Lu Ye exhorted Jiang Shengtian to keep the secrecy and take good care of the sixteen people. Then he took Wang Zuochao out and asked them to gather the rest of the people from the Zhongyang Team so that they could return to the team to rest. After that, he went to the side and made a phone call, and asked, “Has she gone back?”
Wen Liansheng looked at the one who was talking to the others while continuing to eat, his expression was getting a little numb: “Yes, she’s back.”
Lu Ye hung up the phone, and Zhuang Qingzai hurried over: “Brother!”
Lu Ye frowned and looked at him: “I still have things to do, I’ll talk with you tomorrow if you have anything to say.” Then walked away directly.
Zhuang Qingzai was stunned for a while, and asked Wan Zuochao with uncertainty: “Does this mean that I can visit him tomorrow?”
Wan Zuochao and the others smiled and didn’t answer. They don’t want to get involved in the boss’s personal affairs.
But after Zhuang Qingzai left excitedly, they immediately started exchanging eye gestures.
Something is wrong with their boss. Speaking of which, he is not a domineering person, but he also doesn’t need to discuss with anyone before deciding a matter. However, this time he said that he should discuss it with someone first. Who is he going to discuss with?
Compared to this, they are more concerned about who owns that hair clip? The boss obviously wanted to cover up something for that person.
Both Lin Tao and Baozi looked at Wan Zuochao: I heard that the boss brought that young lady back, have you seen her yet? Does that hair clip belong to her?
When Bai Xiaohu came, both of them had already come to the Shengtian Team to help, only Wan Zuochao was still in the team residence. Wan Zuochao raised his eyelids: I did see her, very beautiful, but she didn’t wear a hair clip.
The two of them were a little disappointed, but they cheered up immediately: “Let’s go, go back quickly, the boss must have a reason to go back in such a hurry, just keep up and we’ll know.”
The two teams were very close to each other. Lu Ye walked fast and arrived there in less than two minutes. He went directly to the leisure area. Wan Zuochao and the others took a car, and also returned following after him.
The leisure area and the activity hall next to it are very lively right now. When Lu Ye came in, what he saw was a coffee table full of empty plates and bowls. Bai Xiaohu was surrounded by people on the sofa but still looked relaxed and comfortable, holding a small plate of the biscuit and taking one bite after another while talking to the people around her. Sitting next to her was Shi Jian and several other women.
Just like the stars surrounding the moon, even the little black chicken had someone peeling sunflower seeds for it, and the seeds were eaten with great devotion.
People were peeking at her from far and near, but their eyes were a bit strange, mainly because they stared blankly at the empty plate on the table in amazement.
It seems that she gets along well with everyone.
Lu Ye’s eyes fell on Bai Xiaohu’s head. Among the circle of pretty hair deco, there’s one place missing a diamond hair clip, which made the hair there look loose.
He walked over slowly.
When everyone saw him, the originally relaxed atmosphere became a little stiff, as if the serious boss suddenly showed up at a relaxed team-building event.
Lu Ye said: “You guys continue to play, can you come out with me?” The second half of the sentence was said to Bai Xiaohu.
Looking at him from the side, his facial features are three-dimensionally well constructed under the light, his eyes hold some kind of deep meaning, and his aura is calm and powerful.
Everyone looked at Bai Xiaohu.
Bai Xiaohu got too high eating, the whole fox was in a very relaxed and happy state. She had long forgotten the frightened experience of sweating under the stare of Lu Ye not long ago, so she stood up naturally, not forgetting to grab the plate of fragrant and crunchy biscuits along with her: “Sure.”
The little chicken demon immediately dropped the sunflower seeds and flew to her shoulder, unwilling to be alone in this strange environment.
Shi Jian frowned and wanted to keep up. Wen Liansheng smiled and said, “They have something to discuss, so don’t bother them.”
He also keenly noticed that something seemed to have happened.
He turned his head and looked, the two went out one after the other, just happened to bump into Wan Zuochao and the three who came in behind. The expressions of the three were also very strange, staring at the top of Bai Xiaohu’s head one by one.
Bai Xiaohu also thinks these three guys are acting very strange. One looked mature and stable, they seemed to have met once before this afternoon; the other has natural curly hair and looks handsome; the last had a baby face, looks even younger than Pan Gu, and had the most surprise in his eyes.
So, why were they staring at her head? She didn’t have flowers growing on her head, she stroked her head and looked back inexplicably.
The three of them, who were staring at her hair full of decoration, were shocked by her reaction: … so cute, such an adorable lady!
Lu Ye gave them a warning with a slight glance, and the three immediately withdrew their gazes and continued to walk in without squinting, pretending that they had never turned their eyes.
Bai Xiaohu felt that they looked a little silly: “What are they doing?”
Lu Ye glanced at her: “It’s nothing, their eyes are not very good.”
“……” Bai Xiaohu was dubious, really?
……
There are many trees planted around the office building, including trees with blooming flowers and tall evergreen trees. There is also a large lawn behind the office building. It is not full of debris like the Shengtian Team and is well maintained.
There are also many flowers and plants planted on it, with strange-looking stones, stone pavilions, stone tables, and several winding paths. At the end of the lawn is the river, and there is a sparse bamboo forest along the river. On the other side of the bamboo forest, near the hotel, several warehouses were built.
So, even though the Zhongyang Team may say that they only have two buildings, it actually covers a very large area.
This is not counting the breeding plantations that are a little farther away from here.
At this moment, some people were walking around the lawn. Lu Ye took Bai Xiaohu to a quiet place by the river, and after making sure that no one could hear their conversation, he took out the hairpin from his pocket and paid attention to Bai Xiaohu’s expression at the same time.
By the light of the street lamp nearby, Bai Xiaohu took a look: “What is this?”
Lu Ye: “…Don’t you think it looks familiar?”
Bai Xiaohu ate a piece of biscuit: “It looks familiar after you say that.” But where have I seen it?
Together with the black chicken on her shoulder, she tilted her head and looked at the hairpin, the two looked exactly the same stupidly.
Lu Ye looked up at her hair.
Bai Xiaohu touched her head: “Why are you looking at my head again…” She touched the hairpin, then remembered something, pulled it out, and placed it with Lu Ye’s hand. The two hairpins are very alike, but not exactly the same, slightly different in shape.
Bai Xiaohu suddenly realized: “Yours looks like the one on my head. Do you want to ask where I got it from? Then ask Shi Jian, she brought it to me.”
Lu Ye: “……” Lu Ye was anxious and dignified at first and wanted to ask her how she did it, who she was, and whether she appeared in Qiu Mountain by chance, or something else. However, when he meets her oblivious as if her brain were wired completely differently and is not on the same channel as normal beings, his temper almost disappears completely.
He even thought that he was a bit silly for being serious.
He said helplessly, “This is what fell from your hair.”
“Ah?” But they are not the same, Bai Xiaohu pulled out another hairpin, and the strand of hair that lost two hairpins at once, fell, hanging down her cheeks, but she ignored it. Then, she checked the three hairpins side by side and found that although they are not exactly the same, and each has its characteristics, they seem to be from the same set.
When Shi Jian was braiding her hair, she was too busy looking at how she was doing her hair in the mirror and didn’t pay much attention to what the hairpins looked like.
“But when did I drop it, and how did it end up in your hands? Where did you pick it up?”
“Team Shengtian, sixteen infected people, broken glass.” Lu Ye said directly, he found that he had to be more direct with her. It’s not that she is pretending not to understand and trying to fool you, she for real did not understand!
Every time he said something, Bai Xiaohu’s face changed a little. She really didn’t know how to hide her emotions. Even though the lights were a little dim, Lu Ye could see the surprise and the little cautiousness on her face.
Bai Xiaohu’s eyes flickered: “You, you, you…… how did you know? Did I leave my hairpin there? No, you can’t say that I went in just based on this, right?”
Lu Ye was silent for a while before saying anything: “No, but your reaction at the moment speaks for itself.”
Bai Xiaohu glared at him: “You tricked me!”
Lu Ye opened his mouth and had no words for a while, feeling very wronged. He didn’t mean that, and did she need to be tricked? She put everything on her face!
Bai Xiaohu sat on a stone with some frustration, and pulled a leaf from a bamboo next to her: “If I had known it would be so easy to be discovered, I would not have climbed the window.” She went around the building so many times, just like a thief.
She grabbed the bamboo leaf and poked her face, and then blew it away. She grabbed the biscuit and gnawed it very hard.
Seeing her childish behavior, Lu Ye couldn’t be serious at all. He sat on a stone diagonally opposite and said softly, “The sixteen people are basically fine.”
Bai Xiaohu nodded, she knew.
“You wanted to get in contact with those infected people earlier because you want to save them?”
“No.” Bai Xiaohu was honest, “I wasn’t sure if I could save them at the time, and I just wanted to take a closer look.”
Lu Ye, who was feeling guilty for not agreeing to her request and made her end up climbing the window: “……”
“You mean, this is your first time saving the infected?”
“Yea.”
“Then can you save all the infected or only those sixteen people?”
Bai Xiaohu thought for a while: “I’m not sure unless the person is in front of me, but it should work for all.”
She didn’t seem to have encountered any difficulties when pulling out the demonic energy from those sixteen people.
She thought that her spatial treasure still needs good deed points—she refers to the ‘things’ that fly out of the infected person’s body after saving them as good deed points. To save a lot of infected people, she planned to take the initiative to find infected people tomorrow, but she was worried that something would go wrong.
She decided to consult Lu Ye: “Do you know where there are many infected people?”
“You still want to save people?”
“Yes.”
Lu Ye looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled, his expression softened a lot, and he said: “Infected people will become zombies completely within an hour or two, so they cannot exist for a long time, but many show up in the base every day. If you open a clinic and set up a stall, saying that you specialize in treating infected people, you will become so busy that you don’t even get to take any break.”
Bai Xiaohu’s eyes lit up: “Can this be done?” Then she got a little worried, “I won’t be arrested, right?”
Judging from the memories she got, no one can treat the infected here. A small ordinary healing person can become an important resource for all forces to compete for. She’s worried that she will get knocked out and kidnapped.
Then they would lock her up somewhere in the dark, only allowed to treat infected people for some specific people. Then she’ll become a tool for making money, or they might just be sent directly to some underground research institute, where they sliced her up for research and so on. Regardless of which, it’s scary.
Lu Ye was a little surprised: “You understand logic?”
Bai Xiaohu said: “Of course, I’m not stupid. When everyone around me is too useless, I can’t appear to be very capable, because I will be jealous and persecuted.”
This is what the second brother said. She remembers the teachings of her brothers very firmly.
Lu Ye said, “Aren’t you worried that I’ll be jealous and persecute you?”
Bai Xiaohu blurted out: “No, you are also very capable!” A person who can strike lightning with his bare hands is extremely capable, okay?
Lu Ye choked for a while and looked at the girl who looked as if what she said was the ultimate truth. He was stronger than many people and was admired and feared by many people, but only this time, he felt a strange sense of joy in his heart.
Is it because she was the one who praised him?
Lu Ye coughed to cover up his gaffe, and then felt a little helpless, thinking, you are not stupid? If you are not stupid, how could one see through you in such a short time? Even without the hairpin, he would have already suspected her.
She showed too many tell’s feet.
And this little fool, even when he put the evidence in front of her, didn’t even realize that she had been exposed.
This little girl with such abilities, such a character, such a mind, and such an appearance. If she is not protected properly, she will be gnawed to the bone in two or three bites.
Lu Ye suddenly had such a thought in his heart.
Bai Xiaohu: They look like dummies
Lu Ye: Good girl, let’s go home for dinner
Translator: Bai Xiaohu is just like a cute little house pet who doesn’t know how to plot anything >W<
