Xia Yue ran out of the villa and saw a black car parked outside, with a man in a black suit standing beside it.
"Sorry, I overslept." Xia Yue apologized, looking at him.
"That's fine, Miss Xia, please get in." The man in the suit shook his head, spoke respectfully, and opened the car door for her.
"Thank you," responded Xia Yue, and promptly got into the car.
The man in the suit seated himself back in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and asked Xia Yue, "Shall we leave now, Miss Xia?"
"Alright, let's go." Xia Yue nodded.
He nodded in return and promptly drove her to their destination.
After they left, the villa's door opened once more, and Xia Xi glanced bemusedly at the receding car.
"I didn't expect them to be here for her. I thought they were here to cause trouble for me," Xia Xi remarked.
"That man is not ordinary; he emanates a strong aura of righteousness, as if he is a soldier," a male voice added.
"As long as it's not us they're after. It seemed as though she went willingly, so we don't need to involve ourselves at the moment," Xia Xi said, and then closed the door to return inside.
While Xia Yue was in the black-suited man's car, she asked him to stop at a breakfast stall, where she casually bought breakfast to eat.
She was really hungry.
Then they continued the ride, arriving at their destination after two hours.
She followed the man in the black suit into a conference room.
Inside, she found familiar faces - Yan Mo and Chen Bing, along with two unfamiliar men. One was in a military uniform, and the other sporting a white lab coat appeared to be in his sixties.
"Commander Wei, Miss Xia has arrived," the man in the suit greeted the military uniformed man with a salute.
"Alright, thank you. You can leave us now. We need to have a discussion with her," Commander Wei responded, nodding and smiling at him.
"Understood." The man in the suit exited the room and closed the door behind him.
"Hello everyone," Xia Yue greeted them, a forced smile on her face as she was quite nervous.
"Hello, my surname is Wei. Take it easy, we're just here to ask you to repeat what you told Yan Mo and Chen Bing," Commander Wei responded with a soft smile.
"Alright." Xia Yue nodded and chose to sit closer to Yan Mo.
"Miss Xia, you wouldn't mind us putting you on a lie detector, would you?" Commander Wei asked with a smile.
"No, not at all." Xia Yue shook her head.
With this, the man in the lab coat fitted her with a lie detector. After he finished, he nodded at Commander Wei.
"Let's get started then," Commander Wei said, once everything was set. "So, Yan Mo and Chen Bing mentioned that you wanted to hand over a powerful system, which contains high-tech items. Is that true?"
"That's true. I can show you." Xia Yue nodded and called out, "Virtual screen show."
To their astonishment, a virtual screen appeared in front of Xia Yue.
Commander Wei and the man in the lab coat exchanged surprised glances.
"You can come over and look at the screen. Only I can operate it," Xia Yue explained.
Commander Wei immediately stood and walked over, followed by the man in the lab coat, Yan Mo, and Chen Bing.
They watched the screen with curiosity, instructing Xia Yue to open the pages they were interested in.
Thirty minutes later, they all returned to their seats.
"Miss Xia, the items in your system are of great significance to our country. We appreciate you letting us know about it. We will do our utmost to help you complete your tasks, but we hope that once the tasks are completed, the items exchanged will prioritize the ones beneficial to our country," Commander Wei said to Xia Yue.
"That's not an issue. As long as I can occasionally exchange for some items I want, all remaining points earned can be used to exchange for whatever you want," Xia Yue responded contemplatively and gave a nod of agreement.
