Wang Miaomiao watched as Xiao Yifeng stared intently at her, a hint of confusion appearing on her face. Glancing down, she suddenly let out a shriek, her hands covering her chest as she crouched down into the wooden tub, her face flushed with unbearable shyness.
"Um, sorry, I... I didn’t do it on purpose," Xiao Yifeng said awkwardly.
"It’s not your fault; it’s my problem. But could you please turn around for a moment? I want to put on some clothes," Wang Miaomiao whispered.
"Oh!" Xiao Yifeng nodded, quickly turning around, as Wang Miaomiao stepped out of the wooden tub and began putting on a set of clothes.
"You can turn back now," Wang Miaomiao’s voice called out, and Xiao Yifeng turned around.
At this moment, Wang Miaomiao still looked somewhat bashful, her head lowered, not daring to look at Xiao Yifeng.
"The scars on your body are healing nicely. With the current progress, you’ll need two more treatments, and then new skin will regrow on your body. By then, it’ll be as if you were reborn. I’ll come here tomorrow and the day after at this time to treat you."
"Thank you, Xiao Yifeng!"
Wang Miaomiao looked at Xiao Yifeng, her eyes brimming with sincere gratitude.
"We’re friends now, so you can just call me Brother Xiao, and I’ll call you Miaomiao," Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
"Mm," Wang Miaomiao nodded in response.
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Wang Miaomiao and couldn’t help asking, "Miaomiao, who gave you that jade pendant you wear? Can you tell me about it?"
Wang Miaomiao took out the jade pendant hanging around her neck and said,
"This jade pendant was left to me by my grandfather, but he disappeared when I was only one or two years old, leaving only this pendant for me to wear."
"My parents told me this pendant could bless me with safety. Perhaps it’s because of this pendant that I survived the fire last time."
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flickered for a moment as he looked at Wang Miaomiao, "You should take good care of this pendant, and don’t let others see it carelessly."
"I understand," Wang Miaomiao whispered softly.
"Alright, I should head back now. I’ll come over again tomorrow," Xiao Yifeng said, then left the place.
"Mom, Dad, I will definitely avenge you!"
Wang Miaomiao murmured to herself, clutching the jade pendant tightly in her hand, a deep and penetrating killing intent flashing in her eyes.
Having left Wang Miaomiao’s place, Xiao Yifeng received a call from Xiao Ruolin and went to a milk tea shop where he met the busty policewoman.
"Captain Xiao, I haven’t seen you for a day, and you seem to have grown a bit. Aren’t you worried about exploding if you keep on growing?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Xiao Ruolin with a grin.
"Do you think they’re balloons, ready to burst just like that!"
Xiao Ruolin glared at Xiao Yifeng irritably, albeit not losing her temper as easily as before.
"Alright, Captain Xiao, what did you want to talk about?"
Xiao Yifeng asked seriously, much to Xiao Ruolin’s annoyance.
"That batch of treasure you mentioned before was hijacked by a group of Japanese," Xiao Ruolin said coldly.
"No way, I already warned you guys in advance, and you still let them get away with it. Didn’t you contact China’s special departments?" Xiao Yifeng asked with surprise.
"The higher-ups dispatched the Azure Dragon Squad from China’s Mysterious Organization, Dragon Soul. The treasure was already secured, but on their way back, the Azure Dragon Squad was ambushed by a group of Japanese. These people were very strong, injuring everyone in the squad including the captain, and the treasure was taken from them again."
"This Azure Dragon Squad really is useless, huh? Is this the extent of Dragon Soul’s power, the most mysterious and powerful organization in China?" Xiao Yifeng scoffed.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Dragon Soul is the most mysterious and powerful organization in China, filled with top-tier experts. The Azure Dragon Squad itself is incredibly formidable. It’s just that the Japanese sent so many strong fighters this time that they were caught off guard," Xiao Ruolin quickly retorted.
Xiao Yifeng chuckled, "No matter how you defend them, it doesn’t change the fact that they were robbed of the national treasure right in front of their eyes."
"Enough, I didn’t call you here to talk about this."
"Then what did you call me here for?"
"You were the first one to discover them. I want to ask if you have any way to find this group of Japanese," Xiao Ruolin said, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yifeng.
"Well..." Xiao Yifeng’s voice trailed off, his grin filled with innuendo as he blinked at Xiao Ruolin.
"Hurry up and say it!" Xiao Ruolin looked at Xiao Yifeng with some impatience.
"What’s in it for me if I do?" Xiao Yifeng asked nonchalantly.
Xiao Ruolin’s face darkened as she snapped, "You’re serving your country, what benefit do you want?"
"Find someone else for the job if there’s nothing in it for me," Xiao Yifeng said, starting to get up to leave.
"Fine, tell me, what do you want?"
Xiao Ruolin was forced to compromise, glaring fiercely at Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng snickered mischievously, giving Xiao Ruolin an uneasy feeling.
