“He’s handsome, rich, and talented.” Tong Xin chimed in from the side.
Lu Liang glanced at Tong Xin in the rearview mirror and realized she was no ordinary person either.
He couldn’t pinpoint why, but she had a certain alluring aura about her.
He trusted his instincts, which were usually spot on.
“Do you know him?” he asked, feeling how small the world was.
“Yes. We participated in an activity together.”
“Interstellar Scavenging?”
“You know about that. It’s a top-secret project, how did you find out?”
“There’s nothing I want to know that I can’t find out.”
Lu Liang’s statement piqued Tong Xin’s curiosity.
“Then do you know how many women Guo Xuyang has?” she asked, hoping to gather information about him.
“I do. Why? Do you want to know too?”
“I heard Sister Yu say he has seven or eight women, and I’m curious.”
“Is that so? Those are all his confidantes.”
“Are you very familiar with him?”
“You could say that.”
“Then aren’t the women around him jealous? Don’t they argue?”
“No. I haven’t observed any so far.” Lu Liang spoke those words against his better judgment.
He had clearly seen in Africa that Xiao Yun and Iliana were not on good terms.
Of course, the two had reconciled by now.
Or rather, it wasn’t reconciliation, but simply that they were all Guo Xuyang’s women, so there was no need for reconciliation.
“Do his women live together?”
“No. They each live separately.”
“Are you going when he goes to propose tomorrow?”
“Why would I go? It’s a matter between their two families, so of course I won’t go.”
“Sister Yu, aren’t you going back home to see?”
“No. I’m afraid I’ll lose my temper if I see him.” Li Minyu said.
“Brother Yang’s parents are coming with them. Aren’t you afraid that Little Xi won’t talk to you in the future if you don’t go back? This is her lifelong event, after all.”
Hearing Lu Liang’s words, Li Minyu felt a stir of emotion.
She knew Lu Liang was right. Despite their bickering since childhood, they were sisters after all. If she didn’t show up on such an important day, she was truly afraid that Li Minxi would hold it against her.
“I just requested leave today, would it be difficult to request leave again tomorrow?”
“What’s the big deal? Your sister’s matter is important. No one would be so unreasonable, would they?
You managed to get leave today, and you can get it again tomorrow.
Besides, who would be so clueless as to prevent you from attending your sister’s engagement banquet?”
“Alright then, I’ll request leave to go back tomorrow.”
“Sister Yu, I’m free tomorrow. Can I go with you to see?”
“Why are you making a fuss? It’s a family gathering, what are you doing there?” Lu Liang retorted. He felt Tong Xin was a bit simple-minded.
“I’ll just go and see, I won’t be eating at her house. I’ll leave after a short while.”
“Are you free tomorrow?”
“We’re on holiday. We’re resting.”
“Then why are you back at the unit now?”
“I was bored alone, and there wasn’t much to do outside, so I came back to the unit.”
“What about your friends?”
“I don’t have friends outside. My friends are all teammates.”
“Is that so? Then forget it, I never asked.”
The group arrived at the Fourteenth Bureau. Lu Liang dropped them off and headed to his office to find Li Ziqi.
“Sister Yu, what does he do?” Tong Xin asked after Lu Liang had walked away.
“Him? He used to be my instructor, then he retired. I heard he went into business.”
“Then how did he know about Interstellar Scavenging? Did Guo Xuyang tell him?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“If Guo Xuyang told him, then that’s a security breach.”
“It’s not that serious, is it? You can’t be sure it was Guo Xuyang who told him.”
“No, I need to report this to the captain.”
“Who is your captain?”
“Sister Yu, I can’t tell you that. The superiors have very strict regulations.
We’re not allowed to disclose any information, or we’ll be held accountable.”
“Then if you tell your captain about what just happened, wouldn’t Guo Xuyang be held accountable?
Do you not want him to participate in that project anymore?”
“No, I…”
“You don’t need to say any more. Sometimes, keeping your mouth shut is the most important thing.” Li Minyu gave her a look.
“Moreover, can you guarantee that Guo Xuyang was the one who leaked the information?
If you can’t guarantee it, what’s the point of telling your captain?”
“Alright then. Sister Yu, do you think Guo Xuyang is about to become your brother-in-law, so you’re telling me not to say anything?”
“Do I look like that kind of person?”
“No.”
“Since you think I’m not, then why are you asking? That’s enough. I’m going back to my room now.
In the future, when faced with something, think it through more carefully and try to do less things that harm others and yourself.”
“I understand, Sister Yu. I was inconsiderate, please don’t blame me.”
“It’s good that you understand,” Li Minyu said, then turned and left.
Tong Xin watched Li Minyu walk away cautiously and couldn’t help but chuckle, licking her lips.
Li Minxi didn’t realize that the prey she had set her sights on was actually a skilled hunter.
“Team Leader, you sent for me,” Lu Liang said to Li Ziqi.
“How is it? When are you coming back?” Li Ziqi asked.
“What do you have for me?”
“Guo Xuyang has passed the supernatural ability test. He’s the fastest to clear all stages so far.
You’re close to him, so you need to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t do anything that harms society.”
“Is that so? As far as I know, he’s been busy with his business.” Lu Liang replied.
“He’s been using his supernatural abilities for personal gain. There have been multiple reports to us about it.”
“You’re talking about your boss, aren’t you? I know about that.
It’s about the raw stones, isn’t it? He didn’t do anything wrong. He’s earning a living with his skills.”
“Since you know, I won’t hide anything.
Yes, he took over ten billion worth of jade from my brother’s shop.
With just that, I could demand that you bring him to justice.”
“Team Leader, don’t forget I’ve retired. Even if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t arrest him.
You know better than me what the situation is with your brother.
I’m aware of this. I also know about them going to the Myanmar store.
However, you might not know about his participation in Interstellar Scavenging, right?”
“I know about that. What do you mean?”
“You should know about his performance in this operation and how highly he was recognized by the superiors.”
“I don’t know about that.”
“Then there’s nothing more to say. I didn’t expect you to be more out of the loop than I am.”
“How did you find out?”
“I can’t tell you that. You just need to know that Guo Xuyang won’t do anything that harms society.
Also, don’t supervise him without authorization. If he really causes trouble for you, your current position might be at risk.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Let me give you a hint. Guo Xuyang is about to become the son-in-law of Li Minyu’s sister.
You know Li Minyu’s situation, don’t you?”
“Oh. You mean…”
“Yes. So, don’t judge him by your past standards.
Moreover, in the last operation, he single-handedly prevented any casualties among the team members, earning high praise from the authorities.”
“Brother, thank you for telling me this.”
“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be going back.”
“No. Brother, let’s have a drink together tonight, my treat.”
“Thank you, I have plans tonight. Another time.” Lu Liang said and walked out.
He didn’t want to dine with someone so morally bankrupt, as it would only lower his own standing.
