Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 411 Too anxious to eat hot tofu

Xia Yiyi really didn't expect Bai Ling to have so many tricks up her sleeve and such deep schemes.

"I told you to be less scheming and more sincere, but I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Sister Ling."

After a barrage of criticism, Bai Ling was extremely embarrassed.

However, it is definitely impossible for them to admit it.

At least until Xia Yiyi finds a weakness in him and leaves him with no way to defend himself, he absolutely cannot admit to anything!
Therefore, even though things had progressed to this point, Bai Ling still did not admit it directly, but instead tried to explain.

"I only found out because you guys were talking about this. Of course, I admit, I really have no resistance to your submarines."

"But that was because your conversation got so heated that I didn't actually have any intention of hitting on you at first."

"It wasn't until Ah Lang brought out the Type 096 nuclear submarine that I couldn't help but say that. But that's understandable, isn't it? After all, with something this good right here, who could resist being tempted!"

The explanation, which did make some sense, earned Ximen Lang's complete agreement.

Ignoring Xia Yiyi's sharp gaze, he began to defend Bai Ling.

"Of course! After all, it's our stuff right here! Such a good thing, if this submarine weren't our own, I'd be tempted too! Not to mention Ling'er!"

"So, this really isn't Ling'er's fault. We were the ones who lured her in with 096 first. It's understandable that she was tempted."

"Excusable my foot!"

Seeing that Ximen Lang was really being played by Bai Ling, Xia Yiyi said angrily.

"I don't know if you're pretending to be stupid, or if you're genuinely naive like me! Even after all this, you still believe her nonsense?"

I think what Ximen Lang did was really outrageous and brainless.

Thinking of a certain possibility, and Ximen Lang's biased favoritism towards the world of Beijing, Xia Yiyi felt completely at a loss.

"Wait a minute, you're not in cahoots with Sister Ling to play me, are you? Otherwise, why would you believe everything she says? Don't you have any brains at all?"

Good heavens, this casual guess actually led Xia Yi to the truth.

Ximen Lang was embarrassed.

Yes, just as Xia Yiyi had predicted, Ximen Lang was indeed teaming up with Bai Ling to play her.

Even the reason for playing her was exactly the same, entirely to help the world of Sijiu City, so that his second hometown, Sijiu City, could quickly gain the power to protect itself and establish a foothold there.

His guess was exactly the same as Xia Yi's. Do you think it was hard for Ximen Lang to keep up?

So, unsurprisingly, Ximen Lang was indeed pretending to be ignorant, putting on an act with Bai Ling to fool him.

Xia Yiyi immediately became furious.

"Are you two out of your minds?! You two actually teamed up against me! You really think I'm Japanese?! You're utterly shameless!"

Seeing that Xia Yiyi had clearly misunderstood, he was genuinely furious.

Of course, the main point is that he and Bai Ling really went too far this time.

They went so far that even Ximen Lang and Bai Ling felt embarrassed.

Therefore, Xia Yiyi was so angry with him and Bai Ling that she was completely out of control.

Ximen Lang quickly explained.

"You've misunderstood, Yi Yi. I, Ximen Lang, swear to God, Bai Ling and I never discussed playing you. This is just a coincidence!"

Since things had already come to this, Ximen Lang decided to just drop everything. "Like you, I only realized that Ling'er had her eye on our submarine after hearing what she just said."

"Of course, I must admit that after figuring things out, I did go along with it and gave them a helping hand."

"But this isn't all bad news for us! Like those retired aircraft from the Air Force, those retired tanks from the Army, and those ships from the Navy that are completely outdated."

"It's a waste to leave these things lying around. If we let them continue to serve, they'll only slow down our progress! Instead of doing that, we might as well make use of them and give them a bargain."

"In this way, their military strength will be significantly enhanced, and we can go into battle with a lighter burden and make a huge profit! It's a win-win situation—it's a direct win-win situation! Why not do it?"

Xia Yiyi knew, of course, that cooperating with Sijiu City World was a win-win situation.

"But isn't it a bit too much for you to treat me like this?! You're treating me like a Japanese person. If you were in your shoes, wouldn't you be angry?!"

"I've already said we're family, let's be more sincere and less manipulative, but you still try to trick me like this, and even ganged up on me! Don't you think you're going too far?!"

He unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving Ximen Lang unable to lift his head.

Even Bai Ling, who was on the other side, looked extremely embarrassed.

Xia Yiyi could see that her little actions with Ximen Lang were not hidden from her eyes at all.

Following Ximen Lang, Bai Ling also hurriedly offered an explanation.

"I'm just afraid that if I bring it up rashly, I might offend you and you won't agree. Also, it's similar to Ah Lang's situation. I only got this wicked idea because I saw you guys suddenly talking about the submariners' food."

"So, in a way, you guys got me involved. That's not an exaggeration."

"Oh? So, in that case, it's my fault?"

"That was not what I meant."

"That's not what I meant? Then what did I mean? You're not wrong, and Ah Lang isn't wrong either, so the only one who's wrong is me, right?!"

Good heavens, his words were so barbed and sarcastic that Bai Ling was mortified.

They could only apologize to Xia Yi honestly, together with Ximen Lang.

And made a guarantee on the spot.
"Yi-yi, don't worry, from now on I will definitely say what I mean and I will never play these tricks on you again!"

That sincerity finally calmed Xia Yiyi down.

Because this matter truly has immense benefits for future generations, and it is something that future generations absolutely cannot ignore.

Bai Ling was frank with her, and Xia Yiyi was equally open with her.

He directly revealed some inside information to Bai Ling.

"Since we've come this far, I won't hide it from you. We've actually had this plan all along, and we've been making these preparations. This way, while your strength is enhanced, we can also move forward with a lighter burden and reap some benefits."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's face unconsciously lit up with joy, and she blurted out a sentence.

"You're willing to do this? That's wonderful!"

Bai Ling hadn't even finished speaking when Xia Yiyi interrupted her.

"However, at least in the short term, submarines are definitely not an option! It's not because you offended me just now, but because things are moving too fast. You're accepting far too many new things right now, and too quickly!"

　I'll try to produce a small burst of chapters today and see if I can manage to write three.
