Chapter 578 Something's really not right!

During Ning Weiquan's private conversation with Jiang Ci.

On the battlefield of swimming crabs.

Ning Anrou and her teammates dealt with another wave of Slug Crab Insects.

Before the other swimming crabs and insectoids arrived, they quickly collected the swimming crabs and insectoids on the ground into their spatial storage.

Those who are injured can take the opportunity to drink healing potions and treat their wounds, or try to absorb crystal cores to restore their depleted supernatural abilities and physical strength.

"Captain, did the commander praise you properly when he saw your ability level up?" Chen Jiajia asked as she put the shuttle crab insectoids into her spatial storage.

If the leader is happy because the captain's superpower has been upgraded, then they won't be criticized for consuming all the materials they've collected during this period.
Or she doesn't mind being scolded so badly.

"!" Ning Anrou, who was also picking up the swimming crab insects, was stunned when she heard this.

Only then did she realize what had been strange all evening.

I didn't tell the old man about my upgraded superpowers, so why wasn't he surprised when he saw me?

"Did any of you tell anyone about my upgraded superpower?" Ning Anrou asked, pursing her lips.

Or perhaps someone had already revealed that their superpower had reached S-rank, and the old man found out.

However, if the old man knew that his superpower had been upgraded to S-level, he would definitely contact him immediately to confirm whether it was true.
But he hasn't contacted me about this!
"No."

"I do not have either."

One silence followed another, and Ning Anrou's expression gradually hardened.

Chen Jiajia noticed that Ning Anrou's expression was off. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "We thought you would talk to the commander yourself."

Besides, during this period they have been hunting and collecting supplies to fill the warehouse from early morning to late at night, and no one really has time to chat with the other teams.

Ning Anrou believed they wouldn't lie to her about this, so the old man didn't know in advance that her superpower had been upgraded to S-level.

Even when facing off against other mercenary groups, the old man would immediately check if he was injured.

But tonight, after having dinner and a cup of hot tea together, he didn't even notice that his superpower had upgraded.

Something is wrong!
This is so wrong!

Suddenly, Ning Anrou's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them.

The old man is hiding something from me!

And this is no small matter!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried so hard to act like nothing was wrong, yet he didn't even notice that his superpower had been upgraded to S-rank!
Something that could make the old man pretend nothing was wrong but still reveal such a flaw must be no small matter!
It seems I can't just keep asking the old man what happened.

I need to have someone investigate this myself!

……

Jiang Ci appeared in the command room, shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.

Zhuo Juntao and the others, who were busy with their heads down, suddenly noticed that the air around them had turned cold, and it was a familiar cold. When they looked up, they saw their boss.

Zhuo Juntao and others: "..."

who!
Who made our boss so angry!

So, is it okay to call my sister-in-law over now to appease the boss? They don't want to work while the boss is in a bad mood!

Zhuo Juntao and the others secretly glanced at the lounge next door.

Not long ago, Bai Mianmian went in. I wonder if she's asleep now?

"Where are you all looking?" Jiang Ci's deep, cold voice rang out in the quiet command room.

"!" Zhuo Juntao and the others' expressions changed, and they all turned around at the same time. Whether they were genuinely busy or just pretending, everyone lowered their heads and started working furiously.

As for Jiang Ci's question, they were too busy to hear what he said or answer him.

Jiang Ci was very familiar with Zhuo Juntao and the others, and he could tell what they were thinking at a glance. Only then did he realize that his words had been tinged with negative emotions.

Lowering his eyes to organize his thoughts and suppress the chaotic ideas in his mind, Jiang Ci's low mood did not lessen much.

But when he spoke again, his voice was no longer cold. "Jun Tao, stop what you're doing. There's something I need you to investigate right now."

When Zhuo Juntao was suddenly called out, his heart skipped a beat. But when he heard that he was to investigate the incident, his heart immediately calmed down.

It turns out he wasn't being scolded.

Relieved, Zhuo Juntao heard Jiang Ci say in a deep voice, "Go and follow up on the investigation of the black hole again, and also..."

After carefully listening to Jiang Ci's instructions, Zhuo Juntao said with a serious expression, "Yes, boss, I'll go right now."

Those who weren't called out by Jiang Ci saw Zhuo Juntao walking briskly out and felt both envious of his ability to leave and worried that they themselves would be called out by Jiang Ci.

Because no one can guarantee that the next person named will just be checking something, the possibility of being scolded is quite high.

Jiang Ci was unaware of what these people were thinking. After Zhuo Juntao left, he turned around and took over the command work.

However, the reappearance of the black hole made it difficult for him to calm down, so much so that the low pressure and cold air around him lasted for a long time.

The next day, morning.

Not long after she came out of the lounge, Bai Mianmian noticed that the people in the command room were frequently looking at her.

But when she looked over, those people quickly looked away, pretending they hadn't seen her.

Bai Mianmian: "??"

What are they doing?
She's spent the night in this lounge more than once or twice, so why are they all staring at her today?
Could it be that I didn't put my clothes on properly?
Bai Mianmian looked herself up and down, and found nothing wrong.

She looked up again at the people who were secretly watching her, only to find that they had once again avoided her gaze.

Bai Mianmian's eyes darkened slightly, and she scanned the people who were spying on her with a questioning gaze.

"Mianmian, shall we go have breakfast?" Jiang Ci asked Bai Mianmian with his usual gentle expression as he finished his work.

Upon hearing Jiang Ci's words, and under Bai Mianmian's sweeping gaze, the few people who had been secretly watching her immediately looked away.

Upon hearing Jiang Ci's words, Bai Mianmian immediately stopped paying attention to those who were secretly glancing at her.

A smile played on her lips as she looked at Jiang Ci and said, "Sure, do you want to come along?"

Jiang Ci nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

The two left together, while the people in the command room looked at each other.

They endured almost the entire night of low air pressure and cold air.

They had hoped that Bai Mianmian would come out and rescue them, but unexpectedly, when dawn broke, the low pressure and coldness around Jiang Ci suddenly disappeared!
And their own boss has returned to being the boss they always were.

They were actually interested in talking to Bai Mianmian about Jiang Ci's bad mood.

But Jiang Ci himself was right there, so they didn't dare say anything.

Seeing that Jiang Ci treated Bai Mianmian the same as usual, they didn't even dare to mention it in the group chat.

It's obvious that their eldest brother doesn't want his sister-in-law to know what happened last night, so they should all keep quiet.

At this moment, they couldn't help but feel grateful that under Jiang Ci's low-pressure, cold aura, they had all been working diligently last night and hadn't had time to complain in the group chat.

Otherwise, they'll all be in trouble after the Blue Crab Insect invasion ends!
As Bai Mianmian walked towards the cafeteria with Jiang Ci, she suddenly looked at the person next to her with a suspicious gaze.
