"That's it for today."

Noticing that Hui Xia's face was tired, Xia Muxiong was also very interested, and before leaving, he also handed Hui Xia a business card and said, "If there is anything, please feel free to contact me." ”

Hui Xia nodded slightly, took it, and put it in his pocket.

In any case, the other party is also a high-ranking official of the defense force, and maybe there is something that needs to trouble him.

For example, lack of money to spend...

Well...

Forget it.

Don't look for this guy as much as possible.

The scheming is too deep, and the desire for profit is consumed.

I don't know when I'm going to get into a hole.

Watching Hui Xia leisurely walk towards the Leaf Cafe.

The kindness and smile on Xia Muxiong's face disappeared, and instead covered his face with a cold chill, and a pair of eyes were filled with black gas, as if they were about to occupy the entire eye.

…

Back in the store.

Xia Mu has been looking at Hui Xia.

The expression was a little hesitant and tangled.

Although Hui Xia noticed it, she didn't say anything.

Until the end of the day's work and the doors are about to close.

Hui Xia shouted to Xia Mu, who was about to leave.

"You can get off work, stay safe."

Hui Xia saw that the other two clerks also turned around curiously and smiled in motion.

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Store!"

…

"I see."

Xia Mu Qingxue's face was firm, and then assured Hui Xia.

"Well, by the way, Xia Mu, if possible, go to UPIC."

Hui Xia seemed to remember something and added.

"Huh? Oh, okay. ”

Qing Xue's somewhat dazed gaze touched Hui Xia's expression, and after realizing that he wasn't joking, he should come down.

Although I was reluctant, I didn't have the intention of resisting, which was strange.

Qingxue thought a little puzzled.

Then I began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

I belong to the intelligence department of the Defense Forces, and if I want to join the UPIC, it is really difficult to be honest.

However, there has been a significant shortage of UPIC personnel recently, and it is not an opportunity.

If the defense force wants to go to UPIC, in addition to applying for transfer to the direct superiors and department heads, it is also necessary to obtain the signature and approval of the top person in charge, that is, Xia Muxiong.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing happens very often, and at the beginning, the selection conditions for the Defence Force are also the most basic elements, having military experience, or working in the government for more than a year, preferably not joining the political party of the host country.

The first two points are to ensure that they can quickly integrate into the ranks of the defense forces, which is different from the self-defense forces, and the requirements are more specific.

The third party protects against the influence of the Government of the country and guarantees the independence of the defence forces, and cannot become, as is the case with the United Nations, a place where the two powers wrestle and flex their muscles at certain times.

For Qing Xue, the last point is the most difficult, after all, he is still nominally an intelligence officer in charge of monitoring Mr. Hui Xia.

Moreover, with Xia Muxiong's current character, Qingxue doesn't like to deal with him very much, even if the other party is her father.

Naturally, it is even more difficult to find the other party to sign and agree, but on the contrary, as long as Xia Muxiong agrees, the superior and the like will definitely agree.

Therefore, if you want to enter the selection of UPIC, the fastest process, you only need to get one person.

Hui Xia stared at Qingxue's somewhat heavy steps, as if there was some psychological pressure.

It wasn't until the other party disappeared around the corner of the street that he walked back to the café.

When Xia Mu enters UPIC, the source of information will be wider, and if you can find out which guy is Lucifer and Mephistopheles, you can solve these two scourges as soon as possible.

Well, and Noi, who has allowed him to grow freely for so long, it's time to harvest.

This guy is not very smart, and he is easily swayed by emotions, but after becoming a card, I think this shortcoming no longer exists.

Hui Xia squinted slightly, as if he was already expecting a second "subordinate." ”

...

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Mayuki got out of the taxi and looked out at the neighborhood on the side of a hill not far away.

The eyes are firmly fixed on the most conspicuous villa in the community.

It was her home, or rather, her former home.

"Welcome back, Miss Xia Mu."

The guard at the gate of the community looked vigilant, and noticed that after Qingxue approached, the vaguely familiar face, then relaxed his guard and said respectfully.

"Hmm."

Qingxue was a little uncomfortable, this was a title that she hadn't heard for a long time.

She has moved out of the house since her mother died unexpectedly five years ago.

It's a shame that the guards here can still recognize themselves.

At the age of fifteen and twenty, it stands to reason that the change should not be small.

Walking all the way unimpeded, every grass and tree on the side of the road feels very familiar, even if it is a slightly unfamiliar path, after slowly walking through, the memories buried in the depths of memory wake up from it, reminding Qingxue of everything that has been here.

Until he walked to the door of Xia Mu's house.

It was pitch black in the cottage, and apparently there was no one at home.

Qingxue knew that Xia Muxiong would not come back at this time.

Since more than ten years ago, Xia Muxiong's temperament has changed drastically, becoming suspicious and irritable, and becoming more and more ruthless, and the servants in the family have quickly resigned one after another, even the old servants who have worked here for 20 years are no exception.

recalled that Aunt Yuanxing, who was worried and had already regarded Qingxue as her child, warned herself with concern:

"Miss Qingxue, don't stay in this house for too long, if you can, move out with your wife as much as possible, Mr. Xia Mu... Something is wrong. ”

Perhaps, Aunt Yuanxing found out something at the beginning.

Looking at the mottled marks on the iron door, for a while, Qingxue felt very unfamiliar.

After a moment's hesitation, she took a somewhat struggling step and pulled out the key from her pocket that she hadn't used for a long time.

After unlocking, give it a gentle push.

The gate opened backwards, clinging to the wall, making some unpleasant noises along the way.

Qingxue didn't blink, watching the door go from closing at first to opening widely, until it was completely open, as if beckoning to her embrace.

She looked at the empty courtyard.

The flowers that my mother once loved were long gone, and the whole yard was bare, paved with neat and boring-looking stone slabs, which pressed the soil of life firmly underneath, so that the world above the ground was devoid of plants.

Xia Mu Qingxue was a little silent, and did not move in the middle of the sound.

She slowly closed her eyes, as if more than ten years of laughter were right in front of her, in her ears, and beside her.

…

Thirteen years ago.

Seven-year-old Qingxue has shown intelligence far beyond her peers since she was a child.

Whether it's babbling, toddler, or running happily, it's better than other children.

This also made this child the treasure of Xia Mu's family, and the envious eyes of the neighbors around him made Xia Muxiong, who didn't like his daughter at first, also begin to become proud.

At this time, Xia Mu's family was full of warmth and hope.

"Xiaoxue, don't mess with Dad's things!"

As Mrs. Xia Mu's first child, Mrs. Xia Mu, who has no experience in bringing babies, is always at a loss in the face of the smart and naughty Qingxue.

"Mom, I'm just a little curious..."

Seven-year-old Qingxue stood barefoot on her father's desk, holding a few seemingly unimportant documents that had been placed on the table at first.

This is also the reason why Qingxue has no fear.

It's definitely not that important, that's why it was put on the table by my father.

The things in the drawer are never touched.

is curious about everything, and because she is too ordinary, Qingxue often can't play with her peers, so she can only release her vitality at home.

So, every day Mrs. Xia Mu spent her time in a "battle of wits and courage" with Qingxue.

And the "miserable" of tossing his mother, often complaining that he was angry and several years old Qingxue, still happy every day, as if this force will always exist.

"Xiaoxue, come here."

Mrs. Xia Mu approached carefully, but she didn't dare to get too close, lest Qingxue jump directly off the table.

I can only call dryly, even if I know that it has no effect.

As everyone knows, her worries are very unnecessary.

"Slightly..."

Qingxue ran to the other end of the table with a grin.

As the head of the family, Xia Muxiong's desks are not only large, but also numerous, and of course, each one has its role, although they are now being trampled by "thugs".

"You're being so naughty again, I'll tell your dad!"

Mrs. Xia Mu's cheeks were bulging with anger, she was so good with a baby...

"Cut... It's just that one trick every time. ”

Qingxue's little face collapsed instantly, and she muttered unhappily, then carefully stepped on the chair, and finally sat down again, obediently putting on her shoes.

"Hmph, who made Xiaoxue not cute at all."

At this time, Mrs. Xia Mu was like a child who had won a victory in the playing family, looking up proudly, like a white swan.

"Mom is terrible too..."

Qingxue whispered carefully, but it was still heard by Mrs. Xia Mu.

"Huh? Xiaoxue, you actually say bad things about your mother! ”

"I must sue this time!"

Mrs. Xia Mu's eyes widened, she looked incredulous, she covered her chest tremblingly, and pointed to Qingxue's little head with the other hand, her expression and movements were coordinated, it really seemed like that.

“…”

"Mom, why are you like a child, playing with children's temper at every turn?"

"You disappointed me as a daughter so much, how can I rest assured that you will be independent in the future? Will you be able to take care of yourself in the future? ”

Qingxue rolled her eyes angrily, sat on the chair and shook her calves, tilted her head, stretched out her left hand, and counted her mother with her right hand and fingers.

“… It seems to be whether my lines are good or not. ”

Mrs. Xia Mu also rolled her eyes in the same way as her daughter.

There is such a demonic daughter, and she still says that she is unlucky, or is it because she is too lucky?

"Madam, miss, the master is coming back."

The young Aunt Yuanxing cautioned from outside the door.

Qingxue subconsciously glanced at the time, hurriedly jumped off the chair, and cleaned up the study that was already a little messy.

"Tsk."

"Hey, Xiaoxue is still here, and it's a mess here."

"Oops, I forgot you're bruised..."

Mrs. Xia Mu looked at Qingxue who was frightened.

The voice of schadenfreude kept coming out, making Qingxue pout angrily, and kept muttering in her heart:

Mommy is so nasty!!
