“Prince Qi Ye?”
However, when Jian Ai and the rest returned to the mercenary group headquarters and told Hans the answer they had received, Hans was shocked.
His eyes widened as he looked at Jian Ai for confirmation. “You said that the person behind this is Prince Qi Ye of Qiusi?”
Hans’ reaction was a little unexpected and agitated. His usually calm tone had increased by three points, which puzzled Jian Ai.
Jian Ai nodded. “That’s right. It’s Prince Qi Ye!”
“Could he be lying?” Hans’ expression was solemn, but he was extremely embarrassed, as if he was trying his best to prove something.
Hearing the word?‘lying,’ Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile and shake her head. She explained to Hans, “Leader Hans, do you still remember how Yun Buyao could forcefully talk to you in your mind that night?”
When Hans heard this, he nodded. This ability was very rare, so he naturally wouldn’t forget it.
Seeing this, Jian Ai continued, “Yun Buyao’s ability is more than that. In front of her, no one can lie!”
Hans’ mouth was half-open, and his thick beard was filled with emotions. After a while, he muttered, “It’s actually Prince Qi Ye from Qiusi…”
Seeing his abnormality, Jian Ai and the rest subconsciously looked at each other because no one knew what had happened. It was as if this was the first time Leader Hans had heard this news.
!!!
Could it be!!!
“You didn’t know?”
Jian Ai exclaimed and looked at Hans in shock.
Hans pursed his lips and shook his head. “He used his identity as an oil tycoon in Dubai to fund the mercenary group!”
That was why he had always called the other party Sir!
Jian Ai: “…”
She did not expect Qi Ye to be so careful and hide himself very well!
Hans smiled bitterly. “All these years, he never really believed me. Even his identity was fake.”
Although the mercenary group and Prince Qi Ye had an employment relationship, to put it bluntly, one spent money and the other did things. However, when one party learned that they had never been trusted and had been lied to for so many years that they did not even know the other party’s true identity, they would be sad and angry!
Because the other party would sponsor a considerable sum of money for the mercenary group every year, the mercenary group worked very hard and tried their best to achieve the other party’s request perfectly.
Those were all requests with their lives on the line, and they did not even know who they were risking their lives for!
Jian Ai and the rest looked at Hans and didn’t know what to say because this situation was a little out of line. Who would have thought that Qi Ye would use a fake identity on Hans?
After a while, Hans suddenly laughed at himself. “Jian, fortunately, I kept the last bit of mercenary principles and didn’t tell you the other party’s identity. Otherwise, what you learned from me would be fake!”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this. At that time, she thought Hans was doing something unnecessary and deceiving himself. She didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
“We got the news we wanted and plan to return to China tomorrow,” Jian Ai suddenly said.
Hans was stunned for a moment before revealing a reluctant expression. “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay for a few more days?”
Jian Ai smiled bitterly and said, “Leader Hans, I’m still in school. I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, I’ll fall behind in my homework.”
Hans naturally wouldn’t force them to stay. He also knew that Jian Ai and the rest had more important things to do.
“Jian, it’s good to meet you. I never thought I would be friends with a fifteen-year-old girl, but now, we’re friends!” Hans said and extended a hand to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai smiled and reached out to shake his hand. “I never thought that I would be friends with the leader of a mercenary group! Don’t worry, I’ll help you convey what I promised you to Bai Zhou.”
Hans nodded gratefully. “I’ll welcome you to Italy again!”
Jian Ai: “Of course!”
The night before they left, Jian Ai and the rest sat in the living room of the villa and talked to Bai Zhou and the rest.
“We’ll go back tomorrow.”
“Have you found out who it is?” Bai Zhou asked.
“It’s your brother, Prince Qi Ye!” Jian Ai said the truth without hesitation.
Because she had thought about it. Although this matter made it difficult for her to say it, and it might make Bai Zhou unable to accept it for a moment, that was the truth. There was no use in running away. The most important thing now was to think of a way to deal with it.
Hearing Jian Ai’s words, the other end of the phone fell silent. Jian Ai knew that Bai Zhou was also stunned.
She said nothing else and only said slowly, “I know this news is not what you want. Think about it first.”
Jian Ai hung up.
With Xiao Zhen and Chi Yang around, Jian Ai naturally did not have to worry.
Yun Buyao sighed faintly. “Born in that complicated royal family, you can’t escape such a fate. Poor Bai Zhou.”
From the moment everyone knew it was Prince Qi Ye, their thoughts were almost the same. All of this must have evolved for the throne of Qiusi.
The battle for the throne of the royal family had been happening since ancient times. Qiusi was the only remaining monarchy in the world, and it was the modern version of the ancient royal family, so such a thing was inevitable.
Jian Ai sighed and looked at Zhi Tong who had not said a word. “Don’t think about Bai Zhou for now. Zhi Tong, what are your plans? Come with us!”
Zhi Tong was wearing a black robe that completely covered his body. He sat on the sofa like a sack and couldn’t help but look up at Jian Ai.
After a while, he said, “If I stay by the Sect Master’s side like this, I’ll cause trouble for the Sect Master.”
At this moment, it was already night. Zhi Tong’s voice turned into a hoarse and old man again.
“In my eyes, you’re the same as them. There’s no difference,” Jian Ai said. “The twelve guards who have already appeared have already stayed by my side. I know you want to stay too, right?”
Zhi Tong looked at Jian Ai with anticipation and yearning in his eyes.
Jian Ai smiled and said again, “Come with me!”
The reason she tried her best to take Zhi Tong away was that Jian Ai already understood he had become like how he was because he had awakened the power of the evil spirit. In the eyes of others, he was neither human nor ghost, but he was very kind in his heart.
In order not to scare others, he lived alone in a deep mountain in San Marino and almost never interacted with the outside world.
He was afraid of loneliness, so he would release many vengeful spirits to accompany him. Such days had lasted for a few years when Bai Zhou found him back then.
Jian Ai didn’t want him to be alone like a lonely ghost. She wanted to take him away.
“Let’s go, Zhi Tong. China is so fun. A few family members are waiting for you to go back!” Yun Buyao also smiled!
