I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

He met Gao Mingyao's sincere dark eyes.

Nan Shu was momentarily stunned, then smiled.

"I will talk to Brother Lei, but whether he comes or not is beyond my control."

Shi Lei is younger than Gao Mingyao, but Gao Mingyao still calls him "Brother Lei" because he's used to calling him that.

Upon hearing this, Gao Mingyao laughed, leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air, and switched hands to hold the phone.

"Then forget it, let him be. He'll definitely cry again later, what a hassle."

His tone was full of helplessness.

Nan Shu didn't know what to say, so she simply hummed in agreement.

Gao Mingyao seemed to sense Nan Shu's emotions as well, his eyes flickered, and he sighed softly.

"Xiao Shu, thank you."

Nan Shu looked at him and pursed her lips.

Holding the phone, I didn't say a word, but my eyes inexplicably stung, and I felt a little sad.

This kind of distress was something she had never felt when she heard the news of Nan Jianye's death, yet even though Gao Mingyao was right there, Nan Shu felt extremely distressed.

If... if the Gao family hadn't met with this misfortune back then.

With the guidance of Gao Wensheng and his wife in raising their two children, Gao Mingyao might already be running the company, dressed in a suit and tie, bright and flamboyant.

Or perhaps, he will become the person he wants to be.

But life has no "what ifs" and can't be relived. Just like those who have died, once they're dead, they're dead. That's life—full of regrets.

Stepping out of the detention center, a gust of cold wind blew straight up her neck, causing Nan Shu to shrink her neck and pull her down jacket tighter.

The detention center was quite close to the northern suburbs. Nan Shu stood at the entrance for a while, then got into her car and drove to the unfinished building.

Anyway, Liu Ming and the others were secretly following her, so she was safe and didn't need to go back to the villa to pick up Tie Hanhan.

Less than half an hour.

Police cars were parked in front of the unfinished building.

There was no road in the world originally, but as more cars drove over it, a road appeared. Nan Shu had been to this place many times and knew it like the back of her hand.

Nan Shu got out of the car, stood under the unfinished building, and looked up at the building in front of her.

Surrounded by desolate vegetation, the unfinished building stands alone like a lonely tombstone.

Nan Shu let out a soft sigh, feeling that her emotions had been fluctuating a bit today, and she had even started to feel sentimental. She rubbed her face, which was red from the wind, and stepped into the unfinished building.

She hadn't walked more than a few steps when she heard a voice calling her name.

"Xiaoshu."

Nan Shu paused, turned around, and saw a black dot flying towards her from a distance. The black dot approached quickly and was right in front of Nan Shu in no time.

Nan Shu stepped forward, a smile playing on her lips, her tone becoming more cheerful.

"Old Hei, what brings you here?"

Old Black's claws hooked around the rusty iron railing. His dark eyes glanced at Nan Shu, then, without a word, turned and shouted into the bushes:

"I called you back, can't you be a little more dignified?"

Nan Shu was taken aback.

Just then, the grass rustled not far away, and Old Gray emerged from it with his head drooping. He glanced at Nan Shu with his emerald green eyes, then quickly looked away.

Judging by the distance, if it weren't for the bushes providing cover, they would be almost right in front of Nan Shu.

It was obvious that he had been following Nan Shu after she got out of the car.

Liu Ming and the others had seen Old Gray before, so they didn't make a move and just let Old Gray follow them.

Nan Shu was both amused and exasperated. She took a few steps forward, squatted down, and rubbed Old Gray's head.

It's like rubbing a dog's head.

Old Grey thought, "It's a wolf!"

Its tail wagged uncontrollably.

Old Hei couldn't bear to look anymore.

"Old Grey, how's your mouth healing? Let me see." Nan Shu touched its wet nose and was about to help pry its mouth open when she saw Old Grey open its mouth.

Old Gray: Ah!

Old Black: ……

Shameful.

Nan Shu took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it into its mouth. The stitched area was still a little red, which was due to the growth of the skin and flesh, but it was not swollen.

"Awesome."

Nan Shu patted its head again.

Old Gray's tail was wagging so hard it looked like a propeller, just like a dog's.

Old Hei no longer wanted to talk.

"Xiao Shu, what brings you here?"

Old Black didn't say anything, but Old Gray did.

Even the dumbest animal knew that Nan Shu had driven straight to the unfinished building, so she definitely wasn't there to look for them. Although it felt a little disappointed, it quickly comforted itself.

"right…"

Nan Shu stood up and glanced around. "Actually, I don't know what I came looking for." She paused and looked at Old Gray and Old Black.

"Can you sense anything unusual about this unfinished building?"

After Nan Shu finished speaking, she realized that this question was truly difficult for the wolf and the crow.

In fact, Nan Shu doesn't know what she wants to see.

I just had a vague guess in my mind.

Old Black was very clever. He spread his wings and flew in the air, saying, "Just search layer by layer, and you'll eventually find something different."

Nan Shu thought so too.

Anyway, she can't be of much help to the brigade, and she has plenty of time.

So, accompanied by Lao Hei and Lao Hui, Nan Shu began climbing the stairs.

The unfinished building doesn't have many floors, but each floor has a ceiling height of nearly six meters, and with a total of six or seven floors, it's about forty meters high.

Old Black has wings, and Old Gray runs around in the mountains and forests every day, so he's very muscular. In contrast, Nan Shu looks very weak. She gets out of breath after walking five steps, and by the time they reached the top floor, Nan Shu was almost out of breath.

I rested my hands on my knees for a long time to catch my breath. After this workout, my face was rosier and I looked more energetic.

Nan Shu felt a thin layer of sweat on her back, and her whole body was like a heater, steaming from the inside out.

Fortunately, Nan Shu knew that she shouldn't take off her clothes immediately after exercising, as it could easily cause her to catch a cold. She simply unzipped her jacket to let out some heat.

While they were doing all this, Old Gray and Old Black had already explored the entire floor. The top floor had an extra small terrace compared to the other floors, but it still didn't have a railing. Standing on the edge, it was a height that could smash a person into mincemeat.

"Xiao Shu, there's a strange place."

Old Black flapped its wings and flew over, saying.

Nan Shu instantly stiffened.

"where?"

Following Lao Hei, we passed through two doors and arrived at the easternmost room.

Nan Shu noticed the water pipes in the corner. Judging from the layout, if this house were built, it would probably be a laundry room or a small balcony.

The place Old Hei mentioned, which was a bit strange, was located just below the spiral staircase.

Old Gray stood below, his nose twitching, as if he were sniffing something.

Nan Shu squatted down and touched that spot.

You can actually tell from the color of the wall that it's different. Although it's also covered in dust, the color is lighter than the surrounding walls.

Nan Shu gestured, indicating that it was a rectangular area less than half a meter long and about 1.2 meters wide.

It's possible that the construction workers accidentally broke through it back then and it was repaired.

Other floors also have similar areas, but they aren't as square in shape. (End of Chapter)
