Goudan'er had the Qing Yi and Red-clad ones leave first. Their destination was naturally our residence.
Those Qing Yi and Red-clad ones were lurking in the shadows. He wanted to see what A Wu would do.
I had dealt with A Wu several times. Honestly, I had a pretty good impression of him.
Back in the underground city, he had given us quite a bit of help as well.
I just hadn't expected it all to be an illusion he had created.
Of course, I trusted Goudan'er even more. What we shared could be called a bond forged through life-and-death trials. Several times, when I was in the greatest danger, Goudan'er had stood in front of me.
Jiang Xiaohui chatted with Goudan'er, talking about nothing more than tales of settling grudges and living freely.
Jiang Xiaohui said that someday, he would definitely accompany Goudan'er to the underground city and wreak havoc. He said it had been a long time since he had fought so freely.
Jiang Xiaohui and Goudan'er were actually the same kind of people. If they could solve a problem with their fists, they would never waste their breath. Goudan'er had truly changed a lot, though. He had become more reserved and thoughtful, and he had begun to have plans of his own.
But whenever he was with Jiang Xiaohui, he became the old Goudan'er again.
And he still greatly respected Ying Gou, who was both mentor and friend to him, just as he had before.
"Keeping Yan Rou by your side is no different from carrying a ticking time bomb. You need to know that she represents R9's will. R9 had her follow us partly to keep watch on us, and partly because he could control her to do anything at any time," Ye Jinghong reminded me.
