Chapter 617: Chapter 613 A Place, An Important Person

Watching Song Lin and Wang Qiang leave the villa under Jiang Xinyan’s guidance, Fang Xiaocao’s smile faded.

She heavily sank back into the sofa, her gaze on the documents on the coffee table growing colder by the second.

"Qi Yu, you really are like a lingering ghost," she muttered.

"Since that’s the case, this time I’ll send you straight to the Eighteen Layers of Hell."

"Let this wicked soul never reincarnate from the depths of Hell."

Fang Xiaocao whispered with an icy tone.

"Princess Your Highness, the person has already been returned by the Phoenix Clan," Jiang Xinyan said softly as she approached Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, her voice sharp and cold: "Send someone to summon Tom, Thousand Faces, and Vermilion Bird back."

"Understood."

Noticing Fang Xiaocao’s unusual demeanor, Jiang Xinyan answered quickly and left the living room to carry out the orders.

Half an hour later!

Thousand Faces and Tom arrived urgently via helicopter from the New Phoenix Nest in a neighboring city.

As soon as they landed, they rushed into the living room.

"Princess Your Highness, we’re back," they said simultaneously.

Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Come over here and look at these documents."

She gestured toward the materials on the coffee table that Jiang Xinyan had copied.

Upon hearing this, Tom and Thousand Faces immediately walked to the coffee table and picked up the documents.

After undergoing a period of treatment, Thousand Faces’ leg had mostly recovered.

Though he still had a slight limp, it no longer hindered his normal movements.

After reading the documents, Tom and Thousand Faces’ expressions grew increasingly grave.

Out of everyone present, only Vermilion Bird remained perpetually carefree.

The mischievous grin at the corner of Vermilion Bird’s mouth carried a hint of roguish charm, as if he had never heard of a tense atmosphere.

"So it seems Qi Yu really did sell the bionic robots to the pawnshop. Emperor Fengdu was right; there must be someone else behind Qi Yu," Tom said, setting the documents down first.

Thousand Faces nodded: "Indeed. That person is extremely elusive. To unearth them, we’ll need to start investigating from Qi Yu."

Fang Xiaocao’s gaze swept across Tom and Thousand Faces before she paused in thought and then spoke: "I’m assigning you both a task. In addition to collecting evidence of Qi Yu’s crimes, you must also dig out whoever is behind him creating these bionic robots."

"Two missions at once. The evidence against Qi Yu must be irrefutable and authentic. Once it’s all compiled, deliver it to Song Lin personally."

"Qi Yu will be left to the officials to deal with. Our target is the mastermind behind him."

"As soon as you uncover this person, I’ll call in Taotie to assist with the operation. Whether we capture or eliminate them, the end result must be decisive."

"I won’t tolerate such a threat lurking in the shadows, eyeing us menacingly."

"Throughout the operation, Vermilion Bird will provide you with armed support. I don’t care how you accomplish these tasks; I care only about results."

Fang Xiaocao’s tone was frigid, devoid of any emotion.

"Understood. We’ll complete the mission without fail," Tom and Thousand Faces replied, their faces turning visibly grim as they grasped the gravity of her orders.

Even Vermilion Bird, who usually wore a nonchalant smirk, put on a rare serious expression.

"Dismissed," Fang Xiaocao said, waving her hand, signaling them to leave.

Tom and the others promptly turned and departed.

After they had left, Fang Xiaocao sat alone on the sofa in the living room, her vacant gaze fixed on the ceiling.

Qi Yu’s appearance had dredged up memories of her past life.

With those memories came mixed emotions—both good and bad—as Fang Xiaocao found herself unsure whether to relish or resent them.

Gua gua gua—

As Fang Xiaocao zoned out, her phone on the coffee table suddenly buzzed with a notification.

Fang Xiaocao snapped out of her daze and glanced at the phone.

It was a WeChat message.

Fang Xiaocao was momentarily surprised as she picked up the phone.

Her WeChat hadn’t received any messages in a long time.

Aside from Hot Noodles, almost no one messaged her on WeChat anymore.

Once her closest contacts, those who used to message her frequently had long since departed from her life.

Han Xue was dead, Su Wanqing was dead, Yun Luoshu was dead, and Wen Shi had been brainwashed and completely forgotten about her.

These were once her closest confidantes, yet now they were nothing but reminders of how much things had changed.

Fang Xiaocao felt a pang of sorrow. Though some of them had tried to harm her, they had also brought her happiness in the past.

With their deaths, Fang Xiaocao had ultimately made peace with those memories.

Brushing off her melancholy, Fang Xiaocao unlocked her phone screen.

[Hot Noodles: Hello, Xiaocao of the past. The future bowl of noodles misses you dearly.]

Poof—

Seeing Hot Noodles’ playful opening message, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

[Fang Xiaocao: Hello, future noodles. It’s been so long I almost forgot I missed you.]

Since Hot Noodles loved to joke around, Fang Xiaocao didn’t mind indulging her antics this time.

[Hot Noodles: That really stings. I’m heartbroken now.]

Receiving the reply, Fang Xiaocao shook her head in mild exasperation.

[Fang Xiaocao: Alright, let’s cut the jokes.]

[Fang Xiaocao: I know you too well. You wouldn’t come to me without reason. Spill it now.]

While Fang Xiaocao didn’t mind joining in Hot Noodles’ playful banter, she wasn’t about to waste time on frivolity when business was clearly at hand.

Hot Noodles wasn’t one to message without a purpose, and Fang Xiaocao knew it.

For all intents and purposes, Hot Noodles treated her like someone to contact only for urgent circumstances.

[Hot Noodles: Alright, alright, enough joking.]

[Hot Noodles: Let’s get to business now.]

[Hot Noodles: Two matters: First, you need to go to a specific location—I’ll send you a map shortly. Second, you need to find someone. This person is very important, so keep her protected.]

Upon reading the message, Fang Xiaocao frowned slightly.

[Fang Xiaocao: Where exactly is this place? And who am I looking for?]

[Hot Noodles: It’s a place you’ll find interesting, and the person is someone crucial.]

[Hot Noodles: I’ll send you the map along with her details. You must locate her within a week and ensure her safety.]

[Hot Noodles: Just so you know, she’s being hunted down by bionic robots.]

Right after sending this, Hot Noodles forwarded both a map and the photograph of a young woman.

[Fang Xiaocao: Who is she really? You’ve just given me a photo—how am I supposed to find her?]

Fang Xiaocao sighed in exasperation.

With nothing more than a photograph, asking her to locate this girl in such a short time felt like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Forget about the entire country—even within Tang City, it seemed equally daunting.

[Hot Noodles: Go to the location marked on the map. You’ll figure it out there.]

[Hot Noodles: Alright, don’t reply further. I’m busy enjoying a vacation by the seaside, checking out some cute guys.]

Fang Xiaocao wanted to ask more questions.

But after she sent another message, she learned the contact had been blocked—Hot Noodles had once again disabled communication with
