However, she didn't want to...
"Ah Che, he's my only uncle. Given his status, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to sabotage him. I don't want him to take that risk..."
Xiao Che actually had this concern, which is why he didn't report it to his superiors.
However, once he finishes what he needs to do here, no one will be able to easily touch his people. But since things haven't been settled yet, he can't say it out loud.
"Ya Jing, don't worry, I won't report it. Let's put this aside for now and talk about it again when I have the ability to protect him."
Judging from his tone, Bai Yajing roughly guessed that Xiao Che had made such a great contribution this time, and there would definitely be a reward. She just didn't know what it would be.
After finishing her business, she packed up her food basket and stood up. "Alright, I'm going back now. You should eat and sleep well tonight. I don't want to see a skinny monkey when I see you again! You look awful!"
She's all about looks.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che smiled broadly, not minding at all that she said he looked like a skinny monkey.
He affectionately reached out and pinched her nose. "Okay, I promise you. Go back now. Make sure you're covered up in bed tonight so you don't catch a cold."
He can't even hold his sweet, soft wife while sleeping anymore lately! It's so frustrating! Before, when he couldn't have her, at least he could hold her and maybe even kiss her occasionally. But now? He hasn't been able to for a while.
Bai Yajing glared at him and turned to leave the prison.
There were constant wails and pleas for mercy coming from all around, which annoyed her.
After seeing Bai Yajing off, Xiao Che got busy again. He had just interrogated two people that morning, and he still had a lot to do.
········
Having eaten her fill and resolved her doubts, Bai Yajing strolled back to the family compound.
She hadn't decided yet what Xiao Che had just said about having her uncle take over the project.
The situation is so chaotic right now, which makes her very uneasy. Without sufficient self-protection capabilities, she will not drag her uncle into danger again.
Unless Xiao Che ascends to a high position that even the Brotherhood Committee cannot shake, and the Xiao family returns to its original position, the Bai family can be preserved.
She knew from a young age that if her uncle's ambitions and hobbies were to be kept in the countryside for the rest of his life and unable to realize them, wouldn't the days of frustration and unfulfilled ambitions be another kind of cruelty for him?
In her eyes, her uncle seemed to be a bright star in the sky, whose brilliance could never be hidden even if he dimmed for a time.
We'll see what happens next on Xiao Che's side.
She wasn't worried about any unexpected events; if she disagreed, Xiao Che wouldn't report it to his superiors.
In the days that followed, Xiao Che dug out and caught some more fugitives scattered throughout the Northwest, causing widespread panic. Even the Brotherhood Committee dared not confront him, and things calmed down considerably.
