Go up to the first floor, turn the corner, and walk a little further inside, and you will find the office.
"Ms. Pei, please go inside and just knock on the door before entering."
"Thanks."
Pei Xiqing went forward and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
A calm and steady voice came from inside.
She gently pushed the door open.
Fu Yan was sitting in the back of the office, wearing a pair of reading glasses, with his hair combed back. Compared to the last time they met, he looked much more energetic.
"Hello, Marshal."
"Hello, Miss Pei." Fu Yan stood up, shook her hand, and immediately called out, "Come here, bring the tea. Bring me my treasured jar of Longjing tea."
After a while, the tea was served.
Pei Xiqing didn't rush to drink. At Fu Yan's invitation, he sat at the conference table on the balcony.
Fu Yan took a sip of tea first, squinting his eyes in enjoyment, delicately feeling the flavor of the tea. After a long while, he slowly asked, "Which city did you live in before, Miss Pei?"
"I forgot. I've moved around so many cities and I don't have a home. I'm just a home away from home. I go wherever there's work."
"Hiss... I remember Miss Pei had a father and family. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Pei also has a biological sister."
Pei Xiqing smiled: "A home without feelings, can it really be considered a home?"
"That's right. No wonder Miss Pei wanders around and encounters so many teams and interacts with so many people. Apparently, she doesn't get along with her father and sister. But I understand. Not all families are happy."
Pei Xiqing lowered his eyes, holding the teacup beside him, and looked at it silently for a while.
The marshal appeared gentle on the surface, but he had actually investigated her thoroughly.
"yes."
Fu Yan looked towards the bustling skyscrapers in the distance, seeming a little regretful. "I also have a family, but my wife died at the hands of zombies five years ago. I only have a daughter left at home. I wonder if Miss Pei recognizes her. She used to go to the Third Base, but then something happened there, and she disappeared."
Xia Jingyu's father.
It turned out to be him.
She didn't know what happened when Xia Jingyu disappeared.
Anyway, after the incident at the third base, she has never seen Xia Jingyu again.
Given her strength and status, nothing serious should happen.
After all, she is the marshal's daughter and the only female general, so she has some ability to protect herself.
She asked, "I'm not entirely sure, but is there really no news about her recently? And are you sure she's not carrying out any missions at that base?"
Fu Yan shook his head. "The mission failed long ago. Even the third base is gone. What mission is there to talk about? I've been sending people to search everywhere for the past few months, but there's still no news. I don't know what happened to that girl."
"I was no longer at the Third Base when the incident occurred, so I don't know exactly what happened there. But if I had any news about her, I would have informed the Marshal immediately."
Fu Yan nodded in relief. "Okay, but that girl is used to trusting people. Before, she either deliberately wore the wrong Xiaolin military uniform or interfered with the execution of Franlun's official duties, making Franlun's Qiu Chao very angry. Disappearance is also a trick she often plays. If someone makes her unhappy, she will disappear for several months and then suddenly reappear."
"I hope so."
"That girl had been following Xiao Lin since she was first introduced to him, and he chased her out. She probably just thought it was fun and had no ill intentions. Miss Pei probably wouldn't hold it against her, right?"
"No." Pei Xiqing said truthfully: "She also helped me in the Third Base. I also know that she didn't mean it. I won't blame her."
"Okay." Fu Yan nodded slowly. "I'm really happy and surprised that Miss Pei is so sensible. I'm also happy for Xiao Lin to have such a caring and gentle person by his side."
He sighed again and put the teacup back on the table, "It's just that... Xiao Lin's request this time is really too difficult to fulfill."
"Marshal, why don't you speak?"
Fu Yan looked at her. His eyes, which still had a bit of sharpness, were full of fatigue and showed his old age.
"As for me, the reason I asked you to come here this time is because of what Xiao Lin did in the conference room a few days ago." He seemed to be choosing his words, and after a pause, he continued: "Xiao Lin wants so many crystal cores. Is there something...unspeakable?"
