Chapter 117 Little Fox

"I brought you some daily necessities. If you need anything else, remember to tell me."

Sui Tang placed the things he brought into Qu Le's ward one by one and began to give instructions.

"That's enough, Tang Ge. I won't be staying here for a year."

Qu Le was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, eating an apple. The wounds on his skin healed quickly and were almost healed after only a week of rest.

All that's left are these few useless fingers.

Sui Tang rolled his eyes at Qu Le and angrily threw a bag of clothes at her. "I've been very busy these past few days. After Cheng Yi fainted, things have been going on in Germany."

"Old man Dai Wei has been finding work for Cheng Yi recently. If you need anything, I won't have time to get it to you."

Qu Le was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and immediately raised his hand to catch it.

Sui Tang saw Qu Le's appearance and chuckled twice, "You have indeed recovered well."

Qu Le took a bite of the apple and gave Sui Tang a smug look.

"Oh yes, Luochuan came to see me today."

Sui Tang frowned and asked in confusion: "Luochuan?"

Qu Le nodded.

Sui Tang scratched the back of his head, frowning, "But I didn't tell him which hospital you were in."

Sui Tang was very tight-lipped in Luochuan and told him almost no useful information.

Qu Le didn't take it seriously. "Have you forgotten what he does? Just look it up and you'll know."

"Too."

For a top hacker, it would be easy to find Qu Le's location.

"What's he doing here?"

Qu Le thought for a moment and organized his words: "The second-in-command of Qianji Lock was assassinated and died in the English Channel."

When Sui Tang heard the news, his heart began to beat fast.

Qu Le continued, "They've been experiencing serious internal unrest lately. The forces under the second-in-command have begun fighting among themselves and trying to swallow each other up."

"I heard they're plotting to break away from Qianji Lock and go it alone. Luochuan can't handle it remotely, so he has to return to England."

Qu Le paused for a moment, "If this matter really cannot be handled, we may have to ask Master to come out of seclusion."

Sui Tang looked solemn when he heard this.

Qianjisuo is a thief, so it's normal for him to have enemies.

But their second-in-command is over 50 years old this year. If he was not a very cautious person, it would be impossible for him to live so long. How could he be assassinated?

And it was in the waters near the UK, which was the territory of Qianji Lock headquarters.

But to be frank, the Thousand Machine Lock had nothing to do with Tavia on the surface. Luo Chuan's presence was an unspoken secret, so there was no need for Tavia to intervene in their internal turmoil.

"Let him be careful."

This is the only advice Sui and Tang could offer.

"Um."

Sui Tang collected the garbage left by Qu Le, picked up the garbage bag and walked towards the door.

"You take a rest, I have to go back and deal with things later."

When Qu Le heard Sui Tang say this, he looked out the window at the already dark sky and sighed worriedly, "Ah, I'm almost well again. You've been so busy lately, so don't come over. I can handle it alone."

Sui Tang turned around and spat at Qu Le angrily, "Bah, bullshit, no one knows you're here except me, if I don't take care of you, who will?"

Without waiting for Qu Le to persuade him again, Sui Tang walked out of the ward and said, "I'm leaving."

After Sui Tang left, Qu Le's expression suddenly darkened.

These days, Bai Yao would appear in her ward every night.

Sometimes it's late at night, sometimes it's the night before.

Qu Le was worried that Sui Tang would meet Bai Yao. Once these two met, something would definitely happen.

“Dangdang.”

Before Qu Le could figure out anything, there was a knock on the door.

Then there was a creak and the door opened.

Qu Le rolled his eyes at the person coming outside the door.

"You are sick, aren't you tired of coming here every day?"

“Click.”

Bai Yao locked the ward door.

"Come and see my woman, what's the trouble?"

Qu Le's face twitched, and the corners of his mouth pulled up into an ugly arc, "Wow, you are so shameless, when did I agree to be your woman?"

Bai Yao walked in casually, crossed his legs and sat on the stool, leaned closer to Qu Le, raised his hand and gently rubbed the corner of her mouth.

"Little fox, don't make that expression. It doesn't suit you."

Bai Yao's fingertips were a little cold, and when they touched the corner of Qu Le's lips, she shivered unconsciously.

"Ah—that's so corny, don't call me that."

Because of these eyes, many people call Qu Le Little Fox, and it seems that this has become her conventional nickname.

But when it came out of Bai Yao's mouth, Qu Le felt a little disgusted.

Bai Yao narrowed his eyes gently, with a charming smile on the corner of his mouth. He retracted his fingers and rubbed them lightly in front of his face.

"Then you have to adapt well."

Qu Le didn't pay attention to Bai Yao's words, and glanced past Bai Yao and secretly looked at the door.

"Did you see Sui and Tang when you came here?"

This was something she was eager to verify at the moment, and she had to ensure that these people did not meet.

Bai Yao pursed his lips thoughtfully and nodded, "I see."

“!”

Qu Le was instantly frightened, his eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Bai Yao.

Seeing Qu Le's reaction, Bai Yao chuckled and said, "But we didn't meet."

Qu Le's eyelids drooped. "...Can you speak without gasping for breath?"

"You only asked me if I had seen him, but you didn't ask me if I had bumped into him."

"Okay...you're right."

Qu Le turned his face away angrily, unwilling to pay any more attention to Bai Yao.

Seeing that Qu Le no longer paid attention to him, Bai Yao leaned over and sat on Qu Le's bed.

He stretched out his bony hand and gently grasped Qu Le's fair, strong arm. His slender fingers rubbed softly between her arms, and he whispered, "Does it still hurt?"

"Fuck!"

Qu Le was startled by his sudden intimate behavior and cursed loudly.

She suddenly shuddered and turned to look at the man beside her.

Bai Yao looked down at Qu Le's injured hand with a deep gaze.

Qu Le felt a pang of fear in his heart when he saw his eyes which seemed to be filled with deep affection and concern.

She frowned slightly and moved her arms slightly, "Don't touch me!"

But when he heard Qu Le's shameful and angry refusal, Bai Yao not only did not let go, but also clamped it tightly, and stretched out his other hand to touch Qu Le's injured side.

"hiss--"

Qu Le gasped when his sensitive waist was touched.

She raised her intact left hand and swung it towards Bai Yao's face with all her strength.

But her strength and speed were no match for Bai Yao.

Bai Yao reacted quickly and raised his hand to grab Qu Le's fist.

Qu Le bit his back teeth and exerted force on his hands. Bai Yao also exerted force, and his knuckles began to turn white.

He forcefully pulled Qu Le's hand down, put it to his lips and whispered, "Don't hit me so hard next time. Haven't you had enough of broken bones?"
