Chapter 165 Empathy
Hei Huomian had indeed cheated: he had someone tamper with the official website and, based on his understanding of her, provided her with the questions that she would be best able to perform on.
As for the rest, both the topics and the materials provided were a bit tricky.
Shuiru, as long as it is something you want to accomplish, I will do my best to support and help you!
Bai Shuiru was held by Heihuomian around her slender waist and walked out of the office together. She happened to see Min Ying being asked by Li You to leave the meeting room and come towards her. She suddenly realized the other party's purpose and her breathing stagnated. She clenched her fist and took a deep breath, then raised her hand to push away the strong arm from her waist. Heihuomian walked quickly forward, looking at Min Ying with wandering and somewhat uneasily, "Brother Min Ying, it's so late, why are you still here? No, it can't be..."
"Since when did you start to be so scared and keep your distance when you see me?" The young man scratched the back of his head with some helplessness and amusement. "I think I have done a good job in police-civilian relations. Alas, it seems that I won't have a chance to be recognized as an advanced worker this year."
"No, no, I am." Bai Shuiru took a deep breath, smiled awkwardly and changed the subject:
"Brother Min Ying, how are you doing recently?"
Min Ying smiled but did not answer. He raised his hand and patted her shoulder naturally and kindly, explaining:
"Don't worry, I was just passing by. I saw your Mingxin security taking action, so I came up." Min Ying smiled and glanced at Hei Huomian, whose face was slightly darker, and continued:
"Don't worry, if that guy Hei Huomian really did something wrong, I will notify you to escape from him immediately."
Bai Shuiru seemed to be able to read from the young man's ink-black eyes the firm vow he made in his heart:
I can protect you and give you eternal peace of mind.
Inadvertently, Hei Huomian stepped forward, unnoticedly put his hand around Bai Shuiru's shoulders, and extended his other hand to Min Ying, "Captain Min, I'm sorry for the delay. Please come into my office and talk."
Bai Shuiru slightly opened her eyes and quickly glanced at the two men. She was about to say something when she saw Min Ying, for the first time in his life, reach out his hand to him and nod, "Hello, Mr. Hei."
Baishui nodded subconsciously and smiled gratefully. For a moment, she didn't react. Hei Huomian stepped forward and unnoticedly put his hand on Baishui's shoulders, and reached out to Min Ying.
Li You, who was waiting not far away, suddenly felt two sharp eyes scanning over him. He stood up straight and coughed deliberately and loudly, successfully attracting the attention of Bai Shuiru and Min Ying.
Min Ying took the initiative to extend his hand to Hei Huomian for the first time, "Hello, Mr. Hei."
Hei Huomian stepped forward, unnoticeably put his hand on Bai Shuiru's shoulders, and then reached out to Min Ying, "Captain Min, I'm sorry for the delay. Please come into my office and talk."
Before Hei Huomian turned around and entered the office, he looked back at the pretty figure. He lightly closed his lips and made a kissing gesture. As he wished, the girl blushed, stomped her feet coquettishly, turned around and ran away, then he closed the office door.
After Min Ying sat down, he introduced himself again in a serious tone, "Emperor Muxian of the Underworld, I am Min Ying, the new liaison officer of the Biluo Nation."
Hei Huomian was not surprised at all. He raised his hand to invite the other party to drink tea, and then he lowered his eyes and sipped the tea leisurely.
"I didn't expect that the government had reached a cooperative relationship with your underworld 76 years ago." Min Ying glanced at the teacup that was filled with steaming tea aroma, and refocused his scrutinizing gaze on the other person's face.
Hei Huomian responded calmly:
"You were able to easily find clues and solve many of these cases, including the 'March 3' vicious murder and dismemberment case, the Zhao Qi 17 billion embezzlement case, and the destruction of the Three Kingdoms spy network and the arrest of 29 spies. You should have a little credit for solving these cases."
A hint of relief flashed across Min Ying's handsome face as his speculation was confirmed. He slightly pursed his lips, trying to regain control. "However, what surprised me the most was that you were the one who recommended me to your superiors. So just now..." Min Ying slightly pulled his lips together, and met the other person's gaze with a playful smile without fear. "I also caught the clue first."
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Hei Huomian's expression was frank and calm, without any flaws. "With Captain Min's efficiency, the next step will definitely be to arrest the suspect. If you need the cooperation of Ming Xin, please let me know."
Min Ying raised his eyebrows and chin slightly, looking back at the other party with provocation and suspicion, "So you not only united with our government, but also reached an agreement with the main... gods of the foreign floating world. What is the purpose of your alliance? To deal with an unwarranted war madman who is trying to conquer all mankind on the ground by uniting multiple countries with ambitions?"
Hei Huomian did not comment, but just sipped his tea calmly, his eyes occasionally falling on the other person's face, without paying too much attention, but also without losing his politeness.
"It's better for you to make enemies of each other in your alliances, rather than destroying Guo under false pretenses." Min Ying picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He put the teacup down and stood up straight. "After all, there are many stories in history about killing people with borrowed knives and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out."
The slight sound of Hei Huomian lowering his eyes and putting down the teacup echoed the clear sound of the door closing.
As a love rival, he is not much of a threat; as a partner, he is quite vigilant.
Hei Huomian caught a glimpse of the hesitation in Li You's eyes and gave him a look.
Li You carefully considered his words and praised slowly:
"Emperor Ming, you have a good eye. You picked Min Ying out of thousands of people. His business ability is indeed outstanding."
Hei Huomian sneered and rolled his eyes at his assistant, "When did you start beating around the bush?"
"Yes." Li You lowered his eyes and nodded, secretly grinning and flattering:
"Emperor Ming, you have a unique vision and know how to use people wisely."
Hei Huomian glanced at the young man who kept shaking his head, and said lightly:
"It seems that you are tired of being my assistant."
Li You was startled and stood up to report:
"I, I'll send someone to follow up Qin Xi and the other two right away." After saying that, he disappeared on the spot.
In the teleportation channel, Li You sighed:
"Huh~ Come to think of it, at that time, the Dark Emperor did not even know the whereabouts of Miss Bai. How could he know that Min Ying and Bai Shuiru had a connection and use the promotion to control him? I am too suspicious, I am too suspicious."
When Bai Shuiru knocked on the door and entered the reception room, she happened to hear Wan Che's half-coquettish, half-threatening voice from behind the door:
"Sister! What are you eating? That woman might have been poisoned! You are not allowed to eat! I said you are not allowed to eat!"
Qin Xi opened Wan Che's lunch box, placed it in front of him, and advised:
"Your sister went to 7 or 8 bars to look for you tonight. It's past o'clock and she still hasn't had dinner. Do you think she's hungry?" He served several dishes to his fiancée, "Lanlan, this is delicious. If anything happens to us, it won't do them any good."
"Don't you know how powerful those rich people are? They can suck us into the vacuum cleaner and dump us into the trash can at any time like dust! There's no need to sort us out!" Wan Che's anger and disappointment were like an explosion, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope that he could wake up his loved ones by scolding them:
"Is it difficult for them to make us never see the light of day again, or even destroy our bodies?!"
Wanlan, who was chewing slowly, frowned slightly. Even though she was annoyed by her younger brother's words and actions today, her eyes and brows did not show much emotion. Indeed, her name suits her and her temperament is like orchid. "Aren't we safe and sound until now? If Heihuo Mian and the others are really cruel and heartless, they could have killed us on the spot when they found us, instead of wasting time listening to us talk so much." She opened her mouth slightly and was about to take a bite of the exquisite pastry, but was slapped away by her younger brother.
Bai Shuiru raised his hand to signal the secret guards not to remind Wanlan and the other three. After closing the door, he calmly explained:
"Neither Hei Huo Mian nor I had anyone poison the food. If anything happens to you, it will be in Ming Xin's heart, which will not do any good to Ming Xin."
Wanlan and the other three froze in place and turned to look at Bai Shuiru.
Wan Che's rage suddenly reached its peak. He turned around and yelled, bent over, raised his hand and swept all the cakes and hot drinks on the table to the ground, "I told you not to eat! This is so embarrassing!"
"A Che!" Wan Lan whispered to her younger brother, apologized, and started to clean up the mess with Qin Xi.
"It's okay. You don't have to rush." Bai Shuiru gently pulled Wanlan up and asked the three of them to sit down. "I came here to say that you should trust Hei Huomian. He will definitely judge this competition fairly, impartially and openly."
"Bah! Stop pretending to be sympathetic!" Wan Che ignored his sister and Qin Xi's dissuasion, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Bai Shuiru and cursed:
"You've already won the championship, but you're still pretending in front of us. Who are you trying to disgust?! Don't you know what we've been through, and how much we value every opportunity that allows us to survive and move forward?!"
Bai Shui has compassionate eyes and sits upright, calm and composed:
"Of course I know what you have been through before." After concentrating for a moment, she opened her eyes and scanned the verdicts above the heads of the three people one by one, briefly describing their experiences.
Wanlan looked calm, but her hands unconsciously clenched into fists and trembled slightly.
Wan Che suddenly wanted to stand up again, but was stopped by Qin Xi who frowned and forced to sit back on the sofa.
As soon as Bai Shuiru finished speaking, Wan Che crossed his legs and shouted impatiently:
"Is our story exciting enough? Are you satisfied?!" Wan Che spat:
"It's just an immoral way of digging into people's privacy. It's true that money makes the world go round!" He pointed casually and said, "Let your followers report to you again~! For example, how many moles do I have on my buttocks, how many pieces of meat do I eat in one meal?"
Bai Shuiru rolled her eyes at the Dark Guard Thirteen who was making a “0” sign to her and holding his stomach while laughing. “Seeing the past is not a big deal. Being able to predict the future is amazing.”
She glanced at the sentence above Wan Che's head and said, "For example, you will lose one of your front teeth, burp 39 times when you drink water, and then you will do the cleaning job that you hate the most for three months."
"What a joke! Your ancestor is so agile, how could I fall down and break my front teeth?! I also burp when drinking water, clean the house..." Wan Che puffed out his head and jumped around in the reception room, not noticing that a corner of the carpet under his feet was silently raising its corner like a snake.
"careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Che was tripped by the carpet and fell to the ground with a scream.
Fortunately, he fell on the sofa, his chin hit the armrest, and blood immediately flowed out from the corner of his lips.
"Ache, are you okay?!"
Qin Xi took the lead in stepping forward and helping his brother-in-law up.
Wanlan hurriedly handed over a glass of water and tissues with concern, and nervously checked her younger brother's injuries.
Wan Che spat something into his hand, then looked at Bai Shuiru in horror, sat down on the sofa, huddled behind his sister, drank water and rinsed his mouth, but kept burping.
“Hahaha! Who did the Queen of the Underworld learn this bluff from?!”
"It's either the seventh or the ninth! Hahaha! But we still have to rely on the two of us to save our reputation!"
"You pull the carpet and I pull the legs, perfect cooperation! Give me five!"
Bai Shuiru glanced at Dark Guard Eleven and Dark Guard Three who were laughing and clapping their hands nearby, then turned around and answered the door when she heard a gentle knock on it.
Immediately, a staff member from the Mingxin Canteen pushed a food cart in, brought fresh and hot meals, and placed them on the table.
Bai Shui smiled as if no one was around, neither hurried nor slow, and responded:
“Perhaps you have seen or heard some rumors about my life experience some time ago:
My biological mother ran away from her marriage and originally wanted her husband to raise her child with her ex-boyfriend. Then someone manipulated me and switched me with another baby girl. "
"It was more than 20 years later that my biological mother finally recognized me. Because my background was exposed, she had to pull down the girl with whom I had swapped identities and push me to continue the marriage."
