"Stop it, all of you." A man dressed casually strode down the stairs from the second floor. "Who's causing trouble here?"
As soon as the man came down, the waiter rushed over obsequiously, "Manager Wu, this is the woman causing trouble here."
The man looked at Ji Yueyao standing in front of him, his eyes narrowing. Isn't this... Ji Yueyao, the former captain of the 10th squad of the search department? Isn't she developing her career at the Nanxiao base now? How come she can still cause trouble here?
Before he could even speak, Ji Yueyao had already stepped forward and placed the black card in his hand.
The man trembled slightly the moment he touched the card. The feeling this card gave him... He quickly stuffed the card back into Ji Yueyao's hand. The man's attitude changed drastically. He took a step back and bowed, saying, "Please follow me."
The people on the first floor stared wide-eyed at Ji Yueyao, who calmly walked upstairs, their hearts filled with complex emotions. Who exactly was this woman, that she could make the bar manager bow and scrape to her?!
"My name is Wu Chuan. I apologize for what happened earlier." After leading Ji Yueyao to the office, the man turned around and saluted her, saying, "May I ask why you have an adult's identification?"
Whoever holds this identity card represents Mu Yanxuan's existence, so how could Wu Chuan not be surprised that such a thing would be in the possession of a girl who looks only eighteen or nineteen years old?
"He gave it to me." Although somewhat surprised by Wu Chuan's sudden change in attitude, Ji Yueyao understood when she thought about the loyalty of everyone around Mu Yanxuan. Casually sitting on the sofa in the room, she propped her head up and looked at Wu Chuan, saying, "Help me investigate someone."
"Please speak," Wu Chuan said respectfully.
"Wei Kang".
Wu Chuan thought for a moment, "Wei Kang, the one who participated in the rookie competition in the training area with you?"
Ji Yueyao nodded, lowered her eyes, and said, "It's him. I need to know where he is now."
"I will find it for you as quickly as possible," Wu Chuan replied, then turned and quickly walked outside.
A few minutes later, he finished assigning the tasks and returned to Ji Yueyao's room, pouring her a cup of tea. "We'll have the results in about fifteen minutes."
Ji Yueyao nodded, lowered her head, and casually picked up a book that was lying on the sofa. Then the room became eerily quiet.
Wu Chuan swallowed hard, feeling somewhat at a loss in front of such a young girl.
"Aren't you tired of standing?" Ji Yueyao looked up. "Sit down, I feel tired just looking at you."
"No need... I can stand." Wu Chuan quickly refused. He dared not sit on equal footing with Ji Yueyao, who had Mu Yanxuan's identity card; that would shorten his lifespan.
“But I don’t like looking up to others,” Ji Yueyao said helplessly.
Wu Chuan was taken aback. After stealing a glance at Ji Yueyao, he stopped refusing and quickly sat down opposite her.
Ji Yueyao put the book aside and looked at the somewhat restrained Wu Chuan, asking, "How did you know from that card that it belonged to Mu Yanxuan?"
She actually addressed the adults by their first names!
Wu Chuan looked at Ji Yueyao, filled with curiosity about the former captain of the tenth squad. "If you use your superpower a little while holding that card, you will feel the character 'Mu'. And the only one with the character 'Mu' is you, sir."
Ji Yueyao nodded and took out the identity card to play with it.
Seeing Ji Yueyao's calm demeanor, Wu Chuan no longer felt too restrained. "Um... sir, you..."
When Ji Yueyao heard the word "sir," the first person she thought of was Mu Yanxuan, but it was clear that Wu Chuan was calling her, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange. "Just call me Ji Yueyao. I'm not your sir now."
"..." How could he possibly say that?! Wu Chuan's troubled thoughts were written all over his face. Ji Yueyao shook her head helplessly when she saw that he couldn't even speak. "Alright, call me whatever you want."
Wu Chuan was delighted, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge as he looked at Ji Yueyao. "Sir, your information only started from the Xiyu Base. What kind of person were you before that?"
"Asking such a difficult question right off the bat..." Ji Yueyao glanced helplessly at Wu Chuan, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's just a very ordinary life."
"An ordinary life?" Wu Chuan pondered. "Taking on missions every day... like that?"
Ji Yueyao was stumped by the question. She then realized that ordinary life in this place seemed to consist of working day and night, just for a meager living allowance.
"More or less," she mumbled, changing the subject as she went. "By the way, what does my file look like in your bar's database? You don't seem surprised at all to see me. My file at the West Yu base must be dead by now, right?"
“That’s right, but our information is shared among the various factions’ bars, so we are fully aware of your development in the Nanxiao base.”
"Do the people at the Xiyu base also know?" Ji Yueyao frowned. If they also knew everything, it would be troublesome.
“The Xiyu Base should know your name, but whether it’s the same person can only be confirmed after meeting you.” Wu Chuan thought for a moment and then said, “After all, you are now considered the new master of the Nanxiao Base. The Xiyu Base should know something about such a big change, but they just don’t know that the one who caused all this change is you, the squad leader of the 10th squad of the search department.”
“Is that so…” Ji Yueyao nodded. “By the way, you haven’t told me what my information looks like here.”
Just as Wu Chuan was about to answer, there was a knock on the door, and then a waiter strode in with a document. "We've found Wei Kang's whereabouts. He's currently residing in the training area."
"The training area?" Ji Yueyao stood up and continued to ask, "Where is the training area?"
"Ji Tiehan's residence." The waiter had barely finished speaking when Ji Yueyao dashed out like the wind, so fast that Wu Chuan and the others didn't even have time to react.
Looking at the steaming tea on the table, Wu Chuan slightly focused. Ji Yueyao joined the Xiyu Base in the 113th year of the End of the Year, at the age of eighteen. Prior to this, all her information was blank. In October of the 113th year, the Xiyu Base announced her death during a mission, but she was actually developing her career at the Nanxiao Base. In December of the 113th year, she played a crucial role in the riot at the Nanxiao Base and was exceptionally promoted to Second Seat. Originally a weak-type physique, she later transformed into a medium-type physique for unknown reasons. Her current ability is to shred enemies and hide their corpses; its attribute is unknown.
Ji Yueyao, a person with a weak constitution, has managed to establish himself in this world in just half a year. He is indeed not to be underestimated.
As expected, she is the adult's person... Wu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the clear statement on the information that she had a close relationship with the military region commander, Mu Yanxuan. If it was her, although she didn't have much of a qualification now, she would probably be the only one who could stand by the adult's side in the future.
At that moment, Xu Lingnan stood blankly at the bar entrance, his pale face filled with terror. (To be continued.)
