Tang Tianyou, though puzzled, didn't intend to question it in front of so many people.
On the other hand, Li San, after noticing sothing was amiss, walked over feeling slightly uneasy.
However, since everyone was present, Xiaofan began to detail the plan for the wedding heist three days later.
Before coming here, Xiaofan had already learned from Leng Yue everything about Bai Xue's wedding day. One side was the Celestial Emperor's own granddaughter, and the other was Major General Lingze from the military.
If they were to make a move, it would attract the attention of all of Japan, and at that ti, probably everyone in Japan would join the pursuit of Xiaofan's group.
Therefore, how and when to act on the heist, every step Xiaofan had to arrange ticulously.
At the start of explaining the plan, everyone listened quietly, transitioning from initial calm to slight amazent, then admiration, and finally applauding enthusiastically...
Everyone was genuinely satisfied with Xiaofan's plan, where every step was arranged excellently.
So, after hearing the plan, the group began to anticipate the wedding three days later, even feeling eager to start.
"Leng Yue?"
Lin Hongbin and the others went back to rest, planning to prepare for the action three days later after dawn.
However, Leng Yue felt a bit lancholic, walking outside to the corridor, gazing at the night sky where even the moon was obscured.
"Hmm?"
"What are you looking at?"
"I don't know."
"If you feel morally uneasy about this, you don't have to participate in the action three days from now."
"Hmm? Sorry, Xiaofan, even though I know this wedding heist is important to you, I'm afraid I really can't do it. So..."
Indeed, Leng Yue was originally a cold-hearted assassin, but her intent to kill was always for the sake of protecting her master.
Even though now, Leng Yue had completely freed herself from the fate of shadows, turning into an imdiate adversary, she couldn't manage it right away.
"Ah, I guessed it already. At least, your feelings are deeper than hers. I never planned on making you participate," Xiaofan said softly.
Long ago, Xiaofan felt that in so ways, Leng Yue was similar to Zuimo, like once they enter into genuine emotions, they would dedicate themselves entirely.
However, the difference was that Zuimo was a woman who dared to love and hate, while Leng Yue wasn't. She dared to love but couldn't hate the person she had previously been so close to, even if that person wanted to kill her an hour ago.
And Leng Yue had decided to follow Xiaofan forever, which ant she had to consider everything with Xiaofan at the center. Yet, between Xiaofan and Bai Xue, she couldn't face it entirely without pressure. At least, not now quickly.
He ca. He figured out her concerns with just a glance and never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. This alone was enough to comfort Leng Yue.
"Ahem..."
"Hmm? Caterpillar, what are you doing?"
While the two were chatting, Li San walked slowly to the balcony and coughed a few tis.
"Well, I wanted to have a word with Xiaofan," Li San said slowly. This ti, he didn't bother correcting anyone calling him by the nickna Caterpillar.
"Then, I'll sit inside for a bit..."
"No need, just say whatever it is," Xiaofan called out to Leng Yue, looking at Li San.
"No, you n talk; take your ti," Leng Yue was a very understanding girl.
Since Xiaofan was willing to let her stay and listen, it ant he trusted her. So, no need to avoid anything. But Leng Yue wasn't pretentious; seeing Caterpillar wanting to talk to Xiaofan alone, she took the initiative to leave the balcony and went back to the living room.
Watching Leng Yue leave, Xiaofan glanced at Li San: "What are you doing?"
"Tell , what's going on exactly?" Li San ca to Xiaofan to directly inquire about his doubts.
"It's just like that," Xiaofan said plainly.
"Don't fool around. You've always worked for Bai Xue; I know that. Now that you've been poisoned by White Scorpion, only Bai Xue's antidote can completely cure you. But now, you're gathering everyone with Leng Yue to plan a wedding heist on Bai Xue's wedding day? Even though your plan is impressive, your relationship with Bai Xue is what I'm most curious about."
"Ah, the partnership has ended. I intend to fully retrieve the HLY007 data," Xiaofan said plainly.
"But you need to tell why. Also, when you asked Tang Tianyou earlier, was it because you and Bai Xue had a falling out and she's no longer giving you the antidote?" Li San guessed.
"That's about right..."
"Co on, Xiaofan, given the ti and situation, stop playing gas; what really happened, tell clearly," Li San was so anxious about Xiaofan's seemingly indifferent deanor.
"Alright, Leng Yue tried to steal the antidote for earlier and got caught by Bai Xue..."
In such circumstances, Xiaofan explained the whole story to Li San. Of course, even without tonight's incident, Xiaofan had long planned for the wedding heist three days later.
After all, Xiaofan couldn't have planned the next move in such a short ti fra after the conflict with Bai Xue.
However, seeing Bai Xue about to kill Leng Yue only strengthened Xiaofan's resolve to carry out the plan.
"No way, without the antidote, you'll die," Li San exclaid, utterly shocked after hearing the story.
Indeed, with the pills' suppression, the White Scorpion inside Xiaofan had no chance to grow. But now, having fallen out with Bai Xue, Xiaofan only had forty-nine days left. Even if Leng Yue still had a few pills to tide over for a dozen days, that only amounted to two months, and two months could fly by in no ti.
This was far scarier than being diagnosed with late-stage cancer...
"I know."
"You know? If you know, why did you have a falling out with Bai Xue? If you could set aside the past, maybe she..."
Originally, Li San wanted to suggest staying with Bai Xue, thinking maybe there'd be a chance to get the White Scorpion's antidote. But Xiaofan's look silenced him.
Indeed, knowing Xiaofan so well, how could he continue to grovel and stay after everything that happened? Besides, the main reason for staying by Bai Xue's side was to get the antidote for Zuimo.
