Chapter 8: I’m the Clown, You’re All Talented

This incident didn’t scare him until he reached his destination. Standing in front of a snow-capped mountain, he was told to carve a tunnel through it. Ye Rukun panicked. This road construction was not what he had imagined!

Remembering he had a leader’s protection, he worked slowly. But at lunch time, his team leader told him, “You didn’t work this morning, so your lunch is deducted.”

Ye Rukun exploded: “Who said I didn’t work? How dare you? Do you know who I am? You dare…”

Before he could finish, the other man punched him.

Ye Rukun winced, but before he could fight back, the other man’s fists rained down on him relentlessly.

Afterward, the man clapped his hands and said, “I don’t care who you are! You’re lazy for half a day and delaying our progress. You still have the nerve to eat? No dinner for you either. I’m warning you, if you don’t work hard, you won’t get any food. If you don’t work for two days, you won’t get paid for a month. If you don’t work for three days, I’ll bury you in the tunnel!”

He then took Ye Rukun’s lunch and went to eat it.

He didn’t know Ye Rukun’s background, but his superiors had told them to keep an eye on Ye Rukun, not letting him escape or be idle.

Now he understood. Ye Rukun had offended someone. He wouldn’t dare bury him in the tunnel, but he would dare to beat him up.

From then on, Ye Rukun worked diligently, because if he didn’t, he would get beaten up and wouldn’t have any food.

This place was surrounded by mountains on all sides, he couldn’t escape or send messages. He had to share his food with his wife, and soon they both became thin and emaciated.

Meanwhile, after sending away the Ye family father and son, Ye Qinglan put her mask back on and left the train station.

Five minutes after she left, another train arrived. A man in black, also wearing a mask, stepped out. Even with the mask, his refined eyebrows and noble demeanor were hard to conceal. His tall and upright figure made him stand out in the crowd.

He carried a suitcase in his hand, his eyes filled with displeasure!

He said to the young man accompanying him, “You can go now.”

“No, Chief Gu said I have to see the result before I can go back.”

Gu Huaizhi’s face under the mask darkened even more.

“He’s sick, are you sick too???”

He was really not happy! He was on vacation at home. Who knew his old man would go crazy and force him to come back for a blind date.

He hadn’t taken a vacation in six years, so he naturally wasn’t willing. But last night, his old man kicked open his door and ordered him to come back for a blind date.

He said, “You don’t want to join the social club, you don’t want to find a girlfriend yourself, you don’t want to go on blind dates, you don’t want this, you don’t want that. I think you want a marriage like a robbery!”

Listen to this, what kind of nonsense is this?

He also said, “You know, you’re not even on the list! Old Xie said you’re not sweet-mouthed and have a bad temper, afraid you’ll scare the girls to tears. I had to beg Old Xie to let you join the group just to make up the numbers. You still dare to refuse? I’ll kick you to the South Heavenly Gate, believe me?”

After yelling, he had his men pack Li’s things and personally escorted him to the train. Afraid he would run away, he also sent his guards with him.

Look at this, is this something a human would do?

Gu’s father’s guard: “Yes, I’m sick.”

Gu Huaizhi: “…”

What else could he do? He couldn’t argue with two sick people.

“Where’s the blind date? What’s her name? How old is she?”

Gu’s father’s guard: “Your dad said you’re not qualified to know yet.”

Gu Huaizhi: “…”

Okay, I’m the clown, you’re all talented.

But because of his father’s operation, Gu Huaizhi was actually a little curious and excited. He wasn’t even qualified to know, so how would this blind date go?

At the end of the month, it rained again in the morning.

Ye Qinglan walked to the crossroads with an umbrella and a mask, got into the car waiting there, and arrived at the office of the Eastern Military Region Intelligence Agency after an hour.

She went to see Minister Bai first. When he saw her, he smiled and asked, “How was your rest?”

“Can you really hide my rest from you?” Ye Qinglan threw her umbrella aside, “I’ve been dealing with all sorts of strange things these days. By the way, I have good news for you, I can see through walls now.”

“Really?!”

“Why don’t you go outside and do some movements, let’s try it?”

Minister Bai clapped his hands and laughed, “No need for that. Your wall-seeing ability comes just in time. There are two things I need you to do. One, we received information that a few years ago, the W country intelligence agency set up a research institute called tE906, with over 30 members, specializing in researching paranormal abilities. The specific research projects include clairvoyance, telepathy, human wall-walking, invisibility, and so on…”

S country had started this research more than 20 years ago, and some countries had even started it during wartime.

In the past, they were skeptical about clairvoyance, wall-walking, and so on, until Xiao Qing came to them and confirmed the existence of clairvoyance. Then other types of abilities also became possible.

So they wanted to search all over the country to see if there were any people with these abilities, and if there were, they would bring them back.

The second thing was to go to Xiang City in ten days and bring back a document. Speaking of this, he had to sigh, no wonder Old Xie wanted Xiao Qing, this girl could see through walls with her eyes, and her brain could remember everything she saw.

This was also why they assigned it to her instead of others. If necessary, she could destroy the original document and memorize the content to bring it back.

Thinking about this, he said:

“Xiao Qing, although we have established the Cloud Team separately, and Old Xie and the others are all vying for you, but I am your direct superior, and I am the one who designed your training plan. I think you should understand the meaning behind this. You can play a bigger role in our team.

So, you should think carefully about your affiliation and decide as soon as possible. No matter what work you do, having someone and a group of people behind you is completely different.”

Ye Qinglan stood up: “I’ll consider it.”

Of course, she understood what they meant. The higher-ups and Old Bai both wanted her to go to the Intelligence Department. The Cloud Team was meant to be a division within it.

They didn’t make it clear back then because others strongly opposed it. As for Old Xie, he wanted her to join the Special Forces.

She herself, after considering all the factors, also leaned towards the Intelligence Department. If she went to Old Xie’s place, she wouldn’t be able to sit in Old Xie’s position, but here with Old Bai, it was possible.

Minister Bai smiled: “Alright, let’s go, I’ll accompany you to see your blind date candidates.”

At that time, Gu Huaizhi had already arrived at the reception room and found that there were other people inside, quite a few!

As soon as he sat down, someone greeted him:

“Huai, what are you doing here?”
