He was carrying a file bag with the half-decayed World Tree symbol on it.

Xia Mu walked over nonchalantly, her long hair flowing.

Raymond glanced at it a couple more times, but just as he was doing so, the buckle on his suit belt suddenly came undone, and his loose suit trousers fell down.

"what!"

Raymond was shocked and quickly let go of his hand to pull up his pants.

If Susie knew that Xia Mu used the Word of Power: Sword Control to undo someone's belt, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

At that moment, Xia Mu reached out and caught the falling file bag, while simultaneously placing her other hand on his back…

Chapter 203 Chu Zihang, who appeared out of nowhere

"Be careful."

The pedestrians didn't notice what happened at all. Those who caught a glimpse probably saw Raymond pull up his pants, then drop something, and then Xia Mu help him pick it up.

Then, whether out of shame or a need to rest, Raymond suddenly leaned back and sat down on the platform seat.

With a strange rhythm, Xia Mu made him momentarily drowsy and fall asleep.

The enhanced hypnosis, combining the divine hand with spiritual flames, can take effect quickly if the target's bloodline is lower than one's and they are within reach.

"Splash!"

He was wearing thin gloves, and he shook the file bag in his hand, revealing a metal clasp that sealed it shut.

This was no challenge for him; he controlled it to open automatically and then reached out to grab the file.

"Natsuki."

But just then, a familiar voice rang out from not far behind.

Xia Mu felt a chill run down her spine and turned around to look.

As expected, it was Chu Zihang!

What is he doing here?!

In an instant, Xia Mu's brainwaves were racing.

Could it be... a trap set for him or Xia Mi?

Chu Zihang walked over slowly and said calmly, "The task issued by the Board of Directors through the Executive Department just happened to fall to me. It's an S-level task, and the objective is to ensure the safety of Commissioner Raymond during his transfer."

"Oh right, the specialist is Lu Mingfei, and I'm his assistant."

Xia Mu's face twitched as he recalled the classic story of Eunuch Lu charging into battle with the Imperial Sword in hand, General Chu Zihang providing backup, and the Emperor probably planning to get rid of Eunuch Lu.

"I noticed you when your hair turned gray. Maybe you thought it was too simple, so you didn't pay attention to these details..."

Chu Zihang finally stood in front of him and extended his hand: "You are Xia Mu, no need to deny it. Also, give me the file folder."

Xia Mu took a half step back and lowered her voice: "Don't you want to know what's in the file bag? Aren't you curious why I came to intercept this information?"

Chu Zihang's eyes flickered, but he shook his head: "My mission is to protect Commissioner Raymond and ensure the safety of the document bag."

Xia Mu continued to tempt her: "The contents are about you and me, and they're not good for us."

Chu Zihang was stunned: "What is it?"

Although he was dutiful and the best soldier and partner, he wasn't stupid enough to pretend to be aloof when it concerned him.

"Well then, I'll take it out and have a look."

Xia Mu silently pressed Raymond's hand, telling him to sleep longer, and then gestured for Chu Zihang to sit down next to him in the chair.

Xia Mi looked at them from afar, hesitating for a moment.

Chu Zihang's appearance must have been an accident, and she didn't know how Xia Mu planned to handle it.

"Look at these. All your files from childhood to adulthood are here, including the bizarre incident of your disappearance with the Maybach when you were 15." Xia Mu handed him some documents.

Chu Zihang looked at each one, his expression gradually changing.

He remembers everything, big or small, perfectly.

“These are the documents the board of directors wants. They are very interested in your past, lineage, and abilities,” Xia Mu said, pointing to the documents.

Chu Zihang kept flipping through the pages, muttering to himself in a strange tone, "The basketball cheerleading captain? I don't remember her at all. I don't remember any of these girls who are always around me."

Xia Mu took a look and found that it was indeed all Xia Mi's records, and there were also suspicious points about the identities of these people that could not be verified, which ultimately pointed to a mysterious person who always appeared around Chu Zihang.

The board of directors investigated this mysterious person extensively and found many relevant clues.

For example, she always returns to the capital; for example, she likes to wear school uniforms and have a long ponytail; and most importantly…

Her connection with Xia Mu!

"This mysterious person..."

Chu Zihang gave Xia Mu a strange look: "Is he your die-hard fan?"

Xia Mu's face twitched.

The records about Xia Mi above, besides observing Chu Zihang, are about participating in various support activities, from ordinary roadshows to concerts to various announcements.

She followed Xia Mu's trail, flying all over the country!

"Wait! Why you?!"

Chu Zihang was suddenly stunned.

The gradually weakening power of the Word of Power caused everyone's subconscious suspicions about Natsuki and Erii switching identities to begin to waver.

When Chu Zihang discovers that the mysterious person in the records is chasing Xia Mu, not Xia Liyi, his subconscious begins to crumble.

If he can discover it, the college and the board of trustees will naturally discover it as well, and then many things will change.

Especially after the news reaches Tokyo, the uncertainty surrounding Erii's future will increase.

“Senior brother, I must destroy all the parts of the data about me, the mysterious person, and Yi Yi,” Xia Mu said decisively, “including your experience on the night you were 15 years old.”

Chu Zihang frowned and thought for a while: "I don't understand."

“I can’t explain it clearly, but I guarantee that what I’m about to do will be beneficial and harmless to you. Do you believe me?” Xia Mu looked directly into his eyes.

Chu Zihang closed his eyes, and after a minute, he opened them again, his gaze returning to its calm state: "I believe you."

Between the academy and Xia Mu, or more precisely, between the board of directors and Xia Mu, he chose Xia Mu.

They had experienced the same dark, stormy nights, cooperated several times in Tokyo, and fought a dragon-slaying battle.

He trusted his intuition and chose Xia Mu.

"call…"

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief; she had been genuinely worried that Chu Zihang would stubbornly object.

"Actually, Yi Yi and I switched identities. We were both affected by an incredibly powerful Word of Power, so everyone thought we had switched identities."

Xia Mutou told someone about this once.

As expected, Chu Zihang's eyes were also somewhat vacant, as if he were listening to a fairy tale.

“Really,” Xia Mu nodded in response to his confused look and said with certainty, “My real name is Xia Mu, and Yi Yi’s real name is Uesugi Erii.”

Chu Zihang remained silent for a long time, his head bowed as he processed this astonishing news.

"Actually, it's not a big deal if you put it bluntly. After all, you only met me after my identity changed, so it's easy for you to accept. But for those who already knew us, it's a huge shock, like the Snake-Headed Eight Families in Tokyo."

Xia Mu shrugged.

"So, you and I are from the same country, and Xia Liyi... is actually from that side?" Chu Zihang's expression was strange. "So it wasn't you who was so difficult to bring out, it was her."

“Yes,” Xia Mu nodded, “so I don’t want to be exposed, otherwise the Snake Clan will come knocking on my door without saying a word and beat me up for stealing their treasure.”

Chu Zihang glanced at him, a smile playing on his lips, though it was unclear whether he was imagining that scene.

"Keep this a secret."

"it is good."

Chu Zihang's words were concise and to the point.

Xia Mu then took out the documents that could not be taken back, avoided everyone's gaze, and a wisp of flame ignited at his fingertips, burning them to ashes.

Chapter 204 Affectation… Mi

“We’ve been looking at the data for a bit too long, and Raymond couldn’t possibly be completely unaware of this. What are you planning to do next?”

Chu Zihang looked around and found that this was a blind spot for surveillance cameras, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered by the college or the board of directors.

"It's not a big problem. Someone will come to collect the information in five minutes, and Raymond will wake up in ten minutes. You should appear then, and we can track down the person who stole the information together."

Xia Mu carefully put the remaining documents back in their original order, put on gloves, and returned them to the file bag, restoring the metal clips to their original condition.

Chu Zihang nodded first, then paused for a moment: "There's still a loophole. My mission was to protect Commissioner Raymond, so why am I late?"

Xia Mu twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's simple. You suddenly went to the toilet and missed those ten minutes."

"I never go to the toilet during a mission; I always go beforehand."

Xia Mu waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Oh, I just ate the wrong thing and got diarrhea!"

Chu Zihang: "..."

He felt that his perfect mission record had been broken today, and the reason for the failure was enough to make him lose face on the academy forum.

"Shocking! The Lionheart Society's president failed his S-rank mission, and the reason behind it is heartwarming—diarrhea!"

Chu Zihang felt like dying just thinking about it.

"Don't worry, the team that accepted the mission is of average strength. It'll be a piece of cake for you. Your mission won't be considered a failure." Xia Mu chuckled.

Chu Zihang remained expressionless.

That simply turned into: "Shocking! The Lionheart Guild President's S-rank mission almost failed..."

"Goodbye, let's part ways here. I won't be under surveillance in this form. Unless all the records are searched, no one will find me."
