It was 6:00 pm when Fu Zhi received the “emergency” invitation, and she lifted her eyebrows slightly in surprise when she saw the title of the text message.
[Title: We need your help!
Level of mission: SSS
Rewards: 5 million
Content: Challenge the most dangerous devil in the history of mankind. Come in now if you’re a man, and let’s bring light back to the world!]
Fu Zhi did not know what to say.
‘The most dangerous devil in the history of mankind, huh…’
Piqued by her curiosity, Fu Zhi clicked into the meeting room.
Since she had never attended a meeting after she joined the International Crime Unit. She did not bring any equipment with her, so she did not use any audio processing device to alter her voice.
At the moment the captain of the 3rd division finished speaking, she asked, “Fight with Fu Zhi?”
.
There was a hint of indifference in her voice as she drawled out her vowels. The people in the meeting room did not know why, but they all had a feeling that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Suddenly, she heard a noise as if something had fallen off the table.
She lifted her head and she saw a few captains were looking at her, particularly the captain of the 3rd and 7th divisions.
Even the captain of the 2nd division was stunned.
They knew the captain of the 8th division was a woman, but they had no idea why they had a feeling that her voice sounded like Fu Zhi!
However, they soon rejected the thought.
After all, they would use an audio device to alter their voices to prevent other people from learning their real identities. No one would use their original voice, so they all figured that she must have used an audio device and it was just so happened that she sounded like Fu Zhi after the alteration.
Nobody spoke for a moment.
Both captains from the 4th and 5th divisions were shaking as a bad feeling rose from their stomach pits.
The captain of the 3rd division was the first one to come around to his senses and clicked his tongue. He did not doubt the identity of the captain of the 8th division.
It was rumored that their chief commander, the founder of the International Crimes Unit, was the captain of the 8th division’s father.
Then, Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu were brother and sister.
In his opinion, judging from the fact that their chief commander was willing to let Ye Jiu do the in vivo research, it was evident that he did not care about Ye Jiu at all.
No parents in this world would raise their kid as he was an indispensable object.
Therefore, this showed that the captain of the 8th division was not Fu Zhi at all!
When the thought came into his mind, he said, “Nice to meet you, captain. Your voice is so sweet. What kind of audio processing device are you using?”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “Well, this might not be related to our meeting, but I think we should hang out sometime after the mission. Maybe we can play games together!”
Fu Zhi was stunned. After that, she said, “98k and a silencer.”
The captain of the 3rd division fell silent.
“Let’s get back to our business first,” the captain of the 2nd division said after he came around from his senses, “For this extraction, we’re going to send in four teams. The 3rd division and I will be meeting up with the 4th and 5th divisions. As for the 6th division and 7th division, you guys stay back and be ready to assist us. The 8th division… You are going to distract Fu Zhi. Both of you are girls, maybe you guys have a lot of common topics to talk about.”
Jiang Ningbei was the only one amongst them who knew the true identity of the captain for the 8th division. However, he was not going to say anything since he knew nobody would believe in him. As such, he just touched his nose and continued to watch the show.
“You want me to fight Fu Zhi? Serious?” Fu Zhi asked with her brows lifted. “What if I can’t defeat this most dangerous devil that you guys speak of?”
“We have faith in you. Besides, we’re not asking for your opinion. We’re giving you an order, and all you have to do is do your part well,” the captain of the 3rd division chimed in, “Besides, Fu Zhi is just a girl who happens to know how to drive a race car, so you don’t have to be scared of her!”
Fu Zhi fell silent and she did not say anything in return.
The captain of the 3rd division then pressed on, “It’s all due to our predecessors’ effort that the International Crime Unit could reach where we’re at today, so how can we let Fu Zhi destroy it? Am I right?”
“Yes!” Everyone chanted in chorus save for Fu Zhi. He looked at her and asked, “What are you busy with? Why don’t you say anything?”
“I’m busy learning how to lick someone else’s boots,” Fu Zhi replied.
“Rather than pleasing your boss, you should work harder. After all, gold will glitter wherever it is! Besides, we don’t appreciate this kind of boasting and bribery in our organization!” The captain of the 3rd division said, “We entrusted you with this difficult task because we trust your capabilities! Don’t you dare belittle yourself!”
“I think that it’s not very wise to let me fight Fu Zhi,” Fu Zhi replied.
“I’ve never been wiser in my thirty years of life than today!” The captain of the 3rd division said, “No one is more suitable than you to carry out this task, and I’m sure that my decision is right!
“Come, let’s talk in detail about our plan. We don’t have much time left.”
“Are you sure you want me to be part of the plan?”
“Yes! I’m sure about that. You’re one of us, so of course you have to be part of this! Besides, our goal is the same. We’re going to defeat the vilest devil in the world!”
Honestly, Fu Zhi really admired a simple-minded person like the captain of the 3rd division. She said, “You’re the most successful and sagacious person I’ve ever seen. There’s no way this plan wouldn’t succeed.”
The face of the captain of the 3rd division flushed as he scratched his head embarrassingly, “This is not a big deal at all. It’s just that our opponent is too weak.”
Jiang Ningbei did not know what to say.
‘You’re dead, brother.’
However, the captain of the 3rd division could not hear Jiang Ningbei’s inner monologue. After he received a confirmation from the captain of the 2nd division, he smacked the table hard and concluded, “Let’s do this! The captain of the 8th division would be the key to this plan. How long do you think you can hold her?”
“Well, Fu Zhi is pretty strong, so I think it’s not a problem for me to hold her off,” Fu Zhi said.
The captain of the 3rd division nodded in relief. “According to our rule, we all have to show our face in the camera and take the oath before the start of a mission that involves most of the members from the International Crime Unit.
“Let’s set a slogan for this mission. Get rid of Fu Zhi, set things right, and make an example out of her. What do you think?”
Everyone nodded in assent. “Time is of the essence. This time, failure will not be tolerated, so everyone, give your all in this mission!”
Fu Zhi did not know what to say.
After that, everyone raised their right hand as they looked at her.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Why don’t I skip it this time? I’m worried that I might scare you guys away.”
“It’s fine. You’re our family from the day one you join us. There is this saying which goes a mother never looks ugly to her son, and a dog… Anyway, as a family, we won’t discriminate against you.”
“That’s right. Besides, nobody could see your face as well since all of us are wearing masks. The reason we told you our plan is that we believe in you and we like you. If you don’t turn on your camera, it means that you’re looking down on us!”
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Today is the day we witness the fall of the vilest devil in the world. We have to be in this together!”
After hearing what they had said, Fu Zhi then replied, “Well, since you guys have asked, then I will take my mask off and show my true face to you guys. Consider this my last bit of kindness.”
‘She’s going to take her mask off? Last bit of kindness? What the hell is she talking about? Didn’t she just say she’s ugly?’
All of their minds were filled with many questions. However, before they could ask anything, the screen suddenly lit up, and a silhouette slowly materialized.
Judging from the silhouette, they could certain that she was indeed a girl. Just when everyone thought that she was probably a pretty girl, the screen became clear now and a girl appeared before their eyes.
She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and her face was tiny. Her pupils were bright as if there were stars in them and her teeth were pearly white. She looked like she was in her 16 or 17, and there was an indifferent air about her that did not go very well with her age.
“Holy! Ghost!” The captain of the 4th division shouted and he exited the meeting room with the captain of the 5th division.
Immediately after, countless “holy” rang out in the air. All of them then exited the meeting room, leaving the captains of the 2nd and 3rd divisions, and Jiang Ningbei alone to face Fu Zhi.
“You, you, you…” The captain of the 3rd division pointed at Fu Zhi as he sprang up from his chair. His hand was shaking as he asked, “What have you done to the captain of the 8th division? No, what has the captain of the 8th division done to… No, you’re the captain of the 8th division? You come into the meeting room just to make fun of us? Fu Zhi, how… how could you do this to us!”
“Ugly, vilest devil in the world…” Fu Zhi paid him no mind and began listing out the nicknames that they gave her, causing the captain of the 3rd division’s heart to race into a gallop.
“Are you really the captain of the 8th division?” The captain of the 2nd division asked.
Fu Zhi turned to look at him and said, “Well, you can say so.”
“Pfft—” Jiang Ningbei couldn’t hold himself anymore and sprayed out a mouthful of water.
“Well… Since all of us are colleagues, can you forgive them?”
“No,” Fu Zhi replied.
“Fu Zhi,” the captain of the 2nd division took a deep breath and continued, “Everyone will make mistakes, and we should forgive them when possible. If you release them, I’ll put all the new recruits in your division when we’re selecting new recruits the next time.”
“Nah, I’ll pass. They will only pull my legs in the end, and maybe I still need to save them.”
The captain of the 2nd division became speechless.
“Bring the money and I’ll release them. If you don’t have the money, I don’t think we should continue this conversation.”
Just when the captain of the 2nd division was going to leave the meeting room, Fu Zhi continued, “I’ll forgive you guys this time for what you all did to my brother. If there’s next time, it won’t end so easily.”
——
The next day, in Fu Yuan’s mansion.
Fu Zhao took two flights before he finally arrived in Myanmar.
At the same time, Fu Zhi had already gone back to Iris Time Villa.
After Fu Zhao got off the car, he headed straight to the guest room.
Ye Jiu could come down from the bed now.
Ye Jiu was able to get out of bed and walk three days after the surgery.
Fu Zhi was staying in Iris Time Villa, so only Fu Zhao was staying in Fu Yuan’s mansion.
He was wearing a casual cloth, and he was sitting in front of Ye Jiu right now.
Both of them looked at each other for a long time, and Fu Zhao was the one who shattered the silence, “You’re the one who killed Zhou Tingting. Do you have any idea how badly does it affect your profile? I thought you would take a notch down with your hostility towards other people after you come back, but look at what you’ve done? And how could you agree to do the in vivo experiment with the International Crime Unit? I’m really disappointed in you.”
There was no expression on Ye Jiu’s face as he replied, “I’ll kill everyone who gets into Fu Zhi’s way. Since no one in the Zhou Family could control Zhou Tingting, I’ll do it myself.
“As for the in vivo experiment, honestly, I think you’re the same as those people from the International Crime Unit.”
