Wenren Lei frowned slightly. Couldn't get in touch?

It's that familiar taste again.

Wenren Lei asked, "Have you thought it through? You're not going to make a scene anymore?"

The mere mention of "begging" made Old Sun's face wrinkle. He had heard that Captain Wenren was unyielding and vindictive, so he had no choice but to beg, no matter how embarrassing it was.

Old Sun was desperate: "Captain Wenren, name your terms. As long as we can bring them back, I'll risk my old life..."

"Stop," Wenren Lei interrupted calmly. "I don't want your old life."

Old Sun asked, "Then..."

Wenren Lei picked up the hot tea that Fu Yan had prepared in advance, slowly blew on it to cool it down, took a sip, and then frowned slightly. What a boring drink. He really couldn't appreciate such a delicate beverage.

Originally, I thought I would have to drink some tea to increase my aura to deal with this old man, but I didn't expect that Old Sun's family would disappear, so Old Sun immediately bowed his head.

Wenren Lei put down her teacup with disdain and pointed to the sofa opposite her again: "Sit."

Old Sun silently sat down on the sofa.

Wenren Lei leaned back on the sofa and crossed her legs: "I have three conditions."

Old Sun said, "You speak."

Wenren Lei smiled, revealing his tiger teeth: "First, help me plant sweet potatoes."

Old Sun looked up, somewhat surprised. He had thought it was some kind of demanding requirement. This was it?

"Silence means you agree," Wenren Lei continued. "Secondly, you will go to the night market every day and, under the 'Most Popular' ranking, preach about 10G's excellent character."

He leaned forward slightly: "You're an expert, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Old Sun was a little confused by this young man's ridiculous requests. He nodded and said, "It's not difficult."

Wenren Lei sneered: "It's easy to agree, but I want to see results. Within a month, take 10G from being full of negative reviews to the top of the list."

Old Sun took a deep breath: "Well, how about this..."

"Deal." Wenren Lei interrupted him, reaching a unilateral agreement.

"Third, you're not allowed to cause trouble at the base or give my brother any trouble." He picked up his teacup and took another sip. "I don't take the old man with me on missions, and you're not allowed to come along."

Old Sun was stunned. How did he know he wanted to follow?

When Wenren Lei saw his expression, she knew she had guessed correctly: "There's no room for discussion on this. If you have any objections, go back to the dispatch office and continue issuing commissions."

"No objection!" Old Sun hurriedly said, "I have no objection, I won't go."

"Alright, go back and wait for news. Gather the coordinates of that organization and the identity information of your son and his family of three, and give it to me clearly." Wenren Lei yawned. "We'll get ready and leave soon."

Looking at this carefree and easygoing young man, Old Sun suddenly felt much more at ease, for some reason.

He opened his mouth, feeling that he should say a few nice, polite words.

Wenren Lei yawned again and said directly, "Oh dear, see the guest out."

"Yes, Master."

The A1-V who doesn't act so blatantly in front of outsiders slid out from under the coffee table: "Mr. Sun, please come with me."

Old Sun looked at the small metal box and said, "Okay..."

He nodded slightly to Wenren Lei: "Farewell."

Wenren Lei pretended to be profound as she sipped her tea: "Hmm."

A1-V glided forward with a gurgling sound: "Mr. Sun, before you leave, would you like to go and check on the sweet potato seedlings in the field?"

Old Sun followed, saying, "Alright, please lead the way."

"It's no trouble at all."

The living room fell silent again.

Wenren Lei slowly lay down on the sofa, reaching out to touch the empty space beside her. She felt a little unaccustomed that Wanzi wasn't there.

Fu Yan came out of the kitchen and half-squatted in front of the sofa: "Come and eat."

Wenren Lei nodded, then frowned and said, "A perfectly good civilian organization, with dozens of living people, just disappears without a trace. What I fear most now are organizations that don't make a sound at all."

Outside the French windows, snow began to fall heavily. Wenren Lei looked over and said, "Could it be another Corpse King?"

Fu Yan raised his hand and touched the top of his head: "The red snow hasn't arrived yet, so it shouldn't. It's normal for small organizations like this to have limited supplies and communication disruptions."

Wenren Lei turned her head to look at him: "It was just the two of us going out this time, which was kind of awkward."

Fu Yan chuckled lightly: "Which one?"

Wenren tearfully exclaimed, "How romantic!"

That evening, Lao Sun compiled the materials Wenren Lei had requested and delivered them over.

The next morning, Wenren Lei and Fu Yan waited for A1-V at the villa entrance.

Only the two of them went out this time. Wenren Lei left the rest of 10G at the base, telling them to be ready to provide support at any time.

There is no intelligence for this mission, and there are too many unknowns. Taking everyone with us would actually hinder our covert investigation.

"Master, I've arrived!"

After being cooped up at the base for so long, the A1-V can finally go out for a spin.

He cleaned himself until he was spotless and gleaming, turned on all the lights on his body, and drifted to a stop in front of Wenren Lei: "Master, master, please get in the car. The code name for this operation is..."

The car doors popped open, and heavy metal rock music blasted from inside the carriage.

"Quiet down," Wenren Lei said expressionlessly. "Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile on this mission? You're on tour here, aren't you?"

The music stopped abruptly.

A1-V let out a pitiful "Yes, Master."

"Be careful in everything." Wenren Yu came out of the villa to see Wenren Lei off. He looked like he hadn't woken up yet, still wearing his pajamas, with his hair casually draped over his shoulders.

Wenren Lei turned around and looked at him: "Brother, why did you come down?"

"Of course I'm here to see you off." Gu Zhengming walked out from behind Wenren Yu and draped a thick blanket over Wenren Yu's shoulders.

Wenren Lei rushed over and demanded, "You slept in the same room as my brother?!"

Gu Zhengming looked wronged: "I don't have that ability. I just woke up and came down to take a look."

Wenren Lei glanced at him and said, "Hmph."

Wenren Yu pulled the blanket tighter around herself and reminded her again, "Safety first, remember?"

Wenren Lei said, "I know, you've said it so many times, I'm sick of hearing it."

At this moment, Wen Chi also came downstairs: "Here, have a big treasure for you."

Wenren Lei unceremoniously reached out her hand: "Give it to me."

Wen Chi chuckled and raised his hand to grasp his wrist.

A wisp of black mist seeped from Wen Chi's fingertips and slowly wrapped around Wenren Lei's hand, gradually forming a matte black bracelet on Wenren Lei's wrist.

The bracelet felt warm to the touch. Wenren Lei turned her wrist to examine it, asking, "What's this for?"

Wen Chi said, "I can save your life once if you encounter danger."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Wenren Lei shouted.

Before Wen Chi could feel relieved.

Wenren Lei then said, "But the design is a bit ugly, like an electronic handcuff. Couldn't you have made something nicer, like adding a diamond or something?"

Wen Chi scoffed, "You should be grateful you have some to wear. Do you think this fog is like cabbage in the field?"

He turned and went back to the villa, waving to Wenren Lei with his back to her: "Go early and come back early."
