Chapter 1009: Seeing Bai Muyu Again

"Is that Muyu?" Chen Yu was stunned, the delicate face of Bai Muyu flashing through his mind.

Her father was with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and because he was researching Quantum Sensing, he was targeted by foreign forces and met with foul play; the other side even dispatched a Saint-level powerhouse.

After Bai Muyu's father passed away, she followed in his footsteps to continue this research, and it seems she has made some progress now.

"Yes, she followed in her father's footsteps, continuing the research on Quantum Sensing. Its function can capture any object, including light, energy, and even time. There has been a further breakthrough now, but another foreign force wants to come and seize the research results," Su Yan said.

"Understood. Who is the other party?" Chen Yu asked.

"Speaking of that..." Heihu said with some embarrassment, "It has to do with your maternal grandfather."

"The God Lord's people?" Chen Yu understood instantly. "Alright, I know. Tell me the specific situation; I'm heading over now."

"She is currently at one of our strongholds, protected by people, but the power system of this group is very strong, and those in Dragon Breath who can contend with them have more important missions." Su Yan started the car and drove Chen Yu toward the outskirts.

"How many days will it take? I have to go to the Southwest border in a while," Chen Yu asked. "If it really doesn't work out, I'll keep her by my side."

"Not sure, but the Southwest border isn't urgent. Our intelligence department hasn't figured out the activity trajectory of that group yet," Su Yan said. "Wait for news regarding the border mission."

Chen Yu nodded. Tianyuan Pavilion is the intelligence department of Dragon Breath; since Su Yan said so, it meant she knew the situation there, so there was no rush.

In the suburbs, at a hot spring villa resort, Chen Yu met Bai Muyu.

"Chen Yu." Bai Muyu had been looking at a stack of thick documents, but upon seeing Chen Yu, she dropped the documents in her hands and ran over. Because she was too excited, she nearly fell to the ground.

"Careful." Chen Yu hurriedly supported her, but Bai Muyu didn't care at all that she had nearly fallen; she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Chen Yu's neck.

Bai Muyu had liked Chen Yu for a long time. If it weren't for the incident in Fengling, she would definitely still be chasing Chen Yu relentlessly. Seeing Chen Yu suddenly, she was very happy in her heart.

"Chen Yu, do you know how much I've missed you?" Bai Muyu held Chen Yu's neck, tears falling uncontrollably.

"Didn't I come?" Chen Yu said with a bitter smile.

"I knew you had come to Shengjing a long time ago. I was just waiting for you to come find me, but you never came once." Bai Muyu wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly, "I wanted to find you, but I couldn't put down the work in my hands. I hate you to death."

"I'm sorry, there were too many things going on when I first arrived in Shengjing," Chen Yu hurriedly comforted her. "Didn't I come now? I'm here to protect you."

"If the people above hadn't asked you to come, would you have come?" Bai Muyu was still a bit angry.

"I'll treat you to a meal to make amends," Chen Yu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"That's more like it." Only then did a hint of a smile appear on Bai Muyu's face.

"Mr. Chen, I'll leave this place to you. I still have some things to handle in my department, so I'll head back first," Su Yan said.

"Alright, you go back. I'll take it from here," Chen Yu nodded.

Su Yan turned and left. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Bai Muyu grabbed Chen Yu's arm.

"Don't do that." Chen Yu was speechless.

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, you're single now, and I'm single too," Bai Muyu huffed. "You haven't gotten engaged to the eldest lady of the Ye Family yet, and even if you were engaged, it couldn't stop me from liking whoever I want."

"Alright, alright, shall we go out for a walk?" Chen Yu was torn between laughter and tears.

"Okay." Bai Muyu nodded, then walked out while holding Chen Yu's arm.

"You look thinner than before. Work must be very hard, right?" Chen Yu looked at Bai Muyu's slender figure; she had indeed lost quite a bit of weight compared to before.

"Yes, the information in the documents my dad left behind is massive. I've been researching day and night, and then the higher-ups sent me a research team. My team members and I have spent almost all our time in the lab, except for eating and sleeping," Bai Muyu said.

"How are the research results?" Chen Yu asked.

"Very good. The experiment has achieved initial success, and the theory is already mature. The next step is to apply it to military technology." Mentioning this, Bai Muyu was very happy.

"That's good. So you came here to relax?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, we just received news that forces want to infiltrate here to seize the experimental results, so our team members have been distributed to various places to be protected. Although this is a resort area, there are at least dozens of special personnel guarding here," Bai Muyu said. "And the enemy doesn't know I'm here either."

"Even so, you still need to be careful. After all, this is no small matter," Chen Yu said. "You have to believe that since the foreign forces dare to step into Huaxia, it proves they are very strong."

"I know, so isn't that why I called you here?" Bai Muyu looked at Chen Yu. "Now that you're here, I feel very at ease."

Chen Yu smiled and took her to a cafe. The two ordered coffee and sat down to chat.

The two were classmates to begin with, and having not seen each other for a long time, they naturally had a lot to say to each other.

Just then, a little girl walked in holding a basket of fresh flowers. She looked only five or six years old, and her hair was tied in two small braids, looking very cute.

"Big brother, buy a flower for the big sister," the girl said, taking out a flower.

"Little sister, selling flowers at such a young age?" Chen Yu smiled.

Perhaps because he had a daughter, Chen Yu was very fond of children now.

"Selling flowers isn't allowed in the scenic area, my mom can't get in, so she let me come," the little girl said, looking up expectantly. "Big brother, buy one."

"How much for one? I'll take them all." Chen Yu took out his phone and scanned the payment code hanging around the little girl's neck. "How much?"

"Twenty in total, ten yuan each. Thank you, big brother. Your girlfriend is really pretty." The little girl had a very sweet mouth.

"So well-behaved." Bai Muyu couldn't help but gently pinch her little cheek.

Chen Yu scanned for three hundred, buying her flower basket along with the flowers. The little girl thanked him repeatedly. Just then, two staff members from the scenic area rushed in and shouted at the little girl, "Why did you sneak in again? Didn't I warn you?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't disturb anyone, and I didn't pester anyone. I'll leave now," the little girl hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Leave? Selling things is not allowed here. You get fined one thousand for every time you're caught. This is a high-end scenic area; you're affecting the guests here," a security guard said fiercely.

"I'm really sorry, I'll leave now," the little girl apologized hurriedly.
