Jiang Shen didn’t expect Ou Zhenglin to reveal his identity to a young lady. He was stunned for a moment before slowly saying, “Hello.”
“Old Master Ou, the rules of the 117 organization were set by you. Unless required during the mission, we are not allowed to casually expose our identities. Have you forgotten?” Jiang Xiaoli, standing beside Jiang Shen, said with a slightly unhappy expression.
“Xiaoli, how can you speak to Old Master Ou like that? Hurry up and apologize!” Jiang Shen immediately looked at her reproachfully.
However, Jiang Xiaoli clearly did not intend to apologize. She looked at Ou Zhenglin with faint disdain.
Even if the 117 Special Forces was founded by this old man and his wife, so what? They were already so old that they would probably have to pant every few steps they took. She really didn’t know if her uncle’s brain had been submerged in water or something for him to insist on inviting this nearly 200-year-old couple out of retirement.
What could they do if they left the mountains? Any Esper could take their lives easily.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaoli had no idea that the curses in her heart had been heard by Ou Zhenglin word for word.
As long as he wanted to, he could hear the thoughts in the hearts of others.
Ou Zhenglin looked at her with more scrutiny.
But before he could say anything, Chi Jiao looked at Jiang Xiaoli and smiled. “Miss, your words are really funny. Since you know that the rules of 117 were set by my grandfather, my grandfather naturally has the right to change them if he says so. As for you, you’re so young and yet you have no respect for your elders at all. You even have such an attitude towards your former seniors. I’m really curious as to how you managed to join the 117 Special Forces…”
At this point, her sweet and pleasant voice suddenly deepened as she looked at Jiang Shen. “Or perhaps Vice Head Jiang has always been disciplining his subordinates in this way? Is that why some people feel so secure, because they have someone backing them?”
Others might not know, but how could she not know?
The 117 Special Forces was just a civilian organization in the beginning. It was established by her grandparents when they were young, with some volunteers to serve the people.
It was later taken over by ZF and the name was then changed to 117. With the serial number system, it became part of the ZF organization.
However, because 117 was brought up by her grandfather and grandmother, it was able to achieve what it was today. Therefore, even though her grandparents had retired, they still held some important rights in their hands.
It was because her grandparents were worthy. Without them, 117 would not be what it was today.
Liu Ruhua and Ou Zhenglin didn’t say anything when they heard Chi Jiao. Instead, they looked at Jiang Shen.
Jiang Shen didn’t expect the seemingly cute and harmless girl in front of him to speak so sharply. His expression turned ugly.
This young lady’s tone was clearly lecturing him.
Because of Chi Jiao’s ruthless words, Jiang Xiaoli’s expression did not look any better.
When her face turned cold, she looked even meaner.
“Do you have any place to speak here?” Having never suffered any injustice, Jiang Xiaoli immediately said as she glared at Chi Jiao.
“If there’s no place for Jiaojiao to speak, then there’s even less room for you to speak,” Liu Ruhua, who had been silent all this while, said slowly. She looked sharply at Jiang Xiaoli with a look of displeasure. “Young lady, it’s a good thing to be young and proud, but it’s not good to be overly arrogant.”
Under Liu Ruhua’s gaze, Jiang Xiaoli felt like a mountain was pressing down on her, causing her to subconsciously feel fearful of the old lady.
