Chapter 945: Hehe, You Will Protect Me?

When Xu Ye heard this, he was unbelievably happy.

“Hehe, you will personally protect me? In that case, I have not suffered for nothing.”

Quan Jue glanced at him and said expressionlessly, “Are you sure you don’t want to lock him up somewhere? That’s a better way of ensuring his safety.”

Xu Ye looked at him in disdain, his eyes filled with annoyance. “Why are you so mean?”

Quan Jue gave a fake smile. “I’m just being nice. Or do you still want to be targeted by She Qi?”

Xu Ye didn’t believe him and was furious.

Chi Jiao didn’t want to see the two men fighting. She cleared her throat. “Beitang Lie, leave with Xu Ye first and send him home. You will be responsible for protecting him for the time being.”

Beitang Lie did not want to leave.

He hadn’t had a chance to speak to Pei Yao!

But since his boss Chi Jiao had spoken, he couldn’t disobey her. “Alright, then. Yaoyao, remember to call and text me. I’ll look for you.”

Pei Yao had been sitting in her seat with a calm expression.

After Beitang Lie’s words, she looked utterly embarrassed. She urged him on with a red face, “Alright, alright, I understand. Leave quickly.”

After Xu Ye and Beitang Lie left, Chi Jiao did not say anything. She only looked at Pei Yao with a teasing gaze.

Even though she didn’t say anything, Pei Yao still blushed and stammered, “Jiaojiao, don’t misunderstand. It’s not what you think…”

“I didn’t say anything. You’re behaving so cute. Have you heard of that saying? One always inadvertently reveals what one intends to hide,” Chi Jiao said seriously.

Pei Yao’s petite face was already red. She cleared her throat and pretended to be serious. “If you tease me again, I won’t tell you anything!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Tell me, what did you find out when you brought Xu Ye for his physical examination?” As Chi Jiao spoke, she retracted her smile.

“We didn’t tell him the details. To put it simply, his situation is very complex. He has two consciousnesses in his body, the other being the remnant consciousness of a woman. This remnant consciousness is already very old. She’s stored in Xu Ye’s body. With our current technology, we can’t remove this remnant consciousness, we can only destroy it,” Pei Yao said with a solemn expression.

Quan Jue acutely sensed the seriousness of the matter. He asked casually, “If we kill this remnant consciousness, what will happen to Xu Ye?”

Pei Yao smiled awkwardly. “He’ll die, too.”

Chi Jiao’s lips twitched. “That won’t do.”

“We’re guessing that the remnant consciousness belongs to Bai Wanxi. That’s why She Qi targeted Xu Ye when he was looking for her,” Pei Yao said worriedly.

Hearing this name, Chi Jiao’s heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. Bitterness rose in her heart. “Does this mean that Bai Wanxi still has her own consciousness?”

“I’m not sure, but I can confirm that the headquarters can’t separate Bai Wanxi from Xu Ye,” Pei Yao said.
