Chapter 98

On the second floor of Yunling Newspaper, Lu Jiu leaned against the rattan chair and held a bottle of juice in his hand and drank it in a small sip.

He repeated the information he received from Tang Jingyi to the Yipeng Cat early this morning, but unlike the Qingyan Cat's continuous questioning attitude, the Yipeng Cat did not say much after knowing the news, which made it difficult for Lu Jiu to guess its thoughts.

But it is not completely unrealized.

According to the agreement between the two parties on the train, Lu Jiu has now completed the task given by the strange cat, and the next step should be when the latter shows sincerity.

Therefore, before leaving, the cat with strange eyes said that he would come back tonight and let Lu Jiu wait at home.

"Lao Lu, what's wrong with you these two days? You're always absent-minded."

He put two bowls of steaming wontons on the table. Zhou Ze, who had just arrived at the newspaper, saw Lu Jiu sitting alone in a daze, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I'm just having nothing to do... How is the situation in Mr. Chen's case? There has been no news recently, which is really annoying."

He moved the topic out casually, Lu Jiu turned his head and looked at Zhou Ze, and suddenly a trace of inspiration flashed in his mind. Before the latter could speak,

"Your father should have been paying attention to this matter recently. Does he have any insider information?"

"It would be great if there was one. I was asking him about this yesterday, but he asked me not to get involved. I, a newspaper clerk, don't get involved in such big news. Would I drink tea in the newspaper all day long?"

"Zhou Ze, since your father said that, there must be his reason. I think he should have received some news from other places, but it's just inconvenient to say it."

Hearing Zhou Ze's answer, Lu Jiu's eyes showed some different brilliance, and then he tentatively said,

"I guess he should have a good relationship with the people in the Qingdingcheng County Government Office, and it is not surprising to hear some rumors."

"That's right, the county master came to my house for dinner some time ago...ah, I would have taken the opportunity to ask a few questions if I had known it."

Zhou Ze obviously misunderstood Lu Jiu's meaning and said in a little annoyed.

"Haha, I didn't expect that your family and the county government still have this relationship."

As he responded, Lu Jiu secretly wrote down this information in his heart.

By noon, Lu Jiu did not go out for dinner with Zhou Ze, but instead used the excuse of discussing with Uncle Zhao's family to leave early.

Manager Chen from Lingzhi Hall asked someone to send a message yesterday that he had contacted the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team. Lu Jiu immediately asked Manager Chen to inform them to meet at Zuixianlou.

"This time I invite you to dinner, for nothing else, I just want to thank you for the impermanence shotgun you got for me before. If it weren't for it, this Zhengyang Festival might be the last one I've ever lived in my life."

Close the door of the private room, Lu Jiu deliberately opened his voice, picked up the wine glass and said loudly.

"Well... Brother Lu is so polite, that's the reward for your rescue of us."

Zhou Chaolin hesitated and raised his wine glass to meet Lu Jiu. While talking, his face was still confused. You should know that the news he got from Manager Chen was that Lu Jiu had something to ask for their help, the sooner he met, the better!

Cheng Qing, who was pouring wine for others, seemed to have noticed something at this time. He suddenly approached Zhou Chaolin, reached out to pat his back, and then pointed out the ground in front of him with his eyes. The latter followed her instructions and frowned, then looked at Lu Jiu again, with a solemn face.

"Haha~ It may be a trivial matter for Brother Zhou, but from my standpoint it is a big matter that I have to thank for. I hope Brother Zhou can understand."

Pushing the note under his feet a little further, Lu Jiu hints at his thoughts in his words.

It was Lu Jiu's helpless move to convey information in this way. After seeing the ability of the strange cat, Lu Jiu had to be careful about certain things that could determine his future. The purpose of this Qinglan Demon Hunting Team was naturally not simply to thank the Wuchang Shotgun.

In order to verify the information he obtained through various channels in the past two days, Lu Jiu needs someone to help, but in Lu Jiu's opinion, the matter he is going to investigate undoubtedly involves the secrets of the strange-eyed cat and the blue-eyed cat. They must not let them know that they are inquiring secretly, and the only people who can rely on at the moment are the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team.

This is not to say that Lu Jiu could not believe Zhou Ze, but his identity destined to prevent him from accessing that part of the information. Moreover, after the conversation with Zhou Ze this morning, Lu Jiu now hopes that he is safe and sound.

At least until he takes the last step, Zhou Ze must not have any accidents!

"Then I'll be disrespectful to you for your brother."

Noting the message revealed in Lu Jiu's eyes, Zhou Chaolin stretched out his foot and turned the note from Lu Jiu to his side without thinking for too long, and raised his hand to hold the latter's shoulder, focusing his head.

In any case, Zhou Chaolin did not intend to pretend not to see anything about Lu Jiu's request, and his reaction undoubtedly made Lu Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, before coming to Zuixianlou, Lu Jiu was actually ready to avoid Zhou Chaolin's request. After all, his behavior of asking for help is a person with discernment. He knows that there may be a lot of trouble hidden in it, not to mention an old world like Zhou Chaolin.

The banquet was not a good time, but it was quite enthusiastic on the scene. It was not until the newspaper office started working in the afternoon that Lu Jiu left the private room with a smell of alcohol and went to the counter to check out.

After he left the box, the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team did not rush to get up, but continued to eat and drink for a while. It was not until Zhou Chaolin put down his wine glass and handed a look at Du Qi opposite him. The latter immediately stood up and quietly approached the windowsill on the side of the box. He listened for a while before shook his head.

"Boss, what did Brother Lu write on the note you wrote?"

Ge Qiu, who also noticed the strange state between Zhou Chaolin and Lu Jiu, couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not going to see it. What can make Brother Lu so cautious is definitely extraordinary."

Take out the paper from your waist and spread it open. Your eyes swept across the content above. Zhou Chaolin's expression suddenly became a little strange. He paused and muttered in a low voice.

"That's it?"

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Qing, who was closest to him, thought it was a problem, so he asked while approaching him, but after she finished reading the message on the note, her face showed the same expression as Zhou Chaolin.

"No wonder Brother Lu said that this is just a trivial thing for us. Du Qi and Ge Qiu, you guys prepare and we go to the Demon Hunting Guild immediately!"

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Zhou Chaolin and Cheng Qing's reaction made Ge Qiu and others next to him confused at this time.

"A total of two things are two things, one of which can be found out by just looking through the book."

Drinking the last sip of wine in the glass and holding the note in his hand, Zhou Chaolin stood up and looked at Cheng Qing, and whispered,
Chapter completed!
