Chapter 299 - 269: Role Play
"It’s not often, what’s up?"
Arriving at the base entrance dust-covered, Tao Yu listened to the cheery voice of the little rich girl coming from his watch and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She seemed unaware of Han Ya’s situation; otherwise, someone dying in Floating City wouldn’t be in such high spirits.
And if Han Ya’s family had the means to know and could communicate through the air, they would have the ability to inform the little rich girl.
At least for now, she doesn’t appear to be aware!
"There’s an urgent matter."
Tao Yu would definitely not explain clearly over the communication device.
"Haha, do I have to open my mouth again?"
The little rich girl teased, and while others might not think much of it, assuming it was probably about asking Miss Sun for something, Tao Yu felt a bit awkward hearing it, which even diluted his sense of urgency a little.
"That’s part of it, but there’s another matter. I need to talk face-to-face."
"Fine, just come here, treat it like giving a report. Right now, someone is discussing work with Shiqing. Knock on the door politely."
"Okay."
Tao Yu let out a slight breath of relief and then briskly walked towards their residence.
Now, the planning inside the base was getting more and more sophisticated, and the residential areas were also divided. Currently, only Inner City Pioneers or Outsiders with a talent ranking of B or above were allowed to live in the core dormitory area of the base; others pitched tents in certain designated areas.
Without exception, the areas for pitching tents were located near the latrines of the barracks.
The relevant areas were already secured by guards, mostly natives, many of whom came from Monster World.
However, Tao Yu’s identity was verified, and he had no trouble getting through. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He arrived directly in front of the officer building where the Suns siblings were staying, and then Tao Yu saw Park Ji-hyun, armed with a real gun and nuclear bullets, standing guard and taking care of the registration, as she had been specifically transferred there by Sun Shiyu.
The Little Dragon Girl was also staying with them, teaching about meridians and acupoints.
"Boss, are you here to report on the mission?" Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Park Ji-hyun greeted Tao Yu with a cheerful smile and then pulled out a registration book.
"You need to register."
"You can’t even read."
Tao Yu teased her and then scribbled something unintelligible.
Park Ji-hyun then pressed the doorbell.
"What is it?"
It was Sun Shiqing’s voice; there must be an intercom connected to the doorbell nearby.
"Intermediate partner Tao Yu has a situation to report; it’s been scheduled in advance with Miss Sun."
Knowing there were others inside, Tao Yu spoke formally.
"Come in."
Soon, Tao Yu heard the sound of slippers tapping, and when the door opened, he saw a blonde blue-eyed girl in home wear, resembling a big teddy bear.
And looking at her face, Tao Yu immediately matched her with the information Panda had given him.
One of the three Inner City Pioneers directly under the Suns, Treya, mainly responsible for communication and acting somewhat like a secretary-general.
To hold such a position, she must indeed be a confidante trusted by the Suns siblings.
Compared to the usual calm of the Suns siblings, the information described Treya as decisive and assertive, a quintessential strong woman.
Her expression was meticulous, a bit too serious perhaps.
Her office lady attire and pencil skirt, combined with her hosiery and naturally austere aura, indeed created a perfect match.
"I’ve seen Treya."
"You’re Tao Yu, right? I’ve heard about you, a major shareholder of Dada Company, an intermediate partner. It’s rare for an Outsider to get this far. Don’t fail to appreciate the kindness of the Suns."
Treya was preachy, with a somewhat lofty air.
If she met someone submissive, they would probably really enjoy this type.
"Etched in my heart,"
Tao Yu behaved very submissively, without revealing the slightest flaw.
"Come in, put on shoe covers, and if your eyes dare to wander, I’ll gouge them out."
It was probably because she noticed the way Tao Yu had looked at the bodycon dress and thigh highs earlier that Treya added an extra warning.
"How dare I, you’re overly concerned."
Treya responded noncommittally to Tao Yu’s words. Although the kid had indeed glanced around when she opened the door, he hadn’t kept staring, and he was indeed quite handsome, so she let it pass.
But as far as she was concerned, she wouldn’t allow anyone to have the audacity to offend the young master and young mistress!
"Hmph, I’ll be watching you."
And so, Tao Yu didn’t even try to get his own slippers but methodically put on the shoe covers and followed the office lady in a disciplined manner.
Unlike her usual attire of cartoon T-shirts and bare long legs at home, this time Sun Shiqing was also in formal wear, dressed in a white Floating City gown similar to Han Ya’s, and she didn’t tease Tao Yu with a hello this time either.
Instead, she sat meticulously on the sofa, and the two cups of tea in front of her were probably hers and Treya’s, with a hint of honey’s sweet fragrance.
Upon seeing Tao Yu come in, she just nodded with a suppressed smile
"My sister is waiting for you upstairs, go on up."
"I have seen Master Sun."
Tao Yu also greeted him respectfully and then prepared to head upstairs with a very cautious and careful demeanor.
"Master, would you like me to go up and keep an eye on things?"
Treya asked for instructions.
"Are you still worried about my sister’s strength? We haven’t finished our previous conversation. How is the construction of the Rainforest route going? What is the traffic situation? And the airport’s planning and scheduling..."
As Sun Shiqing began to inquire about work with a serious face, she gestured to Tao Yu to hurry upstairs, making him involuntarily smile.
A little helper indeed.
Upon reaching the second floor, Tao Yu saw the young wealthy girl in a familiar cartoon T-shirt, sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat, with Little Dragon Girl speaking earnestly by her side.
One with an enchanting allure, another with an air of refined detachment, their distinctly different auras made for a striking scene, momentarily stunning Tao Yu, but luckily he was aware there was a visitor present.
So he greeted her earnestly,
"Miss Sun, Dragon Girl."
Little Dragon Girl showed a rare smile upon seeing Tao Yu, seemingly happy to see a familiar face. With her personality lacking any sense of superiority or inferiority, she was the first to address him,
"Master Tao, you dropped my sister off with me last time, and I haven’t seen you for a long time."
"Sorry, I notified my supervisor. I was tied up with something else at that time. Where is Li Mochou?"
Tao Yu inquired.
"She’s tending to the jade bees. The swarm is still small, and there aren’t many flowers nearby, so the honey is currently only enough for the people in this house. I’ll go make you a cup of honey water."
"No need, no need, I’m here to report on work,"
Tao Yu frantically signaled the young wealthy girl.
The calmer one is in momentous times, the more urgent the matter, the more one shouldn’t panic. Appearing too anxious could spoil everything.
"Dragon Girl, you go down first, I need to talk to him alone,"
Sun Shiyu nodded indifferently, signaling Little Dragon Girl to leave first.
"Oh, okay then."
Little Dragon girl agreed, not minding at all, went downstairs, and thoughtfully closed the door.
Only after the door was closed did the young wealthy girl produce a blocking orb and completed the seal.
Then she gave Tao Yu a flirtatious glance,
"Look at how anxious you are, what is it? If it’s not something important, hehe~"
Sun Shiyu smirked, revealing a little tiger tooth, causing Tao Yu to involuntarily shudder, but he quickly spoke sternly,
"Well, I’ve killed Han Ya..."
What do you think?
