Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 294 A Difficult Struggle Between Family and Country (Part 2 of a Heartwarming Side Story)

After seeing her eldest sister off to her car, Xu Qing looked at He Yanshen standing in front of the police station, her eyes darkening.

"Big sister, you should go home first. I have a few words I want to say to Detective He."

Even after being detained in the police station for several days, Xu Sang maintained his composure. He peeked at He Yanshen, who was still waiting, and nodded. "Go ahead, you should thank him."

Although He Yanshen detained her after she got involved in the case, he still showed her the utmost courtesy.

If you give her the respect she deserves, she will naturally reciprocate.

It would be appropriate to have Aqing express her gratitude.

Xu Qing nodded, watched the car leave, then turned to the person still waiting, a smile playing on her lips, "Detective He, would you like to have a cup of coffee together?"

He Yanshen has always been a carefree person, and he felt very uncomfortable in this slightly elegant coffee shop.

He genuinely couldn't understand what was so good about this bitter stuff.

Xu Qing saw that He Yanshen looked miserable, even more so than the coffee in front of him.

He rested his chin on his hand, watching with interest the person in front of him who didn't want to waste the coffee but also didn't want to drink it. The person's dilemma was rather endearing.

"If Detective He doesn't want to drink, then don't force yourself."

Looking at the empty cup of coffee in front of her, Xu Qing stood up and waved to He Yanshen, "Detective He, then, goodbye."

"Hey, wait for me."

He Yan gritted his teeth and downed the cup of coffee in front of him, his face instantly contorting.

Xu Qing looked at He Yanshen's silly appearance through the glass window and couldn't help but smile.

What a fool.

But she is quite cute.

With the last trace of resentment dissipating, Xu Qing smiled.

It was nice to have a taste of being a detective.

Besides, it can also give Miss Yang justice, so it can be considered a good deed.

He Yanshen followed him out, grabbed him, and asked breathlessly, "Thank you so much for your help these past few days, Mr. Xu."

Looking at the person in front of him with a serious yet silly expression, Xu Qing really wondered if He Yanshen, the detective, was serious.

How can someone so foolish be a detective?

Xu Qing smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Well then, until we meet again."

Her radiant smile captivated He Yanshen, who stood in front of the coffee shop watching Xu Qing get into the Xu family's car and drive away.

After a long while, he pressed down on his heart, which was beating erratically, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Until we meet again.

***

Xu Qing never expected that his reunion with He Yanshen would come so soon.

A shooting occurred at Xu Family Bank.

As Xu Qing was personally seeing off a major client, a sniper shot hit him squarely in the heart.

Xu Qing's smile was still on his face when the person in front of him slowly collapsed.

As the current head of the Xu family, he was naturally summoned for questioning.

Upon first meeting He Yanshen, Xu Qing looked at him with a serious expression and asked, "Detective He, do you need a temporary forensic doctor?"

He Yanshen was taken aback. He didn't even sit down in the interrogation room. He put down his pen, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Is Mr. Xu going to do another job for me for free?"

Xu Qing nodded.

He Yanshen looked at the solemn-faced man in front of him and said nothing more, but simply unlocked the handcuffs on his hands.

"Let's go, Mr. Xu."

***

"It's quite unexpected that Boss Wang's mistress would hire someone to kill him. It's a pity, though, that was a roving assassin, and it's highly likely that he can't be caught now."

He Yanshen was organizing the case files when he looked at the man in front of him, whose expression remained tense. He asked with some confusion, "Mr. Xu, what's wrong?"

"Ok?"

Xu Qing looked up at the person in front of her who looked worried. "What's wrong? What did you just say?"

He Yanshen frowned as he looked at the person in front of him. "Hasn't this case been solved? What are you worried about, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Qing shook his head. "I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple."

He remembered that day; the bullet seemed to be aimed at him.

Looking back now, the situation was too chaotic, and perhaps he was just overthinking it.

Under He Yanshen's worried gaze, Xu Qing felt uneasy.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Xu Qing shook his head. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I'm sorry to have troubled Detective He this time. Let me treat Detective He to a meal."

Looking into those beautiful, clear eyes, He Yanshen put down the dossier in his hand and nodded as if possessed.

Emerging from the Western restaurant, He Yanshen and Xu Qing walked towards the Xu family home under the lamplight. Looking at the calm face of the person beside him, He Yanshen sighed softly.

I'm really going to miss it.

Looking at the Xu family's gate so close at hand, He Yanshen called out to Xu Qing, "Mr. Xu, are we... friends?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Qing turned her head and smiled brightly. The ice and snow between her brows, which were usually somewhat cold, melted away, and everything came to life.

"Of course, He, Yan, and Shen."

He Yanshen had never thought his name sounded so beautiful. When combined with the clear and melodious voice, it made his ears burn.

He awkwardly rubbed the tips of his ears, then lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with the person in front of him.

“Aqing.”

Before Xu Qing could say anything after shouting, He Yanshen felt embarrassed.

Is he in a hurry?

He just felt that calling Xu Qing was too formal.

Xu Qing was taken aback by the affectionate address. Looking at the person in front of him whose face was flushed, he responded softly.

"Ah."

His deep voice carried a hint of seduction, causing the restlessness that had subsided somewhat in the night breeze to return and swagger across He Yanshen's face.

Xu Qing found it amusing, but also felt a little regretful.

How come I never realized He Yanshen was so interesting before?

He Yanshen secretly looked up at the person smiling gently in front of him, and stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Aqing, you should go back first."

Xu Qing nodded, and the moment he turned around, He Yanshen's expression changed, and he tackled Xu Qing to the ground.

It wasn't until he was tackled that a gunshot reached Xu Qing's ears.

"He Yanshen!"

Xu Qing grabbed at the person in front of him haphazardly, which elicited a painful groan. His hands were covered in sticky blood, which made his face turn pale.

"He Yanshen, He Yanshen, are you alright?"

He Yanshen's face turned pale with pain, but he was even more worried that the person might come again. He subconsciously shielded Xu Qing behind him and searched around for the murderous intent hidden in the shadows.

Xu Qing looked at the person blocking her way, her expression complicated. She lowered her eyes and concealed her emotions.

Even though he was swaying precariously and his head was spinning, He Yanshen still stubbornly protected Xu Qing.

Only when the patrol teams arrived did he allow his consciousness to sink into darkness.

Subsequent developments seemed to unfold naturally.

After this incident, the relationship between the two progressed rapidly.

One is clearly testing the limits, while the other is indulging them.

Both of them were attracted to each other, but neither of them dared to confess their feelings.

Until the Xu family banquet.
