Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Sister-in-law is Good (Ten Updates)_1

The boys around you widened their eyes as they saw the person in the car, and Zhang Zhaoyuan hurriedly picked up his camera to take several continuous shots of Xian Qianling dressed in her stylish outfit.

Xian Qianling didn’t pay any attention to Zhang Zhaoyuan and instead looked at you with a smile, saying, "What’s the matter, is this your reaction upon seeing me?"

"What are you doing here? Don’t tell me there’s been a murder at the school?"

"Crow’s mouth!" Xian Qianling rolled her eyes elegantly and said irritably, "I was supposed to be off today, but early this morning, I got orders from higher-ups to take some newbies to a place called Wu Village. Something strange happened there; several hikers got trapped in the mountains and went crazy after being rescued. I had planned to hand it over to Zhang Zifeng, but that old dude Du Qingming called me early in the morning, insisting that I bring you along, and said explicitly that no one can solve this case without you."

After hearing Xian Qianling say this, you nodded in understanding. That’s more like it, you had actually thought Du Qingming wanted you to accompany these people on a camping trip.

"Alright, get in the car, Wu Village is far from Yuhang City."

Just as you were about to get in the car, a minivan drove up. You were too familiar with the license plate, and upon looking at the passengers, hmm?

Zong Wangyue!

"Yo, Boss, what brings you here?"

You glance at the passenger seat, and Jin Qi waves at you.

"You took out the club car; don’t tell me you’re planning to take them on a camping trip?"

Zong Wangyue nodded with a smile, "Yep! Boss guessed right. Miss Xu placed an order, a hundred thousand for one day. Of course, I took such a good deal."

Since it was a task from the Chu Sect, it definitely wouldn’t be that simple. You thought for a moment, walked to the side of the car, and whispered to Zong Wangyue, "That Wu Village is not a simple place, you all must be careful. It just so happens I’m going there too, just follow Xian Qianling’s car later."

"Got it!"

Zong Wangyue’s principle has always been "lie down rather than sit if possible," and upon hearing that you were also heading to Wu Village, his face broke into a smile as he nodded profusely. He then honked the horn and shouted to the others, "Brothers and sisters, get in the van!"

After you got into Xian Qianling’s passenger seat, your first reaction was to fasten the seatbelt. Ever since you rode with this crazy woman, you finally kicked the bad habit of not buckling up in the car.

Xian Qianling quickly got on the expressway. When you noticed that there were no police cars following, you couldn’t help asking, "Why are you alone?"

She laughed bitterly and sighed, "Does the criminal police team have any spare hands now, and what good are those rookies at? After receiving the call from Du Qingming, I felt something was off about this place and assigned them to Zhang Zifeng. Besides, aren’t you capable of taking on ten at once? If it really comes to it, we can call a few local police officers over to act as laborers."

"You really think I’m all-capable, huh?" you rolled your eyes at her.

The crazy woman sped at 160 on the expressway while stretching out her hand to pinch your face, "At least in my eyes, you are."

Hearing her say that, you really didn’t have anything else to say, just lying back in the seat and closing your eyes to rest.

Yuhang, Longgang Town, Grand Canyon — normally a journey of over two hours, this crazy woman, Xian Qianling, actually took just an hour and ten minutes!

What made you even crazier was that Zong Wangyue, the dead fatty, also managed to follow the entire way.

The car stopped in the parking lot of the Grand Canyon scenic area. Zong Wangyue jumped out of the car and gave Xian Qianling a thumbs-up, saying, "Captain Xian is so cool!"

Then, Xian Qianling suddenly pulled out a pistol from her waist, pressed the muzzle against Zong Wangyue’s forehead as she walked up to him.

"Captain Xian, I... I didn’t do anything."

"Come on, call me ’sister-in-law’ and let me hear it."

"Ah?" Zong Wangyue glanced at Yuhang, who was fetching a backpack from the trunk of the car, his eyes darting mischievously before he shook his chubby face ingratiatingly and said, "Nice to meet you, sister-in-law."

"Hmm, not bad. From now on, that’s what you’ll call me. Otherwise, I’ll hand over footage of you speeding at 200% to the traffic police, and you can look forward to having your driver’s license revoked."

"Hehehe, sister-in-law, I am your most loyal supporter, oh no!"

As you walked over, you kicked Zong Wangyue’s butt and turned to Xian Qianling, "Stop scaring people with your broken toys. Let’s go. I just checked the GPS and from here to Wu Village we have to hike. It would take an ordinary person three hours to walk there, and with these people behind us, who knows how long it’ll actually take."

Out of the nine in the group, besides yourself and Xian Qianling, you had little confidence in the rest.

Leaving the Grand Canyon behind, you initially followed a winding path north.

You had thought the mountain path would be deserted, but along the way, you encountered many hikers and donkey carts from nearby villages. On hearing your mention of Wu Village, they all advised against going there, claiming the place was cursed by the Mountain God and on the verge of destruction.

Initially, you thought that the group of five led by Zhang Zhaoyuan would be scared off by these warnings, but to your surprise, they became even more intrigued by Wu Village.

The hike started off well enough, with everyone in high spirits and no one complaining of fatigue.

But after an hour, Xu Jiao began to falter, "Chairman Li, Li, can we take a break? We’ve been walking for over an hour."

Born and raised a pampered rich girl, this was Xu Jiao’s first long journey. Seeing her weary face, you nodded and said to the others, "Let’s find a place to rest for a bit, we’ll continue in ten minutes."

Everyone sat down on a clean patch of grass, and you had just settled yourself and taken a couple of sips from your water bottle when Xian Qianling reached out to you, "Give me."

"Ah, what?"

"Water," she said.

Xian Qianling, seeing your bemused expression, took the bottle from your hand without waiting for a reply and began to drink casually.

"Click!"

Zhang Zhaoyuan captured Xian Qianling’s drinking pose with his camera.

Along the way, these two photography enthusiasts, clearly brimming with energy, incessantly snapped photos of whatever they deemed beautiful, and Xian Qianling naturally became one of their subjects.

"Zhang Hua, you must be tired too, have some water."

Hu Jiahui took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to Zhang Hua, who was sitting not far away and hadn’t been talking much.

"Zhang Hua, drink mine," said Xu Jiao, offering another bottle of mineral water to Zhang Hua, who took it graciously from her hand and thanked her, "Thanks."

"No need to be polite, we’re classmates after all."

Hu Jiahui awkwardly retracted his hand when his bottle of water was snatched away mid-handover by Zong Wangyue, who found the mountain trek exceedingly challenging despite the cold winter, sweating profusely.

Zong Wangyue pulled Hu Jiahui by the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Listen, Comrade Hu, you don’t know how lucky you are. Miss Xu is a well-known dream catch in our circles. You’d be surprised to know how many rich and dashing suitors she has – entire companies and platoons, even. Though I’ve no clue what she sees in you, you should be content. Otherwise, one day, you might regret it."

Hu Jiahui glanced at Xu Jiao, who had her eyes on him, sighed softly, and remained silent.

Feelings are indeed hard to articulate.
