The arrival of Fang Qing brought happiness to Bing Tianyi, but at the same time, a sense of unease. Reflecting on the recent series of events, Bing Tianyi couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.
According to Bing Tianyi's current judgment, everyone around him who had a good relationship with him could potentially be implicated.
He needed to leave; it was essential for Fang Qing to leave quickly.
Before coming, Fang Qing thought that Bing Tianyi would be very happy to see him, but unexpectedly, Bing Tianyi's expression revealed something different.
"What's wrong? Are you not happy to see me?" Fang Qing asked.
Facing Fang Qing's inquiry, Bing Tianyi forced a smile and said, "Happy, of course I'm happy. But your timing is not right."
Fang Qing stood up, wandered around the room, and then smiled at Bing Tianyi, asking, "What? Is there no beauty hidden in this room?"
Seeing Fang Qing's playful demeanor, Bing Tianyi replied candidly, "There are indeed no beauties. Can you sit down and listen to me?"
"Sure, go ahead," Fang Qing said like a child sitting beside him, eagerly looking at Bing Tianyi with a grin.
Bing Tianyi sighed and told Fang Qing directly, "I've encountered some trouble recently, so it's best if you leave quickly. I don't want to drag you into this."
"It's okay; I don't plan on leaving this time," Fang Qing said with a glance at the messy room and added softly with a smile, "I think I’ll help you tidy up the room while you handle your own matters."
"No way, you have to go," Bing Tianyi insisted firmly, staring intently at Fang Qing and speaking sternly.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing frowned and asked, "Do you not like me anymore?"
"I've made it very clear; this isn't about liking or disliking. I just want you to stay alive, do you understand?" Bing Tianyi said emphatically to Fang Qing.
Fang Qing furrowed her brows in thought, but she quickly stabilized her emotions and sat down on the nearby chair, looking at Bing Tianyi and quietly asking, "What’s going on? You need to tell me. If the problem is really serious, I will leave."
"Are you serious?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Fang Qing retorted.
Bing Tianyi shook his head and smiled, "Not about this."
"Then that’s settled. You should tell me what happened; otherwise, I’ll be quite uneasy," Fang Qing asked earnestly.
Bing Tianyi thought for a moment. Since things had already reached this point, if he didn’t explain everything clearly, Fang Qing would definitely not leave.
He considered that Fang Qing had already faced many hardships in life. If she were to lose her life because of his issues, he would never find peace even in death.
Realizing this, Bing Tianyi shared everything he knew with Fang Qing. Upon hearing this, Fang Qing looked stunned and asked Bing Tianyi in disbelief, "How could this happen? You’re not lying to me, are you?"
"Have I ever lied to you?" Bing Tianyi mimicked Fang Qing's earlier tone.
Fang Qing shook her head and murmured softly, "No, but how could this happen?"
"I’m not sure either. But since it has come to this, just follow my arrangements. Once I handle things here in Lan City, I will come to get you. How does that sound?" Bing Tianyi asked with a smile, his face filled with seriousness.
Fang Qing nodded and said, "Alright, I trust you this time."
"It’s not about trust; it’s what we must do. It’s getting late now; let me take you to the station," Bing Tianyi said as he stood up and walked toward the door.
After experiencing the dream last night, Bing Tianyi knew that it wouldn’t hurt to do some divination for himself now. However, he realized that divination needed to be done at night; it was morning now, so it was obviously not the right time for it.
Just as he was about to send Fang Qing out the door, his phone suddenly rang. Upon answering the call, the voice on the other end asked curiously, "Brother Bing, did you sleep well last night?"
"Have you brought everyone over?" Bing Tianyi asked directly.
On the other end of the phone, Mouse chuckled and replied, "That's a must."
"I'll see you in the construction site office in forty minutes," Bing Tianyi instructed Mouse.
Bing Tianyi knew that their construction site was designed according to feng shui principles. No matter how capable the Elemental Envoy was, the chances of figuring out any tricks at Bing Tianyi's site were very slim.
After hanging up, Bing Tianyi hurried to the construction site after dropping Fang Qing off at the station. In this situation, time was extremely valuable to him, as he had no idea when the Elemental Envoy would come looking for him.
By making arrangements in advance, he increased his chances of success.
It didn't take long for Bing Tianyi to arrive at the construction site. He pushed open the office door and saw Mouse, Old Huang, and twelve brothers brought over from Huating County Town, all sitting quietly in the office.
Upon seeing Bing Tianyi arrive, they all stood up and greeted him with smiles.
Bing Tianyi nodded and smiled back. After exchanging a few casual remarks, he got straight to the point: "Brothers, you have been working under me for two years now. While that may not seem long, it’s also not short. Through our interactions during this time, you must have a good understanding of what kind of person I am, and I have a pretty good idea of who you are as well."
"Boss, just tell us what you need. There's no need to beat around the bush," one of the brothers said eagerly. They had learned from Old Huang last night that this mission was not simple, so they wanted to act quickly.
Everyone understood the principle of striking first.
