Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 358 A Day Trip to Beijing: Before Victory, Consider Defeat!

Determining in time how much time I can stay in the world of Beijing and how much time I can completely control without any mishaps is absolutely the most important thing right now!
Only by confirming this can Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling boldly begin planning their next move.

Otherwise, what if Ximen Lang suddenly wakes up during the middle of a deep exchange between the two worlds, or even when they are having a heated discussion, and Ximen Lang discovers everything?
No one can guarantee how Ximen Lang will react, or what he might do in a fit of anger.

So, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xia Yiyi immediately asked about this with a serious expression.

Bai Ling immediately got into the zone.

While pondering with a frown, he combined his understanding of Ximen Lang with his own, and asked for more details.

Upon learning that the woman opposite him had immediately poured no less than five bottles of strong, aged liquor down Ximen Lang's throat, mixed with beer and red wine, he realized that she was a tiger.

Just like feeding large livestock, they were afraid of not being able to bring Ximen Lang down.

Bai Ling couldn't hold back any longer.

"Are you crazy?! You made him drink so much liquor all at once, what if something happens?! If anything bad happens to him, who among us can take the responsibility?!"

After Bai Ling said that, Xia Yiyi belatedly realized that she was scared.

"Probably not! He's as strong as a wild bull calf. Even if a lion, tiger, or bear came, he could take them on bare-handed!"

"His physical condition is inhuman. A mere few bottles of baijiu, even if it's mixed with red wine and beer! With his physique, he should be able to handle it, right?"

"And I wasn't completely unprepared. Our top-notch medical and security teams live right next to my house!"

"If something really happens, just press the alarm, and within a minute they'll all be in position and begin first aid for Simon Lang based on his condition!"

What's the key?
The key is.
"Less alcohol might not work! And this opportunity is truly rare! Once we miss it, we might not get another chance! There's no other way but to go all out and pour it in as much as possible!"

Xia Yiyi's words were indeed reasonable, and her preparations were quite thorough.

Bai Ling also suppressed her displeasure.

However, I still gave a reminder.

"We still need to be a little careful; better safe than sorry!"

Then, Bai Ling was immediately embarrassed.

Why?

Because during the month or so that Ximen Lang was in Beijing, he only got drunk once.

It was at the celebration banquet I had with Director Wang before Ximen Lang rose to power.

And now?

Didn't you hear what Xia Yiyi said?

In just half a month, he's become as strong as a wild ox calf!

There weren't many examples to begin with for her to refer to or learn from. Now, even the little experience she had has become completely useless as Ximen Lang has undergone a complete transformation.

In this situation, Bai Ling naturally couldn't give an accurate number.

Having exhausted all other options, the two could only place their last hope in the omnipotent field of science.

However, because Ximen Lang brought Xia Yiyi directly to the Sijiu City World in a flash, without giving her any prior notice so she could prepare, and because the Sijiu City World had extremely poor technology and a severe lack of professional equipment, the reason for this was that...

Science is useless!

After much deliberation, they were at a loss and had no choice but to minimize the time they could spend having in-depth conversations.

Then, within this extremely limited time, before considering victory, they immediately began discussing Xia Yiyi's escape route—that is, how to return safely to the future without arousing Ximen Lang's suspicion as much as possible.

Believe it or not, Xia Yiyi had actually considered this issue.

Especially after she learned that when Bai Ling was unintentionally taken to the future by Ximen Lang last time, she also solved the problem by pretending to be asleep.

As if by prior arrangement, Xia Yiyi, who already had a plan, exhaled a breath of immortal energy onto Bai Ling's face.

That disgusted Bai Ling to no end.

Under Bai Ling's disdainful gaze, Xia Yiyi said helplessly.

"What other options do I have besides pretending to be drunk? Tell me, what better or safer way could I possibly have? And this time, pretending to be drunk is much safer than you pretending to be asleep last time, okay?"

"If he asks me later, I'll just say that I was also completely drunk and passed out, just like him, I also blacked out, and that solves all the problems, right?"

Another sentence.
"To gain that guy's trust and trick him into falling into my trap, I actually held a huge bowl bigger than my face and gulped down two big mouthfuls! I drank it right in front of him! Tell me, how could he possibly doubt me?"

Bai Ling was completely dumbfounded.

This girl is truly ruthless; she's ruthless not only to others but also to herself!
His alcohol tolerance is truly extraordinary!
Bai Ling immediately gave Xia Yi a thumbs up, giving her the highest praise!
"You're awesome!"

As for how Bai Ling should cover for Xia Yiyi...
"That's even simpler. If he tries to subtly inquire later, I can just say I went back to the courtyard house and wasn't in the office!"

Anyway, most of the people Ximen Lang knows are their people, so he's not afraid of being asked for confirmation.

Moreover, given his patience, he wouldn't possibly ask others for confirmation!
With their combined efforts, the two of them completely outmaneuvered Ximen Lang!

There can be absolutely no room for error!
Then, because time was very tight, the two of them didn't have the leisure to chat about trivial matters.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without the utmost politeness.

Xia Yiyi immediately brought up the most important thing, which was also what she cared about most at the moment.

He said without any mercy.

"Originally, I firmly disagreed with your idea of ​​having Ximen Lang go to the countryside to conduct some kind of research without our consent!"

"And it's not just because we've been looked down upon, but also because the world in Beijing right now is indeed very unsafe!"

Bai Ling wanted to explain this further.

Xia Yiyi waved her hand and interrupted directly.

“We have complete historical documents that you can consult at any time! We know even better than you do about the current situation in Beijing, where enemy agents are rampant and the people are extremely fierce! You can’t fool me!”

He completely silenced Bai Ling.

Xia Yiyi continued.

"Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I'm even more worried! You always say your security forces are strong and your security work is thorough."

"But how much time has passed? How long have we been talking face-to-face? And what's the result? The security forces you touted to the skies haven't even made a move!"

"You tell me yourself, given this situation, how can you expect me to believe that you can guarantee Ximen Lang's safety?"

It's not surprising that Xia Yiyi reacted this way.

But the problem is
How do you know we really didn't react at all?

As soon as she finished speaking, a dense array of tiny red dots stunned Xia Yiyi.
