Chapter 651: Case Complicated?
"Aren’t you looking at him way too long?" Lei Qian’s sour voice spoke from behind, and Bai Meiyue sighed. She turned and looked at the man who was pouting as if she had cheated on him, right on his face at that.
Bai Meiyue arched a brow and said to him, "I wasn’t staring at Meng Qibao. I was lost in thought; why would I stare at a man who is younger than me by many years?"
"He is only one year younger!"
"He is still a baby for me." Bai Meiyue sighed and pushed the man’s face away from her own. She was not, in fact, an actual eighteen-year-old woman. She was way older, even older than Lei Qian if she were to count her soul age. So how could she be interested in Meng Qibao? A man who was only seventeen years old.
Lei Qian still didn’t look like he was satisfied with her response, but Bai Meiyue didn’t care about him. She got to her feet while cradling her big belly. "Are you done interrogating the men you caught yesterday?"
"I did ask some of the military men who came with us to deal with those men, including my own guards. They should be done by now," replied Lei Qian.
After they started building the safe base, a bunch of special guards who had taken care of and followed Lei Qian in the past turned up at the safe base. As many of them were skilled and high-ranking ability users, Bai Meiyue allowed them to stay in the safe base; what was more, she heard some whispers about Lei Wu. Though that man was not having a good time in the safe area that was under Yu Miaomiao’s control, Lei Wu seemed to have gotten the hang of awakening his powers. Even though Bai Meiyue had poisoned his own core, that man somehow managed to awaken, which could only mean one thing: that bastard ingested the life core of another ability user.
Bai Meiyue gritted her teeth in disgust when she thought about the ruthless and disgusting thing that the man had done.
Taking a life and even eating the life core of another human, Lei Wu was even worse than an animal!
After hearing these rumours, she realised that she could never allow that man to rise to power. If Lei Wu somehow managed to get as strong as Lei Qian, then it would bring them endless trouble.
It was my mistake; I underestimated that bastard way too much by putting him in the same rank as Bai Xue, thought Bai Meiyue. She thought that the man would never be able to do something as cruel as killing and eating another human’s flesh, but she was the one who messed up. Bai Meiyue blamed herself for not taking Lei Qian’s warnings seriously when he told her that Lei Wu would go to any lengths, do anything that was humanly possible to defeat him.
By underestimating her enemy, she allowed that man to cause trouble for her and Lei Qian. That was why she allowed these special guards to join the base, as she could see that they were honestly loyal to Lei Qian and his family; having them in the base would certainly add another layer of security for her and her child.
She turned to look at Lei Qian and said to him, "Your cousin seems to have awakened as well; I heard it from Xiao Wu, who went to deliver goods to the safe base. You should learn to be careful in the next few days; I don’t think that man will stay quiet after awakening."
Lei Qian sneered. He said to her, "Of course, he is not going to stay quiet. That man has never been one to accept defeat silently. Since he awakened, he will certainly come looking for me. But it’s not like I am scared of him," snorted Lei Qian. He also knew that Lei Wu had awakened; he was not even surprised that the man had somehow managed to awaken with his weak body. However, he was not overly worried.
There was no point in worrying, for the man was not going to let him off just because he was worried.
Bai Meiyue glanced at the man. She didn’t say anything; as long as he knew that Lei Wu had awakened and had a plan to deal with him, she was not going to interfere in his battles, not unless he couldn’t take care of them on his own. She pursed his lips and said to him, "Let’s go to the basement; we need to get answers." Since she had caught those men, Bai Meiyue wanted to know what those people were trying to do by sneaking into her house so late
Lei Qian nodded and then took Bai Meiyue’s hand before bringing her to the basement of the mansion where they were staying. As soon as Bai Meiyue opened the door of the basement, she could hear the cries of the men who were being held by the Lei Family’s special guards. She frowned slightly when she heard those shrill screams. Would Yu Miaomiao send someone as weak as these men to steal her child? Bai Meiyue never thought that these people would be so weak that they would start crying for their mothers and the heavens after just a few punches. Now she was a bit doubtful.
The men sent by Yu Miaomiao must be a bit stronger, but these people were way too weak!
"Are you okay? Do you want to leave?" Lei Qian thought that Bai Meiyue was frowning hard because she was troubled by the screams of these men who were caught by them.
Bai Meiyue shook her head and said to him, "I am alright. Last night I thought that these people were sent to the safe base by Yu Miaomiao, but now I think that’s not the case; they must have some other reason to sneak into our base."
