Crazy Lady, Just Do Your Best

The black helicopter landed steadily on the beach.

The cabin door slid open, and a long, slender leg wrapped in a dark gray uniform skirt stepped out first!

The black heel stepped firmly into the sand.

An Lian bent down to exit the cabin, stood up straight, and casually smoothed her black hair bun that had been ruffled by the wind.

The agent was still wearing her signature professional suit today, carrying that silver-white metal briefcase in her hand.

Her gaze swept across the azure sea and the golden beach...

...before landing on Fang Qi and Liguang, who were standing in front of the cabin!

Those light gray eyes remained as calm and unruffled as ever.

"Mr. Fang."

An Lian's voice was cold and professional.

"Sorry for the intrusion."

Fang Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

This agent lady... had such a strong aura!

It was as if she had come to the island to hold a board meeting!

The pressure was intense...

He smiled somewhat sheepishly,

"Agent An... your efficiency is truly remarkable!"

An Lian nodded slightly.

"It is my duty. The fluctuations in Liguang's data need to be confirmed as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Liguang beside Fang Qi.

Liguang had already returned to her meek and obedient appearance.

She stood with her hands folded in front of her, her head slightly bowed, and her silver hair draped smoothly over her shoulders.

Only her clasped fingers were tightening slightly.

The crazy woman... she was actually a bit nervous too!

"Agent An Lian," Liguang greeted softly, her voice sweet and proper.

An Lian's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then swept over the still clearly visible bite mark on Fang Qi's face...

Her brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

"Ahem..."

Fang Qi's face flushed red, and he coughed lightly.

This crazy woman's mark on his face was still a bit too obvious...

"Ah, hello!"

At that moment, a cheerful voice suddenly chimed in, interrupting the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Lin Xiaoyou ran out from the blue-roofed cabin next door, her bright yellow T-shirt particularly striking in the sunlight!

She leaned in close, her round face full of curiosity.

"Are you Liguang's maintenance agent? You're so pretty!"

An Lian glanced at her and gave a slight nod in response, and then...

Her gaze returned to Liguang.

Fang Qi quickly offered,

"Agent An, you've had a long journey. Why don't you come inside for a cup of tea? Or... have some seafood? We just caught it, it's very fresh!"

Although he didn't actually care much about the test results...

An Lian's aura was so strong that he couldn't help but feel a little nervous!

An Lian shook her head, her voice still calm.

"There is no need."

"This is not a comprehensive inspection, just a spot check on a few abnormal items from the last record."

She lifted the silver metal case in her hand.

"I brought the equipment. On-site sampling will be quick."

"The helicopter is waiting for me. I will leave as soon as I'm done collecting."

Fang Qi: "...?"

He instinctively turned his head to look at the black helicopter...

Sure enough, the propellers were still spinning at a low speed, and the pilot was still sitting inside with no intention of getting out.

It looked ready to take off at any moment!

...In such a hurry?

They didn't even turn off the helicopter?

Damn... professional!

Too professional!

He had previously suspected that An Lian had purposely come to his island for a paid vacation, but now it seemed...

He had judged her noble character by his own petty thoughts!

"Then... let's go inside."

He took a deep breath, grabbed Liguang's small hand, and walked toward the wooden cabin.

...Come on, just do the inspection right now!

Might as well get it over with!

Besides... maybe there's still a chance to survive this?

An Lian carried the suitcase, stepping in her high heels. The clack, clack, clack sound echoed unhurriedly behind them.

Meanwhile, Liguang's small hand was a bit cold at this moment...

She was gripping him tightly in return, with quite a bit of force!

Crazy woman...

She was nervous too!

It made sense.

This kind of island life they had right now, with no work, no socializing, no annoying people bothering them, just the two of them being lovey-dovey from morning till night...

Whether for him or for Liguang, it was a dreamlike time that they absolutely didn't want any accidents to ruin!

The sweet and affectionate island life of the two of them together...

It was also this crazy woman's ultimate, long-sought dream!

If they really detected any problems with her, then this newly begun, cozy island life would be instantly ruined!

So...

She herself also really, really wanted to pass this inspection!

Thinking of this, Fang Qi gently scratched the palm of her hand with his fingers.

You can do it, crazy woman!

Behind them, Lin Xiaoyou skipped along, muttering softly:

"This commissioner lady is so cool, like a secret agent, a woman of few words but ruthless action..."

"Plus, her legs are so long, I'm so jealous..."

Fang Qi glared at her, and she quickly made a zipping motion over her mouth, falling silent.

He pulled Liguang into the cabin.

An Lian followed closely behind.

Lin Xiaoyou sensibly didn't follow them in, but instead circled halfway around, clinging to the wooden window. She stood on tiptoe with her almond eyes wide open, looking inside like a curious baby.

The light inside the cabin was a bit dimmer than outside, carrying the faint scent of wood and the sea breeze.

An Lian's gaze fell on the center of the cabin.

"Liguang can just stand here."

She spoke as she put down the metal suitcase and opened it skillfully.

Liguang consciously walked over to the spot An Lian designated and stood still.

She still had that well-behaved appearance, and even her simulated breathing had slowed down significantly.

She adopted an absolutely cooperative posture of, I am ready, please inspect me as you wish.

Meanwhile, Fang Qi stood to the side, the warmth of Liguang's small hand still lingering in his palm.

He took a deep breath and slowly let it out.

Crazy woman, just do your best!

Whether you pass or not...

I, your master, can accept it!

An Lian looked up at the exceptionally well-behaved silver-haired girl:

"Secondary interface, left side of the back of the neck."

Liguang gave a soft Mm, obediently raising her hand, her slender fingers sweeping her silver hair to one side...

Revealing her pale, fragile neck.

An Lian stepped forward, leaned in slightly, and pressed her fingers precisely on a certain spot on the left side of the back of Liguang's neck.

Click!

A piece of bionic skin the size of a fingernail popped open slightly, revealing the faint blue fluorescent glow of the interface beneath!

Fang Qi's eyelids... twitched slightly.

He gently held his breath.

Although this was just a secondary interface, this faint blue light...

Still made his heart tighten slightly!

It instantly reminded him of... Liguang's two self-destructions.

Once in the deep mountain forest cabin, she had forcibly pulled out her own core and handed it to him trembling, only begging him not to forget.

Once in the elevator car, she had even crushed her own core, also crushing... that self carrying eighty-two years of memories.

...Crazy woman.

I absolutely will not let this kind of thing happen again!

No matter what it takes!

As for An Lian, she remained as calm and professional as ever.

She picked up a small USB drive and deftly, gently inserted it into the secondary port at the back of Liguang's neck.

Buzz—

An extremely faint operating sound echoed.

The surface of the USB drive also lit up with a faint blue light, blinking rhythmically like breathing.

The silver-haired girl's body stiffened slightly. Her fingers, clasped in front of her, curled up a bit before quickly relaxing.

She kept her eyes cast downward, her expression docile.

An Lian looked down at the data stream scrolling across her terminal screen. Her light gray eyes were focused and calm as she occasionally tapped the screen with rapid precision.

Lin Xiaoyou leaned against the wooden window, resting her chin on the sill.

She stared with wide, round almond eyes, unblinking as she watched the room... not daring to breathe at this eerie, high-tech scene.

Inside the room, it was very quiet.

So quiet that one could hear the sound of the ocean waves outside the window...

And Fang Qi's own slightly rapid heartbeat!

He stared nervously at the blinking USB drive!

Don't flash red, don't flash red...

Bro U, please don't flash red!

Let me enjoy a few more days of island life!!

Time ticked by, minute by minute, second by second.

Finally, the data stream on An Lian's terminal screen stopped scrolling!

She tapped a few times swiftly, then reached out and gently pulled the USB drive from the back of Liguang's neck.

Click.

Fang Qi slowly widened his eyes!

Huh?

No red light?

So... she passed the test?

Holy crap, then my island life...

The sunshine! The beach! The seashells! And the soft, sweet-smelling yandere wife in my arms!

It can continue...?!

The silver-haired girl also let out a soft breath, her shoulders relaxing a fraction. She raised a hand to sweep her silver hair back over her shoulder, her movements as gentle and elegant as ever.

She turned to look at Fang Qi and blinked softly.

Her amber left eye showed the relief of completing a task, and the data stream in her crimson right eye had returned to a steady rotation, carrying just a hint of...

A little expectation of being praised?

Fang Qi took a deep breath...

And then gave her a "great job" smile!

Crazy girl, I knew you could do it!

As for An Lian... she had already returned the USB drive to her metal case and snapped the lid shut in one smooth motion.

On-site sampling is complete.

She stood up straight and looked at Fang Qi:

The data needs to be taken back to the lab for in-depth analysis and cross-referencing. Once the results are out, I will contact you immediately.

Fang Qi: ?

The brilliant smile on his face froze instantly...

And then quickly collapsed!

Damn it...

So she hasn't passed yet...

This time was just data sampling!

No wonder it was so fast!

No, I was nervous for so long, and now you're telling me...

I'm just on probation?!

Oh my god, Miss Specialist, you're killing me!

How am I supposed to happily enjoy my island life during this waiting period?!

Can't you just give me a quick death!

An Lian, however, paid no mind to Fang Qi's bitter expression and calmly added:

If the data is normal, the subsequent comprehensive maintenance can proceed as originally planned.

But if there are still anomalies...

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning... was already quite clear!

Fang Qi's throat felt a little dry.

He asked with an awkward smile:

Then... Specialist An, roughly when will Liguang's results be out?

Very soon.

An Lian picked up her case and turned to walk out, her high heels clicking crisply against the wooden floor:

The lab has already reserved an analysis window. If all goes well, tonight, or tomorrow morning.

She walked to the door, the sea breeze blowing the loose strands of hair at her temples.

Oh... that is not too bad. I will not have to wait too long.

Fang Qi had just barely managed to comfort himself with this thought when he saw An Lian pause her steps. She looked back at Liguang, who was still standing in place with her eyes slightly downcast.

She then looked at Fang Qi's complicated expression and reminded him in a flat tone:

"Before the final results are confirmed, it is recommended to maintain the status quo and avoid excessive emotional stimulation."

"Got it!"

Fang Qi hurriedly nodded to show he understood.

She nodded in return as a farewell, her expression as aloof as ever.

Then, walking in her high heels, she stepped out the door toward the black helicopter that was still on standby.

The sea breeze whipped up the hem of her dark gray skirt.

The cabin door slid open. She bent down and slipped inside with crisp, fluid movements, disappearing into the cabin along with that silver-white case.

And then...

Fang Qi watched helplessly as the helicopter's rotors accelerated.

Kicking up an even larger cloud of sand and dust, it let out a deafening roar...

Lifted off...

Flew back in the direction it had come from...

Getting smaller and smaller...

Until it finally became an almost invisible little black dot on the horizon!

This Miss Commissioner, from the moment she arrived to the moment she left—questioning, inspecting, giving instructions...

Had taken less than fifteen minutes in total!

He stood at the door of the small house, his hand still half-raised in a waving posture, with a completely dumbfounded expression...

Staring in the direction the helicopter had vanished!

Wait a minute...

She just left like that?!

So fast?!

This woman came like the wind and left like lightning...

So professional and efficient that it caught him completely off guard!

Leaving him with a heart full of anxiety...

And a single phrase: "Wait for further notice"!

...He absolutely hated "waiting for further notice"!
