Chapter 160 Four people meet
"Can we find Lin Feng through him?"
The system quickly responded: "Yes, because his current location was carefully arranged by Lin Feng."
After receiving an affirmative answer, he nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
After the leader finished inspecting all the tasks, Qiao Xiao warmly invited Lin Zhengqi to have dinner together.
Lin Zhengqi readily agreed, and the two then went to an elegant restaurant.
During the meal, they seemed to have endless topics to discuss, chatting about everything under the sun, creating a very harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
Before we knew it, time had slipped away, and a sumptuous and delicious dinner was drawing to a close.
After the meal, Lin Zhengqi displayed gentlemanly manners by personally driving Qiao Xiao back to her residential community.
As the car slowly pulled up to the building, Qiao Xiao glanced up and noticed Qin Yan and Su Jing walking side by side toward her.
Lin Zhengqi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also noticed the scene ahead and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be your... roommate."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips, and replied, "That's right, Mr. Lin, you have excellent judgment. However, this is their private matter, so let's not interfere too much."
Lin Zhengqi smiled apologetically and then asked, "Why don't we wait until they leave before we get off the bus?"
However, Qiao Xiao shook her head, turned to Lin Zhengqi with a smile, and said firmly, "No need, Mr. Lin, we'll get out now." With that, she pushed open the car door and got out of the car lightly.
Meanwhile, Qin Yan, who appeared to be listening attentively to Su Jing, was actually lost in thought.
Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind. Qin Yan shuddered as if struck by something and quickly turned around. What came into view was Qiao Xiao and the man he had seen before.
Qiao Xiao smiled and said softly, "Good evening!"
"Good evening." Su Jing responded quickly, her tone gentle and her face bearing a faint smile.
After the brief greeting, a sudden silence fell over the room. The four of them stood there quietly, a subtle atmosphere seemingly hanging between them. Time seemed to freeze, and no one spoke again.
Finally, Qiao Xiao broke the deadlock once again. She turned slightly to Lin Zhengqi beside her and said, "Let's not stand here anymore, Mr. Lin, let's go inside and talk."
After saying that, she took a few steps and walked into the house. Lin Zhengqi saw this and quickly followed.
So, Qiao Xiao and Lin Zhengqi left first, leaving Su Jing and Qin Yan behind.
Su Jing turned her head and looked at Qin Yan, who was staring blankly, and asked curiously, "When did Qiao Xiao get a boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan frowned slightly, then shook his head and replied, "Not my boyfriend." His tone was somewhat stiff, as if he was very impatient with the question.
Su Jing clearly didn't believe Qin Yan's words. She raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, "How could that be? Someone who can get so close to Miss Qiao must be someone she has feelings for, if not her boyfriend."
Faced with Su Jing's persistent questioning, Qin Yan simply lowered his head silently, remaining silent. He felt a mix of emotions, a strange heaviness in his heart.
Seeing that Qin Yan was unwilling to talk more, Su Jing wisely stopped asking. But Qin Yan's heart was not at peace. He looked in the direction Qiao Xiao had left, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
After Qiao Xiao and Lin Zhengqi entered the house, Lin Zhengqi asked in confusion, "Miss Qiao, have you considered living alone? Won't it cause misunderstandings if your roommate has a female companion?"
Qiao Xiao sighed and said, "But I can't find a place right now, Mr. Lin."
Lin Zhengqi: "I can provide that for you."
Qiao Xiao's eyes lit up. "Really? Mr. Lin, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
Lin Zhengqi smiled and waved his hand, "It's not troublesome at all. I happen to have a spare house, fully furnished, so you can move in right away."
Qiao Xiao looked at him gratefully, "That's wonderful, Mr. Lin, thank you."
At this moment, Qin Yan outside felt increasingly uneasy. Unable to control himself, he slowly pushed open the door. Upon seeing the two people inside, his face seemed to darken.
Lin Zhengqi frowned, somewhat displeased by his arrival.
Qin Yan stared intently at Qiao Xiao. "You're moving out?"
Qiao Xiao answered frankly, "Yes."
Qin Yan gritted his teeth, "What's the reason?"
Qiao Xiao smiled faintly: "I'll tell you later."
Qin Yan was stunned. He hadn't expected Qiao Xiao to be serious, and he immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.
Qiao Xiao turned to Lin Zhengqi and said, "Mr. Lin, let's get the moving done as soon as possible."
Lin Zhengqi nodded, glanced at the distraught Qin Yan, and went out with Qiao Xiao to discuss the details.
Su Jing entered the house and comforted Qin Yan: "I know you and Qiao Xiao have been living together and relying on each other for a long time, but after all, she has a boyfriend. It would be better if you lived separately."
Qin Yan's gaze lingered on Su Jing, his expression completely calm, but Su Jing felt a chill run down her spine and a sense of unease. "Qin... Qin Yan?" she asked, her voice trembling as she looked at the man whose aura had turned sinister.
Qin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "What? You're scared just because I changed a little? The contract has already been signed, and you're no longer of any use to me."
His smile was somewhat distorted, like a doll stripped of its glamorous exterior, yet still retaining those unusually vivid, yet eerily beautiful eyes that sent chills down one's spine.
Su Jing backed away in terror, "Who are you?"
Qin Yan sneered, "Who I am is not important, what's important is you..." After saying that, he waved his hand, and Su Jing fainted.
When Qiao Xiao returned, she saw Su Jing lying unconscious and Qin Yan looking indifferent. "What happened to her?"
Qin Yan said slowly, "It's nothing, I just felt dizzy, I need to go and take care of it."
Qiao Xiao frowned and asked, "Why are you out again?"
Qin Yan looked at her coldly, "Aren't you afraid of ending up like her?"
“You are no match for me,” Qiao Xiao said decisively. “Don’t lay a hand on innocent people.”
Qin Yan's lips curled up in a defiant smile as he said, "I'll move, so what?" His gaze roamed freely over the person in front of him, as if deliberately trying to provoke him.
The woman standing opposite her had a calm and composed expression, without the slightest ripple. She simply replied, "That would make you look more like an animal." As she spoke, she gently but quickly carried Su Jing to the sofa and settled her down.
Seeing this, Qin Yan frowned slightly, took a step forward, and approached her, asking unwillingly, "Can you treat me like a stranger?"
Qiao Xiao tilted her head slightly, glanced at him sideways, and said coldly, "When you can control your emotions, then come and talk to me about these things."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan suddenly sneered and retorted, "What? Now you won't let me die?"
Qiao Xiao looked at him helplessly, slowly walked to the sofa, slumped down, and said weakly, "Qin Yan, please don't act like a jealous child. It will only make me look down on you more."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan's face instantly darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "You really know how to be sarcastic, Qiao Xiao."
Qiao Xiao's tone revealed a hint of anger: "Isn't it all because every time you show up you only know how to cause trouble for me!"
Qin Yan stared straight into Qiao Xiao's eyes, only to find that her once beautiful and charming eyes were now filled with a sickly chill, a chill that seemed to penetrate straight to the bone.
Qin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
After a moment, he came to his senses and muttered to himself, "You really are like a madman, Qiao Xiao." His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
