69: Chapter 69: My defenses have been broken!

Five minutes later, Lu Li flew directly in a straight line to the entrance of the Special Affairs Bureau where she belonged.

As for the young ladies, she quickly wrote a convenience note for Jiang Qin from the Special Affairs Bureau on the spot, telling the few of them to go eat out casually.

All expenses incurred by the young ladies today, as long as they weren't too excessive, would be fully reimbursed by the Special Affairs Bureau.

As for what counted as too excessive, that would depend on how important Jiang Qin was, and how much money the Special Affairs Bureau had.

"Team Leader Lu! The Bureau Chief is waiting for you."

The soldier standing guard at the entrance immediately saluted Lu Li upon seeing her.

"Okay."

Lu Li responded and walked straight in.

Just then, a message from Wei Heng arrived again, saying that he and that Great Senior had already gone to the largest reception hall of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Lu Li quickened her pace, her high heels clicking loudly on the floor.

In no time, she arrived in front of the reception hall door.

Lu Li lightly knocked, and then heard Wei Heng's voice.

"Come in."

"Wei Heng, I'm here."

In such a formal setting, it was essential to give Wei Heng full Face.

She couldn't let the Great Senior see a joke made out of them.

As Lu Li entered, she saw only two people sitting in the huge reception hall.

One was naturally Wei Heng, dressed up to look presentable.

The other was a person wearing a suit of red armor.

This must be that Great Senior? He changed his equipment again.

Seeing Lu Li enter, Wei Heng quickly stood up and introduced her to Fang Xun:

"Great Senior, let me introduce you. This is Lu Li, the most outstanding Ability User in our Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau.

Lu Li, quickly come and greet the Great Senior."

"Greetings, Great Senior."

Lu Li bowed slightly with respect.

"Alright, Lu Li, sit, sit down. You are all people of Dongcheng City."

Wei Heng's words were intended to pull their relationship closer.

It seemed the effect was quite good.

After Lu Li sat down, Wei Heng took the initiative to apologize: "Great Senior, did you see the news about Jiang Qin? I hope the Great Senior won't blame me. It's just that the Great Senior is seldom seen, so I had no choice but to resort to this measure."

"No matter."

Fang Xun waved his hand: "I don't have any major business coming here."

Having said that, Fang Xun paused.

Actually, he hadn't thought of what his business was; he just came because Jiang Qin wanted him to.

Seeing Fang Xun pause, Wei Heng immediately became nervous.

No major business—when the higher-ups say there's no major business, that's precisely when one needs to be extra cautious!

"Please speak."

Wei Heng asked apprehensively.

"Hmm..."

Fang Xun pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Jiang Qin is very important."

Putting everything else aside, saying his sister was important was definitely not wrong.

"Yes."

Wei Heng immediately replied upon hearing this: "Starting a while ago, Jiang Qin's security clearance has been upgraded to the highest level.

Unless she wants others to know, no one will obtain Jiang Qin's original identity through any channel."

"Mm."

Fang Xun hummed, and then had nothing more to say.

He was actually feeling a bit awkward now; he should have thought of something to say beforehand.

Seeing Fang Xun pause again, Wei Heng immediately added: "It's not just Jiang Qin, Great Senior. If you have any needs while in Dongcheng City, just bring them up with the Special Affairs Bureau.

As long as you have a need, and as long as the Special Affairs Bureau can fulfill it."

"Then... try...?"

Fang Xun suddenly looked towards Lu Li as he heard these words.

Lu Li: "?"

Suddenly, Lu Li felt a chilling sensation.

Moreover, ever since this Great Senior started speaking, she had a strange sense of familiarity.

But she just couldn't recall where that familiarity came from.

However, this should be the first time she had heard this Great Senior speak so closely, right?

Although Fang Xun's gaze shouldn't have been noticeable beneath the Kamen Rider Kabuto mask, Wei Heng keenly felt that Fang Xun's gaze was fixed on Lu Li.

The Great Senior, could he be interested in Lu Li?

Lu Li is indeed a top-tier beauty, just a bit older.

Speaking of which, Lu Li wasn't exactly young anymore.

For a normal person her age, they would already have kids making trouble.

Thinking of this, Wei Heng's gaze drifted towards Lu Li.

They were all adults; making a small sacrifice for Dongcheng City was worth it.

Lu Li naturally noticed Wei Heng's look, and the old man's gaze immediately gave her the creeps.

That old man must not have been thinking of anything good.

At this moment, Fang Xun finally spoke.

"Change into a maid outfit?"

Wei Heng: "?"

Lu Li: "?!"

"Me... Me?"

Wei Heng swallowed hard. If the Great Senior's tastes were truly that unique, he would risk it all for Dongcheng City.

"Her."

Fang Xun raised his hand and pointed at Lu Li.

Fang Xun suddenly remembered the incident where she crushed his game cartridge.

Even though Lu Li paid the money, could money bring back the one hundred-plus hours of save data he lost?

Those few hundred dollars, trying to buy over a hundred hours of his vital essence?

Pah!

Was his hundred-plus hours of hard work only worth that little money?

"Me?"

Lu Li took a sharp breath.

That chilling feeling had indeed come true.

She just didn't know where she had offended this Great Senior.

"Yes."

Fang Xun nodded.

"Go quickly, go quickly! The Bureau will cover the expenses; get the best one."

Wei Heng glared.

It was just changing clothes; what was so hard about changing clothes?

"Yes..."

Lu Li responded and slowly retreated out the door.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"

"Yes."

Lu Li hurried out the door and slammed it shut.

Once Lu Li left, Wei Heng looked back at Fang Xun and declared:

"Great Senior, never mind such a small request. Even if you wanted to become the Bureau Chief of this Special Affairs Bureau, I could immediately hand over the position of Bureau Chief to you."

"No need, no need. I was just planning to joke with her.

Wei Heng, you can rest assured. Dongcheng City is very good. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I will not leave Dongcheng City."

"Then... if Jiang Qin leaves Dongcheng City to pursue Advanced studies in the Imperial Capital?"

Wei Heng tested.

"Then I'll go too."

Fang Xun said this without needing to think at all.

What else was there to say? Wherever his sister went, he would go.

Besides, if he didn't follow Jiang Qin, how would he get takeout every day?

Not having his sister's cooking was worse than letting him die!

Wei Heng: "..."

At this moment, Wei Heng's assessment of Jiang Qin was raised infinitely high.

This person truly doted on Jiang Qin.

But he didn't know who this person was to Jiang Qin.

He had searched through all the files but couldn't find any relatives related to Jiang Qin.

Fang Jiangqin and Fang Xun, the siblings, were orphans.

At least before Jiang Qin went to university, they hadn't contacted any relatives.

Their parents hadn't even left behind any inheritance.

The two relied on the supplies distributed by the government and the few thousand in relief funds to survive the first few months.

Later on, it was all Fang Xun supporting the family.

It was a pity that if they could have given the greatest support to the siblings back then, it would have been great.

If that were the case, Jiang Qin would definitely not forget Dongcheng City.

But fortunately, the timely assistance provided back then was enough; at least it let the siblings feel the warmth of Dongcheng City.

Just as Wei Heng was pondering, the door to the reception hall opened again.

In a moment, Lu Li walked back in.
