Wu Chengyue sat down and felt a little different. He raised his head and glanced around at the room, but found nothing unusual. Wu Yueling was sitting on the couch like always. Then, he turned his eyes back to the desk and picked up a document, opening it.
Lin Qiao stood by the window as she turned to glance at Wu Chengyue, then at Wu Yueling. After that, she turned back and leaped out of the window.
Wu Chengyue raised his eyes once again and looked around. At last, he cast a glance at the window. He didn't even know why he did that.
Lin Qiao airily landed on the ground, prepared to walk away. But then, she found that she couldn't leave. She retracted her foot and then tried again to make a step forward. As same as the last time, she failed.
She felt as if a gigantic magnet was behind her, attracting her and disabling her from making the second step.
What the hell!
She tried once again. After making the first step, she couldn't even raise her foot to make the second step. She took her foot back, then turned around and walked back toward Wu Chengyue's house. This time, she was able to walk easily.
What was happening? Was she trapped in that house? Why? How? What did her body condition have to do with that house anyway?
She felt as if she had become a ghost, invisible and trapped in a place. If she hadn't seen those zombies out there, she would think that she might have jumped into a fantasy fiction from a science fiction.
She turned and tried to move in other directions, but still failed. She was really trapped by the house.
What on earth did the house have to do with her? Lin Qiao really couldn't understand her situation.
For now, she wasn't able to go back to her own base. With no other choice, she returned to the door of Wu Chengyue's house. Looking at the closed door, she stopped moving.
Should she knock on the door? She didn't think she should let Wu Chengyue know about her current condition. However, without letting him know, she would have no way to make contact with her own base. But, she couldn't tell for sure what Wu Chengyue would do after knowing about her condition!
She believed that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her, but still didn't trust him completely. After some consideration, she decided to ask him for help. She honestly couldn't think of any other idea.
She thought for a second, then returned to the yard and looked up at the house. She glanced at the window of the study room, then made a run-up, leaping high and nimbly landing on the windowsill before flipping into the room.
Once she got in, Wu Chengyue raised his head from the document pile on his desk and looked at the window.
'He can't feel my presence, can he??'Lin Qiao's heart missed a beat.
Wu Chengyue wore no expression as he looked at the open window with confusion. Just now, he felt that something had come in through that window, but his eyes grasped nothing. He sensed the flow of the air. He had the same feeling earlier when he came into the room.
Lin Qiao made a few steps sideways, slowly and gently. As Wu Chengyue was still staring at the window, she sighed with relief.
Why would she sigh with relief anyway? Didn't she want him to know that she was there?
She looked around, then prepared to walk up to Wu Chengyue's desk to try and talk to him. She didn't know if he could hear her yet.
But before that, she sensed that someone was coming upstairs. So, she turned and looked outside the window, deciding to wait.
The person came in through the backdoor, and clearly, he was hiding his tracks. Seeing that man smoothly get into the house and head toward the study room, Lin Qiao figured that he was here to see Wu Chengyue.
Soon, that man showed up at the door of the study room.
Li Yueshan didn't come straight in, but glanced at Wu Yueling, who was sitting on the couch, then gently knocked on the door. Seeing him, Ling Ling immediately got off the couch and quickly ran behind Wu Chengyue's desk, climbing onto his knees by using both her hands and feet.
After that, she alarmedly looked at the man at the door.
She saw that man a lot recently, but still didn't want him to intrude her territory.
Wu Chengyue dropped the document in his hand, then turned to the door and said to the man with a smile, "Are we ready?"
From three meters away from the desk, Li Yueshan nodded and said to him, "Chief Xiao said that we're ready."
Wu Chengyue nodded and said, "Good. Go and get your man ready. Tomorrow, take your man out of the base secretly before dawn. Don't make any move until I'm there."
Tomorrow, Sea City Base would have the last round of negotiations with the leaders from the other bases. After that, it would be over, whether the deal could be made or not.
So tomorrow, while Wei Haichao and the others would have their attention on the negotiation, Wu Chengyue would go out of the base to take out the enemies there.
"Yes, sir!" Li Yueshan nodded, then turned and left.
After watching him leave, Lin Qiao turned to Wu Chengyue. From their short conversation, she learned that Wu Chengyue would kill those people himself. He would not only keep his actions secret, but would also make sure to take out every single one of those people.
Lin Qiao didn't mind that she had accidentally heard his plan. If he succeeded, she would be benefited too. Wu Chengyue was clearly aware of that. Therefore, he wouldn't be afraid to let her know.
She leaned against the window frame and tried to say hi to Wu Chengyue. However, she could not utter any sound.
She wasn't disappointed though. She was already prepared for that.
She gave up on talking, but walked up his desk, then took a pen from the pen container. Next, she pulled over a notebook near it and started writing.
Finding the pen floating in the air and writing by itself, Wu Chengyue was stunned. He managed to stay calm, but he knew that he almost gave a start.
He soon guessed that someone with invisibility might have intruded his house. After learning about Lin Qiao's invisibility, Wu Chengyue could no longer be shocked by that kind of ability.
No wonder he felt that something was near the window just now.
He erased the smile from his face and expressionlessly watched the pen writing on the notebook. At the same time, he started feeling confused.
Since that person managed to sneak into his study room without causing his attention, why didn't he or she hide?
Soon, the invisible being finished a line. She dropped the pen, then turned the notebook around and pushed it toward Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue glanced at the note—'Do me a favor. Send someone to bring Xie Dong here from All Beings Base. '
That simple sentence explained who it was.
