Chapter 71: Learning More
Yu Sheng couldn’t quite understand why the woman sitting across from him—the one who claimed to be the Director of the Special Affairs Bureau—had suddenly gone silent. He studied her curiously. Since she wasn’t speaking, he decided to break the ice himself.
“So, your Special Affairs Bureau really rolls out the red carpet when contacting people, huh? I thought Li Lin and the others would be the ones meeting me. Didn’t expect to meet the Director herself. Is this how you always operate?”
Bai Li Qing quickly regained her usual calm demeanor. “No,” she replied steadily. “Only when the situation is special.”
“A special situation?” Yu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
“For example,” she said, her eyes locking onto his, “a… ‘unique individual’ who has lived in the Otherworld for a long time but has been residing here in the borderland as an ‘ordinary person’ for over twenty years.” She paused. “I apologize if you mind me referring to you that way.”
“Uh, I don’t mind,” Yu Sheng said, feeling a bit embarrassed. “But am I really that odd in your eyes? From Li Lin and Xu Jiali’s reactions earlier, my lifestyle did seem to surprise them quite a bit. Though, I guess it’s understandable.”
“Perhaps you haven’t noticed it yourself,” Bai Li Qing sighed softly. “Many within the Special Affairs Bureau have been monitoring your actions, especially these past few days… A large number of our agents have been quite busy because of you.”
Yu Sheng’s mouth fell open in surprise. “Wait… what?”
She looked at him intently. “You have the ability to open ‘doors,’ correct?”
