The firecracker-like girl from just now seemed to not be her.
Yu Minlan couldn't help but let out a little laugh.
“Do you still want to borrow a sanitary napkin from me?”
Mingxi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately went along with it, “Thank you, Big Sister.”
She wasn't surprised that this heroic Female Special Agent had noticed.
As a fellow female and a Beast Tamers, with the smell of blood in the air, it would have been a problem if she hadn't guessed.
Listening to their conversation just now, this Female Special Agent was very likely the captain of the Special Criminal Bureau team.
According to rumors, promotion within the Special Criminal Bureau was far more cutthroat than in the police force, involving too much power struggle, which often led to varying character among the Special Agents.
So, this Female Special Agent, besides being capable, must also have a very strong background.
“You're certainly not shy,” Yu Minlan said with a helpless smile. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Going all the way to help, Yu Minlan not only provided a sanitary napkin but also found Mingxi a pair of casual pants she didn't usually wear.
She seemed like a good person.
Sitting back in the interrogation room, Mingxi felt like she had come back to life.
“Congratulations.”
Yu Minlan first offered a sincere congratulation.
Awakening three Soul Keys at 14, and doing so within two months.
Such an exaggerated plot wouldn't even be written in brainless novels.
Yet, it truly happened right before her eyes!
To be honest, not only was Guang Shi Shen, who witnessed this scene directly, broken, but she, who was listening to their interrogation from outside, almost broke down too.
Other Beast Tamers geniuses were blessed by God, but as for Mingxi, all the gods and buddhas were chasing after her, feeding her a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast!
Facing such a person, it was absolutely impossible not to feel a bit of jealousy.
But at the same time, she was genuinely excited and happy.
It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the girl in front of her didn't die prematurely, she would surely become the pride and glory of their Dragonflower Country in the future.
“Thank you.”
“Hehehe.”
The young Special Agent Xiaogang suddenly let out two silly laughs and said to Mingxi, “Mingxi, after you finish the transcript, can you give me an autograph?”
Mingxi inwardly exclaimed, “Are you my fan?”
She had only participated in one Changheng Cup, and her fan base had already spread to the Special Criminal Bureau?
Xiaogang honestly shook his head: “I just feel that you will definitely become a big shot in the future, and getting your autograph now, maybe it can be passed down as a family heirloom to my descendants.”
Mingxi: ...
Oh, wow.
This high praise was so much that she couldn't even stand steady.
“...Okay.”
At this moment, Yu Minlan also said, “Then sign a few for me too, and for Lei Yan Great Wind and Lokeshia. When you all become famous, they can sell for a lot of money.”
This one was even more fierce.
Mingxi’s expression turned serious: “Excuse me, does signing autographs for your Special Agents count as bribery?”
She had to ask this clearly first; she didn't want to end up in jail because of an autograph.
“Don’t worry, it doesn’t count.”
Unlike when Guang Shi Shen was present, the atmosphere in the interrogation room was much softer now, at least without that sense of tension.
Towards the end of the transcript, Yu Minlan took the computer pushed in front of her by Xiaogang and quickly scanned through it.
Halfway through, she suddenly looked up.
Her aura changed abruptly, her gaze sharp as a knife, and the oppressive feeling seemed to materialize, rushing directly towards Mingxi.
“Wei Yangang, the middle-aged man who kidnapped you, said you stole his spatial item. What do you have to say about this?”
Mingxi, however, was not startled by her sudden change. She merely blinked, a calm smile still on her small face, meeting her gaze and answering calmly, “There’s nothing to say, is there? I didn’t steal it! If he insists I stole his spatial item, then whoever makes the claim provides the evidence.”
The lie detector perked up its left ear.
Mingxi was not at all guilty; this was the art of language.
She hadn't stolen anything; she had merely taken back what belonged to her and her mental compensation.
Don't tell her that spatial items are stolen goods or anything like that.
She was the victim from beginning to end in this matter; wasn't it only natural for her, a victim, to ask for some compensation?
Why did they kidnap her and try to exchange her Pet Space?
Besides, her spatial button and personal terminal were both lost.
Wasn't it only natural to use Wei Yangang’s spatial item as compensation?
She even felt like she was at a disadvantage!
She was quite curious about one thing, “Can that person really exchange other people’s Pet Space?”
If it was true, then she would be too dangerous.
Both Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower were definitely hot commodities in others' eyes.
Seeing her so naturally change the subject, Yu Minlan narrowed her eyes, a cold light in them.
But she didn't press further.
Her expression softened, and her imposing aura receded.
“This matter is still under investigation; I cannot disclose the specific details to you, as it would violate discipline. However, you don't need to worry too much; Wei Yangang is an exception.”
Mingxi understood.
Exchanging Pet Space was not something just anyone could do, and Wei Yangang's origin might be problematic.
She thought for a moment, “You’d best catch that Liu Yong quickly. I feel that person might be even more important than Wei Yangang.”
When they escaped the basement, they hadn't found any trace of Liu Yong, not knowing if he was crippled by Mingxi and went to seek treatment, or if there was another reason.
“Why do you think so?” Yu Minlan asked in surprise.
Mingxi raised an eyebrow and smiled: “A hunch.”
In fact, it wasn't entirely a hunch. From her few encounters with Wei Yangang, she had somewhat figured out a thing or two.
“I feel that Wei Yangang places more importance on Liu Yong; at least, he doesn't want him to die.”
She had a premonition that Liu Yong might be the real breakthrough.
As for Jiang Yuning, he was a pure, wronged soul; Wei Yangang was mostly just using him.
Yu Minlan did briefly give her the lowdown on Jiang Yuning’s situation.
It didn't violate their principles because it had been confirmed that Jiang Yuning was indeed involved in the kidnapping case.
Therefore, as a °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° victim, Mingxi had partial right to know.
Jiang Yuning, from the Chonghua region, was the second son of Jiang Shengke, the head of the Jiang Group.
He was born with a congenital deformity, with certain defects in his face and legs.
Congenital diseases, unless treated by a Saint-level healing Pet, are very difficult to cure.
So, after Jiang Yuning awakened, he contracted only auxiliary Pets, gradually recovering to normal through the Pets' feedback and skills.
But some people are born greedy; in their hearts, what they don't have is the best.
For the first fifteen years, Jiang Yuning yearned to become a normal person, even willing to give up everything for it.
But once he truly became no different from ordinary people, he was no longer satisfied.
He envied his peers who soared freely on the Beast Taming arena, longing to become a peerless strong person who stood on the clouds and looked down on ants.
For this, he did not hesitate to dabble in taboos.
When Wei Yangang proactively approached him with a proposal for cooperation, he agreed without hesitation.
Then, when Mingxi was undergoing her Limit Tower assessment challenge, she coincidentally matched with Jiang Yuning, and he ‘insightfully’ chose her.
Mingxi, however, didn't believe that match was a simple coincidence.
