I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 314 9 Pink Roses

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zhang Ru was applying medicine to Jiang Huashan. After shooting for several hours, her knuckles and arms were swollen.

"Everything should be done in moderation, step by step. If you wear out your hands in one day, you won't be able to practice again in the future. Wouldn't all your efforts today be wasted?"

Zhang Ru had no idea what she had done. She just thought she had gone crazy from practicing shooting, and her face was full of heartache.

Jiang Huashan laughed and joked, "Oh, Aunt Zhang also knows how to preach?"

Zhang Ru glared at her in mock anger, "Why wouldn't I understand? It's the same principle as making soup. If you want a thick soup base, you can't just boil it over high heat. You have to simmer it slowly over low heat for seven or eight hours to get that flavor."

Jiang Huashan nodded seriously, "I'm grateful for your advice."

Zhang Ru knew she didn't take it to heart, but she didn't force it. She stood up and said, "I'll get you a bowl of soup."

Jiang Huashan looked at Zhang Ru, "Auntie Zhang? Do you want to go out?"

Zhang Ru was stunned and looked at her puzzledly, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Huashan thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter where I go. I can do what I like and see the wider world."

In her memory, Zhang Ru seemed to be always busy in the kitchen, and her world was so small that it only included Shen Garden.

Zhang Ru shook her head.

Now it was Jiang Huashan who was confused. "Why not? If you're worried about money, I can..."

Zhang Ru smiled and said, "It's not about the money, it's because... I'm doing what I love most right now."

Jiang Huashan was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Zhang Ru pointed to the windowsill, where the pink roses in the glass vase were in full bloom. "Miss, if you're really bored, just look at the flowers and stop thinking about random things."

Jiang Huashan, “…”

Zhang Ru turned around and went back to the kitchen to busy herself.

Jiang Huashan frowned and walked to the windowsill in tortoise slippers.

The pink roses are in full bloom, exactly nine in number.

Why are all of them so weird?

So is Shen Lanxi.

He must have noticed something about what happened today, but he didn't react at all. He didn't even frown when he saw the half-dead targets on the ground. This is not his style.

He showed up in the cafe for no apparent reason, then in the shantytown for no apparent reason, and even gave her flowers for no apparent reason...

It was strange and unfamiliar, and it was no longer Shen Lanxi.

Orchid Garden.

Shen Lanxi was leaning against the window looking at the moon, her eyes cold and nostalgic.

"Young Master." Gao Zhi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

Shen Lanxi turned her eyes away, and when she looked up again, she was indifferent. "Just pick out the important things to say."

What a lot of nonsense! Gao Zhi secretly sighed in his heart and quickly selected a few of the documents and handed them forward.

"Master, the Su family is being targeted this time. That Su Yun..."

Shen Lanxi wasn't very interested, "Change it."

Don’t you want to accept such a big favor from the Su family?

Gao Zhi thought of another idea, "Got it! Master, the church in Xilin District..."

Shen Lanxi tapped the table with her fingertips.

Gao Zhi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Shen Lanxi, then pulled out half a stack of documents. "This is Miss Jiang's daily routine during this period."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyelids and took it calmly.

Pretend!

Gao Zhi saw through it but didn't say anything. He continued, "It seemed fine before, but if you look back at the results, there's something fishy about all the daily routines here. Take the China World Trade Center incident, for example. All the forces in the Shen family, both secret and open, went out without a clue. Meanwhile, Miss Jiang left Shen Garden and went straight to the China World Trade Center, as if she had foreseen it."

Shen Lanxi flipped through the pages one by one without responding.

"Also, Miss Jiang had no contact with the little girl from the Zhou family. Yet, when she needed her most, Miss Jiang went to the Zhou family and even came to beg you, young master, for her."

Gao Zhi stroked his chin and analyzed each frame, "She obviously hates the young master so much, yet she pleads for someone unrelated. This is abnormal! Something is wrong."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes and glanced at Gao Zhi lightly.

Gao Zhi pretended not to notice and smoothly changed the subject, "And that Fu Xiaoxiao? Although Miss Jiang and her don't get along, their previous exchanges were mostly just verbal clashes. But in recent times, Miss Jiang has been completely unreasonable and directly attacked. She's so lazy, yet she hits people herself. That's unusual! She's suspicious."

Shen Lanxi remained silent.

As soon as he saw Jiang Huashan enter the cafe for the first time, he knew that Fu Xiaoxiao had been plotted against.

What girl brings two guns and a backpack of bullets to drink coffee?

Is this tolerated?

Gao Zhi looked Shen Lanxi up and down. It turned out that the young master who had stayed in the mountains for a long time was easy to deceive. He would lose his principles as long as a pretty girl waved at him.

Shen Lanxi seemed to have eyes on her head. She saw through the transgression in Gao Zhi's eyes and said in a normal tone, "You don't want the eyes anymore?"

Yeah? He still has a brain?

Gao Zhi quickly put on his sunglasses to avoid accidentally revealing his true feelings.

Shen Lanxi had no time to train monkeys. "Put your things down and get out."

"Yes."

Use it and then throw it away, what a heartless young master.

Gao Zhi had just turned around when Shen Lanxi suddenly remembered something and called him again.

"Have you found out who is behind that email?"

Three days ago, Shen Lanxi's mailbox was secretly hacked into. The person did not take any information, but left a letter.

It was because of the clues in the letter that Shen Lanxi noticed the Fu family and learned about Fu Xiaoxiao's plan.

Gao Zhi's expression became more serious. "Not yet."

Shen Lanxi didn't blame him. "Keep investigating. Destroy all the previous data and find someone to rebuild the database."

"Yes."

The hot tea turned cold and I didn't even take a sip.

The young man half leaned against the bed and flipped through the pages of Jiang Huashan's daily life.

He was so smart that he could see the whole picture from a small part, and all the small clues were connected together to form a huge intelligence network.

When they first met at the age of fifteen, she pointed at his nose and spoke foul language, a type of person he had never met before.

But looking back now, every time she crossed the line was just right, whether it was Sui'er, Mianzhi, Zhou Qishan, or now even Su Miao.

Shen Lanxi looked up and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

South Bay.

Shen Guiling was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at her phone.

The neon lights and the orange light covering his body made him look lonely and quiet.

Mo Ran was dazed, and was not awakened until Shen Guiling looked at him.

"Is there something?" the young man took the initiative to speak.

Mo Ran placed the orange juice on the table and took out a small hard drive from his pocket. He said respectfully, "Master, this is the news from Whale Harbor."

Shen Guiling turned over the phone, raised his hand, picked up the orange juice and took a sip.

After spending some time together, Mo Ran no longer dared to treat the young man in front of him as a child of the same age, and took the initiative to explain: "This is what the master meant. Congress has many affairs to attend to, and the master is too busy to handle them all. From now on, local intelligence matters will be handled by the young master."

Shen Guiling put down the orange juice and took the hard drive from Mo Ran's hand slowly.

"Tell Father I'll take care of it."

"Yes." Mo Ran nodded. Just as he turned around, he suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a moment before turning back. "Master A Ling, Madam was in charge of local intelligence before."

Shen Guiling glanced at Mo Ran, smiled, and said gently, "I understand."

Mo Ran lowered his eyes, bowed and left the room.

When the door was closed, the smile in Shen Guiling's eyes disappeared instantly, and he threw the hard drive aside without any interest.

He turned his head and held his chin, his eyes looking at the bright moon in the sky indifferently, and his fingertips tapped the phone unconsciously.

The screen suddenly lit up, and the page it stopped on was the AI Smart Encyclopedia.
