“You remember me!” Mu Xinfey exclaimed angrily, but there was a hint of joy deep in her eyes.
Although Ye Zhongming was puzzled by Mu Xinfey's sudden disappearance back then, he only felt confused for a short while before completely forgetting about this former Murderous Rose. After all, she was someone unrelated to him.
Now that she appeared here, she should be from the resistance zone. This could explain why she vanished back then.
But why was this woman going crazy? She was openly scolding him by name, and this was only their second meeting.
“Are you sure you’ve got the right person?”
Out of respect for the former nine-star expert, Ye Zhongming asked with slight displeasure.
“Got the wrong person?” Mu Xinfey scoffed, her brows furrowing, “I’m talking about you, the scoundrel who abandoned his woman!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. My patience is limited. You can leave now.”
“Don’t know what I’m talking about? Let me remind you, you remember Bai Shishi, right?”
Ye Zhongming’s eyes widened instantly, and his heart trembled.
Was she talking about Bai Shishi?
His memories quickly flashed back to the small house next to the school, and many things began to resurface in his mind.
Mu Xinfey carefully observed Ye Zhongming’s expression, feeling relieved as she revealed a bit of pride, then quickly concealed it.
“Remember now? That day you left alone, leaving her behind. Do you think you’re being fair to the woman who stayed with you for two years? You…”
“You’d better shut up!” Ye Zhongming’s expression suddenly turned ferocious, “How much do you know about other people’s affairs? Are you qualified to lecture me?”
Mu Xinfey was taken aback, not expecting Ye Zhongming to suddenly turn hostile. She quickly thought it over and then softened her tone, “Of course, I know everything. Although she… made her choice and didn’t respond to your pleas, that doesn’t justify your unclear departure.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t speak further, merely narrowing his eyes as he stared at Mu Xinfey.
“She’s still alive. I saved her, and she has been with me ever since, not with that Qin Jun.”
Mu Xinfey quickly delivered this information and continued, “I’m currently the acting commander of Area S1, and Shishi is my adjutant.”
After saying this, she turned to leave.
Ye Zhongming watched Mu Xinfey’s back, remaining silent for a long time.
………………………………………………
Once Mu Xinfey exited the camp, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. An older man approached her, and upon seeing her safe and sound, he displayed a relaxed expression.
“Miss, everything go smoothly?”
Mu Xinfey nodded, “Although this guy is a bit moody like those from the apocalypse, I can see he hasn’t lost his humanity. Even if he has no feelings left for Shishi, there will still be some sentiments. Our plan has a good chance of success.”
After thinking for a moment, Mu Xinfey said, “Uncle Bao, please keep a close watch on the situation here. You can also activate your line over in Area T. I need to know the specifics of their negotiations with Ye Zhongming, and at the very least, I need to know if they will bring out the Rong Clan Holy Armor.”
The middle-aged man nodded and then expressed concern, “What about Vice Officer Bai…”
Mu Xinfey smiled, “It’s fine. Even though I came here without telling her, my intentions are not pure; I’m using her past. But I think if she finds out, she won’t blame me. I never intended to harm her, and perhaps this might even help her reconnect with Ye Zhongming.”
“Then that’s for the best. Our efforts won’t be in vain. If we can obtain the magic crystal weapons, even if... sacrifices are made, it would still be worthwhile.” Uncle Bao glanced around and then quietly vanished.
Mu Xinfey looked back at the nearby Cloud Summit Villa’s base and sighed helplessly.
“Shishi, don’t blame me. I just don’t want to miss any opportunity that could help Area S out of its predicament.”
