For a moment, Xiang Huai thought that he had entered the wrong account and sent the wrong kind of message. He took a closer look and realized that the WeChat message he’d used to chat with the little kid was the one he used daily.
Omnipotent Boss’s WeChat was on another account.
So, had his alias been busted?
Xiang Huai stared at the WeChat screen for a while and suddenly smiled. He sent a message: “How did you find out?”
Learning: “By just looking at your figure, I can recognize you even if you’ve turned into ashes.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
She could have just stopped after saying she’d find his figure familiar anywhere. Why did she have to be so terrifying and mention him turning into ashes?
Just as Xiang Huai was smiling, he saw Xue Xi send another message: “Actually, it’s the scarf you wore today. I gave it to the teacher. You wore it by mistake.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He could not help but turn to look at the scarf beside him.
Both scarves were gray, but the one the little kid had knitted for him was crooked. The one his mother-in-law had knitted was neat and beautiful.
Xiang Huai curled his lips and smiled again. After staring at the WeChat screen for a while, he sent another message: “Mhm. Do you have anything to say?”
Learning: “I know what your special power is.”
Xiang Huai: “!!!”
His pupils constricted as he stared at the WeChat message, and he could not recover from his shock.
She knew?
How was this possible?
In this world, there were only a handful of people who knew about his special power, and those people would never tell anyone.
He simply called Xue Xi. The call was quickly picked up and Xue Xi’s cold voice slowly sounded. “Hello.”
Xiang Huai laughed when he heard her voice. “How did you know?”
“…I guessed.”
Xue Xi slowly said, “Your special power is…
“Nothing. ”
Xiang Huai: “?”
He paused and heard Xue Xi speak again. “I asked about everything about you today and realized that you’ve never used your special power in front of anyone. Your special power is just a legend. Mysteriousness is your specialty. We’ve known each other for so long. Based on my understanding of you, your intelligence surpasses everything. Hence, once you use this, the world will collapse. A special power that can destroy a city should not exist. It’s just a bluff, right?”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He grimaced.
Seeing that he was silent, Xue Xi continued, “Am I right?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “Little kid, you’re so smart.”
In the special department, they’d blocked all the listening devices and added a few more hidden programs in their phones to prevent their calls from being bugged. After being praised by him in a low voice, Xue Xi slowly curled her lips.
The man continued, “However, I think…”
He purposely dragged his voice, making Xue Xi ask hesitantly, “What are you thinking about?”
The man chuckled. “You’ve been asking about me for a long time, haven’t you? Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. If you want to know anything about me, you can ask me directly. For example, do you want to know more about me?”
Xue Xi was very straight and fair. “Okay. I want to know how you graduated from the International Esper Academy.”
Xiang Huai: “…As for that, let’s find a chance to honestly talk and have a good chat.”
“…Okay.”
Sister Xi, who did not know that a certain con man had taken advantage of her, had replied seriously, making Xiang Huai feel guilty.
“Cough.” Xiang Huai changed the topic. “Are you angry after finding out that I’m the boss of the special department?”
Xue Xi hesitated. “Why should I be angry?”
Xiang Huai: “Because I didn’t tell you.”
Xue Xi shook her head. Her voice was slow but pleasant to the ears. There was also a hint of gentleness in it. “You must have your reasons for not telling me. Moreover, you especially wore the wrong scarf today, right?”
Xiang Huai chuckled. “You guessed it again?”
Of course, Xue Xi had guessed it. “How can a sinister, cunning, meticulous, and ruthless person like you make such a low-level mistake?”
Unless he had purposely exposed himself.
Xiang Huai: “…”
He’d take that as a compliment!
Xiang Huai chuckled again. “Is there anything else you want to ask?”
Previously, Xue Xi felt that everything was a part of the teacher’s arrangement. She had never asked out of respect for the teacher’s intentions. However, now that Xiang Huai had said this, she casually asked, “When can Qian Xin come out?”
The main thing was that Qian Zheng’s eyes were about to go blind from crying!
Xiang Huai coughed. “Soon. This month.”
“…Okay.”
The two of them chatted for a while more. After hanging up, Xiang Huai stared at his phone and suddenly dialed a number he had memorized by heart.
The call was picked up.
Nicholas’s voice came from the other end. It sounded like jade hitting the water surface. It was clear, noble, and dignified. “Xiang, what’s wrong?”
Xiang Huai whispered, “Did you eavesdrop on my conversation just now?”
The little kid had set up layers of barriers to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on this “in her opinion” top secret. Unfortunately, she had forgotten that there was not only technology in this world, but also special abilities.
In Country M’s esper alliance, there was one person with clairaudient abilities who could hear voices from thousands of miles away.
Nicholas instantly smiled. “I was just listening casually. Hahaha, your girlfriend is really cute.”
Xiang Huai’s voice turned cold. “You shouldn’t have listened. You didn’t, right?”
Nicholas immediately said, “Of course not.”
After the two of them spoke, there was a long silence on the phone. In the end, Nicholas suddenly said, “Don’t worry, I haven’t reported her identity yet.”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes. “Thank you.”
Nicholas sighed elegantly. Xiang Huai seemed to be able to imagine the helplessness and elegance on that person’s red lips and white face. “Xiang, I’m just standing on my own side. On account of our friendship, I’ll help you hide it for the time being, but she’ll be discovered sooner or later! According to what I know, Country Y and Country F have already sent secret agents. Her identity is in danger. Have you considered what the future will be like?”
Xiang Huai sneered. “If they want to snatch someone from me, they’ll have to make sure they have the capability.”
“Sigh.”
Nicholas sighed again. “Xiang, are you sure you want to do this? This is all I can do for you. When we meet again, our positions will be different. We’ll only talk about logic and not friendship.”
Xiang Huai: “Okay.”
…
On the other side.
Fang Yi arrived at the God of Fortune Group building, the new leader who had appeared out of nowhere. The moment she entered the company, she realized that everyone was busy. They only cared about money and felt nothing for a new CEO like her.
Fang Yi was ambitious.
However, she actually did not know that taking over the God of Fortune Group would not be so simple.
Because!
Other than Qian Xin, the rest of the God of Fortune Group were ordinary people!
They did not know about the existence of espers.
To them, Fang Yi was just a leader who had appeared out of nowhere. Other than to the founder, Xiang Huai, these subordinates were loyal to Qian Xin. How could they acknowledge her?
