“Tsk Tsk,” Fia suddenly remarked, realizing that her father had quite an eye for unique characters. She casually pointed out, “Look at that fiery team leader, Sister Killer, and then there's this out-of-place Idol Sister right in front of me.” After pouting slightly, she began counting on her fingers.
Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
However, this fellow didn’t speak much about the ‘sisters,’ and her attitude was relatively decent.
Perhaps it was also related to the absence of Weimar. The team that ambushed Fia had three strong individuals who had grasped the concept of power, so it was understandable that they managed to push Weimar back.
Yet, from Yang Xiaoyou's understanding of Weimar, she was the type who would sacrifice her life for Fia. Now that she was missing, it was likely that Fia, who knew her well, was also quite worried. Although she appeared to be conversing normally with herself, Yang Xiaoyou sensed a hint of distraction in her demeanor.
With so much time passed without any sign of Weimar, it was likely that she had encountered some irresistible circumstances—perhaps severe injuries or even life-threatening situations.
“Where did Feng Lin run off to?” Qi Menglu muttered as she glanced around the beach. Chen Hao’s presence was simply too dazzling; it made her feel like she might get zapped by his energy. It was better not to be a third wheel.
However, Sister Huang Ling was easy to get along with—gentle in nature and not prone to anger. She was also quite attractive, and most importantly, it seemed like they got along very well.
Originally, this outing was meant for Chen Hao and Huang Ling as a couple; however, Huang Ling was shy. After arriving together, Qi Menglu realized that she really didn’t have much to do with them most of the time.
Feng Lin, whom she had dragged along, disliked this atmosphere even more. She wandered around the corners of the beach, searching for odd stones and shells.
When they reached the area of the beach where Feng Lin often played, Qi Menglu spotted her in their usual spot—barefoot and wearing a bear hat along with a white dress.
At that moment, Feng Lin was poking at some strange object with a stick, looking quite bored.
At the edge of the tidal waves, the surf occasionally lapped at her feet, smoothing out the nearby sand. As Qi Menglu walked across the smooth beach, she left behind adorable footprints in the sand.
"What is that? It looks like a person." As she approached slowly, Qi Menglu expressed her curiosity. However, she soon realized that it wasn't just a resemblance; it was indeed a person.
"Mm." Feng Lin responded with a light hum, as succinct as ever, but continued to poke the unconscious figure with a dry branch. Judging by the body shape, it appeared to be a woman with a decent physique.
After receiving Feng Lin's confirmation, Qi Menglu gasped and covered her mouth. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the woman had several wounds on her body. Although she suspected that this lady might have some issues regarding her identity, after hesitating for a moment, she ultimately decided to take her in.
"Tsk tsk, it seems your leader has taken advantage of this opportunity to gain an edge in other aspects," Yang Xiaoyou remarked from within the Beach Villa where their travel agency was located.
At that moment, the villa's hall was divided into three groups. One group consisted of the fortunate travelers who had survived and some staff from the travel agency. The second group included Yang Xiaoyou, Charming Shadow, Dream Butterfly, and the brain-dead fan.
The last group comprised Fia and Liu Lianyue along with their companions, who had also turned this place into a temporary stronghold. After Weimar went missing, Fia found herself in a protective vacuum and had no choice but to mingle with Liu Lianyue's group for the time being; after all, they certainly didn't want anything to happen to Fia.
Although they hadn't found Weimar yet, some information gathered by police personnel conducting searches outside indicated that her body had not been discovered either. Since no body was found, it wasn't the worst outcome.
Once her emotions settled down, Fia began to assess the problems they faced and shot Liu Lianyue a glance.
Fia could clearly see the initial intent behind the attack on their faction's headquarters. If successful, it would undoubtedly deal a severe blow to their organization.
However, through her channels, she had received some information and combined it with her current judgment. Their leader had seized upon this situation to turn the tables on their adversaries after identifying their flaws.
The passive impact inflicted on the enemy was even greater than what they would have suffered if an assassination attempt during negotiations had succeeded.
Moreover, the current outcome was that due to the intervention of a mysterious force, the Tongtang Party Headquarters had not achieved its objectives and had been schemed against once more—losing everything while gaining nothing.
Although Fia and her group were fine now, it was evident that according to the initial plan, they were meant to be used as pawns.
This left Fia feeling quite displeased, which was why she subtly hinted at Liu Lianyue.
Upon hearing this implication, Liu Lianyue furrowed her brows but did not express any overt reaction. Given her overly passionate nature, as long as the final outcome was favorable, she could probably accept being treated as a pawn. Moreover, they still retained most of their strength. However, with some members having died, she certainly felt uneasy about that.
Seeing Liu Lianyue's expression, Fia roughly understood her thoughts. It was hard to believe that there were still such overly passionate individuals in this day and age, and she couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain.
As for the third-party force that had intervened, she had a rough idea about it. There was a twenty percent chance they were ambush troops sent by the Radicals' Leader, but a seventy percent likelihood they were from Hive Security. Moreover, after resolving the situation without revealing themselves, it was highly probable that it was that elusive helmeted man. The remaining ten percent could be attributed to unforeseen factors.
"I didn't expect their response to be so quick. My master, now we are your people, so this problem is up to you to handle," Charming Shadow said from the other side. She still wore her alluring black bikini, with just a towel draped over her shoulders, exuding charm.
The breath against Yang Xiaoyou's ear was filled with an enticing allure.
If it weren't for Dream Butterfly's assistance in suppressing his urges, Yang Xiaoyou might have been tempted to pounce and resolve the accumulated tension from the recent killings immediately.
The current environment clearly did not allow for such actions.
"Hive Security Company is a whole; they won't abandon any member. As for Revenant? Heh, if I get the chance, I would want to seek him out myself," Yang Xiaoyou said lazily while leaning back on the sofa. A glint of cold light flashed briefly in his half-closed eyes as if he were about to fall asleep.
