Chapter 91 p1
Ye Qingyu took a bath towel and, wrapping the sleeping Pei the Little Able Cat in it, placed her on the bed.
She first simply wiped away the remaining water droplets on the woman’s body, then dried her long, wet, curly hair, along with the soft and glutinous, fluffy ears on top of her head.
Perhaps the little red panda was really too tired, for her two snow-white, bow-tie-like ears were now slightly drooping, soft and limp.
Then, Ye Qingyu gently turned Pei the Little Able Cat over and, holding the hairdryer, carefully dried the beautiful tail behind the woman’s buttocks.
In the end, Ye Qingyu put the top half of the pajamas on the red panda. Then she was in a dilemma, holding a thin pair of soft pants.
With such a fluffy tail attached behind her, it was really not easy to wear.
As if in response to her thoughts, in her deep and sweet sleep, Pei the Little Able Cat suddenly and lightly swayed her beautiful, nine-ringed tail.
It swayed fluffily in a patch of delicate, snow-colored space, and was quite vivid and alluring.
Ye Qingyu’s breath hitched suddenly.
She stared at it for a long time, and the tips of her ears and her neck gradually flushed red. In the end, she restrainedly looked away and simply placed the soft pants on the bedside table.
She also tidied herself up. Ye Qingyu turned off the lights and, contentedly holding her half-human, half-beast beautiful girlfriend, fell asleep.
Her dreams were clear and sweet.
…
S-City Port.
As summer grew more intense, the weather in S-City became more and more unpredictable.
The sun had been scorching in the morning, but now it was already dark with clouds.
Thunder and lightning roared, and a torrential downpour, all without any warning.
It was as if the mother of heaven was in a great rage and was about to send down punishment on the vicious human world.
Seeing the stormy waves on the sea, the large number of live beasts that were supposed to be shipped overseas were forced to be stranded in the port warehouse.
Inside “Green Bird,” Li Shen stood at the entrance of the main hall and, without any regard, fiercely scolded the subordinate who was in charge of this matter.
Recently, there had first been a large black bear in a bustling area of B-City, which had attracted the high attention of the entire internet and the police; then Zhou Ren had been investigated, and the news had been broadcast nationwide; and now, there was a high-value order that was overdue.
One thing was not going well for “Green Bird,” and everything was not going well.
As the number one, being repeatedly ground down by such bad luck, Li Shen was so worried that his hair had turned white, and his face was also so haggard that he looked as if he had aged several decades.
The public planner and executor of the large black bear incident had already committed suicide out of guilt. Li Shen was busy dealing with the police and had no time for a large-scale investigation and punishment within the organization.
But he knew with his toes which fool had done it.
At this moment, this fool was in a flurry, preparing for his deceased son’s funeral tonight.
Holding a funeral the day before the burial was a tradition of the Li family.
Perhaps it was a certain silent venting and accusation. Li Yuan was unwilling to hold it at the Li family’s old house and insisted on holding it at the port.
Li Shen looked into the main hall and watched his own brother, Li Yuan, commanding his subordinates to arrange the funeral, his eyes gloomy.
Li Yuan had always been reckless in his actions and had no courage. He thought that no matter where he held the funeral, he wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble.
Since it was the pain of losing a son, he would just let him make a fuss this one time.
“Where’s Shen Rendong?” he asked his subordinate.
The subordinate immediately answered, “She went back to the old house for treatment last night.”
Once every three months, it was indeed time for her to go for treatment.
Having personally participated in the persecution of the Shen family back then, Li Shen knew how terrible it was when that poison acted up.
He pulled at his collar in frustration.
The organization was in a dire situation, and all the bad luck was piling up on his shoulders at the same time, and he was filled with resentment and anger. But he could not blame Shen Rendong for temporarily leaving the organization at a critical moment, so as not to tear the final fig leaf.
…
S-City center, the Li family’s old house.
Shen Rendong was wearing a mask and sat in a lower seat.
The head of the Li family had a false affection in his eyes.
“Little Dong has come for treatment again today?”
“For so many years, I have not been able to find a complete cure for you. Little Dong must be blaming your uncle in your heart.”
Hearing this, Shen Rendong unhurriedly took off her mask and deliberately revealed her terrible, rash-covered face.
The sight was so shocking that the usually superstitious head of the Li family’s pupils constricted for a moment, and he barely managed to look away.
Shen Rendong smiled faintly. “How could I blame the head of the Li family?”
“I came over to say that I will not be attending the funeral tonight. With this face in such a state, how can I let bad luck clash with the funeral?” Shen Rendong said.
The head of the Li family had always doted on Li Yuan.
Li Yuan’s son had passed away, and he had indulged Li Yuan in holding the funeral at the port and had even notified the entire Li family to go and mourn.
Hearing this, the head of the Li family’s eyes showed a certain satisfaction. “Little Dong has always been a sensible child.”
Shen Rendong smiled again, and her calm, water-like eyes were deep and dark.
…
Returning to the old and broken little building on the side of the Li family’s mansion, Shen Rendong took out her phone and indeed saw a message from Li Yuan.
Ever since he had taken over her power, this person had been frequently bothering her.
But she had always been very patient and had told him everything she knew, and had handed over her authority one by one.
[What’s the password for the control panel of the east warehouse? We need to transport the live beasts from the warehouse today.]
Shen Rendong replied with a six-digit password and also kindly sent a reminder:
[The east warehouse is full of large and ferocious beasts. The organization’s funds have been tight recently, and they haven’t been fed for several days.]
Li Yuan saw the message, and his brow immediately lit up with joy. [Good.]
[And, the large storage room on the first floor of the main hall…]
The two chatted back and forth for a long while.
No matter what Li Yuan asked for, bit by bit, Shen Rendong had already prepared everything meticulously and comprehensively, and she had handed it over to him without a single question.
Sharpening a sword is not a crime. She will not be stained with a single bit of stench.
Whether a sin is committed has always only depended on the one who uses the sword.
Finally, the conversation ended. Shen Rendong’s expression was indifferent, and she turned off her phone.
With a bzz-bzz, the screen lit up again.
Thinking that Li Yuan still had something to say, she opened it, but the content of the message was unexpected—
[Officer Lin: Miss Shen, is the treatment going well?]
Shen Rendong was slightly stunned.
For the sake of cooperation, she had been in very close contact with Lin Song recently, with frequent text messages and phone calls.
Officer Lin was rigorous and efficient in her work, and she was also concise and simple in her speech, and she would not waste a single word on matters unrelated to business.
Cooperating with her had a certain refreshing and pleasant feeling of working with a smart and upright person, but at the same time, she could also feel the other’s coolness outside of work.
Unexpectedly, Officer Lin had added a hint of human touch today.
Shen Rendong curled her lips slightly and, after a moment’s thought, imitated Officer Lin’s usual tone and replied indifferently:
[Mhm.]
Over there, in the midst of her busyness, Lin Song took a moment to chew over this one word and one punctuation mark.
“Mhm.”
…What does that mean?
Is it a normal reply, or is she annoyed that I’m bothering her?
Why does it feel a little cold?
Lin Song couldn’t help but raise a hand to straighten her collar.
As she was thinking, Officer Lin’s mood was not good, and her even colder expression made the criminal across from her tremble and raise his hands.
“I’ll confess.”
