The Special Incident Handling Bureau

Hearing Wei Dengke's words, Zhong Lichun glanced at him sideways. She had to admit that with Zhong Lichun's current reclining posture and those lazy, alluring eyes, if anyone didn't know this girl was a violent woman, any man would likely be captivated. Unfortunately, Wei Dengke clearly knew Zhong Lichun well. Upon seeing her gaze, he instinctively shivered and then, like Mo Li, turned his head away.

"Um... man... no! Zhong Lichun, could you please put your clothes back on? You're being a bit too..." Mo Li kept his head turned, not daring to look back, and said with extreme awkwardness.

Hearing Mo Li's words, Zhong Lichun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. She then sat up and deliberately leaned close to Mo Li, asking, "I didn't expect you to be so pure! I read your file; you should be thirty-one, right? Don't tell me you're still a virgin?"

Mo Li was indeed quite clueless when it came to romantic matters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dated Mei Duo for half a year without daring to do anything more than hold hands. Now, with Zhong Lichun leaning so close, Mo Li's straight-man tendencies flared up again, and his face instantly turned red.

Seeing Mo Li's flushed ears, Zhong Lichun's smile became even more mischievous. She leaned her face right up to Mo Li's ear and whispered, "I don't mind at all. Want me to help you experience the joys between a man and a woman?"

"This... that... I..." Mo Li felt the faint breath from Zhong Lichun's words on his ear, and his heart involuntarily sped up. His speech became stammering.

"Tomboy, if Old Cat saw you like this, that guy would probably go crazy with excitement. But who in our bureau would dare to touch you? Are you tired of living?" Wei Dengke, watching the smirking Zhong Lichun and the blushing Mo Li, couldn't help but burst into laughter and said jokingly.

"As a girl, you should have more self-respect!" Mo Li wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. To alleviate his embarrassment, he stood up, walked to the cave wall, put distance between himself and Zhong Lichun, and said with a serious expression.

"Hahaha~! Glasses, this guy is really interesting!" Seeing Mo Li's reaction, Zhong Lichun finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

"How can a girl be so immodest? To be dressed like this in front of a man and not even feel shy..." Being ridiculed was definitely unpleasant. Perhaps to vent his dissatisfaction, Mo Li muttered to himself.

"Why are you acting like a woman, you big man? You were the one who took my clothes off!" Hearing Mo Li's muttering, Zhong Lichun pouted and said sarcastically.

Upon hearing Zhong Lichun's words, Mo Li immediately became agitated: "You can't just say things like that! I was saving you at the time; it was a matter of urgency."

"Alright! I, a woman, don't mind, so why are you so bothered? On the battlefield, gender means nothing. Both men and women have to eat, drink, and relieve themselves together, even bathing together. Would the enemy go easy on you just because you're a woman? Besides, it's not that I don't want to put on clothes, but they're all soaked. I have to wait for them to dry before I can wear them!" Zhong Lichun knew that if the joke continued, Mo Li would be too embarrassed to handle it, so she stopped smiling and said very seriously.

Mo Li was simple, but not stupid. He could understand Zhong Lichun's words. Since she stopped teasing him, Mo Li didn't say anything else. He just sat down again, this time with his back to Zhong Lichun.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Wei Dengke quickly interjected, "Do you think those three foreign travelers have also entered here? Could they be in this underground cavern? If so, the explosion just now might have..."

"Shut your jinxing mouth. Although this mission was temporary, the lives of those three are related to international affairs. We can't give up until the very end." Zhong Lichun interrupted Wei Dengke before he could finish, reprimanding him coldly. Her previous playfulness was completely gone.

After being reprimanded by Zhong Lichun, Wei Dengke pouted in dissatisfaction but said nothing further.

Regardless, Mo Li had gone through life and death with these two. However, he still didn't know what these two people did. Judging by their conversation and behavior, they didn't seem like soldiers, yet their identification was military ID. Out of curiosity, Mo Li asked, "I'm really curious, what department are you from? Why were you able to borrow me without any application?"

"Since we don't know if we'll make it back alive anyway, and you've asked so sincerely, I'll generously tell you. The department we belong to is called the Special Incident Handling Bureau. It's a special department independent of the military, directly under the State Council, and it's a secret department that the outside world generally doesn't know about." Wei Dengke was quick to speak, answering Mo Li's question before even consulting Zhong Lichun.

Zhong Lichun glared at Wei Dengke irritably, clearly annoyed by his indiscretion. However, Wei Dengke seemed unconcerned: "Why are you glaring at me? If we get out alive, the higher-ups will definitely erase this guy's memory, and he won't even remember us. It doesn't matter if I explain it to him now."

"If we get out alive? Indeed, we were too reckless this time. We should have waited for reinforcements from higher up before exploring. Since it's already been said, it doesn't matter anymore. Mo Li, ask whatever questions you have." Zhong Lichun sighed helplessly and then looked at Mo Li.

Although Wei Dengke had explained it simply, it had piqued Mo Li's curiosity. At that moment, Mo Li forgot his embarrassment, turned around, and looked at Wei Dengke and Zhong Lichun with curiosity, asking, "What exactly is this Special Incident Handling Bureau you're talking about? I've never heard of it."

"Is your brain a bit slow? The Special Incident Handling Bureau is naturally a department that handles special incidents! And I already said it's a very secretive department that most people don't know about." Wei Dengke looked at Mo Li as if he were an idiot and explained again.

"You're the one with the problem! I just don't understand what you mean by 'special incidents.' Is it like rescuing foreign friends?" Mo Li was naturally displeased at being called brain-damaged. After glaring at Wei Dengke, he turned to Zhong Lichun and asked further.

"Before I give you a detailed explanation, I have a few questions for you. Do you believe in aliens? Do you believe in ghosts in this world? Do you believe that mythical beasts and monsters are real? Do you believe that prehistoric civilizations existed hundreds of millions of years ago?" Zhong Lichun didn't answer Mo Li's question but instead posed a series of rhetorical questions.
