Chapter 979: They’re All Mutants?
Editor: Henyee Translations
In the end, Su Ying’er was blacklisted by China’s largest telecommunications operator, Dream Seeking Technology, due to her frequent number changes and cancellations. She was barred from registering a new number for five years.
This time, Su Ying’er had no choice but to stop harassing Feng Jue.
Despite resolving her personal vendettas, seeing Gu Yang still made Su Ying’er scowl. She remarked sarcastically, “Young Master Xiao, you really dote on your sister and girlfriend. You’ve even brought them to a place like this.”
The Mutant Department was restricted to Mutants only, and no outsiders were permitted.
Feng Xiaoxiao’s eyes shifted as she heard Su Ying’er’s comment.
Her position in the Mutant Department was quite significant—she was the deputy minister, with only Xiao Yize above her. The Feng and Xiao families were not on good terms, and if Xiao Yize used his position to bring ordinary people into the Mutant Department, it would be seen as favoritism, potentially damaging his reputation with the elders. This would, in turn, benefit her in the upcoming elections.
Xiao Yize responded coldly, “Miss Su, be cautious with your words. I didn’t bring my girlfriend and sister here for a visit, but to assess their level of Mutant abilities.”
“Oh? What a coincidence. They’re all Mutants?” Su Ying’er was skeptical.
Mutants were rare. As the only direct descendant in her family, Su Ying’er was valued despite her lack of exceptional qualities. Among the three direct heirs of the Xiao family, only Xiao Yize was a Mutant. Gu Yang appeared soft and unassuming, not someone she would associate with being a Mutant.
As for Gu Jin, the Gu family had not produced a Mutant in the past three generations.
Like Su Ying’er, Feng Xiaoxiao also doubted Xiao Yize’s claim. However, she preferred not to confront him directly and instead gave Su Ying’er a subtle signal.
Understanding the cue, Su Ying’er took Feng Xiaoxiao’s arm and suggested, “It’s been a while since anyone from the Mutant Department entered the evaluation room. Sister Xiaoxiao, since we don’t have anything urgent, why don’t we go take a look? We can also see what kind of talent Young Master Xiao has brought to our department.”
Feng Xiaoxiao gave a cold nod and turned to Xiao Yize. “Young Master Xiao, you don’t mind if we observe, do you?”
Xiao Yize frowned. “Yangyang and Xiaojin are here for strength testing, not to join the department.”
The Mutant Department’s evaluation room was open to all Mutants, not just department members. Anyone seeking to join the department needed to undergo strength testing to determine if they were Class C or above.
However, Su Ying’er and Feng Xiaoxiao perceived Xiao Yize’s explanation as a sign of guilt. Feng Xiaoxiao even suspected that Xiao Yize was using the testing as an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for bringing ordinary people into the department.
After all, if Gu Jin and Gu Yang did not join the department but went to the evaluation room, it remained unclear whether they were Mutants.
Feng Xiaoxiao asked, “Young Master Xiao, are you afraid?”
Xiao Yize looked at Gu Yang and Gu Jin. “Miss Feng, this isn’t about whether I’m afraid or not. It’s about respecting the privacy of my girlfriend and sister. You need their approval before you can observe.”
Su Ying’er then directly provoked them, “Xiao Yang, Gu Jin, are you daring enough to let us watch?”
Gu Yang responded, “Since you’ve put it that way, if we refuse, it will seem like my brother is intentionally breaking the rules. If you really want to see, you should first apologize to my brother.”
