My mobile game wife came knocking.

Because in that case, wouldn't she be on the same starting line as Keqing and Hu Tao?

Having shaken off the biggest threat still on the other side of the ocean—Ningguang, and also Xiangling, Qiqi, and Yanfei, they stood on the front line in the search for Ye Ming, gaining the upper hand.

Once Ye Ming is found, how could a mere Gua Sha practitioner like Ke Qing possibly be a match for Gan Yu?

As for walnuts...

Gan Yu thought that Ye Ming would definitely prefer a mature and gentle girl like her to a quirky and clever girl.

However, Gan Yu would only keep these thoughts to herself and would never say them aloud.

The sisterly bond should be maintained.

"Alright, Keqing, cheer up. Hu Tao and I have come here not only to find Ye Ming, but also to do something even more important."

"Something important?" Ke Qing looked up when she heard this. "Is it the interesting thing you mentioned on the phone yesterday?"

"That's right!"

Gan Yu nodded, her expression turning serious: "Actually, just the day before yesterday, Hu Tao met a girl named Jeanne Darque and sensed the powerful energy within her, confirming that she was no ordinary person."

"Yes, that's right!"

Hu Tao interjected, "I received that girl's business card. The card says she is the head of the security department at Mond International."

"Mond? Mond!?"

Keqing's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at Hu Tao, then at Gan Yu: "The Mondstadt you're talking about, is that the Mondstadt you're referring to?"

"That's right, it's the Mondstadt from Mondstadt!"

Gan Yu nodded and said seriously, "I have already checked the information on Mondstadt International. The information shows that Mondstadt International is a European company, and its chairman and general manager is the former Grand Master of the Knights of Mondstadt, Jean Gunnhildr!"

"They've come into this world too!?"

Ke Qing was greatly alarmed, and a strong sense of crisis rose in her heart.

Mondrian has too many formidable competitors, especially the troublesome fire-type loli Klee, who has always been favored by Ye Ming. If Mondrian were to swarm him, there would be no place for Liyue by Ye Ming's side.

"Actually..."

Ke Qing hesitated, wondering if she should confess now and tell Ye Ming about it.

"Don't worry, Keqing."

Gan Yu clearly had already thought of a solution: "Although we used to be competitors with them, in this unfamiliar world, we are all from the same hometown. Moreover, in the search for Ye Ming, we may compete, but we may also be able to cooperate."

"The night before last, Hu Tao received Mondstadt's business card, and Mondstadt also received Hu Tao's business card. So, it's highly likely that Mondstadt now knows about our existence."

Gan Yu said calmly, "I've already found out that there's a cocktail party in Mondstadt this weekend. Let's go together and test Mondstadt's attitude."

As she said this, Gan Yu glanced at Hu Tao again and said, "Hu Tao will also be there. She'll be lying in ambush outside the banquet. If a fight breaks out, with Hu Tao's help, we'll win more easily."

"A fight?" Keqing exclaimed in surprise. "Weren't we supposed to be testing Mondstadt's attitude? We all know each other, it shouldn't come to a fight, right?"

Gan Yu shook her head: "It's good that we can cooperate, but when it comes to matters of personal feelings, who can guarantee that everyone can remain rational? There is still a possibility that a fight might break out, and it's quite likely."

"Let's fight! Let's fight!"

Hu Tao was clearly looking forward to the fun scene of Mondstadt and Liyue fighting each other at the weekend banquet. "It's a pity that Qi Qi didn't want to come with me, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about anyone getting hurt."

Gan Yu shook his head: "It's alright. As far as I know, there is only one person named Jean in Mondstadt on the mainland. Even if there are new people at the banquet, there will be at most two or three. With our combat strength, we can say that we have a sure thing."

As she spoke, Gan Yu rubbed her temples and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, everyone should rest and get some rest so we can start work tomorrow. Also, we should prepare to attend the banquet in Mondstadt this weekend."

"You guys go to sleep, I'll wander around by myself."

Walnut was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.

Ke Qing nodded: "Alright, I'll head back now. You all get some rest."

"Uh-huh?"

Gan Yu responded, but immediately noticed something amiss in Ke Qing's words.

"Go back? You?"

Gan Yu frowned and looked at Ke Qing: "Don't you live here? Where are you going back to?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao was slightly taken aback, and then she also frowned and looked at Ke Qing.

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became heavy.

Chapter 73 The Meeting Between the Enterprise and Lafite

Even though she was prepared, Ke Qing still felt a heavy pressure when facing the scrutinizing gazes of Gan Yu and Hu Tao at the same time.

However, on the surface, Ke Qing remained calm and explained with a natural smile, "I don't actually live here. For work convenience, I booked a suite at a hotel near the company and live there long-term."

"Oh, I see."

Gan Yu felt relieved. Back in Liyue, Keqing was a typical career woman and workaholic, a staunch supporter of the 996 work schedule, and always held herself to even stricter standards than 996. With a Keqing like that, Gan Yu wouldn't find it strange that she would book a hotel room near the company, or even live in the office.

Gan Yu, a staunch follower of 007, really likes this aspect of Keqing.

However, considering that the banquet this weekend was very likely to clash with Mondstadt, Gan Yu still advised Ke Qing: "It's better not to overwork yourself lately. You should take good care of yourself, conserve your energy, and prepare for the Mondstadt party this weekend."

"I will."

Ke Qing, who had successfully gotten away with it, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but remained outwardly calm. "Well then, you all get some rest. There are some snacks and ingredients in the refrigerator. If you get hungry tonight, you can cook for yourselves or order takeout. I'm going back now. See you tomorrow."

Gan Yu nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Walnut, see you tomorrow."

Keqing got up from her chair and greeted Hu Tao again.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Hu Tao waved to Ke Qing with a bright smile.

After Keqing left the bedroom, Hu Tao yawned, looking somewhat sleepy.

"Hmm~ Gan Yu, I'm going back to sleep too."

As she spoke, Hu Tao left the bedroom, closed the door, and quickly walked to the window in the corridor. Watching Ke Qing drive the car slowly out of the courtyard, a sly smile appeared on her lips.

Something's wrong with you!

"Trying to fool me, Walnut? Humph, how naive!"

Hu Tao gave a smug hum.

As soon as they met, Hu Tao noticed that Ke Qing was acting strangely.

Having handled the business of the Rebirth Hall for many years, Hu Tao already had a deep understanding of people's complexion. The first time Hu Tao saw Ke Qing at the airport, she could tell that Ke Qing had an excellent complexion, and that she looked like a ripe peach. She was obviously in a good mood and had been living a very comfortable life recently.

But just now, in the room, Ke Qing said that she had made no progress in finding Ye Ming—after trying for so long, she hadn't been able to find even a trace of the person she liked. How could Ke Qing be in a good mood? And look so radiant?

She's lying!

Hu Tao immediately saw through Ke Qing's lie.

However, she didn't tell Gan Yu, but planned to secretly follow Ke Qing later to see if she could find anything.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

"Let me, Walnut, see what you're hiding. Are you a philanderer? Hehe."

Hu Tao opened the window, jumped out, and chased after Ke Qing in the direction she had left.

…………

Almost the instant Hu Tao jumped out of the window, Qiye, who was lying on the bed in the bedroom, suddenly sat up and opened his eyes.

"The room was so well soundproofed, we couldn't hear anything," the company said with some regret. "If Helena were here, that would be great."

but……

While feeling regretful, the company also had some doubts.

Aren't they companions? Why is Kurumi secretly following Keqing?

The company was unaware of the reasons, but that did not affect her decision.

Now that Keqing has left and Hu Tao is tracking her, she can simply launch her carrier-based aircraft and use their superior field of vision to track both Hu Tao and Keqing simultaneously from high altitude.

As for her, she can stay here and keep Gan Yu company.

Can we find the commander's whereabouts?

With this in mind, the man got up, walked to the window, opened it, and stretched out his right arm.

Two eagles with white heads and tails, and the rest of their bodies covered in jet-black feathers, appeared on the company's shoulders without warning.

"Go, Death Squadron."

The company gave a hushed command.

The USS Enterprise was an aircraft carrier belonging to the White Eagles. Historically, the Enterprise used 18 squadrons throughout its lifespan, with Reaper Squadron being just one of them, belonging to the 10th Air Wing. While aboard the Enterprise, Reaper Squadron shot down 121 enemy aircraft, making it the second-highest-scoring squadron ever used by the Enterprise.

The eagle is the embodiment of the Death Squadron; it can transform into a grim reaper who destroys the battlefield, or into an eagle that scouts the enemy's situation.

The two eagles bowed slightly to the enterprise, then spread their wings and soared into the sky, flying rapidly in the direction where Keqing and Hu Tao had disappeared.

…………

Driving on the road, Ke Qing's mood was a bit chaotic.

Mondstadt's appearance made Keqing, who had originally planned to delay for a few days, begin to hesitate.

Faced with a unified external enemy, shouldn't we be open and honest with our comrades and tell them about Ye Ming's situation?

Reason told Ke Qing that she should speak up.

Besides, she had already taken Ye Ming and even received his acknowledgment. What difference would it make if he admitted it? She couldn't just make him spit it out, could she?

After all, we are all good friends who are like sisters. When the time comes, as long as we admit our mistakes and accept the punishment, and as long as we are sincere and humble, we should be able to get forgiveness, right?

Gan Yu also said that nothing could shake their sisterly bond, and that she would never lay a hand on anyone.

On the other hand, if she were to speak out, if she were to facilitate her former companions' interactions with Ye Ming, what would Fu Hua and Raffi think? And what would those two cherry-haired girls, who are close to Fu Hua and also likely have feelings for Ye Ming, think?

Ke Qing felt that as Ye Ming's first wife, the rightful empress, she had to consider these matters thoroughly and share Ye Ming's burdens.

Ke Qing had absolutely no idea how to deal with this mess of interpersonal relationships, and just thinking about it gave her a headache.
