An Moxue looked at him and asked, "Really?"

He looked at her and said very seriously, "Really."

But her eyes clearly said, "Why don't I trust you at all?"

He changed the subject, asking about other things: "After you finish your business, will you visit your friends?"

An Moxue thought for a moment and said, "No. I will leave immediately."

“You’ve finally come back, you must have one or two friends in Kyoto, wouldn’t it be a shame not to see them?” At this moment, the man was like a caring older brother next door.

"Forget it! It's not suitable." She didn't say why it wasn't suitable, but they all knew that there would still be a faint regret in their hearts, especially since she was all alone and her friends were her last close companions.

"It's alright, there will always be another chance. I haven't been back to Kyoto much these past few years, and it feels like nothing has changed, it's still the same. After things are settled in Kyoto, will you go back to the northern region?"

"Not necessarily. I might still fly to the border and then leave. Time is of the essence. I have some urgent matters to attend to there, and I want to get back as soon as possible to put my mind at ease."

Wu Sicheng glanced at his watch and said, "Get some sleep. Who knows what awaits you after you get off the plane? It's better to be in top condition."

“Okay.” An Moxue closed her eyes after saying that, and Wu Sicheng stopped talking.

*

"Mo Xue, wake up, we're almost there." The plane was noisy, but she still fell asleep without realizing it.

An Moxue opened her eyes, her sharp eyes filled with cold light. But after recognizing Wu Sicheng as the person in front of her, she regained her harmless appearance.

"Have we arrived?" She looked out the window and said, "The snow outside is noticeably thicker."

"Put on your thick coat, hat and scarf before you go downstairs, it's very cold outside."

The plane landed slowly, and the two people got dressed, took their belongings, and got off the plane.

On the tarmac, people were already waiting. As soon as An Moxue got off, someone came over and asked, "Comrade, hello, are you Comrade Hummingbird?"

"Hello, comrade. I am a hummingbird."

The man was somewhat surprised by her answer, perhaps because he hadn't expected the legendary hummingbird to look like this.

"I am here to pick you up on the orders of the director. Time is of the essence, so I will take you directly to your destination."

He didn't say where, and An Moxue didn't ask. Director Hou was vague on the phone and said that time was tight, so she knew there was more to it than met the eye.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll say goodbye to my other companion and then leave."

An Moxue walked towards Wu Sicheng and said, "We're parting ways here. Take care."

Wu Sicheng looked at her and said, "You too, take good care of yourself."

Wu Sicheng watched An Moxue's departing figure in the car until she disappeared from sight, but he still didn't look away.

The pilot walked over to him, looked in the direction An Moxue had left, and asked, "Brother Wu, who is that person? So powerful! They need to be specially picked up and dropped off."

Wu Sicheng glanced at him and said, "Someone you shouldn't know and can't afford to offend. Doing quite well, since when did you start flying a plane?"

Hearing this, the man asked in surprise, "Is he even more awesome than you?"

“Of course. Otherwise, why would I be hitching a ride on someone else’s plane instead of someone else hitting a ride on mine?” Wu Sicheng answered decisively.

The man's eyes widened in disbelief: "That's incredibly impressive!"

“You can’t imagine, a legendary figure.” After saying that, Wu Sicheng ignored him and walked off the tarmac. He still needed to figure out how to get back to the city; this was the suburbs.

An Moxue sat in the car without saying a word the whole way until she saw the car stop and begin to check, at which point her pupils suddenly contracted.

Who is she going to see?

What do we need to do?

They not only checked vehicles but also people. When they checked her, she was stopped. "Comrade, please show your valid identification."

An Moxue thought for a moment, then took out her identification, but unfortunately, the age on the identification did not match hers, so she failed and was detained.

An Moxue looked at the person who brought her there and said, "Comrade, you need to find a way."

The man hurriedly came over to explain, and the inspector looked at her and then at the man, made a phone call, but still did not release her.

An Moxue stood there, being held captive by two men, and thought idly, what is Director Hou up to?

Just then, he was thinking of eighteen ways to mess with Director Hou! Director Hou came running over with one person.

As soon as he arrived, he said to An Moxue, "Why did you come like this? Didn't you even tidy up?"

An Moxue resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "You didn't say anything! How would I know?"

"Alright, come with me! We'll clean up inside. I give up!"

"I'll listen to the director."

Along the way, Director Hou kept instructing him: "Take off all your disguises and dress neatly. When you meet people, don't be nervous. Answer whatever the leaders ask! Remember, be respectful and don't be afraid."

"Director Hou, you haven't told me who I need to meet, why should I be nervous! I don't even have anyone to meet."

Director Hou slapped his forehead and said, "It's my fault, I forgot to tell you. The big leader wants to see you. You have 30 minutes for the meeting. Make the most of it. There are also several other executives, but they are all very kind and easy to get along with. Just don't be nervous."

An Moxue was completely surprised. She really didn't expect that she would want to see her.

Director Hou was reliable this time, saying, "It's related to your oil well in Esayli."

An Moxue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they wanted her oil well?

No way! No way! No way!

"No way, I'm just overthinking it," she reassured herself.

Seeing her changing expression, Director Hou knew she wasn't thinking anything good, so he quickly explained, "You've caught the eye of a high-ranking leader, that's a good thing. Make the most of it, you won't suffer any losses. Your future is bright, don't overthink it."

"Director Hou, I'm not overthinking it. It's just that you mentioned meeting a high-ranking leader, and when I first heard that, I got a little scared. I don't know what to do. You could have at least told me beforehand! Or at least given me a hint. But you didn't say anything at all."

Even if I'm just imagining things, I can't admit it!

It has to be tense!

Who wouldn't be nervous in front of a high-ranking leader?

That doesn't make sense.

"Really?" Someone who can sit in the position of bureau chief is no ordinary person. Can you really believe her?

"Of course, Director, it's not too much to ask for a piece of calligraphy later, is it? It's not easy to meet the real person, it's enough to brag about for a lifetime."

They haven't even met anyone yet! And they're already calculating their next move!

Director Hou saw through her, but didn't say anything. She was someone who looked docile but was incredibly bold. He said, "You're quite capable if you can get your hands on her!"

Upon hearing this, An Moxue thought, "There's a chance!"

His eyes darted around in circles, out of Director Hou's sight.
