Lin Chuan’s brows tightened, “Where did you receive the information from?”

Zhongcheng Building, 17th floor.

Xia Qingqing blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Chuan steadily; then, pointing at the ceiling with her finger, she asked, “What do you think?”

Lin Chuan looked up at the ceiling above and immediately understood what Xia Qingqing meant.

Xia Qingqing was a messenger.

Thus, Lin Chuan asked, “Baisheng Group, do they know the killer who murdered Old Bao?”

Xia Qingqing nodded slightly and replied, “To be precise, they don’t completely know, they only know which assassin organization took the job, but haven’t investigated the specific assassin and the employer.”

Lin Chuan understood, “The higher-ups are indeed quite capable.”

“One can’t always be the last to know, right?”

Xia Qingqing also worked in network monitoring, which had its similarities with some intelligence work, and she had some understanding of how intelligence organizations operated.

“Tell them my thanks for me.”

As Lin Chuan spoke, he too pointed at the ceiling above.

Xia Qingqing, however, pursed her lips and smiled, “You think too highly of me; I’m just responsible for passing messages, I can’t convey your thanks upward.”

Lin Chuan laughed, “It seems your rank isn’t high enough yet.”

“Give me another two years, and I might just have the chance,” Xia Qingqing said with a laugh, a playful look appearing on her oval face.

“Two years? I fear I’ll be scattered in pieces by then!”

Lin Chuan jokingly said.

Xia Qingqing immediately retorted, “What are you blabbering about, nonsense!”

“The higher-ups even have you relay messages to me, what does that imply?” Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

“You don’t seem worried at all?”

Xia Qingqing countered.

Lin Chuan laughed heartily, “What’s there to worry about? If they come, they’ll just be adding to your achievements. Two years is too long; you need to speed up!”

Xia Qingqing pouted, “I don’t want those achievements of yours, your safety is what’s most important.”

Autumn carried a slight chill.

The morning light outside the 17th floor, shining through the glass windows onto the desk, cast a diagonal square of sunlight that made Xia Qingqing’s cheeks appear very fair and lively.

“Don’t worry; even if they want to move against me, they’ll have to weigh their options.”

Lin Chuan felt a slight warmth in his heart and smiled.

He guessed that Elder Zhong from the bureau, who was out of Xia Qingqing’s reach, must be the one who had her deliver messages.

This Elder Zhong had opened many doors of convenience for Lin Chuan when he dealt with the Old Street Factory District.

Lin Chuan kept this in mind.

Now, whenever there was the slightest disturbance in the Baisheng Group behind the Old Street Factory District, Elder Zhong would have someone inform Lin Chuan, and this touched Lin Chuan’s heart.

However, Elder Zhong might not know that Lin Chuan was now cooperating with the National Weapons Research Institute and maintaining close contact with Sun Cheng.

The Baisheng Group wouldn’t dare make an obvious move against Lin Chuan and had to act extremely covertly, ensuring a lethal strike without leaving any traces!

Otherwise, the consequences would be troublesome!

This was the reason Lin Chuan was venturing into ‘military weapon production’; at least it would temper the hostility of these opposing forces.
