Chapter 91: When Did You All…

The sky was bright, but the rain hadn’t stopped yet.

Those who didn’t have to go to school or work could keep enjoying the holiday in bed, bickering with teammates.

But there were still some people who had been busy all night, just returning from outside.

There were three County Towns around Baiyuan City, and the largest one had the best transportation.

However, it was tucked behind a mountain, shielded by a layer of Natural Shielding Net.

A tall man walked down from the highway, entered a small mud house by the road, took off his dirty white gloves, and removed his rain-soaked helmet, tossing it aside.

Several people were already waiting for him inside.

“Driver, is it handled?”

“Of course. In a few days, you’ll see it in the news,” he said.

“Not a single one escaped.”

On a rainy night in the mountains, even on the highway, a minibus wouldn’t just happen to pass by.

Unless someone was looking for them.

The former ordinary members of the Association couldn’t escape Baiyuan City in the end and remained forever in this heavy rain.

“Thank you, everyone. Now, let’s discuss the most important tasks ahead.”

The person in the center of the room turned around.

He wore a gray coat, looking ordinary at first glance, but there was something about him that made it clear he was the boss.

He looked exactly like the Leader of Baiyuan City!

If Su Qingyu appeared here, she would be a hundred percent sure of her conclusion—this was indeed the [Organizational Structure], no doubt about it.

“What should we do about those girls from Baiyuan City?”

Everyone in the room fell silent.

The Subbranch set up by the Association in the County Town had few people, but it was not an ordinary Subbranch.

Hidden beside the city, the County Town Subbranch supported and supplemented the city’s Subbranch, mostly serving a rarely used function.

–If the city’s Subbranch was wiped out, they had to take over, handle the aftermath, and then organize the revenge plan.

This time, Yellow Spring Candle wasn’t needed.

The Head’s Shared Memory made the events at the Restaurant Base known to all of them.

Tomorrow’s Star of the management family, the Golden-Haired Girl Su Qingyu with the Magic Flute and Melodica, could dodge bullets—not the kind where you stand at a podium and get lucky, dodging a rifle bullet from two hundred meters, but the kind where even if you shot from point-blank, you couldn’t hit her.

The unknown black-haired girl was actually the owner of the Pocket Watch.

Not only could she skillfully use its power, but she was also physically strong and played cards well—almost movie-level sleight of hand.

The last one, a locally famous rich and beautiful girl, very pretty with a big chest, seemed unremarkable except for one powerful move—she could disable all mysterious items.

That single ability was harder to deal with than all the others combined.

“How about shifting the disaster east, and driving the tiger to swallow the wolf?”

Someone suggested.

“That Su Qingyu kept the Pocket Watch a secret and didn’t dare ask her family for help. If we have an insider report this to them, let’s see how they handle it.”

Everyone thought the suggestion was good and that it should’ve been done long ago.

Only the Leader remained silent, either deep in thought or communicating with someone unknown.

***

Bai Xiaoya couldn’t remember what time she slept last night.

Anyway, when she opened her eyes and saw 9:30 on her phone, it was just about time for fatigue reset.

She’d been stir-fried again—by two chefs at once.

She closed her eyes and rested for a moment.

The big-chested girl rolled over and saw Su Qingyu and Bai Xia sitting on the windowsill, holding paper and pens, pointing and drawing.

“First, I’ll submit Mirage. In a few days, I’ll hand in Heavenly Superstar, and then a few days later…this way, I can drag it out for at least twenty days. Even if the higher-ups ask, I have plenty of excuses.”

Su Qingyu said this, writing the number 20 on the paper.

“You got so many spoils of war and did so much alone. Won’t your family suspect you?”

Bai Xia asked.

Su Qingyu shrugged.

“I’ll just say they don’t know me well. Each item arrived separately, so they got caught by me one by one.”

“What if it’s discovered that your information was leaked a long time ago?”

Bai Xia stopped halfway, then suddenly understood.

“So that’s it.”

Su Qingyu laughed too.

“That’s right. Anyone who mentions this is an insider.”

In theory, her information shouldn’t leak.

If it did, it meant there was an insider—only an insider would know.

If anyone dared say so, Su Qingyu would immediately jump up and claim she deliberately gave false information in her report as bait.

See?

The insider exposed themselves.

“Similarly, the same goes for the Pocket Watch. Only the Association members who fought us know it exists. So whoever talks about it is an insider. I hid the Pocket Watch’s existence on purpose to fish out spies.”

Su Qingyu revealed her clever plan.

“As for what to do about the Pocket Watch, that’s easy. When the time comes, I’ll write a report to the family, saying I value your potential and character, and since we’ve fought the Association together several times, I think the family needs talents like you, so I’ve been trialing you.”

“Same stalling tactic. No need to really join, just drag it out.”

She picked up the pen again and wrote on the paper.

“Internal Strife Over Traitors, and the Trial Application for Newcomers—the former takes at least half a month, the latter even more. If you want to stall, two months minimum.”

15, 60.

“If the Association thinks of all this and doesn’t act, we’ll have even more time. So…”

The Golden-Haired Girl pointed hard at the paper, full of confidence.

“At least three months!”

Hearing this number, Bai Xia also felt relieved.

Three months, huh?

In three months, how many missions could they do, how many times could they stir-fry the Big White Rabbit, how strong would she become after three months—she couldn’t even imagine it.

“What are you doing?”

Bai Xiaoya’s voice pulled the girls back to reality.

“Aya, you’re awake~”

Su Qingyu was the first to react, jumping lightly off the windowsill and sitting on Bai Xiaoya.

“Aya, you need to exercise more, see how late you woke up.”

Hearing this, Bai Xia secretly rolled her eyes.

She thought, if it wasn’t for the phone call and official business, and her body pumping adrenaline, she probably wouldn’t have woken up either.

And come to think of it, with you like this, why are you telling her to exercise?

What if Bai Xiaoya really followed your advice and went to train?

Then again, every time you start something, you give up halfway and leave the rest to me.

Even if Bai Xiaoya gets stronger, I’ll just be the one with more headaches.

So why are you, the quickest to collapse, acting so arrogant?

Come to think of it, Bai Xiaoya really didn’t know how the battle went last night.

After all, it was pitch black, a chaotic mix-up, and she was a bit dizzy from all the stir-frying.

The innocent, big-chested girl just wanted to ask one question.

“When did you two get so close?”

Even stir-frying is done together now.
