Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 69

“Jiang Wanxing, is your brain broken?”

The Chief said irritably, “How could I be the Shadow?”

Jiang Wanxing: “Then it’s me?”

The Chief was about to go crazy. “How could it be you?”

Jiang Wanxing’s tone was full of innocence. “Chief, only the two of us know this secret. If it’s not you, then it can only be me.”

A sigh came from the other end of the phone. “Alright, stop joking. This news definitely didn’t leak from the Top Secret Task Force.”

Jiang Wanxing asked, “Did it leak from the informant then?”

“It is said that this Shadow King is the most resourceful of the Ranger Kings. It’s normal for him to get news of the cooperation between Raymond and Dkaro.” The Chief continued, “Such a figure not standing on the opposite side of the Task Force is a good thing in the end.”

“Oh, that’s good then.” Jiang Wanxing chatted for a few more sentences and hung up.

Then, she threw her phone aside and curled her lip. “Chief, your brain is broken. When you casually told me about this, why didn’t you emphasize keeping it a secret?”

However, immediately after, her expression began to turn grave.

Because she really had leaked this news!

Her seemingly ridiculous judgments on the phone just now were actually an instinctive cover-up for a possible truth!

Jiang Wanxing zoomed in on the screenshot and looked at the time the Shadow King posted, just ten minutes ago!

Which was exactly when she had returned to the bedroom!

“My god, could it really be you?”

Jiang Wanxing looked towards the living room on the first floor, her gaze much more serious, her curiosity instantly climbing to its peak!

Due to her work, she knew much more about the Western Dark World than Mu Qianyu, and naturally knew some things about that Ranger King. Recalling the sniper she encountered while pursuing the Dkaro Hyenas, Jiang Wanxing felt this possibility was increasingly likely!

“But… Su Wuji is a bit too young, isn’t he? That Shadow has been famous for several years; the age doesn’t seem to match.”

Filled with questions, Jiang Wanxing tossed and turned, only feeling a little sleepy very late at night.

But she didn’t go to sleep immediately. Instead, she got up quietly, opened the door, and prepared to go downstairs to have a look.

As a result, when Jiang Wanxing walked down the stairs, she ran right into Mu Qianyu walking up from downstairs.

This kind of midnight encounter was truly awkwardness opening the door for awkwardness, awkwardness had arrived home.

Jiang Wanxing squeezed out a smile and whispered, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Mu Qianyu smiled. “I’m not sleepy yet, just went to see how Wuji was resting.”

Jiang Wanxing said, “Oh, then I’ll go take a look too.”

Mu Qianyu pulled her arm. “No need. Wuji is sleeping soundly. I tucked him in. Let’s all go to sleep early.”

“Oh, alright then.”

Jiang Wanxing was helplessly pulled upstairs by Mu Qianyu, but she didn’t forget to glance downstairs twice.

The rest of the night passed peacefully. Neither Mu Qianyu nor Jiang Wanxing went to find Su Wuji in the middle of the night.

This guy slept until dawn, and none of the stimulating scenes he had anticipated occurred. The two girls seemed to have a strange magnetic field between them, repelling and attracting each other, maintaining a relative balance.

At eight the next morning, Park Yanxi finally returned.

Carrying soy milk, fried dough sticks, and soup dumplings, she opened the courtyard gate quietly.

“I wonder if they did that last night… I have to tell Sister Chiyan this good news.”

Park Yanxi muttered to herself, the smile at the corner of her mouth almost impossible to suppress.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she saw two women and one man sitting side by side on the sofa.

Why is there one more?

Park Yanxi was instantly endlessly astonished!

At this time, Mu Qianyu was still wearing the nightgown, while Jiang Wanxing was wearing the light green T-shirt and training shorts issued by her unit, her pajamas in the military. Su Wuji was still shirtless. Looking at it this way, it seemed like the three of them had slept together and just woken up.

Jiang Wanxing was equally surprised to see Park Yanxi. “Officer Park, why are you here?”

When handling the Sister Fen case before, they had met each other! But at that time, Park Yanxi and Su Wuji acted almost like strangers!

Now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all! Why was Park Yanxi so familiar with this place, as if she had returned to her own home?

Su Wuji felt his head growing two sizes bigger. He said, “Hey, we’re all on the same side. This is actually Yanxi’s place.”

“Ah? Is that so…”

Jiang Wanxing was a bit embarrassed. She had actually moved into Su Wuji’s female friend’s home without greeting the owner! What was this? She felt like she had fallen into a pit of “female rivalry”!

Thinking about it, Major Jiang decided to carry the direct approach to the end and asked directly, “Hey, Su Wuji, is Officer Park your girlfriend?”

Before Su Wuji could answer, she heard Mu Qianyu say, “Sister Yanxi is not Wuji’s girlfriend, but their relationship is closer than family.”

Jiang Wanxing glanced at Mu Qianyu and secretly ridiculed: Why are you in such a hurry to answer? Hurrying to block Park Yanxi’s words?

Park Yanxi smiled. “It’s a long story. I’ve always treated Wuji as a younger brother.”

With these words, two girls seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, while one man sighed unhappily.

“Come, let’s eat. I bought enough breakfast for four people,” Park Yanxi laughed.

At the breakfast table, Park Yanxi listened to Mu Qianyu and Jiang Wanxing recount the ins and outs of last night separately, laughing until tears came out.

Su Wuji ate silently, pinching a dough stick with two fingers. Now that all three girls were here, no one was feeding him anymore.

“Major Jiang, this is actually Wuji’s aunt’s house. Whenever you come to Linzhou in the future, don’t stay in a hotel,” Park Yanxi said. “Just stay here.”

“Okay, thank you, Sister Yanxi,” Jiang Wanxing said. “Don’t call me Major Jiang either; it’s too distant. Just call me Wanxing.”

Mu Qianyu didn’t speak, silently adding a spoonful of soy milk to Su Wuji’s bowl.

At this moment, two luxury cars drove to the gate of the Yunyan Lake Villa area: a Mercedes G-Wagon and a BMW X7.

Qin Guilin got out of the G-Wagon and said to Bai Xuyang sitting in the X7, “Is this it?”

“I had someone inquire at the Hubin Branch. Officer Park lives here. It’s the right place,” Bai Xuyang said grumpily.

He was dragged up early in the morning by Qin Guilin and was feeling unhappy.

Due to some lingering complicated feelings, Bai Xuyang wanted to chat with Jiang Wanxing last night. As a result, not a single message he sent received a reply. He didn’t know what his goddess was busy with last night.

Bai Xuyang opened his phone and looked at his chat with Jiang Wanxing. The last message was from half an hour ago, sent by him, Good morning, Wanxing. What did you have for breakfast?

Still no reply.

However, Jiang Wanxing ignoring him was already the norm. Young Master Bai was accustomed to licking his wounds and didn’t feel too defeated.

“Maybe Wanxing is on some important mission and it’s inconvenient to check her phone,” Bai Xuyang comforted himself in his heart.

Qin Guilin grinned. “Officer Park’s family background is not bad. It’s said that villas in this Yunyan Lake Wetland Park can’t be bought even with money.”

Then, he opened the passenger door and brought out a large bouquet of roses.

Bai Xuyang put his hands in his pockets, his face full of disdain. “When you saw Mu Qianyu, you were mesmerized. As a result, seeing Officer Park, you immediately changed targets. Loving whoever you see, what a scumbag.”

“Both Mu Qianyu and Officer Park fit my aesthetic, but Mu Qianyu has been offended badly by us; it’s impossible to chase her… Might as well switch to an easier target.” Qin Guilin adjusted his tie as he spoke. “I’m not getting any younger. It’s time to produce a good-looking kid for the Qin family. Officer Park is very suitable.”

Bai Xuyang said, “I have a feeling you won’t succeed today. She hasn’t even looked you in the eye.”

Qin Guilin grinned. “Sincerity can split metal and stone. I am willing to move mountains like the Foolish Old Man for Officer Park.”

“Move mountains my ass,” Bai Xuyang spoke the truth. “You only know how to smash with money.”

When they reached the gate of Building 07, Qin Guilin cleared his throat and said to Bai Xuyang, “Xuyang, help me ring the doorbell. Why am I still a little nervous?”

“Nervous my ass.” Bai Xuyang went forward directly and pressed the doorbell.

A few seconds later, Park Yanxi, wearing a white T-shirt, pulled open the living room curtain and walked out.

“Why are you here?” Park Yanxi was a little surprised.

Bai Xuyang pointed to Qin Guilin beside him. “Officer Park, I didn’t come to find you; he did.”

“Hi, Yanxi.”

Qin Guilin straightened his body, holding the flowers, walked up to Park Yanxi, and tried hard to make his eyes look deeply affectionate. “For you.”

Park Yanxi looked down at the flowers, then took a step back and said lightly, “I think I said, I have a boyfriend.”

Qin Guilin laughed. “Yanxi, I asked your colleagues. You are single.”

Park Yanxi said, “They don’t know my personal situation. You should go back.”

Bai Xuyang stood by with his hands in his pockets, showing no intention of helping his brother confess.

“Yanxi, I won’t give up. I’ve never been so moved before,” Qin Guilin said. “I must marry you and take you home.”

Park Yanxi frowned. “Young Master Qin, are your feelings always this rash? You haven’t even spoken a few sentences to me.”

“But even so, I still…”

Before Qin Guilin could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice.

“Yanxi, who is being so annoying this early in the morning?”

It was actually Su Wuji’s voice!

Bai Xuyang and Qin Guilin’s eyes went straight!

Because they saw a shirtless man walking out of the living room, along with two women in pajamas!
