Chapter 594: 323 Asking for a beating_2

Fang Yuxin seemed rather difficult to handle. However, that woman looked quite smart, and since she had no interest in Zhao Qiankun, there was no need to make an enemy of her...

Han Lingxi silently observed everyone’s reactions in the hall and quietly selected her suitable pawns. The moment she saw Bai Ye, her eyes lit up—this man was just too handsome! And from any angle, he strangely appealed to her tastes!

Han Lingxi stuck out her tongue and licked her fiery red lips, her gaze at Bai Ye revealing an imperceptible greed!

Bai Ye was very perceptive. He noticed Han Lingxi’s gaze and subconsciously looked over, seeing her walking with Zhao Qiankun, and could not help but frown. Although Han Lingxi quickly withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at him, Bai Ye was certain that it was Han Lingxi who had been watching him.

What does this woman want? To look at him with such a disgusting gaze!

Bai Ye initially felt that if there was food available he might as well eat, but now Han Lingxi had completely spoiled his appetite, causing him to throw his plate aside and move to another spot to continue drinking.

Han Lingxi stopped watching Bai Ye, especially with Zhao Qiankun by her side. Although he wasn’t clever enough, he was no fool. If she made it too obvious, he would definitely notice!

She still felt a bit of regret, but unexpectedly, Zhao Qiankun dismissed a few subservient people and then suddenly led her toward Bai Ye. Han Lingxi was somewhat shocked. She glanced at Zhao Qiankun and saw him staring at Bai Ye with almost blatant malice, which startled her and even made her worry about Bai Ye. Zhao Qiankun was not someone to mess with; anyone he targeted was bound for a bad end!

Han Lingxi wondered, how had Bai Ye offended Zhao Qiankun? However, seeing Bai Yi not far away, she instantly understood. Zhao Qiankun wasn’t specifically targeting Bai Ye but rather taking the opportunity to strike at the Bai Family! She felt a pity inside. Bai Ye looked so appealing to her, but now Zhao Qiankun was using him to target the Bai Family, and the handsome man’s fate was all too clear.

Compared to Han Lingxi’s regret, Bai Ye was much more composed. He held a glass of wine, drinking slowly. Watching Zhao Qiankun approach him, he was calm, acting as if he saw nothing.

Others watching this scene all felt anxious, sneakily watching, curious about what Zhao Qiankun intended to do. Then, they saw Zhao Qiankun walk up to Bai Ye, surprisingly raising his glass to him and loudly laughing, "Bai Ye, right? I’ve heard you took down the notorious Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps today. You are a hero! I toast to you!"

Bai Ye slightly raised an eyebrow but didn’t cooperate by drinking. Instead, he said, "There was no one else present at the time, Mr. Zhao, how did you know?"

Zhao Qiankun was immediately displeased. His status as the second most powerful force in Beishi Base and squad leader of the Qiankun Mercenary Corps meant his offer to drink was a favor to Bai Ye. Bai Ye not only didn’t drink but even questioned him! He was about to lose his temper when he suddenly heard Han Lingxi laughingly say, "True heroes are indeed different from ordinary people, even their focus is different. Mr. Bai, Brother Kun rarely takes the initiative to toast someone; you can’t disrespect Brother Kun like this."

Her voice, carrying a laugh, sounded neither aggressive nor easy to refuse. Han Lingxi was inherently captivating, and after Awakening her Spiritual Power, her allure was greater than ever. Any other man, hearing her soft and ethereal voice, would likely be dazed and obediently drink. Bai Ye, however, was unaffected.

He even put down his glass and raised his voice, "No, until things are clear, I can’t drink this. Mr. Zhao, how exactly did you come to know I killed the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps?"

His tone was somewhat aggressive, making him seem a bit ungracious, but the astute ones noticed the crux of the matter. The Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps was notorious, yet adept at disguise, appearing and disappearing without trace, and those who knew their identities had almost all died. How did Bai Ye manage to kill these people? And how did Zhao Qiankun come to know about it? Could it be that Zhao Qiankun had special ways to monitor people?

Everyone thought of this and couldn’t help but recall the communicators on their wrists. They wouldn’t forget that these communicators came from Zhao Qiankun’s laboratory. Could it be that he had tampered with them without their knowledge? However, these communicators had been inspected by someone they brought back!

No one liked being monitored, ordinary people let alone, and especially not when everyone here was an influential figure from various forces within Beishi Base. How could they tolerate being spied on?

Thus, Bai Ye’s counter-question stirred anxiety among many, leading them to look suspiciously at Zhao Qiankun.

Zhao Qiankun, having been through many tribulations, naturally wouldn’t panic because of a few words; he calmly spoke, "At the time, someone happened to pass by, saw from a distance, and then told me. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Bai Ye looked deeply at him, didn’t explicitly say he was dissatisfied, but with a mocking smile said, "I see, I just wonder who could be so capable, seeing from a distance, to know it was the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps." After speaking, he picked up his glass, gestured to Zhao Qiankun, then in front of Zhao Qiankun’s stiff expression, downed it in one go.

Finishing, he even praised, "Mr. Zhao really is wealthy, I haven’t had such good wine in a long time." His insolent manner almost drove Zhao Qiankun mad enough to flay him alive! (To be continued.
