“Pu Nan! It’s been a long time! Why didn’t you tell me that you are coming back!” Yin Yue was standing at the door and she greeted Qiao Mei from a distance.
When Qiao Mei got closer, she asked curiously, “I just arrived in Country M. Is the casino very grand now? They actually ask a Silver Spider to stand guard at the door? It’s really too extravagant.”
“Let’s not talk about it! I made Yin Xing angry and she punished me by making me stand guard at the door for a month. I’m suffering inside!” Yin Yue said aggrievedly.
“Don’t look at me like that! You must have done something very overboard. Otherwise, with Yin Xing’s temper, she won’t bear to flare up at you,” Qiao Mei said.
“How do you know Yin Xing so well! I… I threw out all the grenades in my pocket to show off when I was on a mission. I was feeling so happy that day and I wanted to hear the cannon salute,” Yin Yue said.
The corners of Qiao Mei’s mouth twitched. How interesting. Did these people from criminal organizations think of grenades as fireworks?
“You must be here to look for Sister Bella! She’s already waiting for you on the second floor!” Yin Yue said quickly.
“She knows that I’m back?” Qiao Mei asked in shock.
“Of course! Is there anything in Sky City that we don’t know? It’s just that our sworn enemy has been monitoring us recently and it’s not convenient for Sister Bella to pick you up personally. She’s worried that those people will target you. Our people have been secretly protecting you this whole time,” Yin Yue whispered.
Qiao Mei immediately scanned the people around her. She had been in Sky City for so long and had not seen any strange people or felt any strange stares. Could it be that her superpower had lost its effect? Or could it be that the people Bella sent to protect her were so powerful! They could actually hide their breathing and their footsteps.
“Stop looking around! Let me tell you secretly, we don’t get our information by following people. We’re Spiders!” Yin Yue said proudly.
It was then that Qiao Mei understood that there was no one following her. Instead, the entire Sky City was under Bella’s control and they had people on every street. All these people formed a huge spider web and with a light touch of the web, her location was known to all of them.
“I’ll go look for Bella first. Just stand here and wait for Yin Xing to forgive you!” Qiao Mei patted Yin Yue’s shoulder and walked straight towards the second floor of the casino.
Bella was already sitting in the meeting room, waiting for Qiao Mei’s arrival. She knew that Qiao Mei would definitely come and look for her.
“Bella~ Did you miss me~” Qiao Mei rushed into the room and said happily.
“The little girl is still as naughty as ever. Why didn’t you come and look for me as soon as you got off the plane?” Bella asked dotingly.
“I didn’t sleep the entire night and it was really too tiring after the flight, so I took a nap first. I have come to look for you after my meal, haven’t I?” Qiao Mei hugged Bella’s arm and said sweetly.
“Alright, I know why you’re here. Go and take a look at what I’ve prepared for you on the table,” Bella said.
There were many things on the table, including jewelry, medicinal herbs and a thick stack of documents. Qiao Mei picked up the things and looked at Bella in confusion.
“Since you left, I would buy you some items every month. Whenever I was on a mission and I came across nice things, I would bring them back for you. I know you like jewelry very much. As for the medicinal herbs, Julie told me about them. She said that you would like these,” Bella explained.
Qiao Mei did not expect Bella to go to this extent for her. Bella behaved like her family member, like an elder sister who was waiting for her to come home.
However, Country M was not her home after all and Bella had never called her after she went back to the capital. She thought that the two of them were just ordinary friends and did not have such a close relationship. Moreover, Qiao Mei did not intend to have anything more to do with the largest underground assassination organization in Country M.
“Thank you. I never expect you to do this… I’m sorry…” Qiao Mei looked at Bella apologetically. This was because she had not prepared anything this time, not even a small gift.
“Why are you apologizing to me?” Bella asked in surprise.
“Because I don’t have anything to reciprocate your kindness. I definitely won’t do this next time!” Qiao Mei said.
“It’s alright, I’m not someone who cares about such things. I’d suggest that you read that stack of information after a few days. It’s related to Fang Chen and Jessica. Fang Chen is now…” Bella shook her head helplessly and continued,” He’s no longer the unknown person from before. His circle of influence is almost even bigger than what Jack has now. ”
“It can’t be! The casino is still the most powerful!” Qiao Mei said.
