Chapter 434 - 434: Wanting to Deal with Su Bai
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Olive was a girl who appeared quiet and gentle, with a cute and innocent face, fair-skinned and beautiful. When she walked outside, others might suspect that Olive was the kind of person who would take three big breaths after walking a single step.
Somewhat similar to Lin Daiyu. But Olive didn’t have Lin Daiyu’s inherent morbidity. When working, Olive was so efficient that Yan Yi and Yan Xuan were impressed.
Olive’s strength, her ability to take action, and her talent were no joke. From Olive’s admission that she had run away from her family, Yan Xuan could probably guess that Olive’s family was clearly one of those genuine noble families.
It was likely that Olive’s family had pampered her like a little princess.
Yan Yi gulped and wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that she didn’t seem inclined to answer, he gave up. He always knew that Olive seemed to sense his feelings for her, which was why she always kept a distance from him. It was like making him give up on his own.
Yan Xuan sighed, ‘That was fine too; as long as it didn’t affect our relationship as colleagues, it was a good thing. After all, these two were really useful workhorses!’
As for Su Bai, he wasn’t planning to meddle in Yan Xuan’s affairs anymore.
They would create a prototype of what they wanted to make and show it to Su Bai for approval. If Su Bai had no issues, they would proceed with production. If there were problems, Su Bai would modify it and then allow them to continue production.
Such workflow seemed workable and they were quite familiar with it now.
After resolving the issues at Mount Tragic, things calmed down for them. At least for now, there didn’t seem to be any major problems.
However, on Han Zhengzhi’s side, a big conspiracy was being planned. “Han Zhengzhi is dead just like that. Can we still do something?”
“Fortunately, we managed to bring back his body; it was just a close call!” As Han Yanyan said that, her right hand clenched into a fist involuntarily. “Han Zhengzhi was cultivated by us. We can’t just let him die like this!” “However, when should we bring Fang Yinxun back?”
Fang Yinxun had gone with them to Mount Tragic last time. But he was captured by Su Bai and now he was still being held at Mount Tragic.
“It’s not easy. To keep Fang Yinxun imprisoned, they say Su Bai set up the prison himself. Su Bai is the one who ranked first in the alchemist competition last time.”
Han Yanyan’s dissatisfaction grew.
“Not only did we lose Han Zhengzhi, but we also lost five Monsters. That Han Zhengzhi is truly foolish! If it weren’t for the fact that cultivating him consumed so many resources, I would have wanted him dead!”
Others let out sighs.
“What’s most unfortunate is Fang Yinxun. We can’t afford to lose such a high-ranking general, can we?”
Han Yanyan worriedly picked up her phone and said, “Forget it, let’s call the boss! Otherwise, we can’t think of any other way. We can’t just barge into that prison.”
Han Yanyan was quite clever. Since she knew the prison was set up by Su Bai, it was unlikely that they could extract Fang Yinxun with their current strength. Especially since Su Bai had defeated five Monsters, they couldn’t underestimate his power.
Originally, the others didn’t want to tell the boss about that but they had to since Han Yanyan was the captain now.
“Fine, call the boss.”
They were definitely going to be scolded this time. Their only hope was that the scolding would be a bit lighter. They all harbored their own thoughts and then they all focused their gaze on Han Yanyan’s phone.
Han Yanyan cleared her throat and said, “Boss, we have a problem over here…”
Han Yanyan made the call.
On the other hand, at the Ji family mansion, a silver-haired young man furrowed his brow. His brows kept twitching, causing the person in front of him to tremble.
“Boss…”
He pouted, “Where did you see Miss Ji the last time?”
The person cleared their throat and thought, ‘I had already mentioned this before, but just now it seemed that the boss was daydreaming. This didn’t make sense. Every time something concerned Miss Ji, the boss was always the most attentive one.’
“It was in a laboratory. It seems like she had a mentor named Roger. However, I’m sure Miss Ji didn’t notice me. But last time when I went there, Miss Ji was no longer with Professor Luo.”
The young man’s gaze became even more profound. His hair was slightly disheveled by the wind, making it look like he was contemplating something, yet also like he was spacing out.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, “Go find out where Miss Ji is now.
See if she’s safe.’
However, that young man believed that Olive was definitely safe now.
In his view, even though Olive appeared rebellious and wanted to escape, when she encountered danger, she would still seek help from her family.
“Family…” the young man muttered these three words, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. “Now it’s time to settle the matter with the family!”
Currently, the Ji family was in fierce internal strife, and those outside naturally had no idea. At least in the young man’s eyes, his little sister running away was a good thing.
“Alright, go handle this, of course, don’t let the family know,” said the young man. He glanced at the door. At this moment, a graceful young woman approached.
The young woman’s steps were light, and she was just a step away from thrusting the dagger in her hand into the man’s neck.
However, timing is everything. Just as the girl was about to attack, the man preemptively pointed his gun at her head. He asked, “What’s the mission this time?”
Liu Miaoqing smiled and said, “There’s no way around it. Your Ji family offers too much. This time the task is to find Miss Ji. However, I can’t believe you, the sis-con, would actually trust that your sister is safe somewhere else.”
As soon as Liu Miaoqing mentioned that, the young man seemed to be vexed. He said, “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who wants to watch my sister 24/7.”
Liu Miaoqing looked at the young man disbelievingly. Then she assessed her surroundings.
The man clicked his tongue, “These are all our people, it’s fine to talk about it.”
Only then did Liu Miaoqing feel at ease. Since the other party didn’t mind, there was no need for her to worry either. She said, “That group wants to get Mount Tragic’s attention.”
The young man nodded and asked. “Are you here to tell me this?”
Liu Miaoqing chuckled and said, “Why are you so impatient today? That group was defeated by Su Bai and even their five Monsters were eliminated. Han Zhengzhi is dead, but that group took his body back.”
The man let out a long breath and asked, “So they want to deal with this person named Su Bai, right?”
