He Lingyu took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, finally calming down a bit.
"Qin Bai, why did you... this morning?"
“These three people on the list have problems. You decide what to do.”
Before she could ask any questions, Qin Bai handed her a piece of paper.
"So fast?"
"Don't forget whose territory this is. It's easy for Boiling Sheep to find out a few people."
He Lingyu was somewhat incredulous when she saw those three names.
After a while.
“I know what to do. Don’t let Pierre interfere with the rest. You can call on the other people on the list.”
"Okay, thank you."
The list is the one Qin Bai asked He Tiancheng for yesterday.
These are all overt or covert clues planted by the He family here.
His purpose in getting the list was simple: to have Fei Yangyang investigate whether their backgrounds were clean.
Similarly, in return, those with clean records would all be put to Qin Bai's use.
The two of them were tacitly aware of this matter. Although they hadn't discussed it beforehand, as business partners, they still had this level of understanding.
"Everything here has been cleaned up. When are you planning to make your move in Kyoto?"
He Lingyu narrowed her eyes: "Did you find anything?"
"No, but when we were in Kyoto, we made up a story about He Tiancheng stealing the painting, just to prevent the news from leaking out, right?"
"That's right."
"It seems there's a lot of trouble in Kyoto. Can you handle it?"
He Lingyi said proudly, "We are just waiting for the right opportunity."
Qin Bai laughed and said, "Alright, I won't worry about that side. Are you ready to answer my question?"
"Most of the information is already revealed, what else do you want to ask?"
"Who exactly is behind you?"
"Heh~" He Lingyu sneered: "Qin Bai, your ambition is too big. You want to know about the boss before you've finished the job. That's not in accordance with the rules."
"Rules? Sorry, I am the rule."
"You should understand how beneficial this will be for you."
Qin Bai said calmly, "I know. As long as I help you get back the remaining 7 paintings, I will be a hero when we return to Kyoto."
"Whether it's the political arena or the military, they will give me enough time to develop and have a fair fight with the Luo family."
"Your intentions are to balance the power in Kyoto and essentially kick Luohe out."
"So, as long as I complete this task, I will be in an invincible position."
A hint of surprise flashed deep in He Lingyu's eyes.
She hadn't expected Qin Bai to be able to deduce the entire game from the smallest details.
"Since you've guessed so much, there's no need for..."
"but."
Qin Bai's expression suddenly changed, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
“I’m a very suspicious person. I won’t trust anyone who doesn’t know who’s behind the scheme. Besides, who cares about the life or death of a pawn? So, He Lingyu, you’d better get that person to contact me, or else… I’m quitting.”
He Lingyu said anxiously, "Qin Bai, what are you going to do? I advise you to think it through. Not everyone has this opportunity."
"Opportunity? Ha!" Qin Bai sneered. "I don't like gambling, and I don't like entrusting my life to someone I can't see."
"This isn't just one person's problem, it's..."
"Stop." Qin Bai interrupted her: "I told you before, I don't have what you call righteousness in my heart. I just want to live, do you understand? Just to live simply."
He Lingyu wanted to say something, but seeing the determination in his eyes, she remained silent.
Now that things have come to this point, it can be said that Qin Bai has unique advantages in completing the mission.
After hearing He Tiancheng's account of what happened yesterday, she asked several times, still unable to believe the truth of the matter.
From her perspective, Qin Bai had become friends with the ruler of the Blue Wave Kingdom within a few hours.
And they were even on good terms.
She thought about it all night but still couldn't figure out what kind of magic Qin Bai possessed that allowed him to thrive no matter where he was.
This is very unscientific.
Two people who had just met started pouring their hearts out to each other?
When did the adult world become so simple?
If she didn't know Jade didn't date, she would have thought Qin Bai was using his good looks to seduce her.
He Lingyu did not doubt the truthfulness of Qin Bai's words just now; this person was too ruthless and decisive in his actions.
If he really decides to quit and leave, no one can stop him.
The two stared at each other for a long time.
She sighed, "I understand. Wait a few minutes, I'll make a call."
"Please go ahead."
Watching He Lingyu's retreating figure, Qin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
The mystery is about to be revealed.
It feels great to hold the lottery ticket in your hand and draw the results.
The key point is...
He already knew the corresponding numbers and order.
It's like homework with copied answers, just waiting for the teacher to grade it.
After a while, He Lingyu came in with her phone.
"The call isn't over, you two can talk."
Qin Bai glanced at the name on the screen.
?
He almost burst out laughing.
You're using something this old-fashioned?
It's a good thing you're using China Mobile; if you were using another telecom company, you would have been caught long ago.
He took the phone and held it to his ear.
"Hey, big brother, is Qingyan with you?"
He Lingyu was so shocked by his words that she almost jumped up.
He stammered, "You...you knew all along?"
