Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Lin Qiao was on her way to see Jiang Anan at noontime, Xiao Licheng and Li Yue Shan arrived where Bai Xuer and Ding Biao lived, having their men surround the apartment before the two noticed.
Bang! The door of the bedroom was suddenly blown up.
The two, who were lying on the bed naked under the blanket, immediately sat up.
“Who are you!” Ding Biao shouted out loud and looked around alertly, seeing a group of soldiers walk in.
“Put on your clothes and come with us,” Xiao Licheng looked at the two and said coldly. Meanwhile, the soldiers had already surrounded the bed and pointed their guns at the two.
“Deputy Chief Xiao, what is happening? May I ask why you broke into my apartment and commanded us to come with you?” Ding Biao calmed himself down as he looked at Xiao Licheng and asked.
“You’ll know when you get there. Don’t ask any questions. Put on your clothes,” said Xiao Licheng to him blandly.
“Put on your clothes!” A soldier who was pointing his gun at Ding Biao said to the two people on the bed. Bai Xuer’s exposed skin did not attract any of them.
Bai Xuer covered her chest with the blanket and glared at the soldiers as she said in anger and panic, “How am I supposed to put on my clothes while you are all staring at me? You’ll see my body!”
“Cut the c.r.a.p! Just get dressed!” The soldier nearest to her yelled at her impatiently. “Or you’ll be coming with us naked.”
Hearing that, Bai Xuer instantly shut her mouth. “At least… pa.s.s me my clothes,” she murmured.
“Get off the bed and fetch them yourself!” The soldier refused to do that without hesitation.
Bai Xuer stayed silent.
“Give her the clothes,” said Xiao Licheng blandly.
The soldier nearest to Bai Xuer’s clothes, which were lying on the floor, picked up them with the tip of his gun and then threw them to the bed.
Ding Biao bent over and picked up his underwear and pants from the floor, putting them on under the blanket. Then, he got off the bed to look for his other clothes.
“Don’t think about running away. You can’t run.” Xiao Licheng said with a cold voice as he noticed the look in Ding Biao’s eyes. Once his voice faded, a soldier suddenly fired at Ding Biao and Bai Xuer. What came out of his gun weren’t bullets, but two needles, each attached to a small tube full of liquid.
Puff!
“Eh!” The needle sank into Ding Biao’s skin once he tried to make a move. His legs instantly went limp, and he knelt on the floor. In a few seconds, his legs grew some strength back, but he could no longer feel his superpower.
“I heard you have a diary that belonged to Jiang Anan’s father. Are you gonna give it to us? Or, do you want us to search this place?” As both of them got shot, Xiao Licheng walked out and sat on the couch, watching his soldiers drag the two out of the bedroom.
“Oh, so you want the diary too?” Ding Biao looked at him and gave a cold smile.
Xiao Licheng shook his head and said, “We don’t want it. We want to give it back to its owner.”
“Give it back to its owner? Jiang Anan is turning into a zombie. Will you ever give it back to her? Do you think that we’re idiots?” Bai Xuer rolled her eyes and said scornfully.
Xiao Licheng shrugged and said, “Who said that we’re giving it back to Jiang Anan? Her mother is also an owner of the diary. You don’t need to worry about that though. All you need to do is give it to us.”
“I don’t have it,” said Ding Biao, “Do you want me to tell you where it is? Do you think I’ll tell that to you?”
“You, of course, won’t tell us where it is so easily. That’s why I am needed.” A woman’s voice was heard from the balcony as Moli walked in from the balcony. Ding Biao and Bai Xuer looked over, but neither of them knew her.
Moli worked in the lab most of the time, so the ordinary hunters like Ding Biao and Bai Xuer didn’t know her.
“I’ll leave it to you,” Xiao Licheng nodded at her and said.
Moli walked over and stood before Ding Biao, looking at him in the eyes. The latter didn’t know that she had spirit power, so he looked back at her fearlessly at first. However, he panicked two seconds later.
“You… You have spirit power! Eh…” Before he could finish his words, his eyes lost focus and his pupils expanded. Meanwhile, Moli stared straight at him; her power has invaded his brain through his eyes.
“She has spirit power?” Hearing what Ding Biao said in panic, Bai Xuer was stunned. She immediately turned to Ding Biao and the woman before her with fright.
“Be quiet!” Xiao Licheng waved at her and said. Following his voice, the two soldiers who had hands on Bai Xuer’s shoulders immediately dragged her to the side, away from Ding Biao.
Bai Xuer panicked after figuring out that Moli was a spirit power possessor, and let herself be dragged to a corner. The more she thought about what might happen, the more scared she got.
She spent two years to become friends with Jiang Anan and tried everything to dig out that diary. Now, it finally fell into the hands of her and Ding Biao. With that diary, they would be able to live a better life in Huaxia Base as long as they left Sea City Base safely.
If Ding Biao gave the diary away, the two of them would have no value in the eyes of Huaxia people.
While Bai Xuer was in a panic, Moli looked at Ding Biao and started talking, “Tell me, where is the diary?”
Ding Biao was wearing no expression, and his eyes were unfocused. Hearing Moli’s question, he seemed to be struggling. So, she repeated the question, “Tell me, where is the diary?”
The unwillingness in Ding Biao’s eyes instantly faded. “Here,” he answered the question obediently.
“Where exactly?” Moli asked another question.
“On the wall behind the headboard in the living room. There is a hidden compartment.”
Hearing that, two soldiers immediately went into the bedroom to search for the diary.
‘We put it in there just two days ago. I can’t believe that it’s gonna be taken out by someone else so soon,‘ thought Bai Xuer.
“Hei, you guys are fast. Have you found it yet?” A woman’s voice was heard from the outside. The people in the room turned and saw some other people come in from the door.
Lin Qiao walked in with a few others. She had her long hair tied up at the back of her head, and her hands were resting in the pockets of her coat. Xiao Licheng immediately stood up from the couch, then nodded at her and said, “We are still looking for it.”
“We found it!” A soldier came out of the bedroom while holding a thick diary.
