Sweetie nodded. She looked at Ling Yue carefully for a few moments, feeling that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, and might even become her colleague in the future. So she took out her phone from her pocket and said with a smile, "Hello, can I add you on WeChat? You can contact me if you need anything in the future."

"My name is Wu You, you can call me Xiao You."

"Sure, my name is Ling Yue, you can also call me Xiao Yue."

Ling Yue figured she was about the same age as her, and calling each other by name would feel more intimate.

Perhaps because the commotion here was a bit loud, Qin Jianshe, Chu Ping, and Su Shiming walked over.

Seeing Qin Jianshe looking like a cat with its tail between its legs, Wu You quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Greetings, Dean!"

"What happened?"

Qin Jianshe really seemed like a different person; he was extremely serious at the moment. The bosses really are all chameleons.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Little Flower was running around and got tangled up with Miss Ling. But I've already told it that it won't run around like that again!"

Pet hospitals have a wide variety of pets, so this kind of situation really causes a lot of trouble for customers. No wonder Sweetie is so scared. Will there be any punishment?

Ling Yue quickly explained, "It's nothing serious, Xiao You has already taken Xiao Hua away, hehe."

"Go and receive your punishment yourself."

Qin Jianshe's words, spoken in a very calm tone, startled Wu You, who quickly protested, "Dean, Xiao Hua really knows she was wrong, please forgive her this time."

Qin Jianshe glanced at Wu You and said, "This is none of your business. It didn't say anything itself. Go back to work."

The little snake darted away with a whoosh, disappearing far away in the blink of an eye—it was incredibly fast!

Ling Yue subconsciously rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.

The little snake, which had slithered a long way, stopped, stared straight at Ling Yue, flicked its tongue, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wu You also quietly slipped away, pointing to her phone and indicating to Ling Yue that they could contact each other via WeChat later.

Ling Yue nodded at her.

Qin Jianshe then said quietly, "When you come here, it's best not to wander around, or people will die."

Ling Yue glanced at his eyes; they were sinister and didn't seem like he was joking.

"Ha, I wouldn't come even if you begged me to come to this lousy place."

"Tell me the truth, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs was shut down, wasn't it? So you had no choice but to turn this place into a pet hospital?"

Qin Jianshe glanced at Ling Yue and Su Shiming, then hesitated.

"These two brats are my men, my own people."

Qin Jianshe seemed to have put his concerns aside, and then slowly said, "Times have changed. Now it's the internet age, so we can only be more cautious and discreet."

"What about Old Li and the others? They're not old enough to retire yet, are they?"

"The government stipends aren't easy to come by these days. Everyone's out taking on missions. I was supposed to have a mission too, but since you're here, I had to rush back to see you!"

Ling Yue was starting to wonder if Chu Ping had also worked at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs back then.

Before getting into the car, Qin Jianshe kept telling Chu Ping to come often, and Ling Yue realized that if she didn't ask the question in her heart now, she would never have another chance.

He quickly asked, "Dean Qin, hello. I'd like to ask what your relationship is with Qin Jianguo, or Master Qin?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianshe's expression darkened, and he replied, "I don't know him!"

Then he turned around and went back to the pet hospital.

This old man has a really strange temper. Apart from Chu Ping, I've never seen him give anyone a kind look.

The three ghosts planned to take a car back home. Along the way, Su Shiming asked Chu Ping a lot of questions about the pet hospital.

"Master Chu, are you able to talk to the pets at this veterinary hospital?"

"Or to put it more bluntly, do you recognize them all?"

Chu Ping flicked his wavy hair and sneered, "How could I possibly know them all? There are only a few, and they're not the kind of pets you're talking about."

Ling Yue also became curious, "What are they? That little flower snake was wrapped tightly around my ankle, it almost scared me to death!"

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

"It's an honor for you to be entangled by Little Flower. It's a cold-blooded animal that has cultivated for a hundred years."

"A hundred years of cultivation? Wouldn't that make them a spirit?!"

Su Shiming almost ran a red light in his excitement, and slammed on the brakes. Chu Ping glared at him, and he immediately fell silent.

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

"Qin Jianshe has countless cats, some over a thousand years old. The little white cat you saw today is one of them."

Su Shiming: ...

Ling Yue: ……

The two were so shocked they couldn't even close their mouths.

The pet hospital, which is actually the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, is indeed not simple. Ling Yue couldn't help but wonder if Wu You, the sweet girl who greeted her, also had some hidden abilities.

A WeChat notification sounded, and Ling Yue glanced at it; it was a message from Jing Yucheng.

Jing Yucheng: Baby, these are the birth dates and times of the maid who hanged herself.

In addition, the police have confirmed that the maid did indeed commit suicide, and they intend to close the case with this outcome.

Ling Yue: ? ? ? !!!

Isn't this too hasty...?

Are you home?

Can I come to see you now?

Ling Yue felt that the maid could not have committed suicide. To find out the reason, she had to start from the scene of the incident. She had already accepted a task to find the ghost on the Ghostly Talisman, which cost her a full ten merits!

"Red Hair, find a place where you can easily hail a taxi and drop me off. I have things to do, you guys go back first."

Su Shiming didn't ask anything, just nodded to indicate that he understood.

Chu Ping glanced at Ling Yue and said, "Your husband is quite interesting. When would you like to have a drink together?"

Is Chu Ping praising Jing Yucheng? That must be interesting; he's a really, really, really good person!

"Sure, sure, I'll be going now, bye-bye~"

Ling Yue quickly hailed a taxi.

The driver seemed hesitant after he had just completed the registration process.

"Young lady, that's quite far. Let's make it clear beforehand, there will be extra charges if it's outside the city limits!"

Ling Yue was a little anxious, so she didn't say anything.

To her surprise, what should have been a half-hour journey took her more than forty minutes by taking a detour.

Ling Yue then took a closer look at the driver's face, and what she saw shocked her.

When paying the bill, Ling Yue kindly reminded him, "Master, I suggest you go to Baiyun Temple to pray as soon as possible, or go to a bar called Ghostly World for a drink."

The driver was completely confused, but he couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't something nice to hear.

"Hey young lady, why are you using such roundabout ways to insult people at such a young age!"

Ling Yue didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the Jing residence.

The driver spat, lit a cigarette, and said, "This young lady may be rich, but she has no manners!"

Ling Yue hadn't taken two steps when she looked up and saw Jing Yucheng already waiting at the villa entrance.

She said Jing Yucheng was the best!

So I happily ran over and gave him a bear hug!

"I thought you went to work! Have you been home the whole time?"

Jing Yucheng took Ling Yue's hand and said with a smile, "Such a big thing has happened at home, I'm afraid Grandpa won't be able to handle it, so I'll work in the study."

The two of them talked as they walked.

"Jing Yucheng, how much do you know about Mr. Qin who came to your house today? Does he have any younger or older brothers? He looks to be in his forties or fifties."

Jing Yucheng immediately replied with a smile, "The Qin family is famous for having many offspring. He has too many older and younger brothers. I wonder which one you are referring to?"

Ling Yue: ……

"Could you ask Qin Jianshe what his relationship is with him?"

Afterwards, Ling Yue told Jing Yucheng everything she had seen and heard at the pet hospital without reservation.

"How about it?"

"Don't you think the world is so big and full of wonders!"

"I feel like there must be even more amazing people there! It's really full of hidden talents, the national team is just different."

"I'm very curious, what exactly is this mission they're talking about?"

"Do you think our business might conflict with theirs? Could we be competitors?"

Ling Yue kept talking and didn't even notice when someone brushed past her. Jing Yucheng, on the other hand, reacted quite strongly, putting his arm around her shoulder and pressing her head down into his chest.

Ling Yue was completely confused. "W-what's wrong?"

"It's okay, a piece of trash just flew by, I was afraid it would dirty your eyes."
