Chapter 393 - 194: Expedition Army, Set Out!
"Tsk tsk tsk... Is your brother so domestic-scientific?" Luo Xin crossed her legs, leaned back leisurely in her chair, the sweet aroma of hot milk tea wafting from the table, looking completely content. Opposite her sat Gu Ningyi, whose face was slightly pale.
Gu Ningyi looked indifferently at Luo Xin as she lifted the green plant that was blocking her view, revealing a clear sight of Gu Ningzhi and Li You. Hearing Luo Xin’s tease, he slightly twitched his lips and said, "You’re overthinking..."
How could he not understand his own brother’s personality? Domestic? It’s good enough if he’s not a psycho! Of course, he wasn’t stupid and could hear the underlying meaning in Luo Xin’s words. But only a woman with a ’corrupted’ mind could come up with such baseless ideas. Moreover, even if it wasn’t groundless, his brother had so much dominant energy; how could he be domestic?
"Hehe, whether I’m overthinking or whatever, it’s quite exciting to think about." Luo Xin took a sip from her cup, the sweet taste spreading through her mouth, extremely satisfying her taste buds. "Things here are about to wrap up. How are things on your end?"
"Same old, but arrangements are almost complete... Ultimately, they’re just a bunch of bouncing clowns, nothing to fear." Gu Ningyi replied coldly, "Your area is still peaceful; those people don’t dare to stretch their hands over."
Luo Xin smirked, her eyes flashing with a bit of cold light, "With you supporting them, those old foxes indeed don’t dare to make any small moves... In a few days, I plan to return. It will be quite a time-consuming journey, so I’ll have to trouble you to pay more attention during this period. I don’t think those people will give up so easily; you be careful by yourself."
"No problem." Gu Ningyi’s answer was cold, yet it carried a peculiar sense of reliability.
After discussing the serious matters, Luo Xin shed her earlier serious expression, and the atmosphere between the two was no longer so tense. Supporting her chin with one hand, Luo Xin idly stirred her still warm milk tea with a spoon, "To lose to a young girl, it’s really rare and unbelievable. Now I’m curious, what’s your take on this?"
Gu Ningyi didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids, pretending he hadn’t heard Luo Xin’s question, simply ignoring it. Though he seemed indifferent on the surface, he wasn’t so free-spirited internally. Subconsciously knocking on the table with his hand, Gu Ningyi felt it was best to investigate Su Jiameng’s background as soon as possible... How could he not take a strong opponent seriously?
Meanwhile, Gu Ningzhi, caught by Li You, gulped down two cans of beer, pondering how to request leave from him.
Li You, worthy of being Gu Ningzhi’s former partner, knew him very well and immediately saw his hesitation. With a snort, he asked, "If you have something to say, just spit it out, don’t hide it. Aren’t you worried about holding it in? Don’t give me that ’worried’ excuse, you’ve always been reckless, when did you ever ’think twice before acting’ or ’worry about the consequences’?"
Gu Ningzhi chuckled, scratched his head in a completely unflattering manner, and rapidly said, "I have something I need to take care of, and I will probably need a day off. I wanted to ask you now if you could approve the leave?"
Li You twitched his mouth, wondering how come the man could request leave with such confidence?
"If I don’t approve it, won’t you still jump the fence and leave?" Li You scoffed, with a sarcastic tone, "The Expedition Army’s camp might be a fortress to outsiders, but to you, it doesn’t mean much. If one day you don’t feel like staying with the Expedition Army anymore, you can just hop the fence and leave; who can stop you? To prevent you from causing trouble, I’ll have to approve this leave."
Gu Ningzhi seemingly didn’t hear the sarcasm in his words, casually patting Li You Lieutenant General’s shoulder, like two buddies, saying, "Little Squid, you know me best. To live up to your trust, I’ve decided half a day off will be enough. Once I finish the task, I’ll hurry back and definitely won’t linger outside... Little Squid, does that put your mind at ease?"
Li You twitched his lips, finally managing to squeeze out, "Go to hell!"
Time is indeed a cruel butcher’s knife. The once serious and reserved Young Master Gu Er, after wandering for more than thirty years, came back evolved into an underworld ruffian. Letting such a guy into the Expedition Army, Li You suddenly worried... his soldiers wouldn’t be infected by this ’virus’ and turn into his deceitful manner, right?
