CHAPTER 671: A PLATOON OF BODYGUARD

What he never expected was for Bai Meiyue to show such a reaction. They all thought that they would be able to pull out of the muddy waters. Dacheng even thought that he had planned everything. He was certain that this time around, Bai Meiyue was going to join them, and with her and Lei Qian’s help, he would be able to raise the bar of winning this battle to at least seventy per cent. Plus, there was also the fact that Yu Miaomiao was gravely injured at the moment. This alone would increase their chances of winning this war.

However, who would have thought that Bai Meiyue was not easy to control? At first, she looked like she was going to join them, but then she suddenly changed her tune. Just what was the woman even thinking? The soldier was confused, but he knew that he couldn’t question Bai Meiyue. He sighed and then walked out of the mansion without questioning Bai Meiyue.

He was aware of the dynamics between Bai Meiyue and Dacheng. Thus, he was not surprised that she refused to help them.

From the beginning, she never once said that she was willing to let Lei Qian join Dacheng and kill Yu Miaomiao.

As soon as the man left, Xiao Wu turned to look at Bai Meiyue. He picked up the map that was sitting on the table and took a good look at it. He studied the map carefully and then turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying, "Should we help Dacheng? Once he dies, maybe that side will turn quiet as well."

"We can never be sure of that." Bai Meiyue slowly got up from the couch and glanced at Xiao Wu. "But we will worry about that later on. The most important thing for the time being is taking care of Yu Miaomiao. That woman keeps sending spies into the mansion; even if we catch one, she would certainly send more spies once she realises that the spies have failed. So we can only deal with the root cause instead of dealing with the weeds. Yu Miaomiao needs to die, and she needs to die before she can recover from whatever injuries she is suffering from. I will go and ask my brothers to come down; you go and call Ah Qian."

"Of course, I understand." Xiao Wu nodded as he turned around on his feet and rushed out of the mansion.

Xiao Wu brought Lei Qian along with Lei Yan just as Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan came downstairs. The four people turned to look at Bai Meiyue, who set down the map that Dacheng had sent to them. She glanced at them and explained, "Dacheng sent a letter in which he told me that Yu Miaomiao tried to instil more core energy than her body could withstand, which left her with quite severe injuries."

Lei Qian took the map from the coffee table and then carefully looked at the information that was written on the three maps. He raised his head and questioned, "Yu Miaomiao is gravely injured?"

When Bai Meiyue nodded, he very calmly said to the rest of the team, "Then we are going in." He had not quite forgotten that the woman had tried to target his son again and again. More than once at that.

Tonight, he was going to reap her head no matter what the cost.

"How are you going to go in?" Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes and stopped the man from causing any more trouble. "Sit down and think things through." She shook her head and muttered, "How did you even manage to take care of such a big company on your own with that rash personality of yours?" This was something that she couldn’t understand.

Lei Qian parted his lips, but it was Lu Yu, who answered the question, "He has always been reckless, Miss Bai. It’s just that he used to suppress it a lot in the past, but with the world coming to an end, he had stopped doing it altogether."

Once he finished speaking, he suddenly realised what he had done, and Lu Yu turned to look at Lei Qian, who was smiling at him, but the smile never reached his eyes. "Why did you go quiet? Go ahead and keep speaking. Why are you acting all polite all of a sudden?"

"Hehe?"

"Hehe?" Lei Qian mimicked the man, and with a raise of his hand, he smacked the man on the back of his head. "You dare to laugh in my face?"

Lei Qian then turned to look at Bai Meiyue. "I have already thought of a plan." He took out a pen and then started scribbling on the map. He pointed to the three areas that were occupied by Dacheng, Bai Feng and Fox. "Dacheng plans to attack Yu Miaomiao, right? With whatever information we have, it won’t be wrong to say that Bai Feng and Fox might try to kill that woman tonight as well."

"Her injuries are severe, and no matter how strong she is, she would never be able to deal with all three forces at once. She will try to escape from the safe base, and with those three exit ways blocked off, Yu Miaomiao can only escape through the one path that we took the last time we were leaving the safe base. As long as we wait for her there, she is bound to arrive there."

He paused and added, "Do you think that those people don’t understand something so simple? They left that escape way open deliberately. They want to make use of our hands to kill Yu Miaomiao. Tell me, if they didn’t have this plan, why would they even bother to leave any way out? That man has, like, three to four thousand ability users. If he wanted to trap Yu Miaomiao in the safe base, Dacheng could have done it with ease, but he deliberately left this way out for her to escape."
