Chapter 239
“Your sister is… Fang Mingyue?” Shen Ge asked tentatively, his expression somewhat strange.
Fang Yaori said excitedly, “Of course, who else would I have? Brother-in-law, what are you doing here? A couple of days ago, my sister said you were in the capital, and I was going to show you around. Just today… ahem, brother-in-law, please don’t tell my sister about what happened today. If she finds out, she’ll definitely break my…”
“Stop!”
Seeing Fang Yaori babbling on and on, even saying more and more outlandish things, Shen Ge quickly interrupted him. “First, your sister and I are just colleagues, at best comrades who’ve been through life-and-death situations together. Second, does Fang Mingyue know about that thing around your neck?”
“No, my sister doesn’t know. It’s classified… Hey, you three, put your clothes on and get out. You’re not needed here anymore.” Fang Yaori said, waving toward the three women huddled at the foot of the bed.
The three women felt as if they’d been granted amnesty. They were originally there to attend to Fang Yaori for money and power. With all this talk of anomalies and anomaly investigators, they were genuinely afraid that if they kept listening, they’d be silenced. They quickly grabbed the clothes on the floor, not caring whose they were, pulling them on as they ran out.
After the women left, Shen Ge leaned against the door with his arms crossed, giving off the impression that if Fang Yaori didn’t provide a reasonable explanation, he’d be treated as some kind of freak.
“Sister’s bro…”
Just as Fang Yaori started to speak, he met Shen Ge’s icy gaze and quickly swallowed the last word. He continued, “Although our Fang family has some sway in the military, I… well, my reputation wasn’t great when I was young. Plus, my grades in various subjects weren’t up to standard, so I was rejected by the anomaly investigators.”
