"This isn't a toilet cleaning sign, is it? Did you hang it up? Uh..." Liu Lianyue, who seemed to have regained her composed older sister image, sighed and rubbed her forehead when she saw where Yang Xiaoyou had emerged from. She had a vague idea of what the other person had been up to inside.
So halfway through, she stopped asking questions. If she had known earlier, she might have hung a similar sign herself. Hearing the occasional noises from outside while being in that cramped space was truly nerve-wracking.
At this moment, she looked at Yang Xiaoyou with a strange expression. Even though she usually had a carefree attitude, encountering something like this for the first time left her feeling somewhat lost.
If it were anyone else, they would have definitely been beaten up at the start. But when it came to Yang Xiaoyou, she just couldn't bring herself to do that.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and spoke in a voice that was almost squeezed out, addressing the unfortunate boy.
"Alright, I know boys your age can be like monkeys. That kind of environment might be hard to handle, but some things are better kept to yourself forever. Otherwise, hmph..." After secretly shaking her fist, if one were to only consider her words, it seemed Liu Lianyue had already recovered from the ripples of anxiety on the subway.
Yang Xiaoyou found it a bit odd to hear this.
Actually...
Uh, actually, if we were following some terrible tropes from games, those threats should have been directed at him instead. Why was it reversed now?
"Cough cough, I actually think you should hit me right now," Yang Xiaoyou said with an awkward expression.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue paused for a moment before calmly and unexpectedly swinging her fist at Yang Xiaoyou's face.
"That was quite the slap." With a band-aid on his nose, Yang Xiaoyou complained quietly as he walked outside with Liu Lianyue.
Beside him, Liu Lianyue pretended not to hear.
"By the way." After mumbling for a while, Yang Xiaoyou scanned Liu Lianyue up and down as if he wanted to ask something.
"What is it?"
"Are you wearing underwear now? If not, can I borrow it for a while? I'll return it after humans evolved from monkeys."
At that moment, all Yang Xiaoyou could see was a fist that kept growing larger.
Although there were a few bumps on his head and bruises on his face, thanks to Yang Xiaoyou's quirky remarks, the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two began to ease considerably.
Due to the incident on the subway, after getting off at the third station, they decided to walk the rest of the way, which helped calm their restless minds.
As they walked, they exchanged casual conversation. They talked about mechas, recent events in their lives, and shared personal opinions on the current situation.
This walking continued until evening when the city lights began to twinkle, gradually revealing the vibrant energy of the night, creating an atmosphere entirely different from that of the day.
Couples emerged in pairs, snuggling together as they enjoyed the night market. The affectionate exchanges of those passing by made both of them feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Here we are," Yang Xiaoyou said as they reached what appeared to be an ordinary office building that seemed to still be in operation.
Liu Lianyue felt a sense of relief wash over her. She was drawn to the unremarkable office building and remarked in a somewhat strange tone, "I never would have guessed. With your Hive Security Company's current reputation, I expected the Asian Branch to be more prominent."
In the eyes of the public within the Chinese Empire, Hive Security Company sounded like just another ordinary Blackwater Security Company. Most common people had little concrete impression of it. However, Liu Lianyue understood that describing Hive Security Company as rising like the sun was not an exaggeration.
For some inexplicable reasons, the Chinese Empire had grown increasingly close to this foreign company. Even though the Tongtang Party Headquarters held significant power in politics, they were wary of Hive Security Company. After suffering a setback last time, they had no choice but to accept it begrudgingly.
Yet this seemingly unremarkable company housed the largest branch in Asia within this plain office building.
However, at this hour, crowds continued to flow in and out. It seemed that many people were aware of its significance. Most who entered or exited were dressed quite elegantly, and there were quite a few Westerners among them.
To ordinary citizens, Hive Security Company seemed ordinary. But in the eyes of traditional clients and audiences, it was one of the world's most outstanding elite Blackwater Security Companies. Even compared to Red Dragon, Hive Security Company excelled in areas beyond just manpower; its cutting-edge capabilities were truly unmatched.
It was evident that Liu Lianyue was not the only one with such thoughts. Just as Yang Xiaoyou and the others entered, a voice filled with surprise and confusion came from behind.
"No way, is this really one of the seven major security firms in the world, Hive Asia Division? I've been to Red Dragon's place, and the difference is huge."
Turning to look, they saw a man and a woman walking in from outside. The woman appeared to be in her thirties or forties, exuding a mature charm, while the man was in his twenties, wearing a short-sleeved shirt. His muscular arms were prominent; although he didn't seem particularly tall, he radiated strength.
The speaker was the young man.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. It’s rare for them to agree to this; don’t mess it up. You’re just here to meet their person in charge. The military training will start soon, so don’t screw it up then," the beautiful woman behind him seemed somewhat displeased with the young man's words.
After paying attention to their conversation for a moment, Yang Xiaoyou realized that these two were likely representatives from a university, seemingly involved in signing an agreement regarding military training with Hive Security Company.
This left Yang Xiaoyou somewhat speechless. Blackwater Security Company had taken on numerous military training contracts from universities before, but for Hive Security Company, due to the number of participants involved, the price they had to pay was evidently much higher. It seemed they were investing quite a bit.
Given that Shanghai had experienced issues with Pudong Airport and considering Hive Security Company's professional standards regarding virus aspects, it made sense that they would be willing to spend money.
What puzzled Yang Xiaoyou slightly was that Hive Security Company was currently stretched thin due to their multifaceted operations. It was unusual for them to take on a contract for university military training at this time; there must be some other reasons behind it.
"Yang?" At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice reached Yang Xiaoyou's ears—it was a formal member who had previously worked on missions together with him.
