151: prom
“Ding, a Child of Destiny has been detected!”
“Name: Ye Xuan.”
“Age: 26 years old.”
“Identity: Second daughter of the Ye family in Chenjiang.”
“Appearance: 96 points.”
“Strength: Martial Arts Ming Jin (Initial Stage).”
“Background: Member of the national ace mercenary group!”
This made Chen Tianming look towards the girl.
He saw a girl with short hair, a very graceful figure, and dressed in casual clothes, walking towards the depths of the scenic area.
“Wait a moment!”
Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to walk out of his sight, Chen Tianming called out to her.
“Is something wrong?”
Ye Xuan's response was very cold, and even her tone was somewhat chilly.
“As expected of someone with the background of an ace mercenary, even her words are so cool.”
Chen Tianming secretly praised her in his heart.
“Are you Ye Xuan?”
Chen Tianming's words made Ye Xuan pause. Since she became a member of the ace mercenary group, her name had rarely been mentioned.
After all, when performing missions abroad, she had her own codename, and her identity as a mercenary had never been publicly disclosed.
On the surface, she was just the unappreciated illegitimate daughter of the Ye family, and those who knew her were mostly from a small circle.
But clearly, Chen Tianming was not one of them.
“No, you've got the wrong person.”
Without the slightest hesitation, after Ye Xuan denied it, she walked towards the depths of the scenic area.
“Hmm, she has character. It seems this will be a bit difficult.”
Although Ye Xuan denied her name, this had no effect on Chen Tianming at all. After all, it was detected by the system, so it couldn't be wrong.
He took out his phone and called Yan Yu.
“Help me look up Ye Xuan from the Ye family in Chenjiang.”
“Okay, I'll have someone look into it. I'll call you when I have news.”
Looking at the solemn Chen Tianming, Shu Ya asked curiously.
“Tianming, what's wrong? Do you know her?”
“Hmm, you could say I know her. Maybe she didn't recognize me?”
Chen Tianming couldn't tell Shu Ya about the system, so he told a white lie.
“Alright, let's go eat some delicious food and forget all the unpleasantness from before!”
With this distraction, Shu Ya's state clearly improved a lot.
They found a famous restaurant in Chenjiang called You Ran Restaurant. As soon as Chen Tianming and Shu Ya walked in, Shu Ya's phone rang.
“You go in first, I'll take a call.”
Shu Ya told Chen Tianming and then walked out to the other side of the restaurant.
“You must be Shu Ya, right?”
Shu Ya, who had just finished her call, was about to walk into the restaurant when she was stopped by a man. It was Sun Yihan, who had just been released from prison.
“Oh, he's so handsome and interesting, will he dislike me?”
“My first online dating meetup, will it die on sight?”
“I wonder what his first impression of me is, will he think I'm too alluring?”
“I should have worn that white dress.”
“Hmm, who is this person? How does he know my name?”
Sun Yihan, standing in front of Shu Ya, had already heard Shu Ya's thoughts. The previous ones were clearly about Chen Tianming, and the last one, obviously, was about himself.
“Online dating meetups are unreliable, and he's so powerful, he definitely won't like you.”
“Unlike me, I am your boyfriend, I like you very much, and you are deeply infatuated with me.”
“You don't need to contact that unreliable online dating partner anymore.”
Sun Yihan's seductive voice sounded, and the power of the Golden Finger activated. Shu Ya was first a bit dazed, then nodded blankly.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come with me.”
Sun Yihan saw that the time was right and quickly said to Shu Ya.
But to Sun Yihan's shock, Shu Ya actually shook her head.
“No, I want to say goodbye to him before I leave!”
Sun Yihan almost vomited blood. He didn't expect Shu Ya, in this strange state, to still be thinking of Chen Tianming.
However, he had no other choice but to agree.
“Chen Tianming, I'm leaving, goodbye.”
Walking into the restaurant, Shu Ya somewhat blankly said to Chen Tianming, then turned and left.
Seeing Shu Ya like this, Chen Tianming vaguely felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to stop Shu Ya, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Yan Yu calling, Chen Tianming had no choice but to give up asking Shu Ya and answered the call.
“The Ye Xuan you mentioned, we've investigated. She is the daughter of Ye Chen, the head of the Ye family, but she was born to an outside mistress and was only brought back home at the age of fourteen.”
“However, she has always been unappreciated at home, and even faced various forms of ostracism.”
“Before being brought home, she seemed to have had contact with some underground organizations.”
“As for the rest, because it's too secretive, it might take us some time to find out.”
“Oh, and we also found out that Ye Xuan is attending a ball tonight.”
Yan Yu quickly provided a detailed account of Ye Xuan's information.
“That's enough. Organize the information about the ball and get me an invitation.”
“Also, send someone to keep an eye on a girl named Shu Ya and make sure she doesn't encounter any danger.”
Thinking of Shu Ya's strange state earlier, Chen Tianming still added that.
Not long after, Chen Tianming's phone received various pieces of information about the ball, as well as a gilded invitation.
Looking at these, Chen Tianming temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
By evening, when Chen Tianming arrived at the ball, it was already bustling with people.
With a movement of Chen Tianming's spiritual energy, Ye Xuan's figure immediately appeared within his sight.
Looking at Ye Xuan, who was dressed very purely and innocently, Chen Tianming's lips curled up, and he slowly walked over.
“Oh dear, this wine is so strong, I don't think I can drink it.”
“Please excuse me for a moment.”
Looking at Ye Xuan, who was acting quite convincingly, Chen Tianming slowly approached her, It was right in front of her..
“Why is it you again?”
Seeing Chen Tianming, Ye Xuan was first stunned, then said somewhat coldly.
“What, am I very surprising to you?”
“That fragile look you put on just now was really convincing.”
“You, as a special forces soldier, would also have such a fragile image?”
Chen Tianming's words immediately put Ye Xuan on alert.
“Who exactly are you?!”
“Me? I'm just an ordinary person, I just happen to know you.”
Ye Xuan didn't listen to a single word Chen Tianming said, merely looking at him with cold eyes.
“Impossible!”
“What's your purpose? Tell me quickly, or I won't be polite.”
As Ye Xuan spoke, her right foot subtly shifted a step, clearly blocking Chen Tianming's retreat.
“You're overthinking it, I have no purpose.”
Seeing Chen Tianming still being stubborn, Ye Xuan secretly kicked towards Chen Tianming's calf.
