Chapter 826: Chapter 816: Landlady: I Read the Spring and Autumn Annals

It turns out, some people really can’t be helped, like Wang Xing used to be—his puppy love tendencies were just too strong, completely hopeless. But fortunately, after one setback after another, he was finally stimulated to change, especially after finding a good girl like Lin Miaomiao to manage him.

Now Du Qiang is following in his footsteps, having spent such a long time in the hospital, and despite being someone that girl seemed to like, their relationship only progressed to the point of adding each other on WeChat, and that’s it.

You have to admit, there’s a reason he’s still single—opportunities are right there in front of him, and yet he hesitates to take them.

There’s not much he can say about it though, since this connection is meant to be for him, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, they’ll end up together eventually; it’s just a matter of time.

Meanwhile, Su Qing found Tang Nan at the backyard undergoing police special training. She was dressed in a police uniform, engrossed in immersive learning, while an old criminal investigator from the bureau was guiding her nearby.

Su Qing knew this was supposed to be help from the police department, since Xie Xiaoshan, the writer, wasn’t a real detective; most of his script was probably based on imagination. At first glance it seemed fine but, among many netizens, you find talents from all kinds of industries.

If something in the details was inaccurate, it would not only be disrespectful to the police industry, but also a subject for ridicule.

So Liao Dong and Xie Xiaoshan were here cramming knowledge about police knowledge; the habits of criminal investigators, case procedures, and some specialized techniques—all needing guidance from experts, plus industry jargon that required dissemination.

Thus, Su Qing merely stood to the side observing, not interrupting, while Tang Nan practiced simple martial arts under the old detective’s guidance.

Calling it martial arts was quite an exaggeration, it was more like posturing. After all, her character in the drama was that of a super-combat detective; not having real skills was fine since she was merely an actor, but failing to strike any poses was simply unacceptable.

Then again, not everyone was a freak like Li Zijun. Based on his estimates, Zijun’s sister single-handedly could take on two ordinary men. If she played dirty with a surprise attack or had some weapons at hand, her combat strength would double.

Concerning himself, Su Qing was always well-aware; he was just an ordinary man, neither practiced in martial arts nor even worked out, and somewhat skinny, thus he never dared provoke that lady knight, he would truly get beaten!

"Ha~"

"Roar!"

"Hey!"

Watching Tang Nan practice each move with utter focus, Su Qing couldn’t help but laugh—once upon a time did Tang Nan ever act so seriously? She was a prime example of someone who thrived on looks.

But now, to transform her career, she had no choice but to throw herself into something she’d never done before.

"How... how do I look? Your sister here looks handsome, right?"

Tang Nan finally finished today’s ’martial arts’ training and ran over to him with pride, her neck held high with nothing but pride.

Honestly, paired with her current police outfit, she really didn’t look like a cop—the aura wasn’t there unless she remained silent like a mute bride, otherwise, a single word would betray her disguise, leaving her far from resembling a detective.

"Cool, too cool! That aerobics was truly dashing!" Su Qing laughed with a thumbs up.

Tang Nan’s expression changed upon hearing this: "Get lost. I just learned Arresting Skills, and you think I’d endure such slander? Watch out!"

Tang Nan then performed a ’thief delight punch’ in front of him, her small fists swinging so fast they left traces.

Though maybe due to spending too much time in front of the camera, or having a truly weak body, the supposedly orthodox starting stance had her butt sticking out exaggeratedly, coupled with a suggestive twist and shake of her waistline.

Watching from nearby, the old detective’s eyelid twitched furiously; if Tang Nan was his student or a cop under his command, he’d have kicked her long ago.

Su Qing: o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

"Hahaha, are you seriously planning to use this set of punches in your scenes? Hoping that the crooks die of excitement or exhaustion before getting caught? Hilarious!

Don’t worry, with your Arresting Skills just demonstrated, you’ll definitely become a legend among female artists. I’m rooting for you!"

Upon hearing this, possibly realizing her previous performance was slightly lacking, Tang Nan’s face flushed red; stubbornly she said: "I... I just need a while longer to adjust. Give me a few more practice days and I’ll definitely master it. By the way, did you... take any photos?"

Su Qing quickly composed himself, adopting a righteous stance as he spoke solemnly: "No, as a man of integrity, I wouldn’t do such a devious thing."

Hearing this, Tang Nan was visibly relieved, yet within seconds Su Qing’s thumb was up, and a beam of sunshine reflected off his pristine teeth with a ’ding’.

"I filmed it!"

Tang Nan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"You rascal! I’m going to get even with you! You’re dead, delete it, quickly!"

Soon after, screams echoed from Tang Nan in the police department’s backyard, attracting curious glances from some onlookers.

Fortunately, Tang Nan wasn’t a first-day visitor; some young folks in the police had already lined up for her signature, selfies, so no one took out their phone to film. Otherwise, Tang Nan’s innocent maiden image might’ve collapsed today.

"Xiaoyi, control your man! I asked him to help me at the police station; he... he actually filmed me! Come on, tell him to delete the video!"

Over at the Fengyang Restaurant, now transformed into the Youjian Beauty Salon, Tang Nan was indignantly complaining to Shen Yi, possibly too agitated for her face had turned quite red and her neck strained.

Luckily, since they hadn’t officially opened yet, the salon was empty, with few staff around.

Otherwise, she’d be losing face all across Jiang City today.

"Didn’t you offer to show me in the first place? Weren’t you so confident? If you think I’m wrong, why not perform here? I already sent the video to Sister Wen and Xiaoyi, whether they delete it isn’t my business." Su Qing taunted from behind Shen Yi, dodging around her like a king avoiding capture.

Chased all the way from the police department here, she’s got quite some persistence.

It’s Saturday today, so Shen Yi didn’t go to the company, instead heading over with the landlord’s wife to check her store and offer some advice.

"What? You shameless! You already sent it to them, I’m gonna kill you!"

Watching Tang Nan’s ferocious gestures, Su Qing remained unflustered; with Shen Auntie and the landlord’s wife shielding in front.

Just as expected, the landlord’s wife did a ’moon snatch’ move, encircling Tang Nan’s leg and pulling her onto the couch beside her in fits of laughter.

"Alright, it’s just a video, why are you so excited? I watched it, the dance was good, very sexy, I saved it, hahaha, when you get married, I’ll definitely show it to everyone!"

Shen Yi chimed in with a cold smile from the side, "Lucky my brother recorded a video, otherwise I would’ve thought you were trying to seduce him!"

"Ahhhhh, too much! Shen Yi, dare to bully me when my knife is dull? If that’s how it is, then none of us will live!"

With that said, Tang Nan struggled to get up, quickly took out her phone, searched for something, and her lips curled up slightly, "Oh, I suddenly realized I have someone’s secret photos, the very cool kind?

Brother, aren’t you curious, do you want to see?"

As soon as she said this, the landlady and Shen Yi’s faces changed instantly.

The three of them used to be so close they’d wear the same pants, sleeping together countless times, wearing nothing.

"Not curious!" Su Qing immediately spoke up. Why should he be curious about this stuff? He even knows how many moles Shen Yi has, just some secret photos, challenging the cadre with this, what cadre couldn’t withstand such a test?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi suddenly realized, yeah, her body is practically his now, afraid of looking? Who’s she trying to scare?

But while Shen Yi could be indifferent, the landlady could not. Sure enough, in the next second, Tang Nan continued, "Not just Xiao Yi, but Sister Qing too, tsk tsk tsk, aren’t you curious?"

Su Qing: ???

Before he could react, the landlady threw her phone down and rushed forward, exclaiming with a sweet voice, "No, not that, that’s not allowed!"

Tang Nan then made a break for it, with the landlady chasing behind.

Seeing this, Su Qing and Shen Yi shook their heads simultaneously and chuckled, threatening them with the landlady’s private photos, what are they thinking?

With this, Su Qing sat directly beside Shen Yi, picked up her iced drink, took a sip, and felt incredibly comfortable, as if he was about to fly.

"Are you really not curious? Sister Qing’s figure is so alluring that even I’d be jealous as a woman!"

Right then, Shen Yi leaned in and asked with a playful smile.

[Warning! Warning! Aunt Shen is fishing in enforcement, never trust a woman’s deceitful mouth, quickly deny it!]

The voiceover in his mind seemed more urgent than ever, indicating his situation was extremely dangerous.

But Su Qing was long unbothered by this, leisurely responding, "Why should I be curious? She’s not my wife, besides, seeing it won’t add more flesh to me."

[Alert cleared, you survived a crisis, but haven’t fully escaped]

The next second, Tang Nan’s voice came from behind him, "Look, Sister Qing, little Su isn’t even interested in you, not curious at all, tsk tsk tsk, seems I’ve overestimated you!"

As soon as she finished talking, Su Qing felt a hand rest on his shoulder from behind, and the landlady’s voice drifted over:

"I see, I must be getting old, young people aren’t interested anymore. Little Su, where have I grown wrinkles?"

Hearing this, Su Qing turned his head, only to see the landlady smiling at him, her face like a blooming flower, yet he felt a chill.

Oh no... it seems I’ve fallen into a trap! Doomed either way?

[The landlady is angry, the consequences are severe, unless you can hold onto her weakness, perhaps the phone on the sofa!]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but glance at the sofa beside him, the landlady’s phone was there, still lit up, he glanced at it quickly and was suddenly shocked.

"Kind Auntie? This is..."

The next moment, the landlady screamed, pounced forward, and clutched the phone tightly under her body.

"No, you looked wrong!"

But Tang Nan, finally seizing the chance, didn’t want to let it go, rushing to grab it, "What is it, let me see, Xiao Yi, quickly!"

Yet the landlady was evidently faster, quickly turning the phone off, saying, "You saw wrong, I didn’t see anything!"

"Nonsense, little Su said it, kind auntie, if you won’t let me see, I’ll search by myself." With that, Tang Nan began searching.

"No searching allowed!" The landlady’s pretty face was flushed.

"Wow, Sister Qing, you’re reading these kinds of novels, how thrilling! Let me read it out loud for you!"

But before she could speak, Tang Nan was pinned to the sofa by the landlady, not allowed to get up.

"What is kind auntie?" Shen Yi asked curiously, she genuinely didn’t know.

Su Qing heard, quickly, and somewhat awkwardly responded, "Could it be Liu Bei or Liu Xuande?"

"Liu Bei? What do you mean?"

To this, Su Qing couldn’t explain in this setting, couldn’t possibly claim it’s the landlady’s study material, Liu Prince’s saga!

Seeing Shen Yi’s curious baby eyes and Su Qing’s expression of wanting to speak but holding back, the landlady felt her whole body heating up, as if transforming into a steam princess.

"Boohoo, Sister Qing is reading adult novels, I saw it!" Tang Nan struggled, blurting out the secret.

"You’re lying, how could I read such books, I read ’Spring and Autumn’!"

The three of them:...
