Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Enthusiastic Sister Qi, Knowing the Times
Claire Green’s fingers twitched slightly, thinking of that particular person who had just left, still unsure about something.
Suddenly, a mute amusement flickered in her eyes; this girl truly loves to overthink.
"I’ve already applied the medicine," Claire’s voice was husky, "but it’s you who needs a good rest, brother."
After speaking, she directly snatched the item from the man’s hand and tossed it aside, leading him to the bed.
"Get on."
Just two words, yet they exuded an unquestionable tone.
Julian Sia’s eyes paused slightly, wondering if Claire didn’t realize she was enticing a crime.
Seeing him remain still, Claire was too lazy to say more, directly pushing him down onto the bed before he could react, flattening him onto it.
Suddenly being pushed, Julian was taken aback, then lay on the bed, laughing joyfully, with a deep and mischievous glint in his eyes.
"You really are quite enthusiastic, Claire."
To this, Claire curved her lips, "I can be even more enthusiastic."
As soon as she finished speaking.
With clearly defined fingers, she lifted the quilt and wrapped him entirely.
"Brother, keep those thoughts healthy, and sleep now."
Listening to the departing footsteps, Julian pulled the quilt down; just a minute ago, he was immaculate, but now his hair was disheveled, and even his clothes had creases.
His extremely magnetic, pleasant laughter echoed in the empty room, tinged with sleepy hoarseness.
He closed his previously sleepless eyes, and his breathing slowly became steady.
At this moment.
Claire turned back, staring at the person asleep on the bed, a faint smile at the corners of her lips.
One had to admit, even asleep, he looked handsome.
...
At the police station, just as Zhang Yuhan returned from an assignment, he saw his capable subordinate looking troubled, pacing back and forth.
A bad premonition rose in his heart, prompting him to frown, "Wasn’t it you who was sent to the hospital to bring him back; did something happen?"
Deng Xia nodded and whispered into his ear, "Li Canliang was taken away by someone, I went to Director Liu, but he said to ignore it."
Zhang Yuhan’s eyes hardened as he tossed the item in his hand at him, striding purposefully toward the innermost office.
At this time.
Director Liu was repeatedly wiping the sweat off his forehead, smiling cautiously, "Yes, we won’t intervene, rest assured."
Finally satisfying the person on the other end of the phone call, as soon as he hung up, he saw Zhang Yuhan pushing the door open with a cold face.
"Director Liu, do you know who took Li Canliang?"
Zhang Yuhan didn’t bother beating around the bush, directly questioning.
Seeing this.
Director Liu was not angry but gestured for him to sit before speaking earnestly, "Yuhan, at our level, sometimes we have to know when to give in, I know your thoughts, but do you know who took him this time?"
"Who?"
"The Green Estate in Capital City."
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Yuhan’s expression changed, disbelief in his eyes, "You mean that distinguished Green Estate."
"That’s right," Director Liu nodded, "With Old Master Green’s request, we have to give him face."
In the end.
"And just now, Mr. Xu also called, indicating we can’t intervene, and from his words, it seemed like he was very concerned about and protective of Claire Green, so..."
He didn’t say the rest, but Zhang Yuhan understood; they had to act like nothing happened.
"But what will people think of us if this gets out?" Zhang Yuhan frowned tightly, his voice filled with discontent.
Keenly aware of this, Director Liu smiled as he pushed a file toward him, "Open it and take a look."
Filled with confusion, Zhang Yuhan opened the file, and his face changed dramatically; he initially thought Li Canliang was only involved in an attempted murder, but he didn’t expect there to be so many crimes.
The crimes listed were enough to warrant a life sentence.
"These were found by Old Master Green’s people, enough to provide an explanation. Don’t worry, Old Master is a soldier; he wouldn’t do anything illegal."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuhan pondered, thinking it made sense, yet why did they take the person away?
Suddenly.
An unbelievable thought crossed his mind.
Could Claire Green be part of Capital City’s Green Estate?
Startled by his own thoughts, Zhang Yuhan walked out of the office with a peculiar expression.
Outside, Deng Xia scratched his head seeing this, "Boss, how was it?"
Zhang Yuhan collected his thoughts, responding blandly, "We don’t need to concern ourselves with this case. Have there been any leads on the gas station incident?"
Mentioning this caused Deng Xia a headache; he had been following up for ages without any progress, yet Director Lin would come by every day to urge them on.
Seeing his silence, Zhang Yuhan knew there were still no leads, "Keep investigating."
"Yes."
...
Julian Sia woke up by noon, his cool eyes still tinged with post-sleep laziness.
Turning his head, he saw a girl quietly curled up on the nearby sofa, sunlight streaming in through the window, casting a gentle glow on her.
The man’s refined features broke into a smile, as he lightly took the quilt off himself, stepping softly towards her.
Watching her peaceful sleeping face, Julian rose and gently draped a blanket over her, then bent his long legs, sitting by the sofa on the carpet, eyes lowered as he dealt with messages on his phone.
The sunlight enveloped the two, suggesting a semblance of peace and tranquility.
Upon waking, Claire saw this scene, her beautiful lips slowly curving into a smile, her voice slightly hoarse, "Doesn’t brother want to sleep a bit more?"
Hearing her voice, Julian glanced sideways, giving a quiet acknowledgment, rubbing her head lightly with his fingertip, "Would you like to get up and eat?"
Claire responded softly, lazily getting up with the aid of his hand.
...
Downstairs.
The gaze of Mason Quinn and the others occasionally drifted toward the staircase.
"What have they been doing upstairs for hours, really left to wonder?"
"Stop feigning purity when you’re known for being quite the player," George Xyler raised an eyebrow, teasing playfully.
With those words.
An apple flew towards him.
Mason rolled his eyes, "Stop falsely accusing me."
As if he wasn’t guilty of the same.
However.
Julian and Claire wouldn’t have—
Isabella Xyler propped her chin, humming a joyful tune, radiating happiness all over.
At this sight.
John Sinclair and Sebastian Winn exchanged exasperated glances, seeing Isabella so happy with Claire eaten just like that?
At this time, movement came from the staircase.
Their gazes immediately shifted over.
Seeing the two walking down side by side, their expressions instantly turned suggestive.
"Julian, you really are quite the beast," Mason joked cheerfully, "If Yuchen hadn’t gone back to deal with things, seeing you act like this would’ve made him fight you for sure."
Knowing Claire had just turned adult, Julian making a move was bound to make the Green Estate frown.
Especially Old Master Green, likely itching to shoot Julian himself.
Even George Xyler joined in, "Julian, this time I side with Mason, you’re indeed beastly."
Listening to the two, Julian’s eyes narrowed, a nonchalant yet dangerous tone, "Since your brains are of no use, might as well donate them."
By his side, Claire’s crimson lips curved, her gaze meaningful as she looked at him, "Brother, wouldn’t this be considered birds of a feather flock together?"
Sharing the same unsavory thoughts.
