Chapter 89 Bait
The moonlight is hazy and the night is silent.
Haru Takeshita squatted on the edge of the sofa, looking at the grand scene in front of the Berlin Royal Hotel through the floor-to-ceiling windows from the 30th floor of the building.
There was a clattering sound of footsteps behind her. Without even turning her head, she pulled up a bright smile at the corner of her mouth, revealing two protruding little fangs.
"Boss, they ran away~"
Bai Yao walked to the window, raised his hand to gently push his glasses, and a comfortable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“I see.”
Zhuxiachun propped up his chin with both hands, shook his head and said, "It seems that the lock was opened by that little fox~ Woohoo, she is so powerful, no wonder Senior Brother Luochuan likes her so much."
There was no trace of displeasure on Bai Yao's face. Instead, he glanced indifferently at the group of people who were leaving.
He leaned forward into the sofa and leaned back gracefully.
Takeshita Haru tactfully poured him some wine and handed it to Bai Yao.
Bai Yao took the wine glass and swirled it in his hand. Through the moonlight obscured by clouds, his expression showed a hint of satisfaction.
"The women around him are more capable than I thought."
Takeshita Haru shrugged indifferently, looked at Bai Yao with wide eyes, and there was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"What should we do? Boss, we invested a lot this time and got nothing. I can't swallow this."
"Haha..." Bai Yao chuckled softly, "I don't know what to say to you. I think you enjoyed this mission so much that you want to continue."
"slightly."
Takeshita Haru did not deny it. He playfully stuck out his tongue at Bai Yao and continued to glance out the window.
"I quite like that handsome red-haired guy. Can you catch him and let me play with him?"
"You're just giving me problems. It's not that easy to catch Tavia's twin demons," Bai Yao said, taking a sip of his wine. "If you want them, find a way yourself."
Zhuxiachun pursed his lips slightly and snorted softly: "Tsk... Cheng Yi was so difficult to catch, but you still caught him, stingy guy..."
Bai Yao seemed to be amused by Takeshita Haru, "Heh...you're picking on me."
"I wouldn't dare," Zhuxiachun shook his head. "If Wang Jue hears me picking on the boss, he'll kill me with a knife."
Bai Yao smiled gently and said nothing.
Zhuxiachun seemed to have thought of something, and frowned playfully as he looked at Bai Yao, "Wang Jue is so devoted to you, why doesn't the head of the family give her a seat?"
Bai Yao gently took off his glasses and snapped them together in his hand. His fair skin had a kind of morbid beauty under the moonlight, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye added a bit of evil charm to his gentle face.
On the slender white hand, a ring on the little finger shines in the dark, paired with the rich red wine in the hand, it is like a vampire hidden in the night, tasting blood.
"I just need a loyal dog. She wants too much," Bai Yao said, looking at Takeshita Haru with a gentle look in his eyes. "Have you ever seen a hunter let his hunting dog fall in love with him?"
"I don't understand," Takeshita Haru shrugged silently, "Let's get back to what happened just now. What should we do next?"
Bai Yao crossed his legs, sank into the sofa, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
"Spread the news about Cheng Yi's genetic report."
"ah?"
Takeshita Haru was stunned.
Bai Yao treasures Cheng Yi's genetic report very much. Even people like her who are present at the Baiqing Club cannot really see it.
Even researchers developing drugs can only grasp part of the information in blocks.
Zhuxiachun may understand that this is Bai Yao's respect for Cheng Yi.
Respect for the only opponent he acknowledged.
Bai Yao wants to spread the news of the report? What exactly does he want to do?
Bai Yao saw Takeshita Haru's surprise. His long eyelashes trembled twice, and his eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling.
“If you want to catch big fish, you have to be willing to use bait.”
After hearing this, Takeshita Haru's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
She stood up and jumped off the sofa, smiling and bowing respectfully to Bai Yao.
"Yes, Master."

"...Brother Tang," Lu Qian sat in the car, looking at Cheng Yi lying on her lap, tears streaming down her face, "I hope Cheng Yi is okay..."
"It's okay. Jiang Luan has already given him an inhibitor, and the bleeding from the gunshot wound has stopped. We'll take him back to the Hoffman family's pathology laboratory and he'll be fine after a few days of observation."
Although Sui Tang said this, Lu Qian could see him smoking one cigarette after another rapidly, the smoke and melancholy lingering together, swirling and rising.
Even with the car windows open, the anxiety couldn't escape, and Lu Qian was so overwhelmed by his worries that he couldn't breathe.
Lu Qian looked at the man in her arms. She had never seen him so miserable and weak.
He has always been so lazy, casual and arrogant, and his cold and arrogant look seems to be engraved in his bones.
How could he be so vulnerable?
Lu Qian couldn't stop her tears, they fell on Cheng Yi's face. She reached out to wipe them away, but new tears fell again and she couldn't wipe them away at all.
She had no choice but to hug Cheng Yi's shoulders and neck tightly, pressing him close to her thin body, as if this could give him some warmth.
Sui Tang couldn't bear to look at the thin figure. He frowned and looked out the window. The cigarette in his mouth tasted bitter, so astringent that he couldn't open his mouth.
Lu Qian opened her little hands and gently stroked Cheng Yi's face, from his eyes to his eyebrows... then to his nose bridge and lips.
This face is so familiar yet so strange.
Normally, when she turned over while sleeping, Cheng Yi would wake up.
But no matter how she tried, Cheng Yi would not give her any response.
The sports car sped all the way and stopped in front of a huge villa building that looked like a hospital.
At the top of the villa, a huge relief plaque is engraved with the word "Hoffman".
A group of medical staff in white clothes stood in front of the brightly lit building.
Jiang Luan got out of the car and kept giving instructions to everyone in front of him in German.
That was a serious and passionate Jiang Luan that Lu Qian had never seen before.
Lu Qian couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
I could only follow them and watch them push Cheng Yi into the pathology intensive care unit.
Lu Qian clung to the door of the ward, but could only watch as the curtain was drawn and Cheng Yi disappeared from her sight.
Sui Tang silently put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Xiao Qian, go get yourself bandaged and rest first. Cheng Yi is fine."
"I'm fine, Brother Tang, can you let me wait for him here? I want to go in and accompany him..."
Lu Qian's eyes were red as she pulled at Sui Tang's sleeve.
Sui Tangjun's face wrinkled, and he pursed his lips slightly, "Given Cheng Yi's current condition, it's not appropriate for you to stay with him."
"Don't worry, he's fine."
Lu Qian still refused to give in. She looked around the long corridor and said, "Then I... I'll just wait here."
"Let me stay here..."
"I just want to see him wake up..."
Suddenly, Lu Qian felt a dull pain in his neck, his vision went dark, and he slid straight down.
"I'm sorry... Xiao Qian."
Sui Tang sighed lightly and retracted his knife.
Then he picked up Lu Qian and handed her to Qi Huang who was standing beside him. "Take her to get bandaged and give her some sedatives so she can get some sleep."
Qi Huang hummed in agreement and carried Lu Qian out of the ICU.
