Xue Xi frowned when she saw this message.
Just as she was about to reply, the other party sent another screenshot!
Xue Xi instinctively opened it. When she saw the contents, her pupils constricted.
She stared at this picture in disbelief and replied after a while: “What are you trying to say?”
The other party was still very cautious, so the reply was still garbled. After it was decrypted, it read: “He doesn’t have a pure motive toward you. He’s not as good as you think. This is the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can hack into their system to investigate. This should be at the level of an SSS. You won’t be able to come into contact with it ordinarily.”
Xue Xi had once tried to hack into the special department’s SSS-level confidential documents, but she encountered the X from the special department. She now thought that it must have been Xiang Huai who’d stopped her. She did not succeed.
However, she did not expect that in the SSS-level files, other than the info about Little Flame’s parents, there was actually also info about her.
The other party would not lie about this.
But why?
Xue Xi immediately shook her head.
She believed in Xiang Huai.
That mysterious organization had only sent this to her to muddy the trust between her and Xiang Huai.
However, the trust between them was not built in a day or two.
It was over a year and a half.
Xue Xi had always believed in her instincts, so she simply blocked that number so that the other party would not be able to send any more messages.
Xue Xi quickly threw this matter to the back of her mind. She rarely thought about things other than studying.
At this moment, she received Xiang Huai’s WeChat reply: “Liu Tao was your handiwork, right? I know Jing Fei’s speed. He’s not that fast.”
Xue Xi replied: “Mhm.”
Just as she was about to apologize to Xiang Huai, Omnipotent Boss sent another message: “Well done.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Alright, it looked like Xiang Huai did not blame her. That’s good.
Beep.
Xue Xi looked at her phone again and realized that Xiang Huai had sent another WeChat message: “Don’t expose your special power easily. The world of espers is very dangerous!”
Xue Xi replied, “Got it.” She then placed her phone aside.
She did not realize that even though she had reminded herself to be more respectful to Omnipotent Boss, ever since she found out about Xiang Huai’s identity, her tone toward him had become much more intimate.
…
Xiang Huai, who was in a mysterious office, looked at the words “Got it.” He seemed to sense the little kid’s impatience and curled his lips.
At this moment, Qian Xin called him. “Boss, look at how valiant Jing Fei is. Other than giving him a medal, I’m also planning to give him a reward of five million yuan. What do you think? I’ll pay this money myself. After all, he saved the hostage, which is equivalent to saving me! Hehe.”
Xiang Huai: “…Whatever.”
However, after hanging up, Xiang Huai knocked on the table.
Forget about who was getting the credit. Receiving too much merit wasn’t useful to the little kid. After all, she did not need to rely on merit to get a promotion and a raise, but as for the bonus…
Xiang Huai called Jing Fei.
Jing Fei quickly picked it up and said smugly, “Boss, my performance was amazing this time. Are you going to praise me too?”
Xiang Huai: “Back then, when Qian Xin went to the special department to get an esper, you were the one who gave him the backing, right?”
The special department had tight surveillance. If Qian Xin wanted to bring Liu Tao out, could he do so easily?
Of course not.
Jing Fei, who was in charge of the police department, must have released the prisoner.
Jing Fei stuttered, “This, Boss, isn’t everything in the past now? Moreover, the murderer is dead! Look…”
“Mhm, I also feel that the matter has passed. I’ll just give a symbolic punishment.”
Jing Fei instantly heaved a sigh of relief. “Boss, I knew you were the best. What you said just now really frightened me!”
Just as he said this, he heard Xiang Huai’s voice coming from the phone. “I’ll punish you with a penalty of five million yuan. You have no objections, right?”
Jing Fei: “????”
Five… Five million!!!
Boss was too much, wasn’t he?
Five million was equivalent to many years of his salary! This was too much!
How could he not have any objections?
The corners of Jing Fei’s lips twitched. He held back his heartache and said, “…No objections.”
…
After getting back the reward for the little kid, Xiang Huai felt relieved.
He casually clicked on the computer a few times and received another message: “Boss, Sister-in-law received a harassment message.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
After the person sent the message, they even sent the message Xue Xi had received on her phone to Xiang Huai: “Boss, these are the messages we intercepted.”
Usually, when this person reported information, Xiang Huai would be very aloof. He would either not reply or reply with a single “Mhm.”
However, today, Xiang Huai replied proudly: “She has already told me.”
The other party: “Wow, Sister-in-law’s awareness is really high! Since that’s the case, isn’t this activity superfluous? Boss, should I withdraw this info?”
Xiang Huai clicked casually and suddenly saw a screenshot from the other party’s message.
That screenshot was an encrypted document at the SSS level of the special department. The document was released five years ago. It was for finding a young girl who was 14 years old and could learn other people’s special abilities. This person’s identity was mysterious. Perhaps she was in the Jiangnan area…
All the conditions pointed to one person: Xue Xi.
Xiang Huai’s pupils constricted and he became inexplicably nervous.
Did the little kid know that he had been looking for her for five years?
This message made Xiang Huai’s eyes suddenly flash with a sharp glint. He said coldly, “Gather everyone tonight and go to the Purple Gold Pavilion to keep an eye on them.”
“Yes.”
…
Xue Xi did not worry about the Purple Gold Pavilion anymore.
After work, she returned home and realized that her parents were packing their luggage.
Xue Xi’s reaction was a little slow as she asked in a daze, “Dad, Mom, where are you guys going?”
Ye Li smiled. “It’s not just your father and me. The three of us are going back to our hometown.”
Xue Xi: “?”
Ye Li rubbed her head. “What a silly child. It’s almost the new year, so of course we’re going back to our hometown for the new year. I have packed gifts to bring back.”
After saying that, she lowered her head. “Bin City is your father’s home after all. The old patriarch is also there. Although the old patriarch’s love for your father is not pure, he is still his father. We still have to go back and pay a visit. Moreover, your grandfather’s spirit has improved. Dr. Ji said that we can bring him to a familiar environment to see if he can remember anything.”
Xue Xi: “When are we leaving?”
Ye Li: “…The day after tomorrow. I’ve already told Xiao Xiang. He said that his parents are busy every year and don’t have time to accompany him, so he’ll accompany us home for the new year.”
Xue Xi: “?” Why didn’t she know about this?!
Just as she was about to say something to express her dissatisfaction, she heard Ye Li say, “By the way, I bought a few new books for you. You can read them on the way home and during the new year!”
“…”
Xue Xi instantly had no objections. Anyway, it was just studying. It did not matter where she did it. It did not matter if she returned to her hometown or not.
