A young man with dyed yellow hair rushed out of the room, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
He casually looked everyone over, then angrily shouted, "How dare you bully an elderly person? Have you lost all your manners and upbringing?"
"I knocked on the door, but no one answered, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Who am I bullying?"
Jiang Shuyin kicked away the broken glass on the ground and went inside.
They heard a loud noise upstairs and sent someone down to see what was going on.
The newcomer greeted Jiang Shuyin and immediately smiled: "Hey! Aren't you that person?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Huang Mao's attitude immediately changed 360 degrees: "Brother Liu is here. This woman openly provoked us, insulted my mother, and smashed our door. I have no idea what she's here for."
“She keeps knocking on the door, making it impossible for me to work in peace. You should arrest her immediately to prevent her from endangering society.” The woman who peeked into the door earlier was Huang Mao’s mother.
Liu Xin waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this. I'll take them upstairs. Hurry up and clean up the broken glass on the ground so that Captain Yang and the others don't see it."
The blond-haired man's eyes widened. They'd just let these two go so easily, the door was closed?
The blond-haired man opened his mouth: "Brother Liu...you're not going to be able to explain this to my Brother Yang, are you?"
He bet that the woman who just arrived was definitely trying to get something from his brother Yang.
If others take an extra portion, his cousin will take one less. No way, he has to have his dad talk to Yang Kang about this.
"Alright, clean it up first." Liu Xin said impatiently to Huang Mao.
Team Leader Yang is really something. He got these relatives to take over the hotel's security and front desk duties, and now the whole family is stuck here.
People started to think that their task force was a place where anyone could stay.
Jiang Shuyin remained expressionless throughout.
The blond-haired man rolled his eyes and smiled as he agreed.
His mother was about to speak when Huang Mao grabbed her and dragged her back. After Liu Xin led Jiang Shu and the others upstairs, Huang Mao immediately lowered his head and looked up at her with malicious intent.
Liu Xin explained to them, "Those two people were Captain Yang's uncle's family. They couldn't stay in the countryside, so they forced Captain Yang to find them jobs."
"You've all seen what the job is like. The men are playing cards in groups, and the women are always trying to set us up with dates. It's so annoying."
Jiang Shuyin curled her lips slightly. This gossip wasn't very exciting; it was boring.
Team Leader Yang was staying on the top floor of the hotel, which offered a high vantage point and a good view, allowing him to observe the unusual phenomenon in a timely manner.
He vaguely remembered that Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin seemed to be quite strong, so he immediately agreed to let them temporarily join the team.
Yang Kang: "Here's the thing, we have a troublesome task right now. It involves a group of mutated flies. After we wipe them out, another batch appears. We initially suspect that there is a highly intelligent biological control behind them. Do you want to take it on?"
Jiang Shuyin: "How many mission points does this mission cost?"
Yang Kang paused for a moment, then quoted a price he was willing to pay: "Eliminating flies costs 50 mission points, finding the mastermind costs 5000 mission points."
“That’s too little.” Jiang Shuyin refused decisively: “I want to do something big, something you can’t do.”
"Pfft—" The person who was drinking water couldn't hold it in and sprayed the water in his mouth directly onto Liu Xin's face opposite him: "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it."
He then yelled at Jiang Shuyin, "Aren't you being too arrogant? Even our elite team couldn't handle this, and you think you can?"
Jiang Shu gave him a look: "Just an elite team, are they that great?"
"Our captain possesses both metal and water superpowers!"
"Innocent."
Despite being a special task force member on the front lines, they acted like an old woman with bound feet.
Yang Kang curled his lips, also harboring a desire to watch a good show: "How about this, I have another task here, which is to go to the flooded Shanghai to find the notes of the person in charge of the DR laboratory. The task points have been inflated to 100,000, and no one has been able to complete it yet."
Even he, with his water-based abilities, couldn't reach the bottom of the water.
One hundred thousand?
"I accepted it."
The elite team members around her all looked up at her.
Liu Xin: "No, you really want to go?"
Jiang Shuyin raised her bracelet and extended it: "Send me the mission details."
Yang Kang chuckled, but no matter what he was thinking, his hands didn't slow down.
After confirming her destination, Jiang Shuyin set off immediately.
Upon opening the door, I saw a man with delicate features standing in the doorway, carrying a kettle of hot water.
"Long time no see, I'm Shen Wei."
Her voice was extremely cool and aloof, her dark brown hair was long and reached her lower eyelids, and her nose was delicate yet heroic. What attracted Jiang Shuyin the most was her uniform.
The buttons on the stand-up collar are one inch below the Adam's apple.
The coat is crisp and tailored, highlighting broad shoulders, and the waist is cinched with a belt.
She wore minimal adornment, and her hands were covered with black gloves that reached only to the base of her palms, revealing the fair skin of her wrists.
Jiang Shuyin remembered him; the first time they met, he almost died.
Like a long, white porcelain vase with a slender neck, it would shatter into pieces with the slightest touch.
Now, apart from the faint pallor on his thin face, his well-fitting task force uniform made him appear even more upright.
"Long time no see. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Shen Wei smiled and nodded. After she turned around, her gaze fell on the two people behind her.
After standing there for a while, he lowered his eyes and returned to the room behind him.
"I thought you'd been captured by a monster. Does it take this long to fetch water?" Shen Xi had arranged all the tea-making tools neatly, waiting for his pot of hot water.
It's been delayed.
Shen Wei lit a cigarette and stood by the window, taking a deep drag and exhaling slowly and gently.
Chen Xi: "Something happened?"
Do you still remember Jiang Shuyin?
"I remember... I was pretty good at fighting tentacle monsters."
"I saw her when I came out from Yang Kang's place."
"And then?" Shen Xi chuckled, pouring hot water into the purple clay teapot, filling it with the aroma of tea. He filled two cups and raised them towards Shen Wei: "Drink tea, calm your mind."
Shen Wei looked up at him: "It's no use, I'm going to go and see."
Shen Xi raised an eyebrow, took a bunch of keys from his waist and tossed them to him: "Yang Kang gave her that mission in Shanghai."
Task force leaders can see each other's actions in the background.
Originally intended to prevent everyone from doing the same task at the same time, it was later also used to monitor other elite teams.
Shen Xi shared the task with him, and it showed that he could apply to join the team. Without thinking, Shen clicked to apply and ran downstairs.
The broken glass on the first floor remained untouched.
