Chapter 91
Outside Tianshui Street, there was a crowd of people, and it was crowded with people.

No matter how much the vehicles honk their horns when they drive here, no one will give way. Instead, they will be scolded and run away by people who are waiting for their families who have not returned home.

street.

Shen Xiu squatted alone under a street tree whose branches and leaves were almost withered, staring blankly in the direction of the board house.

While waiting for Sun Lei, he thought about why Zhou Cheng came to Tiandu so suddenly.

Of course, it wasn't like he never thought that Zhou Cheng came to see him specially.

But this extremely narcissistic thought is just a flash.

His visit to Tiandu this time was a temporary decision, and he hadn't told anyone about it. Even if Zhou Cheng learned about his movements through the special channels of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, there was no reason for him to follow him.

He is not her dearest relative or friend, at best, he is a partner who has been subordinate to her for several years and can be named by name.

"Could it be that this woman has figured it out and plans to work hard to become stronger?" Shen Xiu thought to herself.

When he was in Lausanne before, he accidentally heard someone from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs say that since Zhou Cheng's previous partner died in an accident, she has never been on a mission and has been living an ordinary life.

No matter how Zheng Qinghe tried to persuade her, she remained indifferent. It was not until his new partner appeared that Zhou Cheng embarked on his first mission.

It stands to reason that now that she left, Zhou Cheng should return to her previous days, but she came to Tiandu uncharacteristically and partnered with other people, which is strange.

While Shen Xiu was thinking secretly, she didn't notice anyone approaching.

The man quietly came to Shen Xiu's back and slowly extended a hand toward Shen Xiu's neck.

In the next second, Shen Xiu's eyes froze, and without looking back, she stretched out her backhand, accurately grasped that slender white hand, twisted it hard, and captured the opponent.

"Ouch!"

Sophie let out a cry of pain and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"It hurts, brother Shen, it's me!"

At this time, Shen Xiucai found out that it was Sophie who was rescued in Ivory Lake who planned to "sneak attack" her.

He quickly let go of his hand and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I thought it was"

"Those 'crazy' ones?"

Sophie wrinkled her little nose, while moving her painfully twisted arm, she snatched away the words.

Shen Xiu touched her nose awkwardly, as a tacit consent.

"You have come to Tiandu anyway, your home."

Shen Xiu originally planned to ask Sophie if everything was settled at home, but before she could say anything, she noticed that Sophie suddenly became depressed and swallowed her words immediately.

"I'm sorry." Shen Xiu apologized again.

Sophie sniffed and smiled.

"It's okay. You don't need to apologize to me. Instead, I want to thank you for saving me. I heard about Ivory Lake. Without you, I wouldn't be standing here now."

After finishing speaking, Sophie suddenly thought of something, rolled her eyes, and asked tentatively:

"Brother Shen, you said 'yes' just now, could it be that you met Chengcheng?"

Shen Xiu nodded and turned to look at Tianshui Street.

"Well, I just came out of there and happened to see her."

"You just came out of Tianshui Street?" Sophie opened her eyes wide, "Brother Shen, didn't you see a strange man in a striped sweater and a top hat?"

Shen Xiu was surprised, but her face remained calm.

"No."

"That's good."

Sophie patted her rather large chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That guy is the culprit of the strange things happening on Tianshui Street a few days ago. Everyone who has seen him has a bad end. According to the investigation by the bureau, that guy seems to have a special ability and can commit crimes in people's dreams. Brother Shen, you You have to be careful.”

"In the Bureau?"

For the ability of "Nightmare", Shen Xiu just pretended to be surprised, then raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise:
"Have you joined the Bureau of Strange Affairs?"

Sophie blushed when she consciously spilled the beans, and covered her mouth as if she was guilty. She looked around and saw no strangers, so she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded her head.

"Well, I am the only one left at home now, and I have no place to go. I can work with Chengcheng and have a companion by joining the Bureau of Strange Affairs. I don't want to stay in Lausanne anymore, so I came to Tiandu. I even came here on purpose.”

"and many more."

Hearing this, Shen Xiu quickly interrupted Sophie.

"You mean that Zhou Cheng came to Tiandu to accompany you?"

Sophie nodded blankly.

"That's right, now that Lausanne is not stable, and I don't want to stay there, Bureau Zheng transferred me to Tiandu, and Chengcheng followed me here."

"The sky is a metropolis, shouldn't it be more dangerous? Why did Director Zheng transfer you here? Also, since Zhou Cheng came here with you, why is her new partner not you, but that little boy?"

Shen Xiu was a little confused.

Sophie explained:
"Although Tiandu is a big city, the staff here is more adequate and the explorers are more experienced, so they are less likely to encounter danger. As for why Chengcheng's new partner is Han Mingsheng and not me, that's because I am not Explorer.”

After saying that, Sophie narrowed her eyes, smiled like a little fox stealing a chicken, and joked:
"Brother Shen, why do you say that Han Mingcheng is a little boy? Is it because he is good-looking? Hehe"

Shen Xiu felt a lot more comfortable after having the answer to the question that troubled her. However, when she heard Sophie's teasing behind her, she became embarrassed again and had to change the topic.

"By the way, since you are not an explorer, what are you doing here now?"

Speaking of this, Sophie slapped her head, remembered the business, and said quickly:
"I'm here because I have something to tell Chengcheng. I'll just talk to you and forget about the business. Let's talk when we have time."

As he spoke, he swung his short legs and ran towards the board room.

"This girl"

Shen Xiu smiled and shook her head.

"Okay, old Shen, where did you meet such a young and juicy girl?"

Suddenly, Sun Lei's voice came from behind, his words were full of ridicule.

Shen Xiu turned her head and found that guy standing behind a pillar not far away, and said angrily:
"When did you come out?"

Sun Lei walked over in a few steps, put his arm around Shen Xiu's shoulders, winked and said:

"When that little beauty said, 'Let's talk when we have time', I didn't say, Old Shen, you are not authentic. If you know this kind of girl, you don't introduce me. It's not because you are afraid of that girl. See me empathize with you?"

Seeing Sun Lei's narcissistic look, Shen Xiu seemed to have met him for the first time and said rather unexpectedly:
"I didn't see it, Leizi. You're quite boring. Okay, I'll introduce you to you next time we meet."

When Sun Lei heard it, he was very happy, but the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"But as far as I know, that girl doesn't seem to like men."

Sun Lei almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Shen Xiu opened the hands on her shoulders and walked towards the rental house.

Sun Lei quickly followed and said:
"Are you sure? Then do you know other beautiful girls? The quality doesn't have to be very good, it can be even worse than that one."

Zhou Cheng's figure flashed in Shen Xiu's mind for no reason, squinted and smiled, and said:

"Really, what do you think of the woman in the board room just now?"

Sun Lei was stunned for a moment, recalling what happened in the cabin just now, he couldn't help but shudder.

"That beauty is beautiful, but it's too cold, colder than an iceberg."

After speaking, Sun Lei suddenly came back to his senses, and said strangely:

"Old Shen, those inside just now said that you are also a member of the Bureau of Strange Affairs, is that true?"
