Chapter 177 Just a Little Bit More
"Squeak——"

Lin Xiao had just touched the door in front of her, and before she could even exert any force, the door shook and made a piercing sound.

She paused, closed her eyes briefly, and then reluctantly opened the door.

Sure enough, the door opened, revealing the two men guarding the outside, their faces expressionless.

They stood on either side, and Qiqi looked at the people inside the doorway without prior arrangement.

Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly, and she smiled shyly.

"Excuse me, gentlemen! I just... opened the door to get some fresh air."

She chuckled, immediately grabbed the dilapidated door, opened the wooden door, and walked to the doorway. She stretched, her face full of enjoyment.

It seems they really have been locked up for too long and are feeling stifled.

"The air outside is definitely better!"

As Lin Xiao spoke, she naturally took a tentative step outside.

Her bright eyes scanned the surroundings with great sensitivity, and sensing no danger, her expression immediately became lively.

She walked smoothly to the two mercenaries, glanced at their bulging waists without making a sound, pretended not to see anything, and sat down next to them with complete ease.

May I sit here for a while?

She looked at the two people in front of her, winked playfully, and tried her best to appear very innocent and harmless.

The one who was more affectionate than indifferent only glanced at her, then turned and left with an impatient expression!

The disgust on his face almost completely revealed what he was thinking!
Women are trouble!

As he walked to the other side, he coldly informed another person, "I'll go keep watch on the other side!"

The person who was left behind did not have sharp facial features; his gentle eyebrows and eyes made him appear more mild-mannered.

And his voice was indeed as gentle as Lin Xiao had guessed.

"Sit down! As long as you don't go outside, nothing will happen."

After saying that, he even took a bottle of mineral water from the table next to him and handed it to her.

Lin Xiao looked at the bottled water in her hand, remained silent for a while, and then tentatively asked, "Thank you, sir! What's your name?"

The man's sharp eyes suddenly looked over.

Lin Xiao paused, then forced a smile. "I was just asking casually; I wanted to find someone to chat with!"

"If you don't want to..."

"Mingko!"

Lin Xiao paused halfway through her sentence, and her smile brightened considerably.

"Brother Ming, thank you!"

“I’ve been locked up here for most of the day, and no one has talked to me except you. You’re kind enough to say a few words to me.”

Are you from China too?

She knelt with her knees together, holding the bottled water that had just been handed to her in both hands, and looked up at him intently, appearing incredibly obedient.

Mingke was surprised that the person who had been kidnapped was not afraid at all, and even chatted with him with great interest.

He looked at the person in front of him with some surprise, and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever encountered someone so audacious.

It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

However, thinking about her question, Mingke fell completely silent.

Just when Lin Xiao thought Ming Ke wouldn't continue answering him, he heard a man's clear and gentle voice.

"That was true before, but now..."

He chuckled softly, not continuing, but merely glanced at her with a faint look, "Asking anything is not a good habit."

"I... I'm just curious!" Lin Xiao laughed frankly. "Besides, I've mostly seen people like you on TV before, so I'm curious."

"But... you brought so much stuff into the country, you must have your own dedicated transport channel, right?"

Mingke glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

Lin Xiao knew when to stop and quickly changed the subject.

Do you know Xu Yan?

Seeing Mingke looking over, Lin Xiao complained with a hint of resentment, "This afternoon Xu Yan said he wanted to make a deal with me, but before he could finish speaking, he ran off without saying a word."

"No one has shown up yet."

She glanced around at Yi Yan with a huff, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort, but still suppressed her temper and turned to ask Ming Ke, "Then do you know where Xu Yan went?"

Mingke scrutinized Lin Xiao, seemingly trying to determine whether her words were true or false. After a long while, he finally spoke, "He went up the mountain!"

"On the mountain? You have people on the mountain?"

Lin Xiao quickly pressed for an answer!
They did indeed have other plans.

Especially last time, the fact that they arranged for people to leave directly from the air definitely attracted a lot of attention from above!
So this time... they will definitely choose a safer method.

After not hearing the answer she wanted for a long time, Lin Xiao looked up and saw Ming Ke's probing eyes.

She clicked her tongue lightly, as if she was quite disgusted by Mingke's dawdling.

"Why are you, a grown man, speaking so haltingly? If you can speak, then speak; if you can't, then don't."

"Besides, I'm now a partner that Xu Yan has been trying to win over! We're all in the same boat, it's just a matter of asking a few more questions, really!"

She looked away, somewhat annoyed, and seemed genuinely angry.

Mingke was well aware of how much importance the people above him placed on this person.

In particular, after their previous conversation, even Xu Yan was considering using information from the organization to gain her cooperation.

He can't afford to mess with this person now.

"That was not what I meant."

He chuckled softly, then turned and sat down on the wooden railing opposite Lin Xiao.

"But Xu Yan hasn't given us any specific instructions yet, so we dare not tell you more."

There's really nothing to hide.

Since we've gone to great lengths to enter the country this time, we naturally need to be fully prepared.

So…you know.

Lin Xiao pursed her lips and muttered something under her breath, sounding a little disgusted.

"Fine, I won't tell you then. I don't want to hear it anyway!"

She gave a mock low-pitched murmur and quickly changed the subject.

"But... what happened to the people you kidnapped from the zoo? That shouldn't be against the rules, right?"

"Still lying in the house! But that kid looked pretty good in a fight. I didn't expect him to be so weak. He was knocked unconscious after just one burst of bullets."

"Unconscious? Aren't you afraid something bad will happen?"

A flicker of anxiety flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, and her tone became somewhat agitated.

Mingke was taken aback by her sudden outburst of emotion, and looked at her uncertainly, "Are you that afraid something will happen to him?"

"But are you worried about him getting into trouble, or is it because of his identity?"

"You... know who he is?" Lin Xiao asked uncertainly.

Ming Ke chuckled softly, staring into Lin Xiao's eyes as he slowly said, "A person whose identity information is completely kept secret... besides the authorities, where else could it be?"

Lin Xiao frowned deeply. "Aren't you afraid that the other side will get involved? After all... no matter how many people you bring this time, they are no match for the military."

"You're that worried about him? You even brought in the military to save him! Could it be that you and him..." Mingke raised an eyebrow and winked knowingly, "Hmm?"

Lin Xiao was so speechless by his words that she almost couldn't catch her breath, her face turning bright red.

She instinctively wanted to retort, but then she remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she immediately changed her expression.

"How...how did you know?"

Her flushed face, coupled with her murmured words, seemed to serve as the most compelling evidence.

"I'm just worried something's happened to him! Can you tell me where he is? I just want to see him!"

Lin Xiao spoke with utmost sincerity.

Mingke clicked his tongue lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then immediately nodded.

"Alright! Good thing you ran into me! If it had been that stubborn mule, you could have been separated from your lover forever!"

As he spoke, Mingke stood up, seemingly genuinely intending to take her there.

"He's right now..."

"Mingko!"

Mingke was interrupted by a stern shout before he could finish speaking!
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and sure enough, they saw the familiar cold face that had just left.

A hint of regret flashed subtly in Lin Xiao's eyes.

Tsk!
Just a little bit closer!
