Nanjiang City, Twilight Inspection Team Nanjiang Branch.
Big Sister, we found out the reason why they gathered here!
A youthful-looking woman cried out, waving a piece of stationery in her hand as she looked at Liu Yao with excitement.
Liu Yao frowned as she took it, then tore it to shreds without even looking at it.
Who else besides you has seen the contents of this letter?
Seeing the torn letter, the youthful woman suddenly grew anxious, quickly bending down to pick up the pieces bit by bit while saying aggrievedly: What are you doing? I worked so hard to bring this out for you to see.
Answer me, Xiao Jiu.
Liu Yao’s tone was so icy it made one shiver.
Xiao Jiu shrank her head back, stopped her movements, and said honestly: Just me…
Only you?
Xiao Jiu nodded, then tilted her head up and said: While dragging away that cowardly fellow, this letter suddenly fell out of his pocket, so I pocketed it myself…
Liu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said: Xiao Jiu, remember that this matter must not be publicized, especially to the Captain.
Why? This is a great chance for us to earn merit!
Liu Yao shook her head without explaining, turning instead to ask: Xiao Jiu, where is the latest batch of blood plasma that was sent over?
On the way, of course.
No, I mean the specific location.
A flash of wariness crossed Xiao Jiu’s eyes.
She felt that Big Sister was very off today—first, she refused to let her report the actions regarding the Midnight Society, and then she asked for the location of the blood plasma.
It was hard not to draw certain conclusions.
Big Sister, you know the logistics rules.
If you are running short, I can spare a bottle of mine for you first.
Liu Yao laughed in spite of herself and said: That is not what I meant, Xiao Jiu.
Keep it for yourself.
Xiao Jiu nodded thoughtfully.
Xiao Jiu, do you still remember who brought you here?
It was you, of course.
If it weren’t for you, I would have long ago…
Noticing Liu Yao’s complicated gaze, Xiao Jiu finally seemed to understand something.
She took a half-step back, unwilling to meet Liu Yao’s eyes any longer.
…
Xiao Jizi, that whoever-she-is is quite good to you; the food she cooks is much better than mine.
Her name is Jiang Jianyue.
Shen Ji was just about to reach his chopsticks toward the food when Ye Xi snatched the lunch box away.
You…
What about me?
You told me yourself that she specifically told you to wait for me to eat together before she left.
Can you finish that much by yourself?
None of your business.
Ye Xi ate while glaring at Shen Ji.
They say if you want to catch a man, you must catch his stomach first; she wasn’t going to let another woman succeed.
Shen Ji shook his head helplessly and went to cook instant noodles for himself.
Just then, Shen Ji’s phone rang.
Hello, Sister Liu, have you found out the location of the blood plasma?
At three in the morning, the latest batch will arrive at the Nanjiang highway exit.
The license plate number is: Nan A0928.
Okay, I understand.
Do you need me to go with you?
No need, Ye Xi and I can handle it.
Alright, call me anytime if anything happens.
Ye Xi pursed her lips around her chopsticks with lingering desire and asked: The blood plasma location is clear?
Shen Ji’s mouth twitched as he looked at the perfectly clean lunch box.
It had only been the duration of a phone call!
Three in the morning, Nanjiang highway exit. We are leaving now.
Wipe my mouth.
I say, Ye Xi, you are going too far.
It’s one thing to eat everything yourself, but you want me to wipe your mouth too?!
So?
Ye Xi crossed her legs in a queenly manner and said faintly: Xiao Jizi, do you still want this sister to go with you or not?
Fine, fine, I’ll wipe it.
Ye Xi smiled triumphantly, then closed her eyes, waiting for Shen Ji to approach.
Shen Ji picked up a tissue and moved closer slowly, as if treating a rare treasure, wiping with gentle movements until Ye Xi’s rosy lips were revealed.
Let’s go.
Ye Xi nodded with satisfaction, took Shen Ji’s arm, and they went downstairs together.
The distance of a few flights of stairs was neither long nor short, but along the way, Shen Ji’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
For no other reason than the strange sensation coming from his arm always made his imagination run wild.
Fortunately, the moment they stepped outside, a cool night breeze blew by, clearing the stray thoughts from Shen Ji’s mind and making his goal gradually clearer.
He had originally come to this world wanting to lay low, that much was true, but one thing after another kept pushing him forward, leaving no room to hide.
Even in this process, Ye Xi seemed to be walking into his heart bit by bit.
This couldn’t help but make him think of his heartless idea from the beginning.
Ye Xi.
Mhm?
If one day I sold you, what would you think?
Ye Xi said without hesitation: I would miss you.
Miss me for what?
Just that I couldn’t see you, I would miss you.
Shen Ji shook his head and chuckled.
Although the two of them didn’t seem to be on the same wavelength, he knew clearly that Ye Xi seemed to be a total romantic?
How are we getting there?
Ye Xi suddenly stopped and looked straight at Shen Ji.
Where is your car?
That is the Ye family’s car.
What does it have to do with me?
Shen Ji slapped his forehead.
He never expected that the first step of the plan would be hindered by transportation.
No matter how you put it, your last name is still Ye.
Your family is truly heartless.
No, from now on please call me Mrs. Shen.
Because of you, I have been kicked out of the house by Ye Hai.
Just then, a taxi drove by the roadside.
Shen Ji quickly waved for the driver to stop.
Young man, where to?
Master, do you want money or not?
Sticking to the principle that the customer is God, the driver suppressed his anger and explained: Young man, taking a taxi costs money, of course. How could I not want money?
No, Master, we are buying the car.
A cloud of dust swirled up, leaving the driver staring blankly at his phone with an extra 400,000.
There truly are many good people in this world!
…
Inside the car, Ye Xi gripped the steering wheel skillfully, asking in surprise: Where did you get so much money?
Shen Ji rested his hands behind his head and said with a calm face: Wang Kai insisted on giving it to me.
I had no choice but to accept.
Ye Xi nodded, then suddenly said: By the way, are we still going to school tomorrow?
Shen Ji joked: The world is waiting for us to save it.
To hell with school!
Ye Xi smiled in agreement and stepped on the gas to the floor.
In an instant, the bright red taillights cut through the black night sky.
…
On the highway, inside the blood plasma transport vehicle, a man with extremely heavy dark circles under his eyes was yawning incessantly when a sudden phone ring jolted him awake.
Captain Mu, where are you now?
Almost there.
I’m about to enter the Nanjiang highway exit.
Is something wrong?
Nothing.
I just feel like all of this seems too real to believe.
Mu Qingxin smiled: Old Thief Ye, you and I have plotted for so long; it is only right to have today’s results.
After a brief silence, Ye Hai changed the subject: Mu Qingxin, if we fail, please take care of my daughter for me.
Mu Qingxin’s bloodshot eyes were brighter than ever as he said with a firm tone: We will not fail.
