Chapter 573: Chapter 362: Careful Thoughts (8000 Words Goal Achieved)_2

Beichuan Si glanced at Hetian Wu.

He didn’t know why every time Hetian Wu praised the Church of Truth and Happiness, she had to smear the Beichuan Divine Society.

Beichuan Si couldn’t be bothered with Hetian Wu and after moving her hand away, he continued, "It’s time to depart."

"Heh, Mr. North Island is really in a hurry."

Hetian Wu said with a smiling face and then brought Beichuan Si onto the tram, heading towards the Shibuya District—

About half an hour later, Beichuan Si and Hetian Wu stopped in front of the same commercial building as last time.

As usual, Beichuan Si put on his plague doctor mask, and Hetian Wu on the side put on a cat mask.

The two took the elevator, stopping in front of the same banquet hall.

Just as Beichuan Si was about to push the door and enter, Hetian Wu suddenly asked from behind, "Mr. North Island, Bai Mian must have struck up a conversation with you last time, right?"

Beichuan Si paused, "Indeed, I was approached."

Hearing Beichuan Si say this, Hetian Wu’s expression suddenly flashed with complexity, as if she felt regret as well as intrigue, but all that sentiments finally dissipated into a light phrase,

"...Is that so."

"Mhm."

Beichuan Si nodded.

Hetian Wu forced a smile,

"Oh well, let’s not talk about that, let’s just go in."

Seeing the half of her face that she revealed which bore a smile faker than fake, Beichuan Si’s thoughts stirred.

This time, Bai Mian had actively organized the gathering, and it must be mainly targeted at him, and Hetian Wu, who had led him into the Church of Truth and Happiness, definitely has been messaged by Bai Mian too.

It seemed Bai Mian had done this sort of thing more than once. And judging by the look on Hetian Wu’s face, those who had been summoned by Bai Mian before... their fates were probably not too good.

Thinking of this, the expression hidden beneath Beichuan Si’s mask grew a hint of viciousness.

The two of them pushed the door and entered directly.

The gathering was the same as before, the same venue, with incense burning everywhere, and a stage at the furthest end.

After staying there for about twenty minutes, Hetian Wu suddenly told Beichuan Si she had something to do and needed to leave first, hoping that he would enjoy himself a bit more.

Having already anticipated the other party’s actions, Beichuan Si did not show much reaction and agreed, continuing to stay at the venue.

Five more minutes passed—

Beichuan Si was suddenly surrounded by two men who approached him.

"Excuse me, Mr. North Island, Bai Mian would like to have a chat with you about some matters, do you have some time?"

His fake name had already been investigated by Bai Mian...

Beichuan Si pondered for a moment, appearing contemplative.

After a while, he replied, "Yes, I can."

"Please come this way." The two men’s stern faces didn’t change as they led the way ahead of Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si was led by them through various rooms until they finally stopped in front of an elegantly simple door.

Knock, knock.

They knocked on the door.

"Come in," Bai Mian’s voice came from inside the room.

Her voice sounded somewhat excited, and somewhat agitated, much like a girl in the throes of spring.

This kind of voice made Beichuan Si frown deeply.

Fortunately, the mask concealed his expressions from the two men in front.

The door was pushed open by the two, and Bai Mian, dressed in an eccentric gown, entered Beichuan Si’s line of sight.

It was still that same mask, but her gown appeared very strange.

Split from the centerline, the left side was white, the right side was black, an asymmetrical sense of distortion made it uncomfortable to look at just a glance.

And it wasn’t just the clothes she was wearing.

The patterns on the floor, how the tables were placed to the left and the right, the colors of the ceiling... even the style of the curtains... none were the same.

Everything was asymmetrical.

Ordinary people would soon find themselves overwhelmed by this disorienting sense of distortion in such an environment.

But Bai Mian seemed different.

She thoroughly enjoyed this atmosphere, even comfortably stretching herself.

She was dealing with some paperwork in her hands while glancing at Beichuan Si and greeted cordially, "Mr. Bird Beak, we meet again."

"Uh-huh," Beichuan Si responded tersely.

Bai Mian didn’t get angry over Beichuan Si’s rudeness; on the contrary, the curiosity in her uplifted eyes became even more intense.

But beneath this curiosity, violence and bloodthirst could not be completely concealed.

"Please wait a moment. Once I finish with these documents, I’ll take you to my place," she said with a smile.

Bai Mian had no intention of seeking Beichuan Si’s consent; in fact, she hadn’t planned on asking for it at all...

Beichuan Si’s gaze shifted subtly.

Behind him, four security guards had already blocked his exit, as if the moment Beichuan Si thought about making any rash movement, they would swarm him.

But...

They were being overly considerate on his behalf.

Beichuan Si sighed inwardly.

Acting here would undoubtedly increase the risk of exposure.

But he hadn’t expected Bai Mian to be considerate enough to take him to her place.

Looking at Bai Mian’s smiling expression, Beichuan Si couldn’t help but feel reassured.

Bai Mian was such a good person.

Not only did she invite the wolf into her home, she also closed the door for him.

With this thought, Beichuan Si casually took a seat on a soft chair and asked, "May I know what Miss Bai is working on?"

Seeing no signs of Beichuan Si wanting to escape, Bai Mian felt a bit of satisfaction and answered his question offhandedly, "As you can see, these are the documents about personnel movement within the Church of Truth and Happiness and the export of pharmaceuticals."

Since he was already a dead man walking, she didn’t care if personal intelligence was leaked: "I am the only person in the whole Church of Truth and Happiness, besides the Sect Hierarch, who knows the identities of all the core members."

"Oh?" Beichuan Si showed interest.

He had wanted to ask Bai Mian about the identities of the core members but had been rejected before he even spoke: "Even though Mr. Bird Beak is my esteemed guest, I cannot possibly divulge such important information to you. Just sit tight and wait until I’m done."

"That is truly regrettable. I wonder if I will ever get the chance to know the names of the authorities in the future?" Beichuan Si spoke with a meaningful tone.

Bai Mian rolled her eyes inwardly at his words.

Did this Mr. Beidao Temple really think he was someone special? Asking for the identities of all core members just like that? How could she possibly reveal something like that to a mere member?

Did he think he was the fearsome Beichuan God?

Bai Mian grumbled in her mind.

But appeasing him a bit at this moment was not a problem.

Bai Mian tilted her head as if she was actually considering it: "If you can make me even a little happy tonight, perhaps I might really tell Mr. Bird Beak."

"Let’s do that then." Beichuan Si nodded vigorously, narrowing his eyes as he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you happy tonight."

"That’s something to look forward to."

Bai Mian licked her lips.

The gaze she cast at Beichuan Si had transformed from gentle to violent.

Her paperwork processing speed wasn’t fast, but since she had already done a portion earlier, Beichuan Si only had to wait about ten minutes before she had finished all her official business.

The urgency in her appearance was indeed satisfying for Beichuan Si to see.

How could he not be moved by her eagerness to rush to her doom?

With this thought, Beichuan Si also stood up hastily.

His movement too, touched Bai Mian.

How could she not be moved by his eagerness to rush to his doom?

With this thought, both of their actions sped up unwittingly.

One side was for intelligence, the other was for the night’s pleasure.

Under such swift action, the two spent very little time leaving the building and entering Bai Mian’s car.

"Tonight will definitely be a lot of fun," Bai Mian laughed as she hooked her arm through Beichuan Si’s, her gentle gaze brimming with cruelty.

"Yes," replied Beichuan Si, wrapping his arm around Bai Mian’s shoulder, all the while thinking about where to start breaking her to cause more pain...
