"You are back… what's wrong?" Gu Xingfeng, who saw that Hao Baiyun and his subordinates magically appeared outside, asked when he noticed that sothing was wrong. He looked at the silent Hao Baiyun who is standing there with a blank gaze.
Hao Baiyun and his subordinates, who thought that they are going to die there earlier, had a blank expression on their faces. Just as when they thought they would die, they closed their eyes tight. But, their eyes which they thought would never open again, suddenly opened when they felt the ice-cold temperature disappeared.
So, they opened their eyes, which surprised them since that indicated that they weren't dead! Then, they suddenly saw that they were already standing in a courtyard, which is very familiar to them. This is boss' courtyard! The subordinates thought as they looked at each other, can't hide the joy and excitent in their eyes. Because they didn't die!
But, how happy his subordinates were, is how mad Hao Baiyun is. Yi Bing scared them! He played them! he thought, furious. But, because the other saved them, Hao Baiyun suppressed the fire in his heart and kept his expression blank.
He stiffly turned to Yi Bing. "… thanks." He said through his gritted teeth.
Yi Bing gave him face. "You are welco." He calmly answered and then entered the door, going straight to where Huo Ling's room is.
"… wait!" Hao Baiyun can't help but call as he ran after Yi Bing. The snow on his shoulder and top of his head still hasn't even been removed.
Gu Xingfeng who was ignored. "…" do I have to start to wear green (sign of being cuckolded/cheated) now? He thought, then shook his head. He knows that Hao Baiyun isn't cheating on him. He has faith on Hao Baiyun.
So, Hao Baiyun running after Yi Bing… it ans that sothing did happen, and it wasn't good.
As expected, he heard Hao Baiyun spoke. "You ca there… did you already know that all the monsters in the base were already dead?" he asked as he looked at Yi Bing, who stopped before he turned the doorknob.
Yi Bing turned slowly turned and Hao Baiyun bravely looked at him in the eyes.
Yi Bing's brow twitched in annoyance. "I am not omnipotent." He answered before he shut the door.
Hao Baiyun was stunned. His mind turned blank for a mont before he sighed in relief. That ans that Yi Bing really wasn't playing with them! he thought, then turned to look at Gu Xingfeng. Without a word, his body weakly fell on Gu Xingfeng's embrace and he hugged him tight. He is utterly exhausted.
Gu Xingfeng can guess what had happened based on the words he heard from Hao Baiyun. When Hao Baiyun and his subordinates arrived in the base of the enemy, the monsters were already dead. Then, Yi Bing has arrived to help Hao Baiyun and his group. It should be that another unexpected thing happened that is why Yi Bing helped Hao Baiyun and his group, that is, teleporting them directly here instead of Hao Baiyun and his group using the return flight.
"It is already dusk… you wash up first and then rest. I will wake you when it is dinner." Gu Xingfeng told Hao Baiyun.
"Thank you, dear." Hao Baiyun said and kissed him on the lips before he smiled and left, going to their bedroom.
Gu Xingfeng stood there rooted on the spot before his face flushed red.
"Aiyo! My eyes! They sting!" one of Hao Baiyun's subordinates exclaid when they saw Hao Baiyun kissed Gu Xingfeng after they entered the door, following their boss.
Gu Xingfeng imdiately snapped out of their daze and he turned to them.
They grinned at him. "Boss' husband! Rember to inform us, too, through either Lan Tian or Zi Chen, when boss wakes up!" they told him. "We have sothing to tell him, which is what we found in the monsters' base. That's all!" they said and jumped out of the window, then disappeared.
Gu Xingfeng watched the pack of wolves left before he heaved a sigh. Then, he smiled. He went to the kitchen to prepare for their dinner. Their children will be arriving ho soon, too, with Zheng Jian and Jin Chulin.
…
"Jiang Ce said that?!" Huo Ling exclaid as he lied on the bed. He turned his head to look at Yi Bing. His face is filled with surprise after he heard what Yi Bing said.
"En." Yi Bing nodded while he sat beside Huo Ling's bed.
"Eh…? Jiang Ce really didn't give my cousin so face, huh?" Huo Ling said and helplessly sighed.
"Jiang Ce must have said it after he guessed my attitude towards Hao Baiyun." Yi Bing explained.
Huo Ling's lip twitched. He declined to comnt. "How is Xiao Hualing's investigation?" he asked, changing the topic.
"She still went with Mu Li and Zhuo Xia to track the other Golden-Haired Monkeys' corpses." Yi Bing answered.
Huo Ling sighed, feeling sad for the Golden-Haired Monkeys. "If we finally managed to collect all the corpses of the Golden-Haired Monkeys, maybe I will be able to find where my assignnt is." He said as he opened his Death Note, then pressed the direct teleportation button on the page.
But, as he has expected, and just like before, nothing happened. He can't directly teleport to where his assignnt is. He wonders what could have happened to his assignnt. Was its soul trapped, too, in sothing like Zhuo Xia's soul in the word before? Then, this is really troubleso. He thought and sighed, feeling depressed.
Yi Bing looked at him. "You are that worried?" he asked, guessing what Huo Ling is thinking.
Huo Ling smiled and closed his eyes, feeling tired since his soul is still assimilating back to his body again. Nothing really escapes this guy's… uh, grim reaper's eyes, right? He thought and helplessly smiled. "Yeah. I feel worried." He honestly said.
"Hm?" Yi Bing stared at him.
Huo Ling chuckled hearing him hum a response. He opened his eyes, then looked into Yi Bing's ice-cold blue pupils. "I am just worried… because I might be pitted again in my assignnt." He explained.
Yi Bing paused. "… oh." He muttered. "You might really be." He rcilessly said.
Huo Ling's face was covered in black lines. His brow twitched in irritation. "Can't you at least comfort my feelings?!" he asked, then sighed in exasperation. "But, what should I expect? You aren't that kind of person, err, grim reaper that can comfort soone…" he muttered in a low voice.
"I can." Yi Bing cut him off.
Huo Ling turned to look at him.
Yi Bing looked at him in the eyes. "Tell what to do." He said. "Tell how can I comfort you?" he asked him.
Huo Ling stared at him for a long ti, dumbfounded. Then, his lips broke into a smile.
…
"Oh? That was one hell of a truck there." Lan Tian grinned when he and Zi Chen saw from the distance a truck exiting the dock's gates.
The wind blew and the tarp covering the back of the truck was lifted, revealing an arm with a lone golden hair sticking out of it.
"Corpses." Zi Chen spoke. There was no need for him to elaborate.
Lan Tian already saw the corpses of the Golden-Haired Monkeys. Zi Chen also slled the foul rotten sll of the corpses. If the situation isn't just that urgent and dangerous, he would have already sealed his sense of sll. But, he can't right now.
"How dare they transport the corpses of the Golden-Haired Monkeys at this early hour?!" Lan Tian smiled, feeling that it was very ridiculous and stupid act.
But, Zi Chen's eyebrows knitted. He sensed sothing from Lan Tian's words. "Soone is backing them?" he said. "In our own country?" he added and frowned.
Lan Tian coldly laughed. "I will fck that sick bastard!" he said and evilly grinned as they imdiately followed the truck that is about to disappear from their sight.
Not only was there a spy in Hao Baiyun's side, now they have another enemy that ca from their sa land.
…
Blue Waves Shipping Company.
"You are really amazing! You managed to gather this much information?!" Xiao Hualing exclaid in surprise as she looked at the list of nas including their information from their family, school background until their businesses.
"Just be sure that I didn't leave any trace of sending out any information from out company's database!" Jing Li helplessly said in a low voice.
He is inside his own office, which made him greatly relieved since no one would be able to see him sending out a file to an unknown mail address, nor will he be seen talking to himself. Xiao Hualing is invisible, like before.
"Don't worry! Even if I fail to erase the traces – " Xiao Hualing said, then laughed when she saw Jing Li's face was covered in dark lines. " – senior Yi Bing will take care of it!" she assured him.
Upon hearing Yi Bing's na, Jing Li sighed in relief, since he knows that Yi Bing is reliable.
