Chapter 795: Chapter 3: Angel’s Wings · Ruan An

At the same time, inside a secret agency in a large coastal city.

"Welcome back, Taotie!"

Habitually standing in the shadows, Yazi congratulated the woman opposite him who had grown a pair of pure white wings.

Ever since being accused of treason, Taotie had been working hard to clear her name.

Not long ago, Taotie returned from abroad, bringing back a newcomer with Extraordinary Perception, which finally allowed her to return to the 749th Bureau.

"I’m no longer part of the Nine Sons sequence, just call me Ruan An!"

Slowly retracting the pair of Angel’s Wings behind her, Ruan An said after opening her eyes again.

The code names named after the Nine Sons of the Dragon are the strongest Combat Sequence within the 749th Bureau.

Ruan An had been stripped of the "Taotie" code name due to treason, and now that she’s back, she would naturally start over.

"You had reasons for your actions, you can apply to the superiors to have the title reinstated."

"Taotie" in the 749th Bureau is not just a title; it also symbolizes a certain authority and status.

As long as Ruan An remained Taotie, she could mobilize the 749th Bureau’s staff nationwide.

If necessary, requests for support from other secret agencies or even the military could be extraordinarily approved.

"There’s no need for that."

"For me, starting from the bottom might actually be a better choice."

Having been Ruan An’s partner for so many years, Yazi could see the burning ambition and desire in her eyes with just a glance.

"Do you want to strive for a higher sequence title?"

Surprised, Yazi finally realized the gap between them and Ruan An.

After becoming one of the Nine Sons, Yazi had basically given up on the idea of climbing higher and just planned to quietly work until retirement.

In contrast, Ruan An had never given up on climbing higher.

Perhaps this is also a major reason why she was able to return to the 749th Bureau after such turmoil?

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Yazi suddenly asked.

"Which title are you eyeing?"

With a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, Ruan An resolutely answered.

"Ba Xia!"

Before Yazi could react, Ruan An continued.

"The first of the Nine Sons sequence, once achieved feats that intimidated nations alone..."

"I believe my future self will not be inferior to him."

Falling silent instantly, Yazi didn’t know whether to praise Ruan An’s ambition or criticize her unrealistic thinking.

Today’s Ba Xia is a legend, one that is almost impossible to replicate.

Ruan An wanting to replace him, even following the 749th Bureau’s internal promotion rules, would inevitably not be an easy task.

"Forget it, as long as you’re happy."

"Let’s talk about that girl you brought back recently!"

Not bothered by Yazi changing the topic, Ruan An really didn’t mind.

To be blunt, Ruan An and Yazi were childhood friends and colleagues for so many years.

If it weren’t for Ruan An’s strong career ambition, their child could have been running errands for them by now.

During the time Ruan An was wanted, it was Yazi who worked tirelessly, using all his connections to prevent the 749th Bureau from sending top experts to hunt her down.

That was how they held on until Ruan An could prove her innocence and accomplish deeds to offset her crimes.

"You mean Xu Hui? Is there something wrong with her?"

Pacing to where Yazi sat across from him, Ruan An stared at him with a puzzled look.

"Isn’t there a big problem with her?"

"She stayed abroad for so many years, wearing an unknown ’Mythical Armament’ for such a long time..."

"Anyone with a sense of crisis wouldn’t let her continue to study at Lu’an University, right?"

"Or are you not planning to learn from past mistakes, waiting to be labeled a ’spy’ again?"

It’s not that Yazi was narrow-minded, insisting on labeling a girl who just escaped danger as a potential spy.

But past experiences had taught Yazi that young people who stayed abroad for a long time indeed change in thoughts and stances.

Not to mention a secret agency like the 749th Bureau.

Even the national security bureau rarely recruits students with overseas study experience.

"Look at you being so nervous, I’m not planning to develop her as a subordinate. One Meng Yao is already enough to give me a headache."

"I just found Xu Hui’s experience somewhat similar to mine, so I gave her a little help."

With a nonchalant shrug towards Yazi, Ruan An was telling the truth.

The reason she helped Xu Hui return to the country was simply that she saw the girl alone in a foreign land, inexplicably offending an Extraordinary Organization.

As for the "Mythical Armament" Xu Hui carried?

Ruan An only reported what she observed without making any suggestions on handling it.

After all, according to the 749th Bureau’s internal protocol, situations involving the Ancient God are mainly observed and rarely interfered with actively.

Not to mention confiscating that "Mythical Armament."

Until the true origin and capabilities of that Mythical Armament are understood, the 749th Bureau doesn’t even plan to have more close contact with Xu Hui.

"So, the arrangements for Xu Hui aren’t from you?"

With a strange look, Yazi stared at Ruan An for a long time until he confirmed she wasn’t lying, and then he was somewhat surprised.

"Could it be that going to Lu’an for further studies really is Xu Hui’s own wish?"

Nodding calmly and confidently, Ruan An didn’t dwell on the matter.

"What about Meng Yao? Where is she now?"

"She seemed to be affected by me and got demoted near Lu’an lately?"

Quickly shifted to another topic by Ruan An, Yazi just gave a wry smile at her words.

"You mean that stubborn girl?"

"She was indeed affected by the connection, but with my protection, nothing too severe happened."

"However, after you cleared your name, she insisted vehemently on transferring to Lu’an for some reason."

"Naturally, the higher-ups didn’t agree."

"If not for her age, she would’ve been recruited by the Capital Circle’s 749th Headquarters already, long before now!"

Pausing slightly in his speech at this point, Yazi continued.

"Meng Yao was discovered by you. Now that you’ve returned to the 749th Bureau, the HQ can’t easily intervene to poach her again."

"Anyway, if you miss her, you can see her at Hua Fu University."

Showing a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, Ruan An finally smiled ambiguously.

"It’s not urgent for now; I’ve other matters to handle here."

"The Extraordinary Organization that previously hunted Xu Hui seems to have secretly infiltrated. I need to take time to deal with them first."
