Chapter 566: How Can She Die If She Doesn’t Attempt It?
Gu Yunqing turned around abruptly and saw Jing Fei rus.h.i.+ng in. He was holding a cup of hot tea that had just been brewed. With an ingratiating smile, he rushed to Xiang Huai’s side and slowly put down the tea. “Boss, care to have a taste of this freshly brewed biluochun[1]?”
Xiang Huai slowly reached out with his long fingers.
He pinched the teacup, but it also felt like he was pinching Gu Yunqing’s neck and lifeline.
Gu Yunqing took another step back and was even more in disbelief. “B-Boss?”
She gulped. Lin Jing’s son was famous for being useless. How could he be the boss of the special department? That’s not right. Wasn’t the boss of the special department Jing Fei?
She pointed at Xiang Huai and asked, “You… Aren’t you the boss?”
The moment she said this, Jing Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise. “Of course not. Boss is the boss. Why would it be me?”
Gu Yunqing: “…”
Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
She raised her head and watched Xiang Huai drink two cups of tea before putting down the teacup. The small white jade teacup landed on the tea table with a crisp sound.
Gu Yunqing shuddered.
She gulped. “You… You can’t kill me. You can’t kill me…”
Just as she said this, she suddenly thought of something and shouted, “I, I can capture Fang Fang! As long as you guys listen to me, I can capture Fang Fang! I will be very useful to the department!”
Jing Fei did not speak and looked at Xiang Huai.
The entire lounge was silent. After staring at Gu Yunqing for a while, Xiang Huai snorted and said, “Alright.”
This response was said lightly, but it seemed to be announcing Gu Yunqing’s fate.
She heaved a sigh of relief and slowly got up from the ground. She did not even dare to straighten her back as she stared at Xiang Huai and said, “I-I need a few people.”
Xiang Huai casually waved his hand. “Give it to her.”
Jing Fei: “…Alright, I’ll arrange a few for you.”
Seeing that Gu Yunqing had yet to leave, Jing Fei frowned and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“No, nothing more!”
Gu Yunqing then turned around and left the lounge.
After she left, Jing Fei complained, “Boss, this person will definitely come up with some rotten idea again. She might even harm Sister Xi. How can you agree to it?”
Xiang Huai picked up the teacup and Jing Fei hurriedly walked over to fill it up for him.
Xiang Huai stared at the door. “How can she die if she doesn’t attempt anything?”
These words made Jing Fei tremble.
He actually did not understand why his boss arranged for such a person to enter the special department. He originally thought that his boss wanted Sister Xi to torture her.
But it turned out… she was already a dead person in Boss’s eyes!
Jing Fei could not help but wipe his non-existent sweat. “Boss, you’re so scary!”
The scariest thing about the boss was that as the boss of the special department, he had to strictly abide by the rules. However, every time he killed someone, it would have to be within the scope of discipline.
However, since Gu Yunqing was already a dead person in his boss’s eyes, why did he have to go through all this trouble?
He did not understand and could only listen to him.
If a day came when he understood him, he could be the boss!
…
…
In the cell.
Xue Xi and Yu Da sat on opposite sides of the table. Yu Da was wearing a gray prison uniform and had his hair shaved, but this did not affect his handsomeness.
After staring at each other for a long time, Xue Xi suddenly asked, “What’s your special power?”
Yu Da extended his hands that were cuffed with special handcuffs. “Mechanical hands.”
He moved his fingers. “They’re more nimble and faster than a machine.”
No wonder he was a hacker.
Xue Xi nodded in realization.
After being locked up, Yu Da did not seem to have suffered much. He looked fine, but his mental state was a little weak. He slowly said, “Sister Xi, help me pa.s.s a message to Fang Fang.”
Xue Xi paused. “Speak.”
Yu Da lowered his eyes and said, “Run. Run as far as you can. After that, completely hide your ident.i.ty and don’t use your special power for the rest of your life. Wu Tu will help you get a new ident.i.ty.”
Xue Xi was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “Are you going to take the blame for her?”
Yu Da instantly lifted his head and looked around. His eyes were filled with vigilance.
Xue Xi said, “There are no surveillance cameras here.”
Only then did Yu Da heave a sigh of relief. However, he then turned to look at Xue Xi. “I’m the mastermind. Everything was arranged by me, so I’m not taking the blame.”
Xue Xi clenched her jaw and remained silent for a while before suddenly asking, “Did Fang Fang really kill someone?”
Yu Da clenched his jaw. After a while, he nodded gently.
Her last hope was dashed.
Xue Xi frowned.
The two of them fell silent. After a long while, Yu Da suddenly said, “Sister Xi, I really like Iron Man.”
Xue Xi paused.
Yu Da said in a daze, “Since I was young, my favorite has always been the Marvel series. Among the people in it, my favorite is Iron Man.
“I knew from a young age that I was different from others. When any machine was in my hands, it was as though I was born to install it. Therefore, at that time, I had a dream of becoming a hero. I dreamed that one day, when the aliens invaded Earth, I could protect Earth like Iron Man does.
“Speaking of which, it’s funny. I should have joined the army, but my parents didn’t allow it and forced me to study electronic science instead. They felt that this future would be good for me.
“I was forced to compromise by reality. Later, when I joined the club, I seemed to have found a goal and direction. I could finally enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, even though I was on the verge of touching the law.
“I thought I was infallible and felt that Liu Zhao deserved to die, so I killed her. However, after a life was lost, I suddenly realized that we are no different from murderers.”
Xue Xi did not know how to reply.
…
An hour later, Jing Fei flew over and sent Xue Xi off.
Before she left, Yu Da smiled at her.
Xue Xi suddenly asked, “Why didn’t you suspect that I leaked the club’s name list?”
Yu Da said, “Even if it’s you, I don’t hate you. From the moment Liu Zhao died, I’ve known that this day would come.”
Xue Xi retracted her gaze and silently left with Jing Fei.
She sent a message to Fang Fang: “Yu Da wants you to leave. Moreover, the structure here is complicated. The chances of you being jailed are zero.”
She was not helping Fang Fang, but she was trying to stop such a possibility. She was afraid that she would do something wrong on impulse.
Xue Xi took Xiang Huai’s car and returned to school.
That night, she could not sleep. She did not know how many times she had to turn around before she fell asleep.
The next morning, when she woke up, she saw Jing Fei’s WeChat message: “Sister Xi, Gu Yunqing brought someone to capture Fang Fang today. I’ll send you her location.”
The location he sent was the orphanage.
Xue Xi thought of Fang Fang and thought, Oh no!
