Chapter 143, First Release of Banxia Novel
Upon hearing Lili's name, Tan Yi's expression visibly tightened.
"Lili, Lili has been looking at cat cafes these past few days, so—"
"Xiao Yi."
Bai Rong raised an eyebrow; although her face was still pale, her aura remained strong.
"Don't forget, from childhood to adulthood, I've always found out if you dare to lie."
Bai Rong's tone was unhurried, but her probing gaze fell on Tan Yi's face, causing Tan Yi to lower his head.
"Second sister..."
"explain."
Bai Rong's relentless questioning proved too much for Tan Yi, who was already quite timid among the brothers.
Next, he confessed everything.
After listening to what he said, Bai Rong didn't hesitate at all and immediately called over the police officers guarding her.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital."
"No, Sister Bai, your injuries are still very serious and you need to continue treatment."
Those who were with her, including the doctors, all refused to allow her to leave the hospital.
Tan Yi didn't let her move: "Second sister, the fourth and fifth brothers will heal Lili. Xie Chen and eldest brother are over there too. Don't worry about the treatment, Lili will be fine. Nothing will happen to her."
How could Bai Rong possibly feel at ease?
She took several deep breaths, forcibly calming her emotions.
"Okay, I won't go looking for Lili."
She calmly said, "Give me your phone, I need to make a call."
Tan Yi listened to her, and upon hearing this, he didn't hesitate to find his phone and hand it to her.
A moment later.
Xie Chen, who was with the kitten, received a call from Bai Rong.
"I'll give you the address. Are you willing to take down Joe's hideout?"
"willing."
Xie Chen answered without the slightest hesitation.
Although Bai Rong is unable to move, she has dealt with Qiao for so many years, and she understands Qiao better than anyone else.
The two talked for a long time. After the call ended, Tan Yi nudged Bai Rong.
"Second Sister."
He said to Bai Rong somewhat awkwardly, "There's another person you can use. His family has quite a background, but he didn't develop his career in China; he's based abroad."
"who?"
"Gong Zhe".
Upon hearing the name, Bai Rong pondered for a moment: "Xiao Yi. Do you know that during my last mission, I investigated this family's past?"
Tan Yi: "..."
Tan Yi was stunned: "Did they find out anything?"
Bai Rong patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, although this family isn't exactly innocent, they're not from around here, and their business isn't really based in China, so they're safe."
Tan Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Given Gong Zhe's family background, he is indeed a very useful person.
Bai Rong didn't stand on ceremony with him and conscripted Gong Zhe to cooperate with Xie Chen.
Xie Chen is no naive fool. He has been able to manage the Xie Group steadily for so many years, and that's not because of his looks.
Qiao's actions towards Bai Li were tantamount to touching his sore spot.
Fifth Brother.
On Xie Chen's side, everyone was still in one room. Bai Liu couldn't understand: "Why did that old Wu want to harm Lili?"
They knew Lili's daily life all too well.
His activities are confined to City A, and his daily life consists of nothing but working.
Old Wu's actions, seemingly intent on killing Lili, clearly indicate that he hates Lili intensely.
"I do have an idea."
As Bai Jing spoke, he kept his eyes fixed on Xie Shen: "However, that idea still needs to be verified. I'll tell you after it's been verified."
"Can't we talk about it now?" Bai Liu asked him, frowning.
Bai Jing shook her head and said nothing.
Xie Chen caught the other person's gaze and felt that something was off.
With Bai Jing around, Bai Si's treatment of the kittens became increasingly successful.
Bai Li is now conscious for much longer periods each day than before.
He nestled in Xie Chen's arms, looked at his brothers who were circling around him, blinked, and meowed, "Thank you, brothers."
The older brothers took turns stroking the kitten's head, their eyes filled with smiles.
When Bai Si was recuperating Bai Li's health, he made a new discovery.
“I examined Lili when he was poisoned that day, and the toxins in his body had reached a lethal dose. But strangely, he survived until Xiaojing came.”
Xie Chen was prompted by his words and also recalled something.
"There are spots of light, very soft spots of light."
Xie Chen said, "At that time, I seemed to see a lot of soft light coming from all directions and entering Lili's body."
"Light……"
Bai Jing's thoughtful expression grew increasingly solemn.
Over the years, after the brothers went down the mountain, all the other older brothers and sisters were inquiring about and searching for the treasures of Monster Mountain, but he was different.
Instead of searching blindly, he chose to read books.
He reads a wide variety of books, from world classics to CEO novels, official histories and unofficial histories, geography and folklore—there's no book he doesn't read.
Because he read so many books, he knew everything about the treasures of Monster Mountain and all the gods and demons of the past.
"Let Lili rest a little longer. I need to look up some more things."
Bai Jing made an excuse to change the subject of their conversation.
No sooner had he left than Bai Xiaoliu followed him.
"Fifth Brother, I have many questions to ask you, wait for me!"
Bai Xiaoliu followed Fifth Brother, and Fourth Brother Bai Si didn't stay either.
He went to continue preparing nourishing medicine for the kittens, and incidentally, he gave Xie Chen some instructions.
"It's sunny outside today, why don't you take Lili out to get some sun?"
"Can Lili go out?"
"able."
Seeing that he was still worried, Bai Si took Bai Li's temperature again in front of him.
"There are no more poisons in his body now, and the flare-ups of his illness have been temporarily suppressed. He won't have any problems for the time being."
With Bai Si's comforting words, Xie Chen took the kitten, who had been lying on the bed for several days, outside to bask in the sun.
He didn't go to the courtyard, but went directly to the gate.
Bai Li leaned against her husband's chest, her head resting against his chest.
"gentlemen."
Bai Li looked up at him and suddenly asked, "Have you been to my cat cafe lately?"
His cat cafe is open for business, but he can't be there right now, so he can't take care of the kittens.
"Is the black-footed cat watching? Cat cafe."
Xie Chen lowered his head and kissed his forehead: "Both cat cafes have black-footed cats and Uncle Xie takes care of them."
What you say comes true.
Xie Shen had just finished mentioning Uncle Xie when Uncle Xie sent him a WeChat message.
"Is Lili feeling better?"
“I’ve learned a few more ways to stew tonics. Sir, why don’t you bring Lili and her brother to our house? It’s perfect, I can cook for you while I’m here.”
"Oh, right, I recorded a video of the kittens at the cat cafe. You can show it to Lili when he's feeling better."
Bai Li tugged at Xie Chen's hand and looked at WeChat with him.
"Sir, watch the video!"
Bai Li stretched out her paw and poked at the screen, wanting to watch videos of kittens from the cat cafe.
Xie Chen had him sit on his lap and played the video for him.
In the video.
A group of cats wearing red vests made by Uncle Shepherd, with red ribbons tied around their heads, were all doing the same thing in unison.
"Meow, meow meow!"
Big brother, keep it up!
The kittens know he's getting treatment, so they're cheering him on.
The little cats wearing red vests cheered him on and left him messages with meows.
"Brother, we work hard every day!"
"Big brother, you need to get better soon."
"Big brother, we miss you."
Those kittens that should have been strays are now living in a warm cat cafe thanks to Big Brother, and they are all very grateful.
Bai Li watched the video, replayed it several times, and then reluctantly turned it off.
"Missing them?" Xie Chen asked, looking down at him.
Bai Li raised her hand to rub her face, then nodded listlessly: "I've thought about it."
He wanted to go back and play with the cats, climb the cat tree, play with the cat teaser, and eat the dried fish that his husband fried.
Xie Chen comforted the dejected cat, saying, "Soon, once you're better, I'll take you back home immediately."
"Um!"
The two of them, a person and a cat, basked in the sun for a long time. Bai Li even took a nap in the warm sunlight.
Perhaps it was because he was next to Xie Chen, or perhaps it was because his health had genuinely improved, but this time when he slept, he didn't feel chest tightness as often as before.
He slept very well, and even dreamed of a particularly handsome man.
The gentleman wasn't wearing clothes like he is now. He was wearing a long black robe, his hair was very long and tied up with a jade hairpin, and there was a dot of vermilion between his eyebrows. He was handsome and alluring.
That special gentleman left even the cats mesmerized.
No, that's not right.
He didn't seem to be a cat in his dream.
He didn't know what he was, but he knew he wouldn't move.
The man would hold him in his arms and talk to him, not only talking but also kissing him.
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li was a little shy, but she couldn't avoid it.
In his dream, he and his husband accompanied each other for what seemed like an eternity, so long that he developed a spirit, though it was very, very small.
He's so small, yet he acts incredibly spoiled in front of his teacher.
She wants to be carried when she's tired from walking, she's picky about food, and she needs her husband to stay with her when she goes to sleep. No matter how you look at it, she's not very well-behaved.
Despite his unruly behavior, the master still doted on him.
They spoiled each other for who knows how long, but in the end, their companionship still came to an end.
Bai Li vaguely remembered that she was going to do something big, something very, very big...
It seems that if I do it, I will never see Mr. again.
But he still went eagerly.
The gentleman disagreed, but he couldn't stop him.
The gentleman has become possessed by a demon.
"Meow!"
gentlemen!
The kitten suddenly woke up from its dream and sat up with a thud.
Xie Chen, who was watching him, instantly shut down his computer and turned off his phone screen.
"Lili, what's wrong?"
"Meow."
I had a nightmare.
It was supposed to be a very sweet dream, but in the end, he and his husband separated.
Bai Li didn't like this kind of dream.
"gentlemen."
The frightened cat opened its little paws, looking pitiful: "I want a hug."
He needs his husband to hug him now so he can calm down from the nightmare.
Xie Chen wouldn't refuse any of his requests.
Besides, who can resist a kitten's hug?
Xie Chen held the cat that was having nightmares in his arms and gently comforted it.
"Don't be afraid, I'm right here."
Bai Li nuzzled his face, and through this intimate nuzzling, her emotions gradually calmed down.
Seeing that he was in better spirits, Xie Chen asked him what dream he had just had.
Bai Li didn't tell him.
He didn't want to share his ominous dream with his husband.
Xie Chen didn't press for details. The kitten's body hadn't fully recovered yet, so he had to go along with the kitten's wishes in everything.
Once the sun outside cooled down, Xie Chen immediately took the kitten back inside.
Coincidentally, on his way back, he ran into Bai Jing.
Their eyes met, and Xie Chen extended an invitation to Bai Jing: "Shall we talk?"
