Comprehensive film and television: Qingli
Chapter 487: Return from the Dream (24)
However, Zhu Yan's idea was very beautiful, and it was probably indeed a win-win situation, but Shen Qingli was not planning to make this deal. "It sounds good, but... I don't want to get involved in this mess for the time being."
Shen Qingli seemed to have rejected Zhu Yan, but sometimes, rejection is actually a kind of answer. Although she didn't say anything, she said everything.
Zhu Yan fell into deep thought. Was Chongwu Camp a mess? Did that mean...
"Okay, let's put this aside for now. I heard that a big case happened in your Tiandu recently. I think it's called the Water Ghost Bride Robbery Case, right?"
"Do you think this was done by a demon?"
Zhu Yan didn't expect Shen Qingli to ask such a simple question. After all, it was obvious, but he nodded. "Is there any need to say it? If it's not a demon, how can humans be so elusive?"
Shen Qingli smiled but didn't say anything. She raised her eyebrows and asked the most crucial question, "So what are you going to do? There's still no response. Are you just going to ignore it?"
"Ah... this..."
Zhu Yan was speechless for a moment. To be honest, this kind of thing was never something he could decide. He had a clear understanding of his own position: he was just a thug.
There was no need to think at all, he was just a brick, he could be moved wherever he was needed, so he never asked about these things, and naturally he didn't know what Zhuo Yixuan and the others were planning.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go find Zhuo Yixuan."
Shen Qingli looked at Zhu Yan's eyes, which were clear yet a little stupid, and knew that he knew nothing, so she turned around and went to find Zhuo Yixuan.
At this time, Zhuo Yichen and Zhuo Yixuan still had not made a decision. They were both silent. At this moment, Shen Qingli pushed the door open and walked in.
"Oh, everyone's busy!"
"Boss Shen, why are you here?"
Zhuo Yixuan stood up from his chair in a flash and looked at Shen Qingli with a guilty conscience. There was nothing he could do. He actually didn't want to go to the water ghost case.
But they had just signed the contract not long ago, so this was a typical case of taking money without doing any work. It would have been fine if they hadn't been discovered, but the "creditor" came to their door at this time...
Zhuo Yixuan was a person who would never lie, and coupled with the education he received since childhood, his guilty conscience was written all over his face.
Shen Qingli glanced at him with a half-smile, knowing that he was not being honest. "I heard that there was a big case in your Tiandu, and many people died. What's the matter? Are you not going to take care of it?"
Her tone was neither salty nor bland, and there was no hint of blame, but it made Zhuo Yixuan's heart rise. "No, Boss Shen, you know, that was the Chongwuying case..."
He wanted to struggle a bit, but when he met Shen Qingli's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he sighed in his heart and closed his eyes, "Okay, I just don't want to go. I don't want an evil demon who killed so many people to return to the wilderness and live a normal life."
Shen Qingli didn't say anything, but just shook her head regretfully. It seemed that her previous thoughts were still conservative. The people in this world were much more intolerant of monsters than she thought.
"Are you certain that this was done by a demon? If so, then you should investigate this case thoroughly!"
"Let's see whether it's the demon or the human heart that's evil..."
Zhuo Yixuan wasn't stupid. He could naturally tell that Shen Qingli was talking about the real culprit of this case, not a demon, but a human. However...
Zhuo Yichen saw his brother lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking. He suddenly looked at Shen Qingli and said, "Boss Shen, if you want us to investigate the case, that's fine. But I have a request."
"Let's make a bet. If the culprit behind the water ghost kidnapping case is a demon, you will allow us to kill him directly. If it's a human, we will send him back to the wilderness as required!"
Shen Qingli was speechless. Did he not understand the situation? Or were Zhuo Yixuan and Zhu Yan protecting him too well?
They are now under her command, so naturally, whatever she says goes. How can they have any choice or negotiate terms?
How could they have the capital to negotiate with her, especially such an unequal treaty? If she really agreed to it, she would be crazy!
Of course, that's not the way to say it. If the contract is violated, Zhuo Yichen himself will be fine, but Zhao Wan'er and her brother, it's hard to say...
Shen Qingli directly ignored Zhuo Yichen's brainless words and looked at Zhuo Yixuan, who could really make the decision. "Zhuo Yixuan, Zhuo Yixuan, you don't think so too, do you?"
"I'm telling you, you have no choice. I'll give you a week. If I don't see any results after a week, you'll be waiting for me to collect your bodies!"
After Shen Qingli finished speaking, she flashed back to the pawnshop, leaving the two Zhuo brothers and Zhu Yan, who was following behind her and had not yet had time to say a word, looking at each other in bewilderment.
In the end, Zhuo Yichen was the first to react. He dragged Zhuo Yixuan out and said, "Brother, let's pack up and go investigate. It's all my fault for saying the wrong thing..."
"If it weren't for me, Shen...she wouldn't have..."
Zhuo Yichen felt extremely guilty and thought that he had harmed his brother. He was really a disaster. His brother died to protect him, and now his brother had finally survived, but had to suffer because of him.
However, although he felt extremely guilty in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Zhuo Yixuan was thinking about other things, so he did not notice it at the first time. Instead, Zhu Yan looked at Zhuo Yichen thoughtfully.
Zhu Yan has always been sensitive to emotions, and he doesn't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that Shen Qingli's behavior today seems to have other purposes.
Moreover, the relationship between the two brothers of the Zhuo family seems to be different from before, as if there is something more.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Qingli's behavior. You have to know that Shen Qingli is a great demon. Great demons have their own pride. How could she go back on her word for them?
If it were him from before, he would definitely teach them a lesson!
