Xing Mengman and her group followed Gu Bosheng into the reception room.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she just couldn't help but feel her heart race when she saw that broad, sturdy back on the road.

Xing Mengman was a favored daughter of heaven, and after she came of age, countless people pursued her.

Among them were many celebrities and powerful figures, but none of them had ever given her such a feeling.

"General Gu, we are here on behalf of our Western District lord."

"He heard that General Gu, you are busy with war zone affairs and your mental state is under high pressure all year round. He was worried about your health, so he specially came to Colonel Xing."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xing Hongsheng's strategist, Kong Guangwei, finally shifted the focus to Xing Mengman.

“Miss Xing is a fourth-tier mental mutant, and her mental healing ability is among the best in the entire continent. With her here, she can definitely soothe your tense subconscious, General Gu.”

As Kong Guangwei spoke, he observed Gu Bosheng's expression.

He paused, then gave a cryptic smile: "Besides, girls are bound to be more thoughtful. Keeping them by my side will surely help General Gu in the future."

Gu Bosheng didn't speak, but just looked at him, tapping the armrests of the table and chairs rhythmically with his middle finger.

Yu Ziming, who was present, felt extremely uncomfortable. He wished he could strangle Kong Guangwei, that lewd old bastard.

He has a silver tongue that's good at flattery, but in reality, he's just a useless piece of trash with no special abilities whatsoever.

On the other hand, Xing Mengman also had a somewhat displeased expression on her face.

Xing Mengman felt that Kong Guangwei's words were too blunt. His intentions were so obvious that they lowered her standards.

Wouldn't that make me look like those vulgar women?

Xing Mengman raised her chin, fully displaying her proud swan neck.

She took the initiative to continue the conversation: "General Gu, actually, this isn't the first time I've met you."

Gu Bosheng turned to look at her, his eyes appearing very gentle.

This gave Xing Mengman some confidence, and she continued.

"I listened to your entire speech as an audience member the other day."

"When I look up at you speaking eloquently on the stage, I feel nothing but boundless respect."

Xing Mengman didn't blink the whole time. After she finished speaking, her eyes finally produced a few tears because they were dehydrated.

She tried to squeeze out that single tear.

"Thank you for your great contributions to human prosperity over the years."

Gu Bosheng lowered his eyelids and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, saying, "Miss Xing's words are too noble; I cannot bear such a statement."

Seeing the smile on his face, Xing Mengman finally felt a little more at ease.

Sure enough, men are creatures who enjoy being looked up to by women.

Following this statement, Xing Mengman also elevated her own perspective.

"If I can help you, then I will have done my part for the development of humanity, so please don't refuse me."

Gu Bosheng raised his eyes, revealing unfathomable black pupils.

Xing Mengman immediately felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

She was struggling to breathe normally.

"I'm sorry," Gu Bosheng quickly composed himself. "Sometimes I just can't control myself."

Yu Ziming quickly helped her up and asked with concern, "Xiaoman, are you alright?"

Xing Mengman shook her head, subtly avoiding his touch.

Just a simple eye contact was enough to make her, a fourth-level psychic, feel suffocated.

Just how powerful must Gu Bosheng's mental strength be?

Xing Mengman couldn't imagine it.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Hongfei stood outside the door and said respectfully, "General, dinner is ready."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bosheng got up and led them to the next room.

Looking at the round dining table in the room, Yu Ziming suddenly felt a little nervous.

He looked around, but couldn't find Lin Zhenzhen.

Gu Bosheng suddenly asked, "Is Major Yu looking for someone?"

His expression remained unchanged, as if it were truly a simple inquiry.

Yu Ziming felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

He suppressed his fear and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I was just looking around."

Gu Bosheng didn't ask any further questions. He looked up at the person at the door and said, "Let's start serving the dishes."

Lin Zhenzhen followed at the back of the group as she entered.

On the disc in her hand were two glass bottles, both containing the same purple liquid.

"Miss Xing, what would you like to drink, wine or grape juice?"

Xing Mengman felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. Although the woman in front of her was wearing a mask, she could still tell from her eyes that it was the fox mutant from before.

Her face darkened instantly, and she was about to tell this bastard to stay away from her.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Gu Bosheng, who was sitting in the center of the table and looking in his direction.

Xing Mengman forced a smile: "Grape juice is fine, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenzhen tilted one of the glass bottles, filling the wine glass in front of her.

"Please enjoy." She turned to look at Yu Ziming. "Sir, would you like to...?"

"Give me some wine."

Lin Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Okay."

Yu Ziming picked up his wine glass and took a sip. Just one sip, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The lanca flavor in this wine is so strong that Xiaoman only needs to take one sip to know.

This plan is simply not going to work.

Yu Ziming's face turned completely black.

“Sir, fine wine needs to be savored.” Lin Zhenzhen smiled at him. “Trust me, if you savor it carefully, you’ll definitely find it has a unique flavor.”

She emphasized the words "believe me".

Yu Ziming understood her implication.

There was no other way now, so he had to bite the bullet and carry out the plan.

“Hey, Major Yu, we’re not drinking that stuff today. It’s as bland as water. What’s the point of drinking it?”

Kong Guangwei unscrewed the bottle in his hand, and instantly, a strong smell of alcohol filled the air.

He turned to look at Gu Bosheng: "General Gu, this is a fine wine that the colonel specially asked me to bring from the west for you to taste."

Kong Guangwei lowered his voice and gave a knowing look: "We went through a lot of trouble to get this, so we're going to have a good time tonight."

Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, secretly delighted.

It seems that Gu Bosheng's drunkenness was an important plot point, so it was retained and didn't deviate from the original storyline.

The smile on her face hadn't completely faded when she looked up and met Gu Bosheng's gaze.

His gaze was deep and unreadable.

Kong Guangwei also looked over.

He has no special abilities and cannot tell that Lin Zhenzhen is a different species.

Just by looking into her bright, fox-like eyes, one could tell that she was a rare beauty.

He chuckled twice, and was about to make a sarcastic remark when he heard Gu Bosheng's deep voice.

"You can all leave. We don't need anyone here."
