Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Xiao Lin, how are you guys?”
Just as Bai Lin was at a loss, Zhou Guangs call connected to her earpiece.
It seemed that Zhou Guang and the others had been successfully rescued.
“We’re fine. The ceiling collapsed and blocked the exits on both sides. I’m not injured, but Yan Ruffs arm is a little grazed.” Bai Lin’s calm tone finally made Zhou Guang feel a little relieved.
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find a way to get you out,” Zhou Guang said.
After Bai Lin hung up, she asked Yan Ruo, “According to your plan, how long do we need to get out?”
Yan Ruo pondered for a moment before replying, “I’ve lost contact with one of my subordinates. I’ve sent people over at the last minute, so we might have to stay here for another two hours or so.”
“That’ll be quick. Is there anything you need me to do after we get out?” Bai Lin knew that Yan Ruffs plan was to hide their whereabouts. After they left, they could not be exposed. That was why she asked.
In Yan Ruffs mind, Bai Lin was free to do whatever she wanted. No matter what she did, he would find a way to cover for her. However, he was still happy that Bai Lin was thinking about him.
“If you’re willing, you can come with us, or you can do your own things. I’ll take care of everything here,” Yan Ruo replied, his voice containing his usual smile.
Seeing Yan Ruo like this, Bai Lin knew that he had completely adjusted his emotions, and she was relieved.
Yan Ruffs people would definitely be faster than the people from the production group, but it would still take at least two hours. How were they going to pa.s.s the time?
If Bai Lin was the only one here, she might have chosen to take the initiative and break open a path through the collapsed ruins.
However, she had to consider Yan Ruo.
Even if she did not know what he was planning, she was willing to help him.
Bai Lin was not a talkative person, but she wanted to talk to Yan Ruo for the first time in this s.p.a.ce where the two of them were alone.
The explosion had stopped for a long time. Other than the small corner they were hiding in, the outside was probably completely destroyed.
As soon as they crossed the wooden bridge, Bai Lin had taken a good look at the terrain on this side. An emergency plan quickly formed in her mind, which allowed her to react immediately when the explosion occurred. This was why the two of them had such a narrow but safe shelter.
“Does your arm hurt?” Bai Lin suddenly asked.
Only then did Yan Ruo remember that he had used his arm to block a falling rock for Bai Lin, and a tingling sensation came from his wound that had been neglected for a long time. He reached out to touch it and replied, “It doesn’t hurt, it’s just a scratch.”
If there was even a little light, Bai Lin would not believe his words.
There was a long and narrow wound that was covered in dried blood on Yan Ruffs arm. The two sides of the sc.r.a.ped wound had small pieces of cement and gravel in them. In addition, there was a large and obvious bruise.
Yan Ruo fumbled around to lean against the wall and sat on the ground. Perhaps it was because he was influenced by Bai Lin’s gentleness, or perhaps it was because he wanted to get closer to Bai Lin, he closed his eyes in the dark and asked, “Xiao Lin, aren’t you curious about what I’m going to do?”
This sentence was like a signal to start a conversation, but the topic that was about to unfold did not seem to be suitable for an idle chat.
“I’d like to hear the details.’
Bai Lin was silent for two seconds before she agreed easily.
At a time like this, the topic of conversation was no longer important to her.
Since Yan Ruo was willing to tell her, then she was naturally willing to be closer to him. She was also willing to understand him a little more.
“These people are not only targeting you, some of them are also targeting me.” After receiving Bai Lin’s confirmation, Yan Ruo went straight to the point and started chatting with her.
“It’s odd that Quicksand Mercenary came on Traveler. I’ve sent someone to investigate it.” After a pause, Yan Ruo told Bai Lin apologetically, “Xiao Lin,
I’ve also investigated you. I’m sorry.”
Bai Lin was not surprised by this. Even though she had not investigated Yan Ruo, she knew that he was not a simple person after hearing the term od address “President Yan”. It was normal for her to be investigated.
As for how much and to what extent they could find out, that would depend on whether Yan Ruffs ability or her ability was greater..
