Awooo, there are little zombies today too.

Ji Yanli realized the seriousness of the problem from her solemn expression. He nodded slightly and silently took Yu Qingyin into his room.

The room is decorated in an quaint and exquisite style, with a hammock in the center made of finely carved pear wood, which forms a sharp contrast with a modern LCD TV in the room.

"I went out tonight and ran into Velen and his experimental subjects."

Yu Qingyin's voice was calm, but it sounded like a thunderclap.

Ji Yanli was stunned, "Then..."

Yu Qingyin saw that Ji Yanli wanted to say something, so she continued.

"I was not injured. I learned from them that there were ten of them who landed in China..."

Yu Qingyin simply told Ji Yanli all the words she had gotten out of him.

As she spoke, Ji Yanli's expression became increasingly serious.

"You mean there's a traitor among us?"

Yu Qingyin took a sip of water and relaxed. "I don't rule out this possibility."

Ji Yanli pondered for a moment and nodded, "I will handle this matter. As for the situation in Country M, I will report it to my superiors."

Ji Yanli looked at Yu Qingyin's slightly furrowed brows due to a night of running around, and felt a little distressed. He raised his hand slightly, but then put it down with forbearance, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"You're tired tonight, so go to bed early." The voice was unspeakably soft.

Yu Qingyin didn't notice the subtle change in his tone. She nodded, rubbed her brows lightly, and stood up. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she heard Ji Yanli's doubtful voice.

"Why didn't you suspect me? What if I was the one who told Velen about your whereabouts?"

Yu Qingyin paused, turned to look at Ji Yanli, her eyes full of determination.

"I believe in my judgment of people and I'm leaving." She didn't doubt him because she knew that he would not collude with people from Country M to kill her.

After saying that, Yu Qingyin waved her hand and walked towards her room.

Ji Yanli watched Yu Qingyin's departing back and couldn't help but curl up a smile at the corner of his mouth, which was a silly and very worthless smile.

He couldn't help but wonder if this meant that in her heart he was a trustworthy person, and if that meant that he was a different person in her heart.

When he thought of this, Ji Yanli could no longer control the smile on his face and laughed softly.

Yu Qingyin heard the laughter and glanced back at Ji Yanli's room in surprise. What was this guy doing so crazy in the middle of the night? Why was he laughing so creepily?

Yu Qingyin withdrew her gaze in confusion and rubbed her brows. She had encountered so many weird things tonight and really needed a good rest.

She tiptoed back to her room, washed up briefly, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

The next morning

It was raining outside, but it had just subsided a little.

Yu Qingyin opened her eyes and was startled by the figure beside the bed.

After seeing clearly the figure sitting opposite her, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat up.

"Yuqing, why are you sitting next to my bed so early in the morning, staring at me like that?"

Lin Yuqing bit her lip lightly and said apologetically, "Sorry, um, I wanted to ask you last night..."

Yu Qingyin yawned, her fox eyes were a little misty, and she stared lazily at the hesitant Lin Yuqing.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. It's so uncomfortable to keep it in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuqing took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and spoke with a serious expression.

"Qingyin, are you with the boss?"

Yu Qingyin paused as she yawned, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Lin Yuqing in confusion, subconsciously denying it.

"How did I end up being with Ji Yanli? When did I ever give you this illusion?"

Lin Yuqing was also a little confused by what he said, and explained stupidly.

"I see you often go in and out with the boss, and you often whisper to him. Isn't this something lovers would do?"

Yu Qingyin couldn't help but recall in her mind that recently, because she was concerned about the people from Country M, she had been telling Ji Yanli about her discoveries in secret. This was indeed easy to be misunderstood by outsiders. This situation could be avoided after this mission was over.

She threw back the covers, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.

Lin Yuqing followed her in and continued her analysis.

"And didn't you notice that the boss treats you differently? He has never been so attentive to a girl before, taking care of your wake-up time, going out with you every night, and most importantly!"

Yu Qingyin paused while brushing her teeth. When she met Lin Yuqing's serious gaze, she felt inexplicably panicked and asked blankly.

"What's most important?"

Lin Yuqing said solemnly: "The most important thing is that you are the only one who can get close to the boss and go to his room at will. In the past, the boss and other girls always kept a safe distance."

Yu Qingyin wiped the water off her face with a towel and opened her red lips slightly as if she wanted to say something.

Lin Yuqing continued to talk to herself, "Don't tell me, Boss, that you are given special care because of your parents. I don't believe it."

Lin Yuqing paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and stared at Yu Qingyin with a serious expression.

"So, how do you feel about the boss?"

Yu Qingyin was speechless for a moment, her eyes slightly lowered, her long eyelashes hiding the complex emotions in her eyes. For the first time, she seriously examined her feelings for Ji Yanli.

Perhaps, there was indeed a faint liking for him in her heart, but she knew that she was destined not to belong to this world and should not have such an emotional bond. This would be good for both of them.

Yu Qingyin said against her will: "I don't like it."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Lin Yuqing's face, and Yu Qingyin gently raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"Why are you so depressed? Ji Yanli and I are not together. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Yu Qingyin didn't wait for Lin Yuqing to answer, walked out of the bathroom, and continued: "And I'm looking for him because I discovered some conspiracies in Country M, and I have to ask him to report to the top leaders."

Yu Qingyin's words successfully diverted Lin Yuqing's attention.

"The conspiracy of Country M? Speaking of this, I remembered that the boss was very talkative this morning. According to the boss's investigation method, could it be that someone in our team is restless and betrayed us?"

As the two were talking, they had almost finished packing and were about to go out when they ran into Ji Yanli who was walking towards them.

Ji Yanli's expression was tense, with an imperceptible hostility in his cold eyes. When his gaze fell on Yu Qingyin, it was tinged with a hint of guilt.

Yu Qingyin understood immediately after seeing his expression, "Did someone from our team really do this?"

Ji Yanli nodded gently. "We will deal with this matter after we go back and discuss it with the base center. I haven't alerted the enemy yet. In order to ensure your safety, I will send someone to keep an eye on him at all times."

Yu Qingyin nodded to show her understanding.

After a simple breakfast, the few of them drove out of the base under the watchful eyes of the leaders of the S City base.
