I think my luck is turning around.

Zhan Yu didn't say anything, she just looked at the bowl of water, and it was unclear what she was thinking. She closed her eyes, and after a moment, she opened them and looked at An Ge very seriously.

"I'm here to help you find people. Where did those missing people go? Or where did they die?"

An Ge didn't speak. She asked Mu An about the uses of the Heavenly Mountain Water, but Mu An looked disdainful and contemptuous of it.

"It's just water, and a little dust. Ignorant humans."

An Ge heard it clearly and looked at Zhan Yu with great incomprehension. Did she want those who died unexpectedly to return to their roots?

Was it out of kindness, or for some other reason?

"Do you really want to know their location, or do you believe in the water's effects? Or do you not believe they're dead?"

Whether Ange knows the effects of this water or not, the conclusion is already reached: this is a "counterfeit product." Whatever effects it may have, they are all fabricated!

An Ge's gaze was also serious. No matter what outcome Zhan Yu wanted, she still needed to cover up some things.

“I need to explain to the public that not all of those people are suicide soldiers or orphans; some of them still have families. I need to explain this to the public.”

To put it bluntly, it's public relations!

An Ge's gaze remained serious; no matter what, there was no going back now.

"Those people are buried in the snow and will never come back."

At this point, An Ge had already accepted everything Mu An had given her! She only knew that the cause was water containing some impurities, so she sent a team of twenty people to Tianshan to fetch water, but an avalanche occurred, and only three people returned.

But now only one person is left. The other two are nowhere to be found. They were said to have disappeared after entering the music hall.

"Yukiri? I understand, thank you."

After saying that, Zhan Yu pushed the water on the table to An Ge, indicating that she should try it.

To be honest, An Ge only drinks boiled water here; she cares a lot about the water quality!

It wasn't that she was being overly sensitive; she was just too concerned about the impurities in the water. But looking at this bowl of water, An Ge still felt a strong urge to touch it, no matter what it was like.

"No need! I'm not interested in this water, neither for physical strength nor for longevity."

"This water is very precious; it contains the lives of nineteen people."

Zhan Yu's tone wasn't harsh; it was still soft and gentle. But that soft, sweet voice made An Ge feel threatened, as if she were being "kidnapped."

At this moment, Zhan Yu was a demon, but An Ge returned with a smile, saying, "I know, but I can't bear such a heavy moral burden."

Seeing that An Ge didn't respond at all, Zhan Yu didn't say anything. She just picked up the bowl, walked to the stove where the rice was steaming, picked up the pot lid, and poured a bowl of water into it.

"Today's rice is very special, eat more!"

Of course, An Ge will never eat rice from Le Si Fang again! Perhaps it was psychological, or perhaps it was her own stubbornness, but An Ge really never ate rice again.

"I applaud what you did, but you're too persistent! Perhaps that's why you're unwilling to let go of yourself and your past."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Yu dropped the bowl in her hand, leaving many shards on the ground. She cared about her background; perhaps she knew a little about it, but it was precisely this clue that made her unable to forget it.

Who exactly is her father? Where did her mother go? Where is her master now? There are so many things she wants to know. In fact, Zhan Yu once wanted to be by Mr. Ji's side. At that time, everyone in the world knew that Mr. Ji had someone who knew everything about the world by his side.

But she failed. Mr. Ji sent her out of the Ji residence. That's how she ended up in the organization her master had once been in—the Wild Ghosts.

"Shut up! I didn't come here to humiliate me!"

Zhan Yu's voice was heart-wrenching; it was a resistance to everything An Ge had said. She didn't want to talk about her past, yet she longed to know what it was all about.

"No matter what, your past is a done deal. You just don't know it, not that it didn't happen." An Ge's seemingly nonsensical statement was just that hardcore.

Zhan Yu looked at An Ge, at her determined gaze, as if she understood, or perhaps she didn't yet, didn't comprehend, and wanted to escape.

"We shouldn't hurt each other. If you don't force me, I won't hurt you."

But what are you doing now, trying to recruit me? I can know all your plans, what you're going to do, and what results you want.

I promised you I would protect your reputation, but your current coercive actions are really making me uncomfortable.

An Ge had a sullen face, as if she was about to explode at any moment, but Zhan Yu didn't react at all. She just looked at An Ge quietly, seemingly lost in thought.
