"I just don’t know which young master of the Gu Family came to pick her up," Zhang Minmin said demurely as she lowered her gaze, adding that comment.
Song Zixin heard this but simply sneered indifferently, "Who else could it be? Probably just another one of her backups."
She had met all the young masters of the Gu Family, and she could recognize them even if they wore masks. However, the person who had just arrived did not seem familiar, and he was definitely not any member of the Gu Family.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Minmin let out a soft ’ah,’ "Ah? But that person didn’t look like a student. Gu Zhiqi is friendly with the boys at school, but surely she wouldn’t be involved with men outside as well..."
As she spoke, Zhang Minmin changed her tune, "Maybe you misunderstood, Zixin. Maybe he’s just a relative."
Song Zixin, annoyed by Zhang Minmin’s words, responded tersely, "Whatever you say."
After that, she quickened her pace and continued walking forward.
Zhang Minmin’s words were laced with insinuations. Although it seemed like she was defending Gu Zhiqi, Song Zixin could tell that every sentence was loaded with implications.
Gu Zhiqi’s green tea personality was irritating, and Zhang Minmin’s white lotus facade was equally annoying. In any case, Song Zixin couldn’t bring herself to like either of them.
"Zixin, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me," said Zhang Minmin, oblivious to Song Zixin’s inner thoughts, as she rushed to catch up with her.
"Miss Gu!" As soon as Gu Zhiqi got into the car, Yun Miao, sitting in the driver’s seat, greeted her excitedly.
Gu Zhiqi nodded at him and then settled into her seat.
Su Yunling followed into the car right after and, once seated, turned slightly to speak to Gu Zhiqi with a questioning tone, "Shall we eat first before catching the flight, is that okay?"
Seeing this, Su Yunling said to Yun Miao, "Let’s go to Shadow Pavilion."
"Alrighty~" Yun Miao cheerfully acknowledged and started the car.
The car began to move slowly, and Su Yunling turned to Gu Zhiqi, "I haven’t asked yet, what’s taking you to Sen City?"
Gu Zhiqi: "To investigate a murder case."
After a few seconds of silence, Su Yunling asked, "You do detective work too?"
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at Su Yunling, speaking in a languid tone, "A supernatural murder case."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunling’s eyes narrowed with interest, "Can I observe?"
Hearing this, Su Yunling slightly curved her lips and subconsciously touched her ring, caressing it delicately.
Seeing that the conversation had halted, Yun Miao, who had been hesitant to speak up, finally found his chance, "Miss Gu, have you studied computer science?"
Gu Zhiqi: "I’ve learned a bit."
The way you were typing on the keyboard yesterday didn’t seem like someone who had only learned a bit.
"Are you sure, just a bit?" Yun Miao asked tentatively.
Yun Miao fell silent, uncertain whether to believe her or not.
After a long pause, he finally spoke again, "But yesterday..."
"Drive your car," Su Yunling interjected nonchalantly, cutting Yun Miao off mid-sentence.
At this, Yun Miao immediately shut his mouth.
Su Yunling turned her head, looking at Gu Zhiqi, "Let’s continue with yesterday’s topic."
Su Yunling calmly picked up her phone from the side, scrolled through it to find two screenshots Fu Xiyan had sent her, and handed them to Gu Zhiqi to look at.
When will this ever end?
"Do you have a grudge against it? Always bringing it up," Gu Zhiqi murmured quietly.
"The cyber-security of the Ever Winning Army is too weak. If you really are Jiu, of course, I would want to curry favor," Su Yunling said smoothly, pausing for a few seconds before adding, "My brother is desperate for talent."
