Chapter 89 Goodbye Zhou Cheng
As noon approached, the line in front of the blockade showed no sign of decreasing, but instead got longer and longer.

Although it is almost the time of the day when the temperature is the highest, the wind today is extremely noisy and whistling.

The stranded people and aborigines who lined up were cold and hungry, but they didn't dare to leave. They could only wrap their clothes tightly, tighten their belts, and gritted their teeth.

But after seeing that the forward speed could not be raised, many people broke out and clamored to open an extra passage.

The explorers behind the blockade turned a deaf ear and continued to let one person leave one by one in 5 minutes.

Some people couldn't wait any longer and didn't dare to break through the blockade, so they licked their faces and came to the blockade, trying to get the guards to let them go first by bribing or finding connections.

However, this is destined to be a show for the blind.

In the eyes of the guard looking at the fool and the mocking voices of the queue, he stood at the end of the line in desperation.

In the team, Sun Lei stood on tiptoe and took a look at the front, and it was their turn with less than ten people left.

"It's almost time for us." Sun Lei said with some effort.

They have been waiting in line for almost four or five hours since Shen Xiu spoke. He was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. Qin Qing relied on the support of Tang Jialan and Zhou Fei to keep from falling.

It is really the limit.

Shen Xiu casually said "En", but her mind still didn't stop for a moment, thinking about the intention of the Tiandu City Foreign Affairs Bureau to block the streets.

It was found that Tianshui Street was strange, and it was suspected to be a restricted area. The entire street was blocked and people were prohibited from entering and leaving, which was completely in line with the style of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

The whole incident seems to be handled by the Bureau of Strange Affairs without any problems.

But she never thought that she would release people after only one night, which made Shen Xiu very confused.

He is ready to live here for ten days and half a month, otherwise he would not return to Wutong Garden and find Fang Datou to make that deal.

The team advanced slowly, and after more than half an hour, it was finally Shen Xiu's turn.

Sun Lei was at the front of the line. He was about to pass when he was greeted by the guard, but Shen Xiu suddenly stopped him:

"Leizi, let's switch, I'll go first."

Although it was his turn to be the next one, he was so itchy that he couldn't wait to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

Sun Lei didn't ask any further questions, and readily changed places with Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu stepped into the cordon, and the guard stepped forward to register his name, address, and contact information, and then the explorer took a picture of himself with a simple mirror.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the explorer let Shen Xiu enter the board room.

Shen Xiu had noticed the two steps of security guard registration and explorer inspection for a long time, and there was nothing abnormal in the process. It seemed that the answers to all questions had to be found in the prefabricated room.

Shen Xiu took a few steps to the door of the board room, raised her eyes, and immediately froze.

It's not that the battle in the board room is so bluffing, nor is it that there are any strange decorations inside.

There was only a long table and seven chairs in the room. One chair was placed two meters away from the long table, and the other six were placed on the other side of the long table, with people sitting on them.

The reason why Shen Xiu was in a daze was because he saw one of the six people.

The moment the man saw Shen Xiu, his mind was a little distracted, but she, who was always indifferent, quickly recovered from her astonishment.

Seeing that Shen Xiu didn't come in, a man with thick lips sitting closest to the door frowned and said:

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come in quickly."

Shen Xiu withdrew her gaze, walked in silently, sat down on the empty chair, and silently glanced at the other five people.

Seeing him like this, his thick lips became angry and said:
"You sat down even if I told you to. What kind of place is this?"

Shen Xiu glanced at him, and said with a half-smile:

"Not allowed to sit? Then I will leave."

"You boy, sit down for me!"

With thick lips and eyes staring, he slapped the table and stood up with an attitude that was very angry with Shen Xiu.

"That's enough." The only woman among the six suddenly said.

The voice was not loud, but the thick lips did not dare to say another word, and he sat down with a blushing face.

The handsome man sitting next to the woman had a strange look in his eyes and asked:

"your friend?"

The moment Shen Xiu came in just now, he had been paying attention to the woman, and he immediately felt the woman's astonishment.

At that time, he doubted whether the two people knew each other.

At this moment, the woman helped to speak, further confirming that his speculation was correct.

The woman ignored him, looked at Shen Xiu who was two meters away expressionlessly, and asked:
"Why are you here?"

Shen Xiu shrugged and said with a smile:

"I asked Bureau Zheng to take a leave of absence to come to Tiandu City to relax."

The woman's two willow-like eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, and said seriously:
"I said 'here'."

"Oh, I was pulled over by a friend. He has a project here, and the two of us planned to come over to see the venue. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Shen Xiu realized what the other party meant in an instant, smiled wryly, and looked helpless, but she was a little muttering in her heart.

It is said that a woman's sixth sense is very good, especially the cold and beautiful one. This woman Leng suddenly asked about this, maybe she sensed something!

"Friends?" There was a rare change in the woman's tone. It was unclear whether it was suspicion or sarcasm. "Do you have any friends here in Tiandu?"

Shen Xiu rolled her eyes, stopped doing it immediately, and shouted:

"Director Zhou, why can't I have friends here, please make it clear."

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly, didn't say anything, just watched coldly.

At this moment, the handsome man spoke again:

"You two know each other?"

This time, he wisely didn't tell Zhou Cheng any more, but told Shen Xiu, who looked displeased.

Shen Xiu glanced at the handsome man, then murmured at Zhou Cheng:
"You should ask her."

The ball was kicked back again, the handsome man was embarrassed and could only silently look at Zhou Cheng beside him.

Zhou Cheng still ignored him, stared at Shen Xiu and said:

"Shen Xiu, this is not a company, you don't need to call me supervisor."

As he spoke, he opened the folder on the table, picked up a blank sheet of paper, and pushed it to the edge of the table.

"Have you met this man?"

Shen Xiu raised her eyebrows, left the chair, took a step forward, and took the painting in her hands.

On the paper was a sketch of a man in a striped sweater and a top hat. The face under the brim of the hat seemed to have been burned by a fire. It was full of scars and extremely ugly.

He also wore a pair of special gloves on both hands, and each fingertip was inlaid with a piece of sharp steel nails, which was very creepy.

The sketch was a little rough, but in Shen Xiu's opinion, it was extremely expressive.

Because the ghost of this guy is now in his mind.

The moment she saw the painting, Shen Xiu was stunned uncontrollably.

Fortunately, it was blocked by the painting and was not seen by the six people at the other end of the table.

Slowly putting down the painting, Shen Xiu sat back on the chair and said calmly:
"never seen it."

Zhou Cheng put the painting back into the folder, his brows stretched, he didn't ask any more questions, and said indifferently:
"you can go now."

Shen Xiu smiled slightly, stood up, and was about to leave.

At this moment, the handsome man's voice suddenly sounded:

"Wait a moment."

Shen Xiu stopped and looked back at him.

"Anything else?"

The man stood up, showing a warm smile:

"Not long ago, I heard that a new explorer recruited by Lausanne City is very strong. He has explored three restricted areas in a row. I have always wanted to meet him, but unfortunately I never had the chance. I didn't expect that today I finally got my wish."

After speaking, he stretched out a hand and said with a smile:

"Hi Shen Xiu, my name is Han Mingsheng, and I'm Zhou Cheng's new partner."
