“What do you think? Is he an enemy of a friend?”
Around the corner of the hallway leading to the guest room, Zuo Bo asked He Jingyan beside him, his expression strained, his gaze fixing on Ke Moer on the couch.
He Jingyan smiled before answering the question, “Who knows?” His words were vague.
Zuo Bo suddenly sighed for no apparent reason and pinched his eyebrows, “What do you mean? Is this the time to joke? This is his home base! And if he’s coming for your wife, then we’re have nowhere to escape.”
“I don’t know what he’s planning and how he knows about Yangyi’s identity, but now we’re within his control, so we should just watch obediently and see what kind of tricks he’s playing with us.”
‘Even if we rushed to test him now, it would be useless and would only lead to unnecessary conflict or wariness, so it is good to wait and see for now.’
‘Besides, if he was really malicious, then why should he go to such lengths to rescue us from the police? But there is another possibility: he is playing a trick on us in another way.’
‘So, there was no use rushing, and sometimes there is no harm in going with the flow.’
“He seems to know that we are coming to Country T. He should have secretly sent someone to follow us, otherwise he wouldn’t have happened to run into us right at the hospital.” Zuo Bo leaned against the wall and slowly lit a cigarette, grinning and exhaling, his gaze still focusing on where Ke Moer was. The atmosphere was not as serious as it had been at the beginning, but it did not let down Zuo Bo’s guard either.
“There is no such thing as coincidence in this world, so the answer speaks for itself. What surprises me is that he knows so much about the stories of our side, so why doesn’t he go to Country H to get me in trouble, just like Ke Jie? Or did he think Yangyi would go back to Country T so he just waits for us here quietly?”
But no matter what the answer was, this man was a threat to them. He had neither the recklessness nor the impatience of Ke Jie, which made him the trickiest enemy if he were one.
“It would be better for us to watch for a while and see what he would do first.” He Jingyan said with another smile.
He looked really very calm, as if he already had a plan for it.
“We can only wait and see for the time being. Long Chen is also not well now; he’s not suitable for battle. If we really get into a fight, let me make it clear first: You look after your wife yourself; I only care about the safety and security of Long Chen.”
Zuo Bo, who was slowly exhaling smokes into the air, said so, making it clear first that he would not help.
“Fine! I don’t expect you to help anyway, and Yangyi doesn’t need my protection. These people are no match for him, so I guess when the time comes for a real conflict, I may not even need to fight.” He Jingyan believed in Xu Yangyi’s strength very much.
Zuo Bo couldn’t help but say, “Are you trusting your wife too much blindly? I know your wife is agile, but he’s only a high school student, so I’m sure he’d have a hard time defeating so many people.”
“Not really. What’s wrong with a high school student? My wife’s powerful fighting skill is good for all to see.”
For the first time, Zuo Bo found himself unable to refute. ‘He Jingyan is really a wife pamperer! He has been intoxicated by Xu Yangyi!’
“Fine, as long as you’re happy, I don’t care.” Zuo Bo did not bother to argue with He Jingyan.
