Chapter 141: I Hope You Can Help Her

So there were times when he had some luck after all? The moment Xu Zisheng got closer, he saw that door slightly ajar.

After confirming there was no one else inside, he slipped in immediately.

This Finance Office looked several grades better than the Records Room from last night.

Most of the files were stored in cabinets. Xu Zisheng thought of the box the Cleaner had mentioned and began searching the room.

Of course, the point wasn’t the box itself, but the phone kept inside that box.

In the dark, the Shadow Ghost was summoned again and helped ransack the place.

There were many ornaments standing on the desk, all shapes and sizes—symbols hinting at wealth and prosperity. A few miscellaneous books lay about, and nearby sat a worn ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts.

As for the financial statements, they had been pushed to one side, casually opened and scattered. Many invoices were shoved hard into drawers, almost spilling out.

Xu Zisheng could only skim the expenses and income reports. There wasn’t time to go through everything thoroughly now.

He had to memorize as much as he could during the search—some of it might prove useful.After all, Yang Qianqian’s condition was uncertain. If he lingered here too long, who knew what might happen to her.

Even if there were many risks of exposing his abilities, Xu Zisheng had just used Double Pupils to notify Cheng He and the others about what they had encountered.

Cheng He had only just arrived at the back gate.

Through Double Pupils’ eyes, Xu Zisheng could clearly see Cheng He fall silent for a moment.

Perhaps during that brief instant, Cheng He had thought through a lot.

Xu Zisheng guessed Yang Qianqian was fully engaged with whoever was hiding behind her, so she couldn’t be distracted—she hadn’t even notified her partner.

Now that he was here, Cheng He absolutely couldn’t turn back halfway to find Yang Qianqian.

He could only look solemnly and sincerely at the floating doll before him. “If you find something, I hope you can go help her—”

Cheng He didn’t beat around the bush; he directly voiced his request.

“Consider it us owing you a favor. Please.”

His voice was low, but the feeling behind it could be felt.

Cheng He couldn’t force the issue. Even if Xu Zisheng found something and didn’t go rescue Yang Qianqian—

He couldn’t get there from the other side of the Orphanage in time.

This was Yang Qianqian’s choice. If tonight she truly couldn’t escape, that would be her decision to make.

As a long-time teammate, Cheng He believed in Yang Qianqian’s strength, but that didn’t stop him from worrying.

He could only hope Xu Zisheng would, for the sake of Yang Qianqian standing up alone to shoulder the pressure, go look for her and give her a hand.

Even if it was just a temporary alliance and the future remained uncertain.

But based on Xu Zisheng’s usual principles, even if Cheng He hadn’t said anything, even without the favor, he would have gone to look for Yang Qianqian.

Even if they had only just met, abandoning a “partner” was never his style.

“I will.”

The doll’s reply was only those few words, but it seemed as if a resolute gaze shone from its button-like eyes.

Cheng He didn’t answer further. He bent down, scanned the surroundings, and prepared to enter the Security Booth.

The connection was severed.
