Chapter 77: Why Is It You? (1)
“I didn’t know that the detective agency would have such a good-looking man like Mr. Qin. This is beyond my expectation.” Zhao Youlin took a sip of Long Black before she put the cup back on the table. Her long and slender fingers slowly slid along the edge of the white cup.
This was Zhao Youlin’s subconscious habit, and even she also did not notice it. But, Qin Huai opposite of her noticed it.
Qin Huai hid the light in his eyes before he smiled faintly. “Do you think all men who work in the detective agency look ugly and unpresentable, Ms. Zhao?”
“You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Qin.” Zhao Youlin did not feel awkward because of Qin Huai’s words. She calmly said, “I just think that as someone who needs to hide in the dark and put in the effort to not be discovered by the person who’s being investigated, your appearance really stands out. That’s it. I don’t mean anything else by it.”
“Can I take what you’ve said as a compliment about my face?” Qin Huai gently smiled, and his beautiful sparkling eyes under the sunglasses stared at the woman. It was only after a while that he said, “Speaking of which, your appearance also makes me surprised.”
“Oh?” Zhao Youlin quirked her eyebrows. “What is it?”
Qin Huai retained his smile. “I Initially thought a woman who dares to let the detective agency investigate the police had to be a strong woman who is old and doesn’t mind resorting to strong methods. But, I didn’t expect to see such a young and beautiful lady like you.”
Zhao Youlin looked up and lazily glanced at Qin Huai. She chuckled and said, “It’s very immature to judge the book by its cover. I’m sorry that I have very limited time. Where are the documents that I want?”
When Qin Huai talked with Zhao Youlin for a short while, he roughly figured out something that he wanted.
Seeing that Zhao Youlin had mentioned that subject again, he also did not change topics. He directly put the file on the table and pushed it to Zhao Youlin. “May we have a happy collaboration.”
“Let’s work together happily.” Zhao Youlin took over the file before she waved her hand and wanted to ask the waiter to come over for her to pay the bill, but she was stopped by Qin Huai.
“This cup of coffee is my treat.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned, but she also did not reject it. She nodded and said, “Sure.”
Qin Huai saw Zhao Youlin get up directly and leave the cafe. At the same time, Qin Huai’s phone also started to ring.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, he heard an agitated scream from the other end of the call. “Brother, did you take away the documents that I put on the table? You can’t do that. You’re the boss of a detective agency. Why have you shamelessly snatched your brother’s job? Brother, say something! Brother!”
“Didn’t I just take a customer from you? At the very least, I’ll give all the expenses that I’ve earned to you.”
The owner of the angry voice on the other end of the line paused for a while before he screamed, “Brother, what happened to you? You’re willing to be a part of a losing business!”
Qin Huai did not want to continue to engage with the person on the other end of the line. He simply said, “You can decide whether you want to give me the case or not. If you give it to me, you can have the money without having to do anything. Your allowance won’t be deducted.” Then, he hung up, not caring about his younger brother who was extremely curious.
After he ended the call, he discreetly looked at the bitter coffee that was still releasing hot steam on the table.
