Chapter 837: Acquaintance
Xue Xi did not expect the special department to be so efficient. They actually found the last person so quickly.
After Jing Fei hung up, Xue Xi followed behind him.
After all… the bet was between her and Daybreak, but the special department had always been the one doing the work. There was only one person left, and she had to do something.
On the way, Jing Fei was still thinking with his fingers. “Graphite, concrete, wax, charcoal. Sister Xi, I know!”
Xue Xi: “?”
What do you know?
Jing Fei said, “Look, these things are used to build houses!”
Xue Xi: “?”
Graphite and wax were not used to build houses!
Jing Fei said, “Could it be that they’re going to do something to a construction site? When we catch the last person, I must tell Boss to pay attention to all the construction sites in China this year.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Jing Fei was smug and triumphant, making Xue Xi’s lips twitch.
She frowned as something seemed to flash past her mind, but she could not capture what exactly was going on.
She simply picked up her phone and planned to report this to Xiang Huai. The call quickly connected and Xiang Huai’s voice sounded. “Why? Did you miss me?”
Xue Xi: “…”
How indecent!
The corners of her lips twitched as she said, “No, but the last esper has been found. Are you coming?”
Usually, if he heard these words, Xiang Huai could put down everything on hand and rush over. However, at this moment, Xiang Huai smiled. “I’m afraid I can’t right now.”
Xue Xi: “?”
Xiang Huai said, “An old friend is here.”
Old friend…
Xue Xi instinctively asked, “Who?”
After saying that, she realized that her words were too abrupt. Xiang Huai’s old friend might not be her old friend. It did not seem right for her to ask this.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xiang Huai chuckle. “Ji Silin.”
“Brother Silin?”
Xue Xi paused and suddenly recalled that Ji Silin had been forced to leave back then.
Brother Silin also had a special power, and it was the ability to heal people’s hearts. Xue Xi hesitated for a moment. “Do you need me to go over?”
After all, the gigolo did not have any special power. What he said to others was just a bluff. If Brother Silin and Xiang Huai fought, Xiang Huai would probably not be his match.
Xiang Huai was a little excited. “Are you worried about me?”
“Mhm. I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive Brother Silin’s beating.”
“…”
The other party was silent for a while before Xiang Huai chuckled. “No need. This last esper is also considered an old friend of yours. Without you around, I’m afraid Jing Fei and the rest can’t handle it.”
Such a troublesome opponent?
Xue Xi was worried about Jing Fei and Xiang Huai. After pausing for a moment, she simply said, “Put your phone on speaker mode. I’ll speak to Brother Silin.”
“Okay, it’s on.”
“Brother Silin, if you want to hit him, please be gentle at least.”
“…Beep, beep, beep.”
Xiang Huai hung up.
Xue Xi could not help but laugh.
She still had the most instinctual trust in Ji Silin and felt that Xiang Huai’s safety would not be jeopardized.
After hanging up, she followed Jing Fei to the scene of the arrest.
Coincidentally, it was at the back of Huaxia University.
Xue Xi guessed something and looked forward. Indeed, she saw a familiar person—
