Chapter 350: Why Are You Here?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon after walking into the building, Lin Qiao felt that someone came in behind her. She turned back and saw a man and a walking onto the stairs.
“Miss. Yan, you could have simply sent us to bring the message to those Hades Base people. Why did you come yourself?” The young man said to the tall, slim, and pretty lady before him.
“Because I wanted to come here,” said Yan Fangyu, “I’m afraid you might not be able to make it clear.”
The young man was a little speechless. “It’s just one message. How wrong can we possibly make it? You’re lying. You’re here to see their handsome Deputy Chief,” he said.
Yan Fangyu glanced back at him and said, “You don’t have to say it out loud.”
“Lady, you can like anyone, but why did you fall for an outsider?” said the young man, “There are so many great men in our base. You’re going to make them despair!”
While walking, Yan Fangyu turned back and rolled her eyes toward the young man, then responded, “That’s my business. Even if I didn’t fall for an outsider, I wouldn’t take a fancy to those men in our base.”
“Why?” The young man was confused.
“No reason,” said Yan Fangyu, “Maybe love hasn’t arrived yet.” After saying that, she winked at the young man.
Lin Qiao was going to turn herself visible. However, as those two walked up while chatting, she had no choice but to stay invisible. She stood aside and waited until they had gone upstairs, then followed behind them.
‘Who’s this woman? She actually fancies our Tianxing! But, I’ve already decided to save him for my little sister ,’ thought Lin Qiao as she followed the two to Lin Wenwen’s door and saw Wei Jingchen and Xing Le guarding by the door across the hallway.
“Eh? Why are you guarding here? Are you protecting Miss. Lin?” Yan Fangyu asked with surprise.
“Miss. Yan, good to see you! Are you here to see our Deputy Chief?” Xing Le nodded at the two and asked.
Yan Fangyu smilingly nodded and said, “Yeah, I’m here to see him.”
“Wait a moment,” Wei Jingchen responded, then turned around. He knocked on the door before opening it and shouting toward the living room, “Boss, Deputy Chief Yan is here to see you.”
Yuan Tianxing and Du Yuanxing paused for a second, then glanced at each other. “Why is she here?” asked Yuan Tianxing.
Du Yuanxing shrugged and said, “Ask her.”
“Let her in,” said Yuan Tianxing toward the door. Then, Yan Fangyu and one of her subordinates walked in.
Yan Fangyu gave Yuan Tianxing a very warm smile while greeting him, “Good evening, Deputy Chief Yuan!”
Yuan Tianxing and Du Yuanxing both stood up. The former pointed at a couch and replied with a polite smile, “I said, don’t call me Deputy Chief. Please take a seat. Is there anything important that made you come here so late at night?”
Yan Fangyu sat down, her subordinate standing at a meter behind her.
Du Yuanxing turned around and poured her a gla.s.s of water, then placed it on the tea table before her.
“Ah, I’m here to tell you to be careful,” said Yan Fangyu, “Especially the two girls among you… They have been targeted by one of the three leaders of this base. I think you won’t be able to bring them out of this base easily now even if you want to. Also, you guys might get into troubles as well. So, you should better raise your vigilance.”
Yuan Tianxing gave a faint smile and responded, “Ugh, if you’re talking about Yang Chao who has eyes on Lin Wenwen, we’ve already known about that. We do plan to leave as quickly as possible.”
Yan Fangyu looked at him with surprise and said, “Eh? How did you find out about that so quickly? Not many people knew about it. Has someone else delivered the message to you?”
Yuan Tianxing showed her a meaningful smile while answering her questions, “You’re right. Some other people visited us before you. But, I’m surprised that you came here too. It’s quite late now.”
Yan Fangyu didn’t care about what he said. Keeping that confident smile on her face, she said, “Huh, are you saying that what I’m doing now is unnecessary? I came here late at night to tip you off, and you’re not going to thank me?”
Yuan Tianxing shook his head and said, “How can I possibly mean that? I didn’t say anything like that.”
At that moment, Lin Wenwen opened the door of the bedroom just far enough to look out, then asked a question to Long Qingying, who was behind her, with surprise.
“Qingying, who’s that woman outside?”
Long Qingying put the piece of cloth which she had been wiping her blade with on the table, then put the blade back into the sheath. After that, she put the blade on a chair and stood up to walk toward the door.
She looked outside from behind Lin Wenwen, then said, “I don’t know, but I can recognize the way she looks at Deputy Chief. It seems that your rival in love has shown up.”
“Em, I felt it,” Lin Wenwen nodded and said. The look in her eyes was a little inexplicable.
The two of them closed the door but left it unlocked, then quietly listened to the conversation happening in the living room. Soon, they discovered that the pretty woman outside actually came here with the same purpose as Lu Tianyi.
Long Qingying frowned and said, “Quite some people are minding others’ business tonight. This woman is clearly here for Deputy Chief, but who were those men here for?”
Hearing her words, Lin Wenwen suddenly had a thought in her head. She turned to Long Qingying and said, “Eh, that man who came earlier is named Lu Tianyi, and Miss. Lu is named Lu Tianyu. After hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that there might be a connection between the two of them!”
Long Qingying looked at her and also gave a start.
Yan Fangyu didn’t linger for long. After learning that some other people had delivered the message before her, she had a short casual chat with Yuan Tianxing, then left with her subordinate, wearing her ten-centimeter tall heels.
Those high heels didn’t cause any difficulty for her in walking. Among all women in this base, only she wore super high heels every single day. She walked stably and quickly with those heels, without being extra careful at all.
Of course, anyone who attempted to bully her because she was wearing heels would suffer.
After the beautiful Yan Fangyu had left, Lin Wenwen and Long Qignying came out of the bedroom.
“Who’s that pretty lady?” Lin Wenwen sat on a couch and asked curiously.
Yuan Tianxing responded, “Ah, a Deputy Chiefs of this base.”
“She’s a Deputy Chief?” said Lin Wenwen with surprise, “No wonder she has such a strong vibe. It turns out that she’s a leader. She’s so pretty. She must have so many suitors, and those shouldn’t be ordinary men.”
Du Yuanxing was immediately attracted by this topic. “Yeah, I heard that if the men in this base who are pursuing her lined up, the line would extend from here to an entrance of the base. She’s like the G.o.ddess in this base, and she’s single.”
“You’re drooling,” said Long Qingying.
Du Yuanxing gave her a wicked glance and said, “Hehe, are you jealous?”
Long Qingying rolled her eyes and said, “Psycho! What to be jealous of? No matter how many men are pursuing her right now, she’ll eventually be with only one man.”
At that point, Lin Wenwen was thinking about another question—what was the relations.h.i.+p between Lu Tianyu and Lu Tianyi? Lu Tianyu was from Sea City Base, but why didn’t she go home since she came back here? Are there people in this base who know her?
