This Martini Smells Blood

Chapter 28 . Bless us all

9 December 2022, 10 AM

It was a usual cold morning in December. Arranged by Junbai, Wuxie and others were hiding in a new place on the outskirts of Beijing. It was a run-down old building inside the woods and about 500 meters away from the new factory of Tian Qing.

Tomorrow is the day. All of the were busy doing their part of the job, finishing up things, and gathering up gears and weapons.

Pangzi as usual was in charge of keeping the mood alive and he did that extra job very well these days too... He time to time will see each of them and cheer them up. Just like that, he was having a fin chat with Yuzhi and Yuelou...

"So that's how I escaped Chief Yuelou..."

"Yeah, I get... It was indeed a genius job. Well done."

"You don't believe me? Doctor, at least you have to believe."

"I do."

"Not convincing at all. You all can't accept the fact that I'm this good. Let me tell this story to Wuxie... he has a good eye."

Seeing how the pair wasn't smitten by Pangzi's adventure fairytale... Pangzi said bye to them and took off to find the next target, Wuxie.

Pangzi searched the whole building and couldn't find him. The last space to check was the rooftop.

He was out of breath when he reached the top of the 5- storey building. Pangzi couldn't even call out Wuxie's name. He bent down holding his knees and stopped for a moment. "Huu..."

He took his time to catch his breath as he looked up, he could see Wuxie standing by the edge of the roof... but not alone.

"Seriously...? That was a waste of my energy." Pangzi sighed.

Earlier...

Wuxie got off the call with his superior. That was the last thing he had to do before they go on to catch Zhan Tian Qing.

"Oh god... I hope he won't slip away this time."

During this busy week, Wuxie and the others barely had any friendly time. All of them being talkative, Wuxie didn't miss any news regarding how they were doing...except Kylin. So, he had picked up the habit of checking on him even though Wuxie was tired and busy.

And like that today also... he looked for Kylin.

"Xiao Hua... where is Xiao ge?" He asked Xiao Hua who was in the room the whole time.

"Not here."

"Oh really!? I couldn't see that at all."

Since Wuxie's mind was all fixed on finding Kylin, he didn't bicker much. He knew if not on the ground floor, Kylin will be on the rooftop.

And he was right.

"Xiao ge..." Wuxie called the man who was standing there looking at the snowy mountains.

"You should be out here often. It's cold. You may get sick." Wuxie expressed his worry as he approached the other.

Kylin just looked at Wuxie over his shoulders and nothing else.

It was an expected response from Kylin. So Wuxie didn't mind it at all. Even though Kylin verbally won't respond to Wuxie, his attention is always on Wuxie. It is the same other way around. And that's how Kylin's quizzical expression didn't miss Wuxie's eyes.
