Chapter 208 Admiral Beta is the romantic male partner (34)
There was a hint of smile in Lin Shen's eyes, which made his beautiful eyes and eyebrows look even more charming.
Lin Shen's behavior made the three people present stunned for a moment. Their throats rolled unconsciously, obviously they were captivated by Lin Shen's charm.
Xiao Qiyu was the first to react. He tightened his hands slightly and suppressed the fluctuations in his heart.
Lin Shen said calmly: "Okay, go out, and take the training seriously."
Upon hearing this, the three people nodded, with innocent smiles on their faces, as if the shock just now had never happened.
Just as the three of them walked to the door, Lin Shen suddenly remembered something and called one of them: "Chu Xu, stay for a moment."
Chu Xu turned his head in surprise, his eyes full of smiles, and he was obviously very happy to be left alone.
Xiao Qiyu clenched his fists, but his face remained calm. He glanced at Lin Shen and Chu Xu, then left the room directly.
He knew that Lin Shen would not treat anyone specially, so even though he felt a little unhappy, he chose to remain calm.
Qi Liyang did not have such good ability to control his emotions. He could not hide what was in his heart and glared at Chu Xu fiercely.
That look seemed to be saying: Don't think I didn't see your smug look just now.
Qi Liyang's dissatisfaction and jealousy were almost beyond words, but he also understood that now was not the time to lose his temper, so he could only swallow his anger and leave with Xiao Qiyu.
Only Lin Shen and Chu Xu were left in the room. Chu Xu still had a smile on his face. He was expecting Lin Shen to give him special instructions or tasks.
Lin Shen returned to his desk and sat down. His expression became serious again, and he was ready to discuss the next arrangements with Chu Xu.
Chu Xu looked at Lin Shen's serious expression and began to get nervous. His heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and the pounding feeling made him feel a little uneasy.
Lin Shen noticed Chu Xu's nervousness and quickly put on a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere: "I have something to ask you today, about your sister."
Hearing this, Chu Xu felt a sense of loss in his heart. He didn't know why, he hoped that Lin Shen was not asking about this topic.
He hesitated only for a moment, then smiled and replied, "My lord, what is the matter?"
Lin Shen's hands tapped the table lightly, making a "nagging" sound. His face was slightly solemn. He asked, "Do you know if your sister has any other good friends besides you? Of course, it would be best if she had some contact with someone in the military, especially a soldier."
Chu Xu was stunned. He began to think carefully, but no specific person emerged in his memory.
He frowned in distress, looking somewhat helpless.
Seeing this, Lin Shen was about to offer words of comfort, but Chu Xu suddenly spoke up: "I've never seen my sister get particularly close to anyone, and I didn't care much about these things before. But my sister once mentioned someone to me. She said that person was very capable and would surpass her in time. At that time, my sister's eyes were full of admiration."
When Lin Shen heard this, he was stunned. He smiled and asked curiously, "What's your name?"
Chu Xu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know: "I don't know his full name, I only know that my sister calls him Xiaojiu."
This name doesn't sound like a formal title, but Lin Shen frowned slightly. It is obvious that this name may have some meaning to him.
He noted the clue and prepared to investigate further.
Lin Shen pondered for a moment and realized that he should start his investigation from the soldiers around Chu Qingqian. He was not in the army at that time and did not know the personnel relationships around Chu Qingqian.
Besides, almost all the participants in that battle had died, so it was not easy to find clues. Lin Shen thought, maybe he could ask Qiao Jili, who was already in the army at the time and might know something.
Lin Shen nodded, sat back in his seat, and said to Chu Xu: "Okay, I understand, thank you for the information."
Chu Xu's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard Lin Shen's thanks, and he said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, they are all small things. It's my honor to be able to help you."
Lin Shen smiled and said nothing, while Chu Xu retreated respectfully and closed the door gently.
Lin Shen sat alone in the office and began to seriously think about the next steps of the investigation.
At this moment, his light brain vibrated a few times. Lin Shen turned on the light brain and the first thing he saw was the message at the top. It was sent by Qiao Yu, asking him if he was free today. If not, he suggested going on a date together.
Lin Shen's fingers rested lightly on the keyboard, preparing to reply.
Suddenly, the computer vibrated a few times, and several new messages came in, sent by Bai Zhao.
Lin Shen temporarily put aside the matter of replying to Qiao Yu and clicked on Bai Zhao's message.
[Shen Shen, how about going out to play today? ]
【My new bar. 】
[I will mix the drink for you myself.]
【Are you coming? 】
[Please, come on, show me your support. ]
Lin Shen's fingers rested lightly on the keyboard, his eyes revealing a hint of teasing, because he knew that the following plot would be an important turning point.
This time, it was the first time that Qiao Yu saw Lin Shen fooling around with others in the bar, followed by a fierce quarrel with the original owner.
There was a hint of smile in the corner of Lin Shen's eyes, and he thought to himself that the end of this story should be not far away.
His fingers moved lightly on the keyboard, and he first replied to Bai Zhao's message with a simple "OK", indicating that he had received the message.
Then, he turned to the news about Qiao Yu, still with a hint of smile on his face, but his eyes had become somewhat cold.
He typed away on the keyboard and replied, "I'm busy. Let's talk later."
These few words, though seemingly casual, actually imply a sense of alienation and rejection, as if foreshadowing the conflict to come.
Lin Shen knew that such a reply would disappoint Qiao Yu and might even arouse his anger and suspicion.
Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction.
