Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Chance Encounter with Niu Rang 5 in S Province

"Okay." He Teng nodded and warned, "Don’t let anyone know that you’re acquainted with him and in the same city. Try to minimize contact. Since he often goes to those kinds of places, you should never go there again! Avoid meeting him if possible!"

"I understand what you mean, don’t worry, I definitely won’t cause trouble for Niu Rang." Although He Teng didn’t say it directly, He Zhilan knew it was probably what he meant. Then she casually asked, "Have you already guessed what Niu Rang’s mission might involve?"

He Teng agreed in a low voice, but he didn’t tell He Zhilan what he had guessed, nor did he discuss more about Niu Rang with her.

In fact, aside from worrying that He Zhilan’s presence might bring trouble to Niu Rang, He Teng was also concerned that Niu Rang might bring danger to He Zhilan.

The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, He Zhilan urged He Teng to go rest.

At the hotel, after hanging up the phone, He Zhilan went straight to take a shower and then to bed. Meanwhile, He Teng kept thinking about Niu Rang as he headed home.

In fact, when Niu Rang hadn’t returned to the army for a long time, He Teng had already thought that Niu Rang’s mission might involve going undercover, otherwise there’s no other task that would keep a soldier away for several months without any investigation response from the army.

When he got home, the first thing He Teng saw was the goldfish swimming around frightened by the sound of the door, but upon closer inspection, his keys fell straight to the floor.

Unknowingly, there were two goldfish floating belly-up in the fish tank. He Teng clearly remembered that when he left in the evening, the fish in the tank were all fine, but now, two were dead?

Bending down to pick up the keys, He Teng casually placed the keys on the shoe cabinet, then scooped out one of the white-bellied little goldfish. Seeing no reaction from the fish out of water, he confirmed it was indeed dead.

He Teng’s first reaction was that since He Zhilan had just left a few days ago and now two fish had died, he couldn’t explain this to He Zhilan!

Yet, He Teng thought, he had been diligently changing the water and feeding them. How could the fish still die?

He Teng was very annoyed, realizing that such small animals are very delicate, and it would have been better to get a more robust pet like a cat or a dog! Easier to keep alive, without needing as much care as children!

Poking the bloated bellied fish, He Teng sighed, silently scooped out the other one as well, walked around the house, then took the keys and went outside. He found a tree downstairs to bury the two dead fish. After burying them, he wondered how he would explain the disappearance of the two fish when He Zhilan returned.

Eaten by a cat? Obviously, this excuse wouldn’t work, because no one in the apartment complex owned a cat.

Finally, He Teng thought, before He Zhilan returned, he would go to the market and buy two similar looking fish. Just like the last time with the plants, quietly replace them unnoticed.

Having made a decision, He Teng then went back upstairs alone, entered his house, and immediately changed the water in the fish tank, fearing the death might contaminate the remaining two fish. After changing the water, He Teng and the two goldfish stared at each other for a few minutes before he fed the goldfish a late-night snack.
