Chapter 336 Find a way out
Chi Xia was brought into Qu Bai's room.
The moment the door closed, Chi Xia slid down against the door panel, completely exhausted.
Qu Bai's face was full of worry. He half-knelt on the spot to check if she had any injuries.
Chi Xia laughed softly, and said in a very light voice: "I didn't expect that acting is more tiring than fighting. I'm fine. I wonder how Xiang Gu is doing?"
Qu Bai helped her up and brought her into the bedroom. He poured her some water and found a pill for her. "This medicine works very well, but you can't take too much. You can't be so impulsive in the future. Do you understand? I'll ask Xiang Gu later."
Chi Xia nodded, and relaxed. "I never thought that he would use his own life as bait when he said he would help us find a solution."
"Lao K agreed last night that he should meet Huang Xujie today. He made Huang Xujie's favorite noodles in the morning and went to meet him."
Qu Bai sighed: "But the price he paid for doing this is too high, not only for himself, but also for you..."
Chi Xia interrupted him: "He was the one who actually pulled the trigger, and he installed cameras in the right places early on. He had already implemented his plan before I found out. Even if the organization investigates me at that time, there will be video evidence."
Chi Xia also sighed and asked Qu Bai, "How is Ade?"
"It's already recovering. The manor is short-handed right now. Old K has been using Xiang Gu well these past two days. There's still a chance Xiang Gu can survive. Let's not talk about that for now. How are you doing?"
Speaking of this, Chi Xia sat up and his face became serious: "We may have thought wrongly. The research base here has not been moved yet. I heard Lao K tell those people to destroy all research samples."
Each living person is just a sample in his mouth, and his life can be replaced by the word "destruction".
Qu Bai's face darkened, and Chi Xia told him again about her dream last night.
"I don't think Gao Jinhui is still alive now."
Chi Xia said: "But Gao Lan was Lao K's guide for committing crimes. I believe Lao K's feelings for her and everything Lao K did were not only a projection of his own desires, but more of a commitment to Gao Lan's feelings. Because Gao Lan was the one who started this, and after that, Lao K might have tasted some sweetness from it."
Qu Bai handed her some hot water and said, "The situation is tense now. He will definitely find a chance to leave as soon as possible."
Chi Xia grabbed Qu Bai's arm and said, "He can't escape now, but the most important thing now is the victims. You and Ade must get out as soon as possible. Our only goal now is to find his research base. The more he wants to leave as soon as possible, the more dangerous those people will be."
"I've already been to the small building once when he took you for testing."
Qu Bai's face was gloomy: "But what I found was a fake secret passage, which he set up to confuse people."
Chi Xia frowned: "He is a complicated person, so he would use such tricks. Let me think about it, and let me think about it again, where will he make the exit passage?"
"I have already analyzed it."
Qu Bai signaled her not to worry: "After the scene just now, he will let down his guard against me for a short time, give me some time."
Chi Xia nodded: "I hope Luo Xun will make new discoveries. If they get the upper hand, we can take advantage of their momentum. The news that Luo Xun is critically ill means that they have made progress."
"I also received news that the captain of your second team, Lu Tao, brought several groups of people to investigate several companies today." Qu Bai said.
Chi Xia was delighted: "Lv Tao's appearance means Cheng Jiu has been arrested!"
Qu Bai looked at her and asked, "Hmm?"
"Cheng Jiu was originally the bait. Our people have been keeping an eye on him. When I came here, I made an agreement with Luo Xun that once Cheng Jiu is caught, it means that their counterattack is about to begin!"
This was exciting news for both of them. Chi Xia felt that all his strength had returned.
She pulled Qu Bai and said, "Immediately, find a way out immediately. We must ensure the safety of the victims. I am almost certain that he has dispersed his research targets, but there must be smoke bombs in the dispersed places. Luo Xun and the others don't know Lao K very well, so we must have your help."
“Those who can be kept in this base by him…”
Chi Xia pointed his finger downwards and said, "The research value must be higher than that outside, but given his personality, he would leave a small part outside in the same situation, and that place must be the easiest to transfer and control. The rest would be regarded as useless chess pieces by him. The most dangerous ones at the moment are precisely those that have been abandoned."
Qu Bai looked at the time and promised her: "It's almost time. If we continue talking, he will get suspicious. If we leave this room, the relationship between you and me will be very strained. Either I will find a secret way out, or I will find a way to leave openly. In any case, I promise you that I will leave here tonight."
Chi Xia nodded and grabbed his wrist: "Brother, you must be careful."
Qu Bai rubbed her head and said, "I know. Trust me."
"Also." Chi Xia added: "I can still deal with the mercenaries around him with some shady tricks. I will be prepared in advance, so you don't have to worry."
"Um."
Qu Baixiao: "I saw it just now. Compared with them, you win because of your dirty tricks. They are really hard to defend against."
Chi Xia smiled triumphantly.
After coming out of Qu Bai's room, Chi Xia went straight to the room where Yang Shujun was. Because of what happened just now, Chi Xia confidently drove out the woman who was monitoring Yang Shujun.
Qu Bai went to find Lao K.
Chi Xia had just used a fatal blow, so Lao K went back and called a doctor. After a checkup, it was found that there was something wrong with his waist, and there were bruises on his neck where Chi Xia had pinched him.
When Qu Bai walked in, the mirror in his hand was thrown over.
The mirror shattered at Qu Bai's feet. He walked away calmly and said, "You shouldn't use Luo Xun to stimulate her. It's not worth it."
Old K stared at him, thinking of his behavior just now, and couldn't help showing some affection: "Her behavior is within my expectations. I'm just a little surprised that she would really kill someone."
"She is no different from us at heart."
Qu Bai waved his hand to let the people in the room go out: "Has Luo Xun really been in trouble? I have dealt with that person before. I am worried that this is just a smokescreen they released."
"The people I sent out are still reliable." Although Old K said this, his eyes darkened, as if he was considering Qu Bai's words.
Qu Bai hummed and fell silent.
Someone knocked on the door, came in hurriedly, walked to Lao K, and whispered a few words in his ear. Qu Bai saw his face change slightly.
After the other party finished speaking and left, Qu Bai said, "We don't have enough manpower now, we have to think of a solution. I still can't trust Chi Xia."
Old K's brows were filled with worry, and he sighed deeply: "I used Xiang Gu quite well, but I don't know if I can save him. Do you know what my men told me just now?"
Qu Bai looked at him: "What?"
"Those policemen seem to have stretched their hands too far." Lao K said, "What you just said makes sense. It is very likely that they have released a smoke screen for us, and Cheng Jiu has also been arrested."
Qu Bai frowned, and it was obvious that he was not optimistic about Cheng Jiu being arrested.
"He and Chi Xiao know too much, and I don't know what they are investigating secretly."
Lao K sighed: "Do you have a way to get rid of them?"
Qu Bai was embarrassed: "I can only try my best."
“It’s good to have an opportunity.”
Old K patted his knees and said, "I know you still have some people outside. So , I'll let you go, and you... you have to find a way to deal with those two people. And the most important thing is, I want you to see Luo Xun die with your own eyes."
Qu Baimian remained calm and said, "I'll try my best."
His best effort was to try his best, and Old K nodded.
"When will I go out?" Qu Bai asked.
Lao K looked at the time and said, "Tonight, I'll ask someone to take you there. Don't bring Ade with you. Don't blame me. At this juncture, I have to hold something in my hand to be reliable."
Qu Bai frowned, but did not refute, and said: "Okay."
