Irene’s Past

Yu Wuyuan nodded. “I know.”

Chile was a country close to the South Pole. It was very small and had a special geographical location. Snow covered over two-thirds of its land in snow. It was a beautiful but sparsely populated country.

Irene continued, “I’m a Westerner. My natural hair color is gold and brown. I used to have golden hair.”

Without waiting for Yu Wuyuan to ask, Irene took the initiative to say, “My ability is a type of inheritance. In your Chinese language, it’s called genetics!”

When Yu Wuyuan heard this, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Then, he asked, “You mean your parents are ability users too?”

“Yes,” Irene said calmly. “At first, I didn’t know that I had inherited my parents’ special power. However, because my parents had extraordinary power, a secret agency in Chile captured them and never returned.”

“When I was young, people often said that my parents had adopted me because my parents had white hair. I was the only one with golden hair.”

“The reason they did not capture me was probably that they thought I had no special abilities because of my different hair color. They also saw that I was just a seven-year-old child, so they let me off.”

Yu Wuyuan listened quietly, and his expression gradually darkened.

Irene seemed to have fallen into her memories. She looked at the stars outside the window and said in a natural tone, “There was no special opportunity for my ability to awaken. One morning, I realized that my hair had changed color, becoming the same color as my parents’. Then I imitated Mom’s actions back then and tried to wave my hand. Mirrors appeared out of thin air in front of me.”

“To a certain extent, I’m considered talented! Leader Hans said that my strength is not without reason. The power in my body is naturally thicker than ordinary ability users.”

“Didn’t you look for your parents?” Yu Wuyuan asked subconsciously.

“I have,” Irene answered. “And I’ve been looking for them for many years, but I found nothing. I think they’ve either been transferred to another country with more advanced equipment, or they’re already dead.”

At this point, Irene suddenly chuckled. The slightly melancholic mood from before seemed to have dissipated. She retracted her mind and looked at Yu Wuyuan. “I rarely mention this past to anyone. It can be said that very few people will calm down and listen to me! Although Andrew and the rest are also ability users, fortunately, they look no different from ordinary people on the surface. They can approach the people they want to approach freely.”

“As for me… Everyone who sees me keeps a distance from me. They think I’m a monster.”

Irene spoke calmly, but Yu Wuyuan frowned slightly. He was not good with words, so he did not know how to comfort Irene.

As if seeing Yu Wuyuan’s embarrassment, Irene smiled again and said, “You don’t have to comfort me because I’m not sad about this.”

“I can tell that your heart is as powerful as your strength,” Yu Wuyuan said.

Irene sighed softly. “I thought so too in the past until I met you. I think I should redefine the word powerful.”

At this moment, Chi Lian suddenly walked forward and interrupted with a smile. “Don’t treat him as a powerful threshold because, in this case, powerful people in the world are probably rare.”

Irene looked over and saw that Chi Lian’s long red hair was as passionate as fire. She reached out to Irene and raised her eyebrows. “Hi, I’m Chi Lian!”

“I remember you!” Irene reached out to shake Chi Lian’s hand and said, “You’re also a powerful person!”

Irene was not stingy with her praise. “Your abilities are lethal, and your destructive power is even more shocking. Moreover, your forms are varied. It’s the most gorgeous move I’ve ever seen.”

Faced with Irene’s unconcealed praise, Chi Lian couldn’t help but purse her lips and chuckle. Then, she said, “If you admit my strength, you shouldn’t underestimate your own strength. Because the two of us know very well that our strength should be about the same.”

“That’s true.” Irene nodded in agreement.

Chi Lian immediately curled her red lips and smiled charmingly. She flung her long hair and walked towards the living room. “I have no intention of disturbing your conversation. Let’s eat!”

When Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian heard this, they couldn’t help but look at each other and smile. Then, they walked towards the dining table.

…

Two days later, the Jian Group received shocking news. The project director, Han Wenjing, had a car accident when she was on a business trip in the capital!

The company was in an uproar. With Han Wenjing’s influence in the Jian Group, everyone had a complicated attitude toward this news. People from the various departments were discussing it behind her back.

Employee A: “Oh my, is that true? A car accident? Is it serious?”

Employee B: “It must be very serious for this news to spread. Otherwise, with Director Han’s personality, she wouldn’t have shared such a thing, okay?”

Employee C: “Where is she? Is she in the capital, or has she already returned to Baiyun?”

Employee B: “I don’t know. It’s mainly because no one knows if she’s dead or alive now. We don’t dare to ask.”

Employee A: “Ah? Did she die?”

Employee D: “Shh! Don’t say such things at a time like this. If Director Han comes back safely and finds out about this, you’ll suffer!”

Employee C: “Besides, even if Director Han is usually cold to us, she’s still a living person. Let’s hope she’s safe!”

All the employees nodded in agreement. No matter what, it was a life. Moreover, Han Wenjing was famous for being serious about her job, so it was understandable that she was strict with her subordinates.

A car accident could be big or small. They hoped she could come back safely.

Jian Changsheng had already learned of this from his business partner after the incident. He immediately booked a flight to the capital in the afternoon.

He was nervous and sad, and there was even a trace of self-reproach that could not be hidden. This was because Han Wenjing went to the capital for a business trip. If it was an irreversible situation, he, who had instructed Han Wenjing to go on a business trip, was the person directly responsible for this matter.

After quickly settling his work in the company, Jian Changsheng left the company and went home.

“Husband?” Qiao Shuyi couldn’t help but go forward in surprise when she saw Jian Changsheng. “Why are you back at this time? Did you forget something?”

Jian Changsheng’s expression was ugly. Qiao Shuyi usually cared about him the most, so she could tell that he was abnormal at a glance. She didn’t dare to say anything and just followed him upstairs.

“Wife, I have to go to the capital in the afternoon.” After returning to the bedroom, Jian Changsheng gradually calmed down. He knew that this matter couldn’t affect his relationship with his wife, so he said to Qiao Shuyi after calming down.
