An Zhiyuan frowned. The task didn’t seem very difficult, but the tricky part might be pretending to be a couple.
"Chief, when do we carry out the mission?"
Being a tough guy was no problem for him, but acting in this kind of role, he doubted his own abilities.
"The time is soon, at most a week. In the coming days we will give you some basic knowledge and materials. During this week, you two must work together in harmony, including reviewing this knowledge so that when facing Sang Ji, you can answer any questions posed to you. At the very least, you must master superficial knowledge."
This was an explicit order.
"Yes, Leader. I will do my best to cooperate with all departments and complete this mission."
The next day, early in the morning, a beautiful plainclothes officer arrived at An Zhiyuan’s office. Although she was in casual wear, it was a knee-length pleated skirt and a floral blouse, with wavy long hair and almond-shaped eyes with dark eyebrows. She indeed looked like a beauty in the making. Most importantly, no one would mistake this girl for a police officer; she completely had the air of a fashionable socialite.
"Hello, An Zhiyuan, I am Wu Yalan." Wu Yalan was also surprised when she saw Chief An; so young and handsome, this was her first time seeing him.
Potential off the charts.
And first-rate looks as well.
"Hello, I am An Zhiyuan. Please have a seat."
The two of them began to exchange information and ask questions about the raw stone auction. There was a pile of materials on the table that they needed to read and memorize. At the very least, they should be able to effortlessly provide basic knowledge. The leader even specially delivered several raw stones of different types for them to analyze. Experts in this area would give them intensive training the next day.
After all, posing as raw stone experts in a week would require more than a little effort.
"Hmm, have you eaten? Make sure to eat on time. Even when I’m not there, you shouldn’t just make do on your own... It’ll all be over in about ten days. Hmm, okay, I understand. I will take care of myself. Alright, go to sleep!"
Listening to An Zhiyuan’s gentle advice and conversation with someone on the phone, this seemed to occur nearly every night. Wu Yalan guessed that this must be An Zhiyuan’s girlfriend, and likely a young one, a girl who needed constant care. Otherwise, why would a man like An Zhiyuan coddle a woman like this?
Yet An Zhiyuan seemed cold and ruthless, with a hint of aloofness that made him unapproachable. He was always stern and serious with others, a model of military demeanor, rarely smiling at work. But seeing his tender side! It was indeed captivating, at least she was developing feelings for Colonel An.
How could such a man not attract women?
"Chief An, here is the batch of information. Let’s review it together; you ask, I’ll answer."
An Zhiyuan nodded, took the materials, and focused his gaze on them.
Wu Yalan gracefully paced the room, deliberately showcasing her elegant figure and enchanting demeanor. She was very aware of her physical attributes and charm—these were advantages. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chosen for this role. Frankly, she was meant to play a vain and materialistic woman, while An Zhiyuan was to be a rich playboy. Only such a pair could create the most deceiving effect.
