On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

The midday sun shines on the earth, and the birds are jumping happily on the branches, chirping, and the clear and melodious sounds are like a string of notes.

Shichu slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of sleepiness in her eyes. After rolling around on the bed for a few times, she pulled her left hand out from under the quilt and took a look at the light computer on her wrist.

It’s just past eleven o’clock, I might as well take a nap. I don’t have anything to do today anyway.

She turned over, hugged the quilt, rubbed her cheek on it, feeling the remaining warmth, and gradually, her eyelids began to become heavy again.

"Ding-ling-ling--" The doorbell suddenly rang, and the sound was particularly abrupt in the silent room.

Shi Chu frowned slightly, feeling annoyed.

It’s so noisy. Who is that in the middle of the day? She hates being disturbed when she sleeps.

"Who is it?" she muttered, her voice somewhat unhappy.

But there was no response from outside the door, and the doorbell continued to ring persistently, again and again, as if urging something.

Shi Chu sighed helplessly, crawled out from the quilt reluctantly, rubbed his eyes, and walked towards the door in his slippers.

It was so annoying. Who on earth was disturbing her at this time? She didn't know many people in this world.

Shi Chu stood at the door. She did not rush to open the door, but first turned on the surveillance camera on the door to see who was coming.

From the surveillance video, she clearly saw two people wearing the uniforms of the main star Xilia security team standing outside the door. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, and her mind was racing.

Was it because of what happened yesterday? No, it should be the people wearing the uniforms of the Outer Rim Security Team who came to see her.

She suppressed the uneasiness and suspicion that was rising in her heart and quickly calmed down.

Now that things have come to your door, you can’t hide away. Just act according to the circumstances.

She calmly grasped the door handle and slowly opened the door.

The two people outside the door couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the door finally open.

The older alpha took a step forward, opened his ID, looked at her seriously and said, "Hello, Miss Shichu. I am the captain of the 12th Squadron of the Xilia Security Brigade. We suspect that you are related to an incident. Please come with us now."

Shi Chu looked at his ID carefully and found it was genuine.

It was really annoying. She was a law-abiding federal citizen who didn't steal or rob, so how could she be visited by the security team?

Her expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "Okay, but I need to change my clothes first."

The young alpha outside the door subconsciously glanced at the white nightgown she was wearing, his eyes slid across the small part of her white calf exposed. His face turned slightly red, and he quickly looked away, coughing lightly to hide his discomfort.

She turned and walked towards the bedroom. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned back and looked at them and said, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

"No, thanks." The young alpha said hurriedly, as if he was shocked, with a hint of haste and embarrassment in his voice, "We can just wait outside."

"Oh." Shi Chu just responded lightly, and then continued to walk towards the bedroom.

She was worried that the two of them might run away out of fear, so she asked them if they wanted to come in and wait. It seemed that they believed her, and that was true, since she was just a weak beta.

That’s right, in just a short period of time she had already made up her mind. No matter what happened, she would first establish the image of herself as a weak and ignorant beta, commonly known as playing dumb.

She closed the bedroom door and picked out a sports suit from the closet that looked well-behaved and innocent.

Outside the door, the older security guard was educating the young alpha, "Look at you, why are you so unstable? Don't forget our responsibilities."

His voice was low and a little harsh.

"This beta involves a top family. I have told you many times before that when you are on a mission, don't be distracted, stay calm, and do your job well."

The young alpha lowered his head in shame: "I know, I just lost my composure."

The two people outside the door were silent for a moment. The older security guard sighed and patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, this is your first mission. Be careful next time. Don't do it again."

After a while, Shi Chu changed her clothes and walked out of the room. She changed into a light-colored suit and tied her hair into a high ponytail. She looked extremely well-behaved and simple, like a pure girl who was ignorant of the world.

She looked at the two security guards and said calmly, "Okay, let's go."

The three of them got on the aircraft that they had driven, which had the security team's exclusive logo on it.

No one spoke in the car and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Shi Chu stared blankly at the scenery passing by outside the window.

Soon, they arrived at the Federal Security Headquarters.

The Sheriff's Court is one of the federal law enforcement agencies, mainly responsible for various civil incidents and security, and the Sheriff's Department is its headquarters.

Shi Chu looked up at the solemn building in front of him, took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and followed the two security guards into this unknown place.

As soon as you enter the lobby of the General Administration, you are greeted by a solemn and serious atmosphere.

The smooth marble floor reflected their figures, and the high ceiling gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The reception desk is located in the center, and the staff coming and going are busy and orderly handling various affairs.

They led Shi Chu along the wide corridor, their footsteps clearly audible in the silent space.

Soon they arrived at an interrogation room and the older security officer gently pushed open the door.

The lighting in the interrogation room was dim. A cold metal table and a few chairs were placed in the middle, and there were a few strange machines next to them whose uses were unknown.

"Miss Shichu, please wait here for a moment. Someone will come to ask you some questions shortly. You just need to answer truthfully." The older sheriff said.

Shi Chu sat silently in the seat he designated, her hands tightly clasped together, and she looked around somewhat uneasily.

"Um, can I ask what exactly happened?" she asked softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"Miss Shichu, someone will explain the specific situation to you in detail later. Now you just need to wait here calmly."

He glanced at the beta girl who was pretending to be calm but still looked a little scared. He hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "You don't have to be afraid. These are just some necessary inquiries."

Shi Chu bit her lip and nodded slightly to show that she understood.

Time seemed to stand still, and no one spoke.

She sat there, her hands still tightly clasped, her palms already slightly sweaty.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the interrogation room was finally gently pushed open.

A group of people walked in, led by a serious-looking middle-aged female beta. She was wearing a neat uniform and looked at Shi Chu sharply.

"Ms. Shichu, I am the specialist in charge of this inquiry."

Her voice was cold and emotionless: "From now on, I will ask you some questions, and I hope you will answer them truthfully."
