Love You Till the End-Chapter 960 - 959: Nothing Serious, Right?

After pulling the curtains, Xiao Chen’s shadow gradually disappeared. It looked like he had left the window, and since the sofa was some distance from the window, it was impossible to see what was happening inside.

Xiao Chen’s actions gave Qin Shaobai a sense of foreboding.

"Does Xiao Chen know your true identity?" he asked gravely.

"No," Qi Jingren replied, "My brother has sealed all the information; ordinary people can’t find out who I am."

"Alright then," he said, pulling her out onto the rooftop, "Go knock on the door of 2301 in the building across the street. If someone opens it, say you got the wrong room. If no one opens it, call me. I’ll wait for you at the stairwell."

Qi Jingren was silent for a moment before saying, "Do you think there’s a bigger chance that no one will open the door..."

"The recent deals Xiao Chen has made are all shady," Qin Shaobai said with rare seriousness on his face.

"Alright, I got it."

The two of them went to the elevator on the opposite floor. Qi Jingren took a deep breath and pressed the button for the floor. Qin Shaobai observed her, noticing that she seemed a bit nervous.

He smiled and reached out to adjust her collar.

"Don’t go back to Ciaos later. I’ll take you home. Get an early night, and I’ll take you to lunch tomorrow."

It was clear he was trying to comfort her.

"Do you believe me when I say I’ve assisted the FBI in solving cases?" she said.

"I do," Qin Shaobai said sincerely, clutching her hand, "I believe you."

"Then don’t doubt me."

????In the morning, Su Jiuyi was shaken awake by the Housekeeper. Seeing that fierce-looking face, for a moment she thought she was being taken into Hell by the black and white impermanence, being tormented by little ghosts claiming her life.

????"Ah!" she screamed, instinctively shrinking towards the door, her back slamming against the solid door, but she didn’t feel any pain.

????Maybe it was because the person in front of her was quite terrifying.

????"You’re awake?" the Housekeeper asked her.

????"Um... mmhmm." Su Jiuyi marveled inwardly, thinking her oppressive aura was even more formidable than Shi Aoju’s.??

????"Then change clothes and get to work." The Housekeeper glanced over her, "Look at what you’re wearing; anyone who didn’t know better would think it’s a nightclub uniform."

????...She did get it right.

????Su Jiuyi didn’t have time to praise her; she sniffed, putting on a pitiful expression, "Um... sorry, I locked the keys inside. Could you get me the spare?"

????The Housekeeper rolled her eyes at her and asked, "You didn’t sleep in the hallway all night, did you?"

????Su Jiuyi nodded vigorously with a face of despair.

?

????"Poor child," the Housekeeper shook her head, "Wait here, I’ll get it." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

????She had just taken two steps when Su Jiuyi was about to rejoice, but then she turned back, putting on a stern face: "If you lock them in again next time, you’ll sleep in the garden. At least you save on air conditioning."

????Su Jiuyi could only keep nodding.

??With the key in hand, she could finally comfortably lie back in bed. After sitting outside all night, she now felt sore all over, and her legs were still numb. Her brain was blank, her forehead was burning, and Su Jiuyi sniffed, thinking she might be catching a cold.

??

????The Housekeeper had instructed her to gather downstairs in ten minutes. She plugged in her phone and turned it on, but didn’t see any calls or messages from Qi Jingren.

???

????Could something have happened?
