Song Xiaoping sneered, "Inquiring for your new lover?"
Xu Qian's brows furrowed, she couldn't be bothered to waste words with him.
"Song Xiaoping, I can leave whenever I want."
Song Xiaoping's expression shifted slightly; he naturally knew Xu Qian's capabilities.
"Xu Qian, if you leave, Hope Base will perish."
Threatening her?
Xu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said faintly, "Then let it perish, what does it have to do with me?"
The young woman flipped off the bed, unhesitatingly pulled open the cabin door, intending to step out.
Suddenly, a chill covered her back, and the man's large hand tightly gripped her waist.
"You're not allowed to leave."
"Stay, keep me company."
"I... I'm not angry with you anymore."
Xu Qian was stunned, not expecting Song Xiaoping to compromise.
She thought it would take longer to break him down.
In Song Xiaoping's view, rather than lose her, he was willing to take a step back.
The young woman turned and hugged his waist, burying her head in his broad, though not robust, chest.
"Where are we going?"
Song Xiaoping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and carefully embraced her.
"Back to headquarters."
Hope Base.
Meanwhile, Guan Weiyun was frantically arranging accommodation for the various bases and had to receive their leaders.
It was already past midnight when he finished, and he returned to the villa with his weary body, intending to celebrate with Xu Qian.
Although he was tired and busy, Province G was finally unified.
Xu Qian had made an invaluable contribution.
Guan Weiyun opened the main door, and Black Panther immediately gave him a welcoming jump. The living room was utterly devoid of life.
Xu Qian was asleep?
He patted Xiao Hei's head, signaling him to get down, then cautiously tiptoed towards the bedroom door, opening it with the slightest force.
Xu Qian was a light sleeper; if disturbed, it was hard for her to fall asleep again.
He always treaded lightly when returning from overtime, just to avoid waking her.
Su Chen, standing in the distance, sighed inwardly, having never seen a person in power treat someone so cautiously.
"Su Chen!!"
Su Chen, jolted by the shout, flashed to the bedroom door.
He saw his master standing by the bedside, his face ashen, exuding an oppressive coldness.
The bedsheet was perfectly smooth, and there was no trace of anyone else in the room.
Where was Miss Xu?
"Where is Madam?"
Su Chen's face turned pale, and he stammered, "After Miss Xu returned, she asked me for some blood and then went back to her room. She hasn't left since."
"I've been on guard the whole time. I can assure you, Miss Xu definitely didn't leave."
Guan Weiyun pressed his temples and said coldly, "She didn't leave, so where is she?"
Su Chen lowered his head, daring not to speak.
Could Miss Xu have vanished into thin air?
"Alright, you can go."
Su Chen hesitated but could only nod obediently.
Guan Weiyun sat on the edge of the bed and calmly turned on the television.
He casually pressed several buttons, and multiple videos appeared. The most recent one was from 5 hours ago.
Yes, he had installed cameras.
Xu Qian didn't know.
Both inside and outside the living room were equipped with surveillance cameras.
Xu Qian always disappeared without a trace; he had to keep a constant watch.
He trusted machines more than people.
As the video played, Xu Qian, with a frown, drank the blood, her face turning pale and feeling nauseous as she went to the toilet to vomit.
When she came out, a man in black appeared outside.
The man in black slightly raised his chin, his gaze precisely identifying the location of the pinhole camera.
The video paused here, then froze, remaining motionless.
Guan Weiyun's face grew grim. He rewound the video, but it still wouldn't move.
Suddenly, the video turned completely black, and a man and a woman appeared on the screen.
