Chapter 381 Faith and Shackles
After hearing what had happened, Yun Zhao remained silent for two seconds before saying, "You're not being unreasonable; you're speaking up for yourself. You did nothing wrong."
What you choose yourself is called faith; what you are born with is called shackles.
Yun Zhao wasn't good at comforting people, but he was just being realistic: "Minister Bai is probably just worried about your safety. Maybe you can try communicating with him in a different way."
The power of the Special Abilities Department has been decentralized.
Even before construction on the White Pagoda has begun, differing opinions have already emerged within the organization.
Minister Bai is probably in a real bind.
Bai Yu's suggestion to leave the base at this point is tantamount to walking into the line of fire.
And once she sets a precedent, the other guides will probably be eager to follow suit.
As a leader.
Minister Bai has too many things to consider.
Furthermore, this matter is probably not up to him alone; he would need to obtain the approval of Director Shen and several other ministers.
"A different way to communicate?" Bai Yu was stunned and fell into thought.
She quickly realized what was happening, her face clearly showing her displeasure. "I've been away from home for several days, and my dad hasn't come looking for me at all."
Yun Zhao sighed helplessly, "You can't leave the base anyway. Minister Bai can find out where you are with just one question."
Moreover, she also goes to the outpatient clinic in the outer city every day to see patients.
Minister Bai probably wants to wait for her to figure things out on her own; otherwise, if he comes looking for her, the father and daughter will definitely start arguing again.
"Yeah?"
"Um."
After Bai Yu explained what had happened, she calmed down a bit. But she refused to give up and couldn't help asking, "Which communication method would be better?"
Yun Zhao thought for a while, "You can collect some cases of aberrations in sentinels that were not properly addressed, and use real data to convince him."
She kept glancing at the strawberries on the table, and couldn't resist bending down to pick up a box of strawberries and open it.
He continued, "However, the timing of the conversation is very important. We need to choose the right opportunity, preferably when Minister Bai is in a good mood."
These boxed strawberries have already been washed.
Yun Zhao picked up a strawberry, took a small bite, and the sweet and sour juice burst in his mouth.
"Strawberries are so delicious!" Yun Zhao mumbled.
So this is what fresh strawberries taste like.
The sweet juice has a hint of tartness, making it even better than strawberry milk and strawberry sandwich cookies.
Yun Zhao handed the box to Bai Yu, indicating that she should take it herself.
Bai Yu reached out and took a fresh strawberry, still thinking about what she had just said.
"But wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing for me to slink back like this?"
Bai Yu immediately sat up: "No! We can't back down. If I go back like this, my dad will definitely think I'm admitting my mistake, and it will be even harder to negotiate next time."
Yun Zhao took another strawberry and put it in his mouth. After thinking about it, he realized that it was possible.
"It's fine if you don't want to go back, you can move in with me."
The apartments in the complex are all two-bedroom, one-living room layouts.
Bai Yu was staying at Zhao Yan's house and taking over the children's room, making Aunt Zhao uncomfortable.
Although she only has one room, the other room, the one for the little bluebird, cannot be moved.
But it's not impossible for two people to live together.
"Okay!" Bai Yu also felt that it wasn't good to keep living in other people's houses.
She acted immediately, rushing next door to get her things.
Yun Zhao did not move.
Bai Yu is very impulsive; she was just feeling terrible, but she's fine right now.
She might just be someone she can't find to talk to.
Yun Zhao felt that the two were quite similar in this respect.
A few minutes later.
Bai Yu came over carrying bags and packages, followed by He Pingping and He An'an.
Zhao Yan went downstairs to deliver things to other households.
The two children had just come home from school.
Upon hearing that Sister Yun Zhao had returned and Sister Bai Yu was moving in, Ping Ping and An An offered to help carry her things.
"Sister Yun Zhao!" He An'an, holding Bai Yu's pillow in her arms, ran over happily to greet her.
He Pingping was also very happy.
They hadn't seen Sister Yunzhao for over a month.
The two children put down their things and gathered around her, chattering away about what had happened at school recently.
"Our teacher took us to the library yesterday. The library at the base is so big! When we're in third grade, we'll be able to borrow books with our student IDs!"
"Also, Qin Xiaoxiao got first place in PE class last week. The teachers all said that she will definitely become a sentry in the future."
He Pingping asked enviously, "Sister Yun Zhao, will I become a Sentinel in the future?"
Yun Zhao gave each of the two children a strawberry and replied, "I don't know. It's okay if you can't become a Sentinel. You can take the exam to become a researcher at the base and become an excellent scientist."
He An'an was very supportive, tilting her head back and saying, "Then I want to be a scientist when I grow up."
Yun Zhao patted her head. "Okay."
The adult and the two children ate fruit and chatted.
Bai Yu didn't disturb them and continued moving things back and forth.
She was used to spending money lavishly, spending the points she earned herself, and was almost always broke every month.
After moving in, Bai Yu paid Aunt Zhao 500 points for rent plus the money she had spent on the four-piece bedding set. She also paid the sentries in town for running errands, asking them to buy her daily necessities in the inner city.
Having only lived here for a few days, I've unknowingly acquired a whole bunch of things.
Bai Yu wasn't really used to life in the outer city.
But she was determined not to go back unless her father came to pick her up!
Yun Zhao was sitting properly, but when he saw that Bai Yu had made three or four trips and still hadn't finished moving the items, he had no choice but to stand up and go over to help.
Two adults and two children worked for half a day, and in the end, the children still had to help tidy up.
Zhao Yan has returned and is cooking dinner in the kitchen.
The children were going back to their rooms to do their homework, and they said goodbye with reluctance.
As He An'an left, she asked worriedly, "Sister Yun Zhao, will you go out again? What if my brother and I can't find you after we finish our homework?"
Yun Zhao replied silently, "No, it won't happen."
He An'an was relieved and went home with her brother to do her homework.
Only the two of them remained in the room.
Bai Yu was so tired that she sat down on the sofa to rest.
Seeing that she was alright, Yun Zhao got up and walked to the door of Little Bluebird's room, saying directly, "Little Bluebird isn't doing well, I need to check on her."
Bai Yu was startled. She had been thinking about her own affairs and only then realized that she hadn't seen the little bluebird.
"Go ahead, I'll watch the door for you." Bai Yu felt a little embarrassed; she was the one who had delayed Yun Zhao's business.
The guide must not be disturbed while viewing the spiritual visions.
Yun Zhao nodded and closed the door.

On the other side...
After Xie Tu dropped Qi Ling off, he drove to the operations department.
He walked to the door, saw Cheng Dongshu standing straight, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and entered the elevator directly to the underground command center.
Bright lights flashed overhead.
In front of the central metal control console, Minister Duan, still dressed in a dark blue military uniform, stood there ramrod straight.
Hearing the commotion, Minister Duan turned around and saw someone enter. Instead of inquiring about the mission's failure, he asked about something else, "Why were you suddenly asked to have the intelligence team investigate the data on contaminated zone 320?"
Xie Tu walked over and stood beside the minister.
He looked up at the dense array of red dots on the big screen and replied, "It's the next mission."
