Su Qing knew in her heart that if she and Li Huan could return through normal channels, it meant their stowing away hadn't caused any real trouble for the Li family.
However, she figured a scolding was definitely unavoidable.
Sure enough, Gu Xinsheng looked at them with a grave expression. "You two have some serious nerve," he said. "Daring to stow away in Xiangcheng. Why not just try to fly to the moon while you're at it?"
The thought alone made Gu Xinsheng shudder with lingering fear. That girl, Su Qing, was skilled, but what kind of place was Xiangcheng? It was rife with gangs and overrun with guns. Bloody street fights were a common occurrence. No matter how skilled she was, a bullet doesn't have eyes. What's more, Su Qing had helped crack such a major case. He had no idea if she was now on the Xiangcheng Gangs' radar. If they targeted her, he, all the way in Guang Province, was too far away to be of any help.
