Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

two hours ago

On the lake on the west side of Hai Zhijia, Ye Jiao is reading various news this morning. This is a habit she has formed since she was very young. This is also influenced by her father, although it is just a candy store. boss, but Ye Jiao’s father would always tell her that there is no harm in knowing more about things.

Ye Jiao planned to leave after lunch, but at this moment, Ye Jiao's mind was focused on the company declarations issued by a large number of businessmen who claimed to respond to the business call and planned to invest at the bottom.

"The section chief should restrict the flow of funds. If things go wrong, the bottom level will be monopolized by capital again."

If a large amount of capital is injected into the bottom layer, it will definitely affect the upcoming huge proposals, which is something Ye Jiao does not want to see.

The extended wooden floor above the water made a sound. Ye Jiao glanced back and saw that it was Jean walking over. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but she immediately returned to her usual cold expression.

"If you want to laugh, show it with joy."

Ye Jiao pursed her lips and shook her head. Gene squatted beside Ye Jiao and looked at the flowing lake.

"Mr. Jean, you plan to go to the mutant examination venue next!"

Gene smiled and nodded.

"You really know."

"After all, whether it's the business exam or the mutant exam, Mr. Jean, you will take it every year."

Gene took out a cigarette, lit it and asked.

"What's your next plan?"

"I plan to exercise well after I get home. I still have more than three days to go on vacation, so I should be able to do it."

Gene nodded and blew out a puff of smoke. The smoke slid gently towards the lake, then rose up after colliding with the lake.

"How about going to the ground floor and taking a look?"

"Does it make sense? Mr. Jean."

Gene stood up and put his hand on Ye Jiao's forehead. Ye Jiao was a little panicked, but quickly lowered her head.

"It's too rigid. Take my word for it and just go to the ground floor and have a look."

Ye Jiao curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

"It's like this every time. You've always said this since I was a child. It was the same when I took the exam. You said let me give it a try. I believe what you say."

Gene laughed loudly, squatted in front of Ye Jiao, and looked at her seriously. Ye Jiao's eyes also became serious.

"I'm sorry about your father!"

"My father didn't commit a crime, he was just the scapegoat, that McCullin"

Gene nodded.

"These things have passed, Jiaojiao, follow my advice and go to the bottom floor to take a look. Maybe you will think of something else, much more than what is conveyed in the document."

Looking at Jean who stood up and turned around to leave, Ye Jiao stood up.

"Are you like this to everyone, Mr. Jean!"

"That's all true. After all, I have obligations and responsibilities to watch you kids grow up."

Ye Jiao opened her mouth slightly and stuck out a little tongue, but immediately retracted it. Looking at Jean's turned head, she blushed in embarrassment and tilted her head.

"You can also visit the secretary of our department when you have time. Remember Jiaojiao, you are you and nothing else. There is no need to have any psychological burden. Sometimes you should just let go and do it."

After entering the living room, Gene went directly to the second floor and knocked on the door of Letty's room.

Letty casually approved a towel, and when she saw it was Jean, she turned around and entered the room without paying attention.

"Butt exposed!"

Jean said teasingly, and Letty turned around and threw a cigarette to Jean.

"If it were anyone else, I would blow his head off on the spot. As for what you say, Mr. Jean, it doesn't matter. Anyway, in your eyes, we will always be just children. We will not be attractive to you at all. You have always been like this. It’s really too much.”

After Gene caught the cigarette, Letty went to the cubicle and put on a waistcoat and sports shorts, and walked over barefoot.

"Sorry, it's really rude in front of a beautiful lady like you."

Jean put his hands in front of him and bowed, and Letty slapped him in the face.

Snapped

Two hands made violent noises in the air.

"Stop it."

Letty asked after sitting down.

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."

"What are your plans next?"

Letty approached Jean with a half-smile.

"How did you figure out why you wanted to date me?"

"How about going to the ground floor and taking a look?"

Letty chuckled and shook her head.

"Too lazy to go."

"That's right! But both ladies will go there. Even though it's a rare holiday, I think it's better to go and have a look in advance."

Letty's face turned serious.

"I'm really impressed by you, Mr. Jean, are you so anxious?"

Gene nodded.

"It's not that I'm anxious, but this time it will be different from the past. In the past, the wind might occasionally blow to the bottom layer, but it would just drift by, and eventually it would come back to the upper layer, because there was no force that could catch the wind, and the bottom layer had already It’s been too hot for too long!”

"I know, I'll go after lunch later, but don't have too much expectations for me, Mr. Jean, I won't have the same pity as that idiot just because I witnessed some bad things. , it’s not that I have such a bad attitude, but I always feel that this thing is like a double-edged sword, that’s why the law exists!”

Gene nodded, turned around and walked away.

"Are you planning to go to the mutant examination venue?"

Gene didn't answer, opened the door and walked out. Letty exhaled a puff of smoke helplessly.

"If you are really worried, just go and see for yourself. It's true, it's been like this since I was a child. It's not serious at all!"

12:15

Niya was panting and wiping her sweat, looking at the venue that had been mostly set up.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, rest for an hour and let me finish the work quickly. If you can't finish it before the sun goes down today, you don't need to eat."

Niya said, and a bunch of hot and tired members of Section 5 nodded. At this time, Niya just turned around and saw Jean standing next to the guard box, carrying his uniform jacket, looking at her with a smile.

"Have a meal together?"

The coat was thrown over, and Niya caught it with one hand and put it directly on her body.

"You bastard, don't give me anything to do."

Gene smiled and walked quickly out of the hall side by side with Niya. He had made a reservation in advance and ordered the dishes.

Ten minutes later, the two of them sat in a private room on the third floor of a restaurant and started eating.

"You really treat me like a loser, you bastard Jean. Tell me, what the hell is that? Don't you claim that you are on vacation?"

"I'm here to trouble you to issue an order."

Jean said that Niya had already guessed it, so she took out her phone, edited a command and showed it to Jean.

Please assist all regional section officers in the work of Section 13 Secretary Le Xiao in the coming days.

"Is it okay?"

Gene nodded, Niya leaned back with a smile, crossed her legs and leaned on the sofa, resting her chin on her hands and staring at Gene.

"You really dare to do it, can that stupid girl hold her head up?"

"Isn't there you?"

Niya took a sip of wine.

“Often the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.”

Nia said and Gene nodded, knowing what she wanted to say.

"My sister is an example."

"Before I go out, I will find a time to have a good chat with her."

Niya's eyes widened and she got up.

"Really or not, I guess if you don't release your power, you will be beaten to pieces. My sister is completely different now from before, but she is still the same as before inside. She is just a little girl. When does it start? Remember to inform me Me, I want to take a good look."

Jean hummed, looked at Nia and said.

"I have never been disappointed, and the same goes for Alpha, including you and Tianhen, no matter what you have done, no matter where you are."

"Don't say such disgusting things, bastard Gene."

Niya said as she picked up the wine bottle, drank the wine in a gulp, and stuffed some vegetables into her mouth, ate them hungrily and walked to the door.

"I will help you deal with this big thing, so you can go with peace of mind."

"Sorry, Nya!"

Nia looked back with a smile.

"Don't say such disgusting things, it sounds so uncomfortable!"

Jean quietly looked at the food on the table and saw that there were not many dishes left. He came to the window alone with a wine glass. There had been many times like this with friends in his mind, but those friends had all turned into withered bones. , as the cornerstone of the city, fell asleep forever, Jean put down his wine glass.

"Ellie! It's just like what you said. As long as I still believe that I can change, hope will come, no matter what era!"

The light shone in a bit dazzlingly, and Jean covered his forehead with his hands for a moment, feeling a little strange. The light that suddenly became stronger was a little unbelievable.

"Thank you, really thank you, sister Yincai."

Feili was crying, Yincai smiled and nodded, comforting her. Ye Jiao and Leti had left, only Yincai was still waiting here, and sure enough Feili came over.

"Where are you going next? Do you want to continue?"

"No, I want to go back to where I started."

Yincai said while carrying a small white bag and patted Feili on the shoulder.

"You have to work hard, everything will be fine!"

At this time, at the door, Ye Jiao and Leti caused some commotion as soon as they went out. The two walked quickly, and Leti picked up the cell phone that rang again.

"I'm not a child anymore. It's my freedom where I want to go."

"Letty, where do you want to go if you don't go home? At least you have to tell me."

The somewhat angry voice of his father Pullman came over the phone.

Looking at Ye Jiao who was speeding up her pace, Letty said directly.

"I'm going to the bottom floor."

The two quickly walked into the entrance of the subway station. At this time, they saw a parked train dedicated to members of Congress, and they walked over together.

"It's a surprise that you would go to the bottom floor!"

Leti said, Ye Jiao stared at her sideways, and had already set the destination to be Area 118.

"That's what I want to say."

However, the two of them still did not start the train, as if they were waiting for something. After more than 10 minutes, Yincai stepped into the train, and immediately felt some solemn air in the carriage.

"You want to go to the bottom?"

After taking a look at the regional station numbers that had been set, Yincai looked at the two of them doubtfully, but she immediately laughed.

"Then let's go together."

The train started slowly, getting faster and faster. Yincai glanced back at the two of them and closed their eyes. Although the place she wanted to go was District 101, it would be good to go to District 118 first.
