Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bai Jing looked at Chou Hai coldly. She had a good impression of Chou Hai. He had good combat ability, good leadership, and was very sincere. But this time, she was really disappointed.
“What is the relationship between you and Xia Ying? Chou Hai, you have never been a person who doesn’t care about the big picture. Why are you in such a mess this time?”
Chou Hai’s face was flushed red. He did not want to explain and replied anxiously, “I just want to save Xia Ying. Miss Bai, now that we know the best way to save Xia Ying, we will not be losing a single soldier. Please give me an answer quickly. I will personally deliver the firearms immediately!”
Bai Jing shook her head. “Chou Hai, you are really disappointing. You said that we will not lose a single soldier. Then let me ask you, can the production of the firearms be completed in a very short time?”
“N-no, we can’t. I know that Miss Bai’s production of firearms takes a lot of energy, but Xia Ying’s life...”
“Let me ask you again. After you hand over the firearms to Louis, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with him and what right do you have for them to hand over Xia Ying’s life to you?”
Chou Hai was stunned.
Bai Jing continued, “One last question. What do you think is the first thing Louis will do once he got his hands on the firearms?”
Louis had lost the northwest station. At this moment, he wished he could destroy Coiling Dragon. Once they got their hands on the lethal firearms, the first thing they would do would be to counterattack and take back the lost station. At the same time, they would also take care of Coiling Dragon.
“Is this what you meant by not losing a single soldier?”
Chou Hai fell into despair. He knew that it was not because Bai Jing did not want to use the firearms in exchange for Xia Ying’s life, but because she could not.
Xia Ying was not the only one in Coiling Dragon, but there were also many brothers.
He could not watch everyone die because of Xia Ying, but he could not watch Xia Ying die either.
Chou Hai’s expression went from despair to calmness. He knelt down in front of Si Qian with a plop. “Mr. Si, I am grateful for your help and training over the years. Today, I have let you down. I can not watch Xia Ying die and do nothing. I want to find Louis myself. Even if I die, I will save Xia Ying.”
Si Qian frowned as he looked at Chou Hai. Suddenly, he understood. “You like Xia Ying?”
Bai Jing was stunned. She had never understood why the usually reliable Chou Hai had changed so much. She did not expect this to be the reason.
Because he liked her, because he loved her, he could lose his mind and do anything?
She looked at Si Qian and recalled that he had said something similar, saying that she was his life.
Chou Hai did not hide it anymore. “Yes, I like her, I like her very much! I beg Mr. Si to help me!”
“Chou Hai, who do you think I am?”
Chou Hai was stunned. Si Qian asked again, “Do you think I am an ungrateful person?”
Chou Hai quickly shook his head. Si Qian sighed and told him to get up. “Xia Ying became a spy because of me. Although I’m not willing to accept her affection, I won’t deny her efforts. Moreover, Uncle Xia has done me a favor, so I can’t just ignore it.”
Chou Hai was overjoyed. With Si Qian’s approval, Xia Ying would definitely be able to return safely.
Si Qian turned to look at Bai Jing and pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I have to do something that will worry you again. Don’t worry, I will protect myself and save Xia Ying!”
“You want to save her yourself?”
“Yes!”
Bai Jing pushed him away coldly. “I don’t agree!”
Si Qian was stunned. Chou Hai said anxiously, “Miss Bai, what do you want? Xia Ying can’t wait that long. Something bad will happen!”
Bai Jing glared at Chou Hai and said unhappily, “You knew that something bad would happen to Xia Ying? Do you still remember that Si Qian was injured?”
