"Hey! Hey! Wait! Let's talk it over, okay? I'm willing!"
The phone went dead. Gu Yanxue immediately regretted it and angrily dialed back, but the phone was switched off!
Her eyebrows shot up immediately. She wanted to smash her phone but couldn't bring herself to do it. In the end, she kicked the wall in frustration, her resentment growing stronger.
Meanwhile, after Tongsu finished her meal, the maid received another call from Ye Qingxi on the landline, asking if Tongsu was free in the afternoon so he could pick her up in person.
Tong Su answered the phone with a smile, "Young Master Ye, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me?"
Over there, Ye Qingxi smiled and said vaguely, "Of course it's important business."
When Tongsu asked again, he refused to say more over the phone. In the afternoon, he came to the Gu family home and took her out to a very popular coffee shop.
After the waiter had filled the table with the ordered items, he went inside, locked the door, and checked that there were no listening devices. Only then did he sit down opposite Tong Su, ponder for a moment, and speak:
Have you ever heard of mutants?
The girl opposite him turned icy cold in an instant!
"Who doesn't know that mutants are hated by everyone? If someone has superpowers, they'll be viewed with suspicion and hostility by ordinary people. Most ordinary people, upon hearing that someone is a mutant, will avoid them like the plague. Why are you asking me this?"
Ye Qingxi took a sip of coffee, placed her hand on the table, looked up, and stared intently at her.
"Because, so am I."
Five sharp claws suddenly shot out from the tips of his five fingers!
"A renewed appreciation for Ye Qingxi, the captain of the Special Operations Team of a National Special Department. The department is currently recruiting talent. Are you interested in joining?"
Tong Su was very surprised by Ye Qingxi's initiative to reveal her secrets, but she showed shock and fear on her face, perfectly portraying a timid and ignorant girl.
Finally, she told him, "I'm sorry, this matter has had too much of an impact on me, and I can't give you an answer right away."
Ye Qingxi seemed to have expected this, and didn't press the issue, smiling as she said, "Of course I understand. This coffee is very good, you can try it."
After drinking coffee and chatting for an afternoon, Ye Qingxi asked her about Wu Ming. Tong Su pretended not to know, but he kept pestering her until evening, when he took her home.
After leaving the Gu family, Ye Qingxi, with a somber expression, contacted her subordinates.
The subordinate was extremely distressed: "Captain Ye, the identity information of Wu Ming, whom you asked us to investigate, is all correct. There's nothing wrong with him. He's just a wealthy young man from the country who was traveling in Southeast Asia and rescued Miss Gu along the way. There's nothing wrong with him."
“It would be a problem if there were no problems.” Ye Qingxi pressed her temples and said irritably, “I always feel that Wu Ming looks very familiar. I’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere before. He’s familiar yet unfamiliar. This feeling is really making me uneasy.”
The subordinate said, "If you have doubts, why did you bring your fiancée into the department? If he has problems, doesn't your fiancée also have problems?"
Ye Qingxi's gaze was deep: "They say you have to beat the grass to alert the snake, but if the snake is hiding too deep, you have to beat the grass to expose it. I deliberately dragged her into this. If there's any problem, it will naturally come to light. If there's no problem, it's just adding a talent to the department, which is not a bad thing."
He made up his mind, and his subordinates nodded: "We will all listen to you."
Ye Qingxi said, "She didn't agree directly. I'll go ask her a few more times later. As for Wu Ming, you guys continue to investigate."
"yes!"
