Only now had Yun Xi truly realized that being beside this man required not only the courage to not fear death, but also the need to face such partings and so much worry. Every time he went out on a mission, she had to watch him leave and wait for him to come back safely. This form of torture was no better than facing the hail of bullets herself.
Lost in her train of thoughts, she suddenly noticed light footsteps approaching her from behind. Yi Qianmo looked at the departing helicopter whose lights were flashing in the night sky, and he raised his hand and patted Yun Xi’s shoulder, sighing softly.
“Now you realize, standing by his side is not going to be an easy thing to do, right?”
The world had people who understood the sentiments of others, but there were some extraordinary people who could pierce through hearts with just a few words.
Yun Xi turned around speechless. However, she was a little surprised to see the gentle and elegant Yi Qianmo wearing thin-rimmed glasses. His supposedly devilish eyes were now covered with these lenses, and he looked a little less evil and rather charming.
“Professor Yi, it’s rather late in the evening. Why aren’t you resting inside? Are you out here to toast the bright moon?”
“The moon, myself, and my shadow make three. And here we are, you and I, without wine or meat, how mundane.”
Yi Qianmo chuckled, waved his hand, and turned back toward the house. “Work hard and make yourself stronger, little girl. It’s not very peaceful out there these days. Be careful. When he’s not around, you can always come to me if there’s trouble. I’m always glad to be of service.”
Yun Xi watched him enter the house. As she looked down, she saw Great White standing beside her. She patted his head. “Hurry along now, Great White. I’m going to head off. I’ll come by and play with you another day.”
At that moment, the butler came out of the house and saw Great White and Yun Xi at the door. He walked over to her with a smile. “Miss Yun, the Young Master said to let Great White accompany you for these few days while he’s gone.”
“Is it really okay for me to take Great White with me?” Yun Xi was taken aback. She stood up and looked at the butler. “What about his food…?”
“I’ll send his food along with your meals each day. Don’t you worry. Great White is very familiar with the area where Su Hang lives. He also has a tracking chip installed, so he won’t get lost.”
“Okay, then, great!” Yun Xi nodded and patted Great White’s head again. “Let’s go, Great White.”
She looked back, bidding good-bye to the butler. Then, just before leaving, she added, “If the Young Commander comes back, please let me know immediately.!”
“Of course, I’ll call you as soon as the Young Commander returns.”
The moment she stepped out of the gates, Team Leader A’s car was already parked there waiting for her. Yun Xi opened the door to the backseat, and Great White quickly jumped into the car, turned his head around, and waited obediently for her to get in.
“Let’s make a stop at the Intelligence Unit before heading back home. It’s just snowed, so drive carefully.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
As if Xiang Yuanjiu had known she would come by, he stood waiting by the glass door at the entrance of Tianyu Mountain’s Intelligence Unit. When he saw the car pull to a stop at the entrance, he hurriedly pushed open the glass door and walked out.
“Yun Xi…” Xiang Yuanjiu stepped forward, but just as he was about to open the car door, he saw Great White sitting there, and his hand suddenly froze.
“What’s the matter? Are you afraid of Great White?” Yun Xi patted Great White’s head, smirking at the pale-faced Xiang Yuanjiu. Then she got out of the car alone.
“The Young Commander’s pets are very well trained. They won’t bite.” After closing the car door, Yun Xi glanced at him. “How did you know I would come?”
“I was informed before you arrived. I suppose you must have something urgent to be coming here so late at night?”
The Young Commander had told them that all the information in the Intelligence Unit, except for military secrets, could be accessed by her.
“Yes, indeed. I’m here again regarding the Han family. Did you find any leads on what I asked you to investigate?”
