CHAPTER 765: CHAPTER 762: RETURN TO THE CAPITAL

Hearing Tang Tang calling Shen Siyuan ’Dad’, Dou Dou was astonished.

She immediately stood in front of Shen Siyuan and said to Tang Tang, "Potato is mine, he’s not your dad."

Tang Tang: →_→

Tang Tang squinted at her with small eyes, then turned to look at Tao Guangsha on the side.

Dou Dou quickly ran over again, blocking in front of Tao Guangsha.

But as such a short little thing, who could she really block? She was caught off guard, being played around by Tang Tang.

In the end, it was Jiang Wenxin who couldn’t stand watching anymore, proactively opening something that attracted Tang Tang away.

"She’s really bad, right? And she’s called Tang Tang, but she’s not sweet at all, it’s a lie."

Seeing Tang Tang leave, Dou Dou sneaked a complaint to her dad.

Tao Guangsha found it amusing, so he asked, "How do you know she’s not sweet?"

"I secretly tasted her."

"Uh... You said you licked her, where did you lick her?" Tao Guangsha was speechless.

Dou Dou pointed to her own cheek, "Of course the cheek, not the mouth. She drools every day, it’s dirty... dirty... Dad, do you think her drool is sweet?"

"Of course not, besides, you’re not supposed to eat, are you?" Tao Guangsha covered his face.

"I didn’t eat anything, I just tasted, plus she smells really good." Dou Dou said, swallowing a bit of saliva.

"What do you mean she smells good?" Tao Guangsha became nervous.

"Tang Tang, she smells nice, looks delicious." Dou Dou said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this, Tao Guangsha immediately turned to Shen Siyuan, anxiously asking, "Dou Dou’s situation is okay, right?"

He was really afraid Dou Dou would become a man-eating ghost, and even if not, absorbing people’s essence energy wouldn’t be good either, just like in the TV shows.

Shen Siyuan just laughed and shook his head, "Ghosts can eat Qi because they have special senses of smell and taste, perceiving flavors through Qi. So theoretically, they can consume the Qi of anything, including people, but these don’t really have any effect."

Hearing Shen Siyuan say this, Tao Guangsha let out a long breath and couldn’t help but curiously ask, "What does Dad taste like?"

"Stinky."

Tao Guangsha: ...

Meanwhile, after receiving the Elixir, Song Meixian wasted no time and headed straight to the airport, preparing to fly back to Xiajing.

Upon hurriedly arriving at the airport, she realized Zhong Xiaonan was still trailing behind her.

"You don’t need to go back with me, stay in Bin Hai in case Mr. Shen needs to be contacted." Song Meixian quickly said.

Zhong Xiaonan didn’t speak and instead set her sights on the suitcase Song Meixian was holding.

This type of coded suitcase had extremely high security. Even if someone stole it, without the code, it would be difficult to open.

The suitcase was meant to transport important documents or items, originally kept in the car as a backup, not expecting it to be used this time.

Noticing Zhong Xiaonan’s gaze, Song Meixian directly moved the suitcase behind her.

"Don’t even think about it, is this something you can covet? So many people are waiting, with only twenty pills available, not enough to go around, it won’t possibly be our turn."

Zhong Xiaonan said nothing but shifted her gaze away, seemingly stating she didn’t care.

Song Meixian sighed, humorous as she said, "You should interact more with Mr. Shen. If you coax him well, getting a pill from him would be a breeze, right?"

Zhong Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "He doesn’t want to sleep with me."

Song Meixian: ...

"What kind of audacious talk is that? Besides, I didn’t mean you should sleep with him." Song Meixian was a bit flustered yet amused.

This person is a bit naive, and therefore sometimes really says surprising things.

Then turning the topic, "How do you know without trying?"

"I can feel it," Zhong Xiaonan said.

"Alright, do as you see fit." Song Meixian didn’t give Zhong Xiaonan many instructions.

In her view, Shen Siyuan probably liked her for being a silly beauty, adding too many instructions might make Zhong Xiaonan seem scheming, which could be unappealing to him.

Shen Siyuan, while powerful, wasn’t unmatched, as the nation itself had great forces unimaginable, though they might not confront Shen Siyuan directly, their comprehensive analysis of his life’s activities could yield much information, even understanding Shen Siyuan’s likes and dislikes better than himself.

Song Meixian entered a special passage and boarded a dedicated flight to Xiajing.

In just over two hours, she was in Xiajing.

As soon as she landed in Xiajing, a large group was waiting for her, even Special Affairs Bureau’s Director Wu Xing had come personally.

"Director." Seeing Wu Lao San, Song Meixian was somewhat surprised.

"Surprised?" Wu Xing smiled and said.

Song Meixian nodded, she knew the Elixir was important but didn’t expect the higher-ups to prioritize it to such a degree.

After all, the Elixir wasn’t an Immortality Pill, it just restored youth and delayed aging, although admittedly, still quite significant.

"I was worried there might be an unexpected incident," Wu Xing said.

"Incident?"

Song Meixian was taken aback, was there really someone daring enough to seize things from their Special Affairs Bureau?

Wu Xing laughed and said, "What’s Special Affairs Bureau? The people in it aren’t all gods, they’re the same as anyone, just human, and if they’re human, there’s nothing they wouldn’t dare to provoke."

Song Meixian didn’t say anything, but she knew anyone bold enough to challenge the Special Affairs Bureau wouldn’t be an ordinary person.

"Last time’s Elixir, even though we kept it tightly under wraps, was still known to some powerful beings, especially among some ladies. Many came directly looking for me, all watching me closely," Wu Xing sighed.

"Director, are we supposed to be afraid of them?" Song Meixian asked in displeasure.

Wu Xing glanced at her cautiously, if Zhong Xiaonan had said this, he’d believe it, but from Song Meixian, Wu Xing wasn’t buying it at all, interpreting it as indirectly probing on who they were.

"We have no choice; the people in our Special Affairs Bureau need to eat too. These things aren’t free, every year hoping for the upper hand’s allocations, and besides that, you field operatives, coordinating various resources, it’s not something money can fix, it’s all about interpersonal connections..."

Wu Xing spoke elaboratively yet revealed nothing about who these people were.

Song Meixian didn’t press further but said, "I don’t care who the Elixirs go to, but what Mr. Shen requires involves a lot of funding, so whoever gets it, they better have the money; otherwise, I won’t be able to do my work."

"Don’t worry about that, no matter how capable they are, getting anything from me for free isn’t happening, I may be easy-going, but follow my rules they must, and for those who don’t, I have my methods..." Wu Xing said nonchalantly.

Yet his words were extremely assertive.

"Director, you’re impressive." Song Meixian gave Wu Xing a thumbs-up.

"Maintaining ties with Mr. Shen requires sincere efforts, it’s not a one-time deal..."

"Rest assured, Director, I understand. By the way, how’s the research on the mental method sent back a few days ago?"

Wu Xing shook his head, "No progress, the mental method only suits Xiao Nan, but this does make us more certain about one thing."

"What is it?" Song Meixian asked curiously.
