Xia Luoqiao snorted coquettishly and said, “That damned Pan Guming. He’s already dead, yet he still caused so much trouble. Is he trying to anger us to death? Master, we can’t let this matter go so easily. We have to snatch Madam’s corpse back no matter what.”
She Qi’s aura didn’t seem as terrifying as before after his analysis. However, he glanced at Xia Luoqiao from the corner of his eye and asked, “What should I do? Chi Jiao has read the diary. She should be able to sense the relationship between her and Xi’er. It wasn’t easy for her to obtain Xi’er’s corpse, so she definitely won’t be willing to let her go. Quan Jue is the same. If I’m not wrong, they must have already brought Bai Wanxi’s corpse to 117 headquarters. Do you want me to go to the headquarters to fight with them for Xi’er’s corpse?”
Xia Luoqiao thought about it and indeed found it unrealistic.
However, Xia Luoqiao tried her best to maintain her smile as she continued speaking in a fawning tone. “Master, I’m just concerned about you. I know how deep your feelings for Madam are. You’re so sad now that Madam has suddenly been abducted. I’m very worried about you.”
“There’s nothing to worry about since the corpse was taken away by Chi Jiao. She’s different from the others. She will protect Xi’er’s corpse well. For now, I must stay calm. I can only go along with Chi Jiao and make arrangements step by step… Pass down my orders. Tell our subordinates to be careful. Don’t make any hasty moves.” She Qi narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be scheming something vicious. With that, he stood up and strode out of the basement.
Xia Luoqiao looked at him in confusion, unable to figure out what he was planning.
However, these small matters were nothing to Xia Luoqiao. The only person she cared about was She Qi. His command was absolute.
That night, in the VIP room on the top floor of the 117 headquarters.
Xu Ye lay in bed, tossing and turning, but he couldn’t fall asleep.
Lying on the nearby sofa, Beitang Lie was woken up by him. He yawned and suppressed his drowsiness and asked, “Xu Ye, what’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
Since Beitang Lie had already “caught” him, Xu Ye decided not to try and sleep anymore. He sat up, picked up the glass of water by the bed, and drank a few mouthfuls of water in one go. “I don’t know if it’s because of the food I ate tonight, but my mouth feels dry. Mr. Beitang, I’m going out for a walk. You should sleep first.”
Beitang Lie looked worried. He clicked his tongue and said, “What nonsense are you spouting? I’m in charge of protecting you. How can I let you go out alone? Let’s go. I want to take a breather, too. Let’s go together.”
“Sorry to trouble you.” Xu Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around, lifted the blanket, and got off the bed.
Xu Ye might not have bothered Beitang Lie if it was any other time. However, he felt extremely uncomfortable today. His heart was beating wildly as if something was urging him.
He had to get some fresh air. Otherwise, he was worried that he would suffocate.
Beitang Lie accompanied him outside. A few other Espers stood outside the room. They were all in charge of protecting Xu Ye.
These Espers were on full alert whether it was day or night. They couldn’t help feeling worried when they saw Beitang Lie and Xu Ye walking out.
