Chapter 554: 302 Interrogation (Second Update)

He smiled at Fang Yuxin, then continued, "Yuxin, you said you suspect Zhao Qiankun, and I just remembered something. It is said that Zhao Qiankun is an Enhancement Ability User, and it seems he’s also an Ancient Martial Inheritor, skilled in some powerful martial arts. Based on the information I’ve got, he should be a Third-level Peak Superpower User, but... it seems that many parts of his body have been enhanced. Whether it’s strength, speed, defense, or senses, they all seem to be enhanced, not quite like what you’d expect from a normal Enhancement Ability User."

Fang Yuyang, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "What do you mean by that? Have you figured something out?"

Bai Ye glanced at him and, without holding a grudge, said, "Considering our earlier speculations, if Zhao Qiankun really has obtained some future technologies, then... is it possible that his body has been enhanced by some kind of drug?"

Before the apocalypse, there were already many drugs on the market that could improve one’s physique, though the effects were not very strong. However, they did have some health improvements. So, could there be an enhanced version of such drugs in the future? The kind that could dramatically improve a person’s physique instantly, just like the enhancement of a superpower.

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang were not fools. Once Bai Ye mentioned this, they both thought of it. They couldn’t say for sure what the future might hold, or what other advanced civilizations might exist; they just felt that Bai Ye’s guess was highly possible!

In the end, Fang Yuxin concluded, "No matter what, there’s definitely someone at Beishi Base who possesses more advanced technology. Even if that person isn’t Zhao Qiankun, it must be some other individual. For now, Zhao Qiankun appears to be our prime suspect, and we must be extra cautious in the future! Bai Ye, you too be careful, if this person can use surveillance on my family, they might do the same to others."

Bai Ye nodded to show his understanding but felt rather uneasy inside. If the spy drone was indeed deployed by Zhao Qiankun, then his likely target for surveillance could be Fang Yuxin! The thought of that shameless bastard Zhao Qiankun setting his sights on Fang Yuxin made him feel especially uncomfortable, like he wanted to hide her away from everyone else’s view!

Fang Yuxin had come specifically to discuss Zhao Qiankun and the drone with Bai Ye, to warn him. Now that they had finished talking, Fang Yuyang said, "Alright, we’ve made everything clear to you now. You can carry on with your work; we’re heading back."

Bai Ye immediately protested, "Wait! Yuxin, don’t go!"

Fang Yuxin looked at him in surprise, "Is there something else?"

Bai Ye felt uneasy but couldn’t come up with a good excuse to keep Fang Yuxin there, so after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yuxin, have you figured out what to do with Qian Lang and the others? They still don’t have a place to stay, do they?"

Upon remembering Qian Lang and the others, Fang Yuxin also seemed troubled. But before she could speak, Fang Yuyang interjected, "They can squeeze in with Chen Qiao and the others for now. Housing is scarce, and it’s not easy to get a place to stay at the moment. That’s the only solution."

"Let me help you buy a place," Bai Ye said immediately.

But Fang Yuyang showed no intention of accepting the offer and rejected it flatly, "No need for a house. We’ve already troubled you and your family too many times. It wouldn’t be right to impose again. Besides, your own people are also squeezed together, aren’t they? If you help us out once more, the Bai Family people would probably not agree."

The White Wolf Mercenary Corps from the Bai Family employed over fifty thousand people. While the elite leaders had strong abilities, those at the bottom had average skills and had to live in cramped conditions. Despite Beishi Base being large, the existing housing was far too scarce for the massive population, so many were forced to share tight spaces. Even with the Bai Family’s strong influence, it wasn’t possible to monopolize all the living quarters.

Bai Ye’s own household conditions were decent, but further down the ranks, many people were sharing bunk beds in crowded apartments. Bai Zhengli had previously helped the Fang Family purchase two apartments, and this had already led to much idle talk within the White Wolf Mercenary Corps. If Bai Ye were to lend a hand again, their position within the Mercenary Corps would become even more awkward.

The Fang Family were somewhat aware of the internal strife between the direct and collateral lines of the Bai Family and naturally did not want to trouble Bai Ye further.

Upon hearing Fang Yuyang’s words, Bai Ye’s expression darkened. He knew Fang Yuyang meant well, so he didn’t get angry with him. However, thinking about the internal conflicts within the Bai Family and the direct lineage’s increasing pressure over the years left him feeling stifled!

So Bai Ye did not insist on the matter of buying a house but said, "Then let’s do this, Yuxin. If you ever run into any trouble or need my help, just tell me. Don’t be polite with me."

Afterward, Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin left, and Bai Ye didn’t try to keep them any longer. Indeed, he had quite a few matters to attend to; he couldn’t neglect important business for matters of the heart. Bai Qianqian, unburdened by these worries, happily accompanied Fang Yuxin back to the Fang Family. Watching his carefree attitude, Bai Ye felt an itch in his fist and wished he could give him a good pounding!

No sooner had Fang Yuxin and the others left than Bai Ye’s Communicator began to ring. He picked it up to see an unfamiliar number. Yet, when the call connected, Bai Yi’s detestable face appeared on the screen as he coldly said, "What’s the deal between you and Fang Yuxin? I recall she is Qiu Yiming’s fiancée." (To be continued.
