" Hey! No teasing! " Ying Yue pouted.
The four of them started laughing.
" Well, going back on the subject, your uncle is right, you need to go to school! I admit it's cool that I get to sleep instead of going on missions but it's so boring! Furthermore, I am not doing those exams so good luck! " Mina said.
" I know, I know, I'll go this Monday. Either way, it's just two weeks, afterward, it's going to be summer vacation! " Ying Yue cheerfully admitted.
" Exactly! So go review now! " Ying Fan gently knocked his niece's head.
" Arg! Uncle, you already know I don't need to review, I was born a genius! " Ying Yue proudly showed off.
" You arrogant brat! " Ying Fan helplessly ruffled her hair. He wanted to refute but he knew his niece better than anyone and he knew that she was definitely what she thought she was: a genius.
" Moon, don't forget that tomorrow night there is an important conference to create an alliance with US's boss that you need to attend! " Mina reminded the absent-minded Ying Yue.
" Can't you go in my place? You are my secretary either way! " Ying Yue pouted.
" No, I can't! It would be extremely rude to the boss if he knew you aren't there and we would definitely look insincere which would put the contract in danger! So you absolutely have to go! " Mina said in a strict voice while frowning.
" Fine, I got it, I got it! " the girl surrendered.
" However, I don't want to wear a dress, I want to wear what I want! " Ying Yue said her condition.
" Fine, but you have to take off your skin mask ok? " Mina proposed.
" Obviously, I'm not that dumb to let myself get recognized! " Ying Yue replied.
" Good, I'll come to pick you up. " Mina finished.
" No, it's fine. It's only at the C Square, A Hall right? It's not that far, I can go by myself! " Ying Yue said.
" Then don't be late! " Mina warned. It wasn't the ideal situation for the leader not to be escorted but she knew how stubborn Ying Yue was and that she didn't like to be watched by others. Either way, if she hasn't accepted, Ying Yue wouldn't even come so she compromised.
" Yeah, yeah, I promise! " Ying Yue laughed at Mina's strict tone.
Just as they finished, Xiao Ye's voice resonated in the room, " I'm done taking out the trash! "
" Thank you, Xiao Ye! I knew I could count on you! I'll make sure to get you the latest sports car when it comes out! " Ying Yue smiled.
" Yeah, you better! " Xiao Ye smugly said.
...
The next day, after she reviewed the contract between China and US's alliance, Ying Yue craved for a bubble tea and took her motorcycle to a small shop to buy herself one before heading to C Square.
While waiting for her drink, Mina called her to rush her and Ying Yue could only exasperatedly let her vent.
Ying Yue hid her motorcycle in a dark alley and walked to A Hall. Earphones plugged in, hands in her pocket with a lollipop in her mouth, Ying Yue wore a simple oversized T-Shirt and a pair of leggings. Her pretty face and her lazy outfit made her actually look very cute but not imposing at all like an underground boss.
On the surface, C Square was an abandoned place where nobody lived but in fact, it was a very important base in China's underground work. However, because it was an abandoned place, it was an infamous criminal den. Basically, you don't casually stroll around here like it's your garden...which is exactly what Ying Yue was currently doing...
" Hey! You, over there! Give us your money! " a man's rough voice sounded.
Ying Yue ignored the stupid man and continued to walk.
" Hey! Did you just ignore me? " the man questioned as he walked to her trying to grab her shoulder.
However, his little follower had stopped him before he grabbed Ying Yue and muttered in an uncertain voice, " Boss, I'm not sure we should mess with her. Look at her, it's like she's strolling in her backyard, I feel like she is very familiar with this place and someone like her, shouldn't be messed with. "
" Why do you worry so much? Look at her, she is just a skinny girl that is barely twenty! What can she do to us? Come on! Just let me do it and we'll win a few bucks! " the man assured him with a confident voice.
After listening to his boss, the little follower hesitatingly let go of his boss and backed up, " Good luck boss..."
The man confidently walked to the girl as he approached her more and more, he was fascinated by her pretty face but more importantly, he felt like he already saw her somewhere.
" Strange, have I met her somewhere? " the man asked himself, " No way, I wouldn't have forgotten such a pretty lady! "
He draped his big arm over Ying Yue's shoulder and threatened her, " Pretty lady, give me your money and you won't be hurt! I'll even let you be my woman! "
Ying Yue's mouth corner twitched before asking the stinky man, " Are you threatening me right now? ", her killer gaze directed to the man.
