Lin Gantang didn’t expect the little girl to say such touching words. She didn’t know how to respond.

“I’m already very happy that big sister agreed to let me visit Blackie.”

The little girl hugged the black cat for the last time, waved at Lin Gantang, and ran off, disappearing around the street corner.

Lin Gantang sighed emotionally. She helplessly shook her head and continued to work.

In the evening, Che Qin came to the bookstore as usual.

Lin Gantang was quietly editing a video on her computer in a corner. When she heard movements, she looked up and saw Che Qin sitting opposite her. She looked uneasy and nervous, and her hand gripping her bag so tightly that it turned white.

“What’s wrong?” Recently, Zhang Rongqing did not look for Che Qin often, so Lin Gantang rarely saw her with such an expression.

Che Qin opened her mouth, the reluctance and hesitation on her face growing. “Today…Today, Zhang Rongqing came to look for me…”

The concern in Lin Gantang’s eyes touched Che Qinxin.

She wasn’t close to Lin Gantang, but she had helped her a lot during this period of time. They could be…considered friends?

She took a deep breath, took out a small bag from her backpack, and placed it on the table. “Zhang Rongqing knows that I’ve recently been coming to the bookstore often and that our relationship is not bad. She came to me today and asked me to put it in your water.”

“What is this?” Lin Gantang glanced at the item on the table.

“I don’t know. I opened it but I didn’t recognize what it was.” Che Qin clutched her coat, her expression perturbed. “My intuition tells me that it’s nothing good. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked me to do it secretly. She threatened me, saying that if I didn’t do as she said, she would teach me a lesson.

“At that time, her gaze was too fierce. Sister Gantang, I was a little scared, but I’m not a heartless person. You’re very good to me, so I can’t listen to her without distinguishing right from wrong.” After Che Qin revealed everything, although she was still nervous, she felt a little more at ease.

Lin Gantang picked up the item that Zhang Rongqing had Che Qin bring and carefully opened it, revealing a small handful of colorless crystals under the heavy packaging.

“She looked for you today?” Lin Gantang asked.

“Yes, during lunch break. Sister Gantang, what should 1 do? She’ll definitely come looking for me again later.” Che Qin was anxious and worried.

Lin Gantang wrapped the things up again and said, “1’11 take it to someone to see what it is. If Zhang Rongqing asks, just say that you haven’t found a chance to do it yet. Don’t let her know that you handed it to me, okay?”

Che Qin quickly nodded. “How long do you need?”

“Trust me, it’ll be quick. No matter what it is, Zhang Rongqing already harbors thoughts of harming people. You must be careful when you see her, understand?” Lin Gantang reminded.

“Alright, I got it.” Che Qin hesitated. “Then I’ll leave first?”

“Why don’t you take a seat in the shop first? Don’t let anyone suspect you.”

Che Qin nodded.

She took out a book, but she couldn’t absorb the contents no matter how hard she tried. Lin Gantang noticed her uneasiness and poured her a glass of warm water.

Che Qin thanked her.

Lin Gantang packed up the things that Che Qin had brought.

Her family had more connections and knew more reliable people than her. It was easier and faster to get things done. Lin Gantang got ready to ask Lin Zhaonan for help.

The next day, Lin Zhaonan knocked on her door and asked her with a serious expression, “Where did you get this?”

“It’s from Zhang Rongqing. Is the test result out?” Lin Gantang asked.

“It’s drugs,” Lin Zhaonan said..
