Throughout the journey, they hadn’t spotted any trace of Bai Zhengli and his group, but they did encounter other Corpse Hunting Teams hunting nearby. Initially, Zhao Qiankun and Bai Yi thought that Bai Ye and his team had dispersed and blended into these Corpse Hunting Teams, so they kept a vigilant watch on them and even made up excuses to send people to inquire.
Those inquiries left the Corpse Hunting Teams all the more jittery, but Zhao Qiankun and Bai Yi still couldn’t find Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye, as if they had vanished into thin air—it was truly bizarre!
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. During this time, the two continuously used communicators to contact their trusted men stationed at various checkpoints, but alas, there was still no sign of Bai Ye and the others. Finally, Yang Bo speculated, "Brother, do you think... Bai Zhengli and Cao Kun might have left Beishi City?"
"Left?" Zhao Qiankun’s face changed as he turned to look at Yang Bo. "Why would you think that?"
Yang Bo noticed Zhao Qiankun seemed to care a lot about this matter. He guessed Zhao Qiankun might still have feelings for Fang Yuxin but dared not voice out his guess and merely said, "With the powerful presence of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group at Beishi Base, even if Bai Zhengli and his men managed to evade the blockade and return alive to Beishi Base, revealing the truth would hardly impact our forces. We could simply accuse them of defamation!
With their numbers, they can’t shake the two major Mercenary Corps, White Wolf and Qian Kun. Instead, it would ruin their reputation and might even bring disaster upon them. Instead of that, it’s better to leave Beishi City and go to another base. With their numbers and strength, if they go to a small or medium base, they could quickly establish a foothold, which would be more comfortable than staying at Beishi Base. Bai Zhengli is no fool; he wouldn’t walk into a trap with his eyes open."
After Yang Bo finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qiankun and saw his sullen expression, not speaking a word, and his face looked terrifyingly somber, especially those eyes which seemed ready to devour someone!
Just when Yang Bo was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard Zhao Qiankun whisper in a low voice, "So you mean... she planned it all along? No wonder she wouldn’t give up on this mission!" He then scoffed coldly, but his expression grew even darker.
Yang Bo looked at him and suddenly felt that Zhao Qiankun seemed very heartbroken. Not knowing Zhao Qiankun’s past, he couldn’t understand why he cared so much for a woman he had only met twice. Seeing Zhao Qiankun’s expression and thinking about how he pampered the women around him, Yang Bo found it extremely ironic!
Zhao Qiankun, unaware of Yang Bo’s thoughts, felt betrayed! He adored Fang Yuxin so much, yet she treated his affections like trash, steadfastly following Bai Ye, even deliberately hiding her true abilities! What did she really think of him?
