"Why haven't you two gone back yet?"
"We're waiting for you. Do you have time tonight? We'd like to treat you to a meal to express our gratitude."
"That's not necessary. Don't you have school?" Guo Xuyang asked the two.
"We've already graduated from college, okay?" said the girl who had been hit last night.
"You've graduated but haven't started working?"
"Uncle, we just graduated. Can't we have some fun?" The girl was clearly a little rebellious.
"Xiao Qi, don't be like that," Zhan Yifang said, shaking Xiao Qi's arm. "I'm sorry, Mr. Guo. Xiao Qi just returned from abroad a few days ago, and she's not usually like this."
"It's okay. I really can't get away tonight. Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate your gesture. Goodbye!" Guo Xuyang said, preparing to leave.
"Mr. Guo, please wait." Zhan Yifang took out a card. "This is a small token of our appreciation. We originally wanted to give it to you during dinner. If you really can't make it, then forget it. But please accept this."
"You really don't need to. In yesterday's situation, any man would have done the same. You don't need to take it to heart." Guo Xuyang refused.
"Mr. Guo, can we exchange phone numbers? That way, we can contact you if anything comes up. Those two scoundrels must be severely punished," Zhan Yifang said.
"Alright then. You can contact me if there's anything." Guo Xuyang gave Zhan Yifang his phone number.
"Here's my phone number. Please jot it down," Zhan Yifang said, calling Guo Xuyang.
"Okay, goodbye." Guo Xuyang got into his car and drove away.
"This guy is really weird. Fangfang, are we too ugly to interest him?" Wang Qi wrinkled her cute little nose.
"What are you talking about? It seems he really has something going on," Zhan Yifang replied.
"To have no reaction to two great beauties, doesn't he seem like a man?" Wang Qi continued.
"You say he seems like one, but I feel like I've seen him somewhere."
"Seen him? How is that possible? You've only been back a few days. If I hadn't been welcoming you back last night, would I have gotten slapped?" Wang Qi said, sounding wronged.
"I remember now, he appeared in Times Square, with Xu Xiaoyu."
"Xu Xiaoyu, isn't she Xu Dahai's niece?"
"Yes. Do you know her?"
"Doesn't she go to that so-called Saintly Whore University? Is she great just because her family has some money?" Wang Qi said.
"Envious and jealous? You should go too?" Zhan Yifang teased.
"We're getting sidetracked. Why are we talking about Xu Xiaoyu when we were talking about Guo Xuyang?"
"I don't think I'm mistaken. There were five or six people with Xu Xiaoyu then, including a woman with a big belly," Zhan Yifang recalled.
"Is he the man of that woman with the big belly?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Although that woman is also very beautiful, she's far behind Xu Xiaoyu. And he and Xu Xiaoyu seemed quite intimate."
"Xu Xiaoyu isn't much older than me, is she? Would she be interested in Guo Xuyang?" Wang Qi asked.
"Don't you think this Guo Xuyang is quite manly?"
"You don't mean you've taken a liking to Guo Xuyang, do you? Would your father approve?"
"If I needed my father's approval for who I like, my life would be too much of a failure, wouldn't it?"
"Didn't that Wang Hu take a liking to you?"
"Him? He's the king of scumbags, are you thinking too highly of him?"
"I heard your father helped with his father's incident last time, is that true?"
"How would I know? This isn't something for us children to worry about."
"What do you mean children?" Wang Qi looked at her and said with a smile.
"Ah... you're killing me?" Zhan Yifang was so engrossed in talking that she didn't expect Wang Qi to make a move. Her magnificent peaks were roughly grabbed. The two ran off, playfully wrestling.
Guo Xuyang, of course, had no idea he was being thought of. When he arrived at the safe house, Lü Liang gave him a big hug.
"Yangzi, you've done a great service this time. I didn't expect the enemy to be so formidable, truly all-pervasive."
"Brother Liang, what's going on? Why are you so excited?"
"The list provided by that Sarah has over twenty people in important positions within key departments. The other fifty-plus are infiltrated into various provinces and cities, all holding real power. These individuals, using funds provided by overseas organizations, have bribed and corrupted a considerable number of cadres. The illustration incident that caused such a stir a while ago was done by a few people they had corrupted."
"Really? No way?" Guo Xuyang still couldn't believe that Sarah had revealed such explosive information.
"We need to report this to the boss immediately. These maggots have caused immense harm; some have been deeply entrenched in our country for decades. If you hadn't apprehended Sarah, no one would have suspected that those seemingly upright individuals were actually worms planted by foreign organizations."
"It's best to root them out. What about Xie Lisha? Has there been any news from her end?"
"Those messages are not within our control. Let's go inside and talk." Lü Liang glanced at the people nearby and led him into a room.
"Some of what Xie Lisha said was astounding, but we've saved the recordings. The two who interrogated her have also been isolated."
"That serious? What exactly happened?"
"This Xie Lisha is not a normal human. She provided a lot of information about Area 51. And those two who interrogated her were actually corrupted by her."
"What do you mean? That's impossible," Guo Xuyang asked.
"This is a bit embarrassing. If the person monitoring hadn't told me, I wouldn't have believed it was true," Lü Liang said sheepishly.
"She promised to tell you everything, she shouldn't go back on her word."
"You know she's not a normal human?"
"What happened? Don't leave me hanging," Guo Xuyang didn't answer his question.
"Those two actually had a relationship with that Xie Lisha in the interrogation room." Lü Liang said resentfully.
"How is that possible?" Guo Xuyang was also stunned by the news. He knew Xie Lisha had seduced him, but he hadn't expected her to be so desperate that she'd seduced the two interrogators under her charms. It was understandable, as those two didn't have his supernatural abilities. If he hadn't had his abilities back then, he would have been tempted by Xie Lisha too. However, he didn't know how to bring this up. If he said he knew Xie Lisha wasn't a normal human, it would be like betraying Lü Liang. Knowing she wasn't normal and not warning Lü Liang, letting his men make fools of themselves, was truly unkind. If he said he didn't know Xie Lisha wasn't a normal human, he truly couldn't say it. After all, Lü Liang knew about his abilities and couldn't possibly not know that Xie Lisha wasn't a normal human.
