Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 377 The Sound of Waves Remains the Same (Part Two)

Because the two were talking behind closed doors, and the content of their conversation was very sensitive, it was really not appropriate to elaborate further.

So, what exactly did Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling discuss during the time they were behind closed doors, and how deeply did they go about it?
No one knew about it except for themselves.

But it is precisely because no outsiders know this that Xia Yiyi is so conflicted.

How conflicted are you?
So much so that Xia Yiyi's beautiful and delicate eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.

They wanted to maintain the status quo, do nothing, and impose no restrictions, allowing Bai Ling to learn more through the internet in the future so that the people in Beijing could make timely adjustments and take proactive measures.

They also feared that the resulting butterfly effect would push the world of Beijing, which had just been reborn from the flames of war, back into the abyss, causing future generations to suffer the consequences and affecting the in-depth cooperation between the two worlds.

In short, there's a reason for everything, and no matter what you do, there's a perfectly valid and appropriate justification.

Xia Yiyi, who really didn't know what to do, immediately fell into a dilemma.

While Xia Yiyi's face was full of struggle and she was frowning in thought, Bai Ling was also filled with inner conflict and extremely conflicted.

Her dilemma was almost identical to Xia Yiyi's; she also wanted to continue using the phone to learn more about the future, but she feared that the information about the future was too explosive and might accidentally spread throughout the world of Beijing, causing terrible consequences that no one could predict.

Two close sisters, who were not related by blood but shared the same plight, even felt a sense of empathy at this moment.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Seeing that Bai Ling hadn't commented on the matter after waiting for a long time, Xia Yiyi said speechlessly.

"Big sister, we're discussing this! What should we do? Give us your opinion! Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think my answer is written all over my face?!"

Seeing that Xia Yi had been holding back for a long time, she finally blurted out this sentence.

Bai Ling really wanted to reply to her.

"Isn't that how you see me too?! You don't even know what to do yourself, and you're asking me? You're asking me?! Who am I supposed to ask?!"

But now is clearly not the time to be rambling on about random things!
And because of time constraints, the two of them really didn't have the time to waste on these trivial matters.

Therefore, it was truly very sincere and exceptionally straightforward.

Bai Ling, equally at a loss, decided to remain single.

"I don't know what to do either! Besides, the initiative is in your hands, okay?! Whether to impose restrictions or not is entirely up to you! How would I know what to do?! At most, I can only inform you of the situation here. Do you think I can actually make the decision for you?!"

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Xia Yiyi, who seemed completely unreasonable, and then told Xia Yiyi all the information she had kept to herself and hadn't told anyone, as well as the two warnings Lao Luo had given her, both overt and covert.

Xia Yiyi became increasingly conflicted, unsure of what to do.

Helpless and with no other options, Xia Yiyi had no choice but to target Bai Ling directly.

Without any hesitation, she asked directly and bluntly.

"What I fear most is that you won't be able to accept this blow. So, as the only person in the world who knows the truth about Beijing, what is your current mental state? Or, to put it bluntly, have you been affected at all? Have you gone mad?"

"You're the one who's crazy! I don't even know how lucid I am!"

"Then why were you so angry just now? You almost came through the internet cable to hit me!"

Seeing that we'd come full circle back to this very issue, Bai Ling said irritably.

"Nonsense! You've been undermining us! You've even betrayed the backbone of our nation, the hope of our country! If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you be furious?! Let me tell you, it's only because you weren't with me that I couldn't catch you. Otherwise, based on this alone, I would have definitely given you a good fight!"

Xia Yiyi was incredibly embarrassed by what she said.

He could only wave his hands repeatedly, awkwardly ending the conversation by claiming it was a slip of the tongue.

Then, the two fell silent again.

It wasn't until Xia Yiyi's subordinates, the professionals responsible for assisting Ximen Lang throughout the day, sent her a message informing her that Ximen Lang's training was about to end and he would be returning shortly.

Realizing that she could no longer delay, Xia Yiyi made a difficult decision.

That means maintaining the status quo.

"I won't impose any restrictions on your two phones, but you need to be mindful of what you say. Avoid sharing sensitive information that could have serious consequences with anyone!"

"Even if you really can't help it and have to say it, you must first inform us and have my professional team conduct a risk assessment before you can tentatively tell Lao Luo first."

“If any step in the process goes wrong, you must immediately stop your dangerous behavior! You are absolutely not allowed to act on your own initiative! Do you understand what I mean?”

Bai Ling could understand Xia Yiyi's decision.

In fact, as she came into contact with more and more information, and with Lao Luo's two serious warnings in succession, she became more and more cautious and careful than ever about this information about the future that could potentially affect the daily lives of people in Beijing and cause huge changes.

She didn't dare to casually reveal this information without absolute certainty.

So, this was the final result Xia Yiyi gave.

Bai Ling, who was immediately relieved, understood and agreed to Xia Yiyi's decision.

Then, fearing that Bai Ling might be traumatized by these messages and develop mental problems, Xia Yiyi took advantage of the last bit of time to give her a few more words of advice.

"Of course, if, and I mean if, you feel any discomfort, please feel free to call me anytime. I will immediately arrange the most professional psychological guidance for you to help you get out of this predicament as soon as possible."

Once she was sure there was nothing more to say or anything she had forgotten, Xia Yiyi reluctantly hung up the phone.

Then, no sooner had he hung up the call than Ximen Lang arrived with a bag full of food and drinks, rushing over to take care of him.

The various expressions of concern and care moved Xia Yiyi to tears.

It was confirmed that after this period of rest, Ximen Lang had been able to gain initial control over his power.

Swayed by a mix of complex emotions, Xia Yiyi immediately made a decision.
"I can't stand this awful place any longer. Come on, let's go home!"

Ximen Lang did indeed go home with Xia Yiyi, but the home they went to was not Xia Yiyi's home, but Ximen Lang's home.

That 400-square-meter apartment that I bought but never really lived in for more than a few days!

At first, Ximen Lang, who had gotten used to spending the night at Xia Yiyi's place, didn't quite understand.

"Weren't we going to your house? Why did you come all the way to my house?" But when he heard Xia Yiyi's self-righteous reply...
"What do you mean 'your home' and 'my home'? Is there a difference? Aren't they all our homes?"

Ximen Lang immediately fell silent.

Indeed, although they haven't formally gone through the wedding ceremony or gotten married properly, they still haven't registered their marriage.
But this involved winning over Bai Ling and also winning over his own parents.

marry?

Isn't that just a matter of time?
Like Bai Ling, they will become a family sooner or later!

Since we're all family now, why bother with these trivial details?
Plus, Xia Yi dragged me home today, which clearly means something big is going on!

Under such circumstances, Ximen Lang certainly wouldn't be so tactless as to argue with Xia Yiyi about these things at this critical juncture.

Without saying a word, Ximen Lang, who had been holding back for so long, immediately took advantage of the situation and demonstrated his cultivation results from the past few days to Xia Yiyi on the spot.

"Let me tell you, because I, Lang-ge, am a genius, my training these past few days has been incredibly fast! See this ceiling in our house?"

"If this had happened before, my head would have hit the ceiling if I jumped like that. But now, look at this, look closely, pay attention, look at my self-control!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang jumped up from the spot.

In Xia Yi's twitching gaze, there was no technique whatsoever, not even a running start; it was all brute force.

Wow, that's over a meter high! (The highest vertical jump record for a professional basketball player is 117 centimeters.)

In addition, Ximen Lang himself is a tall man of 1.8 meters.

The visual effects are absolutely stunning!
With ease, Ximen Lang's head reached the ceiling, which was over 3 meters high.

He truly achieved what Ximen Lang said: "Reach but don't touch!"
Then, Xia Yiyi, who had just decided to give herself to Ximen Lang, was so frightened by Ximen Lang's actions that she couldn't help but back down.

The reason is very simple.

Although Ximen Lang did prove his excellent body control.
But this doesn't look like a normal person at all!

Look at how leisurely and at ease he is!
That's about the limit for other people, but what about him?

With a casual jump, he completely overwhelmed everyone's innate talent and hard work!
He's a complete monster!

How could Xia Yiyi, who was still inexperienced in such matters, possibly keep her composure?

Because she was genuinely afraid that Ximen Lang would cause her some trouble, Xia Yiyi immediately had the thought of backing down.

However, the problem is that Ximen Lang's emotions have already been stirred up by Xia Yiyi's various overt and covert hints.

With his arrow already on the bowstring and ready to be released, how could Ximen Lang possibly give up just because of a few words from her?

We have to give it a try, and only if there's absolutely no other way should we consider giving up.
So, after Ximen Lang's persistent and relentless persuasion...
They even went so far as to bring up Bai Ling, saying something like that.
"Believe in yourself, you can do it! If Bai Ling can do it, you definitely can too!"

This finally calmed Xia Yiyi's anxious heart.

Half-heartedly, Xia Yiyi, the little lamb with a huge contrast between her previous and current self, was carried back to the bedroom in a princess carry by the big bad wolf Ximen Lang.

And then, nothing happened.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day, when Xia Yiyi was still aching all over, as if she had been hit by a truck traveling at 180 miles per hour, that she finally recovered slowly under Ximen Lang's meticulous care.

Then, as soon as she regained her composure, Xia Yiyi immediately pointed at Ximen Lang's nose and started cursing.

As for what exactly they were saying...
Since most of the language used is vulgar, we won't show it all here.

Anyway, Ximen Lang was severely scolded!

He was so badly scolded that he couldn't even lift his head!
He couldn't even defend himself, nor could he exonerate himself.

They could only swallow their anger and endure the barrage of insults, which came like a violent storm.

With meticulous care, Xia Yiyi finally calmed down and stopped arguing with Ximen Lang about the issue.

They were genuinely afraid that Ximen Lang would get carried away at night and do it again!
We had just started talking about the topic last night when Ximen Lang interrupted us, causing us to lose all contact and never be able to bring it up again.

Xia Yiyi directly confronted Ximen Lang.

"Aren't you going back there tomorrow? Go back to collect your hard-earned monthly salary of only a hundred or so yuan."

"Perfect timing. The new batch of supplies to be delivered, as well as the equipment for the battalion I told you about last time, have all arrived gradually after these two days of preparation."

"Fine, let's not wait until tomorrow. Tonight, you and the rest of us can get out of here!"

Of course, this was all done to prevent Simon from being swayed by the elaborate setup and completely captivated by them.

Before getting rid of Ximen Lang completely, Xia Yiyi has to give it a try no matter what.

That is to try one more time to persuade Ximen Lang.

Especially regarding wages, this is a key area that Xia Yiyi focuses on taking care of!
"It's only a hundred or so yuan in total, do you really need to care so much?! Think about it carefully, do you really need a hundred or so yuan? If you really need this little bit of money, just say so!"

"Don't give me that nonsense about their purchasing power being stronger than ours! I'll give you a million, or ten million if a million isn't enough! I'll even give you a hundred million!"

"Just say the word, and I'll transfer this 100 million to your account right away. I absolutely won't renege on the deal. What do you say?!"

Unfortunately, she was interrupted by Ximen Lang's words, "You spendthrift woman," as soon as she finished speaking.

then
She was directly rejected by Ximen Lang, who said it wasn't about the money at all, but about going to see the excitement, and that he couldn't miss this excitement no matter what.

Seeing that Ximen Lang was truly determined to join in the fun, and that all the reasons he gave were indeed reasonable and impossible to refute, she realized that Ximen Lang was really determined to join in the fun.

On the contrary, if she continues to pester him, she will become the one who is unreasonable!

Helpless, Xia Yiyi had no choice but to stop her pointless persuasion.

He then pulled out a list of the goods for this transaction from the bedside table and handed it directly to Simon Lang.

Sure enough, Ximen Lang didn't even glance at the lists.

I just tossed it into my pocket and never paid any more attention to it.
