Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Yan Sijue, You Really Are Cheap

Xiao Qi realized that her previous understanding of this woman was still too limited. How could she be so audacious?

"So, to be safe, Xiao Qi, you should go back." Mu Yiliang glanced at her, "It would be easier for me to escape alone; two people would be more troublesome."

Xiao Qi gritted her teeth and said, "If you hadn’t told me this evidence was fake, I might have let you go alone. But now, there’s no way! Even if we die, we die together!"

"It’s not that serious..." Mu Yiliang knew she was angry, so her tone softened.

"Hmph!" Xiao Qi glared at her fiercely, "If we can’t provide what they want, at most it means our capabilities are limited. We might even be able to buy some time. But if they find out we’re faking, the consequences will be far worse!"

Mu Yiliang smiled bitterly, "That’s why I don’t want you and Jason getting involved... If anything happens, I’d feel really guilty..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Qi shot her a look and then softened her tone, "I know you have no choice... It’s all because Jason and I are useless!"

"Don’t say that..." Mu Yiliang let out a bitter laugh, "Actually, Yan Sijue promised me he would bring Robert out unharmed, but..."

Xiao Qi thought for a moment and understood, "You think he’s just placating you?"

"No..." Mu Yiliang shook her head, "I believe he’s willing to do this. But the opposing force isn’t an ordinary gang... And time is too tight. Even if he succeeds, the cost will be huge. I can’t afford this cost, nor can I repay it. Rather than letting him take the risk, it’s better for me to do it myself. At least I’ll feel a bit better."

Xiao Qi was left speechless.

"Let’s go, we should board the plane." Mu Yiliang smiled and walked towards the boarding gate.

At the moment the plane took off, A City’s airport was suddenly under investigation for unknown reasons, causing indefinite delays for all the planes that hadn’t taken off yet.

But the plane carrying Mu Yiliang had already successfully flown to California.

*********

Yan Sijue looked at the report handed over by his subordinate, his face dark and almost dripping with water.

In the end, he was a step too late. This woman had already left A City, her destination being California.

If what the other party wanted was just this information, she wouldn’t need to specifically go to California. There are countless ways she could have sent the information over.

So, if she left A City, it was either to avoid him, or the opponent demanded far more than just this piece of evidence.

Either reason was enough to drive Yan Sijue insane with hatred!

Reason told him that he shouldn’t care whether this woman lived or died, just let her fend for herself!

If the data stored on his computer was real, it might not be long before FIS, the organization he founded himself, was wiped out because of it! This woman had never considered him, and instead planned to push him into the abyss with her own hands. Not going to add insult to injury would already be considered merciful, yet here he was still worried about her safety?

However, despite repeatedly telling himself this, he couldn’t actually bring himself to truly let go. Just thinking of her going alone to Nie Qing’s territory made rage and panic almost consume all his reason!

Yan Sijue, you really are pathetic!

************

California’s rich sunlight is a major highlight.

In the past, most of the time for Mu Yiliang’s health, they stayed here because of the climate.

So, California was not unfamiliar to either her or Xiao Qi.

But this time, stepping on this land, their mood couldn’t be uplifted.

"...I’ve already emailed the other side, telling them we have obtained the evidence." Xiao Qi furrowed her brows slightly, "Now we’re just waiting for their response."

Mu Yiliang pressed her lips together, "We can’t let ourselves be too passive."

"Jason is also following." Xiao Qi said, glancing at her, "He just boarded the plane. Originally, he went to the airport as soon as he woke up, but unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the airport was suddenly controlled, and all flights were checked."

Mu Yiliang was stunned for a moment, silent.

"In A City, only Yan Sijue could make this much of a commotion, even controlling the airport." Xiao Qi shook her head and sighed.

Mu Yiliang’s heart tightened.

Yan Sijue at this moment... must be going mad...

After all, no man would remain sane after being deceived by the same woman over and over again... especially someone as proud and arrogant as him.

And not only had she deceived him, but she had rejected him so many times. After this, Yan Sijue might finally give up on her completely.

"If something happens to us." Xiao Qi’s voice suddenly became low, "What about Xiaoze?"

Thinking of her son, Mu Yiliang felt even worse, "So we have to strive to survive. Otherwise, I won’t feel safe handing Xiaoze over to anyone."

Her grandfather was old and could not care for Xiaoze forever. And Yan Sijue probably hated her to the core now, knowing of Xiaoze’s existence might make him more furious, not to mention the kind of atmosphere in the Yan family might not be a suitable environment for Xiaoze to grow up in, how could she trust handing Xiaoze over to Yan Sijue?

So she had to survive.

Xiao Qi smiled gently, "Well, in any case, since the few of us are together, it seems... not bad."

"Don’t be so down." Mu Yiliang laughed as she patted her, "There are still so many quality handsome men in the world waiting for you to take advantage of, you mustn’t give up."

Xiao Qi laughed aloud.

Suddenly, the tablet in her hand chimed with an email notification.

"It’s here!" She and Mu Yiliang exchanged a glance.

Two hours later, Mu Yiliang and Xiao Qi arrived at a bar.

The email from the other side said Robert was here.

The bar was dimly lit, and Mu Yiliang and Xiao Qi searched for a long time before Xiao Qi, with her sharp eyes, spotted Robert passed out in a corner.

They hurried over and propped him up.

"Robert! Can you hear me?" Xiao Qi urged loudly, patting him strongly!

After a moment, he finally opened his eyes groggily.

"Xiao Qi?" he rasped.

"It’s me! How are you? Can you walk?" Xiao Qi asked anxiously.

"Mu?" Robert saw Mu Yiliang, and suddenly his face turned panicked, "Quick! Mu, you have to go! All of you, go!"

"If we’re leaving, we’re leaving together!" Mu Yiliang lifted one of Robert’s arms and helped him up, while Xiao Qi took his other arm.

As they were about to turn, a low and sultry female voice sounded from behind them.

"Hehe... You’ve finally arrived, Athena and Aphrodite."

Robert let out a painful groan, "No!"
