Chapter 98: Protection Or Warning?
Recalling the familiar aura he had sensed from Bai Hanyun and the comforting feeling when near her, Gui Xiaoxu reached inside his clothes to touch a jade pendant hidden within. Rubbing its smooth surface, he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "Have Bu Gui Pavilion reject the mission."
Ke Ting was stunned when he heard that. After a moment of thought, he said, "Boss, this is the first time you have canceled a mission. Do you know this Bai Hanyun?"
Gui Xiaoxu shook his head. "Not yet. But... Maybe in the future."
Ke Ting raised an eyebrow at his words. He studied Gui Xiaoxu’s face but couldn’t read a thing from his calm, expressionless demeanor.
Sensing his gaze, Gui Xiaoxu asked, "Still not going?"
Snapping out of his thought, Ke Ting replied, "I will handle it immediately. Boss, should I send someone to protect Miss Bai?"
Gui Xiaoxu shook his head. "No need. Someone has already sent professionals to protect her. I haven’t found out what I want to know about her. We shouldn’t get involved for now."
"Understood," Ke Ting said with a nod before leaving.
After he left, Gui Xiaoxu picked up the file again and looked at Bai Hanyun’s picture. As he studied her face, he muttered, "Bai Hanyun.... This is getting interesting."
Half an hour later, Bai Yansheng received a notification that Bu Gui Pavilion had rejected his assassination request.
