"The dormitory would be filled with guys, how are you going to live there?" He Honghua asked with concern . "Why did you suddenly wish to stay in school? You have been staying at home all this while . "
"Don't worry, I won't be found out . Since we sleep in bunk beds, I'll ask for a top bunk . " Bo Jiu hugged onto He Honghua's soft and tender shoulders . "I'm in my second year, staying in school would give me more time to study . Besides, it's a critical time over at your business . If I'm not at home, it'll save you the trouble of coming back to cook me my meals . "
"Your face has lost so much weight from the competition . Rest days aren't common so you definitely have to be back for some home cooked meals . " He Honghua was firm on this front .
Bo Jiu chuckled . "I'll be back during the holidays, once every week . "
In reality, she would still be back . It would be more convenient for her to investigate and conceal her identity if she stayed in school, but over at the Fu house, she had created a temporary disguise room which allowed her to do many things .
She couldn't let He Honghua know of that though .
She hadn't placed the main terminal for the network in the Fu house because she was afraid any leaks would trace back to He Honghua .
She wasn't clear of the new staff in the crime squad and her imposter hadn't been caught yet .
She couldn't let He Honghua take the risk .
In the past, she didn't have to think of anyone else since she was alone .
But now, she had people she wanted to protect, both Supreme Alliance and the mother who was standing in front of her .
The more He Honghua saw her own Jiu, the more handsome she found her . She hadn't realized in the past, but right now, she seemed to have a plan for every decision she made . He Honghua felt reassured and slightly melancholic . "Since you don't have much to do for the next two days, will you be at home? Mom has a gathering tomorrow and would like to bring you along . "
"Tomorrow…" Bo Jiu was just about to hesitate when He Honghua immediately replied, "Do you have something planned out? It's alright if you are busy . "
"I do have something tomorrow, but what time is the gathering? I'll try to settle it fast so that I can head over . " Bo Jiu had always been indulgent towards He Honghua .
More importantly, it was useful against the middle-aged He Honghua . "Tomorrow night, it's organized by a friend and a variety of industries in the Jiang City will be there . Now that I have just obtained a portion of the Fu family's business, it wouldn't be appropriate to skip the event . You know more of such things and mom doesn't, so your presence would place me at ease . "
"Alright . " Bo Jiu raised her arm to look at the time . "Where will it be held? I should be done by seven, I'll be able to go in with you for some free food and drinks . "
No one would dislike a child like Bo Jiu by her side . He Honghua's round face beamed with joy . "You will definitely like the place, haven't you always wanted mom to bring you to such upper class gatherings? You finally get the chance now . "
Bo Jiu acknowledged with a "Mmh" . She didn't deny things of the past since the more discrepancies there were, the higher were the chances of her identity being exposed .
Some things were best left in the dark .
If she joined the gathering… It seemed like she would have to bring a suit along .
Since she would be taking action with the Almighty, she would have to pay attention to certain places to prevent too many loopholes from being exposed .
Hence, on the second day, Bo Jiu woke up early . When she met with Director Huang and Manager Li and held onto the cleaner uniform, she hadn't shown how well-versed she was with the location .
Instead, she pretended to be clueless as a rookie should be, taking about half an hour before coming out of the changing room .
Qin Mo was already waiting on the sofa . Even though he was dressed in a cleaner uniform, the dignified air around him hadn't lessened . Instead, he seemed more alluring against the blue and white uniform .

Bo Jiu raised a brow, her lips into a smile as she whistled . "Handsome . "
Qin Mo glanced up to look over at the youngster . Her head of silver hair was ruffled and in a mess, looking very much like Princess after he had taken his bath and prancing about with his blown up hair trying to attract his master's attention .
"Come over . "
Qin Mo spoke faintly and when Bo Jiu reached, he stood up and placed his fingers onto the youngster's head, sieving through the knots and arranging it back into place . The side of his face was just like his physique, carrying a hint of elegance . "Don't you even know how to comb your hair at this age?"
Manager Li and Director Huang stood at the side . The latter had already gotten used to it since he was forced to see them flaunt their love every time they came into the station .
But the former felt uncomfortable and wasn't sure if he should even be looking .
Young Master Qin was so bold about his sexuality .
Bo Jiu glanced up . She didn't think much of it since he was just combing her hair for her .
Qin Mo didn't think much of it either . Wasn't it expected when taking care of someone?
After all, they had always been close .
When the Almighty lowered his lids, Bo Jiu could clearly see the dark feather-like lashes flutter and had the urge to reach out and caress them .
Qin Mo lowered his lids because he was helping a certain someone arrange her clothes .
Bo Jiu was unlike Qin Mo and it was obvious from the way they wore their clothes .
The youngster was forever carefree and cool .
In contrast, Qin Mo would always be upright with clothes which were proper and in place .
The contrast would occasionally place thoughts into Bo Jiu's mind .
She wasn't sure if she was going to do something she would regret when she left .
Bo Jiu shifted her collar .
"Too tight?" Qin Mo asked .
"Mmh," she answered .
Qin Mo reached out and made some minor adjustments .
Manager Li stood at the side, coughing lightly . "Young Master Qin, Young Master Jiu, it's seven right now . Do you wish to take your breakfast before heading over?"
"That's alright, we will be eating with our new colleagues in a while . " Bo Jiu chuckled, looking as though she had something up her sleeve . "It'll be easier to access information across the meal table . "
Manager Li: … He never expected Young Master Qin to like such a type .

"Besides, Manager Li you don't have to follow us, get a regular staff from the Human Resources Department and don't expose our identity . The more clueless the person is, the more natural their act would be . " Bo Jiu sat on the chair, bending down as she tightened her shoe laces . When she glanced back up, she had become a refreshing and energized cleaner .
Both Qin Mo and Bo Jiu had made adjustments to their appearance, which was mainly to reduce their own attractiveness and allure .
Qin Mo was way too handsome and, hence, it proved to be a challenge .
The both of them started with their hairstyles .
They used a hairspray which was a mixture of green and blue, dying their fringe and giving off a ruffian vibe .
This made them seem more like troubled teens who had run away from home .
But because of their attractive faces, they didn't manage to look that bad .
More importantly, it managed to change their aura, especially Qin Mo's air which made him more approachable than before .
The welfare in Jiang group wasn't bad, hence, their accommodations wouldn't be that bad either .
But this was Jiang City after all and land was precious, hence, it wouldn't be that great either .
Not much sun rays entered the rooms and many of the staff came from foreign lands . They were brought to an old building which hadn't been demolished Various styles of clothing hung across the railings and beams, the smell not particularly pleasant .
A mouldy stench enveloped the entire building from the first to the second floor .
Bo Jiu wasn't bothered by the surroundings .
She assumed a dignified young master like the Almighty wouldn't be able to tolerate it .
But when she glanced back, there wasn't any change to the Almighty's expression . He managed to blend into the surroundings perfectly, just that he didn't say much .
He remained unaffected to the other employees who threw flirtatious glances over at him .
That was when Bo Jiu remembered he had grown up in the army . Even though he had forgotten the times they had when they were younger, the days in the army were probably real .
Which meant that the Almighty probably underwent professional training?
With that, Bo Jiu's lips curved upwards . It didn't seem that weird for her to have been found out the year she had exchanged hands with the Almighty .
When the handsome newcomer hadn't reacted to him, the staff's face hardened . He was just someone from the outskirts who came to work . Why was he being so arrogant? In the end, wasn't he going to bow down to reality?
Forget it, he didn't wish to force things .
"This room . " The staff stood by the door, a bundle of keys in his hand . "There are two more beds inside, you guys can just choose amongst yourself . "
While the staff was instructing the both of them, a few men standing by the washing bay turned towards them since there weren't many youngsters there who looked this good .
In reality, the structure of this building was very much like a basement .
In the basement, the washing area was public and there would be a queue when the crowd piled up .

"Boss, where did the two of them come from?"
One of the middle-aged men spat the water in his mouth before he turned and broke into a smile, showing an enthusiasm which was characteristically for a villager from the outskirts . He was probably rather new as well since his accent was still rather strong .
Due to the rapid advancement of the city, people started to grow solemn from the stress .
But the pressure didn't seem to exist on the middle-aged man, who wished to head back after earning enough money .
He was an enthusiastic and affectionate person .
The cleaner replied emotionlessly, "The two of them came over from the outskirts and will be working for a short period of time . They will be in charge of cleaning, you guys can bring them around and see if they are suited for the job . "
"Sure thing!"
"Oh right . " The employee seemed to have remembered something as he pointed towards Bo Jiu's hair . "If you are accepted, you have to dye your hair to something more normal . Our club isn't like those outside, we have high demands for our employees . "
Bo Jiu wasn't aware that a club would be bothered about their employee's hairstyle . Jiang Zuo's management was indeed interesting .
"Cool," she replied .
The employee glanced over at Qin Mo . Seeing that he wasn't going to react, he didn't bother anymore and went straight down .
With these real and natural reactions, the entire floor of people weren't the least bit suspicious .
Since they were new, there weren't many people who came up to talk to them .
However, those who lived in the same floor did .
The middle-aged man walked towards Bo Jiu with his washing basin . After taking two looks, he started to feel regretful for them . "The both of you don't look very old, why are you working at such a young age? Why don't you study hard?"
"Don't' worry, Bro, I'm of age . " Bo Jiu chuckled . "I'm just a little hungry at the moment, it's been a while since I left home and would love for something hot . "
The middle-aged man immediately answered, "Go, go there and put down your things, I'll introduce you guys to the others that stay here before we all get something to eat . The canteen made big buns today, I'm sure you guys will love it!"
"He likes everything," Qin Mo finally spoke, his voice smooth and silky, prompting the middle-aged man to turn back .
"You guys know each other?"
Bo Jiu laughed . "We came out to work together, there isn't work back at home . "
Her ability to imitate his language was perfect . After hearing just a few words, she managed to catch his tone and intonation .
The original gaming addict persona was immediately replaced .
They mixed reality with their lie, which made it more believable .
The middle-aged man grew more affectionate after hearing Bo Jiu's accent . "That's right, there aren't jobs back at home . Come over, there are two beds over here . It's similar to the dormitories back in school with bunk beds . The person sleeping beside your bunk is also from our hometown, one of them doesn't have a good ear so you would have to talk louder when speaking to him . The other loves drinking and there's one that doesn't really live here anymore . He seems to have hit the jackpot and will definitely bring alcohol and cigarettes back in a while…"
This man treated them affectionately .
To prevent others from growing suspicious, Bo Jiu asked about everyone's situation .
In reality, her attention lied solely on the the last person .
Qin Mo raised his lids, sweeping a glance over at the blanket which was half-folded .
They eyed each other, their chemistry in sync .
"It's a weekend today so everyone's on full-day shift so he will be back . You guys are in luck…"
The middle-aged man wasn't aware that this didn't have anything to do with luck .
Qin Mo and Bo Jiu chose to come in on this day because they knew everyone would be present .
They were brought into the canteen by the middle-aged man .
The canteen was chaotic and loud . Fortunately, the middle-aged man used a local phone with loud volume . He glanced up caught sight of the target Qin Mo and Bo Jiu were after… Zhao Sanbao .
Zhao Sanbao was tall and burly . If Bo Jiu and Qin Mo weren't there, he would have been the youngest cleaner in the bunch . He sat by the entrance eating a mantou . When he saw a familiar face bringing two new comers, he frowned .
Qin Mo took in that reaction .
"He is on his guard, his first reaction would be to suspect us . "
Hence, it wasn't good to go against a psychologist, they could easily read their target's mind .
Zhao Sanbao was indeed afraid, but he was convinced the police would never reach him even if they were to investigate further .
The suppliers reminded him to be on high alert though . "The two of them…"
The middle-aged man introduced them . "They are from our hometown, there isn't much work back at home so they came out to earn some money . "
"They came over to Jiang City to earn money at such a young age?" Zhao Sanbao studied them intently .
Bo Jiu and Qin Mo allowed him to look . The former scratching her head in embarrassment, she didn't take the initiative to talk to Zhao Sanbao and instead, turned to the middle-aged man . "Bro, where is the mantou? I and my cousin are starving . "
Zhao Sanbao had his own thoughts . If there was someone here who could listen to him obediently, he could send out the drugs to the other washrooms . At this moment, there didn't seem to have a problem with the both of them .
He could bring them over when the time came .
With that, Zhao Sanbao passed his canteen card over . "There are mantous inside, but you guys don't have a canteen card . Take this, it's my treat . "
"This…" Bo Jiu glanced down at the card, hesitating .
"Since Brother Zhao is going to treat you, just take it . " The middle-aged man was as enthusiastic as usual .
Bo Jiu knew that it was an opportunity . She reached out for the card and broke into a radiant smile . "Thank you, Brother Zhao . "
