Fang Xin shook his wrist.
"Are you going to talk or not?!"
Ma Gu lifted his head, his face pale, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and said weakly, "Damn it, ask me what you want to know!"
Tai Shi Bo gently patted Fang Xin's shoulder, "Xiao Xin, he's probably said all he can. When Zhuge arrives later, he will personally send him to the Number One Taixu Experimental Base."
Fang Xin walked out of the interrogation room. As he was leaving, he subconsciously turned his head to glance at Ma Gu. If this bastard was sent to the Taixu Experimental Base, it basically meant he would be used as a lab rat for researching that potion.
However, according to Bai Mao Zai, they could only research up to eighty-five percent. But Fang Xin still couldn't be too lax; he had to be the first to possess this kind of thing, and it had to be even more advanced.
He needed to find time to get Ma Fuxiao a few more suitable assistants. Otherwise, relying solely on Ma Fuxiao, the progress would be somewhat slow.
After such a long interrogation, even Fang Xin, a Strength-based Mangfu, needed to relax a bit.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Fang Xin sat at his desk, opened his computer, and prepared for a thrilling game of Minesweeper.
Xiao Lu Jie knocked on the door and entered.
Fang Xin stood up. Xiao Lu Jie's position in the Ninth Division was not low; she held several positions there. She was both the secretary to Deputy Director Bai Mao Zai and the head of the Logistics Department. This lucrative position was not something just anyone could hold.
Firstly, her grandfather was one of the founding elders of the Ninth Division. Secondly, Fang Xin had only recently learned from overhearing conversations that Xiao Lu Jie's mother and Bai Mao Zai's brother-in-law's wife were biological sisters. They were distantly related, so Bai Mao Zai could barely be considered Xiao Lu Jie's elder brother. Few in the Ninth Division dared to disrespect Bai Mao Zai.
"Xiao Lu Jie!" Fang Xin stood up and greeted her.
Xiao Lu Jie smiled sweetly, "Xiao Xin, the time for the great decisive battle in the North is getting closer. Our Ninth Division also needs to send a group of people from the rear. Do you want to go?"
Fang Xin's success was entirely due to fighting and killing. For such a matter, Fang Xin would definitely go, "Yes!"
Xiao Lu Jie smiled again, "Don't be in a hurry, I haven't finished yet. The war in the North is tense, and other places are also stirring. In recent days, many foreign enemies have appeared in the Southwest and Eastern regions, attempting to take advantage of the great decisive battle in the North. So these two areas also need more personnel.
After several rounds of meetings, the higher-ups made a decision: before the final battle in the North begins, they will secretly gather forces to launch a sudden, targeted attack on the stirring enemies in the East and Southwest, extinguishing their arrogance, and then fully focus on the war in the North.
The list has already been drawn up, and you are on the list for the East. Now you need to let your people rest. Depart promptly at 3 AM!"
"Understood, Xiao Lu Jie!"
Xiao Lu Jie showed no intention of leaving. Fang Xin was a bit confused. Logically, such matters were sent via the zhilian device. If the mission level was too high, it would be conveyed directly to Fang Xin by Tai Shi Bo or Bai Mao Zai.
"Is there anything else, Xiao Lu Jie?" Fang Xin asked, puzzled.
Xiao Lu Jie playfully blinked, taking out a brand new shoe box from her spatial ring, "Here, this is for you!"
Fang Xin took it, puzzled. Inside was a pair of new shoes. "Is this some kind of welfare from our unit?"
Xiao Lu Jie laughed exasperatedly, "When you were on a mission before, Yanzhi hurt her foot, and you gave her your shoes. She dirtied your shoes, so she bought you a new pair."
Fang Xin vaguely remembered that such a thing had indeed happened. "This is too much!"
In a flash, Fang Xin also remembered that Yanzhi had previously asked Xiao Lu Jie to give Fang Xin a bracelet. During the mission, he was so busy dealing with Ma Gu that he forgot to return the bracelet to Yanzhi, and now this happened again.
"It's just a pair of shoes, there's no need for this!"
Xiao Lu Jie shook her head, "Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Xin, you really are a master at playing dumb!"
Fang Xin's face was full of innocence, blinking his big, innocent eyes, "What are you talking about, Xiao Lu Jie?"
"My sister, that otaku who fantasizes about spending the rest of her life with a 2D boyfriend, is showing interest in a guy for the first time. Not just people, even the big yellow dog guarding the gate of our Ninth Division can tell that my otaku sister has a crush on you." As she spoke, Xiao Lu Jie raised an eyebrow at Fang Xin, implying matchmaking, "How about you two give it a try?"
Faced with such matchmaking, Fang Xin's approach was simple and direct.
Fang Xin smiled shyly, and said somewhat awkwardly to Xiao Lu Jie, "Xiao Lu Jie, actually, actually, from the first time I saw you, I fell for you. The one I truly like is you."
Xiao Lu Jie's face stiffened, her cheeks suddenly turning pink, even her ears followed suit, a delightful shade of rosy pink. For a moment, she stammered.
"Xiao Xin, you... you... wow, I'm older than you! No! You're the guy my sister likes! You can't do this!"
As she spoke, Xiao Lu Jie rushed out the door and fled in a panic. Fang Xin stood at the doorway, looking out, grinning mischievously at Xiao Lu Jie's retreating figure, and deliberately said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Lu, why are you running? I haven't finished yet!"
With a bang, Xiao Lu Jie opened and closed her office door, then patted her soft, rosy, warm cheeks with both hands.
Xiao Lu Jie vigorously shook her head, "You can't do this!"
Fang Xin leisurely sat back down and casually put the new shoes into his spatial ring.
The zhilian device vibrated. Fang Xin quickly scanned the content and then assigned the mission to his team members, telling them to rest starting now. Because the mission level was relatively high, he didn't tell his subordinates what exactly they were going to do yet.
Fang Xin rubbed his Jingming acupoint, easing his mind.
His phone vibrated. Fang Xin picked it up and saw it was the small group chat for the Crown Princes of various factions.
Zhao Qinghu, nicknamed Zhao Diaosi by Bai Mao Zai, sent a message, "Bai Mao, I was in a meeting just now, and those bastards from the Church were there. I didn't ask, but wasn't that big weapon of the Church transported to the North? Can you find a way to lend me that big weapon for a couple of days to play with?"
Bai Mao Zai replied quickly, "For you? The Church's stuff, even if they gave it to you, you couldn't use it. Only those with Light-Based Talent can use it. You holding it would be like an old eunuch visiting a brothel, you can only touch but not play, getting anxious for no use."
"Damn it, I'll even settle for touching it! I've always heard about such a thing but have never seen it. If it's really not possible, just take me to see it!"
"Later, not now!"
Zhao Qinghu sent several question marks in a row, "??? Why? Are you whoring?"
"I'm at the mansion of that Heavenly King from the Eternal Night Army. His chef's cooking is delicious, so I came in to eat something. I didn't expect that old geezer to show up. And not only did he show up, but he's also playing with his own maid! At his age, he has no shame. It made my face red. I thought it would be over in a few minutes, but half an hour has passed, and he's still going at it. My legs are numb from squatting in the cupboard. Damn you, Zhao Qinghu, stop video calling me! I'm not live-streaming!"
