I'm Just a Homebody Girl

"Understood, Dragon King."

Meng Wanyue acknowledged. As soon as she finished speaking, the phone call ended.

"Who is the Dragon King? So, Meng Wanyue, you have disloyalty towards brother after all!"

Dai Xingluo pointed at Meng Wanyue and coldly snapped, "If you dare betray brother, I'll be the first to kill you!"

Xu Mu grabbed Dai Xingluo's hand. "Xingluo, you've misunderstood. The Dragon King is the enemy, and Wanyue is on our side."

"That's more like it."

Dai Xingluo cast a dismissive glance at Meng Wanyue. "If you behave well, I might reluctantly agree to let you be a minor concubine."

"Who do you think you are? I need your permission?"

Meng Wanyue looked coldly at Dai Xingluo.

"Your thunder is too weak, unworthy of speaking to me."

Dai Xingluo's face was full of disdain.

"You..."

Meng Wanyue was so angry she couldn't speak.

Xu Mu, meanwhile, glanced at Dai Xingluo. This woman had been acting rather arrogantly lately.

It seemed she needed someone with even more powerful thunder punishment to put her in her place.

However, there really weren't many people who could suppress Dai Xingluo.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Xu Mu looked at the two of them, then said, "Xingluo, I came today just to deliver medicine to Yiyi. If there's nothing else, we should get going."

"Fine."

Dai Xingluo nodded lightly.

From the phone call earlier, she could tell that Xu Mu had other matters to attend to.

...

Xu Mu and Meng Wanyue got back in the car and returned to Jiang City.

During the journey, Meng Wanyue suddenly looked at Xu Mu. "Boss Xu, it seems Ye Chen is going to discuss many things this time. Should I wear a wire?"

"No need. You just need to tell me the location."

Xu Mu said with a smile. "Besides, whatever he tells you, you can just report back to me afterward."

Although he said that, he definitely still planned to go there himself.

His current perception could even pick up sounds.

He couldn't let this skill go to waste. Moreover, Ye Chen was no ordinary person; he certainly wouldn't tell Meng Wanyue everything.

After returning to Jiang City,

Meng Wanyue called Xiao Ran, who sent over the location.

"Boss Xu, it's at the Fireworks Restaurant, not far from the airport."

Meng Wanyue said, looking at the map sent to her.

"Got it."

Xu Mu nodded. "Wanyue, take your own car. Don't worry about me."

"Okay."

Meng Wanyue agreed.

They returned to the villa area where Xu Mu lived. Meng Wanyue got into her Wuling Hongguang and headed for the destination.

Xu Mu didn't take his own car this time but hailed a taxi instead.

He arrived smoothly outside the Fireworks Restaurant and expanded his perception to observe.

He found Ye Chen in a private room on the second floor.

Besides him and Xiao Ran, there was another woman.

This woman wore black-rimmed glasses and was about the same age as Xu Mu, in her twenties.

She had shoulder-length black hair, a sweet-looking face, and wore a dress with cartoon patterns, giving off a bit of an otaku vibe.

She was standing nervously in front of Ye Chen, holding a laptop bag.

Xu Mu didn't enter the restaurant. Instead, he went to a nearby café.

He could hear just as well from here and was less likely to be noticed.

After ordering a coffee, Xu Mu sat in the farthest corner. He expanded his perception to monitor Ye Chen's private room.

A few minutes later, he saw Meng Wanyue push the door open and enter.

...

"Dragon King, Sister Ran."

After entering the private room, Meng Wanyue closed the door behind her.

Ye Chen was sitting at the table eating. He didn't look at Meng Wanyue but glanced at the woman beside him.

This woman immediately sat down at the dining table, opened her laptop.

The back of her laptop was covered in anime character stickers.

Her hands began typing rapidly on the keyboard, then she turned the screen towards Ye Chen.

"Dragon King, within our current range, there is no signal transmission, proving she is not on a call and is not carrying any surveillance equipment."

The woman reported calmly.

Hearing this, Meng Wanyue's heart sank. Could Ye Chen already suspect her?

Thank goodness she hadn't taken the initiative to bring a wire.

If Ye Chen had discovered it, she would have been exposed, and who knows what would have awaited her.

On the other side, Xu Mu also shook his head in relief. Good thing he hadn't agreed to let Meng Wanyue wear a wire.

"Zhong Qianqian, introduce yourself."

After saying this, Ye Chen continued eating with his head down.

Zhong Qianqian looked at Meng Wanyue, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses. "Hello, I'm Zhong Qianqian. I've been serving as the Dragon King's cybersecurity consultant. Simply put, I'm a hacker."

"A hacker?"

Meng Wanyue furrowed her delicate brows. Come to think of it, she had heard long ago that the Dragon King had a powerful hacker.

Much of the intelligence came from this person. She never expected it to be a young woman.

"Correct. Besides being a hacker, I've also studied pharmaceutical technology."

Zhong Qianqian smiled. "My hobbies are novels, anime, games, sleeping. My favorite foods are..."

"Alright, I didn't ask for that much detail."

Ye Chen interrupted Zhong Qianqian. "Meng Wanyue, your next task is to insert her into the Xu family's pharmaceutical company."

"But Dragon King, I'm from the headquarters. The Xu family's pharmaceutical company is a subsidiary with its own independent HR department."

Meng Wanyue said with her head lowered.

"I don't care what method you use."

Ye Chen stared at Meng Wanyue. "Dismissed."

"Yes!"

Meng Wanyue nodded lightly and turned to leave.

On the other side, Xu Mu, sipping his coffee, had already guessed that Ye Chen would have Meng Wanyue leave first.

He definitely still had important matters to discuss.

"Zhong Qianqian, your mission is to steal confidential information from the Xu family's pharmaceutical company. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Ye Chen looked at Zhong Qianqian and asked.

"Stealing secrets isn't difficult, but the prerequisite is that I need access to those things."

Zhong Qianqian said to Ye Chen. "Dragon King, as a new hire, I likely won't have access to those secrets in a short time."

Hearing this, Ye Chen also fell into thought.

Xiao Ran, who was beside him, suddenly smiled and said, "Dragon King, I have an idea."

"Speak!"

Ye Chen said indifferently.

"Have her start with Xu Mu. Qianqian's personality is nothing like Meng Wanyue's. I feel she should be able to win over Xu Mu."

Xiao Ran looked at Zhong Qianqian with a smile. "Xu Shou dotes on Xu Mu excessively. As long as we get through via Xu Mu, we'll succeed."

"Sister Ran, don't talk nonsense. I'm very socially anxious."

Zhong Qianqian quickly waved her hands. "I'm a homebody. If the Dragon King hadn't called me here this time, I wouldn't have left the house in over a year."

Xiao Ran laughed. "Is that so? Then how did you manage to extract so much intelligence from men before?"

"That's because... my EQ and IQ are both high. Those men were like fools, suppressed by my intellect."

Zhong Qianqian shook her head. "But I'm really not suited for this kind of work."

"Xu Mu is also a fool."

Xiao Ran said.

"What the hell?"

Xu Mu on the other side cursed inwardly.

This Xiao Ran, how could she talk about her savior like that?

However, he remembered she had once said he was deep and unfathomable, and now she calls him stupid.

Could it be... she's doing it on purpose?

Is she trying to deliver a harem member to him?
