Yin Qi slowly opened her eyes and immediately started coughing, and the nutrient solution in the culture dish was coughed out by her.

After seeing the girl wake up, the people around her breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Yue was also soaked at this moment, obviously having just woken up from the petri dish.

"...why are you all surrounding me..."

Yoongi said weakly.

"What else?! If we don't surround you now, we will only be able to surround your body in your funeral hall!"

Lin Ziyu shouted excitedly, but was punched away by Su Xue the next second.

"Xiaoqi, are you feeling unwell?"

Su Xue's coat was now draped over Yin Qi's body, and she asked with concern.

"Not feeling well... Yeah, a little sleepy..."

Li Muhan also put his coat on Xia Yue.

"What about other places? Does your head hurt?"

Su Xue continued to ask while examining Yin Qi's body.

"No... I don't know why, but I feel like my mind is now... clearer than before."

Yoongi said, touching his forehead.

“But I feel a little empty inside, like something is missing.”

"Yin Qi."

Li Muhan looked at Yin Qi seriously.

"what?"

Yin Qi raised her eyes slightly and looked at Li Muhan. This was the first time that the girl was afraid to look directly into Li Muhan's eyes.

"You have violated the oath of Team Seven."

Li Muhan said coldly.

"I know... I am willing to accept any punishment from the Special Management Bureau."

Xia Yue tugged at the corner of Li Muhan's clothes: "...but she is only doing this for your own good."

"That's not OK."

Li Muhan rarely refuted Xia Yue, but this time, he had to tell Yin Qi how outrageous what she did was.

"Never forget, Yin Qi, you are the assaulter of the Seventh Squad, and you are also our family, and no one in the Seventh Squad can be left behind."

If it was the Yin Qi from before, he might have turned his head away and snorted coldly.

But now, after a moment of silence, she nodded slightly: "I understand, I am willing to accept the punishment."

"It's good that you know. Then your punishment is..." Li Muhan pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "After you recover, I will take out a month's salary and treat everyone to a trip. We will all go on the seventh team together."

Yin Qi was stunned, and then looked around at everyone: "Is this a punishment?"

"Why~ Are you feeling bad? This is a month's salary~ I can buy a lot of cat food to feed the kittens. Are you feeling bad, Xiaoqi?"

Su Xue gently pinched Yin Qi's face.

"Well, no, not... I, I..." Yin Qi blushed slightly, then she raised her head and looked at everyone with a smile.

This was a smile that had never appeared on her face before.

"Okay, I accept."

Xia Yue tugged at the corner of Li Muhan's clothes again: "I, I want to go too."

"How dare you say that! You also acted alone!"

Li Muhan turned around and glared at Xia Yue, but was immediately glared back by Xia Yue: "It's because you're sleeping like a dead pig! If I don't go, who will go? I don't care, I want to travel too, I'm going!"

Just behind them, the woman with messy hair was sitting on the ground dejectedly.

What else can she do now? Even the last realm has been shattered.

What else can she do now?

Her eyes were dull as she slowly looked towards the pistol that had fallen to the ground.

There are still two bullets in the pistol. While they are not paying attention, perhaps I can...

Qu Ran's hand slowly grasped the pistol.

It’s so cold... It’s never been so cold before.

She slowly raised her hand and pointed it at Li Muhan's back.

Gradually, Qu Ran turned the muzzle of his gun slowly and pointed it at his own temple.

"...it's really cold, Dad, Mom..."

I also really want someone to put a piece of clothing on me...

Tears still shone in her lifeless eyes, and her hand slowly placed on the trigger.

Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a hand gently placed on the barrel of the pistol, and then a coat was draped over Qu Ran's thin body.

"Sorry, Qu Ran."

A voice with an apologetic tone came from her ears. Qu Ran was stunned. She slowly turned her head and looked at the girl squatting beside her.

"I never really cared about your past, I'm sorry..."

Lin Ze gently held Qu Ran in his arms.

"I thought I had brought you back from that darkness, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect your soul was still trapped in it. It was my negligence."

"..."

The girl's hand holding the gun began to tremble, and finally fell slowly.

She let Lin Ze hold her body.

"Are you still cold..." Lin Ze asked gently.

“...Yeah.” Qu Ran nodded while sobbing, like a spoiled child.

"It's cold...it's always cold..."

"It won't be cold anymore. I'll take you home... We'll take you home."

As soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, people from the execution team rushed in from outside the laboratory.

Led by Yan Yu himself, they blocked the entire cannery at the first opportunity.

"Forest Bureau."

Yan Yu walked to Lin Ze and looked at Qu Ran who was shivering in Lin Ze's arms.

"Qu Ran, you are suspected of endangering public safety, intentional injury, and participating in anti-human experiments. You are now being taken back to the Special Management Bureau for investigation."

Facing Yan Yu's words, Qu Ran did not react at all, but just kept shaking.

Yan Yu bit her lip.

This woman is usually very humble to everyone, even to the point of being a little pathological, but she is also very enthusiastic...

Why does it become like this.

Or, why, after all this time, we never realized that she was actually still living in a nightmare.

She said again and again that it was cold.

Showing resistance and humility to people time and time again.

Is this also Qu Ran's repeated requests for help to the outside world?

"...take her away."

Yan Yu finally sighed and said to the two members of the execution team.

But soon she raised her hand to stop the two men.

"Forget it... Let Director Lin take her back, okay, Director Lin?"

Lin Ze knew that Yan Yu was very serious, and she seemed to have changed a lot during this period of time.

She smiled at Yan Yu and said, "You finally got it, you little blockhead."

"Hmph, please don't make such a trifling statement about something that doesn't comply with regulations. Director Lin, this is not something worth promoting."

After saying that, Yan Yu turned around and walked towards the members of Team 7.

"Yin Qi."

Yan Yu looked at Yin Qi lying on the ground.

Li Muhan and Lin Ziyu both felt a jolt in their hearts.

We’re done for. Our Team Seven has an old grudge against Yan Yu.

Previously, Lin Ziyu had hacked into Yan Yu's terminal system and asked her to openly play the 18x video during the report meeting. This was... a great shame and humiliation.

Now I don’t know how this girl will torture Yin Qi.

"You are suspected of violating the Special Management Bureau's member management regulations and squad operation regulations, and are suspected of defection."

Lin Ziyu immediately stood in front of Yan Yu.

"...Yan, Captain Yan, can you please let me off the hook? Yin Qi went to investigate the Cheshire Cat. She, she just..."

"Acting on one's own after receiving a commission and leaving the organization are serious violations of discipline."

Yan Yu said coldly, and then looked at Li Muhan: "This is your man, you can't escape the blame."

Li Muhan scratched his head: "Don't worry, my people got into trouble, I will not stay out of it, but this matter is not entirely Yin Qi's responsibility."

After saying that, Li Muhan took out his cell phone, but it was not his cell phone, but Yin Qi's cell phone.

"This is Yin Qi's terminal. It records in detail that after Yin Qi received the commission, she had already reported the mission through the terminal. However, the terminal malfunctioned and I was unconscious in bed. She was unable to get support, so she had to act alone."

Yan Yu looked at Li Muhan coldly.

It was a lie so clumsy that I was too lazy to expose it.

She looked at the terminal in Li Muhan's hand, and the reporting department displayed on it was actually the engineering department.

This is obviously fake, and it was done with the help of the engineering department... Really... They have absolutely no regard for rules and laws!

But in the end, Yan Yu did not explode, but sighed instead.

"Well, since it was reported but not received, the responsible party is the engineering department that maintains the equipment. I will put all the losses caused by this incident on Minister Mo."

Li Muhan swallowed his saliva. He looked at Yan Yu and knew that the other party had seen through him long ago.

But she didn't plan to pursue it, but she wanted to let an official take the blame for this matter.

This falls on Mo Qiao's head.

"Ah!"

Mo Qiao was holding a wrench and doing his work when he suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong, Minister? Do you have a cold?"

"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling."

She began to regret agreeing to help Li Muhan.

. . . . . .

Outside the abandoned warehouse.

"team leader."

Yan Yu's adjutant walked up to her with some embarrassment and asked, "Are you really going to let them go just like that?"

"..."

Yan Yu suddenly didn't know how to answer. If it was her father, or her past self, she might not give up. Even if Lin Ze was present, she would still take Qu Ran and Yin Qi away by force.

But now I don’t know why.

Before doing anything, Yan Yu would think about whether there was anything else that needed to be considered beyond the rules.

And this is definitely not something a law enforcement officer should think about.

Looking up at the cold rain falling from the sky, Yan Yu gradually felt that he was not suitable to sit in this position.

Afterwards, Lin Ze brought Qu Ran back to the Special Management Bureau and handed him over to the procuratorate.

The procuratorate will collect evidence and conduct investigations, and eventually initiate a trial against Qu Ran with the adjudication court.

Yin Qi and Li Muhan forcibly dragged Mo Qiao to the execution unit to testify, proving that there was a problem with the terminal maintained by the engineering unit, so Yin Qi's reporting information was mistakenly sent to the Engineering Department. The Engineering Department did not accept the report because the information did not fall within the scope of its jurisdiction.

So it was ignored.

It's full of loopholes from beginning to end...

Even the procuratorate sent three waves of people to conduct investigations.

Finally, with the involvement of many forces, even the deputy director of the Special Management Bureau, Yue Qing, who stepped in to help with the aftermath of this farce full of loopholes, the procuratorate finally decided to drop all charges against Yin Qi.

After all, she hadn't caused any real damage.

The same principle also applies to Qu Ran.

But Qu Ran’s situation is more complicated.

Not only did she violate the regulations of the Special Management Bureau, but she also concealed all subsequent investigations of the Cheshire Cat, so she was prosecuted by the Procuratorate and tried by the Adjudication Court.

Qu Ran will be stripped of his position as the head of the Intelligence Department because of his unstable mental state. Therefore, he will be under the supervision of the Special Management Bureau for life.

As such, she would need a guarantor.

According to the principle of avoidance of guarantees for members who violate regulations, Lin Ze, who brought him to the Special Management Bureau, and Chang Yue, who signed the document at that time, cannot provide guarantees.

Li Muhan is his old subordinate and cannot be his guarantor either.

If he cannot find a guarantor, Qu Ran will have no choice but to stay in the Forbidden Demon Prison.

But Qu Ran didn't care. Even if he had to stay here forever, it didn't matter.

At least now, she no longer has nightmares every night. Although it is very cold, Lin Ze comes to see her and stays with her every day.

But this situation did not last long, as Qu Ran's guarantor appeared.

Moreover, the guarantor is of considerable background and is in full compliance with procedures.

Captain of the Procuratorate’s enforcement team of the Special Management Bureau.

Yan Jue.

"From today on, I will be your guarantor."

Yan Jue adjusted his glasses and looked at Qu Ran who was sitting blankly on the chair in the room and said, "Because of your mental condition, you can continue to stay in the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. You can come and go freely, but you must be accompanied by a special person. Can you accept it?"

Qu Ran raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Jue timidly like a child.

"Can I... continue to live..."

Yan Jue was stunned. He thought Qu Ran would put forward some conditions.

But she didn't expect that her wish would be just like her whole life.

So humble and so small, yet so full of hope.

"You can continue to do some simple logistical work in the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau and you will also have your own salary. If you need any help, you can contact me."

After saying that, Yan Jue stood up and walked towards the door.

"Please, please wait a moment..."

Qu Ran stood up in a hurry, trembling as she took something out of her pocket, and then she carefully handed a piece of chocolate wafer to Yan Jue.

"...Thank you, thank you..."

Yan Jue turned her head slightly and looked at Qu Ran and the chocolate in her trembling hands.

Finally he took the chocolate, without saying a word, pushed the door and left the room.

At the door of the room, Yan Yu was waiting for him.

"Thank you, Father..."

"I've read the information." Yan Jue didn't even look at his daughter, but said calmly: "As the head of the Tianhai City Intelligence Department, Qu Ran has outstanding personal abilities and has made many contributions to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. The intelligence she provided saved your life several times, right?"

Yan Yu nodded. This girl was always very reserved when facing her father. She lowered her head slightly and her voice sounded a little unconfident.

Because in her opinion, she had violated the rules.

"Yes, yes! She, she is a good person, but she has been trapped in a nightmare."

Yan Jue turned around and looked at his daughter: "Then raise your heads. You haven't done anything wrong. Remember, Yan Yu, obey the regulations of the Special Management Bureau and have a clear conscience."

After saying that, he handed the chocolate in his hand to Yan Yu.

"Father......"

Yan Yu took the chocolate and watched his father turn and leave.

Then, the man seemed to remember something. He stopped and did not look back.

"After get off work today, I went home to eat. I bought some groceries."

After saying that, the man left without looking back.

Yan Yu was stunned.

Although she was assigned an apartment in Tianhai City, she rarely went back and never cooked for herself.

But can father... cook?

In my memory, my father changed after my mother passed away and became quiet and taciturn.

She slowly clenched the chocolate in her hand. Sometimes, a little hope can spread to everyone's heart through this subtle warmth.

"Okay, Father!"
