The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 851 - 821

Qiao Qiqi asked Feng Xiling to go back to his room, but he insisted on staying with her, fearing that the Spiritual Snake might harm her at night. Qiao Qiqi felt nothing of the sort; in fact, she always felt that the Spiritual Snake might know her.

In the bathroom, all the items were fully equipped, and all were luxurious goods. After showering, someone even brought her a midnight snack. The care shown to her was indeed thorough.

It was truly no different from being at home.

Who exactly is this Spiritual Snake? Qiao Qiqi pondered as she ate a peeled lobster tail.

Feng Xiling was much more tense than her. While Qiao Qiqi didn’t know the Spiritual Snake, he did. They were old neighbors; if he was considered psychopathic, then Spiritual Snake was the definition of psychopathy, not caring about human lives at all.

Of course, he never cared about human lives before, but since Qiao Qiqi cured him, he started considering his future, and so, he began to worry about consequences, not acting as recklessly as he did before.

"Finish eating and sleep early. I’ll stay here and protect you," Feng Xiling said.

"Go back to your room, stop clinging to mine." Qiao Qiqi glared at him speechlessly.

"You’re really unappreciative! That Spiritual Snake is sure to come find you tonight!" Feng Xiling said irritably.

"It would be perfect if he comes; I’m just thinking about having a talk with him." Qiao Qiqi was eager to know who this person really was, and whether she knew him.

"You plan on talking to a venomous snake? Qiao Qiqi, do you really think you’re invincible?"

"I’ve yet to ask, can you be honest with me about your identity now? Is that KB Organization next door yours?" Qiao Qiqi snorted coldly.

Feng Xiling felt a bit guilty thinking about his past deceit towards her and said, "What are you talking about? What KB Organization? I have nothing to do with such a place; I’m just a regular businessman! Just happen to be rich!"

"Oh? Is that so? Then how come you’re so familiar with Spiritual Snake?"

"It’s because I’m a businessman and needed his protection that I got to know him, but we’re not close at all."

He met Spiritual Snake no more than three times before, just passed messages.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

Yeah, right!

In the end, Feng Xiling was ruthlessly driven away by Qiao Qiqi.

Having been through a lot that day, she felt a bit exhausted, laid down, and fell asleep. Though Spiritual Snake said he would release them, she planned to explore the place in the middle of the night. One must be fully prepared for everything.

Moreover, she needed to know what Gu Shili was planning now.

...

At one in the morning, Qiao Qiqi woke up on time. She changed into a set of black attire, fixed her hair, put on a hat, and jumped out of the window.

At the same time, Spiritual Snake received the report saying that Qiao Qiqi had left the room.

The man hadn’t slept; upon hearing the report, he issued orders, "Let her go meet Gu Shili."

The subordinate received the orders and immediately set about executing them; thus, Qiao Qiqi smoothly met Gu Shili.

At this time, Gu Shili was being held in the dungeon; although the conditions there were average, it wasn’t too bad. It was considered a private room with a bed and a private bathroom inside.

When Qiao Qiqi entered, Gu Shili’s pupils slightly contracted, and he quickly got up and came over, looking nervously outside, "How did you get in?"

"There’s no need to be nervous; I was able to find you so quickly because Spiritual Snake let it happen. He promised me he would let Sister Yun and the three of you go." Qiao Qiqi held his hand and led him to sit by the bed.
