But Jin Yunhai did not tell Xu Xingguang exactly what this biochemical weapon was or how dangerous it was.

"That’s right," Xu Xingguang said, "It’s the ’Corpse Centipede.’

Upon hearing Xu Xingguang accurately say the words ’Corpse Centipede,’ Jin Yunhai’s expression changed subtly.

The discovery of the Corpse Centipede caused panic among leaders of all nations worldwide.

After discovering the existence of the Corpse Centipede, Xia Country had already begun establishing a research institute specifically to study the ’Corpse Centipede.’

But this was a secret operation of the Alliance Military Department Research Institute, something Jin Yunhai naturally wouldn’t tell Xu Xingguang.

However, he didn’t know that the young girl standing in front of him was actually the leader of the entire research team.

"Aren’t you curious about what value I have for the Alliance Government?" Xu Xingguang playfully stared at Jin Yunhai and said, "I’m the leader of Task Force 23."

The ’Corpse Centipede’ research institute was named Task Force 23 by the Alliance Military Department.

This was something only top leaders of the Xia Country Military Department, like Jin Yunhai, and members of the research group knew.

The fact that Xu Xingguang could clearly state all this meant only one thing: she was a member of Task Force 23!

Jin Yunhai was full of shock, and his gaze toward Xu Xingguang immediately became one of reverence.

"No wonder..." No wonder his uncle would say that Xu Xingguang’s value to the Xia Country Alliance Government was higher than his.

He was the War God, able to command warriors in battle.

But even if he died in battle or fell, there would be other warriors to take his place.

But Xu Xingguang was different.

She was the leading leader of Task Force 23, the person who knew the most about the ’Corpse Centipede,’ and the one most likely to dismantle the Great Sheep Country’s conspiracy.

Her mind was a priceless asset.

If she fell, then the work of Task Force 23 would come to a standstill.

If the Great Sheep Country cultivated large numbers of Corpse Centipedes to create puppet bodies to destroy other countries, it would be a global catastrophe!

Jin Yunhai turned around, took the cigarette from his ear, lit it, and took a few deep drags.

Suppressing the swirling emotions within him, Jin Yunhai sighed and said, "I knew that the girl Huo Wen’an took a fancy to wouldn’t be an ordinary girl."

No wonder.

"That’s where you’re wrong." Xu Xingguang looked at the unconscious man on the wheelchair, her eyes suddenly softening. "When he fell for me, I was just an ordinary little girl."

Jin Yunhai could smell the pungent stench of romance again.

"Okay, I’m heading back. Miss Xu, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me directly."

Jin Yunhai gave his private phone number to Xu Xingguang and walked away briskly.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yue and the others had finished packing up.

"Miss Xu, should we return to Divine Concealment Island first, or do we have other plans?" With the Pilot unconscious, the future Lady Captain became Cheng Yue’s temporary boss.

Xu Xingguang gave Cheng Yue a meaningful look, thinking to herself: This sister is quite perceptive.

"Let’s head back to Cangshan Town first."

Cheng Yue showed a hesitant expression.

She felt that, given the Pilot’s current condition, they should return to Divine Concealment Island promptly for Doctor Ye’s medical assistance.

But the fact that Captain Huo could rest easy while unconscious beside Miss Xu meant he had entrusted everything to her.

Miss Xu’s decision was his decision.

After a brief consideration, Cheng Yue decided to follow Xu Xingguang’s arrangement.

"Alright, we’ll head back to Yujiang City."

*

Two hours later, the helicopter landed at the Yujiang City airport.

Cheng Yue personally drove and sent Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang back to Cangshan Town.

And unexpectedly, Ye Mingluo, who was supposed to stay on Divine Concealment Island, came to Cangshan Town as well.

Cheng Yue was surprised to see Ye Mingluo, "Doctor Ye, what are you doing here?"

Ye Mingluo carried Huo Wen’an out of the car and explained to Cheng Yue, "I’m as prescient as a god; I guessed your Pilot would definitely come here."

Ye Mingluo placed Huo Wen’an in a wheelchair, touched his frighteningly hot forehead, and looked up to ask Xu Xingguang, "Master, his condition is very bad. Are you sure he doesn’t need to go to a hospital?"

Upon hearing Ye Mingluo address her as ’Master,’ Cheng Yue’s eyes widened.

Miss Xu is Doctor Ye’s master?

Xu Xingguang hadn’t agreed to take Ye Mingluo as her apprentice, but his thick-skinned nature left her with no choice.

"First, take him to the room," Xu Xingguang turned to Cheng Yue and said, "Come back to Cangshan Town to pick him up in a week."

With that, she followed Ye Mingluo and Huo Wen’an into the courtyard.

Sister Linlin had already received a call from Xu Xingguang and quickly cleaned up Huo Wen’an’s room.
