Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 119 Really Interesting

Chen Gu smiled at Man Suling, then began searching the room for the good wine hidden by the gorilla. Seeing his behavior, the gorilla knew exactly what the bastard wanted to do and said with smug satisfaction, "I’ve hidden it well, if you can find it, I lose!"Man Suling held up the hem of her dress and, with ladylike poise, walked over to Chen Gu’s side, sniffed with her nose, and pointed in a specific direction.

Chen Gu immediately rushed over, "Thanks a lot!"

The gorilla gritted his teeth, "Such a backstabber, truly a wolf that can’t be domesticated!"

Chen Gu happily left the gorilla’s house with a bag full of vintage wines. On the way, he made a phone call to Qing Ruyan, "What are you up to? I have some ideas about the Atomic Holy Church mission to discuss with you."

Qing Ruyan lived in an apartment arranged by the subdivision, located near the subdivision office. From the outside, it appeared to be an unimposing old building with a secret passageway underneath that led directly to the subdivision.

Chen Gu picked a bottle of fine vintage wine from his spoils and knocked on Qing Ruyan’s door.

She opened the door and was clearly taken aback by the wine in his hand, her face showing a flicker of feigned shyness, "Oh my goodness, coming so late, and with good wine too, you, you, you must be up to something! If you confess, maybe I’ll go along with it."

Chen Gu gave her a glare, "In your dreams!"

"Hmph," Qing Ruyan found it dull immediately, pulled him in, and said, "Talk, what’s the matter?"

Chen Gu laid out his plan and took out every freelance woman’s must-have: the Secret Wand.

Qing Ruyan, of course, knew what a Secret Wand was, having a few herself. She didn’t even glance at it. Instead, her eyes kept sizing up Chen Gu, as if looking for something hidden on him.

"How did you get your hands on this stick?"

Chen Gu had already prepared his story, "Before I joined the Bureau of Mystic Security, I inadvertently witnessed a fight between two professionals. One of them was the owner of this stick, and the other was incredibly powerful, about one zhang and six chi tall, with formidable combat abilities. He easily killed the owner of the stick and then left.

I didn’t dare come out until a while later. That’s when I found this..."

Qing Ruyan asked, "Where was this fight? And why didn’t you report it to the Bureau of Mystic Security afterward?"

Chen Gu truthfully mentioned the courtyard, but he believed that with the gorilla’s skills, the Bureau of Mystic Security wouldn’t find anything if they went now.

"After I joined the Bureau of Mystic Security, I thought about reporting it, but I had some reservations... There are some people in the Bureau who hold prejudices against me, you probably know who they are. I was worried it would cause trouble for nothing—since this wasn’t a crucial clue, I kept quiet about it."

To Chen Gu’s surprise, Qing Ruyan only asked briefly and didn’t press further. Instead, she switched to discussing the Atomic Holy Church mission, "So you want me to pretend to be the President and join you on this... Big Rabbit mission?"hen, what exactly do you want?"

Mei Lixue opened a file in front of her and started working, not even glancing at Chen Gu. She simply pointed to the office door and said, "Remember, you owe me one."

Chen Gu left helplessly. Inside the office, Mei Lixue’s lips curved into a sly, fox-like grin. "How interesting," she murmured.

It was unclear whether she was commenting on the documents in her hands or on Chen Gu.
