Qi Yuan smiled at Lin Xia soothingly, "It's not that. That happened a long time ago."

"Really?" Lin Xia obviously didn't believe it, but she wasn't sure whether Qi Yuan and the others had continued to trade with Mr. Wu later. Now she could only choose to believe Qi Yuan's words.

"Yes, it's true. Believe me, I will never lie to you no matter who I lie to." Qi Yuan was about to swear to Lin Xia. Fortunately, Lin Xia only had a little doubt and chose to believe Qi Yuan.

Lin Xia had temporarily passed the topic of this matter. She had other questions to ask, "Okay. Since you want to leave with me, why did you come out to block our way?"

"..."

Qi Yuan, who was originally looking at Lin Xia tenderly, suddenly turned his gaze and looked to the side.

Lin Xia also heard the footsteps of someone coming. Although the person's voice was very soft, they still heard it.

The two men squatted behind the earthen embankment. Lin Xia leaned against one side of the earthen wall, and Qi Yuan knelt on one knee opposite Lin Xia, with one hand on the earthen wall behind Lin Xia. Both of them stared at the direction they came from.

One step, two steps, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and even a person's shadow was about to appear in front of the two people.

The tip of one foot first appeared in the sight of the two people, and Qi Yuan put down his hand that was supporting the wall and pulled Lin Xia's arm.

The man had already appeared in front of them, with the gun pointed at Lin Xia and the others. It was Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin put down his gun, looked at Lin Xia and then at Qi Yuan, "You two, are catching up."

"..."

Lin Xia immediately broke free from Qi Yuan's hand, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Yuan was a little unhappy when Lin Xia broke free from him, but he still sat back obediently.

"There was a problem at the mine, so Xunkong, Hongluan and I came here." Cheng Lin told Lin Xia briefly about their previous situation with a serious face.

Lin Xia nodded. As long as they didn't have any problems, it was good. Wu Bei had already encountered them herself. Lin Xia went through them one by one, but found a problem. "Then... what about Yuan Ge?"

"He..." When Cheng Lin heard Lin Xia's question, his brows furrowed and his expression seemed a little painful.

Seeing that Cheng Lin was taking a long time to answer her question, Lin Xia turned her gaze to Qi Yuan in front of her.

Qi Yuan met Lin Xia's gaze and sighed softly, "He's missing."

"What? How could this happen?!" Lin Xia didn't know the specific situation, but Ruan Ling was the information receiving station among them, and now he said that he was missing. It would be hard for anyone to accept this.

They had not expected such a result, but there would always be various problems when carrying out missions outside, and there was no way to avoid it. They could only pray that Ruan Ling was only temporarily tripped and not dead.

Lin Xia naturally knew all this and accepted the fact. Then, she asked, "Then, does Yinghuo know?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded.

Lin Xia nodded, "How's the situation over there?"

"She was called away on other matters."

Qi Yuan was answering Lin Xia's question very seriously, but Lin Xia was a little confused. At this time, what was the reason that required Wu Bei to leave?

Lin Xia had no way to find the answer, but since they didn't tell her directly, she didn't dare to ask too much, especially since it was a confidential mission.

The air suddenly seemed to freeze. Lin Xia stopped talking and the scene became quiet in an instant.

Qi Yuan looked around and finally brought the person back to his thoughts, "By the way. How's it going over there?"

Cheng Lin immediately remembered the purpose of his visit and began to report seriously, "Those people have been dealt with."

Lin Xia listened to what they said and knew what was happening on her side. "Have you done everything he arranged?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuan and Cheng Lin nodded honestly.

"Then, will you follow me later?" Lin Xia asked tentatively.

Although Cheng Lin already knew Qi Yuan's next instructions, he felt that he shouldn't say it at this time, so Cheng Lin kept his mouth shut.

Qi Yuan then had the opportunity and gave Cheng Lin a look. Cheng Lin received the signal and immediately got up and left.

Lin Xia watched the strange exchange between the two of them, and finally her gaze fell on Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan moved forward a little bit and grabbed Lin Xia's hands. "They probably have other plans and might catch up with us later. We still have to go there, but we can't go there so brazenly."

"Yeah." Lin Xia understood. If they just passed by so obviously, they would find that the real dangerous place was in the city.

"So, Xia Xia. Now that they all know you're with us, let's escape together."

He was clearly just saying: Let’s run away together.

But Lin Xia's hands were held by Qi Yuan, and both of them looked into each other's eyes sincerely and piously, as if saying: Please give me your guidance for the rest of my life.

Finally, Princess Lin Xia nodded, "Okay."

The two hugged each other... uh, sorry... come back!

Qi Yuan took Lin Xia's right hand and stood up, "Let's go."

Two people came out from behind the bunker, and Qi Yuan said to Cheng Lin, "Collect the team and head north."

"Yes." Cheng Lin immediately called Luo Jing and Xingye who were still on the other side. There were only four of them, but it felt like there were dozens of people fighting.

Lin Xia said hello to Xingye and Luo Jing, and the five of them headed north.

Mr. Wu, who was far away in the city, also received the news from Lin Xia, "Boss."

"What's wrong?" Old Master Wu was as steady as a rock, sitting on the sofa leisurely reading the newspaper.

"Boss, Mr. Qin has been taken away." The bodyguard in front answered respectfully.

Tang Yi, who was standing behind Wu Lao, was a little shocked. He didn't expect something to happen so soon.

Mr. Wu was not surprised at all, and still ordered calmly, "Well, send someone to drive them to the southern mine."

"Yes." After hearing what Mr. Wu said, the bodyguard immediately went downstairs to find someone to track down Lin Xia and the others.

Lin Xia continued walking north. Looking at Qi Yuan and the others, she suddenly remembered someone, "Brother Qi."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan's steady voice reached Lin Xia's ears. Lin Xia looked up and met Qi Yuan's gaze.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan looked at Lin Xia in confusion.

Lin Xia moved her lips and asked maliciously, "Where's your...Xiao Mu?"

Qi Yuan saw Lin Xia's expression, and when he paused suddenly, he knew that Lin Xia wanted to be a bitch, but he didn't expect that she really was.

But what can you do with your lover? Just spoil him. Qi Yuan smiled dotingly and said, "I'll stay in the city."

"Tsk, so cruel~ just throw it away after use." Lin Xia raised her eyebrows.

Qi Yuan was not annoyed, but responded gently, "There is nothing I can do. He likes a richer boss and says I have no money, so don't bother with what he does."
