Chapter 100 Overestimating One's Abilities
Qu Le looked at the CD in Bai Yao's hand and clenched his fingertips suddenly.
"mean."
It turned out that Bai Yao had deliberately released this news in order to make them think that there was no copy of this report.
Bai Yao pushed his glasses lightly, lowered his head and nodded slightly in front of Qu Le, "Thank you for the compliment."
“…”
Qu Le suppressed the turmoil in his heart, swallowed silently, and lowered his voice: "You...don't cause trouble for him."
The smile on Bai Yao's face became more arrogant. "I want to cause trouble to someone. Can Miss Qu stop me?"
Qu Le raised his head, stared at Bai Yao, and said through gritted teeth, "So what do you want?"
"Come with me, I'll let him go."
"Keep your word."
Bai Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of sarcasm in his evil eyes. He raised his hand to push up his glasses and said coldly, "I think it's a bit presumptuous of you to talk to me about this now."
Qu Le turned around and looked at the sniper standing on combat readiness in the window, his brows furrowed for a moment.
"...You must take your people back first."
Bai Yao curled his lips coldly, put his hands behind his back, and gently waved his fingers.
"Everyone, go down."
After receiving the order, the machine gunner and sniper in the house all retreated, leaving only two people confronting each other in the house.
Qu Le felt his mood had calmed down a bit, so he put the watch back on his wrist. He wasted a few seconds, thinking that Luo Chuan wouldn't get suspicious.
After putting on the watch, her face suddenly turned cold, and she asked Bai Yao in a deep voice: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I want to chat with Miss Qu. Is there anything wrong?"
Qu Le stared at Bai Yao's evil smile, and the speechlessness in his heart instantly became greater than the panic.
"Are you sick or am I? You went through so much trouble, spreading false information, and even threatening me, just to chat with me?"
Bai Yao smiled calmly, leaned over in front of Qu Le, and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you if you say that?"
The voice was so gentle that it seemed like flirting, but the content was so horrific.
Qu Le blinked indifferently and tilted his head to look at Bai Yao's handsome profile as he approached. "If you want to chat, don't you want something to drink? I'm thirsty."
Bai Yao was stunned by Qu Le's question, and a hint of disbelief was hidden behind his glasses.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Qu Le raised the base of his palm, rubbed the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Bai Yao, "Oh, it's a lie to say I'm not afraid of you."
"But since you've already caught me, what's the point of being afraid? If you want to kill me, and I'm afraid, then you won't kill me?"
"But if you're alright, I won't keep you company. I need to go back to sleep."
Bai Yao's gentle smile gradually turned cold, he blinked twice, and the enchanting brown teardrop mole at the corner of his eye trembled slightly with his muscles.
"Did the disciple of the Divine Thief Qingshan Yue really die in the explosion five years ago?"
Qu Le was stunned when he heard Bai Yao's words, then he laughed playfully: "Haha, Master Bai is really well-informed. He can even dig up things from so many years ago."
There is no point for her to hide it now. Since Bai Yao can tell it, he must have obtained solid evidence.
Bai Yao heard Qu Le's joking reply and bent down gently, breathing warmly into Qu Le's ear: "For so many years, you've been hiding in Luo Chuan's shadow, using his name to hide in Tavia. Do you think it's comfortable?"
Qu Le's ears were tickled by this sudden intimate gesture, and he subconsciously turned his head away.
"Heh... Mr. Bai, you investigated me in such detail. I almost thought you had a crush on me."
Bai Yao smiled and said, "Miss Qu is really funny."
Bai Yao's tone then suddenly took a turn for the worse, sounding slightly melancholic: "As a master thief, you destroyed your own lock-picking hand. Don't you ever regret it?"
The moment Qu Le heard these words, his heart trembled a little.
According to the rules of the thieves' sect, people can leave, but their skills must remain.
A thief's skills are nothing more than a pair of hands.
Although the explosion that year did not destroy Qu Le's hands, she could no longer open the high-precision lock, which also cut off her escape route as a thief.
Qu Le has a love-hate relationship with his hands.
It was these hands that gave her the capital to survive and be sent away from Lupinos. It was also these hands that made her go through so many years of hell.
Sometimes, she would look at her fingertips that would occasionally tremble slightly, and even after five years, she would still feel heartbroken.
But the person she is facing now is Bai Yao, and any fluctuations of emotions and desires will in turn become the blade that stabs back at her.
This man's cunning is simply unfathomable.
"Heh... Mr. Bai is really good at using psychological tactics. With such acting skills, I almost thought you were really sad for me."
Seeing that Qu Le was completely unimpressed, Bai Yao stopped pretending to be stunned and went straight to the point: "RE's neural chip can cure your sequelae."
"As long as you can return the original data to me, I will provide you with free treatment."
"Of course, I'm also willing to give you a new identity so you don't have to live in the shadows anymore."
Qu Le suddenly remembered what Bai Yao said to her in Fuso.
——"I hope that one day I can offer the price Miss Qu wants."
Qu Le chuckled lightly, with a hint of self-mockery: "Haha, Mr. Bai, congratulations, you really offered a good price."
"But you've made a mistake. I'm not Jesse, much less Claude. Now that I've chosen this path, there's no turning back, let alone taking a different path."
"Besides, I've heard about Mr. Bai's methods. There will be no good outcome if I cooperate with you."
Qu Le dodged past Bai Yao and casually threw the tissue he was using to wipe his fingerprints into the trash can at the door.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Bai Yao stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned his back to Qu Le and said calmly: "I want you to fight with me."
When Qu Le heard Bai Yao's unreasonable words, he was so suspicious that he was speechless.
That’s it?
Qu Le tilted his head slightly, and said in a carefree tone: "Why should I fight with you?"
Then she walked straight to the door, her slender hand about to touch the door handle.
Before the door opened, Bai Yao's cold voice came from behind: "Because I know what you want."
"If you win, I'll destroy Cheng Yi's genetic report. If you lose, I'll destroy the drug data. You win either way. How do you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Le's eyes darkened. He turned around and said with a smile, "Why should I believe you?"
"Once something is observed, it collapses rapidly."
"Uncertain things are the most likely, aren't they?"
Bai Yao smiled nonchalantly, his face extremely calm.
"Ms. Qu Le."
“…”
Qu Le put down his hand that was on the door handle, pinched his slender waist, raised his face, took a deep breath, and let out a sigh.
Bai Yao turned around and looked at the girl's back. The moonlight shone in from the window, and the shadow cast by the man's tall and strong body almost completely enveloped her.
She was now like a wild fox caught in a hunter's trap.
Bai Yao looked at the girl's back with interest, her long hair scattered. His voice was still calm and gentle: "What do you think?"
Qu Le turned slightly, glanced at the calm man behind him, and responded lightly.
"I'll add one condition: if I win, the drug data will be destroyed."
"make a deal."
