"Sister Ji, when are you coming back?" Qiao Xiong asked, his words slurred as he ate the nutritious meal provided by the medical department.
After a moment of silence, Ji Yueyao patted Qiao Xiong's head and said, "You'll understand when you grow up."
"Oh." Qiao Xiong shook his head. Sister Ji always liked to say profound things. She clearly said she would be back in ten days.
"How are you feeling today?" Ji Yueyao asked, looking at Qiao Xiong shaking his head. She then placed the plate that Qiao Xiong had finished eating on the table next to her.
Qiao Xiong stood up abruptly, jumped up and down on the bed a couple of times, and said in a soft but strong voice, "Sister Ji, I'm in great health now, and I can also become a person with a central constitution like you!"
"Well, then you have to work hard." Ji Yueyao looked at Qiao Xiong's energetic appearance, but her eyes became somewhat complicated. Now Qiao Xiong's health is gradually showing signs of improvement, but if one day he finds out that Qiao Ying has already... Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes with a bitter expression.
Originally, Qiao Ying's family was responsible for paying Qiao Xiong's medical points after Qiao Ying's death. However, just a few days ago, Ji Yueyao learned that Qiao Ying's only family member was her younger brother, and that her entire team had been wiped out... Suddenly, no one was paying for Qiao Xiong's medical points.
Yesterday, when she arrived at the medical department, it happened to be the day Qiao Xiong's medical points expired. Those nurses who were completely profit-driven were preparing to send Qiao Xiong out of the medical department. Ji Yueyao happened to have enough points on hand, and although she hesitated for a moment, she still paid for Qiao Xiong's points as well.
The points Ji Yueyao earned from this mission were more than enough to cover Wei Kang's medical expenses, but now she also has to cover Qiao Xiong's. This means she might have to take on some smaller missions to earn more points.
With a soft sigh, Ji Yueyao realized she truly couldn't abandon Qiao Xiong.
"I'm going to see my friend first. Be good by yourself, okay?" Ji Yueyao patiently coaxed Qiao Xiong. Hearing this, Qiao Xiong sat on the pillow behind him and blinked his big eyes at Ji Yueyao. "Sister Ji, are you going to see your boyfriend?"
"......" Ji Yueyao, who had been forgiven, must have been completely dumbfounded.
Qiao Xiong nodded as if he knew everything, "I heard from my sister that Sister Ji's boyfriend, Brother Wei, is also in the medical ward because of his injury."
"..." Ji Yueyao sighed, "Wei... Brother Wei is not my boyfriend, he's just my good friend."
"What's the difference?" Qiao Xiong snorted.
Ji Yueyao finally couldn't take it anymore and pinched Qiao Xiong's little face, "You'll understand when you grow up."
Qiao Xiong thought about it and happily realized that growing up meant he could learn a lot of things.
After settling Qiao Xiong in, Ji Yueyao went to see Wei Kang. Wei Kang looked much better than before. Although his face was still a little pale, he was at least no longer losing weight.
"When will you wake up?" Ji Yueyao looked at the unconscious Wei Kang, sighed, and sat quietly by the bedside.
Over the past few months, Ji Yueyao has truly come to understand a great deal and has become increasingly familiar with the rules of this world. However, the thing she is least familiar with is that the person who can talk eloquently in front of you one moment can disappear from your sight the next.
"It's completely incomprehensible," Ji Yueyao said, leaning back in her seat as if talking to herself.
"team leader!"
Just as Ji Yueyao was about to leave, Lin Xuan suddenly rushed into the ward.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yueyao asked, taken aback.
Lin Xuan took a breath, as if he had run all the way here. "Headquarters has issued new orders. A new captain has taken office for the sixth team of the search department. Headquarters is calling you to assemble now."
"A new captain has taken office?" Ji Yueyao stood up, carefully closed the door to Wei Kang's ward, and followed Lin Xuan out. "It's only been a few days, isn't it a bit too fast?"
"That's a bit fast indeed." Lin Xuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "I heard that the new team leader this time seems to have originally worked in the supply department."
"The supply department?" Ji Yueyao thought for a moment. "Why would people from the supply department be transferred to the search department?"
“The search department has a higher status, right?” Lin Xuan shrugged and opened the door to the medical department for Ji Yueyao. “At the Xiyu base, the highest-ranking department is the search department, followed by the defense department, the invasion department, the supply department, and the living department. So people from other departments usually try to get into the search department.”
“Alright, we’re doing life-or-death work.” Ji Yueyao walked quickly beside Lin Xuan, secretly thinking about when she should find time to take on a small mission. She remembered that when she first met Qiao Ying, Qiao Ying only had Qing Zhang with her. At that time, Qiao Ying was probably carrying out a small mission for two people.
As Ji Yueyao pondered, she and Lin Xuan walked to the headquarters of the search department. Then, just like when she first entered the search department, Zhong Ran began to give a speech at the headquarters. It seemed that even the words he said had not changed. The only difference was that this time Ji Yueyao was not standing in the center of the venue, but on one side of the search department headquarters.
Ji Yueyao stood at the back of the field and saw Zhong Jue standing arrogantly at the front of the line. She didn't know what to feel. She turned her head and yawned, feeling a little sleepy.
"Mu Liu has now been appointed as the official captain of the 10th squad of the search department."
Muliu? !
As soon as Zhong Ran finished speaking, Ji Yueyao was instantly wide awake. She looked up at the man standing in the center of the field and suddenly felt a little dazed.
Mu Liu has become the captain of the sixth squad of the search department?!
Ji Yueyao suddenly remembered what Xiao Yaru had once said, and blankly lowered her head. Could it all have been planned?!
Qiao Ying's death, Mu Liu becoming the captain... Ji Yueyao suddenly raised her head, her pupils shrinking slightly. If all of this was planned, then was Qiao Ying's death also planned?!
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhong. I've finally gotten what I wanted." Mu Liu put his arm around Zhong Jue's shoulder and squinted his slightly shrewd eyes with pleasure.
Zhong Jue chuckled lightly, "This is nothing."
"Ultimately stubborn."
At the end of the corridor, Ji Yueyao stood at the entrance of the building, coldly staring at Zhong Jue as he walked over. For some reason, when Zhong Jue saw Ji Yueyao's unfathomable dark eyes, he felt a sudden panic in his heart.
"What's wrong, Ji Yueyao?" Zhong Jue raised his hand to block Mu Liu's arm, a faint smile on his face.
Looking at Zhong Jue's face, which showed no remorse, Ji Yueyao felt a thunderous sound in her mind: "First Captain, your girlfriend has passed away, yet you show no sadness whatsoever."
Zhong Jue immediately sensed the sarcasm in Ji Yueyao's tone, and the smile on his face faded. "Ji Yueyao, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing." Seeing Zhong Jue's reaction, Ji Yueyao seemed to understand. She glanced at Mu Liu, who had just become the captain, and said lightly, "Congratulations."
Although there was no hint of congratulation in his tone, Mu Liu still nodded with a touch of arrogance. He knew that Ji Yueyao, the female captain, wouldn't have many more days to cause trouble.
