Su Jiameng didnât care that she was only wearing a small vest and shorts, and she draped the overly large delivery uniform over herself, snickering, "I think the scenery here is nice, the water quality is great, and coincidentally my mood is nice too. Iâm here for a swim to relax, are you going to manage that too?"
The man was momentarily taken aback by Su Jiamengâs blunt words, then he chuckled, "I used to be the Wind Disciplinary Chairman at the school. If Iâd met you back then, Iâd definitely have expelled you from Xilena First Affiliated School without a word. School conduct and discipline must not be taken lightly."
Su Jiameng couldnât be bothered listening to this guy talk about what office he held at this school in his past; itâs all history to her. Can this man still stop her? Well, even if he could stop her, it wouldnât matter. She had already accomplished what she needed to.
Raising her chin slightly, her expression carried a hint of arrogance, yet it was not annoying. Instead, people would find this frail girl pretending to be a Queen quite amusing. "A hero doesnât talk about past victories. Since you were a Wind Disciplinary Chairman in the past, you canât manage me now. Iâve had a great time swimming today, so I wonât argue with you for now. Just keep away from my housekeeper Changxi, you deadbeat!"
After she finished speaking, she drags Changxi and leaps onto the flying craft, escaping far beyond sight. The man watches their arrogant silhouettes disappearing and smiles wryly, "For being out and about so much, this is the first time Iâve been misunderstood as having feelings for a robot."
The man knew well that Su Jiameng said this to startle him, then seize the chance to escape, not the truth, but he still found it somewhat laughable. However, his previous enthusiasm for Changxi Housekeeper... well, it did have a hint of âthatâ meaning.
Scratching his hair that resembled tangled seaweed, the man repressed his awkward smile and walked with a solemn gaze to a secluded spot to wait. After a moment, a familiar and spicy figure of a woman emerged from the water, clad in a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her perfect physique.
Removing the waterproof goggles and tossing them aside, she took the manâs extended hand to climb ashore, her heart pounding like a drum, lingering without calming, "Old lady wonât ever help you do this kind of thing again, almost couldnât make it out, nearly lost this life!"
The man didnât bother with Luo Xinâs curses or complaints, his face carrying a subtle expression, "What exactly happened to you underwater earlier?"
Previously, the man and Luo Xin arrived here to steal that disastrous meteorite from within the institute. With the manâs arrangement and setup, everything proceeded smoothly. Despite Luo Xinâs previous injuries, she had already healed, allowing her to perform without issue.
As she smoothly infiltrated the pipeline, believing everything was secure, who knew that things would suddenly change midway, forcing her to abandon the mission. Having retreated in haste, she was even discovered by a few patrolling guards, narrowly escaping after a fierce battle.
After hearing Luo Xinâs account, the manâs brow furrowed intensely, filled with doubts, yet his current concerns lay elsewhere, concerned with the status of that disaster!
This missionâs failure would surely lead the institute to enhance, upgrade and modify their defense systems, the map he painstakingly perfected becoming useless, leaving uncertainly when next opportunity would arise...
He wasnât concerned about lacking a second chance to uncover the instituteâs defenses, but worried time would be too short, afraid the institute may hastily utilize outcomes on human trials... that is indeed a disaster that would haunt for ages! Qiming Star may never return to its former self!
"Enough about that, how is that thing now? What level of awakening has it reached?" The man, somewhat agitated, reached for a cigarette box, pulled out a stick placing it at his lips, enveloping himself in clouds of smoke. "In your view, when will they conduct clinical human trials? No, that group rarely values human lives, perhaps theyâll start scheming before anythingâs even produced."
Luo Xin, the female star thief at odds, tricked into bloody mishaps by Su Jiameng, listened to the man speak and looked at him like he was an idiot, "Didnât I tell you already, I was hiding within the pipeline and never entered the institute internally, no clue about those haunted things? Though there is one piece of news that might be good for you, that thing is dead!"
"Dead, itâs dead?" The man was taken aback, nearly burnt by the cigarette between his fingers. "How did it die?"
Luo Xin seemed to recall something strange and fearful, expression complex, "Even if I tell you, you might not believe it, fortunately, I recorded a video, have a look and youâll understand... Previously, did you notice a girl exiting here?"
