Quick-wear flirting system: being spoiled by gods in the plane

Chapter 165 Even Professors Confess (11)

"Haha, I was watching TV series, so I stayed up a bit late."

Xi Huai: "Really?"

Yu Ci: "Yes."

Yu Ci: "What did the teacher do that kept him up all night?"

Xi Huai: "It's just some students' homework."

Yu Ci: "Is that so?"

Xi Huai: "Yes."

Two people: "..."

We chatted for nothing.

A short while later, the man finished preparing lunch, glanced at the time on his watch, and said, "Come and eat."

Looking at the large table of dishes, Yu Ci smiled and said, "Teacher, you have excellent cooking skills."

The woman's words were somewhat polite, and Xi Huai lowered his eyes, wiping his hands but smiling without saying a word.

The two sat down, and the television played a replay of the news.

Gores Island, hospital white sheet, Sapa confirms the death.

It happened last night.

"Stretch out your hand."

The man called out, and Yu Ci was puzzled.

Xi Huai, holding a handkerchief, said, "You should wipe your hands before eating."

Yu Ci was taken aback, then obediently reached out and let the man wipe her.

[Target corruption value -1:68.]

He had only said it tentatively, but the woman actually reached out her hand to him as if she had no defenses against him.

Xi Huai lowered his eyes, took the woman's smooth, fair hand in his large hand, and felt its cool softness with the slightest touch.

So well-behaved.

Do you treat those young, handsome men the same way?

[Target corruption value +2: 70.]

"..." The handkerchief carefully wiped the woman's tiger's mouth, paused for a moment, and after a long while, Xi Huai said in a hoarse voice: "It's done."

The two began eating calmly, with the television continuing to play.

According to Zhou Zhong, a captain in the Chinese police force, Sapa, the third leader of the criminal group headed by Naw Kham, was shot in the head at 3:20 a.m. today and died on the spot.

"The blurry video footage suggests that the shooter on the helicopter was a young, masked woman, who was suspected to be a member of a criminal group who chose to silence Sapa after her attempt to rescue him failed."

"The original hostages have been safely returned. This is the first time the criminal group has voluntarily released hostages. Is this a return to morality or the last vestige of human conscience? Reporters are currently following up on this..."

The TV volume was just right, not too loud, not too soft, enough to drown out the sounds of the two of them eating.

Xi Huai watched the replay on TV with a calm expression. The beautiful figure on the helicopter was blurred in post-production, and only the outline of her slender figure could be seen.

"What do you think."

Seeing that the woman's gaze remained fixed on the food, Xi Huai asked, "What do you think?"

Yu Ci looked up and met the man's gaze. The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds before Yu Ci smiled and said, "Although I don't usually pay much attention to these things, I have heard of the names of criminals like Naw Kham."

"What they did deserved to die."

A simple evaluation.

Xi Huai lowered his eyes slightly, the light from his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting off his food, and picked up some food for her: "Eat more, you're too thin."

The meat in the bowl piled higher and higher, and Yu Ci quickly covered the bowl: "That's enough, teacher."

Having lost count of how many times he'd heard the title "teacher" today, Xi Huai glanced at the woman indifferently, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "Didn't you say you'd call me by my name in private?"

Yu Cixin understood: "Xi Huai." [Target's corruption value -1:69.]

The man's eyes softened, and the smile at the corners of his mouth deepened: "Mm."

Meanwhile, in the study of another villa.

"..."

The tablet was still playing the midday news on a loop. Yu Zi frowned, staring intently at the figure on the screen.

It was late at night and before dawn, so the video was not very clear; only the woman's outline could be vaguely made out.

Gores Island...

Yu Zi snorted coldly, slammed the document on the table with a loud thud, a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke blurred his gloomy face with each breath.

He hasn't smoked for a long time since his wife ordered him to cultivate a more disciplined lifestyle.

Yu Zi took a deep drag on his cigarette, his eyes turning icy, and picked up the phone to dial a number.

"Have Zhou Zhong answer the phone."

……

Yu Ci was still sleepy after lunch, so Xi Huai didn't stay long and left quickly.

But instead of returning to the apartment across the street, he drove to the familiar seaside villa area.

Inside the living room, several people were standing or sitting around the sofa.

The blond-haired man twisted his still-sore neck and cursed under his breath, "Damn it. They actually left me in the pigsty to sleep with the pigs all night!"

"Several sows kissed me all night!!"

A thin man named Yang Wen, who was typing on a laptop, spoke slowly: "So far, no hospital in China has received any reports of patients with knife wounds. Those people either silenced them or took them back to treat themselves. As for that woman..."

Across from him, Xi Huai was flipping through documents, his pale eyes half-closed and seemingly unmoved.

Suddenly, he stopped flipping through the document. The words "No such person found" were written in large characters, clearly telling Xi Huai that the woman seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Then he vanished from the face of the earth.

"..." Suddenly, the image of someone appeared in his mind. Xi Huai frowned and turned the page with his slender fingers to cover the document.

After a few seconds of silence, his eyelashes trembled slightly and he lowered his head. Xi Huai said in a hoarse voice, "I don't think she and her companions are from Sapa."

Everyone looked up and saw the man sitting on the sofa, whose gentle and refined demeanor resembled a delicate ink painting.

Yang Wen raised his hand in agreement, saying, "I think so too. I investigated the identities she and her companion registered when they entered Gores Island last night. They were registered using information from a prominent Chinese couple that was stolen at a much later time than Sapa entered the country."

Lin Shen frowned: "This only proves that they have an information gap." He looked at Xi Huai, wanting to hear his opinion.

Xi Huai didn't even lift his eyelids. He sat upright with his tall and slender figure, exuding an aura of authority that even overshadowed everyone else present.

He lowered his eyes and continued to flip through the documents, saying softly, "I guess their organization sent people to assassinate Sapa after receiving news of her entry into the country, aiming for the police's bounty. However, due to a lack of intelligence, they didn't expect the auction on Gores Island to be a trap."

This trap, which he had been setting for two years, was meticulously planned step by step. From his promise to cooperate with the Chinese police, to the pretense of auctioning off beauties and slaves, to spreading false rumors that Sapa had an illegitimate child, to luring Sapa into the country on a risky journey, every single step was a scheme to manipulate people's hearts.

"That criminal group never leaves any hostages alive after capturing them," Xi Huai said calmly, glancing at the monkey.

"My intuition is never wrong."

Her pale eyes were calm, and her low, husky voice was firm: "She is not one of Sapa's."

Lin Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, tossed his hair, and leaned back on the sofa: "Alright, trust your intuition. I've already sent my men to investigate."

Xi Huai: "Hmm, let's see if there's any possibility of cooperation."

Lin Shen: "Should we give some instructions to our brothers overseas? Lately, there's been no activity overseas because of killing Sapa, and they're itching to get their hands on him."

Xi Huai: "Soon, just wait."

The fat man gulped down a mouthful of liquor; the icy water flowed into his body, and he clutched his bruised chest, still shaken.

"Putting everything else aside, that woman kicked really hard. High heels, no doubt! I saw the kicks so hard I could practically see a slideshow!"

Hearing his complaints, Lin Shen scoffed: "Who the hell told you that you can't even beat a woman?"

Pointing at the monkey opposite, he said, "Tsk tsk, two grown men, one was knocked unconscious and taken away, and the other was kicked to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, hahahahahahahahaha."
