Chapter 3462: Chapter 3462: They Didn’t Bring the Lucky Star
He still had more to say, how could they just send him out like that?
He’d been standing in the rain outside for so long precisely because he wanted to hear his master tear into Xiao Yi, so how did it end up with him getting scolded instead, and half of that missing-person task being dumped onto him?
Wasn’t that way too unfair?
"This subordinate takes his leave."
Xiao Yi didn’t linger, he turned around and left straight away.
Ge Leader looked at his own master, then turned to look at Xiao Yi’s departing back, so angry his teeth itched.
But what could he do? The master didn’t even want to see him right now. He could only say he was taking his leave, then go, following after Xiao Yi’s footsteps.
Once he caught up with Xiao Yi, he glared at him viciously.
"Don’t think this leader doesn’t know that the one in that courtyard last night was you!" he said.
"Ge Leader, you’re overthinking it."
Of course Xiao Yi would never admit it. He would never give anyone a chance to grab hold of his weaknesses.
Ge Leader’s silver teeth were practically about to be ground to dust by his own bite.
"Would never," my ass. That was fake as hell. The people he’d bought off couldn’t possibly have mistaken him. Sure, he’d cursed that man out last night, but that was just because he’d been pissed and needed someone to vent on.
But in truth, he trusted that man’s eyes. That person Xiao Yi met was definitely Xiao Yi!
"You just wait, this leader is going to keep a close eye on you!"
"You’re welcome to supervise me, Ge Leader."
Xiao Yi pulled a skin-deep smile at him, all teeth and no warmth, his voice so cold it made one shiver.
"But Ge Leader should hurry and take your men to go find those people. After all, Ge Leader is known for high efficiency. Don’t fall behind in front of the master."
"You—"
Ge Leader opened his mouth, wanting to unleash a string of curses.
Just thinking about having to go find those people made him panic.
Where the hell was he supposed to find them? And even if he did, those people all had poisonous pills on them. If they scattered just one handful, they’d all be done for.
He really couldn’t figure it out—why would the master hand a task like this over to him? It was just...
All Xiao Yi’s fault. If he hadn’t run his mouth, how would the master have given that kind of mission to him? He would’ve thrown it all on Xiao Yi alone.
By then, even if someone got poisoned, the only one who’d die would be Xiao Yi.
"This leader has no time to chat with you here. Just you wait!"
Taking a deep breath, he stepped past Xiao Yi, leaving him only a view of his back. The moment he thought about having to go find those people, his head started pounding.
...
In broad daylight, Xiao Yi had only just come out of the City Lord Residence when, on the road back to his own courtyard, he ran into two people.
Xiao Yi: "!"
He rolled his neck, looked left and right, then carefully felt around. Only after confirming there was no one else nearby did he turn his head to look at the two in front of him.
"You two..."
For a moment, he actually couldn’t find his voice.
Broad daylight, and these people were seriously bold as brass, daring to come out like this—were they not afraid of being seen and getting arrested?
Especially since, what kind of combo was this? A half-grown brat with a little baby in tow. The other two from yesterday weren’t here; they’d swapped in a new one.
"That brother of yours didn’t come with you?"
He was asking about Min Yi, because Min Yi had left the deepest impression on him—a kid with freakishly good luck.
As long as you took him along, you basically wouldn’t run into any big trouble, and even if you did, he’d somehow turn misfortune into blessing.
Yet these two had come out without bringing the lucky star.
