Mei Yuebai, upon receiving the information, showed no sign of happiness. His mind was entirely consumed by Xu Qian.
Their teammates had all returned, so why hadn't she?
Was it because... she knew he was in City A, and therefore dared not come?
Mei Yuebai's eyes were red-rimmed, tears welling up in his sockets for several turns, but they still didn't fall.
He learned of their acquaintance and love story from everyone.
They dared not conceal anything, only detailing the events one by one.
The Xu Qian they spoke of was not the Xu Qian he knew.
Xu Qian had always been ice-cold, her eyes unable to accommodate anyone.
In their eyes, Xu Qian was a little timid, very kind, yet extremely powerful in combat.
Sometimes, Mei Yuebai felt that this Xu Qian was not the Xu Qian he knew.
But the knife they described was indeed the Baster Knife.
Could it be amnesia?
Xu Qian had not returned to City A with them at the time. When they searched for her in City G, she had already been missing for a long time. Now she had suddenly appeared in City A.
Mei Yuebai's mind had calmed down. The most important thing was to find her and get to the bottom of things.
Everything else was unimportant.
Mei Yuebai pressed his temples and instructed, "Cheng Liangqing, assign more manpower to search for them."
"Yes."
Cheng Liangqing and Li Lili exchanged glances, then turned and walked out of the office.
Since Mei Yuebai had woken up, he had assigned the two of them to be his personal guards.
Everyone understood. Human hearts were unfathomable. These two would never harm him, but others might not be so sure.
Both of them wore military uniforms, their bodies standing straight. They didn't utter a word as they walked.
Only when they returned to their dormitory did they relax their tense bodies.
Gu Qing immediately jumped over and asked, "How is it, how is it? Any news about Qianjie?"
Both of them shook their heads.
Li Lili replied, "More manpower has been assigned to search."
Cheng Liangze, with his keen awareness, stepped forward to massage her shoulders. "Lili, you've worked hard."
Li Lili smiled gently. "You've worked hard too."
The two of them were so grossed out they got goosebumps.
Gu Qing rubbed his arm and shouted, "You two, can't you be so mushy in your room?"
Cheng Liangze scoffed. "Weren't you sticking to Hua Ying like glue yesterday? And now you're lecturing me."
Gu Qing blushed. Six months ago, when they went to City G, they brought Hua Ying along. She was now on missions with another team.
They were all doing pretty well, but Brother Yuebai was truly not doing well.
"Do you think Sister Qian might really..."
Xu Qian's personality was inherently cold. It took a long time for her to open up to people. She wouldn't easily fall in love with another man, would she?
Although, the charm of Commander Xiang was unrivaled.
Li Lili seconded. "I can't speak for others, but Commander Xiang is a top-tier figure. Even if Sister Qian truly fell for him, I wouldn't find it strange."
Cheng Liangze chimed in. "But it would be too devastating for Mei Yuebai."
The three of them sighed simultaneously.
Seeing that his brother wasn't speaking, Cheng Liangze asked, "Brother, why aren't you expressing your opinion?"
Cheng Liangqing touched his handsome face, thinking that he wasn't that bad-looking either.
Why had Xu Qian shown no interest in him despite their long acquaintance?
Li Lili couldn't help but tease. "Brother Liangqing, if I may say, compared to Commander Xiang, you have no advantage, you know."
Cheng Liangqing was so angered that his chest felt a little tight. He was clearly so good-looking!
Xu Qian had stared at his face several times without looking away!
"Alright, let's all try to find her on our own."
"Yes."
City J.
The journey was smooth all the way to City J.
