Chapter 269 Their respective battlefields
"How did you know it was me? My voice shouldn't be a giveaway, right?"
"I didn't notice it at first." Li Muchan leaned back on the back seat of the car again. Xia Yue was woken up by Li Muchan's movements of leaning forward and then lying on his back.
She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Li Muhan with dissatisfaction. Li Muhan immediately stroked her head gently and let her sleep on his shoulder again before continuing to speak to the girl in the driver's seat, "I asked Director Lin to give me some information about you. I have the information, but not a single photo. Even my little brother who is proficient in opening boxes can't find any photos of you."
"Oh?" Director Fang glanced at the rearview mirror and asked curiously, "Then how did you find out it was mine?"
Li Muhan sighed and said, "You know what? Demons actually have very poor eyesight. No, that shouldn't be said. Demons don't identify humans by appearance, but by their souls and breath. Even if you've only spoken to me over the phone, even if your voice is completely different, but your soul..."
When the girl heard this, she roughly understood what it meant. She smiled bitterly, as if mocking her own carelessness.
After all, I know that the other party is a devil.
Li Muhan's gaze was as cold as ice as he stared directly at Director Fang. His words were filled with questioning and provocation. "Director Fang, I don't care how long you've been planning this. I don't care what kind of grudges and entanglements you had with the deceased director. However, his death is inextricably linked to you, right?"
Director Fang remained calm on the surface, but a subtle flicker of panic flashed across his eyes. "Oh, just as that weirdo Mu Ya said, you really do look like a detective. So, are you planning to question me, the Director, as the captain of a small Special Management Bureau team?"
Li Muhan's tone was threatening: "Originally, I did consider taking you back to Tianhai City. After all, from your tone, it seems that you are afraid of Director Lin Ze."
Upon hearing this, Director Fang couldn't help but chuckle. "You have a truly unique sense of humor. Every member of our Special Management Bureau holds Director Lin in awe. When you said 'originally,' do you mean you've changed your mind and won't hold me accountable anymore?"
"Director Fang, please don't misunderstand. Although I'm a demon, I still adhere to certain rules, at least for now. And, your guess just now is correct. I don't intend to take any action against you for using me."
There was a subtle tolerance in Li Muhan's words, but just as he was about to lean forward again, Xia Yue held his shoulder with her hand.
The little vampire muttered in a half-asleep state, "Just speak properly, don't act like someone with ADHD..."
"Oh? Can I ask why?"
The smile on Director Fang's face had disappeared, replaced by a thoughtfulness that was totally inconsistent with her age.
Li Muhan paused slightly before continuing, "Because of the true intention you revealed in our conversation just now—you want to protect this city and make it a better place. At least in this regard, I don't think you have any malicious intent."
The smile on Director Fang's face gradually faded, replaced by a deep thought beyond her years. Li Muhan's words clearly touched her. After a moment, a smile returned to her lips. "Bai Hu said you were a fool who couldn't even control your own power, but I think he might have made some mistakes in his judgment."
"...Are you familiar with Baihu? I still have a score to settle with him."
Li Muhan and Baihu had no personal grudges. After all, he had been eliminated before the final showdown.
What he couldn't tolerate was that Baihu actually stepped on Xia Yue's head. Yes, that's right, he was so stingy. Li Muhan would remember this incident for the rest of his life.
"Well, I guess he's familiar with me, though he probably wouldn't admit it..." The girl clearly didn't want to discuss her relationship with Baihu any further. "We've arrived at the airport. Although they're still clearing snow, we've arranged a special plane to take you three safely back to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau."
Li Muhan was carrying the still sleeping Xia Yue on his back, with Yin Qi following behind him. They looked as harmonious as a brother with two sisters.
Before he finally boarded the plane, Director Fang called out to him, "Captain Li."
"What's wrong, Director Fang, is there anything else?"
"Well... that's it... this time, thank you. We should have been helping you, but in the end, we took advantage of you. If there's a next time, when you come to Luobei City, I hope I can truly do my best to be a good host."
Li Muhan turned around and looked at the girl's expression, which was a little timid due to nervousness. He didn't know if this was just another act, but it didn't matter. "Well, next time I will bring all the members of the team here."
"Um... well, my name is Fang Qingxue."
"Fang Qingxue, okay, I'll remember this. Let's say goodbye."
Watching the plane take off, the girl slowly put her hands into the pockets of her dark coat, as if looking for some comfort.
At this moment, a staff member from the Luobei City Special Management Bureau came to her side quietly and said, "Director Fang, the mayor wants you to attend an emergency meeting."
"This old fox finally can't sit still anymore." The girl smiled softly, pulled out a box of exquisite cigarettes from her pocket, and deftly pulled out a cigarette and put it to her lips. The staff beside her immediately stepped forward to light it for her, but after taking only one puff, she suddenly coughed violently, her face flushing slightly.
"Director Fang, you're still young. Smoking is bad for your health." The staff member took the cigarette from her hand with concern and gently advised, "You don't have to imitate Director Lin in everything. She's not an ordinary person. Besides, you're human, and she's an alien."
Hearing this, the girl was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she said softly, "Once this is over, Director Lin will probably have to teach me a lesson. But for now, let's deal with the problem at hand. Without the Huang Group, I want to see what tricks these old guys can come up with."
After saying that, the girl turned around, turned her back to the departing plane, and walked resolutely towards her own battle stage.
......
The top floor of the Hami Network Technology Company building in Tianhai City.
A man wearing glasses, well-dressed and with an extraordinary temperament was processing documents at his desk. His eyes were as cold as a pond, with almost no emotion.
This person is none other than Qi Su, the president of Hami Company.
Boom boom boom——
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and Qi Su said lightly: "Come in."
So a woman in a suit walked into the office cautiously, holding a document in her hand. After making sure she wouldn't disturb Qi Su, she slowly walked to his desk and said, "Mr. Qi, this is this year's financial report."
Qi Su took the report. When he looked at the woman, the coldness on his face melted away, and a smile warmed everyone's heart. "Thank you. It's already February 7th, and it's New Year's Eve in two days. Have those employees who live far away gone home yet?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Qi, according to your arrangement, they were sent home on the 1st. Everyone is very happy."
"Well, you should rest after get off work today."
"Mr. Qi, the holiday schedule has been released. Shouldn't you go home and rest for a while? I remember your home is not in Tianhai City, right?"
Qi Su took off his glasses, rubbed his aching nose, and then stood up and walked to the French window: "Well, my hometown... is a very small... city..."
You idiot, don’t you understand what people are saying?!
“It must be a beautiful city.”
[Hahahaha, nerd, did you bring your money today? Damn! What's that look in your eyes!? How dare you stare at me! Beat him up!]
"Yeah..." Qi Su said, looking at his own faint reflection on the French window glass, "It is... a very simple small city."
"Mr. Qi, you are really amazing to be able to come out of such a small place."
"I told you! Second place is meaningless! No one will remember second place! How could I have given birth to an idiot like you?!"
"Yeah, it's not easy..."
"You must love your hometown very much."
[Catch him for me, I'm going to teach this nerd a lesson! ]
Throw away his glasses!
Alas, that child is like a robot. What’s the use of having good academic performance?
That’s right, I really hope my children won’t be like him. The most important thing is that they can live happily.
"Very... love." Qi Su found that he could hardly control the twitching of his mouth in the reflection. He wanted to end this conversation immediately. Those memories...
etc.
When did the bullying, the insults, and the violence stop?
[Hold him down! I'm going to pull out all his teeth today!]
No...no, please, I didn't do anything, I clearly didn't do anything...
【A bunch of idiots】
The appearance of that voice was like a ray of light that pierced the darkness...
[He may seem like an idiot, but you scum who only know how to bully the weak with your numbers, come on if you're not afraid of death.]
Yes...it was he who helped me dispel those dark clouds...it was he who reached out to me when I was hiding in the sewer.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Qi Su took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the window glass reflected not only himself and his secretary, but also the man leaning against the door...
The secretary looked at the man at the door nervously and asked, "Who...who are you? How did you get up here?"
"I'm from the Tianhai City Public Security Bureau. I'm here to ask you something."
Li Muhan casually waved his ID card and said to Qi Su who had his back to him.
