Chapter 676
Who exactly is Bai Mianmian?
Chapter 676 Who exactly is Bai Mianmian?
Is Jiang Ci like this in private as well?
At this moment, Marshal Shi couldn't help but have doubts.
After all, he really couldn't understand how Jiang Ci, who always had a cold face and was taciturn, could lead such a group of people.
This doubt remained unresolved even when Marshal Shi arrived at Jiang Ci's office and saw Jiang Ci working diligently with a calm expression.
Jiang Ci knew that Marshal Shi was watching him, but he was busy right now.
Marshal Shi remained silent, so he pretended not to know.
Shi Sijin was not there at the moment, and Zhuo Juntao was also out on business, leaving only Jiang Ci and Marshal Shi in the large space.
After an unknown period of silence, Marshal Shi finally broke it, "Shouldn't you tell me... who exactly is Bai Mianmian?"
Her combat strength is comparable to that of an S-class combat-type ability user, and her purification ability... Although he hadn't experienced it himself, based on the messages he'd received and what he'd just heard in the planting room, he knew that her purification ability was no weaker than that of an ordinary A-class purification ability user.
A person with such abilities would definitely not be the ordinary Bai Mianmian who grew up in an orphanage, as described in official records.
Regarding identity theft, even though the mechanism of linking terminal accounts to genes has greatly increased the operational threshold, it is not entirely impossible to succeed.
After all, according to the information he had, there was already conclusive evidence that several people had had their identities stolen.
Those individuals have been confirmed to be members of an opposing force, or more accurately, members of a force hostile to the entire interstellar community.
He was waiting for the perfect moment to take them all down at once.
So... could Bai Mianmian be one of those people?
Jiang Ci, who had been calm and composed, trembled slightly in his pupils, but his fingertips continued to work smoothly and without the slightest pause.
A pang of regret crossed Marshal Shi's mind. He was certain that Jiang Ci had taken his words to heart.
It's a real pity that we couldn't find the slightest flaw in him.
However, the absence of any flaws is also the biggest flaw.
It seems Jiang Ci really does know something?
Judging from Jiang Ci's attitude, Bai Mianmian herself should be fine.
But he wanted to hear Jiang Ci give him a reason that would make him completely give up investigating Bai Mianmian's identity.
Seeing that Jiang Ci did not respond, Marshal Shi did not urge him, but stared at him quietly, as if he would not give up until he got an answer.
"Huh? What are you doing?" At this moment, Shi Sijin walked in from outside and immediately noticed that the atmosphere between the two was strange.
"You two had a falling out? What happened? Tell me. Could it be that you couldn't agree on the price for the recipes? Father, I'm not trying to be mean..." Shi Sijin said rapidly as she walked toward Marshal Shi.
"..." Jiang Ci finally raised his head, but his gaze did not fall on Marshal Shi, but on Shi Sijin who had just walked in.
"..." Marshal Shi also turned to look at Shi Sijin, who kept talking nonstop. His eyes were filled with speechlessness and helplessness. This brat always managed to interrupt his rhythm precisely.
After listening to his endless chatter, Marshal Shi finally couldn't help but interrupt him, "Shut up!"
Shi Sijin obediently shut his mouth instantly, but his eyes were restless, scanning Jiang Ci and Marshal Shi with curious eyes several times.
Marshal Shi ignored him, his gaze returning to Jiang Ci. His tone deepened as he said, "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you, but can you guarantee that she's truly harmless?"
If she harbors malicious intentions, with her combat power, even Jiang Ci, whose superpower level has recovered to 3S, would be seriously injured if she were to catch him off guard.
"TA?" Shi Sijin looked at Marshal Shi with a puzzled expression. "Who is Father talking about?"
Jiang Ci remained silent for a moment, then looked at Marshal Shi with a firm gaze and said, "I believe in her."
Marshal Shi frowned, dissatisfied with Jiang Ci's answer.
Shi Sijin's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them once again. Who were they talking about?
"So, you can't guarantee she won't hurt us either?" Marshal Shi asserted.
Jiang Ci remained silent for a while before saying, "I can guarantee she won't hurt me."
Marshal Shi was so choked up that he almost burst into a tirade if it weren't for his years of self-cultivation holding him back.
What do you mean by "won't hurt him"?!
So, if Bai Mianmian were to blow up everyone else, or even the entire interstellar space, he wouldn't think it's a big deal?!
Shi Sijin, whose gaze was shifting between the two men, suddenly understood what was going on and stared at Marshal Shi with wide eyes.
Marshal Shi, who was already annoyed by Jiang Ci's answer, saw Shi Sijin looking hesitant and immediately scolded her, "Speak up if you have something to say. What kind of behavior is this, being so coy?"
"!" Shi Sijin was also angry.
What does it mean to be coy and hesitant?
Why is he being so hesitant?!
“Father! You can’t take your anger out on me just because you were upset with Aci, can you? You were the one who told me to shut up. Where did I hesitate?” Shi Sijin said indignantly.
Marshal Shi choked again, "..."
"Bang!" Marshal Shi punched Shi Sijin on the head and cursed, "You brat! How dare you talk like that? You think you're all grown up now?"
Shi Sijin, who tried to dodge but failed, rubbed her head, which was throbbing from the blow, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You're always bullying me. It was clearly Aci who upset you, why don't you hit him instead?"
"Hmm?" Marshal Shi raised his fist, which he hadn't lowered yet, the threat clearly evident.
Shi Sijin quickly took several steps back to the side. If Jiang Ci hadn't been a little far away, he would have wanted to stand behind Jiang Ci and see how that fist could hit him on the head. Humph!
Seeing Shi Sijin's indignant face, Jiang Ci's expression softened slightly, and a smile even appeared in his eyes.
"I'll just ask you one question." Feeling less angry, Marshal Shi looked at Jiang Ci again and said, "How can you guarantee she won't harm us?"
“Father, how can you doubt my sister-in-law? She gave us so many delicious things and was even willing to sell us recipes. How could she be a bad person?” Shi Sijin said righteously and firmly at the first opportunity.
Jiang Ci's smile deepened.
Marshal Shi's temple throbbed, then he looked at Shi Sijin with a half-smile and said, "What, now you know how to protect her? Last night I asked you to be her second husband, why didn't you agree?"
Now it was Shi Sijin's turn to have her lips twitch. How did we end up talking about this again?
Turning her head, Shi Sijin pointed at Marshal Shi and said to Jiang Ci, "See, I told you I refused. Listen to this, it's my testimony."
Marshal Shi: "..."
My hands are itching again; I want to punch someone's head to relieve the itch.
Seemingly sensing danger, Shi Sijin suddenly took a few steps to the side, further away from Marshal Shi.
"Uncle Shi, have you had the two codes I gave you checked and installed?" Jiang Ci suddenly changed the subject.
