After that, I'll head to XZ. I'll leave Juanjuan in your hands."
Scarface froze.
"What are you going to do? Do you know how much Juanjuan has missed you over the past few years? Why are you still leaving?"
"You asked me to leave back then because you were planning to make a move against Li Xie, weren't you?"
Scarface froze, then nodded.
"That's right. I suspected something was off about Li Xie, so I wanted to make a move. But if you were here, you'd definitely stop me"
"Right. I wouldn't turn on one of our own over a mere suspicion. So, Scarface, I don't want you to make a move just yet, either. Keep a close eye on Juanjuan,
and as long as you can guarantee she stays safe, we can work everything else out."
Scarface nodded.
"I understand what you mean, but Li Xie..."
"Mm, I understand what you're saying too. But listen, right now... Xu Wei being at this base proves that something is definitely going to happen. That guy is absolutely no good. For all we know, he might be the one who's made you all suspicious of each other this time. The way he manipulates people is downright unbelievable."
Xu Wei was far too dangerous. If he was an ally, that was one thing, but if he was an enemy, it really felt like a thorn in my side—as though a venomous snake had its eyes on me, ready at any moment to bare its fangs from some shadowy corner and figure out how to kill me without a sound.
"All right, that's all. Scarface, I'm counting on you to look after Juanjuan. My leg should be healed soon, too."
I glanced at Scarface as I said this.
"Mm, all right. Focus on recovering.
