After discussing it to the end, the best conclusion we reached was to wait.
Wait for Xiao Qing's people to arrive, then continue searching for that group's whereabouts.
But we had to be fully involved. No matter what action we took, it had to be on the premise of ensuring the personal safety of those researchers. That was my bottom line.
Seeing that he could not persuade me, old ghost could only sigh.
Old ghost truly did not understand me. If it had been the Doctor, he would not have made such a suggestion.
The Doctor would have considered things from my perspective and come up with a solution that satisfied both sides, rather than simply asking me to abandon those researchers.
I told everyone to go back and rest. After all that running around for most of the day, I was feeling somewhat tired too.
Once they left, the room fell quiet.
I had just lain down on the bed for a short nap when I heard a knock at the door.
I went over and opened it. Xiao Qing was standing outside.
"Won't you invite me in to sit for a while?" Her voice still sounded cold.
I shifted aside, and she entered the room.
I shut the door. "What is it?"
"I contacted my sister. She said she'll send a squad over. Did you call that guy named Xie? I don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings. All these years, we've strictly followed the agreement between both sides. I don't want the rules to be broken with me."
I nodded. I had indeed spoken to Xie Yi about this.
Xie Yi said it was no longer an issue. It had already been discussed before, and the higher-ups had agreed to let them send people to guard these "Dragon Veins."
