Inside the Victory Team base.
Jiang He suddenly felt a bit regretful for avoiding Bai Cun Ling Zi earlier, not because he suddenly had a change of heart.
It was that halfway there, he suddenly realized a serious problem.
That was, he seemed to not know the way inside the Victory Team base.
Although Jiang He could use his Ultra Mind Power to easily figure out the situation within the Victory Team base, finding Captain Ju Jian Hui's room would still be quite easy.
But if he actually did that, it would be a bit hard to explain.
Just as Jiang He was feeling a little headache, he suddenly noticed a message coming through on the communicator he was holding.
“Daoist Jiang He, Captain's room location has been sent to your communicator, please don't say it was sent by me—Ye Rui.”
Seeing the message displayed there, and a brief route map appearing next to it, Jiang He just wanted to say to this Ye Rui member, “You’re a good guy.”
As the Victory Team's main person in charge of computer networks, after entering the base, he had obviously already alerted the command center computers with a reminder.
At the moment, Jiang He followed the simple and understandable route map on the communicator and went directly towards Ju Jian Hui's captain's room.
According to Ye Rui's tip-off, it seemed that Ju Jian Hui was indeed resting in her captain's room at this time.
Just as Jiang He was approaching Ju Jian Hui's room, a door in the corridor suddenly opened, and Ju Jian Hui's figure just happened to walk out.
“You... how did you get here?” Ju Jian Hui was surprised and froze when she saw Jiang He, then she rarely became a little flustered.
She had indeed been avoiding her husband a bit recently, but not for any other reason.
It was simply that after passing the buck to the higher-ups for discussion a while back, she found that she was becoming more and more influenced by a certain someone, and transforming into his shape.
This made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
In order to reduce her influence from a certain someone and continue to set an example as she had done as captain before, to take personal responsibility for everything.
Ju Jian Hui decided to fully focus on work for two days to restore her original work style.
Who knew that after only a short while, this guy actually appeared in front of her...
“Just happened to be free, so I came to see the silly wife who's been avoiding me.” Jiang He casually said, with an exasperated look.
“Silly wife?” Ju Jian Hui was stunned, was that silly wife he was referring to her?
Since becoming the Victory Team Captain, it was the first time she had heard someone call her a silly wife to her face...
And recent events made her unable to refute her husband.
“To be able to say you have nothing to do, you're really relaxed for a monster and mystical studies researcher,” Ju Jian Hui retorted with a blush of annoyance.
She discovered that compared to Jiang He's relaxed and enviable situation, her newly made resolve to resume her old work style suddenly felt a bit shaky.
Humans are sometimes such strange creatures. They don't feel much envy or imbalance when it comes to people they don't know.
But when it comes to those close to them, sometimes the closer the relationship, the easier it is to be affected.
Especially when this guy is your husband...
“So I have time, and I brought something you like to eat along the way.” Jiang He raised the exquisite wooden box he was holding in front of Ju Jian Hui.
“This is... the food from that old-fashioned bar.” Ju Jian Hui's eyes lit up, immediately recognizing it.
Because she had often gone there with Jiang He during the previous two days of vacation, she had missed this flavor for a while and really craved it.
“Eat it while it's still hot.” Jiang He suggested to Ju Jian Hui.
Of course, he wouldn't say that this would allow him to enter Ju Jian Hui's room.
“Then come in and eat together.” Ju Jian Hui smiled at him, finally speaking gently.
Plan successful.
Jiang He smiled in satisfaction, in a very good mood, he pulled Ju Jian Hui's hand and went towards her captain's room.
“Identity verification successful, Victory Team Captain Ju Jian Hui.”
After Ju Jian Hui identified herself at the door, the room door automatically slid open.
“This is really convenient.” Jiang He couldn't help but glance at it, then followed her into the room.
Ju Jian Hui's room was not much different from the master bedroom at home, except that it had fewer antique furnishings and a more serious tone.
“Today is Halloween, and the base should be pretty quiet. After we eat, how about we go out for a walk together?” Ju Jian Hui suddenly invited.
Bringing her favorite food at this time was definitely quite heartwarming, at least she decided at this moment to temporarily put aside her previous plan to resume her work style.
Make up for her husband as much as possible.
“That... ” Jiang He was taken aback by Ju Jian Hui's initiative, but he soon became a little conflicted.
Because the timing Ju Jian Hui chose was a bit too coincidental.
Should he tell his wife that the Victory Team would likely have something to do soon?
“Then let's go for a walk together.” Jiang He eventually nodded in response.
After a little consideration, he decided not to say it yet.
Anyway, he was going to deal with that monster who was going to appear on Halloween, so walking around with his wife, and then dealing with the monster when they encountered it, didn't seem to be a delay.
Moreover, even if he said it now, it would be difficult to explain how he knew.
