Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

"Okay, I got it... Tomorrow, right? No problem!"

Xiaobai sat in her office with several stacks of documents beside her. The corners of the top document were a little curled, so she reached out and pressed it down to flatten the paper.

My gaze shifted from the document to the phone screen and lingered for a few seconds.

Qiu Ying sat in the chair diagonally opposite, the light from her laptop screen reflecting on her face. Her fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, occasionally pausing to glance at the content on the screen.

The club has had many more engagements this month than before. Although no one has entered dangerous areas to carry out missions during this period, the workload in logistics and administration has actually increased compared to when we were running through maps.

"What's wrong? Do you have plans for tomorrow?" Qiu Ying asked Xiao Bai while staring at the computer screen and organizing documents.

Xiao Bai put down her phone, and Chong Qiuying replied, "We received an official message. Apparently, the new training ground for the joint training has been secured. We'll go to the official office tomorrow to confirm the schedule."

"Confirm the itinerary? It sounds like it's quite far from here?" Qiu Ying's gaze didn't leave the computer screen, but the keyboard clicks paused for a moment.

"Longcheng," Xiaobai nodded in reply.

Qiu Ying looked up from the screen at Xiao Bai, her brows furrowing slightly. "Longcheng? That Longcheng? You're not talking about that island nation, are you?"

Xiao Bai nodded. "That's it, so it's a bit of a hassle."

Qiu Ying opened her mouth, "No way, that far? You travel all that way just to practice for a few days?"

She turned towards Xiaobai, "Isn't that place quite remote? Is the infrastructure adequate?"

Xiao Bai shrugged and spread his hands. "Who told him to organize this? There should be players from all over the world. There are even more people from other countries. We're not even that far away anymore."

Upon hearing this answer, Qiu Ying quickly switched to a dissatisfied tone, "Han Che and the other guy absolutely have to go! I'm so angry! I've been working myself to death these past few days, and those two are slacking off again!"

Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly. She was the one who let the person go, and she couldn't really say who Qiu Ying was blaming. It was better to just smile at this moment.

When Xiao Bai heard Qiu Ying's words, a slight smirk appeared on his face.

She approved Han Che and Qi Yuzhe's leave; they were indeed not at the club these past few days.

But whether Qiu Ying was complaining about the two of them or about Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai knew the answer but couldn't say it outright, so she could only smile awkwardly and change the subject.

Seeing that Xiaobai didn't speak, Qiuying snorted, pouted, and continued typing on her keyboard.

Although the official stance is not to recommend that Club 78 expand its scale at this critical juncture, Xiaobai still recruited a few new members, mainly responsible for non-combat tasks for Akai's side.

As for the sponsoring companies, there are too many to count.

But Xiao Bai later tried to contact Qi Shao using the contact information provided, thinking that no matter what, he should take the initiative to contact the person to express his gratitude.

After failing to get in touch several times, Xiaobai gave up, thinking that the other party was a businessman and probably too busy to talk to him again later.

Dengdengdeng.

Xiao Bai hadn't had a chance to rest for long when he heard a knock at the door. He assumed it was a new business partner.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the person who came in was someone Xiaobai recognized—it was Young Master Qi.

"Young Master Qi? What brings you here?" Xiao Bai looked at the newcomer with some surprise and stood up to answer.

"Sister Xiaobai, I want to join the 78 Club," Qi Shao said, his expression blank.

Xiao Bai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Did your dad agree? You can't keep it from him."

Qi Shao shook his head, "I'm not a child, Sister Bai, I'm an adult now..."

Xiao Bai wanted to say something more, but seeing Qi Shao's calm expression, she couldn't suppress her sadness.

"I sent your contact information to my dad, Sister Xiaobai. Have you received a call from my dad, Sister Xiaobai?" Qi Shao asked.

"No." Xiaobai shook her head. She wasn't surprised. People who are out doing business don't have time to call and chat.

But Qi Shao continued, "Ever since I told you about my dad wanting to sponsor the office building when I came here last time, I called him after I left. He said that the building was meant for you to use. He asked me for your contact information and said he wanted to explain and talk to you in person."

"When I called him again a few days later to confirm, he said a lot of strange things to me, telling me to be careful and that he had left something for me."

"And they repeatedly emphasized to me that there were several more buildings that could be sponsored for the 78 Club, and told me to contact them for help if I had any problems, and then they hung up the phone."

"Sister Xiaobai, he doesn't usually speak in that tone. It felt like he was leaving a will. Sure enough, I couldn't contact him after that."

At this point, Qi Shao could no longer maintain his feigned calm expression; his eyes reddened as he struggled to suppress his emotions.

Xiao Bai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't overthink it, maybe he's just too busy lately and hasn't had time to contact you."

Qi Shao shook his head. "Sister Xiaobai, is the joint training program about to begin? In Longcheng?"

Xiao Bai was stunned. Even people in the industry rarely knew about this. Those who got the news were people like them who were involved. How did Young Master Qi know?

Qi Shao knew he had guessed right from Xiao Bai's reaction. "Sister Xiao Bai, my dad's project is in Longcheng. It's a project that the client calls a great plan. It should be the site for the joint training program."

Xiao Bai looked at Qi Shao in shock, never expecting it to be like this.

Qi Shao's eyes were red-rimmed and his gaze was intense. "Sister Xiaobai, please take me there. I want to find clues about my father. He left me some things there. If something really happens to him, these things..."

Qi Shao choked up a little as he said this.

Xiaobai looked at Qiuying, who shook her head; she couldn't make up her mind either.

They weren't very familiar with Qi Shao, so they couldn't tell if he was really like that or if he was just putting on an act for them.

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, "Young Master Qi, I understand how you feel, but... how about this, when Han Che comes back, you know he's the main fighting force now, so we have to let him make the decision."

Qi Shao didn't understand what this had to do with the combat power representative, but since Xiao Bai had relented, he couldn't say anything more. He nodded and left the club.

"You call yourself the 'combat leader'? You can't make up your own mind, so you're just looking for a man to back you up, aren't you?" Qiu Ying said sourly.

Qiu Ying has always been like this, and Xiao Bai is too lazy to pay attention to her. At the same time, her phone vibrates and she receives a message.

Xiao Bai opened the message and her eyebrows unconsciously rose. "Speak of the devil, and he appears. Han Che is coming back soon."
