Peerless Cupid System

Ling Ziqian was extremely embarrassed, his heart was racing. Since the old man didn't speak, he had no choice but to continue, "In this incident, many details cannot withstand scrutiny, such as the old man's habits, and the clues provided by the servants, such as their coordinated testimonies, which have many loopholes. That's why I came to this conclusion."

Having nothing more to say, Ling Ziqian remained silent, anxiously awaiting the old man's judgment.

The old man initially frowned, but as he listened to Ling Ziqian's deductions, his brows relaxed and he smiled.

After Ling Ziqian finished speaking, he didn't reply, but instead clapped his hands. He was applauding...

Chapter 176: He touched a handful of long hair again!

The old man smiled and applauded Ling Ziqian.

Even an idiot could understand what this action meant.

Shen Qiaoyan, Xu Ya, and Huo Nan were extremely excited.

The square-faced young man was stunned. He hadn't expected the truth to be like this.

The man in the tie looked like he'd swallowed a fly, too frustrated to speak.

He wasn't upset because of the truth, but because Ling Ziqian had actually resolved the matter.

No matter how you look at it, Ling Ziqian is just a high school student, while he is a famous detective in a well-known agency!

"You guessed right, it's as if you saw right through my thoughts." The old man smiled at Ling Ziqian, giving him high praise.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head sheepishly, but breathed a long sigh of relief. He had guessed right!

"I just want to see how they handle this kind of thing." The old man smiled at the fire-faced man and the square-faced youth. "They've both called in help. Of course, I'm not asking them to search for the seal themselves. It's just that their subordinates' abilities will show us their capabilities."

This one sentence made the square-faced young man feel ashamed.

Fire Man smiled sheepishly at Ling Ziqian, who was not one of his subordinates.

The old man looked at the fire man and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'If you want to know if someone is good or not, just look at their friends.' Ling Ziqian's brilliant deduction is worthy of the saying 'Heroes emerge from among the young,' and the fact that he is your friend shows that you are not bad either."

This sentence praised both Ling Ziqian and Huo Nan.

The old man looked at the square-faced young man and said, "Now you should be convinced, right? You need to work harder in the future and stop just playing around."

The square-faced young man was embarrassed, and he quickly nodded.

The old man reached into his pocket, smiled, and pulled out a personal seal carved from blue jade.

"You found the official seal." The old man held up the seal, smiled at Ling Ziqian, stood up, and walked towards the villa. "Sign the contract, then come chat and soak up the sun!"

As everyone followed the old man into the villa, many people cast admiring glances at Ling Ziqian, thinking that he was quite capable.

Fireman was incredibly excited. "Ziqian, you've helped me again, thank you so much!"

"No need for thanks, just go and sign the contract!" Ling Ziqian smiled nonchalantly.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll treat you well!" Fire Man patted Ling Ziqian on the shoulder and quickly caught up with the group.

Suddenly, only Ling Ziqian and a few others remained on the once bustling lawn.

The man in the tie walked dejectedly toward a car.

Upon seeing him, Shen Qiaoyan immediately yelled, "Hey, do you remember our bet? Bark like a dog!"

The man in the tie didn't turn around; he quickened his pace, got into his car, and sped away.

Shen Qiaoyan giggled with immense pride.

Laughing, she tiptoed and kissed Ling Ziqian on the cheek. She hugged Ling Ziqian's arm tightly and exclaimed that Master was amazing.

Ling Ziqian was already used to being ambushed by Shen Qiaoyan.

But she didn't expect that Xu Ya would also launch a sneak attack!

She leaned in and kissed Ling Ziqian's cheek, startling him quite a bit.

Ling Ziqian blushed and looked at her awkwardly.

"You've really been a huge help, I don't know how to thank you!" Xu Ya's eyes were filled with excitement, completely oblivious to whether her kiss on Ling Ziqian was ambiguous.

Ling Ziqian blushed, took out his phone and checked the time; it was almost noon.

He looked at Xu Ya and said, "If you want to thank me, treat me to a meal."

Xu Ya nodded crisply, "No problem, get in the car, let's go!"

"They're signing a contract, aren't you going?" Ling Ziqian asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not, you're the most important person right now. I don't even care about Xiao Nan!" Xu Ya giggled.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly again.

Shen Qiaoyan was very lively. "We're going to have a big meal. Tianhai City has the character 'Hai' in its name, which means there's a sea near the city, right?"

Xu Ya nodded. "Do you want to go to the beach?"

Shen Qiaoyan shook her head. "It's already getting cold. What's the point of going to the beach? I mean, if there's a sea, there must be lobsters, right? I want to eat lobsters!"

Xu Ya made an OK sign.

Ling Ziqian's face darkened as he looked at Shen Qiaoyan. "Don't you dislike seafood?"

"Ah, haha, that..." Shen Qiaoyan laughed awkwardly.

Last night she complained that she didn't like seafood noodles, and then swapped the seafood noodles she had eaten with Ling Ziqian.

"I just don't like seafood instant noodles, I didn't say I don't like seafood, hehe!"

"quibble!"

"That's just sophistry, what can you do about it, you stinking master!"

Ling Ziqian was exasperated and reluctantly got into the car.

Xu Ya drove to a hotel by the sea and the first dish she ordered was a large lobster.

After a hearty meal, I looked out the window and saw the boundless sea, listening to the sound of the waves.

Shen Qiaoyan couldn't contain herself any longer and, regardless of the weather, insisted on going to the beach.

Unable to refuse her persistent advances, Ling Ziqian nodded. Xu Ya had other matters to attend to, so she waved and drove away.

Walking on the beach, although the sun was shining today, the sea breeze was strong and chilly, and even wearing a thick coat didn't help.

"Waaah, Master, it's so cold! I was planning to go swimming!" Shen Qiaoyan cried out, hugging her arms tightly to her chest.

"Look at this beach, who's swimming? There's not even anyone strolling on the beach, just the two of us standing there like idiots," Ling Ziqian complained bitterly.

"Hehe, we've booked the whole beach!" Shen Qiaoyan shouted loudly.

She reached out and hugged Ling Ziqian's arm, but it didn't work; he was still cold.

So she simply took Ling Ziqian's hand, let him put his arm around her shoulder, and snuggled into his arms.

Ling Ziqian was quite startled by Shen Qiaoyan's actions; they were far too intimate.

She nestled in his arms like a little girlfriend seeking shelter.

"Let's go back, don't catch a cold," Ling Ziqian said awkwardly.

"No way! It's not easy to come to the beach, and I'm with Master, and there's no one else around, hehe!"

Ling Ziqian really couldn't understand what this guy was thinking.

"Oh, Master, do you see that? There are seashells!"

"Ah."

Shen Qiaoyan skipped and hopped like a child as she went to collect seashells.

She picked up a bunch of things, but found they weren't pretty, so she threw them all away. Then, with her sand-covered hands, she hugged Ling Ziqian's arm again.

Ling Ziqian felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't know what to say.

Keep walking forward, and there is a huge reef ahead.

The two sat down on the leeward side of the reef, finally free from the torment of the chilly sea breeze.

"I'm so happy today. I beat up bad guys, ate lobster, and even saw my master's clever side," Shen Qiaoyan muttered, resting her head on Ling Ziqian's shoulder.

"What do you mean? Did I used to be stupid?" Ling Ziqian asked with a dark face.

"of course."

"Tell me, where am I stupid?"

"I won't tell you, hee hee!"

"..."

"Master, is this your first time going to the beach with a girl?"

"..." It's that kind of question again. Ling Ziqian was speechless. "No."

"Oh, it's okay if it's not the first time. As long as I feel comfortable now, that's all that matters. I wish this could go on forever!"

Shen Qiaoyan tilted her head and snuggled into Ling Ziqian's arms.

This guy is so bold, he doesn't care about himself at all.

Ling Ziqian took a deep breath, intending to ask this guy what he meant and make things clear with her.

But just as she was about to speak, Shen Qiaoyan began to breathe evenly; she had fallen asleep. (Zhenlai Craftsmanship)

She didn't sleep well on the train last night either.

Ling Ziqian was speechless, but also relieved. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Shen Qiaoyan's cheek and nose.

This girl is a second-year high school student, my junior, someone who's like a younger sister to me.

Sleeping here is no good. It's so windy. You might catch a cold if you're not careful, and that would be terrible.

Gently picking up the sleeping Shen Qiaoyan, Ling Ziqian left the beach, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and returned to the five-star hotel.

After settling Shen Qiaoyan in, Ling Ziqian returned to his own room.

Things have been chaotic since last night, and I haven't had a proper rest.

Ling Ziqian lay down on the soft bed, intending to have a comfortable sleep.

After turning on the TV, Ling Ziqian slowly fell asleep.
