Chapter 45 News about An Qingyu
In the end, Zhai Ge was contracted by Li Jie to Baili Pangpang for 2999 yuan per day.
Why not 3000? Well, that's a long story... (Ahem, not what you're thinking~)
Now they face another problem...
Where are we staying tonight?
Li Jie and Lin Qiye will definitely go back to Hongying's villa.
The arrogant guy had also made arrangements for his three little followers.
The remaining three can't possibly sleep on the streets...
Seeing the three of them standing there helplessly and trembling, Li Jie and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance, as if they had thought of something.
I remember that hotel back then didn't require ID cards...
When the group of five arrived at the entrance of the love hotel, the two who started it all couldn't help but smile.
Indeed, it was this hotel that brought them together and led them to join the same team.
As the 'safe house' personally selected by Lao Zhao, it's definitely safe to move in here without needing any identification information.
The receptionist smiled knowingly as she watched the two little guys from before bring three more teenagers of different appearances to check into a room.
"What about that guy who came with you last time? How's he doing? I remember he was quite handsome~"
As they took their room keys and walked into the room, the receptionist jokingly remarked.
Li Jie pretended not to hear and walked inside on his own, while Lin Qiye's ears turned red instantly.
It seems she still remembers everything...
...........
After settling the three of them in, Li Jie and Lin Qiye returned to the villa together.
Seeing them return, Old Zhao, who had been lying idly on the sofa, suddenly sat up and started cursing.
"You two brats, don't you know what time it is? Why are you coming back so late!"
"If it weren't for that old bastard captain holding me back, I would have gone out to look for you guys..."
Listening to Lao Zhao's complaints, the two smiled and nodded obediently from time to time.
This is what home feels like...
Unbeknownst to them, five hundred meters south of the villa, Leng Xuan was watching this scene through a scope with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Chen Muye quietly walked to Leng Xuan's side, squatted down, and asked.
"How did things go? What happened to them after they went out?"
Leng Xuan's eyes never left the scope. He puffed out his cheeks and muttered to himself.
"They went to help that chubby kid fight. Qi Ye's skills have improved a lot; I doubt even I could beat him now, but..."
At this point, he also showed a questioning look.
"Those men were clearly no match for Li Jie, so why didn't he make a move..."
Indeed, when the group was fighting, Leng Xuan remained hidden in the shadows, and there were no other threatening creatures in his field of vision.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't have guessed that Li Jie was hiding his true strength.
Chen Muye lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Gradually, he came to understand Li Jie's considerations.
The child has grown up and is more thoughtful. He did not tell Li Jie and the other that Leng Xuan had been protecting them from the shadows.
He was afraid that revealing too much of his power would attract more enemies.
"He was hiding his strength because he didn't know how many enemies were around him, just like us."
"We also cannot determine how many heretics are hidden within the vast city of Cangnan..."
As Wu Xiangnan spoke, she walked over to the two of them.
"Thinking too much is a good thing; there are countless people in this city who want them dead."
Like Chen Muye, he also squatted down next to Leng Xuan.
"You want their lives...? Well, we'll see if you agree!"
"You've been on duty all day, don't you want to switch shifts?"
Leng Xuan shook his head.
"Captain, you're seriously underestimating a sniper's stamina..."
The two men did not reply, but simply sat down cross-legged beside him.
In the villa on the other side, after listening to Old Zhao's lecture, Li Jie and his companion went upstairs as if they had been granted a pardon.
Having walked halfway, Li Jie stopped and glanced at the tall buildings in the distance.
Lin Qiye, standing beside him, asked in confusion.
"Brother Li, is there something you need?"
Li Jie shook his head. "It's nothing." Then he looked away and silently returned to his bedroom.
Seeing the gaze Li Jie cast at him, Leng Xuan smiled and then said calmly.
"It seems he's spotted us."
"Really? What a vigilant brat..."
Silent all night.
............
The following morning, Lunar New Year's Eve had arrived.
After a heavy snowfall, the entire city seemed to be draped in a pure white coat, shining exceptionally brightly under the dazzling sunlight.
In a cave on the outskirts of the city, the followers of the 'Ancient God Church' gathered once again.
"Thirteen Seats, after the rats that came out of the fasting place yesterday encountered Baili Tuming and the others, there has been no news of them since. They are very likely dead."
"Scorpion, draped in a blood-red cloak, said respectfully."
Han Shaoyun, standing above, nodded without speaking; his eyes held nothing but cold indifference and utter dejection...
"Sixteenth Seat, take 'Mad Scorpion' and the others there. With you there, there shouldn't be any more mistakes. Make sure it's a one-hit kill...leave no future troubles."
Lu Liang, who was wearing a turquoise cloak beside him, nodded reluctantly.
You make me do all the dirty and hard work, what use are you?
If it weren't for the fact that you're from the 'Sea' realm... Hmph!
"Scorpion One, split your men into two groups. One team will go to the Twin Gods' agent's house to capture the 'piglets,' while the other team will join me in taking down that little white-haired guy..."
It's just killing one person, does it really require so many people...?
Seeing that everything was settled, Han Shaoyun shouted in a low voice, "Disperse!"
After everyone had left the cave, in an inconspicuous corner, a small, snow-white mouse darted its eyes around, as if deep in thought...
........
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, but Li Jie has nowhere to go except to return to his firm.
Lin Qiye was still helping Hongying put up Spring Festival couplets inside the villa when he went out first to check with the team leader at the office to see if there was anything he could help with.
And also... see if anyone wants to lay a hand on him...
He walked unhurriedly down the street when, suddenly, a small, snow-white mouse darted out from the corner of the wall and nimbly climbed onto Li Jie's shoulder.
It was holding a small piece of paper in its hand.
Li Jie reached out and took it, and saw a line of delicate handwriting written on it.
The Ancient God Church and mercenaries have joined forces; sixteen of its followers are suspected to be at the peak of the "Chuan" realm.
That's right, the one who delivered the message was An Qingyu, who had worked with him on the 'Nantuo Snake Demon' incident. However, judging from his handwriting, he didn't seem to be trying to deliberately hide his identity.
He spoke to the little mouse perched on his shoulder.
"thank you, I know now."
After receiving an affirmative reply, the little mouse pulled out another piece of paper from somewhere.
"Let's meet sometime after this is over. Also, there are some 'rats' around Lin Qiye's place, but they're not a big threat!"
Seeing this, Li Jie even began to wonder if the rat was carrying a printing press... was it really that fast...?
