At this moment, Gao Li's attention was suddenly attracted by the mechanical blade placed on the bedside table!
He couldn't help but walk over.
When Shen Qiu saw this scene, his brows jumped and he immediately felt something was wrong.
"Mr. Shen Qiu, what is this?"
Gao Li asked with a smile.
“Cosplay props.”
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"It's really rare to see such exquisitely made props."
Gao Li said as he reached out towards the mechanical blade.
The corner of Shen Qiu's mouth twitched slightly. This time he was in trouble. Even if he could argue that this thing was a prop, its sharpness was there. It was definitely a controlled knife.
Just when Gao Li was about to touch the mechanical blade, a strange collision sound suddenly came from Zheng Duo's side.
Shen Qiu and Gao Li turned their heads to look over at the same time.
Zheng Duo was seen standing in front of the bookcase, reaching out his hand towards a very exquisite gift box displayed on the top of the bookcase.
"stop!"
When Shen Qiu saw this scene, he immediately spoke up to stop it.
When Zheng Duo heard Shen Qiu's words, he did not take the box by force, but withdrew his hand.
Then he turned and said to Shen Qiu.
"Mr. Shen, can we take a look at this box?"
"No! This is my personal property."
Shen Qiu replied bluntly.
"Mr. Shen, if it were a normal situation, we really shouldn't be so rude, and we have no right to invade your privacy. But now is an extraordinary period, in order to nip in the bud all sources of danger, please cooperate."
Zheng Duo seemed to be discussing with Shen Qiu, but his tone did not leave any room for rebuttal.
"Mr. Shen, we are not deliberately making things difficult for you. Please support our work. We are also ensuring the safety of the people."
Gao Li also followed suit and persuaded.
Of course, they will not use their privileges to pressure others unless it is absolutely necessary, because this will easily cause conflicts.
Shen Qiu's expression changed for a while, and he finally compromised and said.
"Okay, I can show you, but I have to open it myself."
"good!"
Zheng Duo is not that rigid.
Shen Qiu walked forward, reached out, took the box down, and then gently opened it.
Gao Li and Zheng Duo looked at the opened box carefully, and saw a sky blue, crystal clear, mysterious flower jewelry inside the box.
"What is this? It's so beautiful!"
Zheng Duo looked at the jewelry in the box and praised it sincerely.
"Jewelry made from Star Orchids!"
Shen Qiu explained calmly.
Gao Li, who was standing by, looked at the jewelry. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Zheng Duo continued to ask Shen Qiu with great interest.
"Mr. Shen, this jewelry..."
Before Zheng Duo could finish his question, Gao Li seemed to have thought of something and interrupted Zheng Duo.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Shen for your cooperation. Zheng Duo, we should go now. We have another family to check."
"Uh, okay."
Although Zheng Duo didn't quite understand why Gao Li was suddenly in a hurry to leave, he still nodded and replied.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Shen Qiu could not possibly try to keep them, so he just went along with it.
"Goodbye, I won't see you off."
"Excuse me, thank you for your cooperation."
Zheng Duo and Gao Li bowed to Shen Qiu at the same time and then left.
After walking out of the community, Zheng Duo asked Gao Li curiously.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave all of a sudden? That flower is so beautiful!"
"If you know it's beautiful, leave now."
"Why? Is there something wrong with that thing?"
"That thing is super expensive because it is made of rare star orchids, immortalized through tedious craftsmanship, and made into jewelry. Ordinary people can't even touch it."
Gao Li explained to Zheng Duo.
"You mean he's the top guy? That's unlikely, right?"
"I don't know if it is, but since we don't have any evidence to prove his disappearance, let's not trouble ourselves any more."
"Understood."
Zheng Duo nodded quickly.
…
Inside the house, Shen Qiu looked at the Star Orchid jewelry in the box with an extremely complicated expression.
After a moment, he carefully closed the box and put it back on the cabinet.
Just at this moment, Shen Qiu's cell phone rang.
Buzz~
Shen Qiu picked up the phone and took a look. The call was from a profiteer, so he picked up the phone immediately.
"Shen Qiu, when are you free? Let's have dinner together."
Huang Lang said with a smile.
"No need to test it, the person has already left. But you reacted pretty quickly."
Shen Qiu sat down on the chair and said to Huang Lang.
"Haha, you are indeed worthy of being here. You can come back alive after disappearing."
Huang Lang said excitedly.
"Are you expecting me to die?"
Shen Qiu replied unhappily.
"No way. If someone else disappears, they will definitely die. But you are different. I am very optimistic about you."
Huang Lang said with a sly grin, but of course it was unclear how credible this statement was.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. How many people disappeared in the Tianqing Canal, and how many people came back?"
Shen Qiu asked, he knew very well that Huang Lang must have paid special attention to it, otherwise this guy would not have known that he had finished the work ahead of time.
"A total of 3,121 people are missing so far! No one has come back alive except you. But there is one person who is uncertain, and that is Tang Kexin. When she was first reported missing, Tang Kexin was the most important missing person, but later it was reported that it was a false report."
Huang Lang said with a grin.
When Shen Qiu heard the data given by Huang Lang, his eyelids jumped. He had thought that the mortality rate would be very high, but he did not expect that there would be no survivors except him and Tang Kexin.
Just as Shen Qiu was lost in thought, Huang Lang asked with a sly grin.
"Brother, let me ask you something. Did you get anything good when you came back from that world?"
"have."
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said.
"Really? Brother, I've always been very kind to you. How about you sell me the things you brought?"
Huang Lang said excitedly. Actually, it was no wonder that he was so excited. Now, anything brought back from there would be valuable even if it was just a piece of waste paper.
"Yes, sure."
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment and then agreed. He had considered it carefully. Of all the things he brought back, the most valuable ones were drawings, chips, books and the like. He would not sell these things to Huang Lang.
Shen Qiu knew Huang Lang very well. With his greedy character, he would definitely sell these things to foreign countries in exchange for a large amount of money.
What he really wanted to sell to Huang Lang were the jewels. Now the situation was becoming more and more chaotic, and there was no telling if it would collapse one day.
By then, the most expensive jewels will have no value at all. It is better to take advantage of the current stable situation, when the rich still want these jewels and can offer a good price.
"Then I'll come find you right away."
Huang Lang's tone was full of urgency, and he wished he could fly over right now.
"No rush. I'm in the spotlight right now. Maybe the KPI department is still watching me. Let's wait until the storm is over before making the deal."
Shen Qiu rationally rejected Huang Lang.
"What you said makes sense. Okay, wait a while."
Although Huang Lang was a little anxious, he also knew that haste makes waste, so he agreed with Shen Qiu's suggestion.
"By the way, is there something you can help me with?"
Shen Qiu suddenly asked.
"Brother, look at what you are saying. What's the relationship between us? As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation!"
"Get me a gun and some bullets."
"Uh? This."
"Don't be ridiculous. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right? And I need a weapon for self-defense, not for anything bad."
"Brother, you really misunderstood me. This would not be a big deal in the past. But now there is nothing we can do. Clear Sky City has entered a special alert state. You can see that there are patrols and searches everywhere. It is impossible to get it. And even if you get the gun, it may not be a good thing. It might be found out directly."
Huang Lang explained with a wry smile.
"Is there really no other way?"
"There's really no way for now."
"Okay, let's do this for now."
Shen Qiu sighed and hung up the phone.
