“Yes, I know you can do it.” Ning Chen rubbed Qin Yu’s head. They sat down in an inconspicuous shop in the airport.

“Soon, I’ll be able to go to the World Association of Perfume,” Qin Yu’s eyes sparkled, “Then I’ll be able to meet that person.”

“What exactly is the relationship between that person and Tang Rou?” Ning Chen was a bit puzzled, “Right, I have Tang Rou in my grasp now, but she won’t say anything.”

“That person entrusted Ouyang to take care of Tang Rou, and then Tang Rou became a disciple of French fragrance master Jenny. The last time I visited Jenny as a customer, I took Tang Rou’s perfume and asked Jenny about it. When Jenny and I were chatting, she revealed some information about Tang Rou’s past. Tang Rou has Chinese and French ancestry, her mother is half-French. As for Tang Rou’s father, he never appeared.”

“Could it be Ouyang?” Ning Chen guessed.

“It’s not Ouyang. Jenny said that the middle-aged man who had met Tang Rou for a year or two wasn’t close to her. Instead, he was rather polite. My guess is that this is because Tang Rou’s status is higher than Ouyang’s.”

“Oh? Tang Rou has such a status?” Ning Chen was a bit surprised.

“Yeah, I guessed that Tang Rou’s biological father might be someone from the organization, but that person didn’t want Tang Rou to grow up in the organization, so he sent her to Jenny.”

“Won’t Jenny leak this out?” Ning Chen was a bit wary.

“No, Jenny is very old and has a bad memory. I’m just a visitor and she didn’t take me to heart. I said that I was a biographer and wanted to write a biography for an outstanding young perfumer in the country, but she didn’t think too much about it. She thought that I was Tang Rou’s little fan and told me many things about teaching Tang Rou how to make perfumes.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Yu hugged Ning Chen’s arm, she continued: “I guessed that Tang Rou’s father was someone from the organization because Jenny told me that she hadn’t seen many top-notch perfumers in her life. One of them was a man. When Tang Rou came to her to be her teacher, she used some of that man’s perfuming skills. She guessed that Tang Rou had been taught by a man and thought that Tang Rou had great potential, so she accepted her.”

“I see. So, Tang Rou’s biological father is very likely someone in the organization, and his status is even higher than Ouyang. Ouyang was entrusted by that man to take care of Tang Rou.” Ning Chen finally understood the relationship between these people.

Qin Yu nodded, “I want to go to the World Association of Perfume. When the time comes, I might be able to meet that man.”

Hearing this, Ning Chen held Qin Yu’s hand tightly. “Will you be in danger?”

Qin Yu turned her head and looked at Ning Chen’s nervous expression. She smiled, “Brother, don’t worry. I’m not a child anymore. I’ll protect myself. He won’t expose his identity that easily, which means he will not attack me. I’ll be fine.”

Although he was still worried, Ning Chen couldn’t stop Qin Yu from investigating this matter.

He reluctantly nodded and then told her what he found so far.

“There is indeed a problem with Ning Cheng’s death. The person behind the scenes is actually a high-level official from the central government.”

Qin Yu was a little surprised. “What? Then isn’t this very troublesome? No, Ning Cheng was an undercover cop at the Nings. The reason why he was killed must be because he knew something. Could it be that the real problem is the Ning Family?”

If the Ning family had something shady that forced Ning Chen to go undercover to investigate, it meant that the Ning family had some dirt on them.

Ning Chen’s expression didn’t look too good either.

“I’ll slowly investigate this. Don’t worry. You just came back. You must be exhausted, right? I’ll arrange for someone to send you back later.”

Qin Yu hugged Ning Chen’s arm reluctantly. “I still want to stay with you for a little longer.”

Ning Chen held Qin Yu’s hand and placed it on his knee. “After all this is over, I will always be with Xiao Yu. When that time comes, we will never be apart again.”

Qin Yu looked up and planted a kiss on Ning Chen’s lips.

“Okay, we have a deal!”

After returning to Ah Nan’s place, Qin Yu began to lock herself in her room to learn more about various spices.

It was not an easy task to enter the World Association of Perfume. There was still a selection process. The top few winners of the Grand Prix in previous years would be able to enter the competition and the judges would select the real winner to become the newest member of the World Association of Perfume.

However, the most difficult part was not the intense competition, but as the judges were the official members of the World Association of Perfume.

Therefore, in the past few years, there were no new members. Every year, some veteran would try, but they would be rejected.. Some was even in their fifth year competing.
