Chapter 849 - I’ll try my best (1/2)

The rented apartment he used to live in now had a new occupant. The items were still the same, but the person living there was different. Memories from the past began appearing in his mind. Visions of him fooling around with Zhang Dashan, the images of him hanging out with Feng Wuhen’s five brothers at the balcony—all those memories flashed across his mind like the passage of a movie. He had mixed feelings, and it felt like he had traveled through time and returned to the past.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, there was a loud rumble coming from the enormous crack in the middle of the ninety-six-story building. The entire building split in two and collapsed onto one side with a thunderous crash. The building turned into a massive pile of smashed bricks, and debris spread all over the ground.

Xiao Luo rose to the sky and stared blankly at the collapsed building. It turned out that Xiao Luo was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The building was already highly unstable, and all it took was the added weight from Xiao Luo for it to come crashing down.

He exhaled as he looked away from the rubble, confirmed his bearings, then flew toward the west suburb area of Jiangcheng. There was a stretch of mountains there, and the secret base that Tian Zhenxing had mentioned was hidden within one of the mountains there. Other than the various Hua Nation personnel, who were in charge of different bases, no one else knew its location.

Xiao Luo arrived at the secret base in a couple of breaths.

It was hidden atop a secluded conical mountain that stood like a silent giant about a kilometer above sea level. They had dug into the mountain and constructed a secret base within it. It was exactly like an ant’s nest with people living and working inside, like a colony of insects.

The radar had already detected Xiao Luo’s arrival even before he landed at the entrance of the secret base.

The heavy door of the entrance opened up. The director of NSA, Gu Zhanguo, and Dongfang Shuoyu walked out to greet him. Beside them stood King Kong and Lady Poison as well.

“You have… awoken?”

Xiao Luo looked a bit surprised as he stared at the stylish and charming Fu Yiren.

He did not hear any reply from Fu Yiren, but instantly detected a waft of her fragrance. She was already hugging him tightly.

“Mm, I wanted to be with you. I just couldn’t bear to die yet.”

Fu Yiren clung tightly to Xiao Luo. She breathed in the scent on his body with her eyes closed. She could not control herself when she laid eyes on Xiao Luo again.

Xiao Luo patted her on the back gently.

“Let’s go. We will talk when we are inside,” Gu Zhanguo said, raising his eyebrows.

Xiao Luo nodded stiffly.

“Director Gu, you are so insensitive,” Fu Yiren complained as she pouted her lips. She wanted to continue to hug Xiao Luo, but he had interrupted the intimate moment.

King Kong laughed, agreeing with her, and said, “You are indeed a little insensitive. Haha, haha…”

Gu Zhanguo gave a hollow laugh and did not know how to respond to the comment.

“Alright, alright. What is this talk about insensitivity? We are in an emergency now. It will not be too late for you to chit-chat like this when we’re inside,” said Dongfang Shuoyu, without mincing his words.

While Fu Yiren came across as blunt and forthright, she could sometimes be shy as well. At that moment, her face instantly blushed as red as a cherry.

Xiao Luo laughed and walked into the base. As he arrived at the second heavy door, he spotted a girl. She was wearing the NSA uniform and had a graceful figure. Her black hair was curled up and tugged inside the military cap. She had flawless skin with a snow-white complexion. Her eyes were clear and bright, her eyebrows had a delicate arc, and her soft lips looked like rose petals.

It was Ji Siying!

“Mr. Xiao Luo!”

Ji Siying ran to Xiao Luo. She was so nervous that she did not even know where to do with her delicate hands. She rubbed them nervously, and on her right wrist, Xiao Luo noticed she was still wearing the jade bracelet that his mother had given her.

“My mind is at ease now that I know you are safe,” Xiao Luo said as he smiled at her.

Xiao Luo had surprised her with what he said and she immediately beamed as she gazed warmly at Xiao Luo. “I am at ease as well now that I see that Mr. Xiao Luo is safe as well.”
