Xia Che was a little confused by Han Xinyue's seemingly random words.
What does it mean to "not tell yourself the source of the information"?
Does it mean that anyone who has inquired about you can tell you?
"Someone is asking me about me, and you can't tell me how you got that information, right?"
Xia Che quickly realized what Han Xinyue meant and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in where this news came from. I'm more curious about who's asking about me."
“That’s right. After we parted ways, I made some inquiries and found out that the other party doesn’t seem to know much about the rules of the underworld and isn’t hiding their identity.”
Hearing that Xia Che wasn't curious about the source of the information, Han Xinyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because she really had no way of explaining to Xia Che where the information came from.
Who is the other party?
Upon hearing this, Xia Che's eyes lit up immediately. Ever since the man with the goatee told him that someone wanted to kill him, Xia Che hadn't said anything on the surface, but he had been very concerned about it in his heart.
He couldn't imagine who would be so eager to take his life.
An enemy that appears in the open is not scary; what is scary is one that lurks in the shadows.
If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
For example, the Xing family desperately wants to take their lives, but they have their own armed forces. Every member of the Xing family action team is an elite, including top assassins, so they don't need to seek help from outsiders.
No outsider can use it as comfortably as someone from your own side.
Hiring outsiders carries the risk of leaks...
Therefore, the name of the Xing family only appeared in Xia Che's mind for a moment before disappearing.
If it's not the Xing family, then who else could it be?
Xia Che pondered the matter but could not find an answer. When he heard that there was news about Han Xinyue, he couldn't help but feel excited. Could it be that this person was finally about to surface?
"Although I know someone is asking about you, this person is most likely not... the one the goatee mentioned who's been looking for you. This person looks like a complete novice, wandering around the black market like a headless fly. Even if such an idiot wanted to kill you, I think it would be a good thing, not something to worry about..."
Before Xia Che could be happy for long, Han Xinyue poured cold water on him.
Could someone so stupid really be the kind of terrifying person that the man with the goatee speaks of so highly?
"...That's true."
After a brief moment of surprise, Xia Che realized that what Han Xinyue said made sense, and he couldn't help but sigh, his mood plummeting. This contrast made him somewhat annoyed.
"So, do you still want to hear news from that person?"
Han Xinyue tilted her head slightly and asked.
"Speak up. Since we're already here, even if this person isn't a threat, I still need to be careful, right?"
Xia Che knew the principle that idiots could defeat experts. Perhaps it was precisely these clueless novices who were more likely to cause him harm.
"He's an elderly man... well, not quite, around fifty years old. He doesn't have much hair, but he seems a bit straightforward. He believes whatever people tell him, and there's one crucial distinguishing feature..."
“He’s been asking around about you. My friend told me he seemed pretty angry, especially after seeing the new information released by the police department. He’s determined to find you no matter what.”
"Although we have temporarily delayed him, this person will definitely not give up."
Han Xinyue pursed her lips, her expression showing some disgust, as if mentioning it made her feel a little nauseous: "This person's nose was bitten off by something, a small piece is missing, and there's a really scary scar, it looks quite disgusting..."
What?
Xia Che was stunned for a moment.
Something bit my nose...
They were also angered by the new information released by the police station.
With these characteristics combined, the answer should be obvious, right?
"Finally couldn't sit still anymore, huh...?"
Xia Che's lips curled up slightly.
Counting the time, a day has passed, and it's indeed time for Lao Gou to receive the message that Xiao Yihan posted.
At first, he might have just wanted to find the person who stole his peaches, which is why he went to the territory that Han Xinyue was unwilling to reveal to inquire about his situation. During the process, he received a new message from the police station that someone was impersonating Chu Yuying to swindle people and had stolen his peaches.
That's why I'm so angry...
"And then? Where did that person go afterward?"
Now that the old dog has shown his face, Xia Che felt it was time to arrest him.
"I don't know. He was very vigilant. Although he was a bit slow-witted, he never revealed his name. After failing to find out anything, he secretly slipped out the back door. No one saw where he went."
Han Xinyue shrugged. If she hadn't left a message beforehand, telling her to inform her immediately if anyone inquired about Xia Che in her territory, she might not have even known about this.
Because so many people come to her every day asking about others, it's impossible for her to remember everyone.
"Okay, I understand."
Xia Che nodded thoughtfully, then smiled at Han Xinyue, "Thank you, this information is very useful."
"I don't know what you did... but that person doesn't seem like a good person. He certainly wasn't asking about you out of gratitude. Anyway, be careful."
Han Xinyue patted Xia Che's shoulder in a condescending manner, "As the strategist, I don't want to receive news that you'll suddenly die one day."
"Don't worry, I'm very tough, no one can take me away."
Although Han Xinyue initially gave him the impression of being a rather troublesome woman, it seems that his views on her have quietly changed quite a bit.
"They're gone."
Xia Che waved his hand, saying that he had said everything he needed to say, and that they could save the rest for when they met next time.
He doesn't like to explain everything at once, as it gives Xia Che the illusion that he's about to die.
That's very unlucky.
"Wait a moment!"
Unexpectedly, seeing that Xia Che was about to leave, Han Xinyue quickly grabbed Xia Che's sleeve, somewhat exasperated: "You're just leaving like this? I'm leaving... I helped you so much, and you're not even going to give me your contact information?"
"Do I really have to bring this up myself? You ungrateful wretch, you'll get your comeuppance!"
Han Xinyue looked like an enraged kitten, baring her teeth and snarling, as if she might pounce on Xia Che and bite him at any moment.
"Oh dear... I forgot about that, I'm so sorry."
Xia Che slapped his forehead and gave an awkward laugh.
Given their current relationship, and with Han Xinyue bringing such useful information, exchanging contact information is really nothing; in fact, not exchanging it would seem a bit unreasonable.
