The cat didn't answer, but simply said, "Oh, then it's alright."
After saying that, the cat hung up the phone.
Maybe she's overthinking it...
...
On the other side, Ye Mingshi gripped the safety handle tightly inside the car, staring at the highway rushing past outside. He said, "Jin Er, what's wrong with you? The roads are slippery in the snow, can't we drive slower?"
Mu Jin didn't say anything, and stepped the gas pedal all the way down.
Ye Mingshi said again, "Say something."
Ye Mingshi felt quite bitter. Why did he have to run into Mu Jin, that brooding, temperamental guy, again? Everything was calm when Maomao was around, but as soon as they left, Mu Jin started to torment him.
Their car was practically flying; the tires were almost detached from the road!
Ye Mingshi is a professional race car driver, but he is also afraid of Mu Jin, this wild one!
After a while, Mu Jin finally spoke, her voice cold and uncompromising, "Tell Gu Zeyi and Tan Zheng to go to the warehouse."
"Okay!" Ye Mingshi immediately agreed!
He was still holding onto the safety handle, sending the message with one hand.
He'd love for them to come! To share the firepower!
Half an hour later, at a warehouse in the suburbs.
This warehouse was originally used by Mu Jin specifically for modifying cars. Back when he was into cars, he modified countless models, and there are still many limited edition cars in the warehouse.
Later, this place became their base. They stocked all sorts of equipment in this warehouse, including several helicopters.
When Gu Zeyi and Tan Zheng arrived, Mu Jin was engrossed in a computer battle, her keyboard clapping loudly, as if she had a grudge against it.
Ye Mingshi was lying on the sofa, looking completely out of it.
Gu Zeyi glanced at Mu Jin's computer screen. In the game, a Night Demon was frantically unleashing skills, leaving corpses strewn everywhere.
Gu Zeyi nudged Ye Mingshi, "What's wrong? Jin Er has quite a temper."
Tan Zheng slumped into the sofa and said, "Adults are prone to irritability mainly for two reasons: either heartbreak or job loss. In the past, Jin Er wouldn't have been affected by either, but now..."
He drawled out the last syllable, as if he were frantically hinting at something.
Gu Zeyi exclaimed in surprise, "Unemployment? No, it's a breakup? My god, what happened today? Jin Er got dumped? Ye Mingshi, say something!"
Ye Mingshi lay sprawled on the sofa, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Only now did she regain a little clarity. "Damn it, Jin Er was speeding just now. He completely scrambled my neck on the road."
Gu Ze asked him, "Are you back to your senses now?"
Ye Mingshi nodded, but said, "I don't know either! It was fine at the cat's house, but it turned out like this as soon as I left."
Gu Ze asked, "You didn't really get dumped, did you?"
Ye Mingshi: "Maomao dumped Jin Er? How is that possible? Don't be ridiculous."
Gu Zeyi thought about it and also felt that it was unlikely, after all, they had seen each other yesterday and were getting along well... Could it be that the jealousy from yesterday hadn't subsided yet? That's unlikely too, that would be too unlike Jin Er.
Tan Zheng looked at Ye Ming and asked, "Then why did you call us here?"
"Ahem." Ye Mingshi cleared his throat in a serious manner. Of course, he couldn't say that they were sent here to be punching bags. He said, "Jin Er sent you here... By the way, do you know what a sea eye is?"
Tan Zheng said, "Never heard of it, what is it?"
Ye Mingshi said, "I don't know. We've been discussing it for a long time at the Jiu family's house. We don't know what it is, but it might be related to the cat's mother's illness."
Gu Zeyi suddenly sat up straight. "What did you just say?"
Ye Mingshi: "I said it might be related to the cat's mother's condition, so it's quite important."
Gu Zeyi said, "Not that sentence, the previous one!"
Ye Mingshi looked at Gu Zeyi strangely and said, "That sentence earlier... 'sea eye,' do you know what that is? Why are you so nervous?"
Gu Zeyi was indeed very nervous! He suddenly looked at Mu Jin.
Mu Jin had already stood up from his computer chair, abandoned his game, and walked over here.
Gu Zeyi asked, "Jin Er, did you call us here because of the 'Sea Eye'?"
Mu Jin nodded.
Ye Mingshi looked at them both, puzzled. "What? What are you two talking about? What's wrong with the sea eye?"
Mu Jin leaned back on the sofa, her whole demeanor heavy with tension, seemingly unwilling to speak.
Ye Mingshi and Tan Zheng both looked at Gu Zeyi.
Gu Zeyi said, "Sea Eye... This term is indeed not known to many people, because it has always appeared in classified files... Eight years ago, the scientific expedition team organized by the Song family went to the Arctic, and some things happened in the waters near the Arctic."
In the end, of the fifty-person expedition team, only a few members of the Song family returned.
This incident was reported at the time, but the information was very peripheral; the core files were sealed away.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingshi reflexively looked at Mu Jin, "Gu Zeyi, why did you bring this up?"
Of course they knew about it! Mu Jin's younger sister, Mu Xi, died in that accident! Gu Zeyi actually brought it up in front of Mu Jin, who was already in a bad mood. Wasn't he just adding fuel to the fire?
Tan Zheng also said, "It's all in the past, why bring it up?"
Gu Zeyi ignored their warnings and said, "Let me finish. In the sealed files, 'sea eye' is the key word. The expedition team's ship encountered the sea eye, which is why the accident happened."
I only got this information a few days ago; otherwise, I wouldn't know what a 'sea eye' is. But... it's strange to hear this term from the cat's mother, isn't it?
