Chapter 1630: Chapter 1630: Will Eating This Melon Get Us Killed?

The deafening sound of crying left Shen Cang completely numb.

Fortunately, the sound insulation here is decent, otherwise, the folks downstairs would definitely be jumping to conclusions.

But he forgot, the Special Department always has a few with exceptionally good hearing.

At this moment, a young guy mysteriously waved everyone over, "Come over quickly, there’s some juicy gossip!"

Hearing there’s gossip, a group of people crowded around.

When there’s no task, they’re just like ordinary people, they love gossip and having fun.

"What gossip? Is it fresh?"

"Quick, share the gossip! Quick!"

"Fresh, absolutely fresh, just hot off the press, haha!"

"Come on, come on, tell us..."

"Alright, alright, don’t rush me! Everyone gather round!"

The young guy lowered his voice, speaking very softly, "Sister Lou is crying in the boss’s office～"

"Hiss!" A few sharp intakes of breath could be heard.

"The boss wouldn’t hit her, would he?"

"The boss isn’t that kind of person!"

"Could the rumors be true..." Someone mumbled.

"What rumors? Is there more gossip? Spill the beans!"

"Quick, quick, quick..."

"It’s hard to say; if it’s not true, I don’t want to be spreading rumors."

"We won’t tell anyone, it doesn’t count as a rumor if we don’t share it."

"We promise not to tell!"

"Well... okay, you all promise, don’t spill it!"

"Alright!"

"No problem!"

"We promise, promise!"

"So... I’ll say it, it’s not really a big deal, it’s just..." His voice lowered even more, "I heard that the boss and Lou Lan have a bit of a love-hate relationship."

"Wow!" A gasp of astonishment rose.

Everyone took a few steps back, almost unable to believe their ears.

"Is it true?"

"My god!"

"Sister Lou and the boss..."

"Never thought they’d have that kind of relationship!"

"When did they get divorced?"

"No, we should ask, when did they break up?"

"No, you should be asking, when did they start dating?"

"Explosive gossip!"

"Is it safe to share this gossip without getting killed for exposing secrets?"

"Is Lou Lan really crying? She’s usually very fierce, how did the boss manage to make her cry? Last time my disguise was scratched, needed fixing, Lou Lan scolded me so much I couldn’t even argue back."

"I’ve been scolded too!"

"You guys only got scolded, I was even forced into bone crushing."

"Bone crushing?"

"I’m strong, she thought scolding me wasn’t worth it, made me do hard labor, I ended up crushing over three hundred bones."

"What shape did you crush them into?"

"Rib bones into nasal bones, just think about the workload!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Hiss! That’s pretty tragic."

"Lou Lan is just a witch."

"No, she’s an old witch!"

"Keep it down, she’s coming downstairs." The sharp-eared young guy immediately alerted.

The crowd dispersed instantly, each returning to their original positions, some playing, some eating, acting as if they hadn’t just gathered for gossip, each one of them quite the actor.

They thought the tear-stricken Lou Lan would come down looking gloomy, but what they saw was a radiant, grinning Lou Lan whose smile nearly reached her ears.

Everyone exchanged glances, communicating with eyes full of bewilderment.

It seemed like Lou Lan was in a great mood, not someone who had just been crying!

Listening carefully, she seemed to be humming a tune with a lively beat, not just a small amount of happiness, but a mountain of it!

Lou Lan walked past everyone, heading to the basement to continue "visiting" her anatomy professor.

As soon as she left, everyone burst into chatter.
