No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"Does it really need to tear this much...? You used to only tear one sleeve at most."

"Well... because there are too many enemies."

"Whose men's hoodie is this?"

"It...it belongs to my friend. He lent it to me because he saw that all my clothes were torn."

"You just wore it because someone lent it to you? Wait..." A look of fear suddenly appeared on Snow King's mother's face: "You tore the clothes apart right in front of them? And I don't think it could have been torn like this in just one or two times, could it?"

"Uh... this..." Hearing her mother describe it this way, she felt a little embarrassed.

When she heard Jiang Shu say he liked watching it, she didn't think much of it, but now that she thinks about it, it does seem a bit inappropriate.

Seeing her stammering answer, Snow King's mother took a deep breath: "Who is it? Is it the boy you mentioned when you came out of the hatchery?"

"Eh...no, that's not it..."

But Xue Wang was clearly the kind of well-behaved child who didn't lie much. In her mother's eyes, when she said those words, her face was full of "that's it."

Then things got complicated.

Her mother started asking around, trying to find out who had come with the Snow King yesterday.

However, since no one recognized Jiang Shu, everyone said they didn't know.

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a clerk, arrived shortly after hearing the news. He claimed to be in charge of the aftermath and said that the minister was out on business and the other leaders were not there either. He suggested that people ask him if they had any questions.

But after learning about the situation, he only said he would investigate and asked me to wait a moment, and then nothing more was said.

Even now, Xue Wang has tried many times to persuade his mother to leave, but she has been refused each time.

Just as Snow King's mother couldn't help but want to go find the man with the gold-rimmed glasses and ask him what was going on, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door to the ward was pushed open, but the person who knocked did not appear immediately.

You can vaguely hear him talking to people outside.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you. I'm sorry for troubling you. You can go about your business and don't worry about me."

His tone was very humble and gentle, which made Snow King's mother feel that he should be a polite and reasonable person.

But upon hearing this voice, the Snow King paused for a moment.

Why are you here... You shouldn't be here right now...

Then he looked worriedly toward the doorway.

After dealing with the medical staff member whom Ba Wang had called to examine him, whom he happened to run into upon arriving at the medical department, Jiang Shu finally entered the ward.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Jiang Shu gave the mother and daughter an apologetic smile.

Upon seeing Jiang Shu's smile, Snow King's mother was momentarily stunned.

What a sunny child!

Her smile looks a bit like her father when he was young...

However, she quickly composed herself and asked with a stern face, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

Jiang Shu, who had already changed into the uniform that Shen Mo had temporarily found, closed the door and casually pulled over a chair to sit down:

“I’m an agent from the Sixth Execution Team. I was there yesterday regarding your daughter’s situation. I heard you have some questions? No problem, I’ll answer anything you want to know.”

Chapter Seventy-Four: The minister intervened, but it wasn't necessary.

The Snow King was taken aback.

Has he...already joined the Bureau of Heterodox Systems?

How could it be so fast?

Why did I faint yesterday...?

Shock, confusion, regret, and frustration filled her mind, making her even forget to signal Jiang Shu to run with her eyes.

But facing Jiang Shu, and with her back to Xue Wang, her mother did not notice her daughter's unusual behavior.

She simply nodded: "Then you must know who went to Yunfu Temple with my daughter yesterday, right?"

"I know." Jiang Shu nodded.

"Then tell me quickly."

Snow King's mother thought that Jiang Shu would simply say a name so that she could easily find the other person.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Shu sighed.

"The specifics are a long story."

At that time, your daughter had completely lost her mobility and was almost on the verge of death.

Before the people sent by the Bureau of Different Lineages arrived, that person stood in front of him, facing the pressure from the abbot of Yunfu Temple, that weasel, all by himself.

However, a level six semi-sublimated evolver is an invincible monster to a level three evolver.

After a valiant struggle, he ultimately failed to stop the weasel from breaking free. The weasel seized the opportunity and launched a fatal blow to his vitals.

Jiang Shu's voice was full of emotion and had a convincing power, which moved even Xue Wang's mother slightly.

"and then?"

"Then our team leader arrived, but because he didn't know beforehand that the other party had a calamity-level skill, he was caught off guard and was affected at the crucial moment. In the end... it was still too late."

Snow King's mother was stunned: "Dead?"

“Oh, no.” Jiang Shu shook his head: “Perhaps he was lucky. Although he was seriously injured, the weasel did not succeed completely. At that time, it was in a hurry to escape, so it did not have a chance to launch a second attack. He was spared.”

"Where is he now?"

"Hmm...please take a look at this first." Jiang Shu handed a CT scan to Xue Wang's mother.

He had kept it in the bag the whole time, and just casually put it on the table when he came in, only taking it out now.

"This is..."

Snow King's mother took the CT scan, which showed a right hand that was twisted beyond recognition.

Finger bones were broken or twisted, and even relatively intact bones were covered with cracks.

Even she could hardly imagine how much pain the owner of that hand must have suffered as a result.

Snow King's mother secretly turned her head and glanced at Snow King.

Her eyes were vacant, and she was unconsciously muttering, "No way... how could this be..."

Although she was still unhappy about her daughter going out with that blond guy she didn't know, seeing her like this, she couldn't get angry anymore.

So she deliberately used her body to block the horrific scene on the CT scan, so as not to further agitate Snow King.

“I know that as someone who has been through this, you certainly don’t want your daughter to encounter bad people. But I think once you’ve seen this CT scan, you’ll understand that he’s a good person. He’s someone who won’t abandon his friends in a critical moment, and even when facing an invincible opponent, he will do what he knows is impossible.”

Jiang Shu said earnestly:

"If such a person were my friend or teammate, I would feel comfortable entrusting my back to him."

After putting down the CT scan, Snow King's mother sighed, "Could you let him come and see me?"

“Actually,” Jiang Shu sighed, “if the circumstances hadn’t prevented it, he wouldn’t have kept you waiting this long; he would have come to see you immediately.”

“I think so too.” Snow King’s mother nodded with a complicated expression. “When will his injuries heal? I’d like to thank him in person.”

"Just now!" Jiang Shu suddenly shouted.

"Wh...what do you mean?"

Jiang Shu smiled and said, "It just happened, so I came to see you as soon as possible."

"?"

......

Executive Department, Minister's Office.

"Minister, are you really unable to help?"

Shen Mo, who has split up with Jiang Shubing, is seeking help from his backer.

The head of the executive department put down the documents in his hand, looking helpless: "But I already told Qin Lang to tell her I wasn't in the bureau. What would it look like if I suddenly showed up again?"

"You said you rushed back after hearing the news, isn't that enough?" Shen Mo said anxiously, "Besides, wouldn't it be blaming you for tipping off the Holy Temple?"

"What are you saying?! What are you saying?!"

The minister slammed his fist on the table in anger at Shen Mo's silence.

"What do you mean by 'tipping someone off'? Their daughter is with me, and she's injured. Do you think it's right to not tell them about this? Who knew that you would bring in the people with her even though you knew that girl had a special identity?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. You know I cherish talent, and I can't help but admire it when I see it," Shen Mo said, feigning grievance.

Knowing his tricks all too well, the minister sneered, "If you can't do anything about it, then neither can I."

"Don't be like that." Shen Mo put away his aggrieved look and said seriously, "I'm also thinking about the Bureau of Different Circumstances. Think about it, logically speaking, a girl of that status would naturally have high standards, so why would she be willing to go out with that kid?"

"You mean, she wants to bring that kid to the sanctuary?"

"That's right!"

Shen Mo slapped his thigh:

"After my probing, I found that the kid didn't know the girl's identity or her purpose in approaching him; it was all still up in the air."

In this situation, if I don't step in, wouldn't we just miss out on such a talented person?

"Since ancient times, only the most capable should hold office, Minister!"

Upon hearing this, the minister couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then I find it a bit strange. You, Shen Mo, sometimes don't even listen to me, and you even dare to question my judgment and opinion. Would you treat that kid differently just because of that girl?"

"Of course not."

Shen Mo then recounted to the minister the entire process he had witnessed at Yunfu Temple the previous day.

After listening, the minister nodded: "His character and temperament are quite good, and his talent seems to be fine too. He is a promising talent."

However, he changed the subject and said, "But you don't need to force me to protect him because of this, do you? Don't you have several talents like him in your sixth group? He hasn't officially joined the company and isn't a member of the executive department, is he?"

Seeing that the minister still wouldn't budge, Shen Mo gritted his teeth.

"There's one more thing, but I'm telling you now you can't punish me anymore."

Hearing this familiar preamble, the minister suddenly felt utterly exhausted: "What's wrong with you again?"

"I took him to the props hatchery..."

The minister frowned, and before Shen Mo could finish speaking, he suddenly became serious, no longer the person who seemed to dislike him on the surface but had actually been laughing and joking with him.

"He hasn't even started working yet, and you've already let him into the props incubation center? Shen Mo, what gives you the right to use something from the Bureau of Different Principles to curry favor? Who gave you the guts?"

"It wasn't official." Shen Mo realized he'd let something slip after saying that, and quickly added, "I put him in an incubator for items that hadn't been released yet. At most, it's like I put him on a mission before he even officially joined the company, right?"

The minister's expression softened slightly, but he still said, "This is not in accordance with the rules, but since there are no explicit regulations and nothing has happened, let's not do it again."

"Okay, I'll continue." Shen Mo organized his thoughts, pondering how to tell the minister about this unbelievable matter.

Seeing that he had only started speaking and then stopped, the minister urged, "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Once urged on, Shen Mo was too lazy to think about it anymore.

"He conquered a catastrophic incubator."

"A calamity-level one." The minister was slightly surprised, but not too much of a surprise: "That's fantastic. Before him, how far had you progressed in your conquest?"

“That’s where the problem lies.” Shen Mo smiled bitterly: “He was looking at a nightmare-level guide and completed it entirely by himself. Moreover, in this incubation facility, three operators from our group went in one after another, and they all failed before they even knew what the second mission was. The person who came closest to completing the first mission took nearly ten years, but he completed it completely in just six days.”

The problem is that everything is subject to comparison. If we only say that Jiang Shu conquered the disaster-level incubator, then the minister, who could do the same, would think he was good, but he wouldn't think much of it.

But when Shen Mo told him that no one else had a strategy guide in ten years, yet Jiang Shu accomplished it in six days without anyone else summarizing his experience, that made all the difference.

Because he liked Shen Mo so much, he would occasionally take care of the other members of Group Six, and thus knew what abilities Shen Mo's subordinates possessed.

This is why even the minister was slightly bewildered by the stark difference between the two figures.

Seeing him like this, Shen Mo felt a surge of secret pleasure.

So you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also make such a good expression.
