Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 571 - 570: Going to the Punishment Room for Punishment

Chapter 571: Chapter 570: Going to the Punishment Room for Punishment

Chu Ye could only watch through his mask as Mianmian scanned the QR code to enter.

After Mianmian left, he lowered his eyes, nervously clutching the gun in his hand.

All the Dragon Group members who were deployed returned to the Duty Room they had been staying in, and before long, Chu Qi’s icy voice filled the room, "Chu Ye, do you realize your mistake?"

Chu Ye nodded silently, "I put down my gun without an order, I was wrong, team leader."

Hearing Chu Ye admit his mistake, Chu Qi’s expression softened a bit.

He had recently been involving Chu Ye in some of the things that Dragon Group members need to do, such as guarding the North City Library that conceals the secret history of Dragon Country.

The Dragon Group was founded by the Chu Family, and descendants of the Chu Family were so outstanding that they could directly assume the position of team leader. When it came to Chu Ye’s generation, Chu Qi also wanted his son to take over his position.

However, the position of team leader in the Dragon Group wasn’t something that could simply be passed on. An election had to be held within the group upon his retirement. Only someone who excelled in all areas during the election could inherit the position of team leader and gain the Dragon Badge that represented the leader of the Dragon Group.

In other words, if Chu Ye wasn’t outstanding enough, the future position of team leader might fall into the hands of someone more capable.

If letting Chu Ye inherit the position of team leader was just Chu Qi’s wishful thinking, he would not be so strict with his son. He would let his son do what he liked, and from then on, the Chu Family would no longer manage the Dragon Group.

But Chu Ye was opinionated and hoped to become the team leader himself, so Chu Qi couldn’t indulge Chu Ye’s mistakes!

"Chu Ye, you earned this task position on your own. Yet, you made a mistake during the mission. Go to the Punishment Room and receive your punishment."

The punishment in the Punishment Room was whipping.

Thinking about his son’s back becoming a blurred mess of flesh and blood, Chu Qi also felt reluctant.

But to ignore orders during a mission was to face such consequences, even he could not show favoritism.

"Team leader, Chu Ye is still young, isn’t sending him to the Punishment Room too harsh?"

Someone pleaded for Chu Ye.

Chu Ye, still young, didn’t use connections to join; he truly became one of their members through his own strength. Guarding the Library was the lowest level task, and while they watched over it, they also strove to improve their abilities, eager to participate in more frontline missions.

Now that Chu Ye, the youngest member, was about to be punished, everyone couldn’t bear it.

"If you make a mistake, you must be punished," said Chu Qi. "What if the person who showed up there today wasn’t the real Su Mianmian? Then the information in the Library would have been leaked, and Chu Ye himself could have been taken hostage by the enemy... The consequences are too severe, how can we be lenient just because he is young?"

"Go, Chu Ye."

Chu Ye nodded silently, not saying a word as he walked towards the Punishment Room.

Seeing Mianmian, and Mianmian also seeing him, he determined she was the real Mianmian and thus lowered his gun. While he did not want to point his gun at Mianmian, this action violated the group’s rules.

Receiving punishment was also inevitable.

Feeling the warm Fire Spirit Necklace against his chest, a gentle, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his youthful face.

He too hadn’t expected to run into Mianmian today, an unexpected joy.

Mianmian was unaware that Chu Ye was preparing to be punished, as she was astonished in the Library!

The content inside the Library was so comprehensive; even a book on the "Dark Sect’s Legacy" mentioned the ancestors of the Jiang Family!

Mianmian hadn’t forgotten that she should actually have the surname Jiang, so she read and reread the book. When she reached the generation of her grandparents, she frowned. It said that her grandparents died after suppressing a demon, but it didn’t specify which kind of demon, nor did it provide details.

"How strange."

Mianmian glanced at other families’ records and found that their timelines were detailed regarding when they appeared and when they ceased to exist as times changed. Yet, the account of her grandparents’ incident only contained a few sparse notes.

Uncle Black Tortoise came over to look at the book Mianmian was holding upon hearing her remark of it being strange.

"What’s strange?"

Mianmian pointed out the event of her grandparents: "Other families’ events have clear causes, locations, and ways of death. Why do my grandparents’ events only have so little written about them?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Black Tortoise looked and indeed found it to be the case.

"This only proves that there was something fishy about your grandparents’ death," he said.

Mianmian also suspected as much.

Only, this event had already passed for hundreds of years, belonging to the era of her Master Qing Xu. Qing Xu’s own master had long since passed away, making it difficult to investigate and gather evidence.

Mianmian considered whether or not to ask Qing Xu about it. She then returned the book back to its place and turned to see what Black Tortoise and Yang Xian were reading.

Black Tortoise was reading history, while Yang Xian was looking at some mythological records.

Mianmian bustled about, and in the end, picked up a book on contemporary secret plans to read.

The secret plans contained a lot of technological aspects. After flipping through a few pages and feeling she couldn’t understand, she switched to reading something else.

The Library was so big, and there were only a few of them there.

While reading, she didn’t notice how time flew by, and before long it was evening.

Mianmian’s mobile phone suddenly rang. She answered the call and learned it was time to go home for dinner.

The call was from Su Chenzhou, who, sitting at home, could see what everyone in the Library was doing and also knew which books they had read that day.

He knew reading took time and had not intended to disturb them.

But as his parents hadn’t seen Little Auntie come home, they urged him to call Little Auntie back, so he had no choice.

After the call, Su Chenzhou manipulated the surveillance system and saw the scene in another room.

In this room sat a gentle-looking man drinking tea. While drinking, he also watched the big screen in front of him.

On the screen was the sight of Mianmian and the others reading.

Typing on the screen, Su Chenzhou asked, "Won’t you go out to receive them?"

The man smiled slightly, "No, I’m fine just watching from here."

The man was the hidden Manager of the Library and also the Curator of the North City Library. His family had been guarding the North City Library for generations, and many of the books inside were compiled by his family members.

The man himself had no desire to venture out, and Su Chenzhou could not compel him.

Not paying any more attention to the man, Chenzhou switched the surveillance screen back to Little Auntie.

While Su Chenzhou was not watching the man, the man put down his teacup and leaned back on the sofa, softly caressing it.

His eyes lingered on Black Tortoise, his lips curled in a resigned smile.

At this moment, Black Tortoise had finished reading all he was interested in and started to move around the Library, examining this and that.

While looking around, he said to Mianmian, "You guys keep reading for a while here. I’ll be back in a bit."

Mianmian was just saying "okay" when Black Tortoise disappeared.

Mianmian’s words were stuck in her throat; she pursed her lips helplessly.

Such a great Uncle Black Tortoise, and she had no idea where he had suddenly teleported off to using magic. But since Black Tortoise didn’t want to tell, she decided to hold back her curiosity and act as if nothing had happened.
