Chapter 45 Arrives Just in Time

......

As night fell completely, warm yellow lights shone in Su Wan's apartment.

After leaving the police station, Lin Yu went home to spend some time with Anna before going to Su Wan's house.

This was after the investigation had concluded.

Su Wan collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, while Lin Yu leaned against the sofa in the living room.

After calming down, Lin Yu began to analyze what had happened that day.

Although Qin Shuang is a troublesome piece, we have already gained some initial control over her.

The key lies in how to utilize it subsequently and how to deal with the other two.

Qin Xue is clearly more difficult to deal with than Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang has many personality flaws and is not difficult to manipulate.

Qin Xue hasn't revealed any flaws so far, and she's already found out about Nightingale, so she definitely can't let things continue like this.

Li Rui's intention was clearly to get her to take some coercive measures if necessary, so the current situation is quite troublesome.

Just then, a slight sliding sound came from the window.

A dark figure slid from the balcony into the living room and landed silently.

The nightingale knelt on one knee, bowed her head, and said, "Master."

"Hmm." Lin Yu opened his eyes. "Speak."

"Li Rui went to the black market this afternoon," Nightingale's voice was cold. "He didn't go with Qin Xue; he went there himself."

Lin Yu sat up straight: "What did you do?"

"Three people were killed. One of them was a stall owner who sold old-fashioned parts. When Li Rui asked him if there were any special items circulating recently, he replied that they were all junk and not worth your attention, which was considered a sign of disrespect."

A boy who was delivering food to the stall owners spilled some soup on the ground three inches in front of Li Rui's shoes because his hand was shaking while carrying the soup.

Another was an old blind man living in a shack on the edge of the black market, simply because they "looked" in his direction as they passed by.

Lin Yu's gaze darkened.

This goes beyond establishing authority; it is pure, senseless torture and killing.

In order to demonstrate power and create panic, to force people or forces that may be hiding in the shadows to react.

"What's the situation on the black market right now?"

"People are filled with unease," said the nightingale.

"Many stall owners have packed up and gone into hiding, and business has almost come to a standstill. The middleman said that Qin Xue will formally request to meet with me tomorrow in the name of the investigation team."

"What are your plans?"

"As Master instructed, cooperate with the investigation, but keep your distance and don't reveal your hand," Nightingale replied.

"I would agree to the talks, and the location should be an old teahouse on the outskirts of the black market. In a public place, they will not dare to make a move easily."

The talks will be limited to the handover of ordinary assets and channels left by Chen Tianxiong; anything involving extraordinary items or core secrets will be claimed as unknown or destroyed.

Lin Yu nodded: "Okay, maintain your persona as a former member of the Shadow Assassins team, taking over the black market to protect yourself. Appropriately show your disappointment and severing ties with Chen Tianxiong, as well as your respect for the authority of the Bureau."

"Understood," Nightingale replied.

She finished her report, but did not leave immediately.

He remained kneeling in the same spot, slightly adjusting his posture.

The black, tight-fitting leather suit made a subtle rustling sound with each movement, and the curves of the body it outlined were breathtaking in the dim light.

She looked up at Lin Yu, her eyes glistening with a hazy, moist light, her red lips parted slightly, and she breathed softly.

Lin Yu looked at Nightingale without saying anything, but simply reached out his hand.

Nightingale immediately crawled forward on her knees, gently pressed her face against Lin Yu's outstretched palm, rubbed it affectionately, and let out a soft, satisfied whimper.

"Master~ Master~"

Just then—

The door to the master bedroom was gently pushed open.

Su Wan walked out wearing a silk robe, her hair still a little messy, and her face flushed with the lazy blush of someone who had just woken up.

She seemed to want a drink of water, and looked sleepily into the living room.

Then, she stopped in her tracks.

Seeing the nightingale perched beside Lin Yu's legs, preparing to do something.

Su Wan's sleepiness vanished almost instantly.

She stood in the bedroom doorway, her hand on the doorframe, her gaze sweeping over the two of them:

"It seems..." Su Wan said softly, drawing out her words, "I guess I've come at the wrong time?"

She spoke, but showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame.

Nightingale's body stiffened slightly, but with Lin Yu pressing her head down, she could only pretend she hadn't heard anything, her face showing a surprised expression.

Lin Yu looked at Su Wan and said calmly, "You've come at just the right time."

come over."

Su Wan gave Lin Yu a coquettish glare, but did not refuse. She walked over with captivating charm, her bare feet touching the cool floor.

She then sat down next to Lin Yu, leaning softly into his arms and deliberately rubbing against him.

"Since you're out, let's go together." Lin Yu pinched Su Wan's slender waist.

Su Wan let out a soft "Ah~", her face flushing even more.

She glared at Lin Yu reproachfully and pinched his waist with her finger:

"You...you wish!"

But her body honestly did not leave Lin Yu's embrace.

Lin Yu didn't give them much time to hesitate. He applied slight pressure to his hand, and Nightingale's beautiful eyes widened:

"Mmm...mmm..."

"Coo. Coo..."

Su Wan, on the other hand, was pulled into Lin Yu's arms and half-heartedly lay down on the sofa next to him.

Lin Yu released Nightingale and then supported Su Wan's slender waist.

Second bedroom —

Su Xiaoya curled up in the blanket, her ears pressed tightly against the wall.

"My sister and Brother Lin Yu are back... I think I can still hear the voice of that sister from last time?"

Now...they are...

Those heart-pounding sounds drifted in through the walls, muffled and reaching Su Xiaoya's ears.

Su Xiaoya bit the corner of the blanket, her cheeks burning, and her body involuntarily curled up.

Su Xiaoya suddenly felt that she wanted to be graceful, but that was definitely not the case.

The image she had glimpsed through the crack in the door that night kept replaying in her mind.

My heart was pounding like a drum.

A mixture of shame, curiosity, and intense desire spread through her body.

She longed to be embraced by Lin Yu like that, to hear his deep voice in her ear...

Su Xiaoya buried her burning face deep into the pillow, her fingers gripping the sheets tightly, her body trembling slightly.

She decided to do something, at least to prevent things from getting worse.
