Xu Qian snapped back to reality and continued, "Why did you stay by Jiang Shuo's side?"
In her opinion, he was still a decent person, so why would he stay with that scumbag, even changing his name?
Yan Huai sighed. In his past life, he was too stubborn, following whoever saved him.
"It was a moment of heat."
The two seemed to have returned to their past life, chatting like ordinary friends.
Suddenly, Yan Huai asked very seriously, "Do we, still have a chance?"
Xu Qian's heart remained unmoved, and she shook her head. "Yan Huai, let's just be friends."
He had treated her well in the past life, but that didn't mean she loved him.
In that environment, there was no love.
Yan Huai had already guessed the outcome, but he was unwilling to give up.
"Ye Yunzhou works at Hope Hospital. You can visit him if you have time. He cares about you a lot too."
Xu Qian's eyes flickered, and she nodded.
Ye Yunzhou, it's been a long time since they last met.
"If you need any help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."
Yan Huai knew she had many secrets, but those were not important.
There were all sorts of wonders in the world.
He felt very guilty towards Xu Qian.
If he had rushed back in time, would the outcome have been different?
Xu Qian agreed readily.
Putting aside the events of their past life, he was still one of the ten strongest individuals. It was better to make friends than enemies.
"By the way, why didn't you kill Jiang Shuo?"
Logically, she should have dealt with him first upon her return.
A cold smile tugged at Xu Qian's lips. "He lives in the sewers, and that's the best punishment for him."
In her past life, Jiang Shuo had been such a proud man!
Xu Qian returned to the base just as it was 6 PM, prime dinner time.
Killing eighty-six mutated humans brought her over sixty thousand points, astonishing the inspectors.
Qian's personal ranking immediately shot up into the top five hundred.
Xu Qian went straight back to the villa, only to find it empty, even Xiao Hei was gone.
Suddenly, a man in black appeared out of nowhere.
He bowed ninety degrees and said indifferently, "The Authority is in his office and instructed that you go see him upon your return."
Xu Qian glanced at him. The man wore a black mask covering half his face, revealing only his thick black eyebrows and sharp black eyes. He was dressed entirely in black.
"Where is his office?"
The man in black was taken aback. He truly hadn't expected anyone to not know where the Authority's office was.
Explaining orally was too difficult.
"I'll take you there."
"Okay."
Although Hope Base was large, most people walked, with a few using electric scooters or bicycles.
Cars were banned in Hope Base, including for the Authority.
Xu Qian found this rule extremely inconvenient, as walking took a long time.
The two walked for at least ten minutes before arriving at a library.
Guan Weiyun actually worked in a library?
The first floor was a large conference room, the second floor was the library, with a sparse scattering of people reading.
Apart from their footsteps, it was quiet.
The third floor housed the Authority's office. Outside the office was a large open space with a pet bed and some toys.
The man in black knocked on the door and called softly, "Authority, Miss Xu is here."
"Come in."
As the man in black opened the door, a black panther lunged forward.
The man in black quickly retreated a few steps in alarm.
This black panther was not something ordinary people could handle.
It was rumored that the Authority kept this panther to ward off women, as there were always foolish individuals who would try to send women to him.
Xu Qian dragged the persistent black panther into the office.
The office was spacious, with a desk estimated to be three meters long, completely covered in documents.
Behind the man, an entire wall of cabinets was filled with files.
To the side, there was a long sofa and a small coffee table. The floor was covered with a plush carpet, making no sound as their feet stepped on it.
The man was engrossed in flipping through documents page by page, not even looking up.
"Sit down, we'll go eat later."
