Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

In the private room of the cafeteria, the hot pot was steaming, but Xue Hongyan, Wei Liang, Shi Ming and the others were not in the mood to eat. They were just slicing up pieces of beef and cooking it in the broth.

The Secret Service canteen has a dedicated supply chain for its ingredients, which are delivered to the Secret Service every morning, ensuring maximum freshness.

Simply blanch the radish in a clear broth, and it's delicious enough without any dipping sauce.

"Bai Miao, do you think this accident has anything to do with Director Yun?"

In the Secret Service, nothing, big or small, can be kept secret, especially since Bai's mother had Bai Miao bring Yun Chuxiu home-cooked meals a few times.

Wei Liang was convinced that Bai Miao and Yun Chuxiu had a private relationship, so he tried to subtly inquire about it from Bai Miao.

"Don't think about these things," Bai Miao's gaze was hidden in the rising mist. "You all saw how Yun Chuxiu established his authority that day."

"She doesn't need to go to such lengths to deal with Yin Changfeng and his gang."

"That makes sense," Wei Lianggang agreed, but was then overwhelmed by newly emerging doubts.

"If she directly attacks, wouldn't Yun Chuxiu be the first to be held accountable by the bureau?" Wei Liang added, "Attacks on one's own people will result in being wanted and hunted down."

"Using someone else to do the dirty work is a different story if there's no factual evidence."

Bai Miao hesitated slightly, his chopsticks unconsciously stirring the dipping sauce, before quickly refuting Wei Liang's guess:

"Is she any less suspected now? If the investigation really traces her back to her, is there really that much difference between using someone else to do the dirty work and doing the dirty work herself?"

"You guys should relax and eat and drink more."

"Lin Ran and Min Hongzhe are dead, and Yin Changfeng and Gu Feng are seriously injured."

Before the new team leader is selected, the areas they were originally responsible for have now fallen to us.

"I'll be very busy these next few days."

Bai Miao's gaze passed over the window of the private room and landed on the seventh and eighth teams, whose arms were tied with white cloth strips.

They had just handed over the bodies of Lin Ran and Min Hongzhe to their respective families.

After the grief subsides, what remains is mostly confusion.

The deceased Lin Ran and Min Hongzhe were not only their captains who had spent every day with them and gone through thick and thin together, but also their long-term support and backbone.

Bai Miao could understand their confusion. After Shi Shanjun chose to temporarily step down, Yan Li and Pan Lingzhen also went through a similar period of adjustment.

"What I'm more worried about is how this will end."

Xue Hongyan's concerns were not unfounded. If Yun Chuxiu could not provide a credible explanation, the field operations department would be in complete chaos.

Teams two, three, seven, and eight suffered heavy losses, needless to say.

Teams one, four, five, and six should also consider their own interests more.

Yun Chuxiu, sent by Shenjing City, cannot be touched lightly. Without solid evidence, no one can remove her from her position.

"Anyway, no matter what, at least we don't have to go to the captain's assessment."

Bai Miao scooped out several pieces of tender, stewed beef from the red broth pot, poked them apart in his bowl with chopsticks, mixed them with fried rice, and shoveled them into his mouth.

It tastes really good, so he mixed a small bowl for the tapioca pearls as well.

Although the two little pearls look just like tapioca balls, they don't eat anything.

Shi Ming was quite impressed by Bai Miao's "if the sky is going to fall, then we'll wait until it falls" attitude.

I made an excuse to wash my hands and went to pay the bill.

When Xue Hongyan was around, he was the gentle, refined, and generous Shi Ming.

When Xue Hongyan isn't around, he becomes like Shi Ming, clutching his wallet but forced to be generous.

Wei Liang, a training fanatic, is a big spender on all sorts of supplements, including Qi and Blood Tonics, Spiritual Energy Tonics, and Nutritional Supplements.

After the Secret Service opened up the exchange of spiritual techniques, he became even more frugal in saving money, hoping to buy a few spiritual techniques worth thirty.

Bai Miao checked the price: 350,000 Alliance Coins, and that was only the first, most basic technique.

Because Xue Hongyan was present today, Bai Miao ordered several extra portions of the highest-grade beef, believing the bill would be a big surprise for Shi Ming.

Thanks to Xue Hongyan, he had the opportunity to mooch off Shi Ming's meals again and again.

Everyone goes out with a full stomach.

Xue Hongyan, Shi Ming, and Wei Liang were full of secrets, while Bai Miao and Fen Yuan were full of meat.

As night fell, the Secret Service lit up with orange lanterns everywhere.

Several operators walking by were discussing the lanterns.

The Jiangdeng Festival, which takes place once every fifteen years in Yujiang City, is approaching, and everyone is actively preparing for the festival.

Bai Miao doesn't have a deep impression of the River Lantern Festival; he was only three years old when he last attended it.

He only remembered that his father insisted on taking him to the Yujiang River to release river lanterns.

He was too lazy to go out, and being small, he was prone to drowsiness. He would wake up and fall asleep on his father's back, swimming the entire distance.

During holidays, I am always extra busy.

Although no relevant arrangements have been made from above, Bai Miao knows that there must be a lot of work to be done at the River Lantern Festival.

The team leader assessment, Yun Chuxiu's transfer, the River Lantern Festival—everything seemed to come together at once.

Bai Miao tilted his head back, letting the cold air fill his lungs.

Why do I, a young man in my prime, have to endure so much?!

Back in the dormitory, before they had even lain down for long, Xia Yuebai and Lü Dantong symbolically knocked on the door a few times. After receiving a response from Bai Miao, they excitedly walked in.

The two were still caught up in the movie's atmosphere, constantly reminiscing about the details.

"I actually got to meet Shi Jindai in person today! She even said she's going to participate in the River Lantern Festival!"

The two little girls chattered away, much more endearing than the preoccupied captains.

"We brought you a cake," Lü Dantong said, waving the cake box in front of Bai Miao, implying, "Yuebai spent a long time choosing one at the counter."

"Don't talk nonsense. It's because that cake shop is very big and has too many kinds of cakes."

Xia Yuebai denied it, instead turning the conversation to Lü Dantong: "You're one to talk, but you picked one out for him yourself."

Lü Dantong opened the cake box, inside which were two sliced ​​cakes.

One is an oolong mochi melon cake, and the other is a cream mango sweet potato puree cake.

"Which one do you want to eat first?" Lü Dantong placed the food on two separate plates and held them to her chest.

The cakes at this bakery are indeed well made; they are moist and springy.

After finishing her hot pot, Bai Miao wanted something refreshing, so she chose the creamy mango and sweet potato puree.

"I'm leaving now," Xia Yuebai said, pushing open the door and leaving.

Bai Miao glanced at the slightly ajar dormitory door, took another bite of cake, and wondered, "What happened now?"

Bai Miao also scooped a spoonful for Fen Yuan, who squinted her eyes in delight.

The hair ties, with their hee-ha ...

Lü Dantong squinted, trying to see through Bai Miao's thoughts. She regretted letting go of the nightmare in the life box.

Otherwise, she could have gone into Bai Miao's dream to find out the truth.

"If you like it, I'll buy you another one next time." Lu Dantong put down the cake, but leaned so far that the cake wobbled violently when she stood up.

She pushed open the dormitory door and walked out, saying, "I'm going back to rest too."

Finally, all was quiet. The sugar from the cake left Bai Miao's mind blank.

A cool night breeze blew through the room, accompanied by the sound of high heels. Yun Chuxiu pulled out a chair and sat down, her figure breathtakingly beautiful.

"You know how to enjoy yourself."
