Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 82 First Encounter with Ye Ze
It's so comfortable to sleep until I naturally wake up!
I stretched and then checked my cultivation technique, finding that everything was working normally.
Suddenly, I noticed the lotus flower floating to the side; it turned out to be a little cutie.
Seeing her sleeping peacefully, I couldn't bear to wake her, so I tiptoed out of bed, carefully bypassed the lotus flowers, and went to the bathroom.
I quickly washed up and got ready to start the new day.
Today I have an important mission—to go to the Cultivator Management Bureau.
Actually, I made this decision because I glanced at my phone when I woke up.
One of the latest messages caught my attention.
"Advance Officer, hello. This is Xiaoze from the Cultivator Management Bureau. There's a matter that requires your personal attention. Today, a large-scale disappearance of ordinary people and cultivators occurred in City D. According to our personnel, the scene was very clean, leaving no trace, but there was a trace of strange gas remaining. This gas has been sent back to the Cultivator Management Bureau, and we hope you can come and inspect it."
This message made me realize the seriousness of the situation.
These disappearances may conceal a huge conspiracy and danger.
As a member of the Cultivator Management Bureau, I have a responsibility to protect the safety of the people and solve this mystery.
So, without hesitation, I agreed to Xiaoze's request and sent him an "OK," preparing to head to the Cultivator Management Bureau immediately.
As soon as I went downstairs, I smelled an enticing aroma. It turned out that Aunt Jiang and Aunt Zhao were busy making breakfast in the kitchen.
The aroma made my stomach rumble, but I had more important things to do, so I didn't care about eating and just wanted to get out of the house as soon as possible.
Just then, Aunt Jiang came out carrying a steaming plate of food. Seeing that I was about to leave, she grabbed my arm and said, "Miss Lele, you haven't had breakfast yet. How can you just leave like this?"
I felt a surge of anxiety, but I didn't dare to forcefully break free from Aunt Jiang's hand, because I knew she was just an ordinary person, and if I used too much force, I might hurt her.
So I patiently explained, "Aunt Jiang, I really have an urgent matter and don't have time for breakfast."
However, Aunt Jiang refused to give up. She frowned and said, "No matter how urgent it is, we can't let him go hungry!"
Her eyes revealed concern and worry, as if I were her child.
"Aunt Jiang, I really don't have time! I have an urgent matter to attend to and must leave immediately. I will definitely have a good meal after I finish this. Please let me go."
I said urgently, and tried to break free from Aunt Jiang's grip on my hand.
At the same time, I asked curiously, "By the way, why did you come here today?"
Aunt Jiang grabbed my hand tightly and dragged me towards the restaurant, muttering, "We thought you should come back. Besides, Young Master Han and Young Master Sikong specifically told us to take good care of you. Look how thin you've become."
“Aunt Jiang, I understand, but please let go. I really have something very important to take care of.”
I explained anxiously, hoping to persuade Aunt Jiang to let me leave.
However, Aunt Jiang seemed unmoved and continued to firmly drag me towards the restaurant.
Just then, Aunt Zhao came over carrying a lunchbox bag and said to me with a smile, "Old Jiang, don't use too much force, be careful not to hurt Miss Lele's arm. I've already prepared food for her, she can eat it on the way."
Hearing Aunt Zhao's words, Aunt Jiang loosened her grip slightly, but still refused to let go easily.
She frowned and said, "Old Zhao, won't she feel uncomfortable eating on the way? No, she has to eat at home."
Aunt Zhao smiled helplessly and advised, "Old Jiang, let Miss Lele go. She looks like she has something urgent to attend to. How about this, get her a glass of milk or soy milk so she can have something to eat first?"
Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment, then finally let go of my hand.
But looking at Aunt Jiang's determined expression, I knew that she wouldn't let me leave unless I finished my milk or soy milk first.
Left with no other choice, I picked up the two cups and quickly drank the milk and soy milk.
Seeing how quickly I was eating, Aunt Jiang said with concern, "Drink slowly, don't choke."
Her care warmed my heart and made me realize that even in the most stressful moments, there are still people around me who care about me.
"Here, Aunt Jiang, look, I've drunk it all. And thank you, Aunt Zhao. I'll take this and eat it when I'm hungry. I'll be going now."
She sighed softly and said, "Okay, then remember to eat well, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."
I looked at Aunt Zhao gratefully, thanking her for helping me out of that predicament. Aunt Zhao smiled and handed me a cup of hot milk, saying with concern, "Miss Lele, remember to eat first if you're hungry. Also, remember to be careful on the road, and contact us anytime if you need anything."
I took the lunchbox bag that had been prepared for me; it was heavy with the care and concern the aunties had shown me.
Then, I rushed out of the house in a great hurry.
As I was leaving, I bumped into Li Yi and his men who were on patrol outside. They looked at me in surprise at how hurried I was.
"Sister Le, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going? Let me take you!" Li Si asked quickly.
Li Si is an all-rounder, capable of driving all kinds of vehicles, so he volunteered first.
"I need to get to the management bureau right away; there's an urgent matter to attend to. Li Si, could you please drive me there in the fastest and safest way possible?" I said anxiously.
The others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness, as if to say, "Why are our driving skills inferior to Li Si's?"
Everyone knew that this was not only because of this incident, but also because Li Si had unique driving talent and skills.
Except for Li Si, all of Li Yi to Li Ershi realized that they needed to improve their personal skills, so they all began targeted training.
They hope that through continuous efforts, they can catch up with Li Si's level.
Li Si is indeed a skilled driver; his speed and technique are truly astonishing.
This journey would normally take at least half an hour, even without traffic, but he arrived at his destination in just 13 minutes.
Such speed drew the attention of others and made them take notice of Li Si's abilities.
Li Si was waiting for me downstairs, while I took the private elevator directly to the floor where my master's office was located.
After entering the office, I went straight to my master's seat and slowly sat down.
He rested his chin on his hands, his brows furrowed, his mind racing as he pondered how to deal with the predicament before him.
At the same time, I also began to consider whether I should contact the person named Ozawa.
After all, he may possess some crucial information that could help solve the problem.
Just as I was lost in thought, a crisp knock on the door interrupted my reverie.
"Please come in," I said softly, snapping out of my reverie.
The door slowly opened, and a ray of light shone through the crack, illuminating the space in front of the door.
A young and handsome man stood at the door, wearing a light gray tracksuit and looking very energetic.
The color of his sportswear complemented his temperament perfectly, further highlighting his youthful energy.
He was holding a tray with a bottle and a thick notebook on it.
The bottle seemed to contain some kind of liquid, shimmering with a faint light, while the notebook was thick and heavy, as if carrying important information.
When the man saw me sitting at the desk, his eyes widened slightly in surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
He quickly composed himself and then walked steadily toward me.
"Hello, Vanguard Officer. This is Ye Ze, the one who sent you this message. This contains the strange gas, along with detailed information about it."
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying a sense of composure.
Perhaps they were a little surprised by my age, since they already had my photo inside.
However, I didn't dwell on those details and instead smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you. Ozawa, right? Just put the things here. You can call me Miler, no need to call me Vanguard."
Upon hearing my words, Ye Ze nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
He gently placed the tray on the desk, then stepped aside and waited quietly for further instructions.
"Xiao Ze, could you please tell me where these missing people went missing?" Looking at that thick stack of documents, it would be better to just ask him directly.
"No trouble at all. They all disappeared in an abandoned factory in D City. Before they disappeared, they were told that the factory was going to reopen, and they were the people who were hired there."
"By the way, there are both men and women. As for why cultivators also went in, I looked at their information and they were all people with poor cultivation and bad family conditions. I guess they went there to earn some money to buy medicinal herbs."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown.
What secrets does this abandoned factory hold?
Why would it attract so many people, and why would they mysteriously disappear?
Could this involve some kind of evil force or conspiracy?
A series of questions flooded my mind, making me feel that things were becoming increasingly complicated and difficult.
Meanwhile, for those who are missing, time is of the essence; every minute and every second could mean life or death.
We must find clues as soon as possible, unravel this mystery, and save those innocent lives.
With that in mind, I took a deep breath and decided to go all out, not to overlook any detail, and to find out the truth!
A series of crisp and pleasant sounds rang out. I looked down at the screen of my phone and saw two words clearly displayed on the caller ID: Mr. Li.
I quickly pressed the answer button and held the phone close to my ear.
The anxious voice of Old Li came from the other end of the phone: "Young Master, have you arrived at the station yet? I had Xiaoze give you that task. I just learned that another person also needs to go to the abandoned factory to start work today. I will send someone to take you there. Please be careful!"
I calmly replied, "Okay, Mr. Li, don't worry. Also, I've relayed everything you wanted to say to my master to him, word for word. He even wrote you a letter, which I'll leave at the front desk later; you can have someone pick it up."
Old Master Li said gratefully, "Thank you so much, young master."
I interrupted him impatiently, "Stop calling me Young Master, just call me Lele."
Old Master Li quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Young Master Lele, is this alright?"
I sighed and rubbed my forehead in exasperation. "Call me whatever you want. I'm heading to the abandoned factory now. Don't forget to bring that person to me."
After saying that, I hung up the phone and strode towards the office door.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ze couldn't control his expression again; his jaw almost dropped.
I got up and walked to his side, then casually took his hand and pushed it up to his chin.
"Let's go, it's not far from D City, let's drive there."
Only then did Ye Ze realize, "Driving? That's too much trouble. I'll arrange to buy you a plane ticket."
I ignored him and picked up my phone to call Li Si. "Li Si, I'm asking you, how long would it take you to drive from here to D City?"
Thoughtfully, he turned on speakerphone, so that Ye Ze, who was following behind and wanted to say something, would stop talking after hearing the name Li Si.
"Sister Lele, it takes a normal person 8 hours, but I can only manage 3 and a half hours. That is, if I switch to an off-road vehicle, otherwise it will only take 5 and a half hours with my current car."
"Then let's switch to an off-road vehicle. I'll go down now, and you can change the car first."
"Okay, I'll get it done right away."
Ye Ze followed me into the elevator like a good boy. His tall figure standing next to me made him look like a cute and obedient child.
Although I am 1.85 meters tall, I am still a bit shorter than him.
After stepping out of the elevator, I took the mysterious letter out of my spatial ring, walked steadily to the front desk, and handed it to the receptionist.
"This letter is for Elder Li. He will send someone to pick it up later, so please keep it safe."
"Yes, sir. Old Li just called and said he'll be there soon. He specifically asked us to ask you to wait a moment."
The thought of Old Li's appearance made me feel uneasy, so I decided to save him some face and decided not to see him.
"Please tell Old Li that I'm very busy and have to leave. I can't wait for him any longer. If he blames you for this, just say it was me who said it. If he dares to mistreat you, I won't relay his message anymore."
The receptionist, remembering Mr. Li's unusual tone, assumed I was telling the truth and smiled as she waved goodbye.
As soon as I stepped out of the management bureau's gate, a cool SUV pulled up in front of me.
As the car door slowly opened, Li Si, who was sitting in the driver's seat, got out of the car and quickly went to the back to open the car door for me.
He said to me excitedly, "Sister Lele, what do you think of this car? Isn't it cool? Come on, get in!"
I carefully examined the car in front of me and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, it's really nice. Have you all eaten? How about we find a place to grab something to eat before we set off?"
I looked at Li Si and Ye Ze with curiosity, because my stomach had started to rumble.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ze immediately shook his head in refusal; but Li Si nodded honestly.
So I took out the food that Aunt Zhao had specially prepared for me and said to Ye Ze, "Okay, Ye Ze, you go and drive first. Li Si and I will fill our stomachs here first."
