Inferior A After Having a Baby with the Top Boss 37p1

Chapter 37: Ineffective p1

Under the temperature control system of the hovercar, the cabin was warm and comfortable.

As the enchanting floral fragrance lingered, and the atmosphere grew increasingly strange and tense, Zhu Yiqiao, sitting in the driver’s seat, remained indifferent, like a snow-covered sniper rifle hidden in the snow, concealed and ready to fire.

Cold, calm, dangerous, ready to fire a precise and deadly bullet at any moment.

She appeared extremely indifferent, not even frowning, without any outward display of emotion.

Only the pheromone bracelet on her wrist flashed a warning red light twice.

She opened her lips and said, “Xue Xun, is this why you used your ability in public?”

The red-haired, green-eyed woman smiled, her slightly upturned fox eyes full of charm.

“Yiqiao, Yiqiao.”

She said, “Speaking to your Xue Jiejie like this, aren’t you afraid of hurting Xue Jiejie’s feelings?”

She deliberately drew out her words, her voice alluring: “Or are you saying—”

Lan Lubai made a surprised sound, looking at the display screen and suddenly saying, “Eh? There are investigation results from the Bai family.”

Zhu Yiqiao: “Report.”

“The Trial Court’s investigation results are as follows—”

Lan Lubai’s voice became more serious: “After a two-day investigation in Silla by the investigation and enforcement departments, a total of 130 members of the Bai family were screened and investigated. Only Bai He’s mother knew about Bai He’s regular contact with people outside the country. The other 129 people were unaware of Bai He’s actions, and no evidence of their involvement was found.”

“According to Bai He’s mother’s testimony, Bai He had been secretly traveling to Sisi for a long time five years ago. At that time, she had also curiously asked Bai He about the reason for going to Sisi, and Bai He only explained that she was going to discuss business cooperation with her university roommates and have reunions with other classmates who had settled in Sisi.”

“Because Bai He did attend university in Sisi, and the results of the investigation conducted by Bai He’s mother confirmed this, her mother didn’t investigate further.”

“In addition, according to her mother, Bai He didn’t show any unusual behavior in her daily life, nor did she have any special contact with anyone else.”

Lan Lubai encrypted the document and uploaded it to the intranet: “Investigation report complete.”

The pheromone bracelet on Zhu Yiqiao’s wrist had returned to normal. As light and shadows flickered, the hovercar was three minutes away from its destination.

“Inform the Sisi government of the investigation results through the Secretariat, and have the investigation department go to Sisi and present a search warrant to investigate everyone who has had contact with Bai He.”

Lan Lubai said, “Okay.”

Zhu Yiqiao said coldly, “In addition, have the intelligence department investigate the latest movements of the Ministry of International Trade of Moli and the Kail family.”

“Okay.”

Hearing this, Xue Xun, sitting next to them, played with her red wavy hair and said meaningfully, “Moli is adjacent to Sisi’s northern coastline. If Bai He used business dealings with people in Sisi as a cover, she definitely couldn’t avoid Moli.”

She pretended to sigh: “Oh, I just came back from vacation and encountered such a terrible thing. It’s still better to live life offline.”

Lan Lubai: “You were on vacation for more than two months. Everyone in the Trial Court has been working overtime on this matter.”

Xue Xun retorted, “I’m just a businesswoman reeking of money, how can I compare to the Trial Court, which serves the country and its people? Besides, Yiqiao doesn’t look like she’s been working overtime. On the contrary, she looks radiant and happy in love.”

After saying that, she smiled brightly: “Oh~ and she even has a cute little darling now.”

“Xue Xun—”

The person called by her name raised her hand: “I’m just telling the truth. I even prepared gifts for your two little cuties.”

Zhu Yiqiao looked at her: “Get to the point.”

Xue Xun lowered her hand, conjured another flower with her ability, and her casual demeanor finally turned serious.

The flower in her hand was a magnificent red, its petals heart-shaped and several times larger than ordinary petals. The pistil in the center was delicate and fragrant, its scent intoxicating.

“I can’t sense anything.”

She shook her head and said, “Those who awakened their abilities in the apocalypse can sense the presence of others through their abilities. I’ve already tried on the way here. There are no ability users in Taiya who have transmigrated from the apocalypse.”

Lan Lubai put on her cap: “Then that means there might not be any transmigrators in the research institute.”

Eight years ago, there was an anomaly in the sky, and the scientists at the time couldn’t explain the specific cause.

Lan Lubai was still in the military academy at the time and didn’t pay attention to this anomaly at all. It wasn’t until she went to the front lines and met her friend Zhu Yiqiao, and later joined the Ares Special Forces and was about to retire, that—

An accident.

Revealed her friend’s secret to her and Min Man.

—Zhu Yiqiao was a transmigrator.

They were very surprised at the time, but not to the point of dropping their jaws, after all, she wasn’t an alien with six eyes and ten legs.

Later, after learning about the various aspects of the country her friend came from, she, as a citizen of the Independent State of Yi Meng, who had grown up in a free, equal, open, and inclusive environment, couldn’t understand the Ole Empire in another dimension.

She and Min Man both felt that it was a kind of madness.

So, the more they learned, the more they felt sorry for their younger “sister.”

After quickly accepting this information, they also learned from their friend that the King of the Independent State of Yi Meng had long known about all this, and that there was another transmigrator besides her.

—Xue Xun, from another apocalyptic world.

Ming Fei took the elevator downstairs early and waited in the lobby on the first floor for two minutes.

When the silver hovercar stopped by the streetlight, she immediately put on her mask and walked outside.

Even though it was a rare sunny day, the cold wind was still biting.

Ming Fei pulled her scarf tighter and quickened her pace.

The distance of five or six meters quickly closed.

When Ming Fei approached the hovercar and stopped, the back door opened from the inside, and two figures stepped out.

One of them was Lan Lubai, whom she had just met recently.

The other one was a stranger, her red hair, red attire, and red accessories very eye-catching. The ten-centimeter-high red heeled boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the snow-covered road.

Lan Lubai smiled: “Good afternoon, Teacher Xiao Fei, how’s your cold?”

The corners of Ming Fei’s eyes curved upwards: “Thank you for your concern, I’m almost recovered.”

Lan Lubai was about to introduce Xue Xun when the latter spoke first.

“Hello, I’m Xue Xun, the founder of Dejade.”

Ming Fei wasn’t familiar with the name, but the brand Dejade left a deep impression on her.

Besides the fact that Dejade was the largest real estate developer in the Independent State of Yi Meng, another important reason was—before moving out of Hui Fu Garden, it was there that Zhu Yiqiao had called the game console a lie detector, later apologized to her and returned the braided rope bracelet she had dropped, and even… asked if she had someone she liked.

Ming Fei met Xue Xun’s gaze and then politely looked away.

She introduced herself: “Hello, my name is Ming Fei. I’m currently a lecturer at Q University.”

Xue Xun: “Teacher Xiao Fei is young and promising. That introduction is too modest.”

Ming Fei didn’t know how to respond, as the person in front of her was a complete stranger, and she didn’t know the relationship between Xue Xun and Zhu Yiqiao. Also, her social skills were really average, and even with 008’s help in studying for social skills class, she couldn’t even get a passing grade.

As she was considering how to respond, the hovercar suddenly beeped, reminding them to get in.

Ming Fei, like a stiff robot, felt relieved upon hearing the hovercar’s reminder, as if she had been rescued.

She smiled: “Then I’ll get in the car first, goodbye.”

Lan Lubai hummed in response: “Goodbye, Teacher Xiao Fei.”

Xue Xun waved as if teasing a kitten: “See you next time, Teacher Xiao Fei~”

Ming Fei softly repeated her goodbyes, then bypassed the two and got into the hovercar.

The car was usually clean and odorless, but today there was a rich floral fragrance. Ming Fei didn’t ask any questions, just took off her mask and greeted Zhu Yiqiao with a light smile.

“Jiejie.”

“Mm.”

The hovercar sped away. As they passed through the Roda 103 public area, Ming Fei received a video call invitation from her daughter, Ming Zaozao.

She glanced sideways at Zhu Yiqiao and, after confirming that she wasn’t working, softly asked,

“Jiejie, are you free now? Zaozao is calling me.”

“Project it onto the display screen.”

“Okay.”

The display screen switched from the latest news of ten countries to Ming Zaozao’s round face.

She was very close to the camera. Seeing Ming Fei, her eyes lit up, calling out to Ming Fei first, then to Zhu Yiqiao beside her.

“Good morning, Mommy~”

“Good morning, Pretty Auntie~”

They both responded. Ming Zaozao immediately began inquiring about Ming Fei’s condition. She was really worried about Ming Fei, asking repeatedly just to make sure Ming Fei wasn’t feeling unwell.

Ming Fei soothed her: “I’m almost fully recovered. I’ll be back to pick you up tomorrow evening.”

“Really?”

“Mm.” Ming Fei’s eyes crinkled with a smile. “Has Zaozao been listening to Auntie Min Man these past two days?”

Ming Zaozao stood up, holding her plush toy, and showed Ming Fei all the gifts she had received, like a proud little peacock.

“Baby has been very obedient!”

“Aunties, Grandmas, they all gave Baby so many presents!”

“They want Baby to visit them often and make delicious food for Baby every day.”

Ming Fei chatted with Ming Zaozao in a gentle voice. Halfway through the journey, Ming Zaozao, who had to go have breakfast, reluctantly hung up the video call.

The car suddenly became very quiet. Ming Fei was about to read again, but as she opened her e-book library, she heard Zhu Yiqiao’s voice.

“What did you eat for lunch?”

Ming Fei, who had given up on eating at the restaurant, looked at Zhu Yiqiao, wanting to speak but hesitating, like a puppy caught with its paw in the cookie jar.

“Did you go into the kitchen?”

Ming Fei’s eyelashes fluttered as she nodded: “Mm.”

She explained, “I originally planned to eat out before going back, but there weren’t any dishes suitable for patients in the restaurants, and the only suitable thing in the hotel was plain porridge, but I wanted vegetable porridge, so…”

Ming Fei felt a strange sense of nervousness, after all, Zhu Yiqiao had just added a new rule to the contract yesterday, and she, as Party B, had violated it the very next day.

Zhu Yiqiao’s voice was emotionless.

“This is the only time, don’t let it happen again.”

“Mm!” Ming Fei’s happiness was written all over her face. “Thank you, Jiejie.”

Zhu Yiqiao didn’t say anything in response.

She looked at the news on the display screen. Seeing the news about a multi-person physical altercation that had unexpectedly occurred at an event in Silla, she couldn’t help but think of the person quietly reading next to her.

Ming Fei was probably the most polite, most obedient, and gentlest person she had ever met.

She always had the words “thank you” on her lips, politely saying “thank you” to everyone except Ming Zaozao, even to the robots at home.

When she accidentally bumped into the robot dog, she would even squat down and pat the robot dog’s head, then apologize to it, as if she really felt sorry.

Compared to those alphas who would fight on the simulated battlefield or use pheromones to provoke at the slightest disagreement, Ming Fei seemed to have a better temper than a rabbit.

But when everyone thought she was so good-tempered that they could push her around at will, she would show another side, calm, decisive, and sharp.

A rabbit would bite when angry, and Ming Fei would calmly hold a gun and make a precise shot.
