After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor
Chapter 77 The storm arises
The next day.
Because the news of the female being kidnapped became a hot topic, the top management immediately summoned Zhi Ge to discuss this case that had shocked the entire Area A.
"It looks like those old guys in the upper echelons are planning to bring charges against Zhi Ge!"
Collio revealed the truth about Zhige's trip, and there was no guarantee that he would not be troubled by people in higher-ups with ulterior motives.
Pushik was also worried. Seeing this, Collio immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, dear. Those old guys can't do anything to Zhige."
"Really?" Pu Xike smiled without much emotional fluctuation.
She was not worried that Zhi Ge would be embarrassed by the group of people in the upper echelons, but was wondering whether the next plan would become uncontrollable due to the intervention of Leon and others.
Some bad things always come one after another. When the news of the war came, an unexpected person came to the manor——
Chase for a hundred miles!
"Oh my, isn't this Lord Baili? What brings you here?"
Collio came out to greet him pretendingly, but in his heart he was thinking that the other party must have had some bad intentions by coming here.
As expected, Baili Zhui got straight to the point and said, "Sir Collio, we are here to protect Miss Alice. After all, you have seen the news in the past few days..."
"Look at what you said. Protecting little Alice should be the responsibility of Zhige and me. There is no reason for you to worry about it!" Collio replied, and the gunpowder in his words filled the entire hall.
Baili Zhui calmly took out a permission slip and explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, Ms. Collio. This is a unanimous decision made by the top management. I'm just following orders."
Although the man didn't show it on his face, Collio could feel the arrogance of a villain who had succeeded.
"So, we are now going to transfer Miss Alice to the protection of the White Tiger Group to prevent her from being harmed again."
"This..." Collio pretended to be distressed.
"Sir Collio, are you worried about something? If you are worried about the authenticity of this document, then you can rest assured that the official seal of the government cannot be forged." Baili Zhui almost blocked the way, leaving the other party no chance to delay.
"I'm not blind, so how can I not tell whether that crappy official seal is real or fake?"
Collio complained in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be nice to the man, "Sir Baili, that's not true. No matter how confused I am, I can recognize the government seal. It's just..."
"only?"
"You know, I'm just a guest in this manor. For such a big matter as handing over the female, do you think we should wait for Zhige to come back..." Collio made it clear that he wanted to wait for Zhige to come back for support.
But Baili Zhui seemed to have expected it, with the corners of his mouth raised, looking completely confident of victory.
"Sir Collio, I don't think Admiral Zhi Ge will be back in the short term."
"What do you mean?" Collio frowned, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Baili Zhui explained: "Admiral Zhige defended the invaders at the high-level meeting and believed that someone else was planning to kidnap the females. He requested a thorough investigation of the matter, so..."
“So the higher-ups detained the man?” Collio’s eyes darkened, thinking that Baili Zhui was fanning the flames.
"It's not that serious. The top leaders only gave Admiral Zhige one month to find the real culprit behind the incident and prove the innocence of that group of people. Actually, I was the one who proposed this suggestion first. After all, the top leaders unanimously decided to execute the invaders." Baili Zhui smiled awkwardly, feeling as if he had helped.
Coleo clenched the folding fan in his hand and pretended to be calm. "The higher-ups wouldn't leave him here! Can't we investigate the case when we go home?"
"Isn't this to make it easier for General Zhige to bring the person behind the scenes to justice as soon as possible? The top leaders have also set up a special task force to assist him in the investigation. I believe there will be results soon." Baili Zhui said sincerely.
But Collio was a little surprised. After all, the most likely "mastermind" at the moment was their Baili family. Yet he openly asked people to investigate just to delay the war. It was a bit too strange.
But the man in front of her looked like he had nothing to do with it. Was he pretending? Or was he confident that they could get away with it? Or maybe... they had nothing to do with this matter at all, so they were so fearless.
"So, Admiral Zhi Ge must have been too busy investigating the real culprit to protect Miss Alice. That's why our White Tiger Group took over the responsibility of protecting the female."
It seems that Baili Zhui is determined to win today and take Pu Xike away.
Collio was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, the other party had permission from the top, and on the other hand, Zhige was detained by them on the pretext of investigating the mastermind behind the scenes, and he couldn't get away for a while.
"Ms. Collio..." Pushik, who had been watching for a long time, stood up.
Collio's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Actually, I'm just worried that my dear won't be able to adapt to the new environment. You should have asked the female's opinion, right?"
As mentioned before, in this world, female opinions are more important than anything else. No matter what the top management decides, the final say is still in the hands of females.
In other words, as long as Pu Xike expressed his position, it would be of no avail even if Baili Zhui could use the top leaders to pressure them.
Baili Zhui came prepared this time. He had expected that the other party would talk about the female thing, so he immediately put forward a reason that Pu Xike could not refuse.
"I heard that Miss Alice is from another galaxy. It just so happens that our White Tiger Group can connect to interstellar communications. Maybe we can help you find your family as soon as possible."
"Really?" Pushik pretended to be surprised.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, the man took advantage of the victory and said, "As long as Miss Alice is willing to move to my humble home, we will do our best to find clues to the ancient star for you."
Collio remained silent, but the folding fan in his hand was almost crushed, making a "crackling" sound.
I didn't expect Baili Zhui to be so far-sighted. It seemed that he had planned it long ago, even down to the smallest detail, just waiting for the right time to catch them off guard.
"Ms. Collio." Pushik put his hand on the back of the other person's hand, signaling him to rest assured.
Then, Pu Xike stepped forward and gave his answer, "I agree to go with you."
Baili Zhui was ecstatic, and his tone was full of excitement. "Miss, do you think there is anything else you need to pack? I'll ask the servants to sort it out for you."
"I don't have any luggage to bring." Pu Xike shook his head. The manor was all Zhi Ge's property.
"I have already instructed the servants to prepare a batch of new household items for you, young lady. You don't need to prepare anything and can move in right away." Baili Zhui had made proper arrangements and it seemed that he had made preparations in advance.
"In that case, let's do it now..." Baili Zhui was about to take Pu Xike away when he was interrupted by the other party.
"Wait! Before that, I have one more request. If you don't agree, I won't go with you."
Pushik's finishing touch turned the situation around.
"Miss, please feel free to speak up. I will definitely grant your request." Baili Zhui made a promise immediately.
"Ms. Collio is my 'godmother' so I hope he can stay with me."
After this statement was made, the attitudes of both sides became diametrically opposed.
Baili Zhui was a little hesitant, and it was obvious that he didn't want to take Collio with him.
On the other hand, Collio opened his fan to cover half of his arrogant face and said with a wry smile: "Oh, Master Baili, my child is right! After all, I am also the godmother and temporary guardian of little Alice. You have no reason to separate us. Right?"
Baili felt guilty, but he didn't expect Pushik to make this request.
Collio is investigating the disappearance of the sub-sex orcs. If he finds evidence that Baili Fengxing murdered the sub-sex orcs, it will undoubtedly make the scandal of the Baili family public.
But now is the only chance to take the female away. If it can help Pu Xike and Baili Fengxing to become a couple, then this little sacrifice will not count.
What's more, Collio might not be able to find clues about the murder of sub-sex beastmen under their noses.
"Okay! I agree."
Baili Zhui also made up his mind after thinking for a moment.
But little did they know that they had fallen into Pushik's trap and everything was going according to her plan.
