Chapter 749 World 284
After Shen Ruyin sent out the message, the first person to see it was Sister Li, who was still on duty at her workplace.
Sister Li didn't dare to delay and called Rong Jin directly.
Subsequently, almost all the relevant personnel in the Special Affairs Bureau sprang into action, moving closer to Zhao Manrou once again.
Shen Ruyin went home with her mother, and not long after, she found an excuse and brought freshly fried radish balls from home to Sister Li's place.
"Yinyin is here," Sister Li said, and quickly led her to the meeting room next door.
At this moment, several people were already seated in the conference room. In addition to the few people in charge of the second team, Rong Ye, the captain of the first team, had also arrived.
Shen Ruyin glanced at him curiously, then sat down in the seat that Rong Jin had specially reserved for her next to him, and placed the meatballs in her hand on the table.
She had barely sat down and hadn't even properly greeted anyone when a group of Rong Ye impatiently asked, "What exactly happened when you encountered Qi Chengyun today?"
you?
Shen Ruyin blinked and turned her gaze to Rong Jin.
Because she was thinking about meeting him soon, she hadn't said anything in the group chat yet. How did Rong Ye know that she wasn't the only one who had met Qi Chengyun?
Rong Jin noticed her question and turned slightly to the side, saying, "Captain Rong Ye received a message from Zhao Manrou."
"Huh?" Shen Ruyin's eyes widened slightly. "Captain Rong Ye and Zhao Manrou are so close."
“That’s right,” Brother Wang said, peeking out from Rong Jin’s other side. “Captain Rong Ye and Zhao Manrou are quite familiar with each other, especially since they went out together on business with the archaeological team before.”
Brother Wang spoke tactfully, but Shen Ruyin already understood.
Rong Ye, as the captain of the team, is a figure on par with Rong Jin, not only because the two of them share the power in the Special Affairs Bureau, but also because they are both troublesome widows.
Of course, it's not to say there aren't other single men in the Special Affairs Bureau, but those who are too busy with work to date are in the same social class.
Upon closer comparison, Rong Ye is indeed more formidable than Rong Jin. His decisiveness in killing is so extreme that many people privately say he sacrifices his own emotions to achieve such high martial prowess.
As for Rong Jin, although he is also highly skilled in martial arts, he treats his subordinates very well and is quite tactful in his dealings with others.
As a result, people's impression of him in this regard is not as good as that of Captain Rong Yeshen, and they don't discuss gossip about him in private.
But in summary, it only proves one thing.
Whether Zhao Manrou has feelings for Rong Ye is unknown, but Zhao Manrou must be quite special in Rong Ye's heart.
Shen Ruyin pretended to know nothing and tried her best to calmly recount what happened when she met Qi Chengyun.
Qi Chengyun came for Zhao Manrou, and Shen Ruyin, having left, naturally had no idea what had happened on their side.
Upon hearing this, Rong Ye tensed up, guessing that if the current situation allowed, he would have gotten up and gone straight to Zhao Manrou's house.
Just as they were discussing the next steps, someone who was guarding near Zhao Manrou's house brought them the latest news.
"Boss, Qi Chengyun has appeared. He's on the rooftop of the Zhao family's building with Zhao Manrou right now."
"We can't just follow them rashly. We've already activated the special recording equipment that we set up beforehand. Once the signal is working here, we can log in directly with our internal accounts to watch the live stream."
Before her colleague across the table could finish speaking, Sister Li picked up a computer and started operating it, logging onto the Special Affairs Bureau's intranet and connecting to the projector in the conference room.
Shen Ruyin looked at Zhao Manrou and Qi Chengyun, whose faces were clearly visible on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If we're talking about the male and female leads, they certainly live up to the title in terms of looks.
Standing opposite each other on the rooftop like this, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.
If she hadn't known that this scene was captured by a special affairs bureau camera, she would have thought it was surveillance footage from a TV drama production. Several cameras each occupied a cell, essentially providing a 360-degree view without blind spots.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on the projected screen, Shen Ruyin carefully opened the meatballs she had brought and placed them on the table.
Sister Li and Brother Wang were so familiar with her that they didn't stand on ceremony at all and just reached out to take it.
Rong Jin also took one, eating and reading at the same time.
Seeing that their captain was eating, the others didn't stand on ceremony with Shen Ruyin. They even tagged Shen Ruyin in the second team's group chat to praise her while eating.
[@Shen Ruyin These radish balls are delicious, thanks!]
[@Shen Ruyin The radishes I grow at home are delicious too. I'll send you some when I get back.]
Not long after, Ke Xue saw the message: [???]
[What radish balls? You guys secretly had a get-together behind my back? @沈茹茵]
A colleague replied: [What do you mean by "secretly having a meal"? We're openly sitting together, eating and having a meeting.] [Image of radish balls.jpg] [Image of Zhao Manrou and Qi Chengyun standing opposite each other, faces obscured.jpg]
Ke Xue: [Kitten purring face.jpg] [Why didn't I get this kind of treatment when I was here? I'm home, and you guys get to eat so well during your meeting? That's not fair! @Shen Ruyin, send me some quickly.][Reaching out.jpg]
In the entire conference room, apart from Rong Ye, who was focused on the screen, and Rong Jin, who couldn't easily look at his phone, almost everyone had secretly spoken in the group chat.
But they weren't just slacking off; they still kept a close eye on the things that needed attention.
Like now, those two have been standing there for so long, looking at each other with complicated expressions; they've really had enough of watching each other.
After they finished chatting in the group, there was finally some activity on the other end.
It was quite cold during the Spring Festival. Even though Zhao Manrou had worn enough clothes before coming out, she couldn't help but sneeze when a gust of cold wind blew by.
"Xiaoman," Qi Chengyun stepped forward and reached out to touch her forehead.
Zhao Manrou immediately took a big step back: "Don't move."
Zhao Manrou pulled her clothes tighter and put the hood of her down jacket on: "Just tell me what's wrong. It's quite cold outside. I need to go back and help my parents prepare for the New Year."
Her tone was somewhat cold, which made Qi Chengyun look a little uncomfortable: "Xiaoman, I know it was wrong of me not to send you any messages after I left, but I had my reasons."
“I tried to come back to find you several times before, but I found that you were being monitored by people from the Special Affairs Bureau.”
“I’ve never been able to recover to my peak condition. Facing the Special Affairs Bureau, I can only lose. So I can only stay far away and watch you silently…”
"Really?" Zhao Manrou's grip on her clothes tightened slightly. "So, I wasn't under surveillance by anyone from the Special Affairs Bureau today?"
“Also,” Qi Chengyun said, “they also have to go back to reunite with their families during the Lunar New Year, so it’s the most relaxed time of the year.”
"That's why I was able to find the opportunity to see you."
"Oh?" Zhao Manrou looked at him coldly. "I'm almost finished with my university degree, and you only found an opportunity this year during the Spring Festival. You're quite persistent."
Shen Ruyin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Interesting. Using the calmest tone to say the most sarcastic things, Zhao Manrou's verbal skills have improved quite a bit since she went to university.
I just don't know if she's changed her love-struck ways now, or if she's emptied her brain of all the naivety she used to have.
