Chapter 235 Look Down on Me

“Dangdang.”

The two had just reconciled when there was a knock on the laboratory door.

Qu Le turned his head and saw half of Lu Qian's head appear at the door through the glass on the door.

She pointed to the door, "Xiao Qian is here."

Bai Yao lowered his head and pecked her on the cheek before slowly letting her go. "Yeah, I saw it."

Qu Le ran to the door of the laboratory and opened it for Lu Qian. Lu Qian was stunned when he saw Qu Le, who was full of joy.

Why does it seem like the whole world is happy today?

Qu Le pulled Lu Qian into the lab, exclaiming as they walked, "How bizarre! My brother actually let you in?"

Lu Qian tilted his head in confusion, "Didn't your brother tell you? He went to Spain and hasn't been around for a few days."

Qu Le shook his head, "No, when did he leave?"

"This morning, he was gone when I got up."

Lu Qian walked in and smiled at Bai Yao, "I heard there was some unrest in Spain. It happened suddenly and it was quite difficult. He left in a hurry with only Ling Shuo."

Upon hearing this, Qu Le smacked his lips and nodded.

She also knew that Cheng Yi was the busiest person in recent times. He worked around the clock almost every day and had to be careful about spies all the time. But he was such a proud person that he would never let others know how tired he was.

"You two should go discuss this matter outside," Qu Le pulled Bai Yao's arm and pushed him towards Lu Qian. "I have a lot of tasks to do today, so don't get in my way."

Anyway, Cheng Yi is not in the mansion, so Bai Yao will never meet him, and there is no need for him to stay in the laboratory all the time.

Moreover, the code left by Qu Hao was much more difficult than Qu Le had imagined. The decryption task had been going on for almost a week, but there had been almost no progress.

She needed to overturn her own decoding ideas and rewrite the script.

Bai Yao pursed his lips and cursed softly: "You have no conscience."

Qu Le stuck out his tongue and made a face at him, "Omitted."

Lu Qian glanced at the bickering two people and chuckled softly, "Then I'll borrow Bai Yao first."

It was said to be borrowed, but it was just staying next door, separated by a wall.

…

"Their subordinates are already taking action in Fusang. I have asked Chixiao to go back and monitor them."

Bai Yao crossed his legs and sat back on the pure black sofa, staring at the map full of marking points on the glass in front of him.

Lu Qian lowered his eyes, leaned against the conference table and said lightly: "They moved very quickly."

Bai Yao's expression was serious and indifferent. "I guess Rex has already planted spies among the various factions, just waiting for the order to activate."

What Bai Yao hates most in his life is unfaithful dogs. If he finds out that there is someone unusual in the Bai Qing Society, even if the person is dead, he will dig him out and tear him into pieces.

Lu Qian asked in disbelief, "So many people died, and so many riots were sparked, just to intimidate us?"

What exactly is Rex planning?

Bai Yao shook his head with a cold expression, "That man is so cunning that it makes me sick. I don't know what he wants to do."

Lu Qian raised his hand and tapped the Southern Europe map. "Could the unrest in Spain be related to him?"

Bai Yao shook his head again. "The situation in Spain has always been serious. The Baiqing Society also fought for that territory, but it was too far from my power center, so I never got it, and then it fell into Cheng Yi's hands."

"So this unrest may not be related to the L family."

(ps: I really don’t like typing the full name, so the Lupinos will be referred to as the L family.)

Bai Yao continued, "There's been a lot of unrest in Australia lately. Some of these old guys are probably getting restless."

Unrest in the world will almost always be spread to underworld organizations around the world immediately. For top forces, information asymmetry is everything.

Lu Qian asked in surprise, "How could Rex stir up such a big storm?"

She didn't know what kind of powerful force was behind the L family, but judging from Bai Yao's expression, this matter was not ordinary.

Bai Yao scanned the map with a cold gaze and spoke in a very serious tone, "A family that has been dormant in Europe for hundreds of years, their side branches are beyond your imagination.

Arms, drugs, politics, pornography, all the black or white fields you can think of, they have a part in it.

Rex is the pinnacle of power in the L family. All his actions and orders have ripple effects throughout the entire family. Even I find it difficult to predict this butterfly effect."

No wonder Rex wanted to deal with Cheng Yi so much. In such a position of power, how could he allow such a big threat as Cheng Yi to exist?

Lu Qian frowned and sighed, "If a minister is strong, he will die; if he thinks nonsense, he will perish."

Hearing this, Bai Yao raised his head and looked at Lu Qian, "Have you even read this book?"

Lu Qian seemed to have not expected Bai Yao to say such words to her. She showed a helpless expression and curled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, "Master Bai, your words make me feel that you look down on me."

Bai Yao seemed to think his words were a bit rude. He lowered his head, awkwardly pushed his glasses up, and coughed and laughed: "Ahem, sorry, that's not what I meant."

"I just thought that the book didn't get good reviews and that few people would read it."

Lu Qian looked calm, his brows relaxed, and he smiled and replied, "Haven't you seen it too?"

Bai Yao smiled and nodded, "That's right."

"That's all for today," Lu Qian capped the marker and casually tossed it on the table. "We've discussed everything that needed to be discussed. The rest will be dealt with as we go along."

Cheng Yi has been away for some time, so there is only so much they can do, and it is useless to think too much.

Bai Yao didn't seem to want to leave. He just sat on the sofa and casually took out a cigarette case. "Do you mind?"

Lu Qian smiled and shook her head, "Cheng Yi smokes too."

Bai Yao lit up a cigarette and said, "I heard from Qu Le that you just met them two months ago?" He spoke in a chatty tone.

Lu Qian casually pulled away the stool beside him and sat down in a relaxed posture.

"About two and a half months." Lu Qian thought for a moment and said.

Bai Yao lit a cigarette and glanced briefly at the delicate-looking woman in front of him.

"Then you've made rapid progress," he said affirmatively.

Lu Qian was a little surprised to hear Bai Yao praising her like that, but she accepted it quickly.

She acted helpless and cast a disappointed look at Bai Yao, "I was forced to do this."

Bai Yao exhaled the smoke from his mouth, "Who forced you to do this? Cheng Yi?"

Lu Qian denied it, "I pushed myself."

Bai Yao became quite interested when he heard this: "Yourself?"

Lu Qian deepened her smile and complained to Bai Yao, "Being with a man like Cheng Yi, you have to push yourself a little. Otherwise, what if he runs off with someone else?"
