Chapter 767 - He Is Soul Fighter (1) (2/2)

The captain went on and on, but to Qiao Lian this discovery was like a bolt of lightning that flashed before her eyes and triggered some sort of realization in her.

And a thought suddenly struck her mind.

She spun her head around to look at Shen Liangchuan.

His expression, however, was as calm and unruffled as always. But his eyes… There was something lurking behind his deep eyes. But it was so obscured that Qiao Lian had no way of guessing what he was thinking, or feeling.

She held her gaze on him steadily and, to her astonishment, she began to see light.

The captain was still talking but gradually, he started to sense that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the strange expressions on Qiao Lian’s and Shen Liangchuan’s faces. He quickly stopped himself, “Heh- err- I think you better get going! Xiao Qiao, come look for me if you need anything.”

Qiao Lian nodded.

“Ding,” the elevator chimed as the door opened.

Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan walked in and the door slowly shut, leaving the captain alone outside.

At once, the deafening silence inside of the elevator was obvious.

Qiao Lian turned to glance at Shen Liangchuan, but she saw that he was expressionless.

She opened her mouth, but no words came.

An awkward silence fell over them both.

–

Shen Liangchuan was truly fearful that Qiao Lian would start asking him questions. He knew she was intelligent and, as a journalist, she was sensitive to these things. For sure, she had figured out something was wrong.

Hence, after the elevator door shut, he waited quietly for her to start raising the difficult questions.

However, she ultimately kept silent.

He, too, began to slowly relax.

Upon arriving at the underground carpark, the two got into the car and then drove out of the hotel grounds.
