"First, Lin Hongbin and the others in the Hidden Assassination Squad must be arranged to return to the country as soon as possible. Penghai doesn't need to hide the Yanhuang Soul anymore, just tell them the truth. Second, you should co back quickly too, Ruyu is waiting for you."
"Hmm? Did that bastard say this himself?"
"Yes."
"Bastard…"
Li San knew that when Xiaofan said that, it ant he didn't want him to stay and look for him.
Did this bastard really think of even this?
"Send the last coordinates of his disappearance…"
"San…"
"Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."
"Alright, I'll send it to your phone shortly. That's it, he still has a lot to explain... for to handle. So, co back soon."
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, Li San kicked the garbage can on the roadside hard, denting it.
What a joke, before confirming Xiaofan's whereabouts, Li San would never easily return.
On this side, after receiving the news, Penghai also imdiately reported everything to Yanhuang Soul.
Faithfully, he reported all of Xiaofan's plans.
Concealing the truth would definitely result in punishnt.
However, Penghai didn't feel wronged at all and even took all the punishnt upon himself.
For so reason, he felt an imnse admiration for this young man, nearly ten years his junior.
Yes, he had made mistakes, privately taking HLY007's information to Japan and losing it.
Before coming to Japan, Penghai and the others had always thought Ye Xiaofan was just a reckless scoundrel taking advantage of being Ye Aotian's grandson.
However, after spending ti together—no, after being rescued by him from the base—the impression instantly changed. Through further interactions and tonight's final battle, Penghai also introspected. If it were him, aside from strength, could he possess the sa determination to let go of everything, without any restraint?
The answer was no, Penghai couldn't do it, nor could anyone he knew.
"Yes, that's the report outco, absolutely true. If there's any falsity, I'm willing to bear all responsibility," Penghai said.
"Penghai, you're not new to missions, how can you be so impulsive. Forget it, let's discuss the punishnt after you safely return."
"Principal…" Suddenly, Penghai called out to Liu Xu, who was about to hang up.
"What else is there?"
"Regarding this incident, I don't think all the bla should be placed on Ye Xiaofan, so I personally request…"
"Shut up, this whole thing is his doing, and he must shoulder the consequences. You already have pending punishnt, so on what grounds are you defending him? Hmph, that's it…"
This kind of callous boss really made Penghai's head ache, but there's nothing he could do. Penghai was rely a mber of the Hidden Assassination Squad. Despite earning a high salary, he didn't have a say within the organization.
Early the next morning.
At this ti, all intelligence from Japan couldn't be exported, obviously indicating so major disturbance occurred over there.
It was pouring rain last night, but today, the first rays of sunny light shone brightly upon the earth.
Inside Bai Xue's residence.
This woman, who didn't know if she was even married, was standing on the balcony, slowly gazing at the flowers and plants below.
Yesterday, she received the news that her fiancé was no longer alive.
Ironically, her fiancé was killed by the man she loved the most.
Should she hate him? Bai Xue pondered this in her heart, contemplating… Life, indeed, is short. A person can be gone in an instant, as if they never existed in the first place.
Hate him? She couldn't.
Even now, Bai Xue's heart still lingered on that man. Although she didn't feel that what she did in the past was wrong.
Where is he now? Has he found the antidote for the White Scorpion?
"Master, there's intel."
"Bring it over…"
"Yes."
After taking the tablet, Bai Xue gently entered her password and opened her mailbox.
The information inside made Leng Yue's heart constrict.
'Thud.'
The tablet slipped from her hand and crashed to the ground.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Hmm? Oh, nothing… nothing happened…"
Picking up the tablet again, Bai Xue carefully read the information on it.
This was intel sent back to her by soone she had arranged within the Special High Class.
The intel reported that the mysterious base had been invaded by the Black Mantis, and the entire base was demolished. Including Muto, ninety-nine percent of the personnel on the island were dead or missing.
Only seventeen survived. Among them, five were infected with an unknown virus, causing large areas of their bodies to ulcerate. Two had already died, and the remaining three were still being saved in the hospital.
Currently, the search around the island continued.
After all, last night, strong winds and waves, coupled with the explosion, caused a minor tsunami. So even finding a few bodies proved impossible.
The whole island was blasted into a wasteland overnight, with a foul stench lingering, and search personnel had to wear hazmat suits and gas masks.
This was the simple intel, and below it was more…
It described mutants, HLY, and other research conducted on the island.
Coincidentally, among the survivors, soone witnessed the fight between Ye Xiaofan and Muto on the island. Their testimony revealed the truth.
That ans during the explosion, he was on the island.
So, now where is he? Dead or alive?
But whether dead or alive… it was destined for the two of them to never be together. Was his presence that important to her?
Nevertheless, he was indeed an exceptional man. From the Red Butterfly to today… he created yet another legend.
"Master, there's a eting in half an hour; shall we get ready now?"
"Mm, get the car ready, I'll change clothes and co down."
"Yes."
Wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes, Bai Xue turned and walked back into her room.
Life must go on, and this world won't stop spinning without him. She alone would take control of her tomorrow.
Regardless of whether it's Lingze or Ye Xiaofan… since neither can be with her, she'll pave her way alone.
Outwardly, Bai Xue seed to have let go of everything and returned to life; yet, why, when she was changing, did she quietly pick up the tablet and send another ssage to the opposite party's email?
The ssage said: No matter which survivor is found during the search, take a photo and send it to , even if dead…
