Chapter 154 Promotion
After listening, Yu smiled at the other person. The person took a sip of coffee and gave a brief evaluation of how awful it was, saying that the coffee's brewing technique was one ten-thousandth worse than Li Lin's—it was all instant coffee from the same brand, which was completely unfounded.
She was about to say something more when Yu Jianchu suddenly stepped forward and gave her a hug.
Although for a moment her thought was that it wasn't necessary to do this—we've been scheming against each other for so many years, and we've only cooperated a few times for the sake of so-called kinship, so there's no need for this sentimental act. Besides, there are observers all around, and those idiots will probably be wearing those touching smiles like they're watching a family drama with a happy ending…—she still accepted it.
The embrace was tight, filled with warmth and a sense of relief; it was a response to escaping death, and also a gift from a living person.
So she thought for a moment, then raised her hand and patted Yu Jianchu on the back.
The man quickly released his grip, his expression a mix of bewilderment and numbness, and said in a light tone, "See? I told you we could survive."
“I know, this isn’t heaven,” Yu Yu said with a smile, but at the same time she was thinking, of course this isn’t heaven, this is a new hell.
A group of researchers in the room stared at them with professional smiles, yet dared not approach them without permission.
"We're going to a promotion banquet later, go change your clothes first."
The other party understood the meaning behind these words and went to the side hall. Yu Yu followed him in, casually closed the door, and then threw something onto the doorknob.
Yu Jianchu nonchalantly began to take off her clothes. She knew that if they walked directly to a place where signals were blocked, the observer would definitely make a fuss about it, but time was of the essence, and this was the only chance to have a private conversation.
As she took the dress from Yu Yun, she said, "We survived."
“You already said that someone will be coming over later; they’ve specifically sent this person to keep an eye on us.”
"Is he handsome?"
"He's incredibly handsome, the kind of guy you'd want to kill the moment you see him." Yu Yu remained unmoved and continued, "Also, Li Lin has been transferred to the Heavenly Gospel."
Yu Jianchu paused in his act of putting on the formal attire, and the man continued, "There's no way to back down now. The authorization has been approved by all the higher-ups, and the operation report shows that he just arrived at his destination three hours ago."
"Once you get out, we might face all sorts of similar questions, so you'd better think before you answer. Also, you can't contact him from here by adjusting permissions, and neither can any of us. The mental pollution level there is already maxed out. Eoubs only has two options: participate in the ritual created by the Heavenly Gospel, or implement a forced control plan, but many people will die. It's estimated that everyone on the previous reinforcement list will die, so we'll plan how to rescue him after we attend the banquet. The operation can't be kept secret, I suggest..."
The door was flung open, and a man in an expensive suit stood there, staring intently at them, and asked, "Were you in bed together in there or what? Isn't it about time for your reminiscing?"
“Yes, this is Gu Heng, the person who will be meeting us at this promotion banquet.” Yu glanced at him and said coldly, “As you can see, he’s a bastard who likes to peep at women changing clothes. He’s going to take us to the specific hall of that banquet.”
The other party stared at them for a while before saying they could call him whatever they wanted. Yu Jianchu didn't react at all. She just slowly put on her clothes, pinned on her brooch, and then gave him a smile. The resentment and murderous intent in that instant disappeared. This smile, like herself at that moment, was very gentle and extremely friendly.
"I knew it would be a handsome man picking us up," she said, shaking hands with him.
Then Yu Yu raised an eyebrow at the pervert—that's what they decided to call him for now—and closed the door.
Only the two of them remained in the side hall. Yu Jianchu's smile vanished instantly: "Anything else?"
"From now on, you will live with us."
"us?"
“Yes, it’s very interesting. We’re moving to a private villa—built specifically by Eoubs. It’s fully equipped with all the necessary facilities and medications. Even though there are plenty of rest rooms at headquarters, they’re making it look like there’s no room left, so they can house all the threatening people there.” Yu Yu leaned closer and pressed on her shoulder, feeling her tense body.
"What they mean is that you shouldn't go back to an empty house after suffering such terrible torment, and Li Lin won't come back either, so my coming to pick you up 'home' would be a way to strengthen our relationship."
Yu Jianchu pinched the bridge of his nose to indicate that he understood.
"Who else is there besides you and me?"
"He Yu, and Pandora."
"Damn...there's another man?"
"Didn't you used to sleep in the same room as Li Lin?"
"This is different from all the others. I don't sleep with him. This idiot is obsessed with that dead man all the time. It's driving me crazy."
“It’s still the same.” Yu Yu hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth: “Actually, it’s most likely just the three of us. 252 is missing, and as for He Yu… the observers haven’t found any signs of his movements yet.”
"Could he be dead?" Her mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Impossible, he's been promoted to B05. His current strength is among the top in the entire Dongxia branch. I'll give you some access in a bit, go check the internal intelligence station, there are posts about him everywhere, he's incredibly prominent." Yu Yu said sarcastically, then checked the time, "By the way, stay away from me after we go out."
