I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 88 There is a mole in the Dongxing branch

The two chatted and laughed for a few more minutes before slowly hanging up the phone.

Ding Shuangshuang watched coldly from the side, and couldn't help but let out a loud snort:

"No wonder your master favors you so much. It turns out you're using all the tricks you use to woo girls on older women."

Zhang Lingyun put away her phone and gave her a helpless look:

"You really don't know how to talk. I'm just showing respect for my teacher. Besides, my master is young and beautiful, how could she look like an old woman?"

Ding Shuangshuang was so angry that she rolled her eyes, but she had no way to refute it.

Lan Ruoxi's looks and temperament were indeed something that made her secretly admit defeat.

***

The Dongxing City branch of [Golden Rose] is a standalone office building.

On the surface, its main business is related to magic potions.

In reality, it serves as the headquarters of Green Island, housing its spies and agents.

Ding Shuangshuang pulled her large suitcase and followed Zhang Lingyun into the branch office.

As the security guard at the entrance stepped forward to stop her, Zhang Lingyun immediately flashed the [Golden Rose] badge.

The security guard immediately saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, sir, how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Vice Minister Su Wanqing."

Not long after, a woman with an outstanding demeanor quickly came out to greet them.

Su Wanqing is about thirty years old. She is a beautiful witch with delicate features and wears thin-rimmed silver glasses. She is currently the deputy director of the Dongxing branch.

When Lan Ruoxi is teaching, she usually wears gold-rimmed glasses in front of her students to appear as a highly educated woman.

But these are actually just decorations, because witches don't have nearsightedness.

She exchanged a few polite words with Zhang Lingyun before inquiring about his identity and purpose of visit.

Zhang Lingyun got straight to the point, saying:

"I'm from Green Island City headquarters, here to investigate the 'Angel Drug' incident."

Su Wanqing immediately smiled and invited the two to the reception room for a detailed discussion.

Zhang Lingyun kicked the suitcase and said:

"Please help me detain the people inside first."

"Who is this person?"

"The assassin of the Eclipse Society is codenamed 'Shadowbreaker'."

Su Wanqing was slightly taken aback and glanced at the two people.

They were clearly two young students, yet they managed to take down a professional assassin.

She immediately ordered the security guards beside her to take the person to the underground secret room and detain them.

She then politely led Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang into a quiet reception room.

Zhang Lingyun and Su Wanqing chatted for a while.

Only after feeling that this person was reliable did he reveal his identity.

"Actually, I am Lan Ruoxi's apprentice. My master asked me to contact you."

Su Wanqing was slightly taken aback before she realized what was happening.

"I was just wondering how you two [Apprentice Warlocks] were able to capture Duan Ying?"

So he's Senior Lan's apprentice. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student.

Zhang Lingyun smiled and said:

"Senior, you flatter me. The reason I'm being so cautious is actually because there's something else I want to tell you."

Su Wanqing poured him a cup of tea:

"Okay, go ahead."

"There might be a mole in your branch."

Su Wanqing's brows furrowed immediately.

She didn't deny it immediately, which suggests that she herself realized something was wrong.

Zhang Lingyun quickly asked:

"Is there a problem?"

"I just suddenly remembered something that I need to check more carefully."

Zhang Lingyun nodded and then asked:

"Where is your minister?"

He went out on business.

Zhang Lingyun keenly noticed that when the head of the Dongxing City branch was mentioned...

A strange glint flashed in the eyes of the deputy branch commander.

It seems that there was a conflict between the two top leaders and the second-in-command before.

I wonder if this incident involving the mole is related to the conflict between the two of them.

After a long talk, Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang took their leave.

Su Wanqing promised to take good care of Duan Ying and to secretly investigate the mole within the Dongxing branch.

As the security guard saluted, Zhang Lingyun walked out of the gate.

Ding Shuangshuang quickly caught up, and said with some surprise:

"You had such a business-like demeanor when you were chatting with someone just now."

Zhang Lingyun smiled helplessly.

It seems that the "corporate slave" vibe is something I carried over from my past life.

"How is it? Does it give you a fatherly feeling?"

"Get out of here!"

***

at the same time--

In a large hotel in Dongxing City, two people were having a private conversation.

The older middle-aged man was a sorcerer; he was Yu Li, the branch manager of Dongxing City.

Yu Li slowly puffed on his cigar and said:

"The Dongxing Space Science Institute is recruiting a graduate student soon. I need to assign one of our people to this position."

A middle-aged man dressed in black was sitting opposite me.

He is Zheng Yu, deputy director of the Dongxing City Public Security Bureau, who is intentionally dressed as an ordinary person today.

"This kind of question is very simple. You are the head of the Golden Rose branch, it shouldn't be difficult for you to arrange someone."

But Yu Li shook his head and said:

"I don't want to use the power of the Golden Rose Society, so I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Zheng Yu nodded:

"So you mean to say?"

"As far as I know, among the shortlisted candidates, the only one who can compete with my candidate is a female student named Chen Xiaoya. You should think of a way to prevent her from making the shortlist."

"If you ask me to take action, my methods might be a bit rough."

"It's okay. I've checked her information; she's just an ordinary female student with no family connections whatsoever."

"That makes things easier."

***

Zhang Lingyun made a phone call to find out her cousin Chen Xiaoya's address, and then took a taxi to the hotel.

He arranged for Ding Shuangshuang to wait in the lobby, and then went upstairs alone to find Chen Xiaoya.

After knocking on the door, Zhang Lingyun carefully looked her over before matching the image before her with the image of her cousin from her memory.

Chen Xiaoya inherited her mother's family's genes and is a rare beauty, overall she would score around eight points.

Of course, there is still a certain gap compared to Xia Youran.

However, she has a scholarly air about her, which is much better than Xia Youran, that academic failure.

But this made her seem less like a witch and more like an ordinary female college student.

Chen Xiaoya also looked her over for a while, her face full of doubt, and finally tentatively asked:

"Is that Zhang Lingyun?"

Zhang Lingyun smiled and said:

"it's me."

"Cousin, you've changed so much!"

Chen Xiaoya asked him to sit down, while she herself hugged her knees and squatted on the headboard.

She seemed to rarely be alone with boys; her ten slender white toes were curled up nervously.

Zhang Lingyun glanced at it and thought the feet were also very beautiful.

Of course, she's still a bit inferior to Xia Youran.

My cousin's kicks are only good for show, while Xia Youran's are good for food.

Zhang Lingyun started a conversation with her, which gradually eased the atmosphere.

Then Chen Xiaoya started talking, but there was a hint of resentment in her tone, and she would occasionally quip at Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun could understand this.

After all, she used to be the pride of her family.
