Chapter 915 - His Arrival (1/2)
915 His Arrival
A strong gust of wind produced by the propeller ruffled Baili Jia Jue’s strands of lank, silver hair. Fully exposed under the light, his alabaster white complexion was so fair, he could have mistaken him as an aristocratic vampire.
“What’s the current location of the train?” His voice was crisp like the cold winter air at night.
The wealthy merchant, in charge of receiving him at Yungui District, wiped the cold sweat dotting his forehead with a handkerchief and shaky fingers. His ill-fitting suit looked more rumpled than before as the air stream blew against him. He stuttered, “It… it might have departed.”
“And so, I ask, where is it?” Unlike the wealthy merchant, Baili Jia Jue stood tall without giving a single thought about the air stream. As his hair fluttered magnificently in the strong wind, it gave him an air of regality.
When he heard Baili Jia Jue repeating himself for the second time, he trembled for a moment and meekly replied, “I, I think it might have dep…departed from Yun City and entered the tunnel. The train’s terminal stop is Northern Tibet.”
Baili Jia Jue swept his gaze coldly at him, as his long legs stalked into the cabin of the plane. Then, he said, “Pinpoint the location of the train, I want to be able to see the carriage within eight minutes. Or else, General Li, you will stay behind and become their dinner…”
The wealthy merchant gave a slight tremble, his face had gone a couple of shades paler as he saw the black shadows that had emerged from behind the man. In fear, he immediately yelled, “You have nothing to worry about! I will definitely be able to do it! I… I’ll definitely can!”
Baili Jia Jue made no comment and slammed the cabin door with a whoosh.
The design of the private jet was far more luxurious than that of commercial planes.
The wealthy merchant finally let out a breath of relief when he saw the man sank into the plush seat. He turned around and immediately ordered his men to do as told.
However, as he gave more thought to it, it felt as if what they were doing was not enough.
He ordered someone to give the Sixth Master a call.
They were all affluent individuals of Yun City, so it was normal for them to have connections. The wealthy merchant wanted to give Sixth Master a heads up. He was currently being targeted by a formidable person, hence it would be wise for him to stay low on the radar.
However, for whatever reason, he did not answer his phone for a long time.
The wealthy merchant cursed gruffly, “Why Sixth Brother, why won’t he pick up?”
Whatever. I’ve done my part.
The more he cared, the more that certain person would skin him alive.
What on earth had Sixth Brother done to provoke this man…
At the same time…
In the eleventh train carriage, Little Qingchen used his tiny palms to crawl across the floor with all his might. When he finally crawled out from under the seat, he lifted his head, with an orange peel still stuck to his hair.
Little Qingchen did not realize it as his round eyes were fixed on Baili Shang Xie, who was staring out the window. Confused, he asked, “What are you looking at?”
“The night has a nostalgic air to it,” Baili Shang Xie leaned his head to look at Little Qingchen. Without hesitation, he reached out his hands to lift the child onto his lap, and started to tidy up Little Qingchen’s hair. His face remained stoic, but he looked every bit of a responsible big brother. Everybody sitting near them was immediately smitten with the scene.
Little Qingchen felt that Baili Shang Xie was fixing his messy hair, so he lowered his head and ruffled his unkempt hair back into place. He followed Baili Shang Xie’s gaze out the window and asked, “The black crows are here again?”
“They came with our imperial father.” Baili Shang Xie dusted Little Qingchen’s hands, “I think he would be here in just a moment, to bring me back for sure.”
