Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Seeing that Ximen Lang was getting impatient with what she was saying, Bai Ling realized that she had indeed gone too far and quickly stopped Ximen Lang from walking away.

She dared not mention face or anything like that again, and Bai Ling immediately gave in.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. I was too greedy, I was short-sighted. Please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person."

After much persuasion, they finally managed to calm Ximen Lang down, causing him to regain his composure and temporarily quell his rage.

Knowing that Ximen Lang was indeed doing this for his own good and for the good of Beijing, that's why he did it.

Sniffing, Bai Ling sighed, half-probing and half-guiding.

"Of course I know how to make money, and I'm willing to put aside my pride and flatter Xia Yiyi for the sake of our development. But if I do that, it will bring a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"That means we definitely need to talk more!"

"What's wrong with chatting a little longer? What, are you worried I'll get jealous if you talk on the phone for too long?"

Upon hearing Ximen Lang's immediate remark, Bai Ling couldn't hold back any longer.

"No, what are you talking about? We're just two girls chatting, why are you jealous? This has nothing to do with anything, why would I worry? It doesn't make sense."

I'm truly impressed by Ximen Lang's ability to seize every opportunity to crack jokes and make light of things. I didn't give Ximen Lang a chance to continue his off-topic thinking or chattering away.

"To be frank," Bai Ling said bluntly.

"Chatting isn't the issue; the key is the topics. If you chat almost every day, and for a long time at a time, the topics will definitely be all over the place—anything and everything! If you say something wrong..."

This was exactly what Ximen Lang was most worried about.

Chatting is fine, but I'm worried they might talk about something they shouldn't, and then cause some trouble.

Therefore, this was a precaution against Bai Ling suddenly giving him this shot.

As expected, Ximen Lang immediately fell into a prolonged dilemma.

As Ximen Lang immediately fell into a dilemma, Bai Ling's heart jumped into her throat.

Until, Ximen Lang, whose face was contorted with worry, blurted out these words.

"Bai Ling, can I trust you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling knew that the most crucial and important test yet had arrived.

If she can get through this test, her already close relationship with Ximen Lang will definitely be able to reach a new level, truly achieving the point of sharing the same bed in life, the same grave in death, and being bound together in life and death.

Along with her, the entire world of Beijing will surely reap endless benefits.

But what if he can't hold out and his answer doesn't satisfy Ximen Lang?
The result was absolutely disastrous!

Not only is the current favorable situation in Beijing likely to be ruined, but her relationship with Ximen Lang will also immediately develop an unhealable rift.

To say that a couple will henceforth live in the same bed but dream different dreams and become estranged is an oversimplification!
It's even possible that, just as Lao Luo feared, Ximen Lang abandoned the entire city of Beijing, found a corner where no one could find him, and never came out again!

Thinking of the terrifying consequences that could be described as a nightmare, Bai Ling's mood began to become uneasy.

I even regretted it a little, wondering why I was so impulsive.

Why not be more conservative and listen to Lao Luo (Luo Yonghao) – don't rush, take it one step at a time.

Unfortunately, the conversation had already veered off to this point.

From the moment Ximen Lang suggested that she talk to Xia Yiyi more often and that she couldn't refuse, this was an issue they were bound to face and couldn't avoid.

In addition, Ximen Lang's emotions have remained quite stable.

Therefore, Bai Ling took the opportunity to raise this question, boldly breaking through this barrier.

So you really can't blame Bai Ling for this.
It's pointless to dwell on who's right and who's wrong, or whether I was reckless again.

The most important thing is how to respond to Simon Lang's question as quickly as possible.

Moreover, it's about making the right response as quickly as possible, and a perfect response.

So, after a moment of regret, Bai Ling immediately fell into a dilemma again.

I'm struggling with how to answer correctly.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Ling still couldn't come up with a perfect way to respond.

Moreover, the more anxious you are, the less solutions you can come up with, and the less you can sort things out.

And so, as time went by.
It's not just anxious, it's agonizing!

Both Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were suffering immensely and finding it extremely difficult to endure.

It wasn't until the torment in Ximen Lang's heart began to show on his face, and he was about to collapse, even wanting to slip away immediately.

Suddenly realizing something, Bai Ling felt completely enlightened and immediately relaxed.

Then, they immediately began to act.

Bai Ling pressed down on Ximen Lang's shoulder with one hand, holding him firmly in place to prevent him from escaping.

Then, forehead to forehead, eye to eye, he saw the sincerity in her eyes.

Having done all this, he had effectively calmed down the anxious and restless Ximen Lang.

Finally, Bai Ling unleashed her ultimate technique, sincerity.

You can always trust me!

Can you trust me forever?

This is absolutely the most beautiful love confession Simon Lang has ever heard.

How moving is it?
As soon as Bai Ling uttered those words, Ximen Lang's anxious and restless heart immediately calmed down.

In addition, there was the almost tangible sincerity in Bai Ling's eyes.
What is perfect love?
This is the most perfect love in the world!
This is also the most perfect love that Ximen Lang has always longed for!
So, after their rollercoaster of emotions, like riding a rollercoaster, finally calmed down, the two of them finally found peace.

Soon, they were completely filled with new emotions.

Neither Bai Ling nor Ximen Lang could wait even a moment longer!

In full view of everyone, the two, who were truly moved, embraced each other tightly.

Then, a snap of the fingers came down.

It happened so suddenly, so irrationally.

The two most important people in the world of Beijing today disappeared abruptly, right before everyone's eyes.

So when the guards in the surrounding area quickly reported the situation to Lao Luo, Lao Luo was completely dumbfounded!

What do I feel?
It felt like the sky had fallen!
Old Luo immediately became agitated. He grabbed the guard's collar and began to question him impatiently.

"What?! They're both gone! Both of them are gone?! Gone together?! Or did they both die after experiencing a violent emotional upheaval?! Why?! Why did it turn out like this?! Everything was fine before!!"

Luo Yonghao truly couldn't understand why such a thing had happened!
Even if Bai Ling secretly went through the internet to the future and gave Xia Yi a good dressing down, Lao Luo would try his best to accept it and do everything he could to minimize the impact of the matter and help Bai Ling handle the aftermath.

But now, both of them are gone!
Moreover, judging from what the guards said, it seemed that they would all perish after the showdown failed.

This was something Lao Luo couldn't imagine, and dared not think about!
Because the moment his mind started racing, he couldn't stop the nightmare image of the two of them completely abandoning the world of Beijing and never coming back!

This feeling would absolutely drive Lao Luo crazy!

Therefore, in order to avoid thinking in this highly probable direction.

Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, Lao Luo practically shouted.

He immediately issued a foolish order.

"What are you all standing there for?! Get to them now! Mobilize everyone you can! Turn Beijing upside down, we have to find them!"

This is truly an order that couldn't be worse!

In the past, when a big shot like Luo Yonghao spoke, and in such an unyielding tone, it would have been an order.

Even if it means sacrificing countless lives, Hao Pingchuan and his team would definitely put their own lives aside and carry out the order immediately!

But this matter involves Ximen Lang and Bai Ling, especially since there is Gao Cheng outside who is completely on the side of the future.

This requires careful consideration.

And it is precisely at times like these that we must be even more cautious.

Therefore, for the first time in his life, Hao Pingchuan disobeyed orders.

Seeing that Lao Luo was under immense pressure and was almost overwhelmed, Hao Pingchuan, who never faltered at crucial moments, stepped forward immediately.

He immediately called back the guards who had run off to relay the order.

This really angered Lao Luo, who was already in a bad mood.

One sentence.
"Hao Pingchuan, are you going to disobey orders?!"

Luo Yonghao yelled at him directly.

But Hao Pingchuan remained unmoved.

Not only did he remain unmoved, he even overstepped his bounds and issued new orders to all officers and soldiers of the guard battalion in the name of the battalion commander.

The news must be immediately blocked; it must not be allowed to leak out, especially not to the ears of Takashiro.

And
"Notify our personnel to immediately enter combat readiness! But on the surface, we absolutely cannot let the other side see it! Then, remain silent and await my next order!"

This is way more radical than Luo Yonghao's!

The task was to immediately put the forces in the Four Nine Cities world on a state of combat readiness, but without letting the people in the future, that is, Gao Cheng's subordinates, know it. After that, they had to remain silent and wait for his next order.

The deeper meaning here is something even Lao Luo dares not contemplate!

Therefore, seeing that Hao Pingchuan was so extreme, even more impulsive than himself!

Intimidated by Hao Pingchuan, Lao Luo immediately calmed down.

But it did not stop it.

It wasn't until this veteran of the guard battalion, this veteran of the Beijing city world, under pressure from Hao Pingchuan, accepted the new order and went out to relay it.

Luo was both greatly gratified and filled with complex emotions as he finally spoke.

"Hao Pingchuan, you're being a bit too radical. Things haven't reached that point yet, and even if they had, what you're doing is a bit too much."

Although Lao Luo didn't directly say what Hao Pingchuan did was wrong, they were both veterans who had fought on the battlefield, so they knew each other well!
Therefore, when they saw Lao Luo, they immediately misunderstood and even thought that he was going to make a move against Gao Cheng and the others.

Hao Pingchuan couldn't hold back any longer and said.

"My dear father, what are you thinking?! While I did have our people keep an eye on them and even stop them at crucial moments, that's all! I would never give the order to subdue them unless absolutely necessary!"

"What do you think it is? To harm them? Please, they are our own brothers, from the same clan, and they are our lovely juniors who have helped us a lot! How could I possibly harm them! I'm not saying this to you, Lao Luo, but your heart is a bit too dirty, isn't it?"

This made Lao Luo feel quite awkward.

Then, they hurriedly tried to find the missing pieces.

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant too, that's what I meant too."

I repeated this twice, and that's exactly what I meant.

Whether he convinced Hao Pingchuan or not, Lao Luo didn't know, and he didn't care to know; in any case, he had certainly convinced himself.

After his turbulent emotions completely subsided following this little incident, Lao Luo immediately realized his mistake and admitted it.

"I was out of my mind. I acted rashly and gave such an order. I should reflect on my actions."

Then I started to feel fortunate.

"Thank goodness you were there and stopped me in time. Otherwise, with my chaotic fate, who knows what kind of trouble I would have caused!"

Luo Yonghao has regained his composure.

In Ximen Lang's words...
"Intelligence has regained its dominance."

Then there's nothing for me to do here.

Because no matter what unexpected situation arises, Lao Luo, whose IQ has returned to its peak, will definitely be able to handle it perfectly.

He has already handled it perfectly, so I should just obediently follow orders.

It saves me from wasting so many brain cells, and it doesn't fit my style.

Thinking this way, Hao Pingchuan felt much more relaxed.

First, they gave Lao Luo a good talking-to.

"Don't say that, Lao Luo. All the pressure is on you right now. Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated. It's normal to lose control of your emotions occasionally. Besides, you've calmed down again, haven't you? Nothing's wrong, it's really not that serious."

Then, Hao Pingchuan tentatively shared his insights.

"Luo, this is just my personal opinion. Anyway, I think it's definitely not as bad as you think. Brother Lang... I don't know, but Bai Ling definitely won't abandon us!"

"Do you remember? Our soldiers just reported that when they left, they were hugging each other tightly and even kissing! Although their emotions were definitely running high, this doesn't seem like a breakdown in negotiations!"

"They might be getting really into it right now. So, try to be more positive. Let's be patient and wait a bit. At least once we've gotten through this period and have a clearer picture, we can stop worrying."

"For now, it's best to prioritize stability." (End of Chapter)
