Chapter 188: Apology

“But don’t you worry, I’ll look for a job soon. I’ll return the money I spent! I’ll definitely repay your kindness.” Shi Xiao wiped the tears that were forced out of the corners of her eyes.

“Don’t worry about me. Although I’m not earning much, I can still afford. You can rest assured and live here for the time being. Don’t think about repaying me. If I help you in hopes for compensation, I’m just another selfish fool. You’re a good girl. I can’t fathom the things you had to go through. Tonight, you’ll have a good sleep. Tomorrow, when you wake up, everything will be fine.”

He Bei did not dare meeting Shi Xiao’s seductive gaze. He hurriedly finish his words before turning around and left as if he was fleeing.

Shi Xiao smiled as she watched the man flee.

He was really an innocent man.

It was a rare sight to behold.

Unfortunately, he did not possess what she wanted.

***

Late at night, the moonlight shone on the window, illuminating the man’s face standing in front of the window.

The man’s facial features were very ordinary. If he appeared in a crowd, he would definitely not be noticed by others.

However, at this moment, the man’s face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.

Half an hour ago, in the chat group that had been silent for a long time, a discussion went on for more than ten minutes.

This was something that had never happened before, because since the establishment of the organization, it had never encountered such a major event.

In the end, “White Whale” and “Black Shark” unanimously decided on the core person in charge of this incident, which was him.

“Red Fox, we’ll give you some leeway. Settle this matter and apologize on your own.”

When he thought of the word “apologize,” a hint of fear suddenly appeared on the man’s plain face.

The organization would not listen to his explanations, nor would they care if he had any unspeakable reasons. Failure was failure. The destruction of the base brought upon unbearable losses to the organization, and this was the fault of the person in charge.

A hint of defeat appeared on the man’s face.

Then, he raised his head, and his eyes became a little sinister and vicious.

In the end, all of this was because of that woman —

They did not expect that the bastard child left behind by Qin Sheng and his wife would cause them to suffer such a huge loss in the future.

If they had known earlier, they would never allowed her to live!

But now, it was extremely difficult to get to her. She was already the wife of Ning Chen, the heir of the Ning family. It was said that Ning Chen doted on her very much.

The man looked at the neon lights in the city not far away from the window. After a long silence, he made a phone call.

“Hello, it’s me… has Zhou Qi entered the police station? What? Where is he now? Trash! You bunch of trash!”

After hanging up the phone, the man’s face showed a hint of exasperation.

When he was preparing to build a base in the early years, he had started to look for people who could help him conduct experiments on human brains. Speaking of which, he was the one who found Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi graduated from high school and entered a prominent university. However, when he was a sophomore, he was expelled from the university because he was conducting unconsented hypnosis experiments on his roommate.

This matter was naturally a disgrace to the university. If it were to be publicized, it would inevitably cause a public uproar. Therefore, the university kept this matter a secret. During that period of time, the man was the university’s Honorary Professor. When he heard about this matter by chance, he went to meet Zhou Qi, who was about to pack up his things and return to his hometown after being expelled from the school.

When he first met Zhou Qi, he realized that this person had a temperament that was incompatible with the entire world.

This incompatibility came from the madness and callousness in his character.

Later, in the process of cultivating Zhou Qi, he continued to dig out and stimulate this personality of Zhou Qi, allowing him to explore his scientific talent to his heart’s content. In the end, Zhou Qi became a true genius scientist.

Because of this, Zhou Qi regarded him as a rare confidant in his life and greatly adored him.

Zhou Qi was the person who had the most contact with him in the base. Although some people knew his name, those people would definitely not dare to say anything due to the threat of the organization, otherwise, their families would forever be separated from them in two worlds.

But Zhou Qi… he was an orphan.

Would he betray him in front of those people?

The man’s expression changed unpredictably, finally turning into a fierce and ruthless expression.

Zhou Qi could not be left alive.

And that damned girl, it was her fault that he was now suffering the consequences of the predicament, she definitely could not be let off easily!

As for that kid from the Ning family… the man’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold and ruthless gaze like a wolf’s.

Perhaps that kid was not as simple as he looked. This time, he should be the one who used that wretched girl to trick him!
