Chapter 476 Ultimate Notes 2 3
"Please wait a moment, the food will be served shortly." The waiter took the menu and left, closing the door behind him.
Wang An followed him out, saying he needed to use the restroom.
Only the two of them remained in the private room. Seeing that she didn't seem inclined to ask about the mission, Ah Ning had no choice but to speak up:
"How much do you know about tombs in China? We're going to the Tamutuo Desert to find the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West."
Shi Ying's fluffy curly hair was casually draped in front of her, the ends of which were lightly brushed by her fingers, which were painted with red nail polish, giving her a languid and alluring expression.
She doesn't look like a professionally trained mercenary at all.
She parted her red lips slightly, still looking nonchalant: "I don't understand. I still need Sister Aning to take good care of me."
A Ning handed her a document: "All you have to do is follow orders and act carefully. Take a look at the personnel for this mission and the information we found about the Queen Mother of the West's Palace."
She wasn't worried about Shi Ying, but rather that she was unreliable.
Although A Ning is not as skilled as her, she is obviously more reliable than Shi Ying.
Shi Ying smiled and nodded, taking the documents: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
She casually flipped through the documents; the people in them were all familiar faces, and she had even been to the Queen Mother of the West's Palace once, so she didn't look at them too carefully.
After reading it, she casually put it aside, and Ah Ning couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any questions?"
"No, you're the team leader this time, I just need to follow along."
"Hmm." Ah Ning looked away. She had never been able to see through her, and she couldn't care less about her casual attitude.
When Wang An returned, the dishes were served, and the three of them began to eat. Shi Ying and A Ning would occasionally chat about things unrelated to the mission.
Wang An ate quietly with his head down, only speaking when mentioned, tactfully remaining a background figure.
After the meal, Shi Ying told Aning her address and arranged to pick her up the next day.
Wang An dropped her off at her place and then left.
Shi Ying walked into her temporary residence, a French-style villa. The company paid for the house she found, so she figured she might as well stay.
Although she owns other properties in China, she is temporarily staying here in order to avoid revealing her usual location.
She put her bag down at the door, went upstairs, took her bathrobe into the bathroom, and came out feeling refreshed despite being covered in steam.
She lifted her foot and walked towards the dressing room, her hand sliding over rows of clothes. Shi Ying finally picked out three sets suitable for the mission, along with disposable underwear, and put them into her backpack.
Everything else is in the space; Aning will prepare the equipment and food, so she doesn't need to be meticulous about everything.
She had to get up early tomorrow, so she only watched a little bit of the show before going to bed.

The next morning, Shi Ying struggled to get up. After breakfast, knowing that Aning was already on her way, she went upstairs to change her clothes.
In front of the mirror, Shi Ying tied her hair up in a high ponytail, put on sunglasses, pulled her windbreaker up to the highest point, and wore slim-fit jeans and Martin boots, covering herself up completely.
Finally, he slung his backpack over his shoulder, put his hands in his pockets, and walked downstairs at a leisurely pace.
As soon as she opened the gate and stepped out, an SUV pulled up in front of her. Aning rolled down the window and said, "Get in, we still need to pick up other people."
"It's such an honor that Sister Aning is personally driving for me," Shi Ying said as she got into the passenger seat, not forgetting to make a flirtatious remark.
"Or you can drive it?"
He remained unfazed when confronted, readily offering his reason for refusal: "My driving skills are not up to par; they are not as good as those of experienced drivers."
Ah Ning remained silent, not believing her words: "They're taking turns driving, and the journey will take a long time."
Shi Ying didn't refute it. She felt that the bright sun outside was a bit dazzling, but luckily she was wearing sunglasses.
After driving for about twenty minutes, Ah Ning stopped the car on the side of the road. Shi Ying opened her eyes slightly behind her sunglasses and looked at the two people standing by the roadside.
Both were dressed in black; one wore sunglasses and had a playful smile on his lips. Ah Ning glanced back at the woman beside him and thought the two looked somewhat alike.
The other person was wearing a hoodie, with a hat on, and lowered eyes. He had a cool and aloof demeanor and looked lonely.
Aning opened the car window and said to the two of them, "Get in the car."
The two opened the car door and got in one after the other. The man wearing sunglasses smiled and said, "Boss Aning, I didn't expect you to personally drive to pick us up. It's an honor."
Hearing this, Ah Ning felt that it sounded familiar. She turned her head to look at the person in the passenger seat. Wasn't this what Shi Ying had just said?
Shi Ying also thought of this, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.
Ah Ning: "You don't need to call me boss. I just work for our boss."
"Alright, Miss Aning." Hei Xiazi still had that same smiling face.
Then, Hei Xiazi shifted his gaze to Shi Ying and asked, "Is this beautiful lady coming with us too?"
Shi Ying was sitting behind Zhang Qiling, and diagonally behind her was Hei Xiazi, so he could clearly see her profile.
Even with sunglasses on, you could tell she was a beauty from her high nose and beautiful lips.
Of course, Aning is also a beautiful woman, but the two are not the same style.
Hei Xiazi observed Shi Ying so carefully not because he was lustful, but because he felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses, wondering if he had seen this person before.
Upon hearing Hei Xiazi's words, A Ning introduced, "She is our deputy leader for this mission, Shi Ying."
He hadn't heard the name before, and Hei Xiazi was even more curious as to why it felt familiar: "So it's Miss Shi. Let me introduce myself. My name is Hei Xiazi, or you can call me Master Hei."
Shi Ying turned to look at his outstretched hand, casually extended her own right hand, and shook it: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Hei."
Hearing her address, Black Bear grinned and said, "Miss Shi is quite an interesting beauty."
"Thank you for the compliment, I think so too," Shi Ying replied shamelessly.
Ah Ning couldn't help but glance at the two of them again. Hei Xiazi then introduced the person next to him: "This is Zhang the Mute. He doesn't like to talk. You can just call him Brother."
When Zhang Qiling heard himself mentioned, he raised his eyes slightly but didn't say anything.
Ah Ning simply nodded, while Shi Ying curled the corners of his lips and asked, "Brother...brother?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling glanced at her retreating figure before looking away.
Hearing this, Hei Xiazi's lips curled up: "You want to call him 'little brother'? That's fine too, you won't mind, will you, mute?"
Zhang, a centenarian who is mute, was teased by a young girl who called him "little brother," and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
Zhang Qiling glanced at him indifferently, then looked away and continued to gaze blankly into space.

In this story, I originally wanted to write the female lead's romantic partner as Hei Xiazi, but I like Xiao Ge too much. Xiao Ge is also the female lead's ex-husband. Would you mind if I included both of them? Please reply quickly!!!
