Chapter 19: Chapter 19 The Terrifying Woman

"You never expected Xian Qianling to pull this stunt, what does it mean not to leave her sight?"

Isn’t that the same as round-the-clock, 24-hour surveillance?

No way, absolutely not!

"Chief Xian, we had already agreed that I would only help you find clues; everything else is none of my business. Besides, I’m not even part of your staff, so why should I listen to everything you say?"

Xian Qianling’s lips curled into a sinister smile. She suddenly leaned close, and amidst a seductive scent of orchids, whispered into your ear, "I’ve thoroughly investigated your files. If you don’t want me to accuse you of kidnapping or molesting women, you’d better listen to me."

Terrifying!

In the instant your eyes met hers, you felt as though the light in her eyes was about to devour you.

You never imagined Xian Qianling would investigate you, and now that she held your fate in her hands, you were just unlucky.

But you were never someone to be easily trampled upon. To escape Xian Qianling’s clutches sooner, you said, "I don’t have much time to delay either. How about I go with Chief Zhang to keep an eye on Liang Ying?"

"Surveillance is a specialized craft; your presence would only be a hindrance."

Xian Qianling no longer paid you any attention but ordered the scene to be cleaned and the victim’s body to be removed.

Once downstairs, you and Zhao’er got into Xian Qianling’s car.

Leaving the residential area, Xian Qianling drove in a southwest direction.

After a short drive, Xian Qianling suddenly asked, "I remember you were admitted to the Faculty of Humanities; which department are you in?"

"Department of Cultural Heritage and Museology."

"That’s quite niche. Why would you study that?"

"Can I not answer that?"

"Sure."

Afterward, the three of you fell silent again in the car. To be honest, such an atmosphere made you feel even more uncomfortable, so with a bit of resignation, you said, "There’s been a curse in our family. All direct male descendants die before the age of twenty. Though I’ve thought it nonsensical since I could understand it, it has always been somewhat of a concern, so I chose this department to learn more about it."

Xian Qianling glanced at you through the rearview mirror, "This curse... did it really happen?"

"My dad, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, none lived past twenty."

"Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that."

You shrugged, smiling nonchalantly, "It’s okay, I’ve been called fatherless since I was a child, and I’m used to it."

"You’re... eighteen this year, right?"

"Yes, I just had my birthday."

You didn’t want to share too much of your personal matters; your relationship with Xian Qianling was purely professional and would soon diverge since you were from different worlds.

"Let’s go to the provincial hospital for a check-up tomorrow."

"There’s no need, I’m very healthy. When curse struck my father, he was physically stronger than most. It’s fate, it has nothing to do with physical function, and there is no hereditary illness in our family."

Saying this only made the atmosphere heavier. You turned to Xian Qianling, "Chief Xian, put on some music."

"Alright."

The car’s sound system was quite good, and soon a melodious tune filled the space...

After a few songs, Xian Qianling drove into a high-end residential area.

"What is this place?"

"This residential area is just across the river from the West Lake Campus. I bought a duplex here; it will be more convenient for you to go to school from here rather than stay in the dorms."

"No way?"

You almost jumped out of your seat; what exactly was Xian Qianling up to!

"What are you trying to do?"

Seeing your astonished look, a sly smile appeared on Xian Qianling’s refined face, "Didn’t I say it before? You are a crucial tool for solving cases. As long as it benefits the people, I, Xian Qianling, cannot shirk my responsibility."

"Jeez... ah!"

You painfully covered your head; this woman was too scheming!

God Buddha Tathagata, isn’t there anyone who can tame her?

Then she added, "One more thing, although I can’t trace Zhao’er’s background, everyone can see your relationship is special, but she still doesn’t even have an ID. What will she do after you go to school?"

"I..."

"You were going to say you have a way to get her an ID and then keep her in a golden house outside the school, weren’t you?"

You avoided eye contact with this woman.

"Don’t worry, I won’t pry into your relationship, nor will I interfere with your normal life. All you need to do is help me unconditionally when I need it. Remember, you’re not just helping me, you’re helping the vast majority of the populace."

Hearing this lofty speech, you rolled your eyes, not even bothering to retort.

In the end, you could only submit to her authority, taking Zhao’er with you as she led you upstairs.

When Xian Qianling opened the door, a faint fragrance wafted towards you, pleasant yet indescribable.

Looking down, huh? There were three shoe cabinets at the entrance, each stocked with different styles of shoes.

Soon, the sounds of two girls’ crisp and charming laughter echoed through the room.

What?

There were other people living here, and they were girls?

Seeing you turn around, Xian Qianling casually said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there are two other people living here, one of whom you might recognize."

Yes, of course, you recognized them just by the sound of their voices.

You couldn’t stay here long!

Thinking this, you immediately took Zhao’er by the hand and turned to leave.

"Sister Ling is back!"

Just as you turned, a voice as clear as an oriole rang out behind you, while Xian Qianling grabbed your collar and forcibly pulled you back.

"Wow, what a beautiful person!"

With an exclamation, you turned and saw a girl who looked as cute as a porcelain doll standing before you.

Your gaze drifted slightly downward—no peeping!

Oh, dear God, True God Allah!

"Hey, where are your weird eyes looking? Can you restrain yourself a bit?"

The girl in front of you placed her hands on her hips, her ample bosom captivating.

Caught in the act, you felt somewhat embarrassed and greeted her with a smile, "Sorry, I got distracted for a moment."

"Hmph!"

The girl had a similarly exquisite face, her hair tied in double ponytails, looking both cute and mischievous. She wore a Hello Kitty nightgown with lace, reflecting her childlike taste.

The girl clearly wanted nothing to do with you. She walked over to Zhao’er, took her naturally hanging hand, and said with a sweet smile, "Hello, sister, I’m Lin Panxia, and I’m delighted you’re joining our Ladies’ Home."

To your surprise, instead of whisking Lin Panxia’s hand away, Zhao’er responded, "Hello, I’m Zhao’er, it’s nice to meet you."

Zhao’er’s speech had become much more fluent!
