CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: LION STAR THIEF GROUP

The light brain suddenly beeped.

It was actually Lu Shinian who sent a message first.

[Ruan Ruan, still not asleep?]

Su Ruan blinked and directly dialed the video call.

The screen popped up in mid-air, and it was quickly connected, revealing Lu Shinian’s broad chest.

He seemed to have just finished showering, his upper body was bare, and his lower body was out of view due to the blind spot of the video.

Water was still dripping from his hair, a droplet fell with a plop onto his chiseled collarbone, sliding down his chest, across his beautiful abs, and slowly disappearing into areas unseen.

Su Ruan hadn’t expected such a scene when the video connected, and her face turned red instantly.

She slightly turned her head but couldn’t resist glancing back at him.

I must admit, Lu Shinian’s physique was excellent, each muscle perfectly proportioned, yet not as robust and rampant as that of a combat soldier.

His lines were exquisite, smooth, and natural, yet not flabby muscles, but ones with a hint of strength, hiding immense explosive power.

The water droplet slid along the muscle lines, swift and dashing.

Through the screen, his gaze fell upon her, unlike the indifference he showed to outsiders, there was a faint tenderness in his expression.

"Ruan Ruan."

A deep and seductive voice echoed in Su Ruan’s ears, and she blinked, snapping out of reverie, and coughed gently to hide her previous "obsession."

Lu Shinian seemed to chuckle softly.

"Did you just shower?" Su Ruan spoke up proactively, breaking the seemingly awkward atmosphere.

Lu Shinian didn’t think Su Ruan was stating the obvious but considered it as her way of caring.

He sat down, and the camera zoomed in a bit.

"Yeah." He replied, "Had a shower, changed clothes."

On the word "clothes," he deliberately emphasized the tone.

He really had changed clothes and wasn’t wearing the same outfit all this time.

Su Ruan: ...

He actually remembered that matter.

Su Ruan gently coughed and said, "Well, yes, so you’re still out on a mission?"

Lu Shinian glanced at the empty lounge, his eyes flickered slightly, "Yeah, for a while longer."

"Ruan Ruan, why aren’t you asleep yet?" He actively changed the topic.

Mentioning this, Su Ruan sat up slightly, leaned in a bit closer, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever dealt with the Lion Star Thief Group?"

"Today I was running a dungeon, and it seemed the blueprint was your battle with the Lion Star Thief Group."

She used this excuse to probe into her eldest brother’s affairs.

Lu Shinian nodded, "I’ve engaged with them a few times."

Seeing her interest in the Lion Star Thief Group, Lu Shinian unusually elaborated a bit more.

"Their leader’s nickname is Lion, has a fiery temper, impulsive and quick to anger, but very loyal and strong in combat power."

"There’s a strategist in their group, nicknamed Fox, very smart and crafty, but poor in combat power."

The more Su Ruan listened, the more familiar it sounded.

Fiery temper, impulsive and quick to anger... isn’t this just like her own brother?

As for being crafty but poor in combat power, could it be her brother’s partner, brother Ye Qing?

She remembered Ye Qing as someone even a farm chicken could defeat, a combat failure, but with a sharp mind, as her brother would put it, very shrewd.

Could her brother really be a Star Thief?

Su Ruan lightly pressed her lips, tentatively asking, "Do you have the blueprint data for that dungeon? Could you send it to me to have a look?"
