Chapter 1416: Chapter 1415: Kid, You’ve Really Got Me Cornered

Gu Tong: "..."

Li Yan: "..."

Qiao Chenyi: "..."

Is there anyone more upfront than Ning Fanwei? Things like this are best kept in your mind, yet he insists on saying them aloud. Fortunately, it’s Qiao Chenyi—if it were someone else, they definitely wouldn’t want to take this case.

Qiao Chenyi smiled helplessly, "You kid, you’ve really got me this time, deliberately waiting for me to fall right into it."

Ning Fanwei nodded, "Well, maybe ’falling into it’ isn’t quite the right term, but it’s close enough."

Gu Tong: "..."

Li Yan: "..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Qiao Chenyi: "..."

Keep talking, you’re practically panting now.

When I call you simple, you really are simple.

He actually answered Qiao Chenyi’s jibe seriously, still waiting for his agreement.

Qiao Chenyi rubbed his forehead, feeling very helpless, "My classmate, apart from being a bit irritating, has no other flaws. Devil King, Tong girl, what do you think of this?"

Switching gears, he changed the subject.

He directly passed the initiative to Gu Tong and Li Yan.

The main reason being he sensed Gu Tong’s initial anger and understood her desire to help Du Wanyu.

Gu Tong pursed her lips, "Wouldn’t this be too much trouble for Brother Chenyi?"

She wanted to take on this case, but her position wasn’t exactly right for it, since Qiao Chenyi was their preferred choice and Shoucheng had many skilled people—she was just passing through.

This is the smart way to handle things: make things clear.

Qiao Chenyi easily guessed what she was thinking, "I’m currently handling the ’Supreme Seizing’ case and need to coordinate with Devil King. Taking on another case would be difficult, but this case is special; organ trafficking might be linked to a missing person case. The ’Human Teeth’ task force can apply to investigate and find the connection, handling it step by step."

He’s already working on two cases and can’t take up a third right now. If Gu Tong wants to help Du Wanyu, she’d need a valid reason, and here it is!

Li Yan’s deep eyes fell on the petite woman, his thin lips curved, "Chenyi is right, ’Human Teeth’ task force also has an independent investigation team. ’Human Teeth’ isn’t currently busy, so splitting off some manpower to investigate another case isn’t a problem; the higher-ups wouldn’t disagree."

These two men, seriously...

Qiao Chenyi, like a big brother, with his meticulous care for everything.

Li Yan, as her husband, loves her immensely, offering help whenever she desires and cooperating fully.

Gu Tong smiled faintly, "If it can be handed to the ’Human Teeth’ task force, that would be best."

The initial people in charge of the ’Human Teeth’ task force were all Academy elites. Their mission success rate was incredibly high; they almost never failed. If they joined forces, there would definitely be no problem.

Ning Fanwei, having heard enough, understood Gu Tong’s crucial role and clapped his hands, "Since this young sister has agreed, let’s proceed as planned. I’ll go back and tell the bureau immediately, ensuring we complete this as quickly as possible."

Gu Tong: "..."

Li Yan: "..."

Qiao Chenyi: "..."

Since when did Gu Tong agree? How is he so decisively finalizing things on his own?

Clearly, Ning Fanwei had long decided to pin this matter on Qiao Chenyi regardless. Gu Tong is his sister, and if any issues arise, he can’t just ignore them, so handing it over to him isn’t any different.
