166: Chapter 166: The Special Service Bureau’s Big Sister is Especially Enthusiastic 166: Chapter 166: The Special Service Bureau’s Big Sister is Especially Enthusiastic The office of the Special Service Bureau in Tiann City looked unremarkable, just a three-story square building.
But that was according to Li Mumu’s aesthetic standards.
A building style with large marble columns in front, like this Baroque style, was common in the streets and alleys of Saifu City, but in Tiann City, it should be unique like a scorpion’s excrent.
Li Mumu asked out of curiosity and learned that this place used to be the Frank Empire’s diplomatic consulate in Tiann.
Later, it was burned clean from the inside out by a fire.
The building was bought and renovated to serve as the headquarters of Huaqing Society, the most radical civic organization in Tiann City at the ti, gathering many young and promising individuals advocating for societal progress and learning new cultures.
Many of the city’s newspapers and magazines issued their first editions here.
Li Mumu was able to know this so clearly because photos and texts of these historical events were frad in glass and hung on the walls of the reception room.
Of course, the main purpose of this wall of glorious history was to highlight that woman’s presence.
If it weren’t for the President who hadn’t yet passed away and strictly prohibited personal idol worship and promotional activities, she could completely believe that all four walls of this reception room would be covered with photos of that woman.
And now, they could only express their respect for the President in this subtle and indirect manner.
Many people on the internet in later generations did not like this President, calling her a ruthless tyrant, a heartless executioner, and a cannibalistic demoness.
It could be said that her infamy spread from the west coast to the east coast of the Pacific Ocean.
To describe soone terribly evil, you could say his hands were stained with the blood of the innocent.
To describe the President’s brutality, you could say she dyed the entire East sea with the blood of Foreign Clan mbers, and this description was completely objective and accurate, not at all an exaggeration.
But few knew, or rather, many were unwilling to acknowledge, that in her younger days, the President had also been an important leader in the movent for Western thought and new cultural movents.
“Miss Li, co have so tea,”
The gentle voice pulled Li Mumu’s thoughts away from the old photographs.
Qiao Hongyi was a man who didn’t waste ti; from the mont he returned to the Special Service Bureau, the entire bureau was activated like an awakened beast, operating at full capacity.
Grey Military Uniforms hustled in and out, leaving Li Mumu alone in the reception room, seemingly forgetting her presence.
If I were a spy, wouldn’t that be…
Li Mumu sighed internally, thinking these elder predecessors really hadn’t experienced much turmoil and had an insufficient understanding of danger.
In later generations, she had visited the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau many tis, always feeling sothing was off but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
It was only later, by chance, that she discovered the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters she visited, including the staff, were all fake.
Her enthusiasm had been cruelly toyed with.
Fortunately, though, the people of the Special Service Bureau weren’t as seasoned in the ways of the later generations, but that didn’t an they weren’t professional.
She didn’t have to wait long before a woman… actually, it would be more appropriate to call her an auntie, ca to take care of Li Mumu.
Of course, no matter how old a woman is, calling her “sister” when eting her will definitely not be wrong.
“My na is Gu Yuzhi, I work in the General Affairs departnt.
Miss Li, please stay calm and have so tea.
I’ve arranged a room for you, and I’ll take you there after it’s cleaned,”
“These youngsters are careless and single-minded, so don’t expect them to consider your needs.
If you need anything, just speak directly to , Sister Gu.
Although we can’t say we have abundant wealth here, we definitely won’t lack general daily necessities.
Things like towels, soap, replacent clothes for girls, I’ll go prepare them for you.
You don’t need to be embarrassed; just let know if you need anything,”
Sister Gu seed very approachable and spoke pleasantly, swiftly charming Li Mumu with just a few words.
“If you want to eat sothing, you can tell that too.
I manage the logistics canteen.
I heard from Qiao that you’ve co back from overseas.
If you’re not accustod to our local ho cooking, there’s a Western fast food restaurant opposite our office, and I can go buy you so fried chicken and fries,”
“No, really, there’s no need!”
Mumu Li felt terrified and thought to herself, “What do you take for, so sort of honored guest, buying fried chicken just for ?”
Or does having this al an you’re about to send off for good?
Sister Gu’s enthusiasm was utterly genuine, indeed providing Mumu Li with a standard room equipped with a bed and a bathroom, and the door wasn’t even locked; she seed completely unguarded against her.
Mumu Li took off her heavy leather jacket and lay on the bed for another nap.
When she woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark.
Glancing at the wall clock, it was exactly 10:30 PM.
Sister Gu had already visited once, bringing all sorts of daily necessities, but Mumu had slept so soundly that she hadn’t noticed at all.
At this ti…
Mumu Li cautiously opened the door and looked out.
Her room was located near the back of the Special Service Bureau, resembling a guesthouse, with the hallway brightly lit and utterly deserted.
Was it really safe to wander out as she pleased?
Would she get no more than a few steps before axen lying in ambush on both sides would rush out and chop her into mince?
Maybe better not risk it, just use the bathroom and go back to sleep.
She was well aware of her uncertain status at the mont.
The restroom even had a showerhead, but Mumu Li dared not use it; who knew how many eyes were secretly watching her at that mont?
There was no need to provide them with a free show.
Maybe just wash her hair, her scalp was itching unpleasantly.
Just as she turned on the tap, she heard Sister Gu’s voice from outside the door, “Comrade, who are you looking for?”
Mumu Li jumped with fright and quickly turned off the tap.
Had there been soone outside the door just now?
She certainly hadn’t seen or heard anyone.
This wasn’t the first ti it had happened.
It was the sa at the police station.
Why was soone always looking for her?
She tiptoed to the door and eavesdropped, straining her ears for any sounds outside.
Yet aside from Sister Gu’s voice just now, there seed to be no further noise at all.
Why had the talking stopped?
Could it be that Sister Gu had been silenced?
That seed unlikely.
What place was the Special Service Bureau, where even the cleaners were not to be underestimated?
You never knew if these folks were big shots who had retreated to the second line due to various injuries.
Mumu Li knew this all too well; she vaguely rembered having a senior in college who, after retiring, started selling squid and cold noodles at a grill stand outside the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau.
What was that senior’s na again?
She couldn’t recall at all.
All Mumu Li rembered was that she had a particularly amazing and cool killing technique…
Why couldn’t she rember her na?
[You gradually realize that this might not be a coincidence, so critical parts of your mory might have been deliberately erased.]
