Chapter 292 Sonic Sphere (1/2)
The cool night wind blew in from the window, and the buzzing sound of the work station filled their ears. It was a little noisy, but Han Xiao was chatting casually with Lu Qian.
”Your shop has been here for quite a number of years, how's business?”
Lu Qian's hair was tied back, and she wore a safety mask. While looking down and welding the metal, she replied, ”With such a bad location, of course, the business isn't good.”
”You seemed busy when I came in.”
Lu Qian shook her head. ”I'm the only one here. With the orders stacking up, of course, there is always something to do.”
”Aren't you going to hire a helper?”
Lu Qian paused and sighed. ”Hired one before, left.”
”Probably because the salary was too low.” Han Xiao shook his head in disapproval.
”Was that the reason?” Lu Qian doubted.
She was just an ordinary person and did not know about these large issues. Han Xiao had left without saying goodbye back then and had been uncontactable since, so Lu Qian still held a grudge.
The apprentice worker whom they had finally been able to hire had disappeared just like that.
Although they did not spend a very long time together, Han Xiao had left a very deep impression on Lu Qian. Old Man Lu and she had been the only ones in the shop before, and with one more person joining in, it had felt much livelier. She had felt happy during the time they spent together. However, even after a very long wait, Han Xiao still had not returned, greatly upsetting Lu Qian.
”Since business is not good, have you ever thought of moving elsewhere?”
Lu Qian shook her head. ”This is my home.”
Rapid and dense footsteps approached. A group of field agents arrived in the dark.
At this time, the unconscious field agent slowly woke up. His expression changed, and he immediately wanted to get up with a roll. However, a fist enlarged in front of his eyes.
Bang!
Han Xiao knocked him out once again right before the eyes of the field agent team.
”Freeze, raise your hands!” The field agent team raised their guns and aimed at Han Xiao as the captain yelled, ”We are Stardragon Strategic Defense Division. We need to verify your identity. You have to come with us.”
Swoosh!
With a few flashes of light, the muzzles of the field agent team's handguns were sliced open smoothly.
The captain's expression changed immediately. ”Requesting back—”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a blink of an eye, Han Xiao, who had been sitting on the chair just a second ago, was in the middle of the people. The field agent team who had entered ferociously were now all on the floor. With his attributes, knocking down these LV 10 normal field agents in an instant was a piece of cake.
Security is too weak. I hope this will make Division 13 strengthen their guards. Hmm, it would be best if they don't even let the players in.
Han Xiao shook his head, took out stacks of cash, placed it on the table, and left.
Lu Qian regained focus. She stared at Han Xiao's back and suddenly asked, ”Have we met before?”
Without turning back, Han Xiao smiled faintly and said, ”No, we haven't.”
After he disappeared into the night, Lu Qian put down the things in her hands. She took off the protective mask, tucked her hair behind her ear, and suddenly smiled, a smile with unspoken meanings.
