Finally, Jiu Jue lost his patience and looked at Ji Yueyao standing in front of him with a hint of impatience in his eyes. "Ji Yueyao, what exactly do you want?"
"Captain Mu, I heard you have a girlfriend named Xiao Yaru?" Ji Yueyao suddenly curled her lips and smiled slightly. "Could you tell me where she is now?"
"Xiao Yaru? Why are you asking about her?" Mu Liu seemed to have thought of something bad, and frowned with some disgust.
Ji Yueyao leaned casually against the wall. "She's actually my former roommate. I need to talk to her about something."
Mu Liu seemed too lazy to even think about it, and waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to say anything more. "I broke up with her, and now I don't know where she is."
"Is that so?" Ji Yueyao looked somewhat disappointed.
"Ji Yueyao, is this the only question you asked us?" Zhong Jue frowned as he looked at Ji Yueyao's disappointed expression. "If we have other things to do after we finish asking, we'll take our leave first."
"Okay." Ji Yueyao nodded, gritting her teeth to hide the growing killing intent in her heart, and stepped back to let them pass.
Zhong Jue and Mu Liu left without looking back. Ji Yueyao stood motionless at the entrance of the building, and it was almost impossible to see the expression on her face in the backlight.
What could she do at that moment?
"Yueyao?" Kaqi patted Ji Yueyao on the shoulder from behind. She couldn't find Ji Yueyao in the blink of an eye after the meeting, and she didn't expect her to be standing in the corridor. "Shall we go back together?"
"Hmm..." Ji Yueyao nodded absentmindedly, "Where are Lin Xuan and the others?"
"They haven't come out yet. It seems like something else is going on. Should we wait for them?" Kachi looked back at the empty corridor and asked.
"No, thank you." Ji Yueyao shook her head dismissively and started walking forward. "Let's go back first."
Kaqi noticed that Ji Yueyao's mood was off, so she quickened her pace and blocked Ji Yueyao's path. "Yueyao, what's wrong?"
Looking at Kaqi's worried expression, Ji Yueyao suddenly felt a sense of unwillingness welling up from the bottom of her heart. She raised her hand and grabbed Kaqi in front of her.
"Yueyao?" Kaqi was stunned.
"I'm not reconciled... Kachi, it's clear that Sister Qiao's death wasn't an accident, but I can't do anything, I can't do anything!" Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth, trying hard to hold back the tears that kept welling up in her eyes.
"Sister Qiao's death wasn't an accident?" Kaqi frowned. "Yueyao, you can't just say things like that. What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence... I don't have any... Oh right, Kaqi!" Ji Yueyao suddenly raised her head, "Kaki, weren't you originally from the logistics department? You should know about Xiao Yaru's situation, right? Do you know Xiao Yaru's whereabouts now?"
“I’ve stopped paying attention to her.” Kachi shook her head and patted Ji Yueyao on the back. “But if you want to know, I’ll go find her now.”
"I'm counting on you!" Ji Yueyao nodded heavily.
Seeing that Ji Yueyao had recovered a lot, Kaqi finally asked the question that had been bothering her, "You suspect that Sister Qiao's death is related to Xiao Yaru? But that's not very likely. She didn't hold back at all when she killed Wu Qianqian."
Ji Yueyao released Kaqi, glanced down at the lower steps, and quickly walked down. "I'm not entirely sure either, but if she's not the mastermind, she's at least someone who knows the inside story."
"Really?" Kachi nodded to indicate that she understood. "I'll go find it for you right now."
The two chatted as they walked downstairs, completely unaware that an iron gate next to the stairs was slightly ajar.
Zhong Jue narrowed his long, thin eyes, his somewhat cloudy pupils overflowing with a chilling killing intent.
Very well, Ji Yueyao, you've asked for it.
He opened the door and walked out nonchalantly, turning his head to stare coldly at Ji Yueyao's receding figure through the transparent window. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his lips. It seemed that the second plan had to be accelerated.
Kachi was very efficient; she found out Xiao Yaru's whereabouts that very evening.
“She’s working at a bar in the east now,” Kachi told Ji Yueyao as soon as she got back to her place that evening. Ji Yueyao then quickly gathered the members of their tenth squad in the living room.
They are currently living in a small villa in the western district, where almost the entire tenth squad resides. Xu Lingnan, Yao Lin, and Lin Xuan live on the second floor, while Ji Yueyao and Kaqi live on the first floor. Originally, Ji Yueyao planned to have Xu Yajun move in with them, but there seemed to be strict regulations prohibiting non-search department personnel from staying in this place, so Ji Yueyao had no choice but to abandon this plan.
However, Ji Yueyao later regretted her decision and stopped following those messy rules.
Yu Tianfang seems to have his own place to live, so he doesn't live with them. If Ji Yueyao and the others need anything, they can just tell the messenger in the search department, and Yu Tianfang will receive the message immediately.
“The bar in the east?” Ji Yueyao thought for a moment. “I remember you said that Xiao Yaru’s bar was in the south.”
“Bar doesn’t refer to a specific bar,” Lin Xuan interjected. “Bar is a general term for bars. In fact, bars exist in all major powers around the world; the only difference is the number of them.”
"That's amazing! The person who opened this bar must have made a fortune. Is he still alive and well?" No organization would want another organization to infiltrate their ranks, especially one as outrageous as this.
“That won’t happen.” Lin Xuan shrugged. “We still can’t determine who the bar’s manager is, but we all know that he always has access to all kinds of alcohol, so only he can open this bar.”
"Ahem, we've gone off-topic." Kaqi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "By the way, Yueyao, why don't you go see Xiao Yaru tomorrow? I have something to do."
"What's wrong?" Ji Yueyao was taken aback. She thought Kaqi would go with her.
Kaqi looked at Ji Yueyao and sighed slightly. Even now, Ji Yueyao still hasn't fully learned to be independent and still doesn't understand the true meaning of strength.
That's true. She had the help of the military region during the last mission, and they usually do their best to help her, but if things continue like this...
Kachi closed her eyes briefly to clear her mind before saying what she wanted to say, "I haven't been able to contact Xu Yajun since we moved out. I went to look for her yesterday but still couldn't find her."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingnan's face suddenly stiffened.
Although Xu Lingnan's expression froze for only a moment, Kaqi still noticed it keenly. "By the way, Xu Lingnan, you're Xu Yajun's brother, you should know something, right?"
"I don't know my sister very well... We don't have a good relationship and we don't usually talk to each other." Xu Lingnan smiled awkwardly, his slightly long bangs obscuring his vision and his emotions.
