Tang Yue still hadn't returned by 10 o'clock.
Frustrated, Yu Wan threw off the covers, turned on the small bedside lamp, and made a video call to the other person.
The call was slow to connect, only getting through just before the connection was about to be disconnected, with background noise coming through the screen.
"No, we can continue tracking the target even if we lose him, but losing this group of elites would be the greatest loss for the country."
"What are you doing in the investigation department? You still can't confirm whether the other side knew about it."
"Anyone can sit there and make sarcastic remarks. If you're so good, why don't you do it yourself? With your department operating at such a snail's pace, you might not even be able to find the person."
"you……"
The heated debate abruptly stopped after Tang Yue closed the door.
Yu Wan frowned slightly. Just now, she seemed to have seen one or two important figures who frequently appeared in television news reports in the video, which made her understanding of Tang Yue's background even more profound.
"Oh, it's so late already. Why aren't you asleep yet?" Tang Yue leaned against the windowsill, his long, slender fingers gently pinching his brow, a hint of weariness in his expression.
Yu Wan was silent for a moment, then softened her tone and asked dryly, "Did you receive the transfer?"
"What transfer?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow in confusion and exited the chat. He had been busy all day and hadn't even had time to look at his phone or eat dinner.
Swipe down on the notification and you'll see a bank card information.
[...Account 099 received a deposit of 50,000,000 at 21:24, bringing the current balance to 50,012,014 yuan.]
Tang Yue paused for a moment, then chuckled.
The young girl really didn't want to owe him anything.
Click back to the video.
"What is this?" he asked, feigning ignorance.
Stared at by those deep, star-like eyes, Yu Wan felt her face inexplicably burn. She gripped the blanket tightly and said matter-of-factly, "Since you sent this gift in my name, how can you pay for it? Do I look like someone who's short of money?"
[...]
It's hopeless.
The Mir 2 spacecraft was launched and then immediately deactivated.
This host truly deserves to be single forever.
"..." Tang Yue stared at her for a moment.
The little girl in the video had her eyebrows raised, as always, and was quite flamboyant. But her slightly red ear tips always betrayed her truest emotions.
His displeasure vanished involuntarily; he should have known that the girl was always so hypocritical.
Before he could even speak, the little girl began to scold him fiercely: "If you don't have money, don't act like a big spender. After all, you don't have a father like Old Man Yu. Be more frugal in the future. Also, hurry up and pay that bastard back the money. You can't owe him anything."
Tang Yue frowned slightly: "Did Guan Zhiji upset you?"
Yu Wan raised her chin nonchalantly, her brows furrowed with arrogance: "That bastard can only talk big, I don't take him seriously."
He was both arrogant and roguish.
A complete playboy.
But with those delicate and three-dimensional features, it's impossible to dislike her.
"Okay, I'll pay him back properly later." Tang Yue spoke slowly, enunciating each word clearly. When he said "properly," the coldness in his eyes almost pierced through the screen, but he quickly concealed it.
Yu Wan was very pleased with his defense and asked with a smile, "What, are you planning to beat him up?"
"I'm not very good at these things," Tang Yue said modestly. "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Yu Wan's red lips grew ever higher: "On a dark and windy night, I'll put a burlap sack over it, and nobody will know."
Seeing her beaming face, and knowing that the events of the day hadn't affected her at all, Tang Yue was completely relieved: "Okay, we'll do as you say..."
The two chatted for more than twenty minutes. When they finally hung up, Yu Wan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up.
"How could I forget to ask about the coffee shop..."
But thinking of Tang Yue's tired appearance, she decided to put her phone down.
Never mind, I'll just ask him again tomorrow.
but.
the next day.
"What?" Yu Wan exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean he's already gone abroad?"
Rong Yun explained, "Anyway, he has a secret mission, and he boarded the plane last night." Because she didn't know how much Yu Wan knew about Tang Yue, she spoke vaguely. "In short, you can stay here with me without worry."
Yu Wan hummed in agreement, a sudden sense of loss creeping into her heart.
He left without even saying goodbye to her.
Grandma Rong was quite perceptive and immediately noticed Yu Wan's attempts to conceal her emotions. She said gently, "Almost no one knows about this mission. All cell phones must be handed in and will not be retrieved until the mission is over." The implication was that it wasn't that Tang Yue didn't want to contact her, but rather that he had no choice.
Yu Wan's eyes flickered.
The more critical the mission, the more serious the situation. Could Tang Yue's life be in danger?
My mind went blank for a moment, but I quickly calmed down.
That bastard on the Peace hasn't issued any missions yet, so nothing should happen.
"...Host, you'll lose me if you keep doing this."

[...] Okay, you win, I'm logging off!
-
Yu Wan's leg injury was not serious; by the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it had begun to scab over, and she could move around without any problems.
Because she got up early, after brushing her teeth and eating breakfast, she simply lay down on the wicker chair while the sun was shining brightly, and read the extracurricular reading book that Rong Yun had arranged, "Only the Paranoid Survive," with a blank expression.
"Knock knock knock"
Someone knocked on the door.
"Wanwan, open the door for me." Grandma Rong was inside kneading dough and couldn't get away, so she called out from inside.
"Okay." Yu Wan got up, lazily dragging her slippers to open the door. She opened the door, saw the girl standing outside, and then closed it again.
Cold and distant.
"Wanwan..." Guan Kui was stunned for a moment after being turned away at the door, then quickly grabbed the door and said, "Senior told me to invite you out to play often."
Yu Wan absentmindedly uttered an "oh," and stopped moving, also out of fear of hurting her fingers.
Guan Kui breathed a sigh of relief and pressed on: "A batch of new race cars arrived at the club a couple of days ago. Do you want to go for a ride? I've already made arrangements with a few of my close friends, so no one will bother you."
"Racing?" Upon hearing these two words, Meng Shen, who was almost bursting with suppressed anger, suddenly brightened up and rushed over: "Wanwan, let's go."
This kind of settled life at home is really not suitable for someone with ADHD like him.
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow: "Really want to go?"
Meng Shen nodded vigorously: "Yes, I really want to."
After a few seconds of hesitation, he raised his hand and swore, "I definitely won't encourage you to go racing." His friend's driving skills are so amazing, it would be a real shame if he didn't participate!
Yu Wan stared at him for several moments before slowly nodding, "Okay."
Seeing this, Guan Kui smiled slightly. Her senior was right after all. Wanwan cared a lot about her friend Meng Shen. Starting with him would definitely work.
