A Gamble
"Xiao Jiang, did you make this yourself? How long did it take you to make it?"
After Tang Yu carefully put the gift away, she asked with a smile.
Jiang Caixia blushed and shook her head, meaning it was a secret.
"Okay, the gift is beautiful and I like it very much. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. But next time you make something, you can call me to help you, so you don't hurt your hands again."
Tang Yu grabbed Jiang Caixia's hand and took a small bottle out of her pocket.
Upon opening, the bottle emitted a faint medicinal fragrance and contained a pale red liquid.
After dripping the medicine onto Jiang Caixia's wound, little by little...
Jiang Caixia only felt a cool sensation, which made her feel quite comfortable.
She looked up at Tang Yu with a questioning gaze.
"A medicinal solution for treating wounds that also guarantees no scarring."
After applying the medicine with a smile, Tang Yu handed the bottle to her and said, "Keep this. Remember to use it if you get injured in the future. It works very well."
To prepare even a small bottle of this medicine, the cost alone would be over a million yuan, and some of the medicinal herbs must be at least fifty years old, making the price quite high.
Fortunately, money was just a number to Tang Yu long ago.
"Thanks."
Jiang Caixia carefully put the bottle away close to her body.
"No need to thank me, I'm the one who should thank you. Come to my house for dinner tonight, I'll cook you a big meal."
Tang Yu smiled and gave Jiang Caixia a gentle hug, then patted her head.
"Go back to work. I'm going to make a phone call. I'll come back to the office later."
Jiang Caixia nodded vigorously and hummed in agreement.
She was incredibly shy after being suddenly hugged.
She almost bumped into the wall as she went down, her mind filled with the image of Tang Yu reaching out to hug her.
When Xie Jiujiu returned to the office, she saw Jiang Caixia come back with a flushed face and looking dazed.
She quickly asked, "Xiao Jiang, were you bullied by that guy?"
Jiang Caixia shook her head vigorously.
"Then why is your face so red?"
Xie Jiujiu walked over and touched her face; her own face hadn't been this hot even when she had a fever.
Jiang Caixia continued to shake her head and remain silent, indicating that she was fine.
She was too embarrassed to tell Xie Jiujiu about what happened on the rooftop.
"Okay, if he takes advantage of you, tell me, and I'll help you get back at him."
Xie Jiujiu patted her flat chest and made the promise.
Jiang Caixia burst out laughing.
If Xiao Tang really gets the better deal, and Xie Jiujiu retaliates, wouldn't Xiao Tang be overjoyed?
After letting Jiang Caixia go down, Tang Yu didn't make any phone calls from the rooftop.
He held his phone and waited for about two or three minutes.
The Chen Bailing sisters went up to the rooftop.
"Brother Tang Yu."
Tang Yu's younger sister, Chen Baiyu, ran over quickly and gave her a hug, like a little dog eager to run around when it sees its owner.
As always, the older sister Chen Bailing, was reserved. She walked over and greeted Tang Yu with a smile.
Since their last confession, the relationship between the three has developed rapidly.
They went from having ulterior motives to being true friends.
"How have things been these past few days? Any progress?"
After greeting the two women, Tang Yu reached out and pinched Chen Baiyu's cheek, asking with a smile.
"No, Laura is too cautious. She won't let us contact the other members for the time being."
Chen Baiyu quickly replied.
She and her sister Chen Bailing are now officially recognized double agents.
Their information has been recorded in the intelligence services, which means they have received official recognition and protection.
"It's not temporary, it's permanent. Laura and these spies only have one-way communication. Unless we can climb up the ladder, we'll never have a chance to get in touch with them."
Chen Bailing analyzed.
The Ugly Country. has invested far too many resources into spy networks of Laura's caliber.
You can't access these things unless you reach a certain level.
Even given their Huaxia identity, they may never gain the complete trust of the Ugly Country.
"It's alright, it doesn't matter if they can't find out, just don't expose your identities."
Tang Yu shook her head, not in a hurry. Sister Zhang would make her own arrangements.
That's enough as long as they can transmit the incorrect information back to the Ugly Country.
"Well, we're eager to make a name for ourselves too."
Chen Baiyu happily hugged Tang Yu's arm, her heart now at ease. With her inner turmoil resolved, she became even more lively, and her overall demeanor improved considerably.
After chatting with the two women for a few minutes, Tang Yu went downstairs with them to pack their things and leave.
This was his final mission, so he had to keep a close eye on Ye Qingshan the entire time to ensure there were no mishaps.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingshan had already begun training at the largest skydiving base in Mingzhu.
The skydiving base arranged an extremely professional female instructor for him; she was a top expert specially transferred from the Qingshan Department.
This made Ye Qingshan feel much more at ease.
Although the female coach was of average appearance and much older than me.
But at least she's a woman!!!
Ye Qingshan still occasionally dreams about that dog coach A Jie from last time.
In my dreams, he always lies beside me with a radiant smile, gently stroking my chest.
Then Ye Qingshan was woken up by nausea.
"Xiao Ye, as a newbie with limited skydiving experience, my advice to you can be summed up in two words: details."
"Skydiving is one of the most dangerous extreme sports."
"You need to make sure you're proficient in every step..."
The female coach explained the most basic and important knowledge to Ye Qingshan times.
We started talking about the competition again.
The event in this skydiving competition is precision skydiving.
The jumper must disembark at a designated altitude and land at a predetermined location using a parachute. The jump altitude is 1500 meters.
The ground is prepared with jumping targets in advance; the closer you are to the bullseye after landing, the higher your score.
This competition was conducted in single-player mode.
The competition only has one round, which means that even the slightest mistake can lead to defeat.
Ye Qingshan wrote down the coach's words one by one and began to personally tidy up the parachutes and other equipment.
He didn't trust anyone else to handle it; if someone tampered with it, he'd fall and be turned into mincemeat on the spot.
Once all preparations are complete, confirm that the weather conditions and visibility are all in order.
Ye Qingshan decisively jumped off the plane, and after falling to a certain altitude, he quickly pulled up his parachute and began to adjust his direction in the air, trying to get as close as possible to the bullseye on the ground.
"How about it?"
After seeing Ye Qingshan jump off the plane, a person in charge of the Qingshan Department asked a question.
Standing next to him was the head of the training base, who had a profound understanding of skydiving.
After looking up for a while, he smiled and said, "This young man lacks experience, but he's undeniably bold and meticulous, and he has excellent control over his body. He's a promising talent."
"So, does he have a chance to win first place in this competition?"
"That depends on the training results. I can't guarantee anything, but with his talent, he should have a good chance if he's willing to train hard for a month. After all, the strength of the contestants this time is quite average."
Upon receiving this answer, the head of the Qingshan Department nodded slightly.
This time, they're going all out with this almost cheating method.
If this succeeds, then similar tasks in the future will be like getting a free reward!
If not, then Ye Qingshan will have to disappear from this world.
And their Qingshan Department will also be labeled as incompetent.
Life or death, success or failure, it all hinges on this one gamble!
