Protecting Mingxi was merely a side objective.
"...Let's wait for Wei Yangang's inspection results first," Yu Minlan said.
"Even if it's proven that the spatial artifact isn't in Mingxi's hands, it doesn't rule out her involvement in this matter."
Yu Minlan dared not underestimate Mingxi in the slightest; that Xiao Guniang was too unusual.
"I understand."
Mingxi, of course, could anticipate all of this.
After discovering certain data and items within Wei Yangang's spatial artifact, she became even more certain that the Special Criminal Bureau would not easily give up their surveillance of her.
Mingxi was not a selfish, cold-hearted traitor; in both her past life and this one, she deeply loved her country.
If possible, she would, of course, want to hand over that data.
But the premise was not to expose herself to the watchful eyes of certain evil forces.
She loved her country and her home, but her greatest love would always be herself.
Therefore, that data had to be handed over, but absolutely not through her hands.
She might have to use some special methods.
No rush.

Hailam is a dragon-type Transcendent creature, and it is also the most beautiful race among the dragon-type Transcendent creatures recognized worldwide.
The Hailam Cup originated from this.
The Hailam Cup has already been held 47 times, and this year is the 48th.
This competition is open to Beast Tamers nationwide; besides the rule that participating pets must be dragon-type (including dual-attribute and triple-attribute pets with dragon-type), there are no other restrictions.
Pet beauty pageants are different from Beast Tamer competitions; the process is relatively simple, so the Hailam Cup can conclude in two days.
The competition is divided into two rounds: the preliminary round and the grand final.
The judging panel consists of two thousand on-site spectators and twenty thousand online spectators randomly invited by the organizer.
Judges score all preliminary round participating pets based on their preferences, and the top fifty pets with the highest scores advance to the grand final.
In the preliminary round, Beast Tamers and their pets only need to stand on the stage and display themselves for a specific period, showcasing the advantages of their pet's physique, appearance, and build to the audience as much as possible.
Upon entering the grand final, in addition to completing the tasks specified by the competition, a pet battle is also required.
However, the outcome of this pet battle is not important; what matters is how to demonstrate the splendor and uniqueness of one's skills during the battle.
Even whether a pet's defeat is beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, or tragically enchanting when it is defeated are all criteria for judgment.
In summary, strength is not important; what matters is providing visual enjoyment to the audience.
But as far as Mingxi knew, not many people genuinely paid attention to the Hailam Cup.
Although dragon-type pets were used as a gimmick, even if some people were willing to go against their conscience, it was already common knowledge that dragon-type pets were generally not very attractive. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The Hailam Cup, under the guise of a pet beauty pageant, featured participating pets that were all ferocious beasts and raptors with hideous and ugly appearances.
The imagery was quite jarring to think about.
When beautiful things display their appearance, it's called art, but a group of ugly creatures preening on stage is a retinal murder!
Therefore, the Hailam Cup failed to attract the audience who truly loved beautiful pets.
Although the Hailam Cup didn't make much of a splash nationwide, it was definitely a well-known event in Henglong City.
Because dragon-type pets are mainstream here, all activities related to dragon-type pets receive attention from the citizens of Henglong City.
Yiyun Xiqi Plaza is the venue for this year's Hailam Cup.
The organizers were very thoughtful, not only dividing the plaza into a waiting area for contestants, a competition stage, and an audience area, but also decorating the venue, especially the stage, beautifully.
There were flower corridors, doll forests, and decorations such as colorful balloons and ribbons.
The giant stage in the very center was even more exquisite, with vibrant green grass, large expanses of blooming flowers, and even many busy bees and butterflies among the flower bushes.
There was also a winding stream, with clear water flowing through it.
Everything seemed so serene and beautiful!
If it weren't for the rows of seats, just looking at the competition stage, one would definitely think they had entered some kind of flower realm.
It should be noted that this was not a holographic projection but a real-life setup.
One can only say that having money truly allows for arbitrary indulgence!
Mingxi rushed to the contestant registration room just before the contestant channel closed; it wasn't that she didn't want to come early, but her current situation was somewhat special, and arriving early might delay other contestants.
"...You mean the pet you registered for the competition evolved last night, but you haven't had time to register it at the Yushou Center yet?" freewebnøvel.com
In the registration room, one of the Staff Members responsible for registering and verifying contestant information raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing the young girl before him, his attitude not particularly good.
He disliked people who procrastinated and lacked a sense of time the most.
Even if they were young, it didn't matter.
Although Mingxi was popular, she wasn't famous enough for everyone to know her; at least the two Staff Members responsible for contestant registration and verification in front of her didn't recognize her.
Mingxi nodded, about to explain Little Silver Flower's uniqueness.
But this Staff Member didn't give her a chance.
He rolled his eyes and said very impolitely:
"So what if it evolved? What does that have to do with you wanting to see our leader?
What, do you think we're blind and can't tell the difference between a dragon-type pet before and after evolution?"
He sneered again.
"Heh heh, don't worry, even if my colleague and I are ignorant, there's still the pet identification device, a Star-level one, it can identify your pet even if it comes from the farthest White Feather Star!"
It was common for participating pets # Nоvеlight # to evolve on the eve of or during a competition, so as long as the pet's information before and after evolution matched the actual situation and confirmed it was the pet that signed up for the competition, it would not hinder normal registration.
It was clear that this Staff Member truly disliked Mingxi; after speaking loudly and sarcastically, he didn't forget to whisper to his colleague beside him:
"One would think her pet evolved into a new form!
She's got some nerve, wanting to see our leader, giving her that much power."
That colleague smiled awkwardly, not echoing his sentiment.
He always felt that Pang Feng shouldn't say such things.
What if this Xiao Guniang really had a special situation?
Even if not, it was too impolite for him to say such things to the Xiao Guniang's face.
Mingxi: "..."
My dear brother, look at my face and then touch your conscience, is my face big? Is it? Is it?
Am I proud of my palm-sized face?
She took a deep breath, revealing a kind and amiable smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble you to identify it."
She had a good temper and didn't want to conflict with others, so she directly summoned Little Silver Flower.
The desk happened to cover Mingxi's etherealized Pet Space, so Pang Feng and the other Staff Member showed no change in expression until Little Silver Flower's figure appeared.
A sacred and noble aura, a beautiful and exquisite appearance.
The moment Little Silver Flower appeared, it was no exaggeration to say that the world lost its color.
