After Xiang Huai said this, the phone in his pocket vibrated again.
He picked it up and opened WeChat. He saw Xue Xi’s message: “Do you need my help?”
Xiang Huai’s lips curled up and a sense of happiness spread.
That blissful and proud expression was simply unbearable to Nicholas Xiu.
Xiang Huai slowly replied: “Little girlfriend, don’t be anxious.”
There will always be a chance for you to make a move.
After sending the message, he looked up at Nicholas Xiu again, only to see him tense his chin. Nicholas had suddenly realized something and picked up his phone. Just as Nicholas was about to send the message, the man in front of him suddenly moved!
Nicholas could not see what Xiang Huai had done. By the time he returned to his senses, the phone was already in Xiang Huai’s hands.
He raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you here to restrain me? Then don’t contact the outside world.”
Nicholas: “…”
This was supposed to be a huge pit for Xiang Huai, but why did he end up burying himself in it?!
He waved his hand and the people who came with him instantly retreated. He wanted to leave, but before he could do so, Xiang Huai suddenly said in English, “No one is allowed to move.”
All the espers stopped in their tracks.
Turning around, they saw Xiang Huai’s long and narrow eyes filled with coldness. He enunciated each and every word and said domineeringly, “Everyone, stay behind today. Without my permission, anyone who dares to leak the news shall be…
“Killed!”
That one word stunned everyone present.
…
In the capital.
After Xue Xi replied, she saw that Xiang Huai did not reply. She casually swiped her phone and finally stopped at Ji Silin’s WeChat.
She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still replied to Ji Silin: “Brother Silin, your matter has been settled. Professor Feng has already turned himself in. The special department will not arrest you again.”
However, Ji Silin seemed to have evaporated from the world and did not reply to her.
Xue Xi sighed.
She scrolled down and saw the Moguls’ Group.
She suddenly recalled that Omnipotent Boss, Brother Silin, and Professor Feng were all mutants. Did that mean that the people in this Moguls’ Group were the same?
Esper…
This term was originally so far away from her, but now, it was so close.
She could not help but open the group’s member list. For some unknown reason, her gaze first landed on Cen Bai.
Cen Bai…
Esper…
Xue Xi thought for a moment and sent a message to the chatterbox, Qin Shuang: “Are you free?”
Qin Shuang replied very quickly: “I happen to be free today and will be joining the production team tomorrow. Sister Xi, what’s wrong?”
I’m free today…
Xue Xi asked: “Is Cen Bai free today?”
Qin Shuang: “Yes. Shall we have dinner together?”
Xue Xi: “Okay.”
There were some things that ordinary people could not know, so she wanted to talk to Cen Bai in person and find out if he was an esper.
She was different from the people in the special department. So far, she had a good impression of the espers. Even Professor Feng, who had absorbed the energy of the students, could not be judged by her for his mistakes.
A person like Cen Bai was not in the special department. Could he be a wild esper?
Qin Shuang: “The two of us happen to be near your school. We’ll go meet you at 6 PM.”
Xue Xi: “Okay.”
She put down her phone and looked at the laboratory.
Outside, Li Xuekai was handling some matters. Everyone was busy, and everything in the laboratory had gone back to normal. There was no need for her to keep an eye on it.
Xue Xi stood up and walked out. Just as she stepped out, she saw that Li Xuekai had already sorted out the project. He walked over with a thick stack of documents in his hand. “Sister Xi, these are the core documentations of our light source machine. We need to take these to be patented. I’ll put them in the safe first.”
Xue Xi nodded. “Sure.”
Things like filing for patents were all trivial matters. She rarely did it personally and left this matter to Li Xuekai.
Xue Xi looked down at the time and realized that it was already 6 PM. Hence, she stood up to attend the appointment.
The place she had arranged to meet Qin Shuang and Cen Bai was in a very private tea restaurant filled with Cantonese snacks.
When Xue Xi entered the private room, she saw only Cen Bai.
He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask. It was obvious that he was being followed and photographed.
Xue Xi paused when she saw him. “Why are you alone?”
Cen Bai said, “Xiao Shuang was afraid that we would be photographed if we came together, so she asked me to go first. She will follow behind.”
Xue Xi suddenly understood.
Only then did she realize that this chatterbox was really a superstar now and could not be as casual as before.
However, it just so happened that the chatterbox was not around.
Xue Xi sat opposite Cen Bai and asked straightforwardly, “What’s your special power?”
