(Multiple Identitities + Pure Love + Favorite of the Group + Face-Slapping + Big Shot) A mission brought Qi Jiu to China, where she became the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
Outside obs...
After Veriel left, the atmosphere in the meeting room seemed to have returned to normal. Apart from the slight difference in their positions, there didn't seem to be much difference anymore.
The aura that belonged exclusively to the Star Moon BOSS on the girl slowly dissipated.
She met the man's focused gaze, and pouted, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Her identity has undergone such a huge leap, and she's even been keeping it from him. Although he doesn't seem angry, he probably has a lot of questions.
Qi Silin smiled and shook his head. "I will respect any decision you make. Besides, you haven't kept it from me forever, so now... I don't have anything to ask, because I know everything."
Mayo Lin and Bai Feng: "..." A self-conquest of a love-struck mind?
Liu Yun: "..." Heh, although it's not the first time, I'm still very shocked.
As expected of the master, this love-obsessed person is truly one of those who can take love to the extreme.
The girl paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay." How should I put it in the current situation?
Bad news: She's love-struck.
Good news: Qi Silin is obsessed with love.
So the current situation shouldn't be too bad, right?
"However, judging from your expression just now, did you already know that the person Zero sent was Qi Lin?"
Why didn't I see any shock just now?
"I expected it. Qi Lin's family has left the clan and suddenly disappeared without a trace. Now, apart from Zero, he seems to have nowhere else to go, since he still has some value to us."
Qi Lin hasn't been wasting his time at the company. He was also the acting CEO before, so he should have more inside information than anyone else.
That's all the usefulness they have now.
Mayorlin nodded knowingly, picked up the contract in his hand and stood up. "I'm leaving now. I still need to follow up with Xingyue. You, the BOSS, are quite leisurely."
He's definitely a hands-off manager.
The news that the Delin family and Xingyue were collaborating was spreading rapidly throughout the international community.
The Delin family's international standing had already risen rather rapidly, but no one expected this bombshell to hit them now.
If Delin's previous rise was a miraculous recovery and a slow climb up the ladder, now he has made a significant leap on the international stage.
Night falls, a gentle breeze carries a chill.
Bai Feng had already changed out of his suit and into comfortable training clothes. "Seriously, you two called me out in the middle of the night just to drink coffee in the cold wind? Don't you know that drinking coffee like that will give you a stomachache?"
He looked puzzled. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even give him a second glance, let alone come.
The girl hugged the warm blanket, smelled the aroma of coffee, and smiled. "Of course... not."
“Since Zero can make use of Qi Lin’s only remaining value, I think we can too.” Qi Silin’s gaze suddenly turned ruthless, causing Bai Feng to involuntarily take a step back.
What kind of look is that? Why do I always feel like I'm being exploited?
"What...do you want to ask?"
Bai Feng sighed, knowing that he couldn't get past this hurdle today, but he was no longer a member of Zero. As an adversary, it shouldn't matter if he said something, right?
The girl lowered her eyes and took a sip of her still-steaming coffee. "Zero's current location, how many people are inside, how much weaponry is inside... In short, tell me whatever you know."
Compared to Zero, they know relatively little.
Bai Feng nodded, sat down opposite the two of them, and began to slowly recount what he knew.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Feng's coffee was completely empty. "Why are you asking this? You're not thinking of making the first move, are you?"
This idea is a bit dangerous now.
Qi Silin nodded. "Zero is too quiet right now, don't you think? They're definitely preparing something. So why don't we just attack directly?"
In the current situation, the longer we wait, the greater the danger.
Although Zero had disappeared for a long time, it now seems that the disappearance of the Zero organization on the international stage was just a lie, and they were probably already secretly gathering inside.
The capabilities behind this are likely far beyond their imagination. If that's the case, then the current Delin family still can't withstand it.
Bai Feng was taken aback, then tilted his head. "That seems to make sense."
Although there's an element of gambling involved, it's still better than waiting for Delin to come knocking on your door.
“But…” He frowned, still looking somewhat uneasy. “What I know might not be entirely true. Although I was with Zero before, that person never trusted me.”
If Zero hadn't had leverage over him back then, how could they have possibly wanted to control him?
"I know, but there must be some truth to what you're saying." Qi Jiu smiled at him, as if she had already anticipated this situation.
Whether it's true or false is no longer important; someone will verify it anyway.
"So what do you plan to do next?"
If we only have this much information and want to attack, it won't be that simple.
The man pursed his lips. "We'll send people to investigate, don't worry."
Instead of waiting for them to make a move, it's better to take the initiative ourselves. However, this is just a branch in H Continent, and it will take some time to find out who's behind them.
"Have you ever met the master you're talking about?"
"I've met him. He's not very old, probably just over thirty. He has a bad temper and looks a bit irritating."
Bai Feng pursed his lips. "What's wrong?"
The young girl was deep in thought, pondering the information about you in the previous letters. "Just over thirty? Then the master behind Zero isn't him. He must also be a pawn."
Based on the previous description, even if Zero's true master is not as old as Han Yan, he should be around a few years old.
In her thirties, impossible.
Bai Feng didn't know what grudges were involved, but after hearing what she said, he didn't deny it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Lin stared fearfully at the tightly closed door in front of him.
The hand rose and fell repeatedly, before the person took a deep breath and, as if making a firm decision, knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Smack!"
Hearing the sound of a glass shattering inside, Qi Lin felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead and back.
"What are you doing if you don't come in!"
The roar from inside was so loud that Qi Lin trembled before pushing open the door and entering. "Master, Master..."
Normally, I might not know what it means to have a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but now I have witnessed it for myself.
