Ark Heroine Development Plan

Chen reacted for a second, then nodded silently.

If someone else had a strong sense of justice, he might be moved by Guan Yueli's words, but as someone who knew Guan Yueli, Chen knew that what Guan Yueli said did not mean equal treatment on a moral level.

Because in her eyes, there is indeed no difference between infected people and ordinary people, just as there is no difference between ordinary people and emperors and generals in her eyes.

Because he is above all classes, he does not see any class.

Then, Chen did not raise any new questions.

She just... stood there stiffly, not saying anything or doing anything, just with her head down, not knowing whether she was in deep thought or just in a daze.

Guan Yueli, on the other hand, was drinking and eating, curled up lazily on the sofa, hugging two pillows, taking a nap with his eyes half closed, not in a hurry at all.

I don't know how long it took, but a low, slightly hoarse voice sounded in the living room.

"Why...me?"

Hearing the voice, Guan Yueli opened her eyes dazedly: "Huh? Ah? Xiao Chen, what did you just...haah, what did you say?"

"I said."

Chen raised her head, stared at Guan Yueli, and solemnly repeated what she had just said:

"Why, it's me."

The reason why it was difficult for her to ask this question was because she knew that after asking this question, there would be a clear ending between her and Guan Yueli.

What does she mean to Guan Yueli? And what does Guan Yueli mean to herself? After this question is over, Chen feels that he will get the answer.

"Hmm...I still can't help it."

Although Guan Yueli was still smiling, she no longer had the casual and frivolous look she usually had. Although she still looked lazy as she leaned on the sofa, she was no longer casual.

"What do you mean, why you?"

She wanted to hear Chen explain it himself.

Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Everything you did...everything you did to me."

"Everything that happened between you and me since we met."

"Why did you guide me like this? Why were you so tolerant of me? Why... why did you go to the trouble of doing so many things?"

The girl's expression was very serious, even to the point of being stubborn:

"To you, isn't everyone the same? No one is different to you. Everything that happened between you and me, if you replaced me with anyone else, the outcome of the incident would not change. So... why me?"

Chen needed an answer.

Why am I the only one among so many people?

If Guan Yueli then said with a smile, "You are too narcissistic, Xiao Chen," or "Ah? I just think it's very interesting," Chen would be able to completely put her mind at ease. She would no longer have any strange thoughts about the relationship between them and could face Guan Yueli very normally.

But is this really the answer she wants?

So, Guan Yueli smiled and asked, "Do you want me to answer you? Did I do this for fun, Xiao Chen?"

Chen said nothing.

Guan Yueli said slowly: "If you don't answer, I won't answer either."

The bad woman looked at the silent girl with a smile, without any evil taste, but just with a normal and relaxed mood, waiting for her answer.

It was as if she already knew what Chen's answer was.

"I do not want."

Chen said softly, yielding.

The woman laughed, but it was not an exaggerated laugh, it was just pure joy and happiness.

"Good boy, then I will give you my answer."

She stood up, strode over to Chen and pulled her up.

Chen was at a loss: "What is this for?"

Guan Yueli smiled mysteriously: "Of course I'm going to answer your question."

Chapter 118 - For Dragon Gate

"These rich people are really fucking..."

Ye Andao, who was sitting in the office, rubbed his brows and said, "Xiao Cao, is it resolved over there?"

"Yes!" The young man saluted. "The infected person handling department has sent back a notification. The target has been dealt with, but..."

The young man surnamed Cao looked a little uncomfortable, or to be more precise... unhappy.

"Sir Ye, do we really have to do this?"

"The water in this city is very deep, Xiao Cao."

Ye Andao sighed: "Your father is my brother, and I am training you as my successor. I let you know the behind-the-scenes of this matter so that you can be mentally prepared."

"Things here are very complicated, and compromise is necessary. If you reach my position but don't have this mentality, you will die very quickly."

"But I..." The young man seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Ye Andao.

"Alright, when you go back, think carefully about the key points involved. Once you've figured it out, you've taken the first step. I'll handle the rest of the matter."

The young man had no choice but to nod silently.

Seeing his lost look, Ye Andao stood up and patted his shoulder: "I was also your age, I understand your current thoughts, but in life and work, the most important thing is -"

Bang-!

The office door was kicked open.

The creaking door cried out about the violence of the person who kicked it, but Ye Andao in the room was not angry at all. He didn't even have time to frown, and his whole face turned pale immediately.

This man, who could make countless wealthy businessmen respectfully offer a glass of wine to him at a banquet, now looked as pitiful and helpless as a six-year-old child attacked by a lion in the wilderness. The young man next to him was even more direct and was completely dumbfounded.

"Guan, Your Excellency Guanyue..."

His smile was a little distorted: "You are..."

"Ah, that's not a long story."

Guan Yueli calmly explained, "I want to talk to you about something. Don't worry, it's not me."

She made way for the rising star of the Guards Bureau to make his debut.

Even if Ye Andao had a hundred guts, he wouldn't have the courage to question Chen, who was clearly being protected by Guan Yueli. The man asked in a gentle voice, "Officer Chen, were you looking for me?"

"Hello, sir." Chen saluted first, then got straight to the point, "I had no such idea at first, but Guanyue told me something."

Chen's address to Guan Yueli made Ye Andao's heart skip a beat, and her next question made his heart stop for a second.

"She said, 'I don't want to know what that infected person went through after that day.'

The girl's eyes became extremely sharp, even though the person standing in front of her was an officer who was many levels higher than her.

"Excuse me, could you explain...what's going on?"

"Hey, Xiao Chen, if you ask me that, I'll be able to practice Tai Chi." Guan Yueli curled her lips, "Why not just ask him where that unlucky guy is now?"

Chen Yiyan asked, "Where are the others?"

Ye Andao's lips were blue and moving, but he didn't say anything.

The young man who had been silent since Guan Yueli kicked the door open suddenly spoke: "He... he's dead."

Chen looked at him blankly: "What?"

"Last night at 1:20 AM." The young man glanced at Guan Yueli furtively, then quickly lowered his head and whispered, "He died in the detention room and has been sent to the Severely Infected Treatment Center... and has been dealt with."

Processing two words…how harsh.

"What about the cause of death?"

Chen stared at the young man expressionlessly.

"Ore disease... the many complications brought about by oripathy." Ye Andao spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Where's the autopsy report?"

"There's no such thing..." Ye Andao's voice was weak. "For a patient with that level of mineralogy, an autopsy is meaningless except for threatening the doctor's life."

"you--!"

Chen's eyes were filled with rage, and she took a sudden step forward, as if to punch the man in the face.

But she held back, turned her head, and said to Guan Yueli as calmly as possible:

"Guanyue, tell me, is his life force so weak that he can't even survive a night? This kind of thing... you should know, right?"

"Of course." Guan Yueli shrugged. "His body can probably last about a week."

"Then why did he die overnight?" Chen asked in a low voice.

"How should I know that?" the woman scoffed. "Just ask your boss."

"Commander Ye."

Chen stared at Ye An intently and said, "Please, answer me, why?"

Ye Andao closed his eyes:

"There are always unexpected events."

Bang!

Chen punched him hard in the face. Just this one punch completely ruined Chen's career.

"You fucking tell me."

"What do you mean! Unexpected events happen!"

The angry roar scared away everyone outside the office, and no one even dared to eavesdrop.

"There's no autopsy report, and the body has been disposed of. He could have lived for at least another week, but he died under the supervision of the Imperial Guard. Tell me... is this just a matter of fate?!"

Ye Andao, who had been punched, seemed to no longer care about anything. He simply lowered his head and replied calmly, "I'm sorry, Officer Chen."

"Is an apology enough?" Chen Chong stepped forward and grabbed his collar. "Tell me how he died, who killed him, and who asked you, the Imperial Guard, to get rid of such an innocent man who already had not much time left!"

Guan Yueli stood aside, she looked at the girl's angry face, without smiling, just looked at her quietly.

"Chen, Officer Chen." The young man surnamed Cao said in a panic, "Sir Ye has his own difficulties. Don't be like this..."

“Hardship!”

Chen was so angry that he laughed: "The top brass of the Imperial Guard, because of hardship, wiped out the traces of a person at the bottom of society who had already lost everything. This hardship is really... too bitter!"

The raging anger in her eyes seemed to infect the young man, and the young police officer gritted his teeth and said, "Officer Chen, listen to me—"

"Cao Lin!"

Ye Andao, who had been behaving well, suddenly roared, "Shut up!"

"...Sorry, Ye Sir."

The young police officer's eyes were full of determination: "I don't think my father...would want me to become such a person."

Ye Andao staggered backward and fell to the wall with a dejected look on his face.

All things come to an end.

If only Chen rushed in, it wouldn't matter how angry the prince was or how violent he acted.

But... there is another person backing her up.

A more terrifying monster.

Officer Cao solemnly explained to Chen: "The victim's name is Yu Ankang. Yes, he is the victim, Officer Chen."

"He has been imprisoned and abused by Mu Shu, the chairman of Duanlong Group. This severe mineralogy is also..."

"Because the traces were very obvious, we found the place where Yu Ankang escaped by simply checking the surveillance footage, so we easily locked onto the target."

"Then why don't you catch him?"

Chen interrupted Cao Lin expressionlessly: "Why don't you arrest him? Instead of explaining to me why you 'disposed' of the victim when you have evidence?"

"because……"
