The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 520 - 484 Guarding Like Against Thieves

Jingyu Garden

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing looked towards the living room door.

Soon, Su Qi and Shang Chen entered together.

"Mr. Gu," they both greeted.

Gu Yanjing sat cross-legged on the floor looking at them.

Su Qi said, "The student who caused trouble at Jing University this morning, Xie Xiang, his drug test results came out positive."

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes moved a bit, unsurprised by the result.

Because Xie Xiang’s state this morning was indicative.

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything, glanced at the floor to signal Su Qi and Shang Chen to sit down.

Su Qi surely had other matters to discuss; if it were just about Xie Xiang’s positive drug test, he wouldn’t come back at this time.

After all, Xie Xiang had been quieted down before being sent to the police station.

To them, this matter was considered resolved.

Su Qi and Shang Chen also sat on the floor cross-legged.

Shang Chen sat very upright, glanced at the gift box next to Qiao Yuxian’s hand.

It was the box of the dagger he gifted.

Qiao Yuxian had her hand pressed on the box all along, seeming to value it greatly.

Shang Chen looked at it for a moment and then retracted his gaze.

His tense expression relaxed slightly.

Ignoring the sofa chairs, the four sat on the floor.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t idle, continuing to open gifts.

Su Qi, sitting on the floor reporting to Gu Yanjing for the first time, felt uneasy, uncomfortable in any position.

As he wrestled with this discomfort, he said, "Mr. Gu, Xie Xiang’s drug test came back positive. We’ll soon find out how he got involved."

While opening the box, Qiao Yuxian glanced at him.

Su Qi continued, "Last night at Shangxing Bar, Xie Xiang accepted a cigarette handed by someone else."

"Someone he knew?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Yes. According to Xie Xiang’s confession. The person who passed him the cigarette had introduced him to a lot of jobs, helped him make quite some money." Su Qi said, "That person called him to the bar last night as well."

"Probably premeditated, trying to get him addicted." Qiao Yuxian said, "Being nice was just to lower his guard."

"Exactly," Su Qi nodded, "The boss lady’s analysis is spot on."

Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

"So the police investigated Shangxing Bar." Su Qi said.

"Did they find anything else?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Yes," Su Qi replied, "The bar’s owner is a distant relative of Qiu Xia."

Gu Yanjing’s eyelashes moved imperceptibly.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "Qiu Xia? The Qiu Xia who snatched the account book from Tang He."

"Yes," Su Qi said, "They are very distant relatives and have no contact, so if no one had tipped them off, it would have been impossible to discover the connection."

"Who tipped them off?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Unknown," Su Qi replied, "The police said someone sent them an anonymous message. Just eight words: ’Shangxing Bar, owner, Qiu Xia.’ It was sent using a black card, and any further investigation led to dead ends, as if something blocked it."

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing didn’t speak.

"Moreover, frequently seen on the bar’s visitors list were Chen Xi and Gu Yao," Su Qi added.

After Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing met Gu Yao at the dessert shop,

Qiao Yuxian hacked the shop’s surveillance.

She showed them what Gu Yao looked like.

Therefore, after Su Qi saw the investigation’s list, he checked the surveillance again, confirming that this Gu Yao matched the one he knew.

Qiao Yuxian was slightly surprised.

Gu Yanjing said, "What connections does Gu Yao have with Shangxing Bar?"

"Nothing found so far," Su Qi replied, "It was only discovered that Chen Xi and Gu Yao visited frequently during this time. Also, even though the bar owner was found to be related to Qiu Xia, there’s no other information. The meaning behind the anonymous tip is unclear."

Qiao Yuxian looked at them, continued opening the box, then said, "Could Qiu Xia have some connection with Gu Yao?"

It was all too mysterious.

Chen Xi and Gu Yao frequently visited that bar.

Plus, someone specifically pointed out a connection with Qiu Xia.

The matter with Qiu Xia was mainly handled by Interpol.

Who could have known about Qiu Xia’s existence and alerted the domestic police?

As Qiao Yuxian pondered, "Chen Xi" surfaced in her mind.

No one spoke.

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a while, then looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing raised a hand to touch her head, then said to Su Qi and Shang Chen, "Keep an eye on Shangxing Bar, don’t alert them."

"Understood," Shang Chen responded.

Su Qi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shangxing Bar has already been investigated. Even if they plan to do something, would they still choose that place?"

Qiao Yuxian replied, "They investigated, but didn’t find anything, did they?"

Su Qi looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian smiled at him.

Su Qi understood.

If they really want to do something at Shangxing Bar, or if Shangxing Bar is hiding a bigger conspiracy. And not finding out anything this time is the best protection for the bar.

There is already protection.

Then some things will proceed further.

"Be careful not to get caught," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Yes," Su Qi replied.

After that, Su Qi and Shang Chen talked about other things with Gu Yanjing.

All discussed around D Continent.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t participate in their conversation anymore, quietly unpacking gifts on the side.

Once everything was discussed, Su Qi and Shang Chen planned to leave.

Qiao Yuxian also opened a gift box in her hand, quite a big box, but fairly light.

It was given by Qin Xia.

She was a bit curious about what was inside.

As soon as she opened it, Qiao Yuxian quickly closed the box again.

The movement was so fast, with such force, there was a loud bang.

It startled Su Qi and Shang Chen.

Shang Chen had just stood up, while Su Qi was still kneeling on one leg, about to stand up.

Because of her commotion, he froze on the spot.

He thought his standing posture was too ugly, embarrassing her, so he didn’t dare move.

Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Watching Qiao Yuxian’s eyes become gradually angry.

If you looked closely, her neck seemed a bit red.

Noticing they were looking at her, Qiao Yuxian’s anger paused for a moment, then she said, "Oh, it’s nothing. You guys head back. Goodnight."

Seeing it wasn’t his issue, Su Qi quickly got up and left with Shang Chen.

After they left, Qiao Yuxian stopped opening gifts, hugged the box, and started walking out.

Gu Yanjing stood up and grabbed her.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "I, I, um, that gift must’ve been sent by mistake, I’ll return it."

"It’s almost eleven," Gu Yanjing said.

"Even if it’s two in the morning, I’ll send it back," Qiao Yuxian insisted stubbornly.

Gu Yanjing looked at her, and after two seconds, he laughed.

A slight smile, like a beam of light shining on thick and clean snow.

Qiao Yuxian watched him, first admiring, then frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I saw it," Gu Yanjing said calmly.

"Saw what?" Qiao Yuxian was dazzled by his charm, momentarily losing her response.

Gu Yanjing glanced at the box she was holding.

The moment she realized what he meant, Qiao Yuxian, like a startled little fox, had all her hair standing on end.

She took a defensive step back, tightly holding the box, her face instantly flushing red: "What are you doing!"

The box contained adult toys.

Not just lingerie, but many, many of them...

Qiao Yuxian’s face got redder just thinking about it.

Qin Xia also included a note inside.

Saying the last gift was sent mistakenly, and this gift was sent on purpose.

Send what?

What is this?!

She graduated!

Package herself and put her on Gu Yanjing’s bed?

Shouldn’t it be Gu Yanjing who gets packaged...

Qiao Yuxian quickly halted her thoughts!

Nobody should be able to do that!

What was she thinking!

Gu Yanjing looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

When she was opening gifts, his peripheral vision was always on her. He glimpsed a little of what was inside.

"You’re not allowed to laugh!" Qiao Yuxian said.

"Hmm, I won’t laugh," Gu Yanjing said.

"Then forget about it, quickly, immediately forget," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Hmm, forgotten," Gu Yanjing said.

"You, you’re not allowed to think about it either," Qiao Yuxian said, her face red, sweating, "I, I won’t go along with it."

"I don’t have that kink," Gu Yanjing said, "Come here."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, saw he wasn’t lying, and then walked over to him.

Gu Yanjing took the large box from her arms and placed it on the cabinet nearby, then hugged her.

Qiao Yuxian buried her face in his embrace, not wanting to see anyone.

Gu Yanjing kissed the top of her head, stroked her hair, and said softly, yet indulgently and a bit jokingly, "I didn’t even do anything? Like guarding against a thief."
