Yun Su followed Tang Zhifan into the meeting room.
The room was not large, but it was fully equipped and used exclusively by their team. At the moment, only the two of them were there.
Sitting across from each other, Tang Zhifan went straight to the point.
“Yun Su, you may need to carry out another mission.”
Oh, a mission.
Yun Su had expected this. After taking it easy for so long, being called in by her team leader could only mean one thing, work.
“Of course, team leader, just assign it,” she said, idly playing with a pen on the table. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally asked, “But… can I still find out what happened in the world from my last mission?”
“I mean, what happened there after I left?”
She still thought about Gu Yan. After spending so much time together, it was impossible not to have feelings.
During the past half month since her return, she had occasionally wondered how he was doing. Has he grown a little taller? Did he still cry as much as before?
She had personally changed the course of his life, and she wanted to know whether she had brought him something good.
But she had no way of finding out.
She hadn’t deliberately asked around these past days, but now she couldn’t help asking Tang Zhifan, who would at least know something about that world.
Tang Zhifan showed no surprise at her question and answered in a steady tone.
“There’s been a situation over there.”
A situation? Has something happened to Gu Yan?
Yun Su’s eyes widened slightly.
“What happened?” she asked quickly.
“It’s not anything major, just something that needs you to go back and handle,” Tang Zhifan replied calmly.
His composure made Yun Su restless. “Team leader, can you get to the point?”
If something had happened, big or small, it was still a problem.
Tang Zhifan looked puzzled. “Why are you in such a hurry?”
Yun Su was speechless. “Team leader, if there’s an issue with the mission, shouldn’t you be more anxious than me? Can you be a bit more responsible and just get to the point?”
Looking at the young lady in front of him, Tang Zhifan decided it was best not to offend her and finally got to the point.
“In the world you went to, the probability of the villain turning dark has already been greatly reduced. However, based on his current life trajectory, it’s unlikely that he will ever intersect with the protagonist. A key supporting character can’t possibly have no connection with the protagonist.”
This was something Yun Su hadn’t expected, but at least it meant Gu Yan wasn’t in danger.
“So?”
“So, we need to guide the supporting character into interacting with the protagonist, while also ensuring he doesn’t turn dark.”
Tang Zhifan explained her mission concisely.
“So you’ll need to go back there again,” he added, observing her expression. “Of course, if you don’t want to go, I can assign someone else. But since you’re familiar with that world, I left the task for you.”
“I’ll go, of course I’ll go.”
It was exactly the kind of task she wanted.
If she had been asked to take on a completely new mission immediately, she might have resisted. But going back to the same world was something she couldn’t ask for more.
Seeing her agree, Tang Zhifan also relaxed.
This mission was relatively simple and low-risk, and he had been strictly following the director’s instructions to take good care of Yun Su.
“Alright. Since you’ve agreed, make your preparations. You’ll start tomorrow,” Tang Zhifan said before leaving the meeting room.
For Yun Su, preparation simply meant informing her grandparents, so she went straight home after leaving the meeting room.
Although Yun Qingsong was the director, he had already delegated most of his responsibilities and now only attended major decision-making meetings. The rest of his time was spent at home, enjoying retirement while accompanying his wife.
After Yun Su told them about her mission the next day, both of them expressed their support.
Instead, it was Yun Su who couldn’t stop worrying about them, repeatedly reminding them of various things.
“This time, you must go to the bureau and wear the bracelet. Otherwise, like last time, I won’t be able to contact you, and I’ll only hear about anything that happens from others,” Yun Su said, still shaken by the previous incident.
The bracelet was a special device developed by the transmigration bureau for communication across different time and spaces. Non-staff members were not allowed to wear it.
Since Yun Qingsong was no longer actively involved in such work, he hadn’t worn one for a long time, which was why Yun Su hadn’t been able to contact them last time.
Yun Qingsong reassured her, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll have someone deliver it shortly.”
“Call them now,” Yun Su urged.
“Alright, alright,” Yun Qingsong said, immediately picking up his phone and calling his assistant.
Only after the bracelet was delivered and Yun Su personally watched Yun Qingsong activate it did she finally feel at ease.
Early the next morning.
Yun Su arrived at the bureau and followed Tang Zhifan into the meeting room.
“There’s something I need to tell you,” Tang Zhifan said as he handed her a bracelet.
Yun Su put it on. “What is it?”
“This time, when you go over, you won’t know the exact time point in advance. Although time flows synchronously between the two worlds, we cannot control or determine the exact moment you’ll arrive.”
The time point was uncertain?
Yun Su felt confused.
What would that mean?
Seeing her expression, Tang Zhifan explained, “In other words, you’ll only know your target’s identity and age after you arrive, but it will definitely be after the time when you last left.”
It took Yun Su a while to process this information.
She had thought only half a month had passed and that she might even be able to see Gu Yan start elementary school.
“I understand,” she said, her tone heavy.
She had no choice but to accept it, though she couldn’t help wondering how old Gu Yan would be when she saw him again.
Tang Zhifan continued giving instructions.
“Also, the male protagonist of that world is Fu Liangze, Gu Yan’s half-brother from the same father. The female protagonist is Kang Wan, who grew up with him as childhood companions.”
“As for more details, you’ll have to find out yourself. The future plot will be influenced by you, and once you go there, everything will be unknown, even to me.”
“When you arrive, the system will generate a new identity for you based on the time point. This time, you will no longer be Yun Su.”
“Be careful in everything you do, and make sure to protect the bracelet.”
Yun Su listened carefully, committing every word to memory.
“I understand everything.”
She answered solemnly.
Tang Zhifan nodded. “Good! If you’re ready, begin the operation.”
Yun Su lowered her head and activated the bracelet. A large holographic blue screen appeared in the air.
She was about to see Gu Yan again, and a wave of excitement rose within her.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she operated the interface.
Taking a steady breath, she calmed herself and carefully pressed the “start” button.
A flash of blue light filled her vision.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Su had disappeared from the meeting room.
