480: Chapter 100: Trading with Mi Xi 480: Chapter 100: Trading with Mi Xi “What have you found out from Mi Xi?
What exactly did he say about Luo Luo and the Coffin?” Quan Shaoqing looked at Gu Xiaoxi and asked bluntly.
Gu Xiaoxi picked up a piece of fruit from the table, took a bite, and glared at Quan Shaoqing, “I’m not telling you.
I promised I wouldn’t blab, and I intend to use this secret to nab the real traffickers.”
“You…
Gu Xiaoxi, don’t forget, I am your superior!” Quan Shaoqing could not help but say angrily.
“I’ll report back to you when I return tomorrow,” Gu Xiaoxi said.
Quan Shaoqing was at a loss with her, so he picked up an apple from the table and took several aggressive bites.
“Don’t you have anything you want to tell ?” Quan Shaoqing asked.
“Did you find any criminal evidence against Mi Xi?
Like, stealing blood or desecrating ancestral graves?” Gu Xiaoxi inquired.
Quan Shaoqing felt utterly baffled, “Are you feverish, or has your brain gone kaput?
What normal person would desecrate ancestral graves?
As for stealing blood, there’s nothing of that sort.
He donated a hundred ambulances and a dical building, requesting from the hospital.
He asked for a hundred bags of plasma every month.”
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, “That’s right, Mi Xi isn’t a criminal.
If he were a bad guy, he should’ve kidnapped when I got into his car earlier.”
“Just a few days with him and you’re defending him.
Gu Xiaoxi, don’t forget your identity,” Quan Shaoqing snapped, unable to contain his anger.
Was this woman deliberately trying to infuriate him?
“I am a soldier, sure, but I can’t wrong a good person.
I’ll judge the matter as it is.
I’m eting with Mi Xi tomorrow to try and find clues to the criminal, to complete the mission I haven’t yet finished,” Gu Xiaoxi threw the fruit core into the trash and said to Quan Shaoqing, “It’s late now, we should get so sleep.
There will definitely be more to deal with tomorrow.”
With that, she turned and went back to her room.
At this ti, Ai Xiang ca downstairs and looked at Quan Shaoqing with a helpless shake of her head, “Why don’t you stay here tonight?”
Quan Shaoqing watched Gu Xiaoxi disappear at the stairwell, his face expressionless, “No need, I’m going back, it’s not that far.
I’ll wait at ho for her to report to work tomorrow.
After this is over, I’ll take her back to the Military Departnt, you don’t mind, do you?”
“He’s your soldier, how could I dare to object?” Ai Xiang quickly replied with a laugh.
After Quan Shaoqing left, Ai Xiang went upstairs and knocked on Gu Xiaoxi’s door.
“Co in, the door’s unlocked!” Gu Xiaoxi sat on the windowsill, holding a teddy bear, looking at Quan Shaoqing’s departing car, her voice tinged with lancholy.
Ai Xiang pushed open the door, ca up to Gu Xiaoxi, and following her gaze, she sighed, “Do you really want to go back with him?”
Gu Xiaoxi lowered her head and buried her face into the teddy bear’s embrace, her silence a tacit agreent.
“Let tell you, if he gets sick again, I won’t be able to save him,” Ai Xiang said exasperatedly.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly lifted her head and asked Ai Xiang, “What about your master?”
“Dead!” Ai Xiang said expressionlessly.
“Even if he were alive, he wouldn’t be able to lift the spell.”
“Quack doctor!” exclaid Gu Xiaoxi as she turned around, hugged the bear, and crawled into bed.
Ai Xiang, fuming, walked up to Gu Xiaoxi’s bed and said angrily, “I’m a quack doctor…
you, you, you…
get up, I need to cure you properly, are you going through early nopause or what.”
“You’re the one going through early nopause!
Turn off the light on your way out, I’m going to sleep,” Gu Xiaoxi said, covering her head with the blanket.
Ai Xiang snorted coldly, “I won’t argue with you.
I’ll settle this with you tomorrow.”
Ai Xiang left the room and casually turned off the light.
FInally, he took one last look at Gu Xiaoxi hiding under the blanket.
Earlier, he wanted to say sothing comforting, but in the end, he felt that no amount of comfort compared to bickering with her to ease her worries.
When it cos to matters of the heart, she has to figure it out for herself.
No matter how many tis others advise her, it’s useless.
…
The next day, at ten in the morning.
Gu Xiaoxi appeared at the entrance of Sunshine Group.
As soon as she showed up, Xing Ling imdiately approached her and said, “Are you looking for the boss?
He’s been waiting upstairs for you.”
Gu Xiaoxi sized up Xing Ling, “Do you know ?
How do you know I was looking for your boss?”
“The gentleman instructed this morning to wait here for a beautiful lady,” Xing Ling said politely.
Gu Xiaoxi was used to seeing Xing Ling’s face filled with jealousy, so such politeness left her feeling a bit uncomfortable.
“Carry on with your work, I can go up by myself.” Gu Xiaoxi slung her bag over her shoulder and entered the elevator alone.
She made her way to Mi Xi’s office familiarly and knocked on his door.
“Co in!” At the sa ti as he spoke, Mi Xi put down what he was doing and looked up at the woman entering.
Her hair fluttered in the air, the color and length he recognized, but the face no longer bore the shadow of the past.
Ye Yuwei’s appearance on her face seed exceptionally beautiful, not because of Ye Yuwei’s beauty, but because of her temperant, which made her look even more splendid.
Without Ye Yuwei’s appearance, Gu Xiaoxi was even more beautiful.
It was the kind of exquisiteness in her facial features that was immaculate, with skin so fair it bore not a single pore or spot, and not even a trace of age could be found on her face.
She wore a white shirt, black trousers, and small leather boots, striding towards him.
Every still and moving mont exuded calmness and ease!
“Do you really sit here with a clear conscience, or is this just another one of your tricks?” Gu Xiaoxi placed her bag on the sofa and sat opposite Mi Xi at his desk.
Without the restraints and pretenses of past days, her tone was cold.
Mi Xi stood up and swept Gu Xiaoxi a glance, his tone slightly cool, “You’ve done well.
The first ti you infiltrated my house, you even took Luo Luo out to play, and in the end, you got him to lie for you.”
Gu Xiaoxi’s face imdiately darkened, “That little rascal, to actually betray .
I’ll break off our friendship!”
Upon hearing this, Mi Xi coughed in surprise.
He didn’t understand what Gu Xiaoxi ant, did she really consider Luo Luo a friend?
“I want to know where you found those two strands of hair,” Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t expected herself to make such a rudintary mistake.
“My ho, and by that coffin,” Mi Xi said solemnly.
“I see!
Once discovered by you, well, a rchant after all.
Without trickery, there’s no trade; you observe keenly, I’m well aware,” Gu Xiaoxi flicked her fingers.
After a night, she was no longer troubled by the exposure of this matter.
“I just want to ask if you’ve kept a secret for .
Especially regarding my sister’s matter,” Mi Xi stared at Gu Xiaoxi with a stern face.
Gu Xiaoxi puzzled, “A dead person?
Why not bury her peacefully?
Keeping her like this, what’s the point?
I think, if Luo Luo’s identity were exposed, that would be the grave issue, right?”
Upon hearing this, Mi Xi was silent for a while before explaining, “My sister can be resurrected.
It’s just that after she cos back to life, she will beco the sa kind of being as Luo Luo.”
“What?” Gu Xiaoxi was so startled she jumped up from her seat, “Resurrected from death!”
“You could say that!
But her case is special, and the conditions required are very specific,” Mi Xi pointed to a chair, “Sit down first, there’s much more I need to tell you.”
Gu Xiaoxi sat down, interested in these bizarre events.
“Twenty years ago, my sister Mi Xue and a mber of the royal family, Feng, fell in love.
But they were opposed by the royal family, who believed that a royal liking a human was a disgrace, much like a human falling in love with livestock such as pigs and cattle.”
“However, Feng gave up his royal status and left his clan to be with Mi Xue.
This didn’t just fail to free him from his vampire identity, but also brought danger to Mi Xue.
Right when Mi Xue had just given birth to Mi Luo, ten people from the royal family ca and killed Feng.
And my sister was killed by Feng’s sister, Qing Lian.
She died drained of her blood!” Mi Xi spoke angrily.
“Wait, you said Mi Luo was born twenty years ago.
So Mi Luo is twenty years old?” Gu Xiaoxi exclaid, and then incredulously looked at Mi Xi, “Which ans, that Qing Lian is also a vampire, and a formidable one at that.
And she isn’t afraid of sunlight!”
Mi Xi knew Gu Xiaoxi’s mind was quick to understand.
“But what does this have to do with your sister’s resurrection?” Gu Xiaoxi was confused.
“On a full moon’s dawn, if bitten to death by a vampire, one turns into a vampire.
That’s Qing Lian’s way of taking revenge.
She wanted to use this thod to turn Mi Xue into her slave, to tornt her for thousands of years,” Mi Xi explained as he sat back down, taking out a stack of photos.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the photos in his hand, portraying a beautiful woman who looked young, lively, and smiling happily.
Without guessing, she knew these were pictures of Mi Xue.
