Outside the base, Qingfeng, his hair covered in dirt, jumped out of the car and pounced on Mingyue, who had also rushed over.
"Dude, you have no idea what I went through on that trip. Sigh, I can't talk about it anymore, it's all so painful!"
Mingyue looked calmly at the person in her arms, but her eyes held a burning passion.
Nevertheless, he simply replied, "Oh, thank you for your hard work!"
Qingfeng looked up, puzzled. "I look so haggard, and all you say is 'You've worked hard,' and that's it?"
"It's gone."
The bright moon pushed the breeze aside, patted his messy hair, and smiled slightly.
But this was clearly not the reaction Qingfeng wanted.
Just then, Zhang Yang ran over, grabbed Qingfeng's arm, and exclaimed happily, "Brother, you're amazing! You actually survived this ordeal. I'm truly impressed!"
Qingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew that Zhang Yang was a dog who couldn't say anything nice, and he shouldn't expect him to say anything heartwarming.
However, this is still much better than Mingyue, who is a taciturn person.
So, Qingfeng dragged Zhang Yang aside to complain.
The investigator from headquarters who accompanied them was left behind to explain the situation.
"Hello, I am Du Nuo, an investigator from headquarters. Since receiving 'Chaotic Feathers,' headquarters has been conducting emergency experiments and has finally discovered the weaknesses of these recombinant gene monsters. This bottle contains a suppressive drug that we developed. You can bring this with you in the next battle."
Jiang Ruan took the items, and Du Nuo glanced at Gu An before continuing, "As for the antibiotics, some were specially approved by the state, and the rest will arrive gradually. I will be responsible for assisting the doctors here in administering the injections to the patients."
He glanced at everyone present. "Which one of you is the doctor?"
Jiang Yan stepped forward, extended his hand and gave him a light handshake. "Hello, I'm Jiang Yan, you can just call me Dr. Jiang."
"Dr. Jiang, hello, I'm Du Nuo, an investigator from headquarters. It's a pleasure working with you!"
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
The two had essentially crossed paths.
Then, Du Nuo turned around and looked at Jiang Ruan. "I know Miss Jiang. It's all in the information Qingfeng brought. I know all of you, so we don't need to introduce you separately."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Du Nuo extended his hand to Jiang Ruan. She raised an eyebrow, finding him somewhat interesting, but she still rubbed her clothes with her hand and politely declined.
"Sorry, my hands are too dirty, it's inconvenient."
Du Nuo withdrew his hand, a hint of unreadable emotion in his eyes, stared at Gu An behind Jiang Ruan, and pursed his lips.
Gu An had a gloomy face from the moment he met Du Nuo. Although he disguised it very well, Jiang Ruan still noticed it.
Therefore, she subconsciously did not shake hands with Du Nuo.
“Ruan Ruan~~~”
Just as the situation was getting awkward, An Xia ran over, her forehead covered in sweat, showing how rushed she had come.
However, she seemed very happy, jumping around, and her face was flushed.
"Xiaxia, you..."
"Shh! Come here, I'll tell you." An Xia pulled Jiang Ruan away, leaving the men standing at the door behind.
Noticing the situation, Du Chongcai quickly ushered everyone inside.
The original base had problems, so this was a temporary one they set up. Although it was simple, it had all the necessary components.
Hua Yi came over after An Xia returned.
She still had a big smile on her face, and even when she looked at Gu An, she seemed happier, no longer showing the confrontational attitude she used to have.
"What's wrong with you? Get away from me." Gu An pushed away Hua Yi, who kept moving closer to him.
But he shamelessly kept leaning up to him.
Gu An let him have his way.
Because he had already guessed why he was so happy.
"Are you together?" Gu An's voice rang out above Hua Yi. He looked up, his face slightly flushed, showing a hint of youthful shyness.
His appearance almost made Gu An throw him out.
"No, I'm just happy. Don't let my flamboyant personality fool you, I'm still single, so it's amazing that a girl I like likes me back. Mutual affection is just so heartwarming."
Hua Yi tugged at Gu An's sleeve, urging him to sit down, and spoke from the heart.
Seeing the two of them like this, Du Nuo snorted and turned his head away.
"Huh? What do you mean? Why did you even come here?" He reached out and shook hands. "Weren't you always number two? How did you join headquarters and become a full-fledged employee? How did someone like you get in?"
Hua Yi knew Du Nuo.
Because Du Nuo was once a prominent figure on the assassin rankings.
However, Hua Yi was more skilled and always came out on top, ranking first and second.
"Hua Yi, ha, I'm not going to argue with you, there's no point in that. I'm here to represent the headquarters' attitude and actions, to assist Dr. Jiang in treating the patients, not to chat with you here."
Duno clearly didn't want to pay any attention to his former colleague.
"Tch, dodging the topic when you can't win is your usual trick." Hua Yi scoffed and turned to look at the unfamiliar face.
"You're Dr. Jiang?"
It wasn't that he had any supernatural powers; it was just that this person had a certain smell, the kind that only doctors have, and he was quite sensitive to it, so he smelled it as soon as he came in.
"No...that's right, Jiang Yan is Wan Mei's senior brother." Jiang Yan didn't know why he added Wan Mei's name. In any case, he felt that this person was a bit scary, so adding it was more reassuring than not adding it.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Jiang. My 'friend' is not someone you can easily take care of."
After saying that, Hua Yi lowered her head to drink water and ignored everyone else.
"Gu An, Mr. Gu, right? I never expected someone of your esteemed status to be in such a small place. It's truly unexpected."
Du Nuo then turned her attention to Gu An.
He still remembers that he didn't shake hands with Jiang Ruan because of him.
"Oh, there's a lot more you wouldn't expect," Gu An said casually without even looking up.
Du Nuo felt ignored. He came because he knew Gu An was there, and he was there for a woman.
So he was very curious about what kind of woman the young master Gu, who was always indifferent to women, ruthless, and extremely cunning, and who had killed without blinking an eye, would like.
He saw her; she was indeed a beautiful woman.
He also wants a share.
Not only did he steal Gu An's love, but he could also take the opportunity to disgust Hua Yi, who had oppressed him for years—a win-win situation.
He smiled, but inadvertently met Dongyang's gaze. The chill in that gaze made even this top assassin tremble. He was defeated after only a few glances.
He fell silent, beginning to realize that his impulsive decision might have been a mistake.
"You, Du Chong, Captain Du, right!"
Looking around, only this person and that doctor seem to have a better chance of getting along.
