Bai Biaobing, snapping back from his surprise, quickly put away his smile and beca extrely serious. He wanted to probe the other’s identity and purpose, but soon dismissed the idea from his mind.
Joking aside, with matters that could lead to political scrutiny, the less you know, the better. Who would be foolish enough to inquire further?
At the sa ti, Bai Biaobing focused all his attention, ears perked up, awaiting questions from the other party.
He understood that this might be a significant opportunity for him. If he cooperated correctly and made a remarkable contribution, at least a second-class rit award could be expected.
And if he happened to play a crucial role, it was not impossible to be promoted another level!
After all, this was a docunt signed by the Ministry of Public Security!
"First, has there been any unusual occurrences in Kunlun Mountain recently?" Yu Ningxue asked.
"Unusual occurrences?"
Bai Biaobing frowned and thought deeply. After a mont, he replied, "If you’re asking about unusual occurrences, a group of foreign tourists suddenly arrived a while ago, and they were quite generous. Now almost all the local rchants can converse simply in English!"
Yu Ningxue nodded in acknowledgnt at this seemingly teasing but truthful answer and quickly grasped the key point: "A while ago?"
"Yes, if you’re asking for a specific ti..." Bai Biaobing thought carefully and said, "It should be about twenty-five days ago, not more than a month!"
Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue exchanged a glance. This timing coincided with Lin Bingxuan’s sleeping period, which matched the information Xiao Tian received from Ren Wenshan in Lu Province and from the Saintly Virtue Daoist of the Dao Yi Sect!
Yu Ningxue pondered for a mont and asked, "When did those foreigners leave?"
"Those foreigners stayed for about ten days or so," Bai Biaobing replied sowhat uncertainly, "They haven’t appeared since then."
"Did you guys deliberately pay attention to this matter?" Yu Ningxue asked cautiously, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Not really," Bai Biaobing replied, pouring her another cup of water, "After all, we didn’t receive any reports or complaints from the public, so we didn’t assign personnel for an in-depth investigation."
Yu Ningxue, hearing this reasonable explanation, couldn’t help but furrow her brows even more tightly. "Since you didn’t pay much attention, why do you know so much?"
Bai Biaobing was taken aback, and when he saw her beautiful eyes staring intently at him, he felt as if he were being interrogated as a suspect.
But knowing the urgency of the situation, Bai Biaobing coughed and explained, "Because my younger brother-in-law has a small stall near Kunlun Mountain. He happened to be staying at my house during those days."
"My wife saw him studying an English learning book every day. Initially, we were both very supportive. But later, when he stopped studying it, we asked him why, and he said those foreigners had already left, making it pointless to learn!"
After a long silence, Yu Ningxue said, "Let’s leave it at that for now. Please investigate the identities of those people and contact the customs personnel to check their entry and exit records."
Bai Biaobing agreed and went to contact his people, leaving the two behind. Yu Ningxue looked at Xiao Tian with questioning eyes.
Xiao Tian gave her a thumbs-up to show encouragent and then said, "Next, I’ll head to Kunlun Mountain before you. First, to see if I can find Bingxuan, and second, to gather information on those forces."
Yu Ningxue said with so concern, "Your injuries haven’t healed yet, isn’t it too risky to go alone?"
"Don’t worry!" Xiao Tian smiled, "Even if I can’t win, I can still run away!"
Hearing this, Yu Ningxue reluctantly agreed, "Then, be careful!"
Xiao Tian pinched Yu Ningxue’s cheek, "Call if anything happens!"
"Hmm!" Yu Ningxue responded, her spirits obviously low.

Back at the hotel arranged by Bai Biaobing for the group, Yu Ningxue took Xiao Tian’s backpack and neatly folded his clothes into it, reminding him, "Wash and change your clothes frequently. If you’re using a washing machine, pay attention to the water temperature..."
Listening to Yu Ningxue’s endless nagging, Xiao Tian felt an overwhelming warmth in his heart, with not a hint of impatience. These details were filled with love and concern!
This had little to do with Xiao Tian’s injuries. He understood that even during his peak, going to Kunlun would give both Lin Bingxuan and Yu Ningxue heartaches.
This was an expression of love, unchanged by strength or weakness!
Once the last piece of clothing was placed inside, Yu Ningxue reluctantly shouldered it onto Xiao Tian’s back, "Once you arrive, don’t forget to call and let know you’re safe. Keep updated on any news!"
Yu Ningxue put aside her reserve and deeply hugged the person in front of her, whispering, "Rember not to get hurt!"
"Alright!"
Xiao Tian smiled warmly and suddenly, as if rembering sothing, took out an exquisite box from the side of the backpack. It was the customized crystal earrings made by the Absorbed company that Xiao Nianqing had prepared to give to Yu Ningxue as a greeting gift that day in the hospital.
"This was supposed to be a gift from my mom to you, but you didn’t accept it back then, so it’s been kept with for now." Xiao Tian looked earnestly into Yu Ningxue’s beautiful eyes and softly said, "She wanted to tell you this is a gift for her future daughter-in-law!"
Yu Ningxue gasped with surprise and joy, covering her mouth. Looking at Xiao Tian ready to open the box, she suddenly felt like she was being proposed to.
Xiao Tian slowly opened the box, took out the stunningly beautiful crystal earrings, gently removed Yu Ningxue’s original earrings, and replaced them. This sight took him by surprise!
Seeing Xiao Tian staring at her, Yu Ningxue anxiously asked, "What’s wrong? Do they look bad?"
"No!" Xiao Tian shook his head without blinking, "They’re extrely beautiful!"
Yu Ningxue shyly smiled and confird, "Really? That’s good then!"
She then took out her compact mirror and admired herself, feeling they were extraordinarily beautiful, the kind of beauty that made people gasp in awe!
"I ant you, you’re stunningly beautiful!" Xiao Tian said, correcting her as she continued to admire herself in the mirror.
"Why are you so good with words today?" Yu Ningxue blushingly retorted.
Xiao Tian’s face turned serious as he said, "Compared to the magnificent crystals, you’re the most precious!" With that, he kissed the lovely girl before him...

anwhile, in the hospital, Wang Bin was recounting his tragic plight, tears and snot flowing. Wang Peng, upon learning that his son’s fertility was not affected, also felt relieved.
Looking at his son sobbing before him, Wang Peng solemnly assured, "Don’t worry, I will get justice for you!"
Before he finished speaking, the butler entered, slightly bowing as he said, "The task you assigned has been completed. The one taking the task is the twentieth-ranked expert, Satan, but..."
