She seemed to pause for a moment when she saw Qi Jiu, then a somewhat forced smile appeared on her lips.
It sounded like a consolation, or maybe... self-deprecation? In any case, the expression on his face wasn't pleasant.
Seeing this, the girl sighed and descended the steps one by one. "You're only two points short. You'll win next time. Don't be discouraged."
It's normal to have wins and losses; who can guarantee they'll always win?
In fact, the flaws in the rules and regulations of this points-based competition become increasingly apparent as the competition progresses. Teams with more points will only increase in number, while teams with fewer points will only decrease in number.
Yu Qi nodded, and you could tell from her expression that she wasn't in a good mood. "Am I the first person on our team to lose a game?"
The people around her didn't speak, only Qi Jiu nodded, but her face was still full of smiles.
"You can't win all the time in life, especially when you're facing elites from all over the world."
Losing a game might make them subconsciously feel like they've dragged the country down, but that's not actually the case. This is the way to maximize their score.
Currently, this is the best solution.
In fact, if Yu Qi had faced a few more questions than her opponent, the outcome might have been different.
Yu Qi nodded, a relaxed smile appearing on her face.
"Buzz!"
Qi Jiu subconsciously looked down at the number on her phone screen and walked straight to the side.
"Is it done?"
"Yes, it's done." Wu Mei's expression was somewhat helpless. She glanced at the person next to her, sighed, and her tone was somewhat disdainful.
"But this task wasn't just completed by me."
The girl was taken aback. "What do you mean? Interpol?"
She asked Xu Feng to stay in the first place precisely to do this, so the term "others" shouldn't be applied to him. Could it be that there are other people involved?
Wu Mei pursed her lips. "It wasn't just Interpol. A second before the mission, I saw Chong Yu, with someone behind him. I didn't recognize him, but I think his name was Liu Guang?"
Upon hearing those two names, Qi Jiu paused, then pursed her lips. "I understand, you two are together now?"
"Yes, with their help, this mission has been successfully completed. They're right next to me now, trying to eavesdrop on our conversation, but I glared at them and shut them up."
Qi Jiu: "..." Okay, it's confirmed, it's Chong Yu's personality.
Chongyu: "..."
“Tell him to come to Erling University. I’ll wait for him here.” With that, the girl hung up the phone.
He glanced at the table and chairs beside him, his eyes darting back and forth, as if he were deep in thought.
But what she really wanted to know was what Chong Yu was doing here? How did he know what she wanted to do? Chong Yu was here, so... where was Qi Silin?
It seems I have a lot of questions accumulating in my mind, but I'll probably have to wait until I see Chongyu to find out.
Thinking about it, she opened the file that had just been sent to her phone and quickly browsed through its contents. Scrolling down, she could also see photos.
The scene in the photo is terrifying; no one would expect such a picture to appear on a little girl's phone.
"Another one ruined. Who in Zero came up with this kind of brainless act?"
At this moment, on an island.
An elderly man in a suit and vest stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside, his brow furrowed.
"Achoo!"
Upon seeing this, the bodyguard instinctively reached for a blanket, but was stopped by the old man as soon as he moved.
"No need, I'm not that fragile."
Suddenly, he turned to his subordinate who had been in the room the whole time. "What's the result from the US? Why is there still no news? Are they all dead?"
Fortunately, he had a backup plan when he was sent to the United States, otherwise he would have been furious by now.
When this matter was suddenly brought up, the subordinate paused, watching the movement of his fingers, a look of panic flashing across his face.
However, this slight movement did not escape the old man's eyes, and a bad premonition instantly rose in his heart.
I'm asking you a question!
The subordinate pursed his lips, and finally knelt down on one knee before the old man.
"Master, news has come from the US. It was a failure. Those people are indeed... dead." His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, until it was barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito.
Even so, the old man still heard it clearly.
The old man: "..."
At this moment, his chest was heaving dramatically, and the expression on his face was visibly changing!
"They're all useless! Wasn't that hacker a new hire? He could break into Erlin University's information network, but he can't even handle an heir? He's just a businessman reeking of money!"
His status as a designer was nothing to fear!
The atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point. Everyone inside dared not even breathe and could only lower their heads and wait.
As time passed, the old man's emotions finally calmed down. Looking at the few people in the room with their heads down, he suddenly lowered his eyes and began to ponder.
These repeated failures suggest the problem lies with him, but the fact that it always happens makes him wonder if he underestimated his successor. This successor is far more than just a businessman…
Highly skilled... knows the local bigwigs in the arms industry...
Everything seems a bit off, but there are no loopholes to be found at the moment.
Thinking about it, he immediately looked up at his subordinate beside him.
"Go, investigate that heir's identity again, and investigate thoroughly! Forget about any irrelevant identities, I just want to know what other abilities she has!"
Was it because he underestimated his opponent?
What skills does this girl, around twenty years old, possess?
"yes."
The subordinate beside him responded and then turned and left the room.
At Erling University, the girl casually made up an excuse to go out. Looking at the people coming and going at the entrance of Erling University, she pursed her lips and turned to walk towards the coffee shop next door.
As soon as I walked in, I instinctively went to a seat by the window. As soon as I sat down, there was another person in front of me.
The person intuitively, even skillfully, began ordering coffee.
She looked at the rather familiar face, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "What are you doing here?"
The little girl's voice was languid, which made Chongyu on the other side chuckle.
"I had some missions around here. Then I heard from you that you happened to be in the US, so I asked you for the information. I just got here and ran into your men, who helped you out. Aren't you happy?"
