Two hours after Lin Xiaoxiao finished her phone call with Director Fan, Zhou Mingxuan's matter came to a conclusion.
Lin Xiaoxiao was amazed by the speed at which the work was done.
"So he didn't betray us?" After hearing Director Fan's words, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't quite put her finger on what was going on, but she still breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, but asking about internal secrets without authorization is enough to get him into trouble." Director Fan was very angry.
The fact that Zhou Mingxuan found out about Lin Xiaoxiao and Chu Wuyan's identities, which were kept so secret, is as insulting as slapping him across the face.
Zhou Mingxuan is indeed quite capable; he was able to bribe a senior investigator from the Intelligence Division.
"Considering his past service to the organization, the organization intends to give him a lenient punishment."
Although angry, Zhou Mingxuan acted with discretion and did not spread the confidential information he had learned.
I've done a lot of work for the National Security Bureau before; even if I didn't achieve great things, I certainly put in a lot of effort.
The bureau plans to issue a warning by canceling his recruitment qualification and barring him from engaging in confidential work for life.
Zhou Mingxuan never expected that after doing so much, he would finally return to Beijing, only to receive nothing in return. He couldn't even get into the Special Task Force of the Third Division, and he was even forced to sign a confidentiality agreement.
If he were to spread the information he knows, he would be punished as a criminal.
No matter how unwilling he was, it was all in vain.
They could only slink back to Jiangcheng.
After learning about this, Chu Wuyan made a special trip to see Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Humans are truly complex creatures." He looked at the teacup in front of him with a brooding expression. "He wasn't like this before."
Seeing his distressed expression, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to comfort him, so she simply said, "People change."
Even blood relatives can turn against each other, let alone friends who are not related by blood.
The world is bustling with activity, all for profit.
Chu Wuyan sighed, "Never mind, everyone has their own destiny."
He and Zhou Mingxuan were among the first batch of people to enter the base. After concealing their identities, they all seemed pretty much the same, sharing everything and becoming best friends.
Back then, they were still innocent and righteous young people.
However, people are restless and not everyone can abandon fame and fortune and stay true to their original aspirations.
In the end, Zhou Mingxuan still embarked on that crooked path that went against the right way.
"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about gossip about your ex-boss." Lin Xiaoxiao changed the subject, a mysterious and slightly lewd smile on her face.
Chu Wuyan's body tensed. "What former boss?"
"Han Xiu, huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, a hint of malice in her eyes. "Still pretending with me, Yang Huaizhou, Young Master Yang~"
I had long anticipated that my identity would be exposed one day, but I never expected it would be because of Zhou Mingxuan.
Under Lin Xiaoxiao's teasing gaze, Chu Wuyan nodded listlessly, "Okay, I admit it, I am Yang Huaizhou."
"I felt you were acting suspiciously on the cruise ship back home, and I was right," Lin Xiaoxiao said, shaking her head smugly.
Who can be as perceptive as her? She has an uncanny eye for detail.
Chu Wuyan nodded sheepishly, "Yes, yes, you're amazing."
"So, what's your relationship with Yang Jinglu, the president of the Chinese American Council in the US?" Lin Xiaoxiao propped her head up, her big, round eyes blinking curiously.
Chu Wuyan answered truthfully, "My uncle."
"Your biological father?"
“My own brother, my mom’s own brother.”
"Wow, that's amazing!" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up like light bulbs. "Your family is powerful enough, but your uncle is also so amazing."
The Yang family of Country M is no ordinary family. In later generations, they even produced a governor of a local state. They are a truly prestigious family in the business and political world, with an impressive lineage and immeasurable strength.
Chu Wuyan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "It's alright. In my family, only my grandfather, my father, and my second uncle are a bit powerful. My uncle's family is also alright."
Lin Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue, "Look at your Versailles-like face, I just want to punch you."
"What?" Chu Wuyan reflexively assumed a defensive stance, his face full of vigilance.
He genuinely believed that Lin Xiaoxiao was going to hit him.
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Alright, let's wrap this up."
Chu Wuyan chuckled twice and asked curiously, "What does Versailles mean?"
"I mean you're showing off." Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently and took a sip of tea without moving an inch.
Chu Wuyan: "..."
She paused for a moment, then laughed, "You can even make showing off sound so sophisticated, Lin Daiyu, you're really something."
She added, "But I don't have a Versailles. Apart from my elders, oh right, my eldest brother, we're all pretty ordinary."
His innocent tone made Lin Xiaoxiao unable to stop laughing.
Whether it's ordinary or not depends on your understanding of the word.
Not only were they rich, but they also had status and power. In later generations, they would definitely be considered the most outstanding children of high-ranking officials.
"Sister Lin, didn't you say you were talking about Boss Han's gossip? What gossip?" Chu Wuyan asked eagerly.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him, feigning profundity, "It's the rule of the martial arts world: if you want to hear gossip, you have to exchange it with your own."
When did such a rule appear in the martial arts world?
No, wait, that's not right.
Chu Wuyan's eyes were filled with resentment. "Sister Lin, you've been reading too many martial arts novels."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, "Then let me put it another way? Social norms?"
Do you really have to talk about your own gossip?
There's no need for that.
"You have to pay for gossip, right? Whether it's your gossip or someone else's, as long as it's eye-catching, it counts." Lin Xiaoxiao felt that gossip was boring without first hearing the gossip.
