Chapter 32: Identifying One Person
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Spring passed and summer came. In the blink of an eye, the college entrance examination was in a month’s time. The school allowed the third-year students to relax freely.
With the excuse of helping Xu Lan with her tuition, Yan Si brought her to the villa.
However, just as he was taking off his pants, Xu Lan’s phone rang. She did not care about Yan Si’s dark expression as she tidied up her clothes and went outside to answer the call.
“There’s a tricky case that has to be handled by you.”
The person on the other end of the line went straight to the point.
Xu Lan did not ask about the case. She only asked, “Is it urgent?”
She looked up and saw Yan Si in a sleeping rob, standing in front of the French window on the second floor with a bitter expression.
She averted her gaze and continued, “If there’s no hurry, wait for me for a few days.”
“It can wait. Take a look at the proposal first. I’ll send you an email later.”
Shang Jian did not hesitate. He would never ask about her plans.
Xu Lan put her phone away and glanced at the second floor before returning to her room.
As she entered the porch, she saw Yan Si coming down the stairs from the second floor, a glass of red wine in his hand.
She stopped walking and looked at him apologetically.
His handsome face was still gloomy.
“Is there something you have to do? Are you leaving?”
His voice was cold. It was rare for him to treat her like this.
Xu Lan took a few steps forward and met him with a pure smile.
“No.”
Yan Si stopped at the last step, still afraid to believe it.
Normally, once she had a phone call, she would definitely leave. But now, she said she was staying.
Stunned for a moment, Yan Si’s slender palm caressed her cheek as he leaned closer, his sexy Adam’s apple moving up and down. “Is there something I don’t know about you?”
Xu Lan tilted her head slightly and smiled with her clear eyes.
“Guess?”
The man’s dark eyes were filled with danger at first, but when he heard her words, it gradually turned gentle and devoid of hostility.
Suddenly, he said slowly, “Since there’s nothing else, accompany me tonight.”
The evil smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.
However, Xu Lan raised her finger and pressed it against his lips.
“Actually, there’s something I need you to do. I need you to go with me to identify someone.”
The smile on her face disappeared bit by bit, and there was a murderous look on her exquisite face.
Yan Si had no idea what she was up to, but he obediently went upstairs to change.
The two arrived at a beauty salon in Li City within an hour.
When they got out of the car, Yan Si was a little surprised when he saw the name of the store. However, he did not say anything when he saw Xu Lan calmly entering the store.
The clubhouse was not big. It was divided into two floors. Xu Lan went in to find a client named Chen Qiang.
The receptionist took a glance at her and was dawdling when Xu Lan snatched the document away. She quickly read it, threw it back at the receptionist, and headed straight to the second floor.
The corridor on the second floor was very dark, coupled with the decorations and the dark floral prints. Xu Lan found a room along the way and knocked on the door.
The person inside heard it and immediately opened the door.
“Who are you looking for?”
The person who opened the door was a woman in her 40s. She had short curly hair and heavy makeup, looking like an ancient madam.
“Chen Qiang.”
Xu Lan did not waste her breath and pushed her away.
In the room, the smell of smoke was strong and the light was unclear.
Xu Lan frowned and fanned herself before switching on the lights.
Instantly, the room fell into a deathly silence.
At this moment, Yan Si pushed the woman aside and walked in.
The people sitting on the sofa all looked straight at Xu Lan. Only one person slowly got up.
“What are you doing here?!”
Xu Lan took two steps forward and smiled as she looked at Xu Yan, who was a little uneasy.
Staying with Chen Qiang could only prove one thing.
The photo on the school forum had been posted by her!
“Your men found him last time, right?”
Xu Lan turned around and asked Yan Si.
He had his hands in his pockets and immediately pulled them out to wrap around her shoulders.
“Of course.”
The man who was smoking on the sofa extinguished his cigarette and stood up slowly.
Even though Chen Qiang had never met Yan Si before, from his attire and disposition, he knew that he could not afford to offend him.
At this moment, Xu Yan realized the severity of the situation, and her nervous gaze met Yan Si’s.
