Experience exclusive tales on empire
Unfortunately, no tracks were found.
"He's an expert and has already run away."
Lin Chuan frowned; the person who could hide footsteps and escape right under his nose was definitely a Rong Sect expert.
"I thought I could chalk up another accomplishment," Shen Qianqian said regretfully, pursing her lips.
"You should stop thinking about accomplishments all the time; safety is more important than achievements," Lin Chuan couldn't help but remind.
"If that thief really dares to break in, it's not certain who will win or lose!" Shen Qianqian huffed.
"You might not necessarily be able to beat him."
Lin Chuan gave a wry smile, but suddenly, his smile froze on his face, and it quickly turned solemn!
Something was not right!
Why would such an expert knock directly on the door to break in and steal?
Typically, those who use knocking as a means to break in are urgently in need of money, and they usually target luxury neighborhoods.
—Where wealthy people abound, home possessions are more valuable, with gold and silver jewelry, watches, and priceless pieces, each worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
But at Shen Qianqian's place...
Clearly, it was an ordinary neighborhood, and Shen Qianqian's personal attire and lack of accessories wouldn't typically be the target of a Rong Sect expert.
Thinking this through, Lin Chuan's expression grew even more grave.
The person's target was not for money and not for lust; that kind of person wouldn't lack women around him, and it wouldn't make sense to risk breaking in for assault; it was too risky!
So, it could be that they were after Shen Qianqian!
And Shen Qianqian was a criminal police officer. Though she had many accomplishments, most were done together with him.
This means!
The Rong Sect expert was here for me?
Lin Chuan's logic was clear; he deduced step by step, ultimately attributing the source to himself.
Who could be targeting him?
The answer was self-evident!
—The Morgan Group.
"What's wrong with you, you're turning all shades," Shen Qianqian asked with a slight tilt of her head, looking up at Lin Chuan.
Seeing the girl in front of him, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
He had inadvertently brought immense danger to her.
Yet he could give her nothing in return.
Lin Chuan sighed in his heart, opened his mouth, swallowed back the words he wanted to say, and just said, "Qianqian, you need to be more careful about your safety."
Shen Qianqian's expression changed.
Lin Chuan had never said such caring words to her before.
His voice in her ears, why did it sound so pleasant, like the breeze blowing through the willow branches in spring, sweeping across the riverbank in summer, ringing the swaying wind chimes.
"What did you just say?" Shen Qianqian pretended not to hear clearly.
"I said, be extra careful about your safety."
Lin Chuan said solemnly.
Shen Qianqian's face brightened with a smile, her lips slightly pursed, her clear eyes wide open: "Okay, I got it!"
"Then..."
Lin Chuan didn't know what to say.
"Are you going to sit for a while longer?" Shen Qianqian blinked and asked.
Lin Chuan, as if compelled by some force, nodded: "I'll see if anyone else knocks on your door."
"If he dares to come, I'll dare to become a deputy brigade commander tomorrow!" Shen Qianqian huffed, and Lin Chuan agreed to stay a little longer, which made her very happy.
The two returned to the living room.
Although Lin Chuan had experienced many aspects of life, learned many skills, and met many female friends in reality, he had never learned how to break the ice when alone with a woman.
—Except with the Little Landlady.
When alone with the Little Landlady, there was generally no need to break the ice; it was more like breaking down walls.
Shen Qianqian also lacked experience in this area.
So, the two ended up watching a nearly two-hour movie.
It wasn't a romantic movie, but a mystery and deduction genre.
—"Sheep Without a Shepherd."
After watching the movie, Shen Qianqian regretted it.
The movie was good, the plot was great, but it wasn't suitable for the occasion. They should have watched "Titanic," "Roman Holiday," "A Chinese Odyssey," "Flipped," or at the very least, a couple of episodes of "Romance in the Rain," which had more kissing scenes and cheesy lines, apt for two people.
'Shen Qianqian, what are you thinking!'
'Thank goodness you didn't watch those movies with Lin Chuan, or what silly thing might you have done!'
Suddenly, a voice in Shen Qianqian's heart stopped her.
Lin Chuan, on the other hand, seemed somewhat obtuse.
His main intention was to stay and see if the Rong Sect expert dared to act again; if he appeared once more, Lin Chuan was confident he could take him down directly!
Ding, Shen Qianqian achievement +1!
Regarding the movie's plot, Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian shared: "The montage technique, Li Weijie did a great job, and the sheep's acting was also good."
"Yeah, right!" Shen Qianqian responded half-heartedly.
"That person probably won't act anymore, I should head back, please be careful," Lin Chuan reminded again.
"I'll walk you out," Shen Qianqian stood up and said.
"Then you'll have to come back alone, just in case there's danger..." Lin Chuan gestured as he walked towards the door.
"Right!"
Lin Chuan walked to the door and gave one more piece of advice, "Remember to lock the door, and if someone knocks, don't open it carelessly."
"Don't worry! I'm a police officer, not a little girl!" Shen Qianqian said with a beaming smile, not too concerned about her own safety.
She was confident that even if she faced that person alone, she could get away unharmed.
Just that Lin Chuan didn't know about her progress during this period.
He still thought of her as the Officer Shen he met at the beginning.
Lin Chuan walked out the door, took the elevator down, and hailed a taxi outside the neighborhood.
The autumn night breeze was cool.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from Shen Qianqian's place to Linjiang Mansion; he soon arrived home.
"Chairman, you're back?"
As soon as Lin Chuan entered the door, the Little Landlady came up to meet him, affectionately wrapping her arms around him.
