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

Chapter 293 The Dilemma of Family and Country (Part 1: A Heartfelt Extra Chapter)

The story of how Xu Qing and He Yanshen met is rather dramatic.

That morning, as dawn broke, He Yanshen casually stopped someone on the streets of Shanghai. He clicked his tongue lightly at the person in front of him, whose every hair seemed to exude an air of superiority.

She really is different from a peasant like him; she looks like someone who has been pampered since childhood. He smiled slightly.

Good morning, Mr. Xu.

Xu Qing looked at the person blocking her way, pushed up her glasses, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why this person was stopping her.

"Detective He, what brings you here?"

Looking at the wary man in front of him, He Yanshen straightened up and adjusted his cuffs. "The eldest daughter of the Xu family is currently having tea at my police station. Would Mr. Xu like to go and see her?"

Seeing that pair of beautiful eyes change slightly, and then reveal astonishment and anger, as if she wanted to beat him up, He Yanshen just found it funny.

That threatening look was practically meaningless to him.

On the contrary, it was that face, which always looked like a cunning old fox at banquets, that now showed such an expression, which piqued his interest even more. It was rather... cute?

The contrast is adorable.

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, its fur stood on end.

Unlike his usual, formulaic smile, this smile, while retaining its curve, now carries a sinister undertone.

With a slight smile, He Yanshen wanted to use a cat toy to shake the Persian cat in front of him.

But thinking about the purpose of his visit today, he felt a little regretful.

On the very first formal meeting, he's already trying to trick someone into doing his work for free.

Tsk.

I really feel a little bad about it.

Thinking this to himself, he kept a straight face, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said innocently, "Mr. Xu, please don't be so agitated. Miss Xu is involved in a murder case, so we brought her back to the police station for investigation. However, this investigation may take a while."

He Yanshen sighed casually, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

Xu Qing looked at him suspiciously, wondering what this person was up to.

Knowing full well that He Yanshen's visit today was a trap, he was still willing to jump in for his older sister's sake.

Looking at the person smiling innocently in front of him, that slightly ingratiating smile somewhat soothed Xu Qing's anger.

After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

"Is Detective He facing some kind of difficulty that you need my help with?"

Upon hearing this, He Yanshen's smile deepened, and he rubbed his hands together and slapped his thigh, "Mr. Xu is truly a prophet. With Mr. Xu's strong assistance, I believe we can soon clear Miss Xu's name..."

Seeing that He Yanshen was about to praise him again, Xu Qing's temples throbbed with anger. He raised his hand to interrupt him, "Don't flatter me. Get to the point."

He Yanshen smiled upon hearing this, which sent a chill down Xu Qing's spine.

It felt like a malicious smile.

***

Leading the person to the morgue of the police station, He Yanshen pointed to the body covered with a white sheet, "This is the victim of this murder case. The previous forensic doctor just resigned and then this murder occurred. I heard that Young Master Xu studied medicine abroad, so I'll trouble Young Master Xu to serve as the temporary forensic doctor."

Xu Qing looked at the person in front of him who was smiling in a way that could be described as obsequious, and pushed up his glasses. "If Detective He wanted to find a temporary forensic doctor, he could find a suitable person in any hospital in Shanghai. Why did you choose someone like me, who is, well, not very professional?"

He Yanshen straightened up, his face serious. "Mr. Xu is too modest. I vaguely remember that Mr. Xu's major was forensic medicine, and he even graduated with the highest score in his major."

Xu Qing remained expressionless. "It seems Detective He has investigated me very thoroughly."

He Yanshen smiled and said, "If I want to ask Mr. Xu for help, I naturally need to know more about him."

Xu Qing gave a cold smile, but remained silent.

To put it nicely, they probably investigated him thoroughly.

He had no interest in arguing with He Yanshen. He stepped forward and pulled back the white cloth, revealing a young and beautiful face—a very young girl.

Xu Qing's eyes flickered, because he recognized this person.

The third young lady of the Yang family.

He raised an eyebrow, realizing that He Yanshen wanted to use him as a scapegoat.

Being a detective in the foreign concession is no easy job. Everyone is watching, and the person who died was a wealthy and influential young lady. If things get out of hand, they can use his status to shield her.

It just so happens that his eldest sister got involved in this matter, which is equivalent to having his Achilles' heel.

Even if it's just to get his older sister home sooner, he has to help her with this.

Moreover, once you're on He Yanshen's pirate ship, it's not so easy to get off.

This is a brilliant plan that achieves multiple goals at once.

Realizing she had been used, Xu Qing's expression turned sour. She turned her head to look at the man with a serious face, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Detective He really knows how to play his cards right."

He Yanshen was also somewhat embarrassed.

But the Yang family's actions were so egregious that they implicated many prominent figures in Shanghai, and the small police station simply couldn't handle it.

He had only recently become a detective, and he couldn't afford to lose this identity. He would be staying in Shanghai for a long time, and this identity was the best cover.

He touched the tip of his nose, a hint of ingratiation on his face. "Isn't it because this matter is too much to handle, and we need a powerful figure like Mr. Xu to put it under control?"

Hearing He Yanshen's flattery, Xu Qing ignored it and felt a pang of pity as she looked at the pale-faced young man.

He remembered that this was Xiao Wan's classmate.

Taking off her wristwatch, Xu Qing picked up a white coat from the side and looked at the person still standing there, asking in confusion, "What are you still doing here?"

He Yanshen was taken aback. "I'm watching you perform an autopsy."

That innocent expression seemed to suggest that he didn't understand why Xu Qing would ask such a question.

Looking up at the person with those big, innocent-looking eyes, Xu Qing took a deep breath and pointed towards the door, "Go out."

He Yanshen wanted to struggle a little more, but was scared off by a warning look from Xu Qing.

The head that had just been raised instantly shrank back.

He was in the wrong.

He backed down.

Looking at the person who had suddenly wilted, Xu Qing's expression was somewhat indescribable.

Why does it look so much like... a dog?

It was a stray dog ​​that had been kicked by someone on the roadside.

With a slight sigh, Xu Qing softened her tone, "You can't be of much help anyway. You should investigate further and try to clear my sister's name as soon as possible."

"Oh."

He Yanshen responded and dragged his feet out.

Xu Qing clicked his tongue lightly.

It just looks more like a dog now.

However, she's kind of cute.

Xu Qing suppressed her smile, put on a mask, and looked at the corpse in front of her.

Looking at that familiar face, Xu Qing sighed, picked up the scalpel, and his expression became serious.

"excuse me."
