Chapter 39
"Hey, Virginia, it's interesting what you said." Meng Xun was amused by the suspicion that was directly expressed in his face.
"I have a mission to accomplish, so stop speculating."
"Task?"
Virginia curled her lips, then returned to her cold expression after a moment of sarcasm: "Whose mission?"
"Of course it's the job of our dear manager," Meng Xun sighed to the sky, covering his face with his hands. "You make me so sad, Virginia. We've been colleagues for so long, and you just come up and grab me and won't let go."
Meng Xun put his hand down, his expression finally cold, no longer friendly to Virginia: "If you have the time, why don't you go to the manager and ask him what your next task is."
"Does it take a fool to remind me?" Virginia sneered.
Meng Xun shrugged and spread his hands. "Forget it, just leave me alone. Or... our newly appointed Grand Marshal, the newly promoted General, wants to assign a mission to a mere Lieutenant General?"
As he spoke, Meng Xun brought his right thumb and index finger very close together, almost pinching them together, and made a "small" gesture.
"Then I might as well find a dog and play catch."
Virginia said sarcastically, "It's useless to ask you to kneel down and don't reveal your secrets."
"I will really kill you."
Buzz——
Meng Xun's brain vibrated. He glanced at her, not caring about Virginia's threats at all. He turned around and said, "I'm going to work. See you again."
A group of people followed Meng Xun and left in a mighty manner. Those who didn't know would think that it was some popular young star who was on tour and had hired a group of bodyguards.
Virginia stared at Meng Xun's back with a wooden face as he left.
Until the man's back completely disappeared, Virginia opened a list of suspicious people she had drawn up herself and put Meng Xun's name at the top of the list.
"What are you going to do now?" Lila asked.
Meng Xun looked puzzled: "I'm going to work, didn't I tell you?"
"Whose job? Jan Wallen?"
"Next time, can you try to test me with someone else? Do you have any brains, buddy?" Meng Xun stood still and turned to face Lila.
He just felt that Mulin was insulting him by sending such a person to stare at him: "Of course the lady is looking for me."
"you!"
Meng Xun didn't care about Lila's jumping up and down at all. He suddenly laughed and said, "Shall we make another bet?"
"Last time you bet you could be a marshal, but you can't even snatch the men under Zavik's command. How can you be a marshal?"
Lila didn't take Meng Xun's bet seriously at all: "Even if you become a marshal, can you win against Virginia head-on? Huh? Can you?"
"It's not a problem," Meng Xun waved his hand casually. "How about I bet that the lady will arrange for me to go on field work?"
"as well as……"
Meng Xun stretched out his voice and found that Lila was just staring at him with dead eyes, and instantly lost interest in teasing him.
He shrugged again and gave a direct answer: "The person you just mentioned is about to step down~"
"Heh." Lila rolled her eyes, obviously not believing it.

Twenty minutes later, in Mullin's office on the 20th floor of the Capital Building.
"Lin Kirk, died gloriously."
Mu Lin slowly stood up behind a virtual screen, walked through the virtual screen, and walked towards Meng Xun who was standing in front of him.
She was not as tall as Meng Xun, half a head shorter, but she had an imposing aura.
Mu Lin's face was covered with traces of time, and only his clouded eyes revealed the ruthlessness of the undefeated years.
"What do you think about this, Meng Xun?"
Mu Lin and Meng Xun kept a distance of one and a half meters, which was enough for her to look into Meng Xun's eyes without looking up.
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
Meng Xun put away his playful smile and looked extremely serious.
"Really?" Mu Lin chuckled and turned to walk towards the virtual screen.
"Lin Kirk, vital signs critical, signal lost."
"I believe you know what mission I asked her to perform."
Meng Xun looked at the virtual screen, which recorded all of Lin's physiological characteristics before her signal was lost. The time was close to the time when Dan sent him the message.
"I don't understand what you mean, ma'am," Meng Xun said, his eyes calm, showing no sign of any emotional aberration. "I've been carrying out your mission all this time, investigating the movements of suspicious individuals, and I've reported the relevant evidence."
Bang!
Meng Xun's face was slapped to the left.
The skin inside his mouth slammed violently against his teeth.
There must have been a wound from the collision, and the smell of blood filled Meng Xun's mouth.
He licked the inside of his mouth with his tongue without leaving any trace.
It hurts so much.
Harm, it doesn’t matter.
After all, Mullin wouldn't kill him now.
"You know what you did." Mu Lin said coldly.
"X-176 Star, Highest Level Wanted, Execute Yun Piancheng on the Spot, and Bring Her Body Back to Me."
"If I can't bring it back..."
Mullin didn't continue.
"Yes, ma'am."
A clear palm print appeared on Meng Xun's face, but his expression did not change at all. There was no hatred, anger, panic, or guilt in his eyes.
Mu Lin didn't have the patience to continue talking to him and closed the virtual screen: "You can leave now. The personnel and weapons have been deployed."
"Once you've avoided Virginia's limelight for the past few days, you'll set off immediately. I'll only give you two days."
Meng Xun nodded seriously: "Yes."
He turned and left the office. Lila and the others were not waiting in the corridor. With their authority, they could only wait in the lobby on the first floor.
Meng Xun walked slowly, feeling a little funny.
If they didn't need an orthodox lieutenant general as a tool to use public opinion to fight for power, Mulin would not have kept him until now.
He wants to be respectable, but also wants to use dirty tricks to dismantle and weaken the alliance to gain power.
Never mind, it doesn’t affect him anyway.
As if it had calculated the time perfectly, the optical computer shielding system automatically turned on and a communication was immediately connected.
Meng swept the inspection route and selected a place where few people came. The images in the surveillance camera were replaced by the shielding system.
He connected the communication.
"Xiao Mengxun, how is it going over there?" Zuo Shi's virtual image appeared on the light brain, and his voice came lazily.
"Everything went well." Meng Xun said concisely.
"Oh, you're injured, and Mu Lin is still in this temper." Zuo Shi stared at Meng Xun's image carefully, sighing helplessly and pretending to be distressed.
"It's okay." Meng Xun smiled.
Zuo Shi nodded. "After the last meeting, Zavik was anxious to clean up the people involved in the ambush of Yun Guangyuan and Cheng Yao. I took advantage of the situation and slipped in a few small clues for Mu Lin to find, so she would misunderstand and treat him as a mole."
"Now his military power is in my hands, and I have dealt with those who are more competitive and can squeeze you out."
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo Shi."
"Okay, okay~" Zuo Shi smiled.
Meng Xun smiled sincerely, "It's a pleasure to work with you, sir."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Xiao Mengxun~"
When the communication is terminated, the record is automatically cleared and the shielding is turned off.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Meng Xun turned his head, looked at the deliberately protected environment, and gazed at the eternal blue sky.
A world that belongs to me.
Ouch, it still hurts.
Meng Xun gently touched his face with his hand, thinking about finding an opportunity to retaliate later.

Ji Huai stayed in the room alone and sulked. He couldn't figure it out.
Buzz——
The light brain vibrates.
Ji Huai opened it immediately, but found that it was not Yun Piancheng's message of peace.
He lowered his eyes, feeling very bad.
【Nanyang】：How's it going? Are you done kissing?
Ji Huai felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry again.
[Ji Huai]: We kissed, and then we broke up...
【Nanyang】：?
【Nanyang】：???
Nanyang: No? Huh? Why? This shouldn't be the case.
[Nanyang]: Didn’t you act like a spoiled child or something? You just coaxed her!
Acting like a spoiled child...
Ji Huai recalled what happened in the middle of the night. Oh, before he had the chance to play the victim, he was kicked out.
Even when she cried in front of Yun Piancheng today, she received no comfort.
[Ji Huai]: She doesn't like me anymore. She doesn't want to see me act like a spoiled child and crying is useless.
[Ji Huai]: I don’t want to coax her anymore… I’m so sad, and she’s still mean to me.
Nanyang suddenly sat up from the bed, with a serious look on his face, typing away.
[Nanyang]: Are you sure she was angry because you kissed her?
【Nanyang】: Or I can ask it in a different way
[Nanyang]: Are you sure she is angry?
Ji Huai was not sure, because he did not feel angry at all, only confused and irritated.
Ji Huai: I don’t know…
Nanyang placed his right index finger and thumb on his chin and rubbed it hard.
She was thinking with all her knowledge about CP, her experience as a strategist helping her friends pursue their partners, and her experience dealing with Leah's love-sickness.
[Nanyang]: Come out tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. I'll send you the location. Let's have a small meeting. I'll think of a solution.
Ji Huai knew that Nanyang was not a reliable guy, but there was no other way at the moment.
Although he said that he didn't want to like Yun Piancheng, he still didn't want to keep such a distance from Yun Piancheng.
At least...at least let the relationship return to what it was before.
[Ji Huai]: Okay.
After making an appointment with Nanyang, Ji Huai suddenly felt at ease, perhaps because he was not alone in this emotional battle.
After calming down, Ji Huai opened the door and went out, just in time to run into Yun Piancheng who was putting on a windbreaker and preparing to go downstairs to meet Kofi.
Yun Piancheng glanced at Ji Huai and subconsciously turned his head to look at him.
But he forced himself to stop the impulse and continued walking towards the stairs.
"Yunyun."
Ji Huai called out to Yun Piancheng.
Not Cheng Yun.
Yun Piancheng noticed the change in address and was unsure what Ji Huai's attitude was now.
Although she had no time to think about this question and was in a hurry to do something, she still stopped.
"I'm going out tomorrow afternoon to see Nanyang," said Ji Huai.
He looked at Yun Piancheng's back - slender, upright, and resolute - but he was unwilling to turn around and look at him.
With a sour feeling in his heart, Ji Huai heard the person in front of him say, "I understand."
"Xiao Huai, you are free to move around, you don't need to report to me."
What's the meaning?
Ji Huai stood there in a daze.
Does Yun Piancheng mean that he is annoying and he doesn’t want to bother with him anymore?
So, he's not really important, right?
Tears began to flow again, and suppressed sobs escaped from her throat, caught by Yun Piancheng who was striding away.
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Piancheng walked towards the entrance without stopping, personally checked the identity of the visitor, and opened the door for Kofi.
As soon as the door opened, Kofi was overwhelmed by the bloody smell in the room. He lowered his head...
Wow~ There is also a half-dead person.
Look at Yun Piancheng again.
Coffey: "Why do you look so grumpy, sister? Killing someone wouldn't make you look like this, would it?"
"You are not... having relationship problems."
Yun Piancheng:.
Yun Piancheng: "Let's talk business."
