I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 2] Chapter 11
[Vol. 2] Chapter 11: The Call from Senior
After hearing this, Yinya was somewhat surprised.
She hadn’t expected such a thing to happen, strange girls and experiments?
Yinya recalled that she had come across some related information in the Ability User Association.
Six months ago, there were frequent incidents of children mysteriously disappearing from orphanages sponsored by the Lin family, mostly those approaching adulthood.
The Association had sent people to investigate, but with no results. Fortunately, it seemed that the other party also feared the Ability User Association. After their investigation, there was no further activity.
However, this made it difficult for the Association to continue its investigation. To this day, those missing orphaned children had not been found.
Over the past six months, the Association had sent out teams, but they hadn’t found any clues either. Now, the child they saved seemed to be related to those earlier missing cases.
Yinya clenched her fists. Knowing about such things back then had made her unable to get angry. Now that she finally had a clue, she had to make those scumbags pay the price.
Although she had retired, according to the Association’s records, she should have died in battle. However, Yinya still couldn’t let go of her past responsibilities.
Directly contacting the Association was impossible, it would inevitably lead to the president’s incessant nagging. She didn’t want to endure the president’s endless lectures or the horror of writing a ten-thousand-word self-critique. For Yinya, that was more unbearable than death.
It seemed that she could only rely on her own little assistant to help. To confirm whether the girl was related to the missing case, Yinya needed to know the list of missing names from that incident. Yinya headed upstairs to make a call to her assistant.
Watching her mother’s departing figure, Yinyue sighed again.
Her mother always handled troubles like this, never telling the family. Despite the fact that there were only the two of them in the house.
Whenever Yinyue saw her mother leave for work, her heart felt uneasy.
Couldn’t she at least say something to reassure her?
After all, as an S-class powerhouse, the tasks she had to carry out were usually very dangerous. It was easy to not come back with just one small mistake, just like this time’s relic mission.
Clearly knowing that she might die inside, she still insisted on coming.
What a foolish mother.
Yinyue lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and fell into contemplation.
“Sister Yinyue, are you okay?”
Xueluo didn’t know what was going on, but Yinyue’s mood suddenly became low.
“I’m fine, just a little tired. I need to rest for a bit.” Hearing Xueluo’s words, Yinyue slowly opened her eyes.
“Don’t you need to go back to your room and rest?”
Xueluo actually saw through Yinyue’s lie, but she chose not to expose it.
“It’s not necessary. This little fatigue doesn’t matter. By the way, what were you talking about with Miss Yinya just now?”
Yinyue pretended to be calm, picked up the water on the table, and started drinking.
“Uh… we were discussing about my death.”
As soon as Xueluo spoke, Yinyue couldn’t help but spit out the water she had just drunk.
“What did you just say?” Yinyue seemed unable to believe what Xueluo had said.
“Sister Yinyue, calm down for a moment.”
Xueluo handed a handkerchief to Yinyue. Yinyue also realized that she had overreacted a bit. She took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
After Yinyue finished wiping, Xueluo began to tell her what had just happened. Yinyue became even more agitated after hearing it.
That scumbag Xiao Xuan, always causing trouble for her young lady. He even went so far as to commit such insane acts as killing second lady. If it weren’t for those old men in the Xiao family, she would have dealt with him long ago. The more Yinyue thought about it, the angrier she became.
…………
Upstairs, Yinya walked to the telephone and dialed a familiar number.
In the messy bedroom, the phone suddenly rang, but shortly after, it was hung up by the girl lying on the bed.
Who could be so shameless? Just when I’m resting today, they have to call me. After hanging up, the girl lay back on the bed.
Ugh~
It’s really comfortable to sleep in the blanket. Before the girl could fall asleep again, the phone rang once more.
The girl opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and looked at the unfamiliar number on it. How come it’s this number again? Are they trying to disturb my rest?
Darn it.
She thought, ‘I’ll see who’s disturbing my beauty sleep, and I’ll make sure to teach them a lesson.’
The girl answered the phone, ready to unleash a barrage of curses, but to her surprise, a familiar voice spoke first.
“Yi Luo, have you become so bold recently that you dare to hang up on me?”
Upon hearing this voice, Yi Luo, who had been dozing off, instantly became alert. It was the voice of Senior Yinya!
“I’m terribly sorry, Senior Yinya, I was just…”
Wait a minute, didn’t Senior Yinya already die in battle? Could it be a ghost on the other end of the line? Yi Luo suddenly realized that something was wrong.
“Yi Luo, why aren’t you saying anything?”
The voice on the other end of the phone spoke again, causing Yi Luo to panic. Was she really encountering a ghost?
“I’m sorry, Senior Yinya, I shouldn’t have wasted food last night. I’ll go burn incense for you now, please don’t come looking for me.”
Yi Luo said on the other end of the phone, never expecting that today she would be visited by her senior as a ghost. Could it be that Senior found out about her wasting food last night and that’s why she’s come to find her?
“Do you really think I’m dead?”
Yinya’s voice came through, and Yi Luo realized that she seemed to believe she was still alive, even mistaking herself for a ghost. But this kid dared to waste food. When she got the chance, she’d have to teach her a lesson.
“But you…” Yi Luo still harbored doubts.
“If you still think I’m dead, I’ll expose your little secret.” Seeing this, Yinya had to pull out all the tricks.
“I’m sorry, Senior Yinya, please, please, absolutely do not reveal it.”
Hearing this, Yi Luo quickly apologized. It seemed that Senior really wasn’t dead, otherwise she wouldn’t have said something like that. She couldn’t possibly tell someone her little secret from beyond the grave.
“If you’re not dead, why don’t you come back to the association?” Yi Luo asked.
“Well, because I have a very important mission to carry out.”
Yinya had to resort to a little white lie to try to hide the fact that she was taking advantage of the opportunity to slack off.
“I think you just want to take this opportunity to retire,” Yi Luo bluntly pointed out.
“Yi Luo, haven’t you heard of ‘don’t reveal what you’ve figured out’? You’re making it difficult for me. It seems I can only…”
Yi Luo’s directness made Yinya somewhat embarrassed. It seemed this kid couldn’t be left alone.
“No, please, Senior, I was wrong.” Yi Luo suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly apologized.
“Alright, enough fooling around. I have important matters to discuss with you.”
Yinya stopped joking around. This time, she had come to Yi Luo with serious business.
“What important matter?”
Yi Luo didn’t know what was so urgent that the Senior would come looking for her at this moment.
“Do you remember the case of the children disappearing from the orphanage back then?” Yinya reminded.
“I do.” Although the case wasn’t very significant, it left a deep impression on Yi Luo.
“I need you to send me the list of missing persons.” Yinya stated her purpose.
“I understand.”
At this moment, Yi Luo also knew what Yinya wanted to do.
After a brief chat, Yi Luo hung up the phone. She tidied up her bed quickly and then got out of bed.
“Ah…”
Yi Luo couldn’t help but yawn. The Senior was really something. It seemed like there would be no rest today. Meeting such a Senior, she was really unlucky.
Yinya put down the phone. It seemed like today was Yi Luo’s day off, but she really needed the information urgently. As compensation, she would treat her to a meal another day.
