Chapter 439: Eat Hot Pot



The next day's news featured a special edition about an internal conflict between Vice Chairman Chang of the Black Tigers and Leinster of the 7K Party over a dispute over the distribution of spoils, culminating in a gunfight that resulted in the deaths of both men. Ao Li, commander of the Third Garrison Regiment, who had been dispatched to break up the gang fight, disappeared in an explosion and remains unaccounted for. The military is offering a reward of 10,000 yuan for any information leading to the whereabouts of Commander Ao.

Ao Li himself probably didn't expect that after appearing on the news, it would only be worth 10,000 yuan. He must have been furious after seeing that. Because this was an official announcement, and 10,000 credit points is indeed a lot for ordinary people, but for Ao Li's status, it is definitely not enough.

In addition, Wu Jie officially took over the Third Battle Dance Troupe. The Ao family wanted to take back the jurisdiction of the Third Troupe, but was rejected by the United Nations on the grounds of other tasks.

Blackfoot Seven and Song Muchin have now regained their freedom. Song Muchin refuses to leave, saying she wants to follow in Boss Hao's footsteps. At his sister's urging, his brother also volunteered to join Boss Hao's Sky Eye Security Company. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Boss Hao's biggest backer must be the United Nations; otherwise, how could he have the power to take over the military?

Now that they knew so much about Boss Hao's identity and secrets, even the dumbest people knew they couldn't leave so easily. So the brother and sister discussed it and decided to join Sky Eye Security Company.

However, at this moment, Wu Jie had already taken off his disguise, changed into home clothes, and was cooking for someone in the kitchen. It was hard to imagine what kind of scene this was.

"Senior, stop teasing me. I'm just a little bit stronger than ordinary people. How can I really go against the dancer?" Wu Jie explained with a smile while dodging Mingxi's "attack".

Mingxi was now increasingly impressed by his junior. He'd only been at sea for two months, and he'd become completely unfamiliar. Was he still the same junior he'd known? How could he, after such a short time apart, already be able to dismantle the core of the Hand Dancer with his bare hands? He was simply inhuman.

"Come on, did you go somewhere to steal some skills? Or did you inject yourself with some genetic enhancer? Otherwise, how could you have such skills and speed?" Ming Xi stared at Wu Jie, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Wu Jie.

Wu Jie looked helpless. "Senior, you know I've loved exercising since I was little. How can an average idiot be my match? Even if there were ten more scumbags like Ao Li, I wouldn't even blink an eye."

"Pfft——" Mingxi couldn't help laughing out loud when listening to Wu Jie's self-boasting.

"You kid really dare to brag. Tell me, how many girls' virginity did you take when you went to the sea this time? Now you can talk to girls without hesitation. You were not as smooth-talking as you are now before. There must be a story!" Mingxi's eyes were full of cunning.

Wu Jie shuddered. My goodness, this senior must be a worm in his stomach. How could she guess everything so clearly? Could it be that she and Cai Xing had a disciple before, or are all women Sherlock Holmes?

Seeing Wu Jie remained silent, Ming Xi snorted and looked up at the sky: "It seems that what I said was right! Alas, this junior of mine is really getting better and better. Look, he is not only an alien killer, but also a beautiful girl killer."

Wu Jie staggered. Wow, even though he knew Mingxi was teasing him, he still had to admit that the senior sister's bluntness was really accurate. How come she knew that he was an alien killer?

"Senior, I can understand the beautiful girl killer, but what does this alien killer mean?" Wu Jie looked puzzled.

Seeing Wu Jie's curious expression, Ming Xi covered her mouth and said, "Don't just talk, kid. I'm almost starving. By the way, isn't the hot pot ready yet? I remember it wasn't that difficult, right?"

It turned out that Wu Jie had promised to treat his senior sister to hotpot. Now that he finally had some free time, Wu Jie planned to take some time to enjoy this rare leisure time alone with his senior sister.

"Here it comes, it will be ready soon!" Wu Jie prepared the dishes and served them to the table one by one. Ming Xi did not just sit there and wait, but came forward to help.

The two of them didn't choose to eat hot pot at the restaurant, but planned to make it at home. Since this building was Hestia's family property, no one dared to investigate here, which was also very friendly to the confidentiality of the work.

At this moment, the two bumped into each other because they wanted to take the same dish. Mingxi blushed, but she calmly held the dish down and said, "Let me do it. You are the one who paid the most for this mission. You should take this opportunity to relax."

Listening to the senior's caring words, Wu Jie felt a warm glow in his heart. He had always treated her like family. He thought back to who had drawn him into the Suzaku Battle Dance Troupe, and who had helped him through his lowest moments. Without her, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Wu Jie looked at his senior's hand and suddenly recalled her past experiences, which Qingqiu Yu and Qianye had both told him. He also understood her hardships and difficulties, and a surge of tenderness rose in his heart. He sighed softly and said, "Senior, you know that we humans are now a civilization in its twilight years. Although the United Nations has signed a temporary peace treaty with the war-weary factions on Ins, it's only a drop in the bucket."

"God knows when the pro-war faction will regain control of the battlefield. When that happens, their massive army will arrive, and our human army will not be able to defeat them easily. Even if the war-weary faction is willing to provide us with technological guidance, the time is too short. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, or they could attack at any time. We humans don't have much time..."

Listening to Wu Jie's words, Mingxi fell silent. She knew the reality of what he said. Humanity was in turmoil, and through the briefing Wu Jie had sent her, she understood that Wu Jie had been silently contributing to humanity without ever asking for anything in return.

Perhaps Wu Jie was sent by God to help mankind, she couldn't help but think so. That's why God made her think of Wu Jie, and Wu Jie's appearance happened to be seen by her father, who also happened to approve of Wu Jie's character and ability.

Mingxi suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, when did you become so sentimental? Are you still the junior student I know? Today is our rare rest day, do you still want me to eat hot pot in peace?"

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening: "Right, right, right, you see, my mind is solely focused on work. Ha!"
