Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 735 Like Strangers, Never to Meet Again

With his last vestiges of romantic feelings gone, Zhou Yichen sighed inwardly and took the things from her hands. "When are you planning to leave?"

Chu Xin rubbed the marks on her fingers a couple of times and casually said, "First thing the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yichen paused, his mind preoccupied with other matters. "Well, okay, there's something I might need to ask for your opinion on before you leave."

"Can't I ask now?"

Chu Xin glanced at him, "What's going on? You're making it all so mysterious."

Zhou Yichen also wanted to, but there was really no way to say it now.

"I'll try my best as soon as possible."

The two usually talked about work the most, and when they were occasionally close, it was always Chu Xin who took the lead. Suddenly having to separate, Zhou Yichen's reluctance was almost overflowing, and he wished he could break each step into three.

He tried to find a topic to talk about, "Lu Jianshe has been discharged from the hospital. Lu Shujing will definitely complain to him when she gets back. Don't worry, I will be careful not to let him do anything to harm the Chu family. You don't need to worry about home."

Speaking of this, Chu Xin remembered the clothes she had secretly hidden in the Lu family's house. It's been two days, they should have found out by now, right?

If that's the case, Lu Jianshe is probably not in a hurry to avenge Lu Shujing, but is focused on finding fault with Zhou Yichen, since he is the prime suspect.

Seeing Zhou Yichen, who was "tricked" without realizing it, Chu Xin laughed so hard it could blind him. "Hey, it's okay. With such a big target like you here, I'm just a nobody."

Zhou Yichen didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, and nodded in agreement. "That's true, but we can't gamble our own safety on the other party's bottom line. You've had conflicts with Lu Shujing more than once, and you've even had a direct conflict with Lu Jianshe. Who knows what he might do? It's better to be on guard."

You just focus on your own things; I'll take care of things back home.

To be honest, the reason why Chu Xin was specially recruited into the Special Branch was not only because of some unclear motives at the time, but also to give Chu Xin a convenient identity to do her own thing.

Unexpectedly, since joining the Special Branch, she has spent more time working, which was not Zhou Yichen's original intention.

Thinking of this, he reminded himself that he must call and ask as soon as he got back, but he didn't know what Chu Xin's attitude would be at that time.

The two were walking side by side when Zhou Yichen suddenly grabbed Chu Xin's hand and asked her nervously, "If there's something you've been trying to hide from me, but I've discovered something and haven't told you, what... would you think?"

He knew that it was best not to expose her, and to pretend that he knew nothing, but he dared not gamble that no one would notice anything unusual about Chu Xin, or that they would have any ulterior motives towards her.

He had thought about this problem for a long time, and no matter how much he thought about it, he dared not gamble on even the slightest possibility.

Chu Xin frowned and stared at him upon hearing this. Seeing that he was so guilty that he lowered his eyes and dared not look at her, she knew that Zhou Yichen was very flustered at this moment.

Such an unusual situation forced Chu Xin to consider a bigger question: what was she hiding from people that she couldn't tell them?

After thinking it over, there was only one secret she never intended for anyone else to know.

That's her special ability.

So how much does Zhou Yichen know?

Her eyes gradually darkened and deepened, as if they could suck in one's soul. Chu Xin moved closer and closer to Zhou Yichen, so close that their lips could touch with just a slight tilt.

Zhou Yichen's heart pounded like a drum, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Unlike the previous passionate encounters, this time he was afraid.

He feared that Chu Xin would become a stranger to him and never see him again.
