Luo Qingyuan was bewitched by the repeated calls of "Master's wife" and finally agreed: "Then... see you tomorrow."

Bai Tang was so happy he almost jumped up. He could get a free meal and see his beautiful teacher's wife. Who wouldn't like that?

Bai Tang wanted to keep rambling on, but Duan Ye interrupted her: "Alright, it's 7 pm tomorrow. Just come straight here. Bring whoever you want. Bye."

After saying that, Duan Ye hung up the phone with one hand.

Bai Tang tossed her phone aside and lay down on her soft bed, rolling around several times until her mother called her for dinner. Only then did Bai Tang hurry out.

Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan had not yet reached their destination; they were still on their way.

Duan Ye: "He's a good kid, and he's always admired you."

Luo Qingyuan: "Really? You're very fierce in front of her?"

"What are you saying? Of course, teachers should be a little stricter with students."

"Not bad, that kid from before has become a teacher."

Duan Ye: "I've always been very composed; you underestimated me."

Luo Qingyuan smiled, her eyes filled with a hint of doting affection. In a moment of realization, she felt as if their lives had returned to the time five years ago when they were inseparable.

After saying this, Duan Ye couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to be much better than when they first returned.

"It's been five years, Sister Qingyuan."

Hearing this familiar address, Luo Qingyuan sighed inwardly, "Yes, five years have passed. Time really flies."

These past five years have been incredibly difficult for them.

Not long after, they arrived at the Western restaurant.

Because they had made a reservation in advance, the waiter welcomed them inside as soon as they arrived.

The coffee was a latte and an Americano that Luo Qingyuan had specially ordered from "Yijian Coffee".

Duan Ye generally dislikes the bitterness of American food, and Luo Qingyuan used to dislike it as well, but she got used to it.

The waiter was the same one as before, and his eyes held a hint of nostalgia as he looked at them: "Sir, Madam, the steak and pasta are served. Please enjoy."

After saying that, the waiter left.

Luo Qingyuan naturally picked up her Americano and took a sip.

“You used to dislike Americanos, but your tastes have changed quite a bit now.”

"Okay, I'll go with you to the mental hospital later."

Duan Ye: "???" Wait, did the topic change so quickly?

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Luo Qingyuan asked him, "What's wrong? You're not happy?"

Duan Ye: "No way, it's not your...leg..."

Luo Qingyuan said, "Why don't you carry me?"

Duan Ye was genuinely surprised and delighted this time. In the end, he smiled and even took pity on Luo Qingyuan by bringing her steak over. While cutting it, he said, "Okay, then go with her. I'll tell my brother."

Luo Qingyuan raised her pretty, dazzling face, her expression inexplicably carrying a hint of arrogance and smugness, as if to say: See, see, in the end you still have to listen to me, don't you?

Seeing the coquettish expression on her face, Duan Ye felt helpless yet inexplicably happy.

He disliked the lifeless Luo Qingyuan.

The two finished their meal relatively peacefully.

It was already 7 p.m., an hour before the time he had agreed to meet Duan Ze. Duan Ye drove Luo Qingyuan to the toll station.

He sent Hu Lan's photo to Luo Qingyuan, who was busy contacting some people to investigate Hu Lan's background, since there's strength in numbers.

What their senior said put them on guard, and they had to be careful.

8 PM.

Duan Ye and Duan Ze met at the toll station. He brought a recorder with him, and they set off for their destination.

Liang Mo also led his team along.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the two groups met up.

Luo Qingyuan remained seated in the car, not getting out.

The special operations team followed Liang Mo, and among them was one person who Duan Ye found increasingly familiar, until...

"Hello, Brother Duan, long time no see."

Duan Ye suddenly remembered: "Xiao Wu?!"

Xiao Wu awkwardly scratched the back of his head: "It's me. It's been so many years. Brother Duan, you've gotten so muscular."

Duan Ye pointed at Xiao Wu and looked at Liang Mo: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Liang Mo smiled and said, "Xiao Wu is already one of our core members. Let's talk about these things later."

Duan Ye found it unbelievable, but he knew that now was not the time to reminisce, so he could only nod in agreement and simply say, "Qing Yuan would be very happy to see you."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up: "Miss is here too?"

Liang Mo glanced at the car behind him: "You brought Qing Yuan?"

Duan Ye scratched his head: "Yes, I just happened to be having dinner with someone, so I came straight over."

Liang Mo thought for a moment and called to a policewoman behind him, "Xiao Yu, you stay here and don't need to go in with us for now."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay, team leader."

Duan Ye felt a little embarrassed. Liang Mo seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, "It's better to be prepared."

"Everyone else, follow me." After saying that, Liang Mo took the lead and walked inside.

Duan Ze patted his shoulder: "What your sister-in-law said makes a lot of sense. Although there are surveillance cameras here, the spot where the camera is pointing at Qing Yuan is a blind spot. It's better to have someone with her."

The two walked in side by side.

"Don't let Xiaoyu's gentle appearance fool you, she's actually the best fighter in that special operations team."

Duan Ye: "Really?"

Xiao Yu was blocked by a group of tall and burly men; he wouldn't have been able to see him if Liang Mo hadn't called out to him.

Duan Ze gave him a meaningful look: "What do you think? You can't judge a book by its cover."

Could the person Liang Mo has his eye on be someone with embroidered legs?

As soon as Luo Qingyuan hung up the phone, the car door was opened, and a strange woman appeared in front of her, but she was wearing a special operations team badge and was giving her a friendly smile.

Although Luo Qingyuan was puzzled, she lowered her guard: "Hello, who are you?"

"Are you Mrs. Duan? Hello, my name is Bai Yu, I'm from the special operations team, I'm here to protect your safety."

Luo Qingyuan was slightly taken aback: "Ah? Is that necessary? I won't go in. I'm quite safe here. Team Leader Liang needs people, right? Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "No, no, no, our team leader never does anything meaningless."

After saying that, Bai Yu bent down and checked the outside of the car before getting in. But he didn't stop there; he also checked the inside of the car.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did Bai Yu lie down in the back seat.

"Mrs. Duan, you go ahead with your work, I'll play by myself for a while."

After saying that, Bai Yu sat down at the back, took out his phone, and prepared to start a game.

Luo Qingyuan felt helpless, but she went along with it and continued to look down at the computer.

Bai Yu thought these days were really good; he didn't have to go on missions and could just stay here and guard the place.
