Li Chonglou offered some words of comfort, but a reminder was still necessary.
"So, don't think he stays in there all the time. If he really wants to investigate something, it'll only take him minutes," Li Chonglou added.
Zhou Tong finally understood, his expression turning serious. "No wonder he always had countermeasures whenever I barely mentioned something. So he had already investigated it beforehand."
Li Chonglou stood up. It seemed Zhou Tong had let down his guard regarding Du Tian, meaning he wouldn't get any useful information if he asked now.
"Alright, for the next couple of days, you should pay more attention to his movements, especially his subordinates. Once Sen Lang and the other one are back, tell them to cooperate."
Zhou Tong asked doubtfully, "Are those two capable enough? Chen Pao and the others didn't notice anything unusual when they were there."
"They just lacked prior warning and didn't pay attention. Although the Sen Lang brothers are a bit weaker, they have entered a realm of cultivation. As long as they are vigilant, it should be fine."
Li Chonglou paused at this point and said earnestly, "Remember, even if you discover something, don't act rashly. Inform me immediately."
"Don't worry, I understand," Zhou Tong replied, nodding seriously. He was even more anxious about this matter than Li Chonglou, as he was just an ordinary person, and even with the protection of the Sen Lang brothers, nothing could be guaranteed completely safe!
Seeing this, Li Chonglou patted his shoulder.
After chatting for a while longer, they both returned to their respective rooms to rest. It wasn't until noon the next day that Li Chonglou stretched and got out of bed.
"This feeling of sleeping until I wake up naturally is truly wonderful."
Li Chonglou, who hadn't experienced such days for a long time, couldn't help but sigh. After a simple wash, he stood by the window.
His room was on the highest floor of the entire company. From this vantage point, he could see most of the area. Although it was already noon, the weather in Shangjing was mostly overcast.
Therefore, all he could see was a hazy expanse.
At this moment, a small white figure darted onto his shoulder. Li Chonglou turned his head and saw Xiao Bai looking at him with a look of resentment.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't want this either. Who knew there would be an accident just when we were about to leave?"
He had originally intended to take Xiao Bai away from Shangjing to explore two other lost lands, but an important call from Elder Tie successfully made him stay in Shangjing again.
And now, because of the bet, it would be delayed for at least three to four more days.
Xiao Bai lowered its cute little head with a hint of grievance. Li Chonglou felt a surge of tenderness and couldn't help but pat its head.
"Don't worry, I'll take you with me this time. After we get back, I'll have you be a bodyguard."
When Xiao Bai heard the first part, its eyes clearly flashed with anthropomorphic joy, but after hearing the last few words, its expression immediately changed.
Its demeanor was faster to change than that of a little woman!
Li Chonglou said with annoyance, "If you think you can't be a bodyguard, then after we get back, I'll find someone to take you out of China, give you freedom?"
Xiao Bai immediately shook its head frantically, as if afraid it would be abandoned if it shook too slowly!
Only then did Li Chonglou smile heartily and pat its furry head again. Poor Xiao Bai didn't understand human manipulation, and was completely controlled by Li Chonglou.
After his lament, thinking he had nothing to do, Li Chonglou decided to visit an unexpected person.
The reason it was unexpected was that even he himself hadn't expected it; it was entirely a sudden whim.
At the Yi'an Branch Bureau, Li Chonglou sat opposite Lin Qianqian, calmly sipping tea, while Lin Qianqian stared at him warily.
"Do you really have nothing to say?"
Li Chonglou picked up his teacup and said leisurely, "Really, nothing. Why are you so nervous? I was just passing by and decided to visit."
"I'm nervous? Which eye of yours saw me being nervous?"
Lin Qianqian snorted coldly, then released the crumpled document paper she had been holding and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Since you have nothing to say, finish your tea and leave quickly. I don't want to see you."
Li Chonglou said with some helplessness, "There's no need to rush me away. We are friends, after all."
After the incident at the airport, because Lin Qianqian had taken on so much for him, Li Chonglou had long since put aside the matter of her senior brother and completely let go.
However, it wasn't him who couldn't let go now.
Lin Qianqian rolled her eyes. "You still have the nerve to say that? Tell me, when have you ever come to see me without something big happening? And each time it's bigger than the last!"
The more Lin Qianqian spoke, the angrier she became. "I thought the drug manufacturing plant was already outrageous enough for you to stumble upon it, but then there was the airport incident, and the human trafficking you told me about last time."
"You, can't you just stay quiet in Shangjing for a while?"
The person in question was so exasperated that she felt powerless, or rather, she had the will but not the power! She couldn't even bring herself to scold him!
Li Chonglou said helplessly, "As if these things wouldn't exist if I didn't discover them? Aren't I doing a good deed by exposing all these dark deeds?"
Logically, this was true, and it was precisely why Lin Qianqian wanted to scold him but couldn't. There was no reason not to!
But besides logic, couldn't you at least consider my capacity to accept it? Although people are forced to adapt, there has to be a limit to forcing them!
Lin Qianqian remained silent, but internally she was already complaining endlessly.
Therefore, how could she give Li Chonglou, who deserved a great commendation, a good look on her face!
The atmosphere in the office gradually became a little awkward. Li Chonglou, sensing Lin Qianqian's desire to get rid of him, sighed and finally got to the point.
"Alright, it seems you don't really welcome me. I'll just ask one thing and then leave."
See, see what I told you! He definitely came with a purpose! This guy indeed came with something on his mind!
Meeting Lin Qianqian's strange gaze, Li Chonglou felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat.
"Don't overthink it, it's really just a small matter. Didn't you go to the headquarters because of the airport incident? Do you know an old man named Elder Tie there?"
Elder Tie had told him that he first learned about him from Lin Qianqian, which meant Li Chonglou knew they knew each other. However, he still asked like this to confirm it from Lin Qianqian.
Regarding Elder Tie, he had only learned a little from the Dragon Team. As for his true nature, the Dragon Team's words were too alarming, so he wanted to get more information through other channels if possible.
To understand more.
After all, the previous two missions had truly amazed him...
Upon hearing the name Elder Tie, Lin Qianqian immediately froze.
