Chapter 111 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

"Xiao Ya, could you pour me a cup of coffee, please?" Nan Yin, seated in her office at the Anbrella International Headquarters, lazily called out to the outside as she perused through some documents. Immediately, a graceful woman in a black and white work dress responded and left. Moments later, she respectfully placed a cup of coffee in front of Nan Yin. "Boss, as usual, less sugar and more milk. Is there anything else you need?" Xiao Ya flashed a standard smile and inquired. Nan Yin gestured to decline, then took a sip of the coffee and frowned slightly. "I have to say, I'm still not used to drinking coffee. No matter how it's made, it's never to my liking. I'd rather have tea," Nan Yin remarked, raising an eyebrow. Xiao Ya astutely interjected, "Yesterday, the office received a new batch of black tea. Shall I get that for you instead?" After some consideration, Nan Yin declined Xiao Ya's offer and, despite the discomfort, slowly finished the coffee. After all, compared to the less authentic black tea in this world, coffee could better keep her sharp. As she watched Xiao Ya leave with the empty cup, Nan Yin leaned back and closed her eyes to rest. Since sending Jiang Mi and Xia Yiyi to the psychic ability test center, Nan Yin had become increasingly busy. She needed someone to help attend to mundane tasks, and Xiao Ya was the secretary she had found. Ten days had passed since Jiang Mi and Xia Yiyi entered the test center, and their absence indicated their non-elimination. Nan Yin had expected this. She didn't know about Jiang Mi, but in the original story, Xia Yiyi possessed remarkable psychic talents. If any psychic academy eliminated her, it would only reflect poorly on their discernment. Today, Nan Yin found herself missing Jiang Mi and Xia Yiyi. After all, they were not only friends but also potential romantic partners she had spent a lot of time with. As she rested, a plan suddenly formed in Nan Yin's mind. She seemed to have a way to sneak into the test center secretly. At that moment, the terminal next to her lit up, and it was a call from the human resources department. The department head explained that her secretary, Xiao Ya, had suddenly resigned due to a family member's passing, and she needed to attend to matters at home. Nan Yin was momentarily taken aback by the news, wondering why her secretary hadn't informed her directly. However, she didn't dwell on it and didn't intervene. She simply nodded to indicate her understanding. However, now she had to pour her own coffee today. In the surveillance footage at Anbrella International's headquarters, Xiao Ya appeared to leave with her personal belongings, looking visibly saddened as she got into a car. This caught the attention of Fube Zhengsi, who had just learned of the situation on the monitor, and he felt a tinge of sadness. After all, he had spent nearly half a month with Xiao Ya. Unbeknownst to Fube Zhengsi, as soon as "Xiao Ya" got into the car, the previously grief-stricken expression vanished. It was clear that her earlier sorrow over the death of her family member was entirely an act. After getting in the car, "Xiao Ya" immediately reached for her neck and, after a moment, peeled off a piece of skin, revealing a European-looking woman with golden hair underneath. At the same time, the woman driving turned around with bright, expectant eyes. Her burgundy-colored gaze was filled with anticipation. "Sha Lang, Sha Lang! What do you think? Do you know who that girl is now?" Sha Lang, one of her few close confidants within the organization, looked at her with a gentle smile. "I've found out. But this girl's background is not as complex as you might have thought. She has no connection to you." Seeing her beloved confidant's visibly crestfallen expression, Sha Lang quickly reassured her, "But I have to admit, you two really look alike. Like two peas in a pod!" Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of the woman, Bai Xi. "Really? When I first saw her, I thought the same. If I hadn't known, I would have thought I had a daughter once." Sha Lang chuckled and shook her head. "Alright, alright. Don't dwell on it. I've already performed a DNA test on this girl, Nan Yin. She's definitely not your child." "Alright, alright. Focus on driving. When we get back, I'll treat you to a good meal! You can't refuse!" Bai Xi appeared carefree, her earlier desolation nowhere to be found as she sat there smiling. "I won't refuse. How about I make you a cherry cake? I'll personally bake it," she added. As Sha Lang observed her carefree confidant, she couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort. In the organization, someone as pure and lovely as Bai Xi was rare. She would never refuse anyone and actively cared for everyone. She was like an angel in the organization, living up to her code name, Purple Angel. It was because of this nature that Bai Xi was often kept out of many things in the organization. For instance, Sha Lang's infiltration into Anbrella International was actually a directive from the higher-ups, not some "silly" parentage verification to assist her friend. The Wolf had a keen interest in Anbrella International because it was a weapon company capable of producing the core intelligent weapons for the Dragon Dry Consortium. Most importantly, it was a newly established company without a strong foundation, making it easily controllable. So, they sent Sha Lang, who excelled in disguises, to scout the place first. As for the DNA verification that Bai Xi mentioned, Sha Lang had not performed it. She even forced herself not to dwell on the matter. All this was because the higher-up had known about all of Bai Xi's intentions before this operation commenced. They issued a stern command, ordering Sha Lang not to engage in any of Bai Xi's affairs, including the DNA test task, as it was evidently related to Bai Xi's lineage. As for Bai Xi's lineage, Sha Lang, much like most members of the Wolf, had no precise knowledge. Perhaps only Gin, who was deemed an absolute confidant by the higher-up, had some inkling. To most in the organization, Bai Xi was brought back to the Wolf by Gin ten years ago and had since been responsible for all medical work. She had become a legend within the Wolf because any injury could supposedly heal completely under her psychic treatment within a minute. However, as one of the Wolf's higher-ups and a semi-confidant, Sha Lang knew that not only was this rumor true, but it had also intentionally diminished the effectiveness of Bai Xi's abilities. Because Sha Lang had witnessed with her own eyes a person whose limbs and head were severed. Under Bai Xi's treatment, the severed limbs regrew within an hour, and even the decapitated head was reattached rapidly by new cell tissues. That person had been resurrected completely. Following Sha Lang's proddings, the higher-up eventually divulged a somewhat inconsequential piece of information about Bai Xi – the current chairman of Anbrella International, who looked like a carved copy of Bai Xi, was indeed her biological daughter. Sha Lang had barely spent half a month at Anbrella due to Bai Xi's request for this trivial matter, much to her dismay. To Bai Xi, with her naive demeanor, it was all oblivious to her.
