SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

A light drizzle enveloped Los Angeles.

In the ancient city on the edge of the central urban area, the damp stone slabs gleamed coldly.

"Chief Feng Xi, all three S-level Calamities have been killed, and the lower-level Calamities who escaped were also killed on the spot by members of the Calamity Suppression Division outside the city."

The woman in the Zhen'e Ting uniform bowed her head and reported, her epaulets soaked by the rain.

Feng Xi slowly raised her eyes, gazing thoughtfully at the continuous drizzle in the night, before turning to the person who had arrived:

"Isn't there another SS-rank individual in the central intelligence network?"

The woman paused slightly, then replied respectfully, "Chief, could it be that the intelligence... is wrong?"

Feng Xi's beautiful face was clouded with even more suspicion: "Summon the Chief of the Luocheng Town E'si Division to see me."

"Yes!" the woman replied and quickly left.

Feng Xi walked slowly through the ancient city, which reeked of blood, stepping on the blood-stained stone slabs.

A light drizzle fell on her hair, and she murmured softly, "The Central Government, ah..."

Before he finished speaking, the long black whip at his waist was suddenly drawn.

With a loud "boom," the enclosed building in front of them collapsed instantly.

Before the B-level calamity hiding inside could react, it completely lost its life.

……

Cangcheng, Cangshan District.

Hundreds of figures in daytime uniforms were moving through the mountains and forests, the fine branches and leaves brushing against the hems of their clothes.

Qin Jiang stood atop the mountain, his brow furrowed: "Kong Nan, are you sure the location is correct?"

Kong Nan nodded firmly: "Chief, the location is absolutely accurate."

"We mobilized half of our high-ranking officers during the day just to kill a few A-level Calamities?" Qin Jiang's voice carried a hint of melancholy.

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang urgently.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Qin Jiang immediately answered, his tone becoming more respectful: "Elder Ge."

An aged voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qin Jiang, have Bai Zhou withdraw his troops."

"The report should read: One SS-level Calamity was killed during the day, along with five S-level Calamities and thousands of Calamities below A-level."

"Elder Ge, but this..."

Qin Jiang was about to ask further when Elder Ge's deep voice interrupted him: "Don't you understand?"

Qin Jiang took a deep breath and slowly said, "Qin Jiang understands."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jiang looked at Kong Nan: "Dismiss the team and return to Shengjing City immediately."

Kong Nan was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Chief, are we not going to the next location?"

"No need, it's all baseless information anyway."

Qin Jiang's voice was somber. He then sighed and turned to walk down the mountain.

"Based on fabricated charges?"

Kong Nan looked increasingly confused, but still immediately gave the Bai Zhou members the order to return to their posts.

……

At 0:30 a.m., all was quiet.

A black Maybach sped through the night, its engine roaring clearly through the empty streets, before finally entering the Sixth Special District of Zhenbei City.

"We're in the Sixth Special Zone, wake up." Gu Cang lit a cigarette, the embers flickering in the darkness.

"I wasn't asleep." Lin Mu opened his eyes, his tone calm.

"So you kept your eyes closed and didn't say a word the whole time?" Gu Cang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Close your eyes and rest," Lin Mu replied calmly.

Gu Cang took a deep drag of his cigarette, chuckling softly through the swirling smoke, "You've become normal now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu closed his eyes again and ignored him.

Thirty minutes later, the Maybach came to a steady stop in front of a large building.

"We'll stay here tonight," Gu Cang said, turning off the engine.

Lin Mu looked up through the car window, and the four large characters at the top of the building came into view. He murmured softly, "Wu Nian Building?"

"Yes, the first 13 floors are a hotel, and the floors above the 14th are corporate office areas."

Gu Cang opened the car door and added, "The environment here is alright."

"You've been here before?" Lin Mu slowly got out of the car.

"That happened a few years ago." A hint of reminiscence flashed in Gu Cang's eyes, then he strode forward. "Let's go."

As the automatic doors slid open slowly, the luxurious hotel lobby was instantly revealed to the two of them.

The crystal chandelier refracted a dazzling light, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Cang: "You call this 'okay'?"

Gu Cang was also somewhat bewildered: "A few years ago, it wasn't like this..."

After checking in, the two waited in front of the elevator.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened, and Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

Inside the elevator, a woman in a red dress and silver-white high heels with red soles walked out side by side with a girl with short pink hair.

Suddenly, the woman in the red dress stopped in her tracks, and the crisp sound of her high heels abruptly ceased.

Her eyes were equally shocked as she stared straight at Lin Mu.

Yu Ning paused slightly, turned to the side, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, sister?"

Su Nianhe suddenly curled her lips into a charming smile, her red lips parting slightly: "What a coincidence~"

"I just messaged you tonight, and you came here in the middle of the night. You were so eager to find me?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Yu Ning and Gu Cang widened their eyes simultaneously.

His gaze swept back and forth between Lin Mu and Su Nianhe, his heart churning with turmoil.

Yu Ning's mouth unconsciously formed an "O": Good heavens! What did I just see? Wang is flirting with a man??

Gu Cang was completely stunned. Recalling Lin Mu's unusual behavior today, he suddenly realized:

Holy crap! This is shocking gossip!

More importantly, I witnessed it firsthand!

Lin Mu and Su Nianhe locked eyes, Lin Mu's brows furrowed: "It's none of your business."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the gossip burning in Gu Cang's eyes, and he sighed helplessly: This matter is probably impossible to explain.

With two crisp "tap, tap" sounds, Su Nianhe walked up to Lin Mu in her high heels, her jade hand slightly raised, about to touch his chin, but Lin Mu stopped her instantly, grabbing her wrist and stopping her in mid-air.

"That's brilliant!" Gu Cang couldn't help but mutter to himself, almost raising his hand to applaud.

"It's beyond amazing, it's incredible!"

Yu Ning stood beside Gu Cang and echoed his sentiment; their eyes instantly met in agreement.

"None of my business? Only half a day has passed, and you've already forgotten everything that happened between us?"

Su Nianhe withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

What else happened?! The gossip in Gu Cang and Yu Ning's eyes burned even brighter.

"Nonsense, are we even acquainted?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Mu walked straight into the elevator, turned to look at Gu Cang, and said in a low voice, "What are you still standing there for?"

Gu Cang snapped out of his daze, first giving the two beautiful women in front of him a polite smile, then quickly stepped into the elevator.

Until the moment the elevator doors closed.

Lin Mu vaguely caught a glimpse of Su Nianhe's gaze through the gap, her eyes carrying an indescribable meaning.

As the elevator slowly rose, Gu Cang finally couldn't contain himself any longer. He turned around and stared at Lin Mu, his voice filled with shock:

"Dude, I always told you my intuition is right!"

"Tell me about it. How did you meet? Were you from the same college?"

He suddenly shook his head: "No, if they were from the same school, she shouldn't be in Zhenbei City..."

"But I have to admit, she's absolutely gorgeous! How did you meet her? Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"I'm rarely curious about things, but this happened to you, and I really can't understand it. The final battle was only a few days ago, and you've already won the heart of your sweetheart?"
