Qin Hanyue: "I sent you a message last night."
Qiao Ying: "I know."
Ye Si was about to break down the door outside, but the two were still chatting.
Qin Hanyue: "Don't you want to clarify for yourself?"
After all, Ye Si's words were quite tasteless.
Qiao Ying: "Don't you know it wasn't me who sent it?"
Qin Hanyue smiled: "Of course I know."
Qiao Ying packed up her things and said to Qin Hanyue, who had put on his clothes: "It's cold, pay attention to keeping warm." She then went to open the door.
"I will." Qin Hanyue felt much better in his heart instantly.
Just two seconds before Ye Si kicked the door, Qiao Ying opened it.
The moment he saw Qiao Ying, Ye Si instantly restrained his unruly aura and smiled brightly at her: "Baby~"
After going downstairs,
Qiao Ying asked Qin Hanyue to go back and take an antipyretic: "If your head still hurts tomorrow, come find me again if it's not too much trouble."
Qin Hanyue: "Okay."
Ye Si: "Why are you still not leaving?"
Under Ye Si's cold gaze, Qin Hanyue walked out of the villa alone.
Qin Yan looked at Ye Si and Qiao Ying at the door of the villa, and then at his third master walking out alone in the cold wind.
He sighed sympathetically: My poor third master who no one loves!
In the car, Qin Yan comforted: "Third Master, don't worry, I don't think Miss Qiao would like someone with Ye Si's temperament."
"Besides, they seemed to have known each other for a long time. If there were any feelings between them, they would have gotten together long ago. You need to take care of your health."
Qin Yan was still quite puzzled in his heart. He was fine yesterday afternoon. How did he suddenly fall ill after waking up this morning?
The third master's physical constitution had always been stronger than ordinary people. How could he suddenly fall ill this time? Could it be that he was angered by Ye Si?
However, this illness came at a timely moment.
Qin Hanyue glanced out the car window. The door of the villa was already closed.
Ye Si: "He doesn't look like someone who gets sick easily either. He didn't get sick early or late, could he be pretending?"
Qiao Ying: "Are you questioning my medical skills?"
"I'm saying he brought this illness upon himself."
"Wasn't that something you used to do frequently?"
Ye Si had done such foolish things before, and not just once or twice, but many times, repeatedly pushing his body to the brink.
Just to get Qiao Ying to treat him.
At the slightest pain on his body, he would pretend in front of Qiao Ying.
Over the past few years, Ye Si still didn't think his behavior back then was stupid. On the contrary, he felt that he was very smart.
"I just wanted to see my baby more often."
Ye Si's words made Qiao Ying involuntarily turn to look outside the villa. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the car had already left.
"Baby, how much did you charge him in consultation fees?"
"In M State, he gave me more than ten boxes of military supplies."
Not only military supplies and needles, but also this villa.
"M State?"
"His Shangdi Armament."
Ye Si said awkwardly: "I underestimated him after all — Baby, if you need military supplies, why didn't you ask me? Why take it from others?"
Qiao Ying: "The goods are in M State. If you're upset, go blow them up."
Seeing that Qiao Ying didn't even want to pay attention to him, Ye Si started making trouble again: "Baby, I don't feel well either."
Qiao Ying: "What's wrong? I'll give you two shots."
Ye Si: "Take off clothes to get the shots? There's something wrong with my heart, it kinda hurts." As he spoke, his coat was already taken off.
Qiao Ying: "Heart cancer. Ordinary treatment is useless. Let's dissect it."
Ye Si: "Baby, to tell the truth, if Qin Hanyue and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
Qiao Ying wanted to "treat his heart cancer" for asking such a stupid question.
Qiao Ying said as she went upstairs without looking back: "I don't give a damn if you both live or die."
The next day,
Qin Hanyue did not come,
Qiao Ying was a little surprised.
Ye Si: "He knows better."
It was quite late. Qiao Ying was uncertain whether Qin Hanyue was too busy to get away and would only come later. So she sent a message to ask.
As a result, Qin Hanyue replied very quickly: 【Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now, so I won't disturb you anymore】
Of course Qin Hanyue wanted to see her, but because of such a minor headache and fever he kept troubling her again and again, it felt inappropriate.
She was with her friend, if he, whose position was unclear, frequently went to disturb her, she might be repelled.
So Qin Hanyue endured it.
A few days before the winter vacation, there was another internal incident within the Arctic Foxes, and Ye Si had to go back to deal with it.
Before getting on the plane, he told Qiao Ying that they would meet at Akenlin in a week.
"Be careful when you get there. If anything comes up, wait until I arrive before taking action together."
"Okay."
After the exhortation, Ye Si immediately lost his proper demeanor: "Baby, I'll miss you. I won't get to see you for a week, how will I get by?"
Qiao Ying: "Time for you to scram."
"Baby, smile for me to see what you look like when you smile. I still don't know."
"Scram."
"Then give me a hug." Ye Si shamelessly grabbed and hugged her. After hugging enough, he got on the plane.
On the second day of winter vacation, Qiao Ying packed up and set off.
Akenlin was a more chaotic place than the Golden Triangle, known for being a completely lawless area.
Among those old guys in the Shadows, the Ace of Spades was the most cautious. Other than necessities regarding himself, he never mentioned anything. Of those people, Qiao Ying knew the least about him.
She had only heard from the late King of Hearts that the Ace of Spades often appeared in this place, so he must have his own power there.
Her next target was him.
At the airport, she received a message from Qin Hanyue.
【It's vacation now, where are you planning to go? Do you mind saying?】
Qiao Ying thought for a moment before replying: 【Not sure, just wandering around】 She was still uncertain whether she could find the Ace of Spades.
She clearly didn't want to say.
Qin Hanyue was worried but also understood tact and didn't pry further.
After nearly 7 hours of flying, Qiao Ying transferred several times, taking all kinds of transportation before finally reaching the border.
Qiao Ying sat in an off-road vehicle, passing through the uninhabited area.
All along the road were visible chaos. They encountered all kinds of people blocking vehicles. The driver stepped on the gas pedal all the way, not daring to stop.
The driver was a big-bearded Austrian with no air conditioning in the car. On such a freezing day, there were bean-sized beads of sweat on his injured face.
A shiny short knife was pressed against his neck. As he breathed, his neck inevitably scraped against the blade, already bleeding.
The pretty Asian girl held the knife handle with a calm expression, asking him in German: "How much longer?"
The big beard hurriedly replied: "Half an hour, almost there."
Qiao Ying: "Can we talk properly now?"
The big beard nodded. The muscles on his face were frightened stiff.
Qiao Ying put away the short knife: "Tell me about Akenlin."
The big beard sorted out his thoughts and began to tell Qiao Ying about Akenlin.
Qiao Ying didn't expect that this person who had delivered himself to his death was actually quite knowledgeable, saving her a lot of trouble.
"You've come at a bad time. Akenlin is the most chaotic this time every year. As soon as a young girl like you steps in, you'll be targeted, especially since you're an Asian girl." The big beard glanced at the extremely beautiful girl from the corner of his eye.
With such looks, moreover a pure Asian, she would be eaten to the bone once she enters.
Qiao Ying: "Is that so? Then I've really come at the right time."
Just as they were talking, another group of people appeared on the side of the road ahead, waving to flag them down. Their own car was parked on the side of the road with someone circling around checking something.
It looked like the car had broken down and they were seeking help.
Qiao Ying's gaze swept over the car on the roadside and the driver sitting in the driver's seat.
Seeing the people flagging ahead, one of them made a covert gesture at the big beard. Receiving the signal, the big beard glanced at Qiao Ying again from the corner of his eye, then slowly reduced the speed.
After shortening the distance with those ahead, the big beard suddenly let go of the steering wheel and pounced at Qiao Ying, trying to snatch her knife.
The people on the roadside immediately took action. The seemingly broken car parked at the side also started normally and rushed out to block their path.
But before they could surround the car, the car door was suddenly kicked open. The big beard was kicked down by someone.
Qiao Ying kicked the man down from the car and quickly took over the driver's seat. While controlling the steering wheel, she swiftly pulled the car door closed,
evading the car rushing to crash into her. She slammed the accelerator, sending the car flying rapidly towards that dangerous area...
