Chapter 297 Unlocked
The heating in the study was turned on very high, and there was white steam in the corners of the windows.
A pair of slender hands wiped the window, clearing the hazy glass to create a clear view.
The view outside the window is full of signs of a bleak winter. The leaves of the dead trees have all fallen, and the vegetation in the garden has been replaced with cold-resistant varieties. It is still green, but desolate.
Winter in Milan...it looks like it's going to snow too.
Lu Qian casually put the receiver back on the phone, straightened his coat, turned his head, and said jokingly, "I didn't expect Rex to dare to attack your territory. Southern Europe is fine, but this is East Asia. I really don't think you, the boss, are worth it."
No matter how big the L family is, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, let alone the Baiqing Society is not an ordinary local snake.
Bai Yao leaned against the sofa, calmly took out the cigarette between his teeth, and smiled lazily.
"No wonder. I haven't been back to the Baiqinghui headquarters for three or four months, and the dogs under me are eager to go out and steal food."
He raised his slender fingers, tapped the ashes twice, and put it back into his mouth.
"Besides, isn't Tavia having a hard time either? I'm not the only one he doesn't take seriously. It's just that I'm a hands-off boss now, so I don't have to deal with it myself."
When Lu Qian heard Bai Yao's words, he raised his eyebrows in relief, "That's true."
The unrest in southern Europe is even worse than that in East Asia. Cheng Yi has been away for the past few months and has hardly returned to the mansion.
Over the past few months, the situation has become increasingly clear, and world organizations are watching eagerly to see which of the three regimes will fall first so that these scavengers can pick up some scraps to eat.
The current situation is on the verge of breaking out, but we don’t know who will “trigger” it and how it will “break out”.
Bai Yao raised his hand and nodded twice towards Lu Qian, smiling casually, "You found a good group of people. They are more useful than I thought."
"It's not bad, thanks to Lan Sen. If he wasn't such a lecher, it would have been really hard to find so many beauties." Lu Qian chuckled and shook her head. "And I don't understand, you and Cheng Yi, two such smart people, haven't you ever thought of using a honey trap or something?"
Bai Yao pushed up his glasses and looked at Lu Qian with a confident smile, "I usually don't use tricks when I can just blow something up."
Lu Qian pursed his lips helplessly and smiled awkwardly.
Is this what they mean when faced with absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain?
“Dangdang——”
There was a knock on the study door.
Lu Qian turned towards the door and said, "Come in."
The door was twisted open, and then the maid's respectful voice came from the door: "Miss Lu, Miss Qu invites you and Master Bai to come over."
"I understand. You can go down now."
After the maid left, Bai Yao crushed the cigarette butt in his hand and said jokingly, "Why do they still call you Miss Lu? Shouldn't they call you Butler Lu or something like that?"
"Let them call me whatever they want," Lu Qian pouted. "Besides, Butler Lu... sounds like an uncle, so forget it."
The two walked all the way to the laboratory. Cheng Yi had already returned from outside and was waiting there.
Qu Le heard the noise at the door, turned his head and looked, without beating around the bush: "The letter has been opened."
It was still a little later than Qu Le had expected, but considering the difficulty of deciphering the code, it was already very fast.
She turned the computer screen and presented a blank interface to several people without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet, strangely quiet.
Even everyone can hear their own heartbeat.
Qu Le had been staring at this final document for a long time, but he had never had the courage to open it.
She didn't know what she would face after opening this letter, or what these people and the two gangs would face.
So she chose to face it with them.
Bai Yao looked at Qu Le's furrowed brows, without saying a word, he silently put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.
Qu Le raised his face, looked at Bai Yao, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Cheng Yi stood aside, his expression still cold and forbearing, but Lu Qian could see that his clenched fists were shaking.
Lu Qian leaned over, held his arms with throbbing veins, and pried open all his fingers that he almost wanted to break.
She gently held Cheng Yi's big hand and comforted him softly, "It's okay, I'll be with you, no matter what."
