that he would visit me in Dateng City."
Nanjin immediately dialed Zhong Wei's phone.
...
...
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
There was a light rain in Dateng City.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
A young man and a young woman stood alone on the empty airport tarmac, sharing an umbrella. The pouring rain fell on the ground, splashing up, but couldn't touch their clothes at all. It was as if there was an invisible barrier of wind, keeping the raindrops out.
The act of sharing an umbrella made their appearance less strange.
"There are thirteen minutes left until the review team arrives."
Luo Er softly spoke, her expression complex. Due to the heavy rain, the review team's plane was about an hour late than scheduled. They had been waiting in the rain for an hour.
"It's been a long time since I spent time alone with Senior Sister."
Zhong Wei chuckled softly, "If it weren't for this special training, how long were you planning to avoid me?"
He and Luo Er were the first two students that Mr. Shu accepted. Starting from the year they entered the Arbitration Court, they had known each other for ten years.
"I wasn't avoiding you." Luo Er sighed, "The tasks at the Arbitration Court are too busy. Teacher is overwhelmed. Once there is a transcendent event beyond Class A, the only person who can handle it is me."
"Maybe you can call me next time. I can help... We've been partners for so long." Zhong Wei helplessly said, "I don't have any other thoughts... I just... want to help you, and don't want to see you dealing with high-risk uncontrollable events alone."
Luo Er opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
"To be honest, I'm quite grateful to Gu Shen. If it weren't for this 'S' rank newcomer, when would we meet again? Will we still be alive then?"
Zhong Wei held the umbrella with one hand and raised the other hand. His five fingers inserted into the rain curtain, not retracting his transcendent power.In the next instant, a fierce wind suddenly erupted, spinning and tearing apart a large swath of rainwater in front of it.
"Do you remember what the teacher said? The one who awakens to become Transcendent holds the crown in his own hands, and also sends himself on a path of no return. Countless bones are buried under the Nagano cemetery, and I don't want to meet my senior sister there one day."
"There's something I've always wanted to tell my senior sister."
He smiled, "I..."
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone always rings at the most inappropriate times.
Like when someone is gathering courage.
"I'll take this call..." The silent atmosphere was shattered by the ringing. He picked up the phone with a bitter smile, lowered his eyes, and listened quietly.
After hanging up the phone.
"Nanjin called, is there an emergency with Gu Shen?" the senior sister asked.
"...Not exactly an emergency. Just found a suspicious vehicle, I'll investigate when I get back." He sighed lightly, his courage interrupted by the call.
So, they both fell silent.
The senior sister's expression was clearly a bit annoyed. She looked at the rain curtain and said, "When will those guys from the review team finally arrive?"
Her task for this pick-up was to receive the review team and try to extract as much information as possible from them.
About the internal assessment of Gu Shen by the review team.
And... most importantly, the review content prepared specifically for the "S-class"!
He took a deep breath again, gathering his courage once more: "Senior sister, about that..."
"Ring, ring, ring!"
The phone rang again.
He couldn't hold back anymore.
After picking up the phone again, his expression gradually became serious.
After hanging up, the senior sister frowned: "Is it Nanjin again?"
"Yes."
After being interrupted twice, he had completely forgotten what he wanted to say. He said seriously: "The identity of the owner of the suspicious vehicle has been basically confirmed... It's Han Dang."
