"Old Grey, what do you smell?"

As Nan Shu spoke, she leaned forward and took a sniff.

Unexpectedly, my breathing caused airflow, and I smelled a lot of dust, which made me choke.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Xiao Shu, are you alright?"

Old Gray was at a loss.

"go away."

Old Black flapped its wings, gave Old Gray a big slap, and then patted Nan Shu's back with its wings, making a slapping sound on her down jacket.

Nan Shu: ...

I suddenly feel really useless.

Nan Shu moved a little further away from the wall, took a few deep breaths, and recovered. However, her nose was a little itchy, and she felt like she wanted to yawn but couldn't, which was very uncomfortable.

Nan Shu pinched her nose, turned to look at Lao Hei, and said, "Thank you, Lao Hei, I'm fine now."

Old Black then retracted its wings, looked at the wall, and said:
"It tastes like meat."

That one sentence froze Nan Shu's smile on her face, and she turned to stare at that small area.

A sentence floated through my mind.

—Crows eat carrion.

……

Sirens sound.

The unfinished building was once again packed with people.

Especially in front of that wall that smelled of meat, stood two professionals wearing protective gear and holding hammers.

Each person took a turn, not daring to knock on that area, but instead knocking along the top.

'Thump'—

A dull thud.

"eighty."

Nan Shu silently played the voice in her mind.

After several 'eighty's' in a row, the wall loosened, and the two dared not continue to smash it with force. After all, this was an unfinished building, not yet completed. Even if it wasn't a load-bearing wall, if it collapsed, it wouldn't be a joke.

The two took out chisels and began chiseling along the edge, making a clanging sound.

Why are your eyes red?

Nan Punian arrived beside Nan Shu at some point and immediately noticed the girl's eyes, which looked as if they had been washed with water. He frowned.

The corners of her eyes are still red.

"Cried?"

Nan Punian felt a pang of sadness and heartache, thinking that Nan Shu still had feelings for that old man Nan Jianye and was crying because she was heartbroken at his death.

"No, I just choked on some ash."

Nan Shu wiped her eyes and shook her head.

But Nan Punian saw this expression as his younger sister trying to hide something, which made him feel even worse.

The lip liner is cut off like a ruler.

Unfortunately, there were so many people here, making it difficult for him to comfort them.

He could only raise his hand and gently rub the top of Nan Shu's head.

“If you want to cry…” Nan Punian paused, “When we get home, I’ll lend you my shoulder to cry on.”

Nan Shu: ...

Nan Shu was both amused and exasperated, knowing he had misunderstood. She moved her lips, about to explain, when Nan Punian's phone rang.

Nan Punian patted her head again before picking up the phone and walking aside to answer it.

In just a short while, that area was chiseled open, and by cutting the thin steel wires on it, it could be completely removed.

"You cried?"

At that moment, a gentle, concerned voice rang out.

Nan Shu: ...

Nan Shu sighed helplessly and looked at Xu Yunli.

"I do not have."

Xu Yunli didn't speak, but his fox-like eyes behind his glasses observed her expression. Once he was sure she wasn't putting on a brave face, his eyes curved into a smile.

"It's fine if you don't."

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't have any feelings for Nan Jianye. Her gaze fell on his injured hand, where the white gauze was no longer there.

"Has your hand recovered?"

“Hmm…” Xu Yunli stretched out his hand, his slender fingertips moved, and he turned his wrist to reveal his palm, where the scabs had fallen off. There was a long scar there, light pink, which was different from the surrounding colors.

It ruined the beauty of the entire hand, making it look like a crack on porcelain.

"You can use growth gel now, and it shouldn't leave a scar."

Nan Shu said.

When Xu Yunli saw that she was still looking at her hands while she said this, her eyes were full of smiles, and she gently hummed in agreement.

Nan Punian hung up the phone and turned around, only to see this scene. His already unpleasant face darkened instantly.

My phone was almost crushed.

He knew it; if he didn't keep an eye on him for a moment, that bastard would try to seduce his own sister!
Nan Punian had completely lost all brotherly affection for his former brother and quickly stepped forward, blocking the way between the two.

"Get back to work as soon as your hand is healed."

Nan Punian said irritably.

"Okay, Brother Nian."

Xu Yunli wasn't angry; instead, he responded gently.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

He really wants to punch someone right now.

Nan Shu looked at the interaction between the two with a puzzled expression and asked softly, "Brother, did you two have a fight?"

Nan Shu knew that Nan Punian liked her to call him brother, and Nan Shu wanted to make him happy, so she called him that in private.

"No."

Nan Punian withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and was determined not to let Xiao Shu see through this bastard's thoughts.

He changed the subject, saying, "It seems Liu Wenyao has absconded."

Nan Shu was taken aback, and her expression also became serious.

The investigation into Cai Ren's case is still ongoing, but the Economic Crime Investigation Department has already determined that Liu Wenyao is involved in a problem and has been sending people to follow him.

He didn't want to alert the snake, but unexpectedly, the snake was alerted before he even started to stir things up, which shows how vigilant Liu Wenyao was.

"According to information from the Economic Crime Investigation Department, nearly 300 accounts under Liu Wenyao's name are inconsistent, totaling approximately 500 million yuan..."

This is just what the Economic Crime Investigation Department could find out; there are countless others that they couldn't uncover.

In the end, it seems that all the money ended up in an overseas account.

Now that Cai Renyi is dead, all the blame has been shifted onto him. Since the person is dead anyway, Liu Wenyao can simply pretend to be an innocent victim.

This was also Liu Wenyao's initial plan, which is why he arrived so late after Cai Ren jumped off the building to cooperate with the investigation.

But why did it suddenly run away?
Nan Shu felt that there was something she had overlooked.

He looked up at Nan Punian.

"Has the person who stabbed Nan Jianye in the back been found?"

There are surveillance cameras in the hospital, but the scene was too chaotic at the time.

"No, we're still looking."

Nan Punian shook his head.

These things came one after another, keeping him busy. Even Nan Punian couldn't figure out the key to them for a while.

at this time.

A gasp came from not far away.

It was posted by one of the staff members who was breaking down the wall.

The steel bar was twisted off, and the concrete was peeled off, revealing the cross-section of a white bone.

The workers from the construction team were the ones who smashed the wall, so they were naturally startled.

Nan Punian quickly stepped forward.

Nan Shu followed and saw the piece of white bone, but she wasn't too surprised; she had already guessed it.

I just don't know if this is Nan Jianye's secret.

If so, who killed this person?
"The body was completely mixed with the concrete, so it might need to be broken apart."

Xu Yunli observed carefully for a while, then said to Nan Punian.

At work, the two remained well-coordinated teammates, and Nan Punian made a decisive decision.

"Then smash it."

Xu Yunli responded softly, and he and Brother Wang picked up the awls and began to smash it little by little.

His smashing wasn't a single blow, but rather a slow, gradual process, trying to reconstruct the outline of the corpse as much as possible.

Just as the two were taking their time to do their work meticulously.

Nan Punian's phone rang again. (End of Chapter)
