“If you don’t go, Bai Nan might come in person.”

Bai Nan, Zhuang Yan's ex-boyfriend. The two started dating in college and worked together for several years after graduation. Bai Nan asked her if he could quit his job, as he wanted to find a wife who could manage the household and provide stability.

After considering it for two hours, Zhuang Yan broke up with Bai Nan.

Six months later, Bai Nan found his ideal wife, who was also very lucky for him, helping him to become the chief inspector of the Special Inspection Bureau. Although she was only one level below the director, she had a lot of power, even more than the director.

"Come on, come on. Anyway, I'm planning to retire here with you." After eating a couple more bites of noodles, Su Yan pushed the noodles aside and reached for Zhou Cheng's cigarette.

According to the information, Zhuang Yan is a smoker; this detail should not be overlooked.

Zhou Cheng pressed down, "No, you're not allowed to smoke here."

"Then I'll go outside for a smoke." With that, Su Yan got up decisively and walked out of the office to borrow a cigarette from someone else.

Soon, a cigarette appeared on Su Yan's lips, and she even raised her eyebrows provocatively at Zhou Cheng in the office, exuding a roguish yet charming aura.

Zhou Cheng raised his hand to rub his face, trying to hide his gaze from her.

The phone rang.

The caller was Bai Nan.

Zhou Cheng frowned before answering the phone, "Senior brother."

"I'll be arriving in Shangcheng tonight. Arrange a dinner for me; I need to meet with Zhuang Yan in person." A deep, imposing male voice came from the phone, tinged with a hint of anxiety.

Zhou Cheng didn't take it seriously and looked up at the beautiful woman outside the office, chatting enthusiastically with his group of subordinates.

"She seems determined to stay here."

"Absolutely impossible!"

……

The operation to eliminate the extremist group Ice Wolves on Messiah Island was a joint operation by five countries.

These are the Duchy of Komiller, the Duchy of Crimson, the Duchy of Boyawa, the Duchy of Theo, and the Ice and Fire Empire. The entire world of Ice and Fire is governed by these five kingdoms.

The Special Inspection Bureau's headquarters is located in Yanzhou, the capital of the Ice and Fire Empire, with branch offices in each duchy. The Hucheng branch is located in the Crimson Duchy.

After the operation, the entire island of Messiah was razed to the ground.

Upon receiving the news, Bai Nan flew directly from the Yanzhou headquarters to Messiah Island to search for Zhuang Yan.

Got nothing.

The person was right in front of him, and Bai Nan felt as if he were dreaming.

"How are you... feeling?" His concern was evident in his words.

Su Yan crossed her legs, lazily resting her chin on her hand, gazing at the man opposite her. His beauty was rare indeed. Deep chestnut hair, an oval face, a perfectly sculpted nose and lips, like a masterpiece sculpted by a master craftsman. Especially striking were his dark blue eyes, sharp as a hawk's, radiating a chilling brilliance.

"I heard from Director Zhou that your wedding was quite a sensation. His Majesty acted as matchmaker, envoys from various duchies came, and bigwigs from all walks of life gathered. With these connections, your future is bright and promising. Don't waste this good fortune."

Bai Nan originally had a lot more to say, but in the end, she swallowed it all back down her throat. It felt like a huge hole had been punched in her heart, something was flowing away, and she felt increasingly empty.

The waiter brought out a table full of dishes.

Su Yan borrowed Bai Nan's phone and called Zhou Cheng, "Director Zhou, come over for dinner! There's a table full of good food to help you recover."

Zhou Cheng was restless in his office, but when he received her call, he immediately felt relieved, knowing that she had not been led astray by Bai Nan.

"Oh, I'm starving. Shall I come over now?"

"Hurry up, the food will get cold before we know it."

"Okay~"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cheng didn't move. Instead, he lit a cigarette and called out, "Xiao Liu, you don't need to be on duty anymore. Go home early."

"Thank you, Director Zhou. You look incredibly handsome today." Xiao Liu had only been with the bureau for a short time; he was lively and well-liked.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't leave if it gets late." Zhou Cheng exhaled a puff of smoke.

Xiao Liu immediately packed his things, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and ran off.

Zhou Cheng turned off all the lights except for a small lamp in his office, then opened a confidential document marked with the words "New Humans".

……

Bai Nan is gone.

Su Yan watched Bai Nan's car leave from the hotel entrance. The understated black bulletproof sedan drove into the dark night and quickly disappeared from sight.

The hotel waiter packed the food that Su Yan had prepared into an insulated box and handed it to her, saying, "Here's your food, sir."

"Thank you." Su Yan smiled.

For a moment, the waiter was in a daze, thinking that the woman in front of him was so beautiful, no less so than those big stars.

Back at the bureau, Su Yan carried the insulated box and went straight to Zhou Cheng's office.

Seeing the door was open, he knocked and went inside. "Why aren't you coming over?"

Zhou Cheng didn't even look up. "You're on a date with your ex-boyfriend. Why would I be a third wheel?"

"Wasn't that something you arranged? Leftovers, do you want some or not?" Su Yan placed the insulated box on the coffee table.

"Help!" Zhou Cheng got up from his desk and tossed her the confidential documents. "Bai Nan has agreed that you can temporarily work at the Hucheng branch on secondment. Take a look at these."

"What is this?" Su Yan picked up a thick stack of confidential documents.

"New Humans?" was the label above.

Zhou Cheng opened the insulated box, took out a half-empty bottle of red wine and a plate of roasted lamb chops to appease his stomach.

"The new humans are a very small group of people who suddenly emerged ten years ago when the climate turned into an ice age. Some experts say that this is the future evolutionary trend of humankind."

"A total of 54 people?"

"Only in Hucheng do we know for certain what kind of potential these new humans have awakened."

"So why are you giving me this?"

"There's news that among these 54 new humans is Night, the new leader of the extremist organization Dawn Night."

"Male and female?"

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so I'll leave it to you to find out."

"Okay, I'll head back now." Su Yan got up to leave.

"material?"

"No need, I have a photographic memory."

"Amazing! I'd believe you if you told me you're a new human."

"I will give birth to a new kind of human in the future."

"...You're awesome!"

……

Zhuang Yan has a small house in Hucheng.

The room was about 50 or 60 square meters and completely empty. Apart from some basic household items in the kitchen, the living room was empty. The bedroom had a metal bed frame that creaked when you sat on it.

[Xiaomei, is Zhuang Yan short of money?]

[Deposits -9.7 yuan.]

[…How did it turn into a negative number? I hope I still have a mortgage to pay?]

Yes, tomorrow is the day the bank will deduct the payment.

【…】

I rummaged through the bag she brought back; it contained Zhuang Yan's belongings, which Zhou Cheng had given to her through a third party.

There was an old cell phone inside, but it was out of power.

I looked around and found a phone charger in the kitchen socket, then plugged it in. Then I opened the refrigerator; besides drinks, there was nothing else inside.

I took a bottle of water.

Just as I was about to twist it open, my hand stopped, and I turned to look towards the living room...

A pure white fox with captivatingly dark eyes gleamed—"I'm really upset right now, come and coax me!"
