“If you don’t go over, Bai Nan might just come here himself.”
Bai Nan, Zhuang Yan’s ex-boyfriend. They had confirmed their relationship since college, worked together for a few years after graduation, until Bai Nan asked her if she could quit her job because he wanted a wife who could manage the household and provide a stable support.
After considering for two hours, Zhuang Yan broke up with Bai Nan.
Half a year later, Bai Nan found his ideal wife candidate, who also brought him good fortune, helping him secure the position of Chief Inspector at the Special Supervision Bureau. This seemed one rank lower than the Director, but carried immense power, even surpassing the Director’s.
“Let him come if he wants. Anyway, I plan to retire here with you,” Sally said after taking a couple more bites of noodles, pushed them aside, and reached for Zhou Cheng’s cigarettes.

According to the information, Zhuang Yan was a smoker, and this detail couldn’t be missed.
Zhou Cheng held her back, “No, you’re not allowed to smoke here.”
“Then I’ll go outside to smoke.” Saying that, Sally got up promptly and walked out of the office to borrow a cigarette from someone else.
Soon, Sally had a cigarette in her mouth, provocatively raising an eyebrow at Zhou Cheng back in the office, charming yet mischievous.
Zhou Cheng raised his hand to rub his face, trying not to look at her.
The phone rang.
The caller was Bai Nan.
Zhou Cheng frowned slightly before answering, “Senior brother.”
“I’ll be in the upper city tonight, arrange a dinner meeting for me, I need to talk face-to-face with Zhuang Yan.” A deep, authoritative male voice came through the phone, tinged with a hint of urgency.
Zhou Cheng was unimpressed, glancing outside his office at the beautiful woman who was chatting enthusiastically with his men.
“She seems to have her heart set on staying here.”
“Impossible!”
…
The eradication of the extremist organization known as the Ice Wolf Legion on Messiah Island was a joint action by the Five-Nation Alliance.
That is, the Comille Duchy, the Scarlet Duchy, the Boyava Duchy, the Theo Duchy, and the Ice and Fire Empire. The entire Ice and Fire World was managed by these five kingdoms.
The headquarters of the Special Supervision Bureau was located in Yanzhou, the capital of the Ice and Fire Empire, with sub-bureaus in each duchy. The Huan City Sub-bureau was located in the Scarlet Duchy.
After the eradication, the whole of Messiah Island was leveled to the ground.
Bai Nan received the news and flew directly from Yanzhou headquarters to Messiah Island, in search of Zhuang Yan.
He found nothing.
Now she was right here in front of him, and Bai Nan felt as if he was dreaming.
“How’s your health?” he asked, with concern apparent in his voice.
Sally sat with her legs crossed, lazily propping her cheek with one hand, eyeing the man opposite her. His appearance was also quite rare; with deep chestnut hair and an oval face, a handsome and perfect nose and lips, he was like an exquisite work of art crafted by a master sculptor. Particularly, those dark blue eyes had the sharpness of a hawk, emitting a frosty, arrow-like fierceness.
“I heard from Director Zhou that your wedding was quite a sensation, with Your Majesty as the matchmaker, envoys from all the duchies attending, and titans of all circles gathered. With these connections, your future is set to be a broad highway, as vast as the sea for the fish to leap, and as high as the sky for the birds to fly. Don’t squander this fortune,” she said.
Bai Nan had many more things to say, but she abruptly cut him off, leaving him feeling as if a large hole had been punched in his heart, something draining away, leaving him emptier and emptier.
The waiter served a table full of dishes.
Sally borrowed Bai Nan’s phone to call Zhou Cheng, “Director Zhou, come join us for a meal. We’ve got a table full of good dishes to replenish you.”
Zhou Cheng was restless in his office and calmed down immediately upon receiving her call, knowing that Bai Nan hadn’t led her astray again.
“Ah, I’m actually quite hungry. Shall I come over now?”
“Hurry up, the dishes won’t wait for anyone.”
“Alright~”
After hanging up, Zhou Cheng did not move. Instead, he lit a cigarette, and called out, “Xiaoliu, no need for you to be on duty tonight, head back early.”
“Thanks, Director Zhou, you’re looking extra sharp today,” Xiaoliu, who had not been in the bureau for long with a lively personality that made him likable, remarked.
“Less chatter, if you don’t leave now, you’re not going anywhere,” Zhou Cheng exhaled a puff of smoke.
Xiaoliu immediately packed his things and ran off with his backpack on.
Zhou Cheng turned off the lights everywhere except for a small lamp in his own office, then opened a classified document, with a special annotation for “New Human.”
…
Bai Nan left.
Sally stood at the hotel entrance, watching Bai Nan’s car disappear. The low-profile black bulletproof sedan melded into the deep night and quickly vanished from sight.
The hotel waiter packed the leftover food into a thermal box and handed it to Sally, “Here are your items, guest.”
“Thank you.” Sally smiled.
For a moment, the waiter was entranced, thinking the woman before him was so beautiful, not the slightest bit inferior to those top celebrities.
Back at the bureau, Sally, carrying the thermal box, headed straight for Zhou Cheng’s office.
Seeing the door open, she knocked and entered, “Why didn’t you come over?”
Zhou Cheng didn’t look up, “You were on a date with your ex-boyfriend, why would I go and be the third wheel?”
“Wasn’t that your scheme? Do you want the leftovers or not?” Sally placed the thermal box on the coffee table.
“You’re a lifesaver.” Zhou Cheng stood up from his desk and tossed her the classified documents, “Bai Nan agreed that you can temporarily work at the Huanyang Sub-bureau on a loaned basis. Take a look at these.”
“What’s this?” Sally picked up the thick stack of classified documents.
“New human species?” The words marked on top.
Zhou Cheng opened the thermal box, took out a half-drunk bottle of red wine and a portion of roast lamb chops, to comfort his hunger.
“The new human species emerged ten years ago when the climate turned into the ice age, a very small portion of people who suddenly manifested. Some experts say this is the future evolutionary trend of humans.”
“A total of 54?”
“Just in Huan City, those clearly known to have awakened some kind of potential as the new human species.”
“So why give this to me?”
“There’s intelligence that among these 54 new human individuals, there’s the new leader of the extremist organization Twilight Night, named Night.”
“Male or female?”
“Unknown, it’s up to you to find out.”
“Okay, then I’ll head back first.” Sally got up to leave.
“The documents?”
“No need, I have a photographic memory.”
“Impressive! If you said you were a new human, I’d believe it.”
“I might give birth to a new human in the future.”
“…You’re awesome!”
…
Zhuang Yan owned a little house in Huan City.
With an area of fifty to sixty square meters, it was quite empty, except for some basic living supplies in the kitchen. The living room was completely bare, and the bedroom had an iron frame bed that creaked as soon as you sat on it.
[Xiaomei, it seems Zhuang Yan is quite poor.]
[Balance: -9.7 yuan.]
[…How did it even get into negative numbers? The house isn’t mortgaged, is it?]
[Yes, and tomorrow is the day for the bank deduction.]
[…]
She rummaged through the bag she brought back, which contained Zhuang Yan’s belongings, given to her by Zhou Cheng.
Inside was an old cell phone, out of charge.
After searching around, she found the charging cable in the kitchen socket, plugged in the phone to charge, and then opened the fridge. Apart from beverages, there was nothing else.
She grabbed a bottle of water.
Just as she was about to open it, she paused and turned her head toward the living room…
A white fox, with its mesmerizingly dark eyes sparkling, conveyed a message – “I’m really pissed off right now, come and comfort me!”
