This was a man he had once greatly concerned himself with. Even now, he remained a monHowever, His Highness’s malevolence was that he would never openly display any emotions on his face. Even when they brushed past one another, he did not spare a single glance at Young Master Tang. Instead, he directly wrapped an arm around Helian Wei Wei’s waist and landed a peck on her forehead, smiling from ear to ear. “Everything’s settled, let’s go.”

Helian Wei Wei felt that His Highness had been exceedingly gentle lately.

Is it because we have been apart for too long?

Helian Wei Wei nodded her head doubtfully, but she was obedient.

Since Young Master Tang was here, it meant that the follow-up work was done. She believed that the information she had collected would suffice for uncovering a few people. Young Master Tang was especially talented at tugging on a strand to unravel a net, to reveal all parties involved.

Nobody could guarantee that the human trafficking market would disappear, but at least after these raids, they would no longer exist that unscrupulously.

Helian Wei Wei was thinking about business, so her gaze inevitably lingered a little longer on Young Master Tang.

As Baili Jiajue watched from the side, his eyes narrowed. His fingers tightened on Helian Wei Wei’s waist, a smile still playing on his lips. “Not leaving?”

Helian Wei Wei did not feel pain, but she definitely felt the force his fingertips exerted. She raised her head to glance at His Highness, yet before she spoke…

”

She heard Baili Jia Jue’s low voice flow into her ears, “I believe you must be Young Master Tang, thank you for attending to my Wei Wei these few years. But the word is that there is a rule in the Tang Sect which dictates that anyone who leaves the Tang Sect will not be allocated any more missions.”

His tone was extremely polite, and it carried a distant cold but remained very terribly overbearing.

Young Master Tang looked on with a tinge of mischief in his eyes. “This is my personal request to Wei Wei, I don’t think she would mind.”

“I…” Helian Wei Wei did not even get the chance to say the words “I don’t mind” before Little Qingchen began tugging at her sleeve. “What is it?”

Little Qingchen winked and gestured toward Baili Jia Jue, hinting her to look at his expression.

In actuality, nothing odd could be observed from His Highness’s face, except for the fact that there was no joy in his eyes. This was an expression Helian Wei Wei could not be more familiar with.

Although she did not know why, Helian Wei Wei had figured out that His Highness was upset.

Young Master Tang had no intention of putting Helian Wei Wei in a difficult spot. He had only itched to see how much Baili Jia Jue cared about his comrade-in-arms.

There was no mistake, they were comrades.

Although officially, they were subordinate and superior, in reality, they were much closer than that.

Having experienced life and death together, their relationship was bound to be unusual.

So, Young Master Tang took a step backward, his cigarette still between his fingers. “It seems like you would mind, Wei Wei. Since you have people to take care of now, just take this as your final mission. The matters in Yungui District have yet to be settled as there is someone else still in hiding. Since you have this gentleman here to help you, you should be able to rectify it quick. After this, neither the Tang Sect nor I myself will assign missions to you. Of course, if someone mistreats you, the Tang Sect will always still be a home you can call on.”

With these words, he had declared his position.

This was why no matter how far the Tang Sect’s shadows ventured, once they received an order from the Tang Sect, they would always return.

The inhumane training definitely made people unapproachable.

However, as they journeyed together, they had unknowingly grown alike. They had become family.

Helian Wei Wei understood what Young Master Tang meant. Baili Jia Jue also caught on and replied lightly with an inherent superiority, “Nobody will mistreat her.”

Regarding this, Young Master Tang believed so too. Despite that, to encounter a man like him, it was challenging for him to judge if Helian Wei Wei was considered lucky. He could clearly see that the man knew Helian Wei Wei more than she knew him.

The more he knew, the more calculative he would get. Following this, the more important the person would pose to him.

Just like how he treated a certain somebody.

Young Master Tang recognized this feeling very well. The way he treated his lover was the same as Baili Jia Jue’s, so when he saw how Baili Jia Jue bent down to kiss Helian Wei Wei, he knew that not only was this man of a complicated background, he was also home to a complex mind.

In the face of people like him, Young Master Tang hated to make them enemies, but never would he befriend them either.

Because he would probably be disagreeable to people like them.

However, this person was scary because he had not even shown a glimpse of enmity so far.

No wonder Wei Wei fell for him.

Young Master Tang bit his lower lip and did not linger on the topic. He glanced at Helian Wei Wei and dived straight to the point, “This person in Yungui District is the target of this mission. Here’s the challenge. This person is very smart and he’s never taken part in human trafficking or helped Sixth Brother in any way. However, every step taken by Liu Hongjiang was directed by him. This person is currently in Li City now and will be transferred back to Beijing soon. A person like this should not be allowed back in the capital, and there will be more factors involved if he does. We should take the chance to get rid of him when he is still in Li City. What we’re lacking now is evidence, and I will entrust this to your investigative skills. Monkey and the others are waiting outside. They are here to join you, and also to check out this guy you have slept with. Ever since you entered Tang Sect, you seem to have never taken a leave. You can use this opportunity to go on a public-funded honeymoon. The Tang Sect will pay for everything.”

“Okay.” Helian Wei Wei had always shown interest in public-funded vacations and the like. Moreover, they were already here and it sounded like a great idea to visit Li City. She could also take the chance to get closer to her two sons.

Unexpectedly, His Highness did not oppose this idea. This was because he was well aware that his objection would always backfire on him when a certain woman was involved.

Some things must be done step by step, so perhaps he could collaborate with the people from the Tang Sect as long as their work did not involve Young Master Tang appearing before Helian Wei Wei.

Of course, these could be handled later. His Highness was never one to proclaim his domination from one angle only.

He would always use the most direct art of violence.

Such as the exchange below.

“Since you’re done discussing business affairs, I have some personal issues to discuss with Wei Wei. Young Master Tang, if you could please bring these two brats with you when you leave and shut the door well,” As Baili Jia Jue said this…

The two little ones exchanged looks silently. Right after that, a barrier set by His Highness appeared before their eyes.

Within seconds, Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue were the only ones left in the interrogation room…
