I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Yan Shan resumed his imposing demeanor.

The soldier who came in didn't look like he was a high-ranking officer, maybe a non-commissioned officer.

"Ziwen? Aren't you on duty at the gate? What are you doing here?"

The person who entered was Jiang Ziwen.

"Report! There's a person named Mu Mu outside who wants to come in. She says she's looking for someone. What do you think..." Jiang Ziwen said, glancing at Yan Zimo and the others.

Yan Ziming felt a chill run down her spine. This pervert had found them so quickly? She didn't even have a plan yet!

No, there's still hope!

She spoke before Yan Shan could: "Did you tell that person we were here?"

Jiang Ziwen was taken aback, feeling somewhat displeased. The Marshal of China hadn't even spoken yet, and you were already interrupting? That was extremely disrespectful!

But when he looked at Yan Shan and found that he didn't seem to have any complaints, he had no choice but to answer Yan Zimo's question: "I already said that."

These words struck Yan Ziming like a bolt from the blue; now she had no way to escape.

“But I didn’t say exactly where you were, I just told her to wait outside,” Jiang Ziwen added.

“That’s great! Just tell them we’ve already set off on a mission, and whatever you do, don’t say we’re still here.”

Jiang Ziwen thought to himself, "Is this person crazy? There's an eighth-level expert outside, and other people would be scrambling to curry favor with him. Why is she acting like she's being chased?"

Has she offended this eighth-tier expert? This is going to be difficult to handle. Should we help her or not?

Jiang Ziwen turned his gaze to Yan Shan, as this matter still needed his help to make a decision.

Yan Shan simply sat in the chair, his eyes closed as he pondered something: "Do as she says."

"Yes!"

Now that this high-ranking military official had expressed his opinion, Jiang Ziwen had nothing more to worry about. He saluted and prepared to leave.

But when his hand touched the doorknob, his military-style walkie-talkie rang, as if reporting some information to him.

After hearing the report, Jiang Ziwen turned around and said to Yan Ziming with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's too late. She's already here, and we can't stop her."

No sooner had Jiang Ziwen finished speaking than a commotion broke out outside.

"Make way, I see that comrade from before has come here." "This is the reception area. Please cooperate, otherwise we will take coercive measures."

Clearly, the first voice belonged to Mu Mu. The other voice was also very assertive, showing no fear even when facing Mu Mu, an eighth-level expert. However, there was a hint of bravado masking underlying weakness, so it was unlikely that he could hold out for long.

Yan Ziming was in despair, slumped in his chair, looking like he was heading to the execution ground, a truly tragic sight.

Life is full of ups and downs. First, it brought her hope, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into despair. Yan Ziming felt that she would never be able to escape Mu Mu's clutches again.

Seeing Yan Ziming's dejected expression every day, I couldn't help but ask, "It's just meeting someone, why do you have to look like that?"

Yan Ziming said weakly, "You don't understand, you don't understand... She's an absolute psychopath!"

What kind of image does she have in your mind?!

He secretly complains to himself every day.

Yan Shan, who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, stood up and said slowly, "Let me try to hold her off, but you'd better not get your hopes up too high."

"Really?! Then I'll leave it to you, Commander."

Yan Ziming, as if grasping at a lifeline, swept away his previous dejected expression and said with great joy. However, remembering that there were outsiders present, he quickly changed his way of addressing Yan Shan.

As for Yan Shan's last sentence, she completely ignored it: "With the Marshal of China on the case, how could he not succeed?"

No matter how capable or powerful Mu Mu is, can she compare to Yan Shan?

Obviously not!

"You need to explain this to me properly when you get back."

Yan Shan left those words behind, opened the door, and walked out.

Chapter 100 Giving Up

Just as Yan Shan closed the door, he bumped into Mu Mu, who was about to rush in.

"Hello, Chief!"

Upon seeing Yan Shan appear, the soldiers and officers who had been extremely busy with Mu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, and returned to their posts.

Now that their boss has intervened, these people should just go about their business; they won't be of any use staying here anyway.

In just a short while, the reception hall was empty, leaving only Mu Mu and Yan Shan.

After meeting Yan Shan, Mu Mu also put away her arrogant demeanor. Although she had never met Yan Shan before, she had at least seen him before.

Yan Shan is a household name and a hero. He has appeared on military and political programs with Chinese leaders quite often. Every Chinese person knows what he looks like, and Mu Mu is no exception.

Putting all that aside, the sheer power emanating from Yan Shan was enough to intimidate her.

"Hello, Chief."

Even if Mu Mu desperately wanted to find Yan Ziming, she couldn't ignore the Marshal of China. She followed the example of the soldiers before her, gave a not-so-standard military salute, and said "Greetings, Commander" before quietly waiting for his instructions.

"Speak, what do you want with my good-for-nothing niece?"

Yan Shan got straight to the point, making no attempt to conceal the fact that Yan Ziming was his niece.

Mu Mu thought he was going to reprimand her for her disruptive behavior, but Yan Shan's words left her completely bewildered.

What did he just say? Nephew, niece? Yan Ziming is actually the niece of this Marshal of China, a ninth-tier powerhouse, and a war god in the army?

Thinking about it carefully, they both have the surname Yan, so it seems there is indeed a slight possibility!

But Mu Mu still felt it necessary to confirm again: "Chief, are you talking about a girl named Yan Ziming?"

"If there is no other person here named Yan Ziming, then it must be her."

It really is true!

Mu Mu's heart was in turmoil; this was a major event! It might even affect the future dynamics within the upper echelons of society.

But for Mu Mu, his status as Yan Ziming's elder was more important.

"Uh, well, I've come to catch up with her."

Mu Mu shamefully chickened out. She had a feeling of meeting the parents, which made her afraid to look Yan Shan in the eye.

Besides, she came to see Yan Ziming with ulterior motives; you can't just say she came to flirt with your niece, can you?

If that were the case, Yan Shan would definitely blacklist her, and she would never be able to see Yan Zimo again. He certainly had the ability to do just that.

Yan Shan looked at Mu Mu with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a long while, he said in an unquestionable tone:

"Zi Mo and the others have already gone on their mission, so you won't be able to see her for the time being."

Mu Mu panicked and quickly asked, "Can you tell me where they are?"

However, Yan Shan's answer was destined to disappoint her:

"No, this is a very important matter. We can't tell anyone about it. Please go back."

At this moment, Mu Mu understood that Yan Shan was making excuses for her. Even if Yan Zimo was really hiding behind the door, Yan Shan would not let her in. The only option left for her was to go back home.

While feeling helpless, Mu Mu also felt a surge of anger—was she really that terrifying? To avoid her, she even brought out this formidable figure; was she truly that heartless?

With a slight bite of her teeth, Mu Mu's mood was clearly somewhat disappointed: "Alright then, I'll come find her again next time."

Yan Shan replied in the same tone, "Take care, don't bother seeing me off."

As Mu Mu walked out of the hall, she kept turning back to look at the room Yan Shan had come out of, hoping for some kind of turning point. But she had already walked out of the hall, and there was no turning point, not even the slightest movement.

This time she was truly disheartened and walked out in disappointment.

"Come out, stop hiding." Yan Shan's voice was neither happy nor sad, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

The door opened, and Yan Ziming came out, looking embarrassed. He hadn't expected to be caught eavesdropping.

As if they had reached some tacit understanding, only Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue came out, while everyone else remained quietly in the reception room.

"It wasn't convenient to say this inside, but it's okay now, right?"

He had witnessed Mu Mu's emotional changes throughout, from initial anger to deep sadness. What had his niece done to warrant such a reaction from her?

Therefore, Yan Shan became increasingly curious.

Seeing that her older sister was having some difficulty speaking, Ye Qianxue was about to answer for her when Yan Shan stopped her.

"I want to hear it from your own mouth." Yan Shan's tone left no room for refusal.

"Actually... she, she is, my pursuer..." Yan Ziming stammered for a long time, only managing to utter these few words.

"Chase?" Yan Shan knew he was very close to the answer.

After hesitating for a long time, Yan Ziming blushed and said somewhat resignedly, "She's my suitor!"

ha?

Yan Shan was dumbfounded!
