Seeing Ye Qiu not answering him, Lin Jie stopped asking further; he understood what Ye Qiu ant.
He then turned to look at the national border just a short distance away and breathed a sigh of relief.
After crossing the border, Lin Jie finally relaxed completely, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.
They parked the car at a place under a mountain ridge.
They couldn't drive the car back, otherwise they would surely be taken by the police for questioning if seen.
So, Ye Qiu and Lin Jie temporarily abandoned the car outside and prepared to walk back, as they were already within the border and had seen passing cars.
They flagged down a car, and under Ye Qiu's intimidating threat, the person drove Ye Qiu and Lin Jie back.
Lin Jie called Xu Batian and explained the situation.
Xu Batian told them to co back first.
After hanging up, Xu Batian looked at Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu asked, "What exactly happened?"
Lin Jie shook his head, "I don't know either, let's talk when we get back!"
Ye Qiu and Lin Jie were picked up by Lin Jie's n after entering the city and were taken back to Xu Batian's headquarters.
Seeing Xu Batian, who was radiating intense anger, Lin Jie asked, "Boss Xu, what's going on?"
Xu Batian looked at Ye Qiu and Lin Jie, saw that although they looked disheveled, they were unhard, and nodded, "You've worked hard, it's good that you're okay."
Then, with a grim expression, Xu Batian said, "What's going on? Hmph, isn't it just that Dar's subordinates have rebelled!"
"Rebelled?"
Lin Jie and Ye Qiu exchanged a look, suddenly understanding.
Xu Batian said, "Yes, his subordinates rebelled and attempted to overthrow his regi, but only managed to occupy so small surrounding departnts. And unfortunately, you happened to stumble upon the departnt that was just taken over by the rebel forces."
Ye Qiu and Lin Jie exchanged a glance, both feeling very unlucky.
Then Lin Jie asked again, "Boss, will the mission continue?"
Xu Batian said, "Why wouldn't we continue? This little issue is nothing to General Dar."
Saying this, Xu Batian looked at Ye Qiu and said, "You get ready. In the coming days, we'll head to the Golden Triangle to complete the transaction."
"The sooner the deal is done, the sooner we can rest easy!"
Xu Batian said.
Ye Qiu nodded at this, exchanging a glance with Lin Jie.
Lin Jie left first.
Leaving Ye Qiu behind.
Xu Batian said to Ye Qiu, "Did you et Xu Lei?"
"Hmm?" Yes, I did! Ye Qiu replied.
Xu Batian pondered for a mont, seemingly wanting to say sothing, but in the end, he only said, "Treat her well."
Then he waved Ye Qiu off, indicating for him to leave.
After Ye Qiu left, he felt that Xu Batian was quite pitiful, but rembering the people he had hard and the bad deeds he had done over the years, he thought that pitiful people must have their hateful aspects.
The softness in his heart disappeared in an instant.
On the way downstairs, he encountered Xu Jiao.
"Ye Qiu."
Hearing Xu Jiao call him, Ye Qiu frowned.
"What's up?" he asked.
Xu Jiao said, "I heard you t Xu Lei, sister?"
Ye Qiu nodded.
Xu Jiao said, "Can I go see Sister Xu Lei with you?"
Ye Qiu frowned, pondered for a mont, and then nodded, "Alright, let's go together."
As they were leading Xu Jiao downstairs, they ran into Lin Jie at the entrance.
When Lin Jie saw Xu Jiao and Ye Qiu together, he blinked in surprise, and when he heard that they were going to see Xu Lei, he was montarily speechless.
Then Ye Qiu, under Lin Jie's intense gaze, left with Xu Jiao.
...
In the car, Xu Jiao asked Ye Qiu, "What's up? Lin Jie's look at you seed a bit strange?"
"Really? I didn't notice, did you see it wrong?" Xu Jiao said.
"No?'" Xu Jiao wondered, then shook her head, "Maybe I saw it wrong."
She then looked at Ye Qiu again, "I heard you took on a mission before, was it dangerous?"
Seeing the concern on Xu Jiao's face, Ye Qiu shook his head, "Not really, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"
Xu Jiao nodded, looking like she wanted to say sothing but held back.
"What is it? Do you want to say sothing?" Ye Qiu asked, seeing Xu Jiao's expression.
Xu Jiao said, "It's nothing, nothing at all!"
Seeing that Xu Jiao wasn't going to say more, Ye Qiu didn't ask further and sped up.
Upon arriving at the villa, he led Xu Jiao towards it.
The two guards who had stopped him the other day were still at the entrance.
On seeing Ye Qiu again, they greeted him, and upon seeing Xu Jiao with him, they were shocked.
They quickly greeted Xu Jiao.
They knew who Xu Jiao was indeed.
After Xu Jiao and Ye Qiu entered the villa, the two guards exchanged glances, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.
"That guy is too strong, he managed to win over both of Boss Xu's daughters."
"Impressive, hats off. We must never cross him, or we'll end up dead."
The guards, at this mont, placed Ye Qiu on a similar level as Xu Batian in their hearts, deciding implicitly never to antagonize him.
Because Ye Qiu had essentially gained the favor of Xu Batian's two daughters, everything Xu Batian had would eventually beco his.
Too terrifying.
Ye Qiu and Xu Jiao didn't know what the guards were thinking, but if they did, they would probably be left speechless.
Upon entering the villa, Ye Qiu and Xu Jiao saw Xu Lei.
"You're back!" Xu Lei asked Ye Qiu as if she were a wife.
But when she saw Xu Jiao beside Ye Qiu, she was taken aback.
Xu Jiao quickly said, "Sister Xu Lei."
"Jiaojiao, why are you here?"
Xu Lei seed truly happy to see Xu Jiao and quickly spoke,
She knew that although Xu Jiao wasn't her biological sister, she was still like one, being from the sa father but different mother.
"I ca to see you, Sister Xu Lei."
Xu Jiao obviously understood the situation.
She knew imdiately after Xu Lei and Xu Batian acknowledged each other.
"Haha, you ca to see . Such a sweet Jiaojiao!"
Xu Lei pulled Xu Jiao to a nearby sofa, and the two won began chatting away.
Ye Qiu, feeling ignored by the two won upon eting, scratched his head but was quite content enjoying the peace.
He went to a sofa, leaned back, and started nibbling on an apple.
It was only then that Xu Lei looked at Ye Qiu and, seeing the deep fatigue on his face, felt a pang of guilt.
After telling Xu Jiao sothing, she quickly went to Ye Qiu's side, "Ye Qiu, I'm sorry I..."
"It's okay. You chat, I'll take a nap!"
Ye Qiu was genuinely tired. After speaking to Xu Lei, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing the exhaustion on Ye Qiu's face, Xu Lei felt heartache.
She went to the bathroom to get a towel and gently wiped Ye Qiu's face. Seeing that Ye Qiu had fallen asleep, she softly caressed his cheek, her eyes full of tenderness.
anwhile, Xu Jiao, sipping her drink, secretly watched the scene, and seeing Xu Lei care for Ye Qiu like a wife, her eyes filled with tenderness, she went cold for a mont.
"Sigh!"
After a mont, she sighed inwardly, feeling that Xu Lei and Ye Qiu were truly a good match.
