The deafening sound of crying left Shen Cang completely numb.
Fortunately, the sound insulation here is decent, otherwise, the folks downstairs would definitely be jumping to conclusions.
But he forgot, the Special Departnt always has a few with exceptionally good hearing.
At this mont, a young guy mysteriously waved everyone over, "Co over quickly, there’s so juicy gossip!"
Hearing there’s gossip, a group of people crowded around.
When there’s no task, they’re just like ordinary people, they love gossip and having fun.
"What gossip? Is it fresh?"
"Quick, share the gossip! Quick!"
"Fresh, absolutely fresh, just hot off the press, haha!"
"Co on, co on, tell us..."
"Alright, alright, don’t rush ! Everyone gather round!"
The young guy lowered his voice, speaking very softly, "Sister Lou is crying in the boss’s office～"
"Hiss!" A few sharp intakes of breath could be heard.
"The boss wouldn’t hit her, would he?"
"The boss isn’t that kind of person!"
"Could the rumors be true..." Soone mumbled.
"What rumors? Is there more gossip? Spill the beans!"
"Quick, quick, quick..."
"It’s hard to say; if it’s not true, I don’t want to be spreading rumors."
"We won’t tell anyone, it doesn’t count as a rumor if we don’t share it."
"We promise not to tell!"
"Well... okay, you all promise, don’t spill it!"
"Alright!"
"No problem!"
"We promise, promise!"
"So... I’ll say it, it’s not really a big deal, it’s just..." His voice lowered even more, "I heard that the boss and Lou Lan have a bit of a love-hate relationship."
"Wow!" A gasp of astonishnt rose.
Everyone took a few steps back, almost unable to believe their ears.
"Is it true?"
"My god!"
"Sister Lou and the boss..."
"Never thought they’d have that kind of relationship!"
"When did they get divorced?"
"No, we should ask, when did they break up?"
"No, you should be asking, when did they start dating?"
"Explosive gossip!"
"Is it safe to share this gossip without getting killed for exposing secrets?"
"Is Lou Lan really crying? She’s usually very fierce, how did the boss manage to make her cry? Last ti my disguise was scratched, needed fixing, Lou Lan scolded so much I couldn’t even argue back."
"I’ve been scolded too!"
"You guys only got scolded, I was even forced into bone crushing."
"Bone crushing?"
"I’m strong, she thought scolding wasn’t worth it, made do hard labor, I ended up crushing over three hundred bones."
"What shape did you crush them into?"
"Rib bones into nasal bones, just think about the workload!"
"Hiss! That’s pretty tragic."
"Lou Lan is just a witch."
"No, she’s an old witch!"
"Keep it down, she’s coming downstairs." The sharp-eared young guy imdiately alerted.
The crowd dispersed instantly, each returning to their original positions, so playing, so eating, acting as if they hadn’t just gathered for gossip, each one of them quite the actor.
They thought the tear-stricken Lou Lan would co down looking gloomy, but what they saw was a radiant, grinning Lou Lan whose smile nearly reached her ears.
Everyone exchanged glances, communicating with eyes full of bewildernt.
It seed like Lou Lan was in a great mood, not soone who had just been crying!
Listening carefully, she seed to be humming a tune with a lively beat, not just a small amount of happiness, but a mountain of it!
Lou Lan walked past everyone, heading to the basent to continue "visiting" her anatomy professor.
As soon as she left, everyone burst into chatter.
