Light Barrier - Chapter 33: Pick Up@@@@

The car started, and Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew the matron too well. If he didn’t slip away quickly, she would definitely think of a way to return the money.

“Why are you leaving in such a hurry?” Nan Jin asked. “Why not stay a little longer? Everyone treats you quite well.”

“That’s why I left in a hurry.” Gu Shen smiled bitterly. “Okay, let’s go back quickly. We shouldn’t stay here for long.”

Nan Jin took off her black-framed glasses and nodded.

After leaving the orphanage, she ceased to be the understanding elder sister. She put on her sunglasses again and returned to being the cold and ruthless Nan Jin.

“Are you sure you want to leave now?” Nan Jin was silent for a while before saying calmly, “The Adjudication Bureau has many missions and is very busy. You might go on frequent business trips all over the East Continent. Moreover, there are some specific missions that require the executor to stay in a city for a long time... Your time will only become more limited. Although you won’t have much time to come back, you won’t have to worry about money anymore. The Parliament will definitely give you generous subsidies.”

“Let’s go.” Gu Shen smiled. “Who knows what the future holds? If the matron knows that I can earn so much money, she should praise me for being very capable, right?”

“Perhaps your matron just wants you to spend more time with her.” Nan Jin always liked to challenge the truth.

Seeing Gu Shen fall silent, she changed the topic. “But now is indeed not the time. Do you remember the car parked in front of the orphanage?”

Gu Shen was startled, and his expression became grim.

Nan Jin noticed too. He nodded slowly.

“That car is suspicious. The driver might have come for you. Did you come into contact with him?” Nan Jin said sharply. “I’ve already informed Senior Brother to investigate, The day after tomorrow is the assessment. Nothing must happen to you these two days.”

Is she suspecting that someone will assassinate me?

This is indeed a reasonable first reaction and judgment. Unfortunately, Nan Jin doesn’t know I’ve already crossed paths with that person... And the danger was even greater than the assassination.

“I had brief contact with him in the yard. I also felt that he was quite suspicious.” Gu Shen scratched his head and began to play dumb skillfully. “That gentleman’s surname is Han, and he’s always smiling. He looks young but is very rich and generous. He sponsored a hundred thousand yuan at once.”

“Han? Always smiling?” Nan Jin immediately thought of Han Dang, whom Senior Brother Zhong had mentioned.

He was a highly dangerous mental-type transcendent.

“Actually, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you.”

He smiled. “I—”

Beep, beep, beep!

The phone always seemed to ring at the most inconvenient times.

For example, when someone mustered their courage.

“I’ll answer it.” The ringtone shattered the silent atmosphere. Zhong Wei answered the call with a bitter smile. As he listened, his brows furrowed.

The call ended.

“It’s Nan Jin. Is there an emergency with Gu Shen?” Senior Sister Luo asked.

“... It’s not urgent. They just discovered a suspicious car. I’ll investigate when I get back.” Zhong Wei sighed softly. His courage, which he had worked hard to muster, was interrupted by this call.

Both of them fell silent.

Senior Sister Luo’s expression was clearly a little irritable. She looked at the rain and said, “When are those guys from the assessment team arriving?”

Her task was to pick up the assessment and get as much information as possible from them regarding the internal assessment of Gu Shen.

And... most importantly, the assessment content was specially prepared for the S-grade!

Zhong Wei took a deep breath and summoned his courage once again. “Senior Sister, I...”

Ring! Ring!

The phone rang again.

Zhong Wei couldn’t remain calm any longer.

After he answered the call, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

After the call ended, Senior Sister Luo frowned. “Nan Jin again?”

“Yes.” After two interruptions, Zhong Wei had completely forgotten what he wanted to say earlier. He said seriously, “The identity of the owner of that suspicious car has basically been confirmed. It’s Han Dang. The information in that anonymous email is indeed true.”
