Chapter 267 - 274 Lin Qiong’s Thoughts
By the time Li Yifei had finished, the admiration and obsession that had been on Lin Qiong’s face had vanished without a trace, and she said casually, "I hadn’t realized it, but you’re actually quite capable."
Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "It’s just a trivial matter, but it’s about life and death for both of us. If we’re not careful and the other side discovers us, we won’t even know how we died, so of course, we have to be careful."
Lin Qiong pouted and said, "Scaredy-cat."
Li Yifei didn’t openly disagree with Lin Qiong’s retort; he now understood that Lin Qiong always had to be contrary to him. Even if he spoke sensibly, Lin Qiong wouldn’t admit it at this moment, so he might as well not bother.
After dinner, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong waited in the room for the call to pick up the goods. Lin Qiong paced back and forth in the room, the young policewoman finally starting to show signs of impatience.
"Can you stop pacing, please? You’re making my eyes dizzy," Li Yifei finally couldn’t help but remind Lin Qiong.
Lin Qiong stopped walking and said, "You’re anxious, too. Why haven’t they called yet? They didn’t discover something’s wrong with us, did they?"
"Whether they’ve discovered it or not, we can only wait now, can’t we? Please, just sit quietly for a while."
"Fine." Lin Qiong agreed, sitting down on the sofa, but within five minutes she was up and pacing the room again, leaving Li Yifei with no choice but to realize that she was under tremendous pressure. It was her first time cracking such a big case, and knowing full well the strength and background of the other party was extremely formidable. Whether they could solve this case was really uncertain; then there was the million from her parents that she had tricked them out of. If they couldn’t solve this case, that million would truly be gone for good, and she would have to figure out how to explain it to her parents.
After more than an hour’s wait, Ma Yiwei’s call finally came through, saying that a car would come to pick them up in twenty minutes, and he himself would not come along. Hearing this, Lin Qiong finally quieted down.
