With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 29 Does Zhou Cheng Know?
Caring about the heroine of "After Sunset", Shen Xiu didn't sleep well all night.

Seeing that it was more than six o'clock in the morning and it was almost dawn, he fell asleep in a daze, but sat up from the bed startled by a ringing bell.

Shen Xiuyuan opened her eyes, her head was tilted forward, her mind was confused, and she was stunned for a long time before she realized that it was her cell phone that had rang.

With a look of resentment, he took the phone and looked at it. It was an unknown number. Without even thinking about it, he hung up, smacked his mouth twice, and fell back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, the bell rang again.

Shen Xiu opened her eyes and glanced at it, but it was still an unknown number.

Hang up again.

But the other party seemed to really have something important to ask him, and after hanging up, he immediately called again.

Shen Xiu was furious. Was it true that he caught Zhou and the watering can when he was a child?

He made up his mind, no matter who was in front of him, he actually disturbed his sleep and sprayed directly.

"Hey, you him."

"Shen Xiu? Where are you?"

Just two-thirds of the "Three Character Classic" was spoken, a familiar voice came from the receiver.

A resolute and imposing face appeared in her mind. Shen Xiu was filled with anger, and she smiled awkwardly and said:
"It's Bureau Zheng, what do you want from me?"

In my heart, I secretly complained:
This old guy doesn't sleep by himself early in the morning, and he doesn't let others sleep. He really is his own chief, which is amazing.

There was a silence in the microphone, as if he had sensed something, his serious tone softened:
"Did it disturb your rest?"

How dare Shen Xiu say yes, even say no.

After being polite, Zheng Qinghe explained the reason for the call.

"If you have time, come to the bureau now. I want to ask for your opinion on something."

Shen Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse to go.

However, how to do it is a problem.

Yesterday's experience was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to be described as a parking space at a station, a coffin space, or a coffin space.

"Director Zheng, which street is our bureau in?"

Shen Xiu tried her best to express her thoughts in euphemistic terms.

As expected of being a leader, Zheng Qinghe understood immediately, and told Shen Xiu the way to get to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs with a smile.

"What a miserable life"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiu looked out of the window helplessly, it was dimly lit.

Sighing, he put on his clothes, walked out of the haunted house, stopped a taxi with the same fate under the gaze of two yawning "poor people" at the door, and left in a hurry.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Xiu came to an unremarkable office building.

Following the method given by Zheng Qinghe, he entered through the side door and found a secret door in a blind corner and knocked on it.

thump.
咚咚
thump.
The knocks on the door were two short and one long, very regular.

In the next second, a green light suddenly shot out and swept across Shen Xiu's face.

"Number 100457, welcome home."

After confirming Shen Xiu's identity, an electronically synthesized voice sounded, and the secret door slowly opened.

"There are quite a lot of tricks." Shen Xiu thought to herself.

Stepping in, you will see a corridor about ten meters long.

The corridor is about two meters wide, with a wooden floor, and the walls on both sides seem to be covered with wallpaper, with many mysterious patterns faintly visible.

At two meters high on both sides of the wall, there is a simple bronze wall lamp every one meter forward, and at the end of the corridor is an elevator.

At this time, the elevator door was open, and seemed to be waiting for him.

Shen Xiu walked in without hesitation.

Take the elevator all the way down, and soon you will come to the aisle with the guide lights on.

Shenxiu knew how to go on the next road.

Walked into the Bureau of Foreign Affairs with ease, found the office with a dark brown door, and knocked twice.

咚咚
"Come in."

Shen Xiu pushed the door and entered, Dui smiled and was about to ask Zheng Qinghe what he wanted to ask for his opinion, when she suddenly found another person in the office.

He still knows this person.

"Why is Wang Quan here? Doesn't this matter have something to do with her?"

After hesitating for a while, Shen Xiu didn't take the initiative to ask again, but smiled at Wang Quan who was looking back, and walked over.

Apart from the chairs under the buttocks of Zheng Qinghe and Wang Quan, there is nothing else to sit on in the office.

Shen Xiu could only stand beside Wang Quan like a follower like yesterday.

Wang Quan nodded slightly to Shen Xiu, as a greeting.

At this time, Zheng Qinghe said:

"Since Xiao Shen is here, let me just say it straight. There is one thing I need to ask for your opinion. If you are not willing, the Bureau will not force you."

Shen Xiu looked over suspiciously.

"Boss Zheng, what's the matter?"

Shen Xiu felt that this matter could be very important and dangerous for a deputy director in charge of power to do it so solemnly.

He didn't dare to agree, thinking about making a decision after listening to it.

Zheng Qinghe glanced at the silent Wang Quan, and said slowly:
"Recently, almost all the explorers in the bureau have been sent to the two newly-emerged restricted areas in order to analyze the threats and the reasons for their appearance as soon as possible, but the results are unsatisfactory. Not to mention the slow progress, the casualties are also huge , The bureau is very troubled by this, but the investigation cannot be delayed, so let me act as a representative, and I want to ask for your opinion, would you like to join the exploration?"

It stands to reason that new explorers who join the Foreign Affairs Bureau are mainly responsible for logistics work in the early stage. They usually collect information in the Bureau and read and study the investigation files of their predecessors.

Even if missions were to be sent out, they would only be aimed at the less dangerous old sect's residences or first- and second-level restricted areas.

Shen Xiu had just joined the team on the second day. Not only was he assigned to investigate the fourth-level restricted area, but now he was asked if he would like to join the exploration team for the seventh- and eighth-level restricted areas.

Even if he is not as upright as Zheng Qinghe, he is still a little unable to speak.

But then again, as the person in charge of the Lausanne Bureau of Strange Incidents, if he can't speak, the others are even less qualified.

So, after a night of thinking, Zheng Qinghe still decided to let Shen Xiu make his own choice.

Shen Xiu didn't know that the Bureau of Foreign Affairs still had such unwritten rules.

When Zhou Cheng and Zheng Qinghe talked about the two restricted areas yesterday, he realized that he might be sent there soon.

But he didn't expect that the premonition would come true so quickly, so he was notified today.

You know, Zhou Cheng's injury is still not healed, and there are still plaster casts on his hands and feet.

The two are partners. According to the rules of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, as partners, they must go out together on missions, advance and retreat together.

If he agrees now, won't he drag Zhou Cheng into trouble?
Even though Zhou Cheng didn't invite her to drink water and pretended not to know her, Shen Xiu felt that she shouldn't agree rashly without her knowing, and she was no longer a man.

Shen Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Does Director Zhou know about this?"

"Chengcheng?" Zheng Qinghe was taken aback, "I haven't told her yet."

"really."

Shen Xiu frowned and apologized:
"I'm sorry, Bureau Zheng, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter."

A look of disappointment or relief flashed in Zheng Qinghe's eyes, he nodded and said:
"Ok."

Shen Xiu smiled apologetically again, turned around, and prepared to leave.

To be honest, these two restricted areas are not dangerous for him.

The reason for his refusal was that he didn't want to casually agree without Zhou Cheng's knowledge, and hastily put a burden on Zhou Cheng.

Maybe the situation looks really serious now, but so what, others don't know, doesn't he know, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to enter the two restricted areas, everything will be the same as usual.

Shen Xiu walked to the door in a few steps and was about to open the door when Wang Quan's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Is it because you didn't agree because you were worried about Zhou Cheng?"
