"eting again under such circumstances," the person in the car seed unfazed, rely nodded slightly at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian’s expression changed twice before sitting properly in the car, "What do you want from ?"
Han Chen looked at Luo Qianqian’s calm deanor, bringing a hint of a smile, "It’s been a while, and you seem more spirited?"
"Why, got a problem?" Luo Qianqian’s tone remained unchanged. Not even Han Lei would change her tone if he were here. What a joke? Their words dragged her into this abyss; now appearing again, nothing can change this fact. If not for those words, Luo Qianqian would probably still be a quirky college girl, not anxious about these matters.
Luo Qianqian being kind to them would be a strange thing.
"Tomorrow at five, be here." Han Chen, unfazed by Luo Qianqian’s tone, calmly handed over a card he was playing with, his face serious, "You should know, this is no longer just your issue."
Luo Qianqian wanted to refute, but after seeing the handwritten address on the card, she remained silent for a mont before asking, "Who are you representing to tell all this?"
"? I’m just a ssenger; you won’t see tomorrow." Han Chen looked calmly at Luo Qianqian, "As you guessed, there’s another reason I’m here."
Luo Qianqian didn’t speak imdiately, but raised an eyebrow at Han Chen, waiting for his answer.
"The State Security Bureau contacted you, right?" Han Chen opened with this, not ntioning his own matters.
Luo Qianqian was stunned for a mont, then frowned at Han Chen but saw a knowing look on his face, her anger seeming out of place, "How do you know?"
"Because I ran into their people on the way here." Han Chen stared calmly into Luo Qianqian’s eyes, "Not just you, everyone’s growing, the State Security Bureau is now under the Xu Family’s control."
Luo Qianqian had a look of realization. If it was the Xu Family, she could understand why Huang Ren could treat her with such disdain.
Not to ntion, her identity made these people unable to underestimate her, yet their attitude proved their contempt.
Even their words carried a commanding tone, as if they had her in their grip.
"I wanted to ask, has the Xu Family made any moves lately?" Luo Qianqian asked Han Chen directly.
Han Chen shook his head, "Besides the surface-level transfers, the Xu Family is very low-key, not even attending events like banquets."
"Is that so, what about Xu Xiaoxiao?" Luo Qianqian slightly frowned, puzzled by the Xu Family’s actions.
"Xu Xiaoxiao went abroad." Han Chen looked calmly at Luo Qianqian, then glanced at the ti, "It’s ti for to go, need a ride?"
Seeing Han Chen’s serious deanor, Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, shook her head, naturally opened the car door, and got out. The driver and another got in and drove away.
He Wenyu quickly approached Luo Qianqian, full of concern, "What’s up?"
She handed over the paper she was holding, glanced at it, and smirked, "Tomorrow I have to attend a social event..."
She was puzzled why such matters couldn’t be handled by soone else. She had just co of age!
Luo Xinyue couldn’t be taken, He Wenyu wasn’t suitable, An Hao was out of the question, and the other four were practically invisible, docunted but not officially acknowledged...
"I’m a bit anxious... You can go to such places and call it socializing???" He Wenyu’s face was full of disbelief; those three words represented a place ordinary people couldn’t reach.
"I can only go alone tomorrow." Luo Qianqian seriously looked at He Wenyu, "And I must dress up, carrying nothing unnecessary. Can I not be anxious?" Even if she had intentions, inspections couldn’t be avoided entirely.
But she didn’t have any plans...
If it was related to the Sanctuary Alliance, she truly wouldn’t know what to do...
Refusal was inevitable, but in so people’s eyes, she would be disregarding national survival and duty, an inescapable misunderstanding.
But if it were up to her, she would definitely refuse; she’d never entrust her country’s safety to those people!
As the saying goes, inviting gods is easy, sending them away is hard. Even if they genuinely intended to help, who knew what unreasonable demands they’d make?
After all, with a vast and resource-rich land, in the eyes of outsiders, their country is a coveted prize, not a duck ready to be cooked.
When Elvis arrived to pick them up, he saw the heavy look on Luo Qianqian’s face and was imdiately curious, "What’s up with you? Not rested well? Or do you think I look better than them?"
Looking at the eyes full of concern in the rearview mirror, Luo Qianqian gently shook her head, "No big deal, nothing strange happened these past days, right?"
"Yes." Elvis nodded calmly, "Soone’s been looking for you these past few days, the kind who mooches off als and drinks."
"Huh??!!" Luo Qianqian looked completely surprised and took a while to react.
He Wenyu raised an eyebrow, "Was it the person who helped handle identity information before?"
Luo Qianqian suddenly realized and looked at Elvis, "Was it the principal of our school?"
"It’s the principal’s father." Elvis looked helpless, "The food at ho is almost all eaten by those few old n, yet when asked, they say nothing."
Elder Xiu?
Luo Qianqian was shocked, her mouth agape.
And several old n?
What could this be about...
But shortly after, she’d find out...
As the car pulled to a stop, several elderly gentlen gathered at the door, their eyes shone when they saw the car arriving.
They quickly crowded at the entrance, and Elvis pulled a wry smile as he stopped the car, turned to Luo Qianqian, "We’re really out of drinks at ho, don’t be too generous."
Luo Qianqian nodded quickly, He Wenyu holding An Hao also got a bit nervous, listening to Elvis and Luo Qianqian’s conversation revealing these elders seemingly had significant status?
She’d better be careful and keep An Hao at a safe distance. If you can’t provoke them, at least you can avoid them, right?
Getting out of the car, Luo Qianqian looked at the elderly gentlen around and was stunned, "What are you all doing here?"
"Xiao Qianqian, you’re finally back, do you still have that juice?" Elder Deng rushed forward and grabbed Luo Qianqian’s hand excitedly.
Luo Qianqian turned to look at Elvis, "Do we have any left at ho?"
Elvis calmly shook his head, "What was delivered before is all gone, there isn’t any left at ho now."
Luo Qianqian nodded and turned back to look at Elder Deng naturally, "None left."
Elder Deng looked utterly shocked, then glanced at the car, seeing no luggage, he took two steps back, his face turning pale, "How could this be?"
