Qu Xiangru was stunned for a long time and uncertainly asked, "Where did you get this information?"

Song Guanchao told her all about how Yan Han was framed and the direction of his current investigation.

Qu Xiangru immediately understood and knew on what basis he had come to such a conclusion.

Following Song Guanchao's train of thought, she carefully pondered and came to the same conclusion.

Zhang Yan, is really going to be framed!

A warm feeling surged in Qu Xiangru's heart; a Deputy Mayor position had many contenders.

Although even if Zhang Yan vacated the position, not just anyone could seize it, gaining the upper hand was still advantageous.

With just this information, Song Guanchao could completely use it to gain favor with Jiangzhou's party committee, or even the provincial party committee leaders.

But he did not hesitate and told her first.

"Be careful when you're investigating." She said softly.

"Are you worried about me?"

Song Guanchao sensed the change in her tone, feeling that his efforts were not in vain.

"Rest early." Qu Xiangru didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.

Song Guanchao looked at the phone that was hung up and chuckled.

Not a word was spoken that night.

On the following day, when Song Guanchao and the others were having breakfast, they once again bumped into Zhou Xin and his group.

Zhou Xin occasionally glanced over and then engaged in low conversation with Yao Lian and the others.

After breakfast, on the way back to the dormitory, Cheng Xiang asked, "Old Song, when are you meeting the seller?"

"A bit later."

"Is there anything that needs to be prepared?"

"No need to prepare, you all can go back to rest or go shopping, and I'll contact you before we set off in the evening."

"I'll stay in the room and won't go anywhere. Just call me when we're heading out."

"Alright."

Song Guanchao went back to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and started chatting with Liang Jiajia on his phone.

Liang Jiajia: "Aren't you going out today?"

"Action at night, staying in the dorm during the day."

"Then I'll come find you."

"Great!"

Song Guanchao felt a bit heated inside.

Although staying in the party school dormitory was slightly inconvenient.

But there are more solutions than problems, at worst, just keep the noise down.

The dorm's soundproofing is pretty good.

"Knock, knock." A knocking sound suddenly came.

He put down his phone and opened the door to see Jiang Yiren standing there.

"Something up?"

"Can we talk inside?"

Song Guanchao turned around and went back into the room, Jiang Yiren came in and gently closed the door behind her.

She sat on the bed and said, "After this case is finished, do you have time?"

Song Guanchao leaned back on the chair and said, "Asking about the future now, who can say for sure. Why? Want to ask me out?"

Jiang Yiren blushed slightly, shook her head, hesitated to speak, seemingly struggling to say something.

After a few seconds of internal struggle, she finally said, "My uncle wants to invite you for a meal."

"No need." Song Guanchao rejected immediately without thinking.

Jiang Yiren didn't seem surprised by his response at all.

Although she was prepared, she still felt quite disappointed.

She always thought that her relationship with Song Guanchao was not bad, at least as friends.

But every time she asked him for help, he always refused heartlessly, making her feel that perhaps they weren't even friends.

"Knock, knock."

The sound of knocking came again suddenly.

Song Guanchao opened the door and was a bit surprised: "Old Chen? What's the matter?"

Chen Yirou walked in naturally: "Nothing…"

She wanted to say, "Can't I visit you if there's nothing?" but as soon as she started, she saw Jiang Yiren sitting on the bed.

She immediately swallowed her words, a look of panic briefly flashed in her eyes, then returned to calm: "Yiren is here too?"

She acted very naturally, pulled out a chair and sat down, and without turning her head, asked: "What time should I call that man?"

"Contact him after dinner."

"Won't that be too late?"

"It won't. This group are all night owls."

Song Guanchao was puzzled; this woman came just to ask this?

Something that could be answered in a single sentence could have been asked at the door; there was no need to come in, right?

Moreover, now that she's asked, isn't it time to leave?

But from the looks of it, she had no intention of leaving.

"Want to play some cards?" Chen Yirou suddenly suggested.

Jiang Yiren shook her head and stood up saying, "No, I'm going back."

Being refused by Song Guanchao again, Jiang Yiren didn't really feel up to it.

After she left, Chen Yirou also stood up.

Song Guanchao thought she was leaving, moved aside, but then saw her go sit at the exact spot Jiang Yiren was just in.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Yirou lifted her face to look at him.

"...Nothing."

This tone left Song Guanchao with nothing to say.

However, being alone with a woman in a room with nothing serious to discuss felt quite awkward.

Especially since Liang Jiajia was coming soon.

Although Song Guanchao hadn't done anything wrong, explaining the situation might still make her jealous.

"We're acting tonight, it's a bit early for you to come now." Song Guanchao said politely.

Chen Yirou leaned back on her hands lazily: "What? Not welcoming me?"

"I would welcome you at another time, for sure."

Chen Yirou immediately caught the subtext: "You have a guest?"

Song Guanchao said directly: "My girlfriend will be coming over in a bit."

"Got it."

Chen Yirou nodded, patting the bed sheet and said: "Going into battle in a while, eh? I won't disturb you then."

She got up and headed to the door, paused by Song Guanchao, and said: "You mentioned before, being physically close to Jiang Yiren but not living together?"

Song Guanchao was taken aback, wondering why this came up.

He instinctively nodded.

Chen Yirou acknowledged with a smile: "Call me when you head out tonight."

Watching her leave, Song Guanchao felt something odd about her today.

The last question she asked... Was it Jiang Yiren who put her up to it?

Shaking his head, Song Guanchao didn't bother to ponder too much.

Soon after, Liang Jiajia arrived.

As soon as she entered the room, without even closing the door, she plunged into his arms, biting his lips.

Their tongues entwined and Song Guanchao used his foot to quickly close the door.

He lifted Liang Jiajia and moved further inside.

They were entangled until noon.

The two lay naked on the bed, clothes scattered everywhere, the sheets and blanket in disarray.

Liang Jiajia's fair skin was like a serpent coiled on Song Guanchao's body.

Seeing the time, Song Guanchao sat up and said, "I'll go grab some food."

"I want braised pork." Liang Jiajia said weakly.

Song Guanchao chuckled and agreed.

After going at it for more than two hours almost non-stop, both were deeply exhausted.

When he left the room, only a few steps away, Chen Yirou happened to also come out.

"Going to the cafeteria?"

"Yes... haven't you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Chen Yirou yawned, covering her mouth: "Just woke up."

As they walked towards the cafeteria, Chen Yirou suddenly sniffed and said: "You smell good, it's your girlfriend's scent?"

Song Guanchao readily acknowledged it.

He wasn't a young man fresh out of school; he didn't feel embarrassed about such things.

"By the way." Chen Yirou suddenly asked: "Do we continue pretending to be a couple tonight?"
