Chapter 1214: Chapter 1211: I’ll Protect You
Just like Bi Xia said, her recent distraction was simply to enjoy the calm before the storm. To be honest, before coming to Yan City, Bi Xia expected to confront Yu Du, but she didn’t think it would happen so... hurriedly.
But this is also good. Bi Xia tapped her leg with one hand, her sunglasses masking her indifferent starry eyes, saving herself the trouble of finding a reason to deal with Yu Du.
Thinking about it, Bi Xia snorted. She suddenly remembered what Chu Wu had said earlier: in this game of power struggles, is there really any reason involved? If there is one, it could only be one—profit.
Initially, it was indeed for profit that Bi Xia took an interest in Yu Du’s cache of arms, but now... Her red lips curled faintly as new grudges compounded with old ones, and the mysterious organization behind it, Bi Xia intended to clean them out completely.
Suddenly recalling the phrase "I finally found you" that had invaded her space earlier, Bi Xia laughed coldly, "Screw you, trying to scare me? Someday, I’ll take down your den!"
"Let’s go," Bi Xia said indifferently, lifting her hand to push her sunglasses back up her nose, her baseball cap worn correctly. "Let’s head down."
Just in the car, Bi Xia received the specific information about this orphanage from 007.
It was just as she had speculated; this orphanage was indeed purchased under Li Tian’s name by Yu Tian, and as for the already deceased Li Tian, it was also Yu Tian’s doing. As for the purpose of this orphanage... Her starry eyes flashed with cold light. Thinking of those children in the secret room on the first underground level of Dragon Ao, it must be a base for child trafficking!
"Be careful," Ji Qiutang pushed open the orphanage door, his movements slightly pausing, standing beside Bi Xia with a vigilant expression. "It’s unnaturally quiet, something’s off."
Knowing Ji Qiutang’s instincts were highly accurate due to his spiritual power, Bi Xia refrained from any rash actions and instead gradually spread her spiritual power throughout the entire orphanage. Fortunately, the orphanage wasn’t large, so Bi Xia didn’t waste much spiritual power and could replenish it directly.
With her hands in her pockets, her face indifferent as she used her spiritual power to perceive things, after searching the last room, Bi Xia withdrew her spiritual power and looked at Ji Qiutang, "The orphanage is empty."
Ji Qiutang frowned, only to hear Bi Xia say leisurely, "But there was a spiritual power fluctuation found at the east-west corner."
"Heh," Bi Xia sneered, casually glancing in the east-west direction, "As expected, something that can’t make it to the stage, a whole setup of underground tunnels."
If I remember correctly... 007 timidly spoke up, Dream Drunk... seemed to have an underground passage too...
’What kind of underground passage is that? Please, it’s just on the first underground level, clearly separated by a door.’
What’s the difference...?
’Of course there’s a difference.’ Bi Xia and Ji Qiutang walked toward that direction, ’One is underground, the other’s above ground; can they be the same?’
...But they’re both hidden...
Bi Xia stopped, ’Everything my brother does is right, any objections?!’
...No objections!
Very satisfied with 007’s timing, Bi Xia smiled crookedly, Ji Qiutang raised an eyebrow slightly at Bi Xia’s expression, "Seems like only you could laugh at such a critical moment."
Bi Xia shrugged, "What else? Put on a grim face?" Saying this, Bi Xia spread her hands out, "Second Young Master Ji, that’s a bit low. Let me tell you from experience, at times like these, the more laid-back you are, the more anxious the other side will be."
"Oh?" Ji Qiutang’s clear eyes held a smile, "Why?"
"Because they’re self-doubting, doubting whether we fell into their trap, scared of us," her starry eyes glanced at Ji Qiutang with a cold smile, "Don’t tell me you don’t know this, are you stupid?"
Ji Qiutang: ...Knowing that you knew and still answered so seriously...
As if she knew what Ji Qiutang wanted to say, Bi Xia blinked innocently, humming, "I won’t turn a blind eye when I’m supposed to act along with you..."
Ji Qiutang: ...Too crafty!
Watching the young man walking past her leisurely pace, Ji Qiutang’s eyebrows and eyes held a certain true softness, a bit looking forward to future days...
"By the way," Bi Xia suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Ji Qiutang, tossing a lollipop to him with an upraised hand. The young man was already sucking on another lollipop at the time, the sunlight was just right, the sunset cast a bit of glow, and standing under the sunset’s glow, it seemed as if the young man was bathed in a layer of golden light. Just watching her eyebrows raise, red lips quirk up, "Don’t worry, I’ll protect you."
