However, even though Bai Chen always acted alone, the base's suspicion still fell on Bai Xi.
Du Yao protected Bai Xi with a reckless, life-or-death fervor; if the base dared to touch her, he was ready to take them all down with him. For a time, the two sides were locked in a strange stalemate.
Inside the Du Family's villa.
Bai Xi lay languidly on her side on the sofa, tilting her head to look at Du Yao, who was working in the living room.
"What, did that group of people come looking for you again?" Bai Xi frowned, a hint of impatience in her voice. "They're as annoying as flies, honestly."
Du Yao sighed. "You two siblings should tone it down a bit. I'm starting to worry I won't be able to protect you anymore."
Bai Xi rolled her eyes. "Since you already know about us, we're all in the same boat now. Are you still going to work for the Underground City?"
"What else would I do?" Du Yao chuckled lightly.
Bai Xi sat up. "Join us. We will show you the utmost sincerity."
