Chapter 249: Not as Simple as She Appears

There was a commotion at the entrance and students whispered, “So Qu Yi is really from the Qu family…”

Qu Yi had made a trip to Jiang City No.1 Middle School’s arts festival.

At that time, there were still people guessing Qu Yi and Qu Jing’s relationship. Now that they saw the two of them appearing at the same time, it was inevitable that they would gossip.

Qu Yi pushed open the door and walked in. Almost immediately, he saw the girl sitting coldly in the corner.

They hadn’t seen each other for half a year. Her hair had grown to her shoulders, and although she hadn’t tied it up, she couldn’t hide the coldness she exuded.

A shadow loomed over her. Nian Yue looked up and saw who it was, but her eyes did not waver.

“Nian Yue, long time no see. Hope you are well.”

Qu Yi came over and greeted her. Nian Yue’s lips twitched. “You too.”

She wasn’t too familiar with Qu Yi. At most, when they were filming ‘The Commander’, the two of them had stayed in their own production team.

Not to mention, she had all her scenes together. When she was shooting, Qu Yi did not have much time on the set.

At most, they would just make up a few scenes.

The two of them greeted one another briefly. Qu Yi had already gone to the door to talk to Qu Jing.

“Brother, do you know her?”

Qu Jing took a sip of water and one could not tell if he was happy or angry from his voice.

“A very good seedling.” Qu Yi felt a little regretful. He had thought that Nian Yue would become famous in the entertainment circle after filming ‘The Commander’, but she had gone missing in the past half a year.

There was also no news about her on the internet.

“In this day and age, there’s no lack of talent.” Qu Jing sneered.

Towards Nian Yue, he could not say that he liked her. He even felt a little disgusted.

The reason was probably because Nian Yue was more popular than him and was admired and liked by the people around her.

“But she…”

Qu Yi rubbed her temples as if he hadn’t thought of a suitable adjective. “has better talent.”

Not everyone could catch Shen Jinran’s eye on their first shoot.

This meal was a little boring and Nian Yue almost did not touch her chopsticks.

She did not like crowds. When the meal ended and someone suggested going to a karaoke, Nian Yue went straight back to school.

The group of people parted at the entrance. Nian Yue casually took her car keys and drove away.

Qu Jing unintentionally caught a glimpse of the black Maybach and shock flashed across his eyes. “The military car plate?”

He knew better than anyone how strict the Imperial Capital Military District was.

No matter how rich Nian Yue was, it was impossible for her to get the military car plate.

Or was she from the military?

“That car seems to be from the Fu family,” Qu Yi said. “The Fu family and the Imperial Capital Military District. Your high school classmate is not as simple as she appears.”

This was the first time he felt that a person was unfathomable.

This was the person he had once looked down on.

“Brother!”

Qu Fu got down from the sports car and walked over in two or three steps. “Have you gone to the Fu family?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Xiuyuan has left Continent W and hasn’t returned today.” Qu Fu’s expression was not good. “I’m afraid something will happen to him.”

Although Fu Xiuyuan was often elusive, she could usually get a rough idea from Jiang Jincheng.

However, it was the first time she had been unable to find out anything for half a month.

“What did the Fu family say?” Qu Yi raised his eyebrows. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

“I didn’t ask…”

Qu Fu did not look too good.

Her relationship with Jiang Jincheng was not bad, but her relationship with Fu Xiuyuan was really average.

That man was too cold.

“You can make a trip to the Imperial University tomorrow.” Qu Yi raised her eyebrows. “Someone will know.”

…

Yin Han’s Office –

As it was night time, there were not many people in the office.

Nian Yue knocked on the door and walked in after hearing the noise.

Yin Han pointed to a seat for her. “Sit.”

Nian Yue casually hooked a chair over and sat opposite Yin Han.

“Mitchell is pleased with this mission.”

Yin Han coughed dryly and quickly got to the point.

He was clearly the leader, but when he talked to Nian Yue, he would always subconsciously feel that she was the big boss and he was the subordinate reporting work.

“Don’t forget to transfer the money to my card.” Nian Yue fixed her collar, her eyes looking a little casual.

“Of course.” Yin Han coughed dryly and his expression became more serious. “Did you guys encounter any special situations this time?”

“Water King.” Nian Yue looked up.

“What did you say?”

The sound of a fountain pen falling to the ground was heard.

Yin Han was shocked. He just felt that their mission wouldn’t be too smooth.

They never expected to meet the Water King!

“Are you very shocked?” Nian Yue crossed her arms and looked more serious.

“Water King…”

Yin Han muttered, “This is prohibited…”

Something that went against ethics shouldn’t have appeared.

It had been restricted for so many years…

“The one that surfaced this time was indeed the Water King. With the support of water-type supernatural power, its power is even greater than before,” Nian Yue said calmly. “Other than that, we also discovered something…”

“What?” Yin Han finally calmed himself down.

“The person who used the Water King is from the International Alliance.”

People from the International Alliance usually did not take action unless there was a major situation.

Mitchell and F’s deal did not meet the standards of making the International Alliance take action.

“I will report this to the president.”

Yin Han’s voice became more serious. “The special forces will not accept any missions for the time being. I suspect that your real identities have been leaked.”

The special forces were specially groomed by the country. Their identities would one day be made public.

But not now.

“General Yin’s confidentiality…”

Nian Yue stood up. She still looked a little wanton, but her aura became colder.

“I’m afraid Mr. President doesn’t know about this.”

This light sentence sent a chill down Yin Han’s spine.

During this period of time, Nian Yue had restrained her sharpness.

It gave him the illusion.

For a moment, he thought that the person in front of him was just an ordinary person.

But how could he have forgotten that she was Nian Yue?

The Nian Yue who dared to point a gun at Yang Kai without blinking!

She did not have any faith in this land. She only cared about the lives and safety of everyone in the special forces.

“I’ll give you a satisfactory answer within half a month.” Yin Han’s expression became more serious.

He had indeed neglected this matter.

At that time, he was the one who begged Nian Yue to accept the role in the special forces. She had fulfilled her promise and he should do the same.

The aloof girl had one hand in her pocket and the coldness in her eyes remained.

Hearing his promise, she did not even frown.

Then, she left.

The office returned to silence.

Yin Han heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, he was actually afraid of Nian Yue.

He couldn’t guarantee what she would do in the next second.
