Chapter 43: Reporting Upward

Su Yao was also well aware of the gravity of the situation. Leaving aside the skiing research inside, just the weapons and ammunition outside—if even the tiniest bit were to leak out, it would lead to massive casualties.

Early the next morning, Mu Xingjue rode his bicycle out and headed straight to the county town to find Chen Hongyi, the director of the local public security bureau.

Chen Hongyi had served in the same military unit as his older brother. He was injured during a mission, and after recovering, he could no longer go out on field operations. Higher-ups gave him the option to take a desk job, but he was unwilling and instead chose...

"Cousin, can I come in? I brought some things Mother asked me to give you," Liu Xinhe called out from outside.

The League of Legends gacha system in this world was actually identical to the one in Li An's world.

Now things had truly become troublesome. They had beaten Hu Zuan, the son of Hu Benyi, and since the boy's father had now stepped in, he certainly wouldn't let them off easily.

Daniu's mouth was practically watering at the sight of the steamed bun, but upon hearing Wang Siyao say there were only two, his heart sank by half. He thought to himself: I can eat five by myself, so giving everyone just one is the same as having nothing at all.

When Xiao Lina returned to her cubicle outside Yu Youjia's office door, she found that Yu Zhixin had just put away his phone. Looking up and seeing her, he wore a momentary, instinctive look of panic, which immediately gave way to a deliberately nonchalant, roguish attitude.

After giving Junyao her last bath of the year, Gao Yuan gave the two aunties time off. They had families of their own, and everyone needed warmth and togetherness during the New Year.

"What do you know? I'm going to reinforce the formation. Off you go, stop asking so many questions." Song Yiyi casually brushed the maid off and headed to the West Garden guest room.

Pulling back his hand, he hid both of his jade-like hands within his sleeves, concealing them so thoroughly that Li Wuxin could not catch the slightest glimpse.

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lian with displeasure. With a thermometer in his mouth, he couldn't speak. He stared at the clear water and sunflowers for a moment, then raised an eyebrow with a smile, thinking of a great idea to pass the time.

Li An had truly let go, and he didn't bother playing nice with those in the crosstalk circle. Weren't you guys causing trouble for me? Weren't you ridiculing me with veiled sarcasm and pointing at the locust tree while cursing the mulberry?

"Is it that special law of yours?" Eva was clever and thought of it right away. After scanning Li Wu with her soul power last time, this was the only law she couldn't see through.

This was the cobra maneuver unique to fighter jets. Acting as if nothing were amiss, Yang Fan pressed his foot all the way down on the accelerator, and the sports car soared into the sky, brushing right past the point of light.

"Oh my... oh my, oh my, oh my, isn't this Lord Hu the Nine-Tailed Divine Venerable, and Sister Liu... Sister Liu, you're out?" Catching sight of us upon raising his head, the man in the white lab coat jumped up and cried out in great surprise.

Or perhaps, she didn't know what to say at all. Lang Xiaoyue had used her in the past—that was a fact. And while she walked alongside Beiming Hanxuan, she hadn't yet done anything to harm Linlang. Besides, their transaction had long since concluded.

One stood there, dressed in black with a dark kerchief—evidently the footman who routinely attended to him; the other knelt, knocking his head against the ground for all he was worth.

"Inns like this outside aren't very safe. No one can guarantee whether this place is someone else's stronghold or if there are hidden mechanisms in this room," he began pontificating on conspiracy theories.

Of course, despite their extremely close relationship, "wages" still had to be paid. For anything Eva added, once exchanged by people, one percent of the mental energy would be shared with her.

"Hey, hey, hey... A strange thing happened, I don't know if you've heard. They say a vixen was running amok and harming people at Old Liu's place on East Street, and later it was caught by an expert with steel claws on both hands." As I sat down and ate my breakfast quite blandly, a man at the next table said in a very mysterious tone.

Afterward, he chatted with Li Dong'er for a while longer to get an update on the current progress of promoting new energy vehicles.

"You're not even a mercenary!!" Looking at the red-and-white figure acting as if she could block a nuclear bomb for him if needed, Zhao Yi couldn't help but complain.
