After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1237 - 1234: You Scared Me

"Miss me already?" came a playful voice from the other side, sounding quite improper, yet carrying an alluring tone.Bi Xia chuckled lightly but didn’t answer. Instead, she got straight to the point, "After you left, I took down one of Yu Du’s operations."

Chu Wu raised an eyebrow, "Wow, impressive. So, planning to set up a Nine Pavilion in Yan City?"

"No, we agreed to head to Beijing first," Bi Xia replied, "Let’s talk business."

"Alright."

"Tonight, I hijacked Yu Du’s shipment, and there are a few new guns that feel pretty good. Can you guys make them?"

"Oh," Chu Wu laughed, "You’ve figured me out so fast?"

"No," Bi Xia frowned and mumbled, "I can guarantee you’re the hardest person I’ve ever had to investigate, even harder than Qin Zhan and the others."

Chu Wu was momentarily stunned and then burst into laughter, "As long as we have the blueprints, we can make them!"

"Okay," Bi Xia had already given up on setting up an armory. After discovering Chu Wu’s influence, she figured it was better to just find someone trustworthy for long-term arms deals rather than painstakingly find someone to build a weapons factory, "I’ll email them to you in a bit, remember to accept it."

"Bang—"

A gunshot suddenly rang out from Chu Wu’s side, accompanied by a curse, then quickly, "Darling, someone’s coming, Sis has to go entertain some guests, just send over the blueprints, bye."

Looking at the disconnected call, Bi Xia’s eyes darkened, lost in thought. A black cat leapt onto Bi Xia’s shoulder, while a child retrieved his spiritual power and walked over to Bi Xia, tightly clutching the edge of Bi Xia’s coat. 007 said, "Don’t worry, Chu Wu is very strong."

"I know."

Bi Xia replied, glancing at the bodies lying around, and called out to Meng Chi standing on the freighter, "How’s it going?"

Meng Chi made an OK gesture to Bi Xia, then jumped down from the deck, retrieving his transparent spiritual power as he walked toward Bi Xia, "There are three large boxes up there, one of which has the latest models, more than enough for us."

Bi Xia nodded, "How’s it going with the Nine Pavilion?"

"The Qinghai Gang recently took one of our bars," Meng Chi frowned but then relaxed, "Xiao and the others are following your instructions and preparing for the next target."

"Good, continue as planned," she said, adding, "Get in touch with the previous freighter captain. We’ll set sail tomorrow, heading back to Qing City."

Finally heading back, Meng Chi nodded, "Alright, right away."

[Your Majesty, the blueprints have been fully scanned,]with Meng Chi present, 007 still used spiritual power to communicate with Bi Xia, [Should I send them to Chu Wu now?]

’No rush, let’s wait until Xiao Wu contacts me.’

Completing the follow-up work, as Bi Xia and Meng Chi walked back, Meng Chi suddenly asked, "Boss, we’ve wiped out Yu Du. Why not take this opportunity to build another Nine Pavilion?"

Bi Xia curled her lips lazily, "Do you think it’s that easy? Once established, this place still needs manpower. I’m not here often, so what’s the use? Sometimes, having a large operation with many locations isn’t necessarily a good thing."

"Then in Beijing..."

Bi Xia smirked, "That’s an exception; it’s more fun to have a foot in the door, right?"

Meng Chi: ... Who said having multiple operations is bad? Oh well, you’re the boss, you decide...

A moment of silence fell over the space. Usually, Meng Chi would be chatting with Bi Xia about the Nine Pavilion and X Group at this time, but today, after mentioning it, things fell remarkably silent. Holding Xiao Wu, Bi Xia suddenly spoke, "If there’s something you want to ask, just ask."

Meng Chi was taken aback and then suddenly stepped on the brake. Luckily, he corrected it just in time, or something might’ve happened. He swallowed and looked at Bi Xia, hesitating before speaking softly, "You told me to ask..."

Bi Xia: ...

"...I saw on Weibo..." Meng Chi carefully chose his words, "Do you... like guys?"

Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "Is that really so surprising?"

Meng Chi opened his mouth slightly and mumbled, "Not really, since I’ve never seen you have intimate contact with any girl, not even a bit of affection. It’s not like I never suspected, but your flirting skills with girls aren’t low, so how did you suddenly start liking guys? I haven’t even seen you flirt with a guy..."

Listening to Meng Chi’s rambling, Bi Xia sighed helplessly, "Chi..."

"I’m here."

"...Just because I like guys doesn’t mean I’m gay."

"I know, it’s just that the one you like happens to be a guy, it’s okay, you’ll always be my boss."

"...I’m saying, I’m a girl."

Screech—

The car suddenly stalled. Meng Chi calmly opened the car door, "The brakes might be broken; I’ll go take a look."

Bi Xia: ...

Xiao Wu: ...

007: "Tsk, Your Majesty, you scared him."
