Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 660 - 372: Women’s War (10,000 Characters for Monthly Ticket!)
Possibly because she was too scared, Guan Xiao’s hands trembled and she pressed the wrong keys several times.
It took several attempts to finally edit the message before she sent it out.
Once she had done all that, Guan Xiao slumped into her seat as if she had just completed a major life event, gasping for air with her ample chest heaving dramatically.
If someone had happened to pass by her car window at that moment, they would have found her face covered in sweat and her back drenched.
Clearly... her fear had not just lasted a moment or two, but quite a long time.
In her arms, the black cat form of Miao Xiaoxiao cocked its head to look at her, then spoke blankly, "Sister Xiao, is something wrong?"
Guan Xiao uttered a sound of acknowledgment, then said, "Wait a moment for me, let me catch my breath."
As she spoke, her hand tremblingly touched Miao Xiaoxiao.
Understanding, Miao Xiaoxiao nodded its cat head and then jumped to the passenger seat, sitting quietly. Its pair of orange-yellow cat eyes watched Guan Xiao with concern.
After resting like this for over ten minutes, Guan Xiao finally seemed to truly recover and slowly sat upright in the chair.
She took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face, then touched her face and looked at the black cat on the passenger seat, asking, "Meow meow, is my makeup smudged?"

"I have to meet the Bureau Chief later, so I need to maintain a good image."
Miao Xiaoxiao cocked its head to look carefully for a moment, then replied, "It’s not smudged."
Guan Xiao sighed in relief, then started the car, heading towards the Investigation Bureau Building while explaining to Miao Xiaoxiao.
She said seriously, "Actually... last night, just after I arrived near Deputy Director Wu’s house, I felt something was amiss."
"You know about my Cataclysmic ability."
The obedient black cat sitting in the passenger seat nodded slightly, "A mother bug that connects with your bloodline."
"Through that mother bug, you can control small animals like insects and birds, and communicate with them."
Guan Xiao nodded. Her ability wasn’t actually very powerful, it was even... a bit weak. It had almost no combat capability.
But, if used in the intelligence system, it was extremely powerful.
Many people, including the Cataclysmics, would pay attention to humans or medium to large animals, but they often overlooked small insects and birds.
Guan Xiao thus used the mother bug to control birds and insects, mainly insects... to infiltrate City Hall, Investigation Bureau, The Military, gathering intelligence from various departments.
This was the reason why the Intelligence Section’s work was so outstanding and why her personal intelligence capability was so strong. (Chapter 325)
She had previously been able to know Qiu Tu’s whereabouts as if they were at her fingertips, even knowing the moment Qiu Tu arrived at the office and then followed up immediately, all because of this reason. (Chapter 335)
The reason she initially uncovered Miao Xiaoxiao... was also because she inadvertently learned from the "mouths" of insects and birds about a strange black cat in Xinjie City.
Afterward, she became a bit curious, went to look specifically, and that’s how she met Miao Xiaoxiao...
Thus, her cooperation with Miao Xiaoxiao had always involved one in the open and one in the shadows.
Miao Xiaoxiao acted openly, while she gathered information secretly by controlling mosquitoes and birds.
The two of them always worked together seamlessly.
But... all this changed last night, after they arrived near Deputy Director Wu’s villa...
Because Guan Xiao noticed that the insects near Deputy Director Wu’s home were extremely scarce.
Even though it was already winter, it was frighteningly sparse—there weren’t even any insects or birds hibernating in the soil or crevices of walls...
This was clearly suspicious.
So, Guan Xiao used her controlled insects to scout around and try to "ask" the remaining insects and birds for the reason.
The feedback she received was only fragmented emotions: fear, fleeing, afraid to approach.
This further deepened Guan Xiao’s suspicions.
So, she kept watching Deputy Director Wu’s home from outside with an infrared telescope, trying to see what was inside that made the insects and birds so afraid...
But, she found no information or clues. This absence of clues only maximized her suspicions—after all, the absence of problems was itself the biggest problem!
Hence, Guan Xiao was somewhat convinced that there was something wrong with Deputy Director Wu’s home.
Just when Guan Xiao thought her Cataclysmic ability had once again proven useful and was preparing to call for reinforcements to further monitor Deputy Director Wu and his family!
Suddenly, she received a warning from the mother bug!
The mother bug told her that there was an unseen eye lurking behind her!
This immediately caused her to break out in a cold sweat!
She knew that she had hit the jackpot. She had actually encountered a clone of the Evil God!
But she also knew that she had won too big of a prize! She and Miao Xiaoxiao might have been discovered by the Evil God’s clone as soon as they arrived in the area!
Now, if she dared show any abnormality, the Evil God was very likely to eliminate her and Miao Xiaoxiao!
So, her brain raced as she pondered how to break out of this dangerous situation.
Eventually, she felt that she absolutely could not run away now, not abruptly retreat, nor show any signs of detecting the Evil God! She also couldn’t let Miao Xiaoxiao notice anything was amiss!
Thus, she had to bring out her lifetime of acting skills, forcibly following the procedure of gathering intelligence, interacting with Miao Xiaoxiao.
She told Miao Xiaoxiao that everything was normal and encouraged Miao Xiaoxiao to continue monitoring Deputy Director Wu’s entire family according to the plan!
Meanwhile, she, filled with fear and dread, continued to observe from a nearby rooftop, watching alongside Miao Xiaoxiao all through the night...
