Bai Jiayu stared blankly in front of him. [She is coming? No. I don"t think she knew of our existence yet, since if she did then during the meeting Hestia would have let her in. So the trio would lure her into the headquarters. Sigh. They should have told us beforehand.]Bai Jiayu sighed and snapped out of his thoughts. He stood up and looked through the window.
[I guess it is time to reveal ourselves isn"t it? Okay. Leave the preparation to us.]
With that, he walked to the main hall.
"Boss!"
"Apollo!"
Bai Jiayu nodded. Bai Jiayu made eye contact with everyone before speaking.
"Our Theia is in danger, therefore be expected to be sent on missions unexpectedly."
"Our Theia?!"
"Who dares!"
Everyone has a burning look in their eyes, determined to find out the culprit and a.s.sist the best they could. Although they are not as strong as the higher ups, they add to the manpower and support.
"And also, the reunion party is in 5 days. During the reunion party, it is time to reveal ourselves to Theia. Hestia, Hepstaustes, Morpheus and Adonis will lead Theia here at the reunion party. So be prepared."
Everyone was caught off guard. Bai Jiayu left before they recovered from the momentary shock.
"Theia is coming?!"
"Gos.h.!.+ Preparations!"
"We need to make it more extravagant this year!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"I"ll help you. Come on! We only have 4 days."
With that, most of the people in the main hall scattered, fixing up design, gathering materials and so forth.
France
"She"s coming?"
Zhao Cheng stood up.
He calls for his secretary.
"Cancel all the meetings we have today."
He then points at the pile of paperwork on his desk.
"Double the pay."
Then he walked off.
The secretary stared at his Ceo as he walked off. [...why am I always the one doing the paperwork?! But...double the pay. Sigh. Fine.]
The secretary sighed. He carried the doc.u.ment to the couch nearby and focused on the work, after telling his co-workers.
Co-worker 1: Again?
Co-worker 2: Sigh. I don"t know if he is lucky or unlucky.
Co-worker 3: I wonder why the boss is leaving?
Co-worker 1: Fufufufufu. Sounds like there is a woman behind this.
Co-worker 2: Or a man!
Co-worker 3: 2! You are nosebleeding! Are you feeling alright?
Co-worker 2: Yes, yes. I"m fine.
j.a.pan
"Finally! I need to prepare a gift!"
Redi rushed off from his hiding place.
[Flight ticket! Flight ticket! Wait. I could...]
"Mr.s.h.i.+ota! I need you to bring me to China, Shanghai, tomorrow!"
"Roger!"
[The faster I get there, the better. Hehehe, thankfully, we had our own private jet.]
New York
Jiaozi is operating 3 computers and a phone at the same time. She is booking a flight on one, hacking on the other two. On the phone, she is scrolling through her phone to find if there is something as a gift she could bring for Theia.
Her eyes flickered in the dark, mult.i.tasking.
"Hm? Amusing. Found you."
Her smile formed into a smirk.
"Oh? I need to inform Adonis."
Jiaozi had finished booking a flight a moment ago.
She transferred the data to the other computer, compiling the data.
Her finger worked fast, as she sent Mantou the data.
[Finished my part. I haven"t gone out in a long time, haven"t I? Sigh. Guess I"ll have to go out today.]
Jiaozi got up and got dressed. She then went out the door.
[I wonder what the others are up to.]
Beijing, China
[That brother of mine...ugh troublesome.]
"a.s.sistant Ming, is there any important cases we will have to attend."
"Boss, if you really wanted to leave, no one can stop you anyways. So why bother asking me.?"
"Oh ho. Seems like you know me well. Good. Prepare a helicopter tomorrow at 10."
"Yes, sir."
The a.s.sistant cancelled the cases and apologized, returning the funds, as Bai Yuanyi sat on the desk scrolling through some data.
[Oh? Interesting. Looks like Theia is coming. I wonder how Jiayu reacted. Too bad, I"m not there in person to see the reaction. Now about the gift...what should I prepare?]
"Lan jie, let"s go pick up Mantou."
"Hm."
Dilireba stared at the weapon in her hand.
A million questions she wanted to ask but no one to give answers.
Dilireba sighed.
[Finding the culprit… looks like it will not be easy. If the enemy"s target is me, then they would have someone nearby…]
Qi Weilan also reached the same conclusion that there is someone in their area that intended to harm Dilireba.
Qi Weilan"s instinct is telling her that there is a hidden p.a.w.n that has shown herself yet not her true side.
[Wait, that Gu Yuanxing. Why did she only appear now? Is it all a coincidence, or is she related to the murder? Either way, she is up to no good. My instinct is telling me that there is more to the girl than shown.]
Qi Weilan is very sharp. She had a unique perspective on things and drew clues that were outside the box and made connections. Her instinct is always right. Trusting her instinct, she sent a message to Mantou.
"Mantou, we are coming to pick you up. Can you tell Ki to investigate someone?"
"Mother, Ki just transferred the data to me. She left the house, so she"s temporarily not able to help. How long will it take for you to come here?"
"Ten minutes."
"Hm. Enough time. I"ll do the basic research first."
"Great, you"re the best son!"
"Of course, I am. Now, who is the person you want to investigate?"
"Gu Yuanxing."
"That woman? Okay."
Mantou pulled out his book and sat in the corner. It seems that he is reading however the book is actually a mini laptop. Since he was in the corner, and the light was very bright, no one noticed.
Mantou searches up the information about Gu Yuanxing on different sites and compiles them.
[Hm? Her disappearance and reappearance seems suspicious.]
He immediately caught on why Qi Weilan wanted to research her.
He hacked into the Gu company, where they stored data of the Gu family and what they are doing.
[Found it.]
Mantou frowned before returning back to normal so no one would catch his expression.
[Disappearance oversea. Tsk. Seems like a plot. Appearance is around a month after Reba jiejie"s marriage. Why one month after? 5 minutes before they reach here... ]
Mantou decided to see what the Gu company is doing in that one month. Mantou frowned.
The activities show that the Gu company"s acting strangely especially during the time of marriage.
