Chapter 21 How about repaying me with your body?
"Officers, go down from here, and after about two hundred meters you'll see a tree growing horizontally. Under the tree is that small cave."
Zhou Huai spoke casually, but Lu Han, Du Lei, and Ding Xiaoshuai, who were listening nearby, all gasped in shock.
Because looking down from this cliff edge, the bottom is invisible, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist, obscuring most of the view.
At that moment, Wu Liuting was interrogating the fat monk with her body camera on.
Although Zhou Huai sent her a video he had recorded, she said it didn't count.
Wu Liuting is the captain and a policewoman. The three people who hadn't even reached the edge of the cliff yet were scrambling to get there, all wanting to show off in front of her.
They didn't arrive in a rush; they brought climbing equipment and rescue ropes.
But when they heard Zhou Huai say it was about two hundred meters, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment and none of them said anything more.
"Why don't we wait a while? The fog will dissipate a lot when the temperature rises."
Vice Captain Lu Han spoke first, breaking the awkward silence and proposing a safer compromise.
"I'll go down."
Zhou Huai could see their predicament, after all, it was so high up and the view was blurry.
"This…"
"No, I can't let you take that risk."
Lu Han and Du Lei instantly felt ashamed. As police officers, they felt guilty for putting ordinary citizens in danger.
"It's too dangerous, Zhou Huai, you mustn't go down."
Ding Xiaoshuai hurriedly spoke up to stop him, as he had already seen Zhou Huai last night in the Red Forest residential area.
"I just climbed down once and came back up, so I'm experienced now. You guys help me tie the rope."
As Zhou Huai just mentioned, Qin Qingqiao only suffered minor injuries.
Lu Han and the others weren't in a hurry, but Zhou Huai was eager to get back.
My damn sense of responsibility.
"Okay, if there are any problems later, just pull the rope a few times and we'll pull you up right away."
Lu Han gave instructions.
"I know, don't worry, I wouldn't have gone down if I wasn't sure."
Then, Zhou Huai was tied with ropes and began to descend.
The other end of the rope was tied to the trunk of a large tree on the edge of the cliff.
[A normal task is now available:
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. You are rewarded with one chance to win a prize.]
[The host has caught the mastermind, perfectly completing the mission. An extra chance to draw a prize is awarded.]
[An urgent mission has been issued:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the mission. You are rewarded with one chance to win a prize.]
[The host has apprehended the serial killer in the JS case, perfectly completing the mission. An extra chance to win a prize is awarded.]
After several system notification sounds, Zhou Huai knew that Doubao had returned.
"Doubao, you're back so soon?"
Yes, Master, it's just a small update.
A few minutes later, Zhou Huai successfully reached the entrance of the small cave under the tree.
"Miss Qin, what brings you out?"
Seeing Qin Qingqiao sit down by the cave entrance, he asked her with a smile.
"Don't call me Miss, call me Sister."
Looking up and seeing Zhou Huai, Qin Qingqiao quickly stood up, and then, in the next second, she threw herself into his arms.
"Are you crazy, woman?"
The space in front of the cave entrance was very limited, and there was a cliff behind Zhou Huai, so he could only catch her.
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited to see you again. Little brother, can you forgive your sister?"
Seeing that Zhou Huai was clearly angry, Qin Qingqiao quickly apologized, her voice quite charming.
"Speak properly, or I'll just go up there and leave you be."
Zhou Huai said irritably.
Despite his ease in front of Chen Yao and Sun Yichang, he is actually quite shy, especially around a sophisticated and "bad" woman like Qin Qingqiao.
"Your little brother blushes so easily, he's really cute."
Qin Qingqiao took a few steps back, laughing very happily.
"Tie the rope up, I'll take you up."
As Zhou Huai spoke, he quickly untied the ropes binding him.
"Little brother, I've never rock climbed before, and I don't know how to tie it. Can you help me tie it?"
Qin Qingqiao picked up the rope from the ground, her tone sincere.
"..."
Although somewhat speechless, Zhou Huai still approached and tied the rope around her.
"Little brother, don't you need it yourself?"
Qin Qingqiao asked in confusion, "The front of the rope is separated, so two people can tie it together."
"If I only tie you up, the person pulling the rope will have an easy time. This mountain isn't steep; I can climb it myself."
Zhou Huai originally intended to carry her up, but Qin Qingqiao liked to tease him too much, so he decided against it and that it was better to stay a little further away from her.
After confirming that the rope was tied properly, Zhou Huai pulled on it a few times.
"Brother Han, the rope is moving."
Ding Xiaoshuai, who had been observing the rope's movement, quickly said.
"Okay, let's pull together and lift them up."
After Lu Han finished speaking, he, Du Lei, and Ding Xiaoshuai retrieved the rope together.
"Little brother, how do you want me to repay you? How about I repay you with my body?"
Zhou Huai was climbing steadily when Qin Qingqiao suddenly said that, almost causing him to lose his grip.
"No, Sister Qin, please stop teasing me. It's dangerous."
Zhou Huai rolled his eyes at her helplessly.
"Little brother, your sister runs an entertainment company. You're so handsome and strong, why don't you come to my company? I guarantee I'll make you a big star and make you the center of attention."
Qin Qingqiao suppressed her smile, and this time she spoke quite seriously.
Zhou Huai didn't speak, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.
In her past life, she was playing online games at an internet cafe today. Yuwan didn't call, but her mother and brother would still find her behind the boulder at the same time.
So Qin Qingqiao, who miraculously survived hanging from the tree, was rescued by them.
Qin Qingqiao opened an entertainment company, and now she's inviting me. Could the company that Yuwan worked for in my past life be hers?
"Does your younger brother not like being a celebrity?"
Qin Qingqiao pressed for an answer.
"Being a celebrity is also a job, and I will never work for someone else again in my life. I want to be my own boss."
Zhou Huai decisively rejected her.
Celebrities only appear glamorous on the surface; behind the scenes, they have to put in a tremendous amount of effort to stand out from so many people.
"What do you want, little brother?"
Qin Qingqiao couldn't help but feel curious.
"Sister Qin must be very rich, right?"
Zhou Huai asked in a low voice.
"A little bit of money."
Qin Qingqiao's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smugness in her expression.
"If you really want to thank me, just transfer some money to me as a tip."
Zhou Huai decided not to stand on ceremony with her, lest she keep asking questions.
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you when I get up there."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qingqiao was quite pleased, as she was afraid that Zhou Huai wouldn't want anything.
"Sister Qin is so generous," Zhou Huai replied with a smile.
"Zhou Huai, I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"
Qin Qingqiao changed the subject and raised her own question.
"A girl I like, her mother said there was a very powerful monk here, so she brought her and her brother here to have their fortunes told. Then she happened to see you being knocked unconscious by that fat monk, so she called me, and I..."
Zhou Huai told the truth.
"Oh, so you followed her here secretly. As soon as she called you, you came all the way to the top of the mountain."
Qin Qingqiao suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's right. Why is Sister Qin asking this?"
Zhou Huai was somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't this a coincidence? I met a master recently who said I was destined to face a calamity. He said I needed to come to this mountaintop this morning to check in in order to turn the danger into safety and meet someone who could revitalize my company."
Qin Qingqiao said slowly.
"..."
Zhou Huai was speechless.
Why are you making that face?
Qin Qingqiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like that.
"Sister Qin doesn't seem like a superstitious person at all."
Zhou Huai laughed along with him.
"That master saved my grandfather, and I was really in danger just now, if it weren't for you..."
Qin Qingqiao believed it without a doubt.
"You're very lucky. You only got a few scrapes from the fall. Even without me, you would have gotten out of danger in the end."
Zhou Huai thought to himself, "Why is this person a bit stubborn?"
"No, I woke up suddenly in the cave, or I might have woken up suddenly while hanging from a tree, and then I just fell to my death."
Qin Qingqiao blinked her beautiful eyes and stared intently at Zhou Huai, who was walking up in sync with her.
"What's wrong with your company? Are you short of money?"
Zhou Huai quickly changed the subject.
"I'm not short of money; in fact, I've made quite a bit recently."
Qin Qingqiao's smile was somewhat bitter.
"Then you mentioned the company earlier..."
Zhou Huai noticed her unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask her.
