Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1494 - 636: Is Secretary Bai Targeting Zhao Ji?

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a gentle smile appeared on the face of Bai Yi. He looked at Qiu Tu and praised, "Just one sentence, and you guessed my identity."

"Can I say, as expected of Agent Qiu?"

"Agent Qiu"... such an unfamiliar yet familiar name. It instantly pulled Qiu Tu back to the time when he was treading carefully in Xinjie City, as if walking on thin ice.

Back then, Secretary Bai, or rather Bai Yi, was a confidant of Yan Chen, deeply trusted by Yan Chen.

But because I once saved him, he always showed me a lot of support.

It was with his help that I was able to get through the early development stages.

Thinking of this... Qiu Tu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Why did it suddenly feel like déjà vu?

Why is my current situation so similar to back then?

At this moment, while Qiu Tu was thinking, Golden Lion couldn't help but first look at Bai Yi and then at Qiu Tu.

Then curiously asked, "Bai Yi, do you know Qiu Tu?"

Hearing Golden Lion's words, Bai Yi smiled and then said, "We had met a few times during previous travels."

Golden Lion, upon hearing this, showed a slight understanding. Perhaps Bai Yi often went out traveling, he wasn't too concerned.

However, Qiu Tu keenly sensed something was amiss.

He couldn't help but look up at Bai Yi. The man who bore little resemblance to Secretary Bai in appearance but had an incredibly similar aura, winked at Qiu Tu with a faint smile.

Qiu Tu's face remained impassive, but his mind was in turmoil.

'Old Bai... is covering for our identities?!'

For a moment, Qiu Tu couldn't figure out Bai Yi's stance.

Or rather, since the moment he met Old Bai, Qiu Tu had never figured out his stance.

If facing Zhao Ji was like looking up to the Himalayas, facing Old Bai felt like dealing with a mist.

It seemed as if he had never seen through Old Bai. He didn't know where he came from, where he had been, what identity or power he had.

Qiu Tu had thought that meeting him today would finally let him see Old Bai's true face. But... with just a blink, it seemed Qiu Tu was pulled back again.

'This guy is toxic!'

Silently musing this in his heart, Qiu Tu followed the group into the fortress, silently observing Old Bai.

One must admit, Old Bai held a high position in the "Fog Hidden Association".

This is evident from the way he, as one of the 12 high-level members, interacted with Golden Lion, the vice-chairman, on equal terms as shown by their address.

This seems to indicate that Bai Yi's identity is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

And what followed proved Qiu Tu's suspicion.

After entering the fortress, there were two main seats, with Bai Yi and Golden Lion sitting on either side, starting their exchange of information.

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu and Zhi Yan sat on the side, waiting silently.

While waiting, after glancing at both Bai Yi and Golden Lion, Zhi Yan looked at Qiu Tu, transmitting with spiritual power, "Speaker Qiu. Do you know Lord Bai Yi?"

Hearing these words from Zhi Yan, Qiu Tu cast him a strange look, then deliberated for a moment before responding with spiritual power, "We've met a few times before."

Upon saying this, Qiu Tu keenly sensed something peculiar. Out of curiosity he asked, "Is King Zhi Yan also very familiar with Lord Bai Yi?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, while Zhi Yan's expression remained unchanged, he replied in his heart, "Not really."

"However... back then, when humanity sought independence, he did lend a helping hand."

"Though perhaps even without him, humanity could have become independent, having his assistance did alleviate some hurdles. Thus, we still owe him a debt of gratitude."

Hearing Zhi Yan's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Old Bai would be connected to such a major event like human independence.

He shot a glance at Old Bai without changing his expression. Unexpectedly, Old Bai happened to be looking at him as well. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The two exchanged glances, with Old Bai offering a gentle smile before turning back to continue the conversation with Zhi Yan.

Qiu Tu:.....

Strangely, Qiu Tu constantly felt as if he was being seen through by Zhao Ji, followed by a dimensional blow....

'Is it because Old Bai has left such a deep impression on me? Or... is he also a "Heavenly God Reincarnation"'

Even though his heart was filled with questions and curiosity, with Old Bai right in front of him, and without figuring out his stance, Qiu Tu dared not act rashly.

So he sat there upright, quietly listening to the two converse.

Golden Lion, "Have you been in contact with the president? How is he doing now?"

Hearing Golden Lion's question, Bai Yi offered a warm smile. Though his eyes weren't large, they were normal enough, but when he smiled, they couldn't help but narrow.

Such an expression on Yan Chen would seem like a hollow smile or intimidating. But on him, it had a gentle allure, making people inclined to trust.

He smiled and said, "Of course. As soon as I was teleported to the 'Edge Region', I confirmed the president's whereabouts and contacted him immediately."

"Thanks to our prior arrangements across the four major regions, communication across regions wasn't difficult."

"However, he was rather unlucky, being randomly sent to the edge of the 'Southeast Region', requiring a few days to get here."

"So he also mentioned, given the circumstances, there's no rush to regroup. He might as well assess a few regions along the way."

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Golden Lion nodded slightly. Then he glanced at Qiu Tu and asked, "So... what does the president think about Qiu Tu's matter?"

Bai Yi glanced at Qiu Tu, and then leisurely replied, "Regarding Speaker Qiu's matter, it was only after contacting the president that I learned about it. So, I haven't had the chance to report to him yet."
