Chapter 151 Son of the Sea (Continuation)

Zhang Mo opened the door, and there stood Dr. Qin, smiling politely and harmlessly. There was no one else in sight.

Zhang Mo spoke first: "I wonder if Dr. Qin can finish what he wants to say within 20 minutes?"

Dr. Qin maintained her polite demeanor, her smile unwavering: "It's nothing particularly important; I should be able to finish in a few minutes."

Zhang Mo continued, "Really? If it's not important, then let's not talk about it. I'm busy."

Dr. Qin: "Uh...that's not what I meant."

Zhang Mo stared intently at him, her gaze sharp: "That's true. After all, you've made such a commotion, and it's only been 20 minutes. If it's to be extended, what are you planning to do next?"

Dr. Qin: "......"

The man's amiable and gentle smile seemed to crack slightly. He sighed and said helplessly, "Mr. Zhang is indeed intelligent. Okay, I admit it. It's something very important. Please listen to me."

Also, could you please call Jiang Mian out as well?

Zhang Mo: "Knock on the door yourself. What, don't you have hands? Do you need me to knock for you?"

A minute later, Zhang Mo, Little Fox, and a bewildered Jiang Mian sat on the sofa, looking at Qin Yuechuan with puzzled expressions.

Qin Yuechuan looked serious, took out his identification from his pocket, and solemnly said, "The job at the hospital is just a temporary disguise. My real identity is a member of the Third Special Operations Group of the National Security Bureau. This is my identification. Please take a look."

Zhang Mo: "......" Has this kid been reading too many male-oriented novels?

Jiang Mian: "......" What is the National Security Bureau?

Little fox: "......" How annoying, I don't understand, can I just eat it?

Faced with three questioning gazes, Qin Yuechuan sighed deeply: "I know you might not believe what I'm saying, but I want to ask Jiang Mian a question: Do you still remember Su Yutang?"

Upon hearing the name, Jiang Mian was taken aback at first, then seemed to remember something, her expression becoming tense: "What happened to her?"

Zhang Mo and the little fox looked at Jiang Mian together: Who?

Jiang Mian looked embarrassed and could only whisper in Zhang Mo's ear, "Last time, Lang Yue told you about her, about that little girl I saved a few years ago. Her parents even helped us get our ID cards..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mo remembered.

The three little wolves had indeed gossiped with her before, saying that Jiang Mian had saved a high-ranking official's daughter in the deep sea a few years ago, even revealing her true form in the process. Later, to express his gratitude, the official gave all the monsters ID cards and told them to contact him anytime if they needed anything.

It is said that the girl came to the company to see Jiang Mian several times, but Jiang Mian could only repeatedly deny that she had saved her, leaving the girl disappointed.

It was a gender-swapped version of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale.

It was from that time on that Jiang Mian stopped taking baths every day, kept his skinny appearance, and pretended to be an old man.

So what's going on now? Did he see a handsome young version of Jiang Mian on a TV program and it brought back memories?

"Mr. Jiang is no ordinary person, is he?" Dr. Qin asked, a hint of expectation in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian hesitated, unsure how to answer: "I..."

Zhang Mo raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about your situation first, and then I'll decide how to answer this question."

Dr. Qin sighed: "Our Special Operations Team Three has three members: Team Leader Wu Kexin, Team Member Su Yutang, and myself, the team doctor."

Two months ago, Captain Wu went undercover in Thailand alone to investigate a transnational smuggling and fraud ring operating in Southeast Asia. However, he disappeared two weeks ago.

As she spoke, Dr. Qin's eyes revealed worry and anxiety, and her hands unconsciously clenched: "Xiao Tang was worried about the captain's safety. Although the situation was unclear, she still insisted on going to continue the investigation."

They also lost contact with me last week.

Although the chips inside their bodies showed that they were both still alive, this was not a long-term solution...

Zhang Mo listened, her eyes turning somewhat strange.

Dr. Qin smiled wryly and said self-deprecatingly, "Is Mr. Zhang trying to say that we're like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, sending them off one after another?"

Zhang Mo: "I didn't say that."

“It’s alright. Actually, that’s what I was thinking. If I can’t rescue them, I’m willing to die with them. That’s what comrades-in-arms are all about.” Dr. Qin paused, looking helpless. “But Director Su doesn’t agree to let me go.”

Zhang Mo: "Director Su?"

"Yes, Director Su is Xiao Tang's father. He suspects there is a mole within the National Security Bureau, and any registered agents who go there end up being wiped out."

Jiang Mian asked incredulously, "Then what can we do? He's abandoned his daughter?"

Dr. Qin's expression became very complicated, and he slowly said, "More than a father, his more important identity is the director of the National Security Bureau. He would not send agents without complete certainty, because the consequences would be unimaginable if it involved leaks."

Su Yutang is Director Su's only child, and naturally, he is the apple of his eye. However, given his position, he cannot risk the entire operation and the lives of many more people for his own personal feelings.

Dr. Qin looked at Jiang Mian: "I once saw you in Xiao Tang's picture book."

The mermaid leans against the coral reef, facing the viewer from the side, her figure slender and elegant, with perfect proportions.

Her golden hair flowed freely like seaweed, each strand meticulously drawn, clearly defined, as if swaying with the waves in the water.

His deep eyes were like the deep sea, mysterious and captivating. His eye sockets were deep, and his eyelashes were thick and slightly upturned. He gazed into the distance, as if he were hiding endless stories.

"She once told me that she was saved by a mermaid a few years ago. At the time, I didn't believe it at all and thought she was dreaming."

It wasn't until I saw the video of Mr. Jiang bravely rescuing the little girl during his crossing of the Yangtze River that I understood.

At that time, I only had some doubts.

So I began investigating your company privately. There were indeed many unusual things going on.

Although this recording of the show was a coincidence, it was also something I deliberately wanted to do to get closer to you.

I witnessed Mr. Jiang's rescue of the person from the water; it was something almost impossible for a human to do.

Right now, he desperately hopes that miracles truly exist in this world...

No matter the method, no matter who they are—be it a demon or a god—please bring back his most precious teammate...

The atmosphere was exciting and touching, but Zhang Mo still poured cold water on it: "I have a question."

Dr. Qin: "Please speak!"

"As far as I know, Director Su should know more about many things than you do. Since you thought of coming to Jiang Mian, why didn't he?"

Since Director Su helped obtain the ID cards for this group of demons, he should be the one who knows their identities best.

Dr. Qin was taken aback: "Our bureau chief knows?"

It seems that Dr. Qin doesn't know any more details either.

Zhang Mo: "Forget it, I'll ask your bureau chief for his phone number myself."

Dr. Qin: "But, there shouldn't be any signal on the phone right now..." He stopped mid-sentence because he clearly saw that Zhang Mo's phone had a full signal.

Dr. Qin: "...How did you do that? I used a signal jammer from the National Security Bureau!"

Zhang Mo: "Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs. What's the old man's phone number?"

(Since I really don't know any secret agents, this chapter might be a bit far-fetched. But that's not important. What's important is that our CEO Zhang is about to take the employees abroad for a team-building trip, where they'll be getting some serious action!)
