Xu Mu examined the remaining people and found no issues, only these two individuals were problematic.
Afterwards, Xu Mu walked over to Xu Ningbing and said in a low voice, "It's done."
Xu Ningbing nodded imperceptibly, then signaled for everyone to disperse and return to their work.
After the crowd dispersed, Ye Tong from a distance walked over with a smile.
"Sister, husband."
Xu Mu immediately put his arm around Ye Tong's shoulder. "No wonder you sometimes don't answer calls; you were wearing protective gear."
Ye Tong nodded slightly. "Phones have to be handed in before entering the lab."
"Today's matter regarding Zhong Qianqian is in your hands now."
Xu Mu smiled at Ye Tong. "Have you thought about what to say?"
"Pretty much figured it out."
Ye Tong looked up at Xu Mu.
"That's good. Go ahead with your work."
Xu Mu waved at Ye Tong.
Watching Ye Tong's retreating figure, Xu Ningbing said with an indifferent expression, "If you dare wrong her, I will definitely not let you off."
"Don't worry, she is my wife after all."
Xu Mu glanced at Xu Ningbing. "I won't wrong you either."
[Favorability +8]
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Xu Ningbing's eyes showed a hint of panic as she directly elbowed Xu Mu.
"Whoa! Why did you elbow me?"
This time, Xu Mu didn't even react in time.
Clearly, favorability points popped up above her head, yet she still attacked him.
This woman doesn't play by the usual rules.
"I felt like elbowing you."
Xu Ningbing said flatly, then asked, "Did you notice anything?"
"I know a little about psychology. I noticed the supervisor of the Quality Inspection Department spoke to you very impatiently."
Xu Mu needed to come up with a plausible reason.
If he directly named Cui Xia as a mole too, that would be way too far-fetched.
"Quality Inspection..."
Xu Ningbing lowered her head in thought. "Now that you mention it, we focused our investigation on the R&D department this time because those people have the easiest access to confidential information. We weren't as thorough with the other departments."
"Couldn't the Quality Inspection supervisor get access?"
Xu Mu asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, they could."
Xu Ningbing nodded emphatically. "I'll send someone to investigate right away."
At noon, Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing had lunch at the pharmaceutical company. Afterwards, Xu Mu drove Xu Ningbing back to the headquarters.
Originally, Xu Mu wanted to slip away, but Xu Ningbing caught him, demanding he accompany her for training.
Xu Mu had no choice but to follow Xu Ningbing to the deep mountains outside Jiang City.
Xu Ningbing took a guitar case from the trunk of her car, and together with Xu Mu, they left the highway.
Deep in the mountains, she opened the guitar case and took out two swords from inside.
She tossed one of them to Xu Mu.
Catching it, Xu Mu drew the sword. "Let's start with sword techniques, no Qi."
Xu Ningbing nodded, drawing her own sword.
She took a deep breath and suddenly lunged at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu sidestepped lightly, dodging Xu Ningbing's long sword, while his own blade came to rest in front of her neck.
"Actually, all attacks are the same. When attacking, you must always leave yourself a way out to prevent a counterattack from the enemy."
Xu Mu tapped Xu Ningbing's buttocks with the flat of his sword. "Again!"
"You..."
Xu Ningbing's expression turned slightly awkward.
[Favorability +6]
They progressed from basic sword techniques to using a small amount of Qi.
Xu Mu discovered that Xu Ningbing learned extremely fast, and during this time, something unexpected happened.
While sparring with Xu Mu, Xu Ningbing broke through and entered the Gang Qi realm.
It's worth noting that Xu Mu hadn't deliberately tried to enhance Xu Ningbing.
Truly a woman who had consumed divine medicine and possessed a Level 10 Destiny.
...
Xu Mu was currently lying with his head on Xu Ningbing's lap, as she sat leaning against a large tree. The terrifying thunderous punishment before her directly pressed against Xu Mu's face, blinding his eyes.
He didn't know why, but he felt the whole world had grown quiet.
Xu Ningbing also closed her eyes for a short rest.
After witnessing Xu Mu's immense power, the guilt in her heart towards him grew larger and larger.
From a very early time, it wasn't that Xu Mu couldn't defeat her; he had been going easy on her.
Especially that time she genuinely knocked him down, but Xu Mu only protested verbally and never thought of fighting back.
And she had always considered Xu Mu a good-for-nothing.
[Favorability +15]
Xu Ningbing took a deep breath, determined to treat Xu Mu well from now on and make up for all the years of neglect.
"Who's there?"
Xu Ningbing suddenly shouted coldly, pushing Xu Mu away and sending him rolling on the ground.
Clenching his fists, Xu Mu got up from the ground. He had noticed these two people earlier.
The reason he hadn't acted was that he thought they wouldn't come over and interrupt his use of the Estée Lauder facial cleanser.
But these two just happened to come this way, practically seeking death.
Xu Ningbing immediately stood up, looking towards the two black-robed figures appearing in the distance.
However, these two weren't wearing hoods; they weren't hiding their identities.
One had a small mustache and a round face.
The other had a long face with a scar on his left cheek.
"Whoa! Brother Qian, how is our luck so good?"
The round-faced man's eyes went straight when he saw Xu Ningbing.
The other scar-faced man also stared at Xu Ningbing, inwardly full of praise.
This woman was simply stunning.
Everyone knows black is slimming, but even in this black bodysuit, those terrifying thunderbolts remained enormous.
With a figure like that, even an average face would make her a beauty.
But this coldly beautiful face was also breathtakingly beautiful.
"Hehe!"
The scar-faced man looked at Xu Ningbing with a smirk. "Beauty, I'm a gambler. My luck's been bad lately, always losing at cards. But since I saw you, I've won several rounds."
"Trash! Get out of my sight now, and I'll let you go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xu Ningbing said with a gloomy expression.
Xu Mu observed the two men before him through his Divine Eye.
Name: Qian Lang
Identity: Disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect
Favorability: -5
Destiny Level: 1 (Max Level 10)
Xu Mu frowned. Why did they encounter people from the Yin-Yang Sect here?
He checked the other chubby man's information.
Name: Li Zhuang
Identity: CEO of a Pyramid Scheme Company
Favorability: -2
Destiny Level: 1 (Max Level 10)
Seeing this, Xu Mu guessed these two showing up here certainly meant no good.
"Ooh, the beauty talks tough. I like tough women; it makes things more exciting."
Qian Lang revealed a smile and started walking towards Xu Ningbing as he spoke.
Xu Ningbing was just about to step forward to meet him.
Xu Mu reminded her from behind, "Use your sword. The opponent isn't simple."
This was a good chance to test Xu Ningbing.
She wasn't like Ye Tong. Making Ye Tong a martial artist was for self-defense.
But Xu Ningbing could be cultivated into a right-hand woman in the future.
"Alright."
Xu Ningbing picked up the long sword beside her and pointed it at Qian Lang. "Take another step forward, and I'll strike!"
"I'm so scared!"
When Qian Lang got within five meters of Xu Ningbing, he suddenly accelerated, charging towards her.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
