Chapter 459: Flirting

Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Flirting

Jiangli walked out of the police station with Lin Yurong, and seeing the harsh sun outside, she first placed Lin Yurong into the Soul Nurturing Talisman to prevent her from getting injured.

"Boss Fu, shall we go have something delicious?" Jiangli put away the Soul Nurturing Talisman and asked Fu Shiyan like a longing kitten, her eyes gleaming at the thought of tasty food.

Fu Shiyan laughed, "Sure, let’s go now."

Xia Xin had been hungry for a while and was excited to hear this, immediately scampering after them without a second word.

Following the old ancestor meant they didn’t have to worry about food and drink!

...

While Jiangli and Fu Shiyan were indulging in a hearty feast, the police station was still in a state of chaos.

Xun Tianhai took Lin Yaozu, who had calmed down, to identify the body. When Lin Yaozu saw Lin Yurong’s skeletal remains, he burst into tears again.

Meng Hongyao, who had finished embellishing the corpses, frowned and questioned life itself as she asked Xun Tianhai, "Are boys so fond of crying these days?"

Xun Tianhai gave a cough, casting a cautioning glance at her, "He’s still young; don’t let him hear you."

Meng Hongyao, expressionless, stripped off her gloves, "I’m done with you all. The bodies here have all been beautified by me, arrange them yourselves, I have to go on an errand."

Xun Tianhai paused, "You have an errand?"

"Yeah," Meng Hongyao said, "I picked a task from the forum that requires me to travel out of town."

Within the Unusual Affairs Management Office, there is an official forum where some patrons in trouble seek help, which, to the staff of the Unusual Affairs Management Office, amounts to tasks.

They can select tasks at will.

For tasks that no one takes within a set time, the system will assign them randomly.

People inside the Unusual Affairs Management are accustomed to this.

Usually, Xun Tianhai couldn’t care less about these matters.

But this time, for some reason, he remembered what Jiangli had said earlier.

He became a bit wary, "Going out of town, could it be unsafe?"

Meng Hongyao’s movements halted while taking off her gloves, "What do you mean?"

"Hongyao, have you forgotten what the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple said this morning?" Xun Tianhai reminded her.

Meng Hongyao’s eyes flickered, clearly having forgotten about it.

She had been so busy beautifying various corpses all morning that she had completely forgotten about it.

Hearing this, she didn’t think too much, "It’s fine, I’ve just taken an ordinary task to make up the numbers; nothing will happen."

Xun Tianhai was still somewhat worried, "Really?"

Meng Hongyao found it a bit amusing, "Didn’t Director Xun used to trust no one but himself? What’s going on, you’ve changed?"

Xun Tianhai choked on his words, "Forget it, do whatever you want."

"Don’t worry," Meng Hongyao, knowing he was just concerned for her, patted his shoulder, leaned in, and gently blew into his ear, "I’ll bring more life-saving items, I won’t die."

Having said this, she quickly retreated before Xun Tianhai could blow up, her expression turning cold.

Even when she was flirting with him just now, her face showed no emotion.

She set her gloves aside, gesturing dismissively to him; then Meng Hongyao stepped away.

Xun Tianhai was left helplessly nonplussed, as he knew Meng Hongyao’s true nature; all that flirting and closeness were just an act.

Meng Hongyao had never cared about anyone or anything.

Thinking of this, Xun Tianhai sighed again.

...

The most luxurious restaurant in the center of H City.

Jiangli, Fu Shiyan, and Xia Xin had just finished an over-the-top meal—more specifically, it was Jiangli who had eaten excessively.

Xia Xin already knew the old ancestor could eat a lot, but Jiangli’s appetite surprised him every time.

He couldn’t understand where the old ancestor got such a huge appetite, talking about fasting but eating profusely every time.

That was simply not the amount a normal person would eat.

Xia Xin was quite curious as to where all the food that Jiangli ate was going.
