Strongest Talent

It had been a while since she went to the department's secret underground base.

Now familiar with the way, Gu Qingjiu could find the exit even with a blindfold over her eyes.

When Gu Qingjiu arrived at the secret base, Lu Ziyang was there waiting for her.

Lu Ziyang hadn't shown much change, still smartly dressed in a suit and looking as affable as ever.

It made one feel unwary of him.

Perhaps because of the incident three years ago, Lu Ziyang felt guilty towards Gu Qingjiu. All these years, he had been lax in his supervision of Gu Qingjiu.

So much so it didn't comply with the secret base's regulations.

"You're here."

Lu Ziyang revealed a gentle smile at Gu Qingjiu, who nodded in return.

No idea if it was an illusion, Lu Ziyang felt that Gu Qingjiu appeared more vibrant than before, where she seemed to exude a hint of gloominess that wouldn't go away.

It was like she was radiating with a brand new glow.
