Soon, he was soaked through.

Not far away, Su Chen looked at the girl who was soaking wet and several empty wine bottles next to her, his eyes filled with heartache. He was about to go forward when Nan Chen stopped him.

"Don't go. She hasn't visited Chu Chu in a long time, and we don't know when the next time will be. Let's give them some space."

Su Chen looked at the worry in Nan Chen's eyes and sighed.

That hypocritical old man!

Nan Chen: "..."

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Jiu descended the mountain, leaving the daisies in front of the tombstone, letting the rain wash over them. But despite the rain, the daisies didn't seem to wither; in fact, they became even more vibrant.

"Sis! Where have you been? You're soaking wet! Are you alright?"

As soon as Qi Jiu returned to The Matrix, everyone working in the building swarmed around her.

"It's alright! Don't worry, you can continue. I'll have someone prepare some coffee for you."

Back in her room, Qi Jiu looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and nonchalantly shook her already soaked hair.

"You look really pathetic."

She held the towel in her hand and wiped it on her dark hair. Her dark eyes looked at the mirror, and they seemed to brighten.

He then spoke with some impatience, "It rains all the time! I'd rather be the Emperor of Heaven! He doesn't even know when it should rain and when it shouldn't. He has no sense at all!"

The Heavenly King: "..."

I won't say a word until my lawyer arrives!

After changing her clothes, Qi Jiu headed towards her office. She had only gone halfway when she saw Su Chen rushing towards the reception room.

Why the rush?

"Sis, the boss of the M organization is here!"

Qi Jiu looked at his anxious face: "...That BOSS eats people?"

Su Chen: "..."

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

"Sis, actually, after our Matrix took on the Death Gate Island mission, the M organization also requested a mission from us, and they asked you for one too. I remember we refused at the time, but the result was..."

"You agreed?" The girl raised an eyebrow.

Su Chen nodded: "Yes. So now the M organization is backing down and is demanding an explanation."

His complexion was not good; it looked worse than if he had eaten something.

Qi Jiu: "..." What kind of melodramatic thing is this now!

The girl patted his shoulder, her face showing no sign of urgency. "Don't worry, I'll go and talk to her."

In the reception room, Nan Chen looked at the man opposite her who was determined not to budge and felt a headache coming on.

"that……"

"Since you accepted the mission, shouldn't you take responsibility?"

The person opposite him crossed their long legs, and their cold voice echoed in the reception room. Nan Chen had already choked on his words several times.

Nan Chen: "..."

Money is hard to earn, and life is tough! I really can't stand this job for even a day!

"Old man, I heard someone's looking for me?" A mechanical female voice came from the doorway of the reception room.

Upon hearing this, all eyes in the reception room turned to the doorway.

At the same time, the girl also saw through the true face of the M organization's BOSS.

Qi Jiu: "!!!"

She stopped walking without realizing it, and her dark eyes, exposed to the air, trembled slightly. But she quickly realized what was happening.

What is he doing here?

"Old man, you can go out now."

"ah?"

Nan Chen stared at the person at the door, stunned for a moment, "You..."

"Don't worry, I can handle it. If you can't, I can."

Before Nan Chen could finish speaking, Qi Jiu grabbed his sleeve and threw him out of the reception room.

Nan Chen: "..."

For a moment, only the two of them remained in the entire reception room.

Qi Jiu sat down opposite that person and pushed the teacup on the table forward.

But the man didn't seem to appreciate it. "You Matrix shouldn't do things like this, right? You take on a task, but then you want to back out. You should give us M an explanation."

Qi Jiu wasn't annoyed by what the other person was saying.

"MoMo".

The mechanical female voice had somehow transformed into her own.

The person opposite was about to reach for the tea on the table when they heard that familiar voice, paused, and then looked up sharply.

What's going on... Could it be the person he's thinking of?

Perhaps out of nervousness, Shen Cimo didn't say a word, just stared intently at her, as if waiting for her next move.

The reception room fell silent instantly, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.

Sure enough, the person on the other side moved the next second.

His fair fingers touched the mask, and under his gaze, the mask slowly moved away, revealing a delicate face.

Shen Cimo: "!!"

"Qiqi!"

What the hell? How did Qiqi end up here?

Qi Jiu looked at the person in front of her who was so shocked that their mouth couldn't close, and a smile crept onto her lips.

This was the first time she'd ever seen him look so shocked, and she found it rather novel. Before, as the eldest son in the family, he'd always acted maturely in everything he did.

"Yes, it's me."

The girl nodded, looking at him with interest.

“N had already accepted the mission to Death Gate Island, and then probably accidentally accepted a mission from your M organization. But N doesn’t have a clone.”

As she spoke, the girl leaned forward slightly.

"Look, what kind of compensation does your M organization want? We, the Matrix, will try our best to give it to you."

Shen Cimo was still in shock when Qi Jiu suddenly brought up serious matters, and he was taken aback for a moment.

"ah?"

He touched his forehead with his large hand, and looked up a second before his brain cells died.

"Qiqi, so you're from The Matrix?"

He seemed to have automatically ignored the girl's question, and looking at Qi Jiu, he asked the question that had been on his mind the most.

"Yes." Qi Jiu did not deny it. She took out two mints from her pocket, put one in her mouth, and threw the other to the person opposite her.

She smiled, a bright and cheerful smile. "Mo Mo, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Shen Cimo tore off the candy's outer coating, and the moment the candy entered his mouth, the minty flavor exploded in his mouth, and the icy sensation spread across his tongue, making him feel much more awake.

"How much influence do you have in The Matrix?"

An ordinary hacker or staff member wouldn't make such a bold statement.

"Second only to the old man who was talking to you just now."

Shen Cimo: "!!!"

A big shot has arrived at the Shen family! That old man from earlier was the owner of The Matrix!

"So you are..." Shen Cimo didn't know what motivated him to ask this question, but he knew that he was nervous and expectant.

Qi Jiu tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her dark eyes shining brightly, "The N you're looking for."

Shen Cimo: "!!"
