"Little darling?" It was Lin De's rather tired voice on the other end of the phone. He looked as if he had just finished something and was completely exhausted.
The girl hummed in agreement and got straight to the point. "Have there been any arms deals lately?"
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end was taken aback at first, then looked puzzled. "Recently? There are so many orders. What's wrong? Let me check for you."
"Check these two batch numbers for me: 0 for interference with positioning systems, and there's one more going on next."
Linde across from her said "Wait a moment," and then the sound of him rummaging through drawers could be heard. Seeing this, the girl stopped standing and sat down directly under the big tree.
Seeing this, the wolf beside her, just like before, sat down directly in front of her, presenting her with its incredibly soft fur. It seemed to be saying silently: Touch me, touch me.
After a short while, when all sound ceased, Qi Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly. "Found it?"
“Hmm…” Lin De’s voice was hesitant. “Qiqi, I didn’t sell these things.”
Hearing this, the girl was stunned. "What?!"
The hand that was stroking the wolf's head stopped. Seeing this, the wolf turned its head back in confusion, looking at Qi Jiu's furrowed brows, and instinctively dared not move. Unconsciously, its entire wolf body tensed up.
Linde, on the other side, also felt a bit troubled at this point. "Qiqi, this batch of goods seems to be..."
"Your brother."
Since Linde didn't sell it, it can only be him. If that's the case, things are really getting complicated. It's not that Linde is difficult to get along with, but...
"Want me to ask for you?" Lin De asked cautiously on the other end of the line. Although he had mustered up the courage to say it, there was still a hint of timidity in his voice.
"No need. With your cowardly nature, your legs would go weak just looking at him."
Linde: "..." Even so, could you please not say it so directly? Don't you have any pride?
After hanging up the phone, Qi Jiu didn't get up immediately. Her fair hands unconsciously stroked the wolf's back. The fur was so soft and nice.
"Awoo?"
"It's nothing. Aren't you going to eat jerky? Why did you run out?" Only now did the girl remember that she seemed to have seen this guy eating jerky earlier.
"Awoo!"
"Walk."
After bringing the wolf back into the tent, Qi Silin approached, looking down at the wolf with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. "You little brat, does my girlfriend smell that good? You even forgot your jerky? You went straight for my girlfriend when you saw her?"
"Awoo!"
"Keep yelling! Do you believe I'll tie your mouth shut?"
Qi Jiu: "..."
Seeing the two, a man and a wolf, talking back and forth, the little girl decided not to interrupt and took the instrument in her hand to sit down on the chair next to her.
After a long while, Tarlin came in with the documents, and was taken aback when he saw Qi Silin and Wolf. He then quietly moved closer to Qi Jiu.
What are you doing?
What are this man and wolf doing? It's a bit...
The girl didn't even look up. "They're arguing."
Tallinn: "..."
They got into an argument with wolves? They can argue even though they don't speak the same language? No wonder he's the master of Death Gate Island; he excels in every aspect.
He shook his head and walked straight towards Qi Jiu. "Everyone's here, shall we go back?"
"Walk."
Along the way, Qi Silin and the wolf were clearly no longer speaking. The man put his arm around the girl's waist and walked slowly forward, while on the other side, the wolf was walking step by step close to the girl's legs.
Talin and Li Hao, who had witnessed everything: "..."
So, are this human and wolf vying for favor? No, are they starting to compete for favor across species now?
Today, the news that all members remained in the knockout stage spread instantly throughout every corner of the organization.
Some were amazed by the trainees' abilities this year, while others said that Commander Number Seven had gone easy on them; in short, there were all sorts of rumors. But only they themselves probably knew that this elimination round was actually not easy at all.
The back mountain of an international assassin organization.
The girl looked at the sun, which was already halfway up the mountain, and let her long hair be ruffled by the wind.
Looking at the contact on her phone, she tapped to dial. The call was answered after only one ring, and before she could speak, the person on the other end spoke first.
"Qiqi?"
The man's voice was deep and slightly magnetic, and one could faintly hear his joy in his tone.
This man is Lin De's older brother, Lin Wu.
He seemed surprised that Qi Jiu would call him.
If Lin De is an arms dealer, then Lin Wu is the local bigwig in the arms industry. In the arms trade, Lin De has a strong talent and business acumen, but Lin Wu is even stronger.
The two brothers directly controlled half of the arms market.
Actually, she knew Lin Wu before she met Lin De, but some things happened later that made her relationship with Lin De better and better.
"Yes, it's me."
The girl's voice was cold and clear, but the person opposite her didn't think so. "But what happened? If you've encountered any hardship, just tell me."
Lin Wu's voice was still very deep, but those who knew him well knew that he was in a good mood now.
Qi Jiu got straight to the point and stated her requirements. Lin Wu on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, and then the sound of turning pages of a book could be heard.
Soon, he seemed to hesitate, and spoke with some uncertainty.
"Qiqi, the customer you mentioned who bought the interference positioning system is no longer alive."
Qi Jiu was stunned. "What? What did you say?"
He had imagined countless possibilities, but never this. Dead? So suddenly?
She had participated in the design of many of Linde's weapons, and even personally handled many of them, so she understood that the serial number on this jamming positioning system was new, and that the system had just been developed.
In other words, that interference positioning system was a relatively new product, and even if it was sold, it was only recently. The fact that the customer bought it so quickly...
Lin Wu sighed helplessly on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, you heard right. The customer who made the purchase is dead. He died suddenly less than a week after we delivered the goods. We don't know if it was an accident or natural death, but these things have nothing to do with us."
As he spoke, he seemed to realize something, "Why did Qiqi ask about this number?"
The girl pursed her lips, sat on the small hilltop gazing into the distance, feeling the cool breeze, and squinted her eyes.
"Because today, I saw this jamming system in the hands of the enemy."
"...Wh-what?"
On another continent, inside a magnificent building, a handsome man in a suit and vest suddenly stood up from the sofa. Although his forehead was a little messy, it still couldn't hide his good looks.
