Chapter 2124 - 2097: Bai Zhiqing’s Heavy Heart
At this point, Lin Yafei sighed and then said, "Now the only thing we can do is wait, wait for the other side to appear, otherwise there’s nothing we can do."
"Isn’t there any other way?" Bai Zhiqing asked again.
"No."
Lu Tianxing sighed softly and said, "We’ve done all we can do now, and we can only take it one step at a time. Moreover, we can’t be distracted to go to Xiangjiang, or else the clash between Yama Palace and the Qingtian Alliance is very likely to fall to disadvantage."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with a gentle face and said, "Tianxing, you don’t have to worry too much. Didn’t you let Angel send people to Xiangjiang? With the people sent by Angel, even if the Huang Family collaborates with outsiders, they can’t harm Xiao Bing and them, so rest assured, everything will be fine."
With Bai Zhiqing’s comfort, the gloom in Lu Tianxing’s heart dissipated a little. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he took out a cigarette and lit it, exhaling a thick plume of smoke in one smooth motion.
"Wife, thank you."
"Silly, why thank me? You are my husband, comforting you is what I should do."
Bai Zhiqing smiled lightly and said, "Alright, Tianxing, I’m a bit tired today, I’m going upstairs to rest for a while."
With that said, before giving Lu Tianxing a chance to speak, Bai Zhiqing stood up and walked towards the upstairs.
Watching Bai Zhiqing’s back as she walked upstairs, Lin Yafei furrowed her brows. Earlier, she had sensed that Bai Zhiqing was hiding something from her and Lu Tianxing, not telling them. Now seeing Bai Zhiqing hastily heading upstairs, that premonition became even stronger, intuition telling her that Bai Zhiqing must be hiding something.
But what exactly was Bai Zhiqing hiding in her heart, and why wasn’t she saying it? Lin Yafei was a bit puzzled.
"Little man, did you notice Little Qingqing is acting very strange today?" Lin Yafei said to Lu Tianxing.
Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing was first slightly stunned, then recalled Bai Zhiqing’s changes today, and nodded, "It does seem a bit odd, like she’s hiding something from us."
"There must be something weighing on her mind, and it is very important, otherwise, Zhiqing wouldn’t become like this," Lin Yafei said heavily.
"Did Zhiqing go out today?"
"I don’t know; I went out with you."
Lin Yafei shook her head and said, "But, wait for me for a moment, I’ll make a call and find out."
With that, Lin Yafei took out her phone and dialed a number.
A moment later, Lin Yafei slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
After hanging up, Lin Yafei looked at Lu Tianxing and said, "I just learned from the people secretly protecting Little Qingqing that yes, she did go out today, but not for long, just half an hour."
"Only half an hour?"
Lu Tianxing’s brows slowly furrowed: "Do you know what Zhiqing went out for today?"
Intuition told him that Bai Zhiqing’s change was definitely because of this incident.
"I don’t know?"
Lin Yafei shook her head and sighed, "They only knew Zhiqing went to a high-end café in Beijing, but they didn’t know whom she met on the second floor of the café. Because before Zhiqing entered the café, she instructed those secretly protecting her not to approach it, so I temporarily have no way of knowing what Little Qingqing did in the café, whom she met."
"Regardless, Lin Demon, please check who Zhiqing met in that café for me," Lu Tianxing said solemnly.
Lin Yafei gently nodded, "I know what to do."
Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yafei, "Lin Demon, please keep an eye on Zhiqing for me during this period, see if she shows any abnormal behavior, if so, notify me immediately."
"Understood, rest assured, I will definitely watch over Little Qingqing carefully." Lin Yafei nodded solemnly.
"Hm!"
"Alright, I won’t say much more, I’ll go upstairs to see Little Qingqing, see if I can find out something from her."
With that, Lin Yafei stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs.
Watching Lin Yafei’s back, Lu Tianxing sat on the sofa, his face shrouded in smoke filled with contemplation.
Bai Zhiqing’s strange behavior made Lu Tianxing’s heart unconsciously rise with a trace of vigilance, feeling vaguely uneasy inside, as if something was about to happen.
After all, by Bai Zhiqing’s character, if anything really happened, she would certainly discuss it with him at the first opportunity. Yet today, Bai Zhiqing said nothing, instead going upstairs alone, which indicates that whatever Bai Zhiqing is hiding is troublesome and tricky, so she didn’t want to tell him.
After finishing a cigarette, Lu Tianxing remained silent for a while, then immediately took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
The moment the call connected, Lu Tianxing said in a serious tone, "From now on, you must protect my wife around the clock. If you find anything, notify me immediately. If anyone harbors malicious intentions towards my wife, don’t notify me, just do it, and I will back you up."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
"Hm!"
After hanging up, Lu Tianxing’s whole body seemed boneless, leaning completely against the sofa, gazing at the ceiling, making it hard to guess what was on his mind.
...
On the other side, Bai Zhiqing went upstairs and returned to her room, she immediately locked the door.
Leaning against the doorframe, Bai Zhiqing’s face showed not only confusion but also a trace of uncontainable pain. Her eyes were filled with crystal tears, but Bai Zhiqing forcefully held them back, not letting them fall from her eyes.
At this moment, Bai Zhiqing’s mind was in turmoil, and the words spoken by the masked man and the video he showed today were like a curse, constantly echoing in her mind, upsetting her thoughts, making her feel a chaotic mess in her head, unable to calm down.
Meanwhile, Lin Yafei reached Bai Zhiqing’s room door upstairs and gently knocked on it.
