Ji Yueyao randomly ordered one dish, then called out to Fire Fox, who was about to leave, "Fire Fox, it's time to eat. Where are you going?"
"Uh..." Fire Fox looked at Ji Yueyao with a conflicted expression. Didn't he see that the general's face had turned black? Of course, he wanted to run as far away as possible.
"Fire Fox, sit down and eat." Mu Yanxuan didn't like Ji Yueyao focusing her attention on others, so she said coldly.
"Yes..." Fire Fox was in tears.
Everyone sat down quietly in the restaurant, and no one spoke until the food was served. The atmosphere was extremely strange. However, Zhenyang, this oddball, was wolfing down his food, like a refugee who hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Ahem." Ji Yueyao watched Mu Yanxuan eat in silence and found it a little strange that he had suddenly become quiet.
"Ji Yueyao?" Mu Yanxuan keenly noticed Ji Yueyao's gaze, then turned to look at her.
Ji Yueyao's ears turned red, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "It's nothing."
Mu Yanxuan took in Ji Yueyao's every move. Her ears were even turning red. How cute.
"Um... Zhenyang?" Ji Yueyao spoke up as she looked at Zhenyang, who was eating happily across from her without any regard for the atmosphere. Because Mu Yanxuan had strictly forbidden Zhenyang from getting in their car these past few days, Ji Yueyao had hardly had any opportunities to talk to him. "Didn't you say you came with your friends? Then why are you the only one left alone?"
"Well..." Zhenyang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I have a really bad sense of direction. That day I went out to buy some things and couldn't find my way back to the hotel. When I finally found the hotel, my teammates had already left."
When Ji Yueyao heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, a dark glint flashing in them. "Aren't you the deputy captain of this negotiation team? Are they going to leave without waiting for you?"
"Hehehe..." Zhenyang's smile froze for a moment, and finally he picked up his chopsticks and rummaged through his rice a couple of times before laughing, "I really don't have a good sense of direction. As for why my partners went first... this mission was very urgent, and with the captain leading the way, I, as the vice-captain, was naturally not qualified to delay the mission, so it's not strange that they went first."
But you looked really anxious when you got into their car... Zhenyang's explanation was far-fetched, but Ji Yueyao wisely stopped asking and just lowered her head to eat the fried rice in front of her.
During this time, Mu Yanxuan only glanced at Zhenyang once, and then silently continued eating.
It must be said that the military's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Whether in terms of technology or manpower, they far surpass the four major bases of Country C, otherwise they would not have such abundant food.
It seems the military has mastered certain food production technologies and is developing them vigorously. Ji Yueyao watched the man beside her, elegantly eating fried rice with his eyes lowered, and felt a sense of longing while finding it pleasing to the eye. This man was the highest commander of the military.
It was truly astonishing that she, an unknown nobody, was now dining at the same table as him. Ji Yueyao's eyes seemed unfocused, only a desire rising within her. Sure enough… she also wanted to become like him, powerful and aloof.
Lin Xuan watched Ji Yueyao quietly eating with her head down, then glanced at Mu Yanxuan sitting next to her. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Did Ji Yueyao like this guy? But their identities were completely incompatible. One day... one day Ji Yueyao would realize that the only person who could always be by her side was himself.
Kachi glanced at Zhenyang, who was wolfing down his food, and snorted twice to indicate that she couldn't be bothered with this weirdo.
Firefox looked like it had a stomachache. For the first time ever, it ate slowly and carefully. "Waaah, I'll definitely run faster next time."
Zhenyang finished his meal first, then let out a satisfied burp. He then stared intently at Mu Yanxuan, a slightly lewd smile on his face. "Um, I heard everyone here call you 'Sir,' who exactly are you?"
Mu Yan usually keeps his identity a secret when he is out in public, but he only reveals it directly to Ji Yueyao, a special person. He keeps it absolutely secret from outsiders like Zhen Yang.
Kaqi and the others had been instructed beforehand and dared not reveal Mu Yanxuan's identity, so Zhenyang still didn't know who Mu Yanxuan was.
“A businessman,” Mu Yanxuan said calmly.
"A businessman can command such respect from these arrogant soldiers?" Zhenyang expressed his doubt seriously. He then thought for a moment and asked, "Are you also going to the Nanxiao base to do business? Considering the way the people here treat you... you're not the mastermind behind Bar, are you?"
"..." Ji Yueyao glanced at Zhenyang speechlessly, indicating that this guy really had a knack for thinking.
Then Mu Yanxuan nodded.
"..." Ji Yueyao was speechless for the second time. This guy really dared to nod. What if he encountered the real thing?
"My God, my idol!" Zhenyang's eyes lit up, and when he looked at Mu Yanxuan, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a lump of gold... no, a pile of gold. "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you. But I don't know if you're interested in doing business with us. We Black Race desperately need you."
"We'll talk about it when we get to the Nanxiao base," Mu Yanxuan said calmly, without changing his expression.
Looking at Mu Yanxuan's calm demeanor, Ji Yueyao felt that this guy was indeed different from ordinary people like herself. Look, even when he was arguing, he was so calm and composed. This level of composure really made her... intoxicated.
"Okay! I'll tell our captain!" Zhenyang grinned, showing off his bright white teeth, almost blinding Ji Yueyao sitting opposite him.
After having dinner and resting for a few hours, the group continued their journey towards the Nanxiao base.
"Ji Yueyao, what are you thinking about?" Mu Yanxuan and Ji Yueyao were walking at the back of the group. Mu Yanxuan raised his hand and gently waved it in front of Ji Yueyao as he asked.
Suddenly a large hand waved in front of her. Ji Yueyao was stunned for a moment before she realized what it was. "It's nothing... I just think what Zhenyang said is strange."
"What's strange about it?" Mu Yan asked knowingly, a smile playing on his lips.
“He said their mission was urgent… but even if it was urgent, they couldn’t just leave him, a deputy captain, to continue the mission.” Ji Yueyao pondered. “And when he begged us to take him to the Nanxiao base, he was in such a hurry. Obviously, losing him was very important to both the mission and to him.”
Ji Yueyao looked up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She straightened the straps on her shoulders and continued walking forward. "But if Zhenyang wasn't lying and their team really did leave, then it can only mean that there is someone in the team who is... of very high status. He has the right to command and manage the team. And Zhenyang's rush to the Nanxiao base wasn't for the mission, but for the person of high status."
“And that person…” Mu Yanxuan was very satisfied with Ji Yueyao’s idea, and raised his hand to press her head to encourage her, “It is possible that he is the current leader of the Black race.”
