Bai Ye gave a cold laugh, "Mr. Shen, although you were indeed the target of my mission, don’t forget that it’s the apocalypse now. Your status as my mission target has lost all significance to me."
Shen Xi’s face turned pale as he stared fixedly at Bai Ye, trying to discern whether he was lying or not. But all he saw was Bai Ye looking back at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, those deep eyes revealing nothing but unpredictable danger!
The anxiety in Shen Xi’s heart intensified. What he feared most was being abandoned by Bai Ye. Bai Ye was from Beishi City and had come to find him to take him back there. There was his mentor, and as long as his mentor was alright, or even if something happened to them, with his abilities, he could totally enter Beishi’s research institute.
In fact, he was very curious about the secret research institute in this Safe Zone. If he wanted, he could fully enter the research institute here in the Safe Zone and have those soldiers help him search for his sister.
But he really looked down on this broken place. And Bai Ye would definitely not give him a chance to enter!
This meant that if he now wanted to find his sister, he could only rely on Bai Ye! But this bastard absolutely refused to help!
Seeing Shen Xi’s face change unpredictably, Bai Ye thought for a moment and then said, "Now, there are constantly survivors entering the Safe Zone. Haven’t you already posted a family search mission at the mission center? If your sister is still alive, or someone has news of her, they will definitely come to find you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Shen Xi, seeing his attitude, was furious and couldn’t help but retort, "Of course you’re not in a hurry; she’s not your sister! Fine, since you refuse to help, I’ll go find her myself!"
Bai Ye gestured towards the doorway, "Please do. No one’s stopping you."
With a cold snort, Shen Xi turned and left with a dark face. Not long after he left, Chen Si came in. He sighed at Bai Ye, saying helplessly, "Why provoke him?"
Bai Ye glanced silently at him and said offhandedly, "Don’t like him."
Chen Si was even more helpless, "What has he ever done to offend you?"
Thinking of how Shen Xi always looked at Fang Yuxin like she was an experimental subject, Bai Ye’s face darkened. But he didn’t intend to elaborate, simply stating, "Just don’t like him."
Chen Si, however, hit the nail on the head, "It’s about Miss Fang, isn’t it? Boss, give me a straight answer, what exactly are your thoughts towards Miss Fang?"
Bai Ye looked at him in puzzlement, "What kind of thoughts can I have? She is the biological mother of my son. What about it?"
Chen Si looked at him skeptically, clearly disbelieving, "Is that all?"
Faced with such a doubtful gaze, Bai Ye somehow felt a touch of guilt and glared at Chen Si, saying displeased, "If you have time, you better go slice your rocks, a big man shouldn’t be gossiping like a woman all day. Go on, don’t bother me."
Seeing that Bai Ye obviously didn’t want to continue the conversation, Chen Si felt a vein in his forehead throb, stood up, and said resignedly, "Fine, think whatever you want, but as your brother, I will support you whatever decision you make."
Hearing this, Bai Ye suddenly felt especially comfortable inside, though he pretended to be impatient, "Alright, alright, get out already. And keep an eye on that Shen guy; don’t let him stir up trouble."
Chen Si sighed helplessly, before he left, he couldn’t resist saying, "Boss, we’ve delayed here long enough. We don’t know what the situation is like back in Beishi City, we can’t stay any longer." He didn’t wait for Bai Ye’s response and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
Because of his words, Bai Ye’s good mood was completely gone. His smile froze on his face, and then gradually, his mouth turned downward and his eyebrows furrowed.
He knew Chen Si was right, they had indeed delayed here too long. It was time to go back and check on Beishi City. Although he had left people in charge there and trusted his parents were safe, he couldn’t help but worry.
But now, the outside situation was becoming more and more dangerous. If they wanted to get back to Beishi City, the journey would be fraught with peril. Moreover, Fang Yuxin would definitely not want to leave the Safe Zone. If he were to leave, what would happen to Bai Qianqian?
Bai Qianqian was still a child. He didn’t have complete assurance that he could bring Bai Qianqian safely back to Beishi City, but if he left her in Market, he would be even more worried.
If only... if only the Fang Family were willing to go to Beishi City with them. The Fang Family was very strong; with their help, he would feel more confident. But how could he, out of his own selfish desires, let the Fang Family take such a risk with him?
