The Queen of Gossip

"Dark sewers, dirty work, we are doing poppy extraction for 'jue', which is the primary processing of drugs, which is illegal."

"'Never' do drugs?" Su Wanqing's eyes widened suddenly.

Tuo nodded: "Drugs, smuggling, arms, casinos, as long as they are profitable, there is nothing 'absolutely' not involved. This is something that the whole of Japan knows."

"What about the sewers?"

"Sister, don't underestimate the city's underground pipeline system. There are inexplicable dirty transactions in it." The sarcasm on Tuo's face was unmistakable, "I chose to pay for my mother's medical treatment because I needed money to treat my mother's illness." Such a dangerous job."

"Unfortunately—" Tuo's face darkened, "Mom is still dead."

"I'm sorry." Su Wanqing lowered her head.

She suddenly understood that the child exposed his scars and brought up the sad past just to persuade her to save his mother.

"Thank you, Taku. I know what to do."

There was a slight smile on Tuo's face, he was already very pretty, but with such a smile, he looked like a demon.

"Su Wanqing."

"What?" The boy was puzzled.

"My Chinese name." Su Wanqing smiled lightly, "There is also a Japanese name, Saori Izawa, but I don't like it."

Tuo was very happy that she could take the initiative to tell her name.

"Miss Wan Qing." He called out, thinking it was easy to say.

"Take a break." Su Wanqing patted Tuo's head.

Tuo nodded, and lay down on another tatami mat, his whole body was huddled under the warm quilt, only his head was exposed.

"Miss Wanqing, can I follow you all the time?"

A gleam of light flashed across the dark red eyes, and he longed for the woman in front of him.

Su Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and said: "My world is very dangerous, you are still young, I may not be able to take care of you."

What she said was the truth, she was saved by this child and did not want him to be in danger.

"I'm not afraid." Tuo's face flashed with arrogance, his eyes were like small animals, "Stay by your side, I can protect you."

Su Wanqing shook her head and said, "A child of your age should study hard in school and enjoy the happiest and most carefree time in his life."

The light in Tuo's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Thank you for staying with me these two days. I'll come back to see you when I settle the matter at hand." Saying that, Su Wanqing took out two gold cards from the pocket of his coat and put them under Tuo's pillow.

The boy's heart was getting heavier and heavier, and the fetters that had just been formed were about to be untied again.

"Sister Wanqing, are you going to abandon me?" His voice was hoarse.

The two gold cards under the pillow turned into sharp knives, piercing his heart.

This child, even when he was sad, still had a stubborn expression.

Su Wanqing's heart twitched violently.It was hard for her to imagine that this child had become dependent on her in such a short period of time.

give up?

Such a cruel word, does he think so?

She lifted the quilt, and under Tuo's surprised gaze, entered his bed.

Su Wanqing stretched out her arms, hugged the boy who was so thin that only his bones remained, and comforted softly: "No."

While holding him, she usually patted his shoulder lightly.

Tuo's body froze, he didn't expect her to do this.

Immediately afterwards, a heat spread from her ears to her face, and her body was very warm, with a touch of sweetness, very sweet.
