Chapter 1040: The End of Bai Xuer and Ding Biao
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Puff! Jiang Anan pulled her stone fingers out, generating a slight noise. She didn’t look at Bai Xuer, who was falling to the ground with her eyes popped, but raised her b.l.o.o.d.y fingers and looked around in the room. She soon found a boxful of tissue to wipe her fingers.
Bai Xuer’s body thudded against the ground, her expression frozen on her face. Those widely opened eyes of hers had become l.u.s.terless and lifeless. Ding Biao was standing nearby, under the control of Moli’s power. He was standing there silently ever since he gave the location of the diary.
Jiang Anan glanced at Bai Xuer’s dead body, then turned to Lin Qiao and the others and said, “I killed her. You’re not gonna arrest me, are you?”
After all, killing was not allowed in the base.
Lin Qiao gave Xiao Licheng a glance.
“Of course not! She was going to die anyway, so are Ding Biao and his team. They’re all criminals who sold the intelligence about our base. They’ll all be executed anyways,” Xiao Licheng shook his head and said.
Jiang Anan instantly turned to Ding Biao and furrowed her brows slightly. She hated Bai Xuer for lying to her. Ding Biao was her confederate, so she wanted to kill him too.
She thought for a moment, then brought the diary to Xiao Licheng and said, “This is the first book of my father’s diary. I’m giving it to you. I can’t make use of it anyway… I was going to give it to Sea City Base.”
Xiao Licheng took it over, then opened it and leafed through. In the diary were some handwritten notes about the studies of all kinds of mutated plants.
After giving away the first diary book, Jiang Anan looked at Lin Qiao and said, “Let’s go and get the second book now. I put it somewhere else.”
Lin Qiao glanced at Ding Biao with surprise and asked, “What about him? Aren’t you gonna finish him yourself?”
Jiang Anan gave Ding Biao a cold glance and said, “I’ve already found my father’s diary. I have no interest in taking his life now. He’s not gonna end well anyway. His life is meaningless to me. I only wanted to kill her.”
While speaking, she blandly glanced at Bai Xuer’s body.
Lin Qiao looked at Bai Xuer, then smiled and sighed, “You see, if they left once they got the diary, all this wouldn’t have happened. However, this Bai Xuer tried to bring me trouble when she saw me. If she didn’t do that, she might be still alive.”
Jiang Anan looked at Lin Qiao with confusion. She and Bai Xuer were friends for a long time, so she surely knew that Bai Xuer had an issue with Lu Tianyu. She also knew what kind of a person Lu Tianyu used to be.
But no matter how, she could not fit the new Lu Tianyu into the image of the old one. She somehow felt as if they were two different people.
Soon, Lin Qiao and her people left while Xiao Licheng and his men stayed to clean up the scene.
Teng’s one-month-old party would take place the next day. Wu Chengyue planned to throw the party at night, because people might not have time for it during the day. Qiu Lili and the others should be able to make it back before the party started as well.
Thinking about them, Lin Qiao raised her head toward the Lake Tai area when she came out of the building.
At that moment, Qiu Lili was controlling a few enormous fiery tornadoes and chasing a group of people who were running desperately for life.
Her level-seven tornadoes weren’t something that the level-seven tornadoes created by Yue Xiaoxian and Liu Mingsong could compare with; her tornadoes were destructive. The roofs and windows of the surrounding buildings had all been rolled up into the sky. Even some walls had been torn into pieces, hovering in the sky along with the tornadoes
The glowing red, fiery tornadoes brought up scorching hot air streams as they swept across the entire area. Everything that was rolled into the tornadoes was torn apart and burnt into ashes.
Five tremendous tornadoes connected the earth and the sky, looking like fire dragons. They would make for a beautiful scenery at night, but during the day, all they did was burn the sky red.
“Run! Run!” The elites from Huaxia Base were on the run, not panicking though. They were trying their best to find an opportunity for survival. They were certainly not able to escape on the surface of the ground. They needed an underground path, such as sewers, to hide from the fire dragons.
“Are you people trying to hide? If I let you guys go back to Huaxia Base alive, I will write my name backward!” Qiu Lili floated in the sky as she looked down at those running soldiers.
“Miss, writing your name backward won’t change your name at all,” Yue Xiaoxian, who floated by her side, said to her.
Her name was Lili. If would still be Lili even if it was written backward.
“I’ll write it upside down then, okay?” said Qiu Lili.
“Sure…” Yue Xiaoxian responded, while thinking that it wouldn’t even be a word then.
Behind the tornadoes, the scattered teammates had reunited. Lin Wenwen looked at Long Qingying and asked with concern, “Are you okay? Is your injury serious?”
Long Qingying was standing straight like a perfectly healthy person. But, Lin Wenwen watched her get shot and fall earlier on. Of course, Kong Qingming had saved her. Besides, she still looked pale.
“I’m good,” Long Qingying slightly shook her head and responded to Lin Wenwen, “I won’t die.”
In the outside world, only life-threatening situations would be counted as serious.
“Oh,” Lin Wenwen looked at her, then at Kong Qingming, who was right by the side. He was so clingy to her. He even followed her when she needed to go to the bathroom. Thinking about how the dark-faced Long Qingying threatened to cut him with her katana, Lin Wenwen smiled.
How come all Sea City Base men pursued girls like that? Did Kong Qingming learn that from Wu Chengyue? He was much more shameless than Wu Chengyue though. He had a pretty face, but unexpectedly, what was hiding under it was a shameless soul.
Long Qingying was always unfriendly to her suitor, yet confusion and hesitation were detected from her eyes. Lin Wenwen believed that Kong Qingming would have a chance to win her heart if he tried harder.
It seemed that Long Qingying didn’t know what to do. The fact that Kong Qingming risked his own life to save hers earlier made her hesitate. Lin Wenwen felt that putting Long Qingying under Kong Qingming’s protection was not a bad thing. After all, he was pursuing her with a very serious att.i.tude.
Li Yue Shan moved to Lin Wenwen’s side and asked her curiously, “How long do you think it’ll take for your best friend to surrender herself?”
Lin Wenwen gave him a glance, then said with slight disdain, “You don’t seem to want him to succeed. Are you jealous of him?”
Li Yue Shan looked at her with surprise and said, “Yeah. I don’t like watching people in sweet love because I’m still single. But you, you look like you want them to be together. Am I right?”
“Won’t that be great?” said Lin Wenwen, “I’m fine with it if he truly loves my Qingying and will always be nice to her. Besides, Qingying needs a man to keep her company. She always stays with me… So, I just can’t abandon her and find myself a boyfriend.”
“Eh… So, do you think that she’s hindering you?” said Li Yue Shan.
Lin Wenwen shrugged silently.
