Chapter 369: Honey Trap?!
Tears glistened in her eyes, like dewdrops on flower petals in the early morning, so pitiful.
She said in a gentle voice, "Boss, can you tell I'm from Xia? I really don't want to live this displaced life anymore. I like you and I want to be with you."
As she spoke, she gently drew circles on Qi Tongwei's chest with her hands, her eyes full of resentment and expectation.
Qi Tongwei frowned, his heart full of doubts.
He wondered what kind of plot these people were pulling off. This sudden honey trap caught him off guard.
He knew that this was definitely not a simple confession from a woman, and there must be some conspiracy behind it.
Was this arranged by Bellamy to test him? Or did he have other motives?
Qi Tongwei's brain was working at full speed, but he couldn't show any abnormality on the surface.
He gently pushed the woman away, with a seemingly helpless yet somewhat moved expression on his face, and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you? We just met, why are you saying such things?"
But the woman refused to give in. She came closer and said coquettishly, "Boss, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You don't know that I live in pain every day here. Only you can save me."
Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart. He was silently thinking about how to deal with this situation. He wanted to prevent the other party from noticing his suspicion, but also to get some useful information from this woman.
Qi Tongwei said, "When Boss Bellamy comes back, I'll talk to him and take you away."
As he spoke, he carefully observed the woman's expression.
The other person's tone suddenly became sad, and there was a hint of despair in her voice: "Can you leave?"
Qi Tongwei frowned suspiciously and asked, "Why can't we leave?"
His eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't understand why the woman asked this.
The other party looked at Qi Tongwei, his eyes full of sadness and worry. Finally, he sighed helplessly and shook his head gently: "Boss, you shouldn't have come."
Qi Tongwei was shocked. He suddenly realized that this woman seemed to know something unknown.
He immediately became alert, staring at the woman intently, and asked seriously, "What do you mean?"
When the woman heard Qi Tongwei's question, she suddenly burst into tears as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time had burst out.
She cried and opened her heart to Qi Tongwei: "They want to kill you today. What do you think they went out for? Actually, they just want to find a reason to destroy this base."
When Qi Tongwei heard the news, he was confused.
He felt that his disguise over the past few days was flawless and should not arouse the other party's suspicion.
He quickly reviewed his every move of the past few days, every expression, every word, and did not find any obvious flaws.
His mind was racing, thinking about all the possibilities.
Did Bellamy notice some subtle movement of his? Or had he inadvertently revealed some peculiar habit? Or perhaps something had gone wrong with the Dragon Group, implicating him?
Qi Tongwei's eyes became cold, he knew that he had to deal with it calmly.
He looked at the crying woman in front of him, trying to judge the truth of her words from her expression.
He whispered to her, "Girl, don't cry yet. Tell me what happened in detail. How did you know they were going to kill me?"
The woman sobbed, wiped her tears with her hands, and said, "Boss, I've been here for quite a while. I heard their conversation. They think you're very suspicious. Although they appear to be very enthusiastic towards you, they've been secretly investigating you."
Today they found some evidence that you might not be who you said you were, so Bellamy went out to arrange for someone to come back and destroy you and this base together, so that all evidence can be destroyed and there will be no handle left. "
Qi Tongwei was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that he had fallen into such a dangerous situation.
On the surface, he pretended to be calm and said, "Girl, why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that they will harm you?"
The woman raised her head and looked at Qi Tongwei with a firm look in her eyes: "Boss, I said, I am from Xia Country. I don't want to see my compatriots being hurt by them, and I also want to leave this place. Only you can save me."
Qi Tongwei nodded. He knew that he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
He was silently thinking in his mind, should he first find a way to inform Longshi and the others to change their plan, or should he find a chance to escape from the base first?
Qi Tongwei's expression turned serious. He stared closely at the woman named Xiaozhao in front of him and said in a low and serious voice, "Xiaozhao, you have to be responsible for what you said. Bellamy is a good person."
He said this deliberately, on the one hand to test Xiaozhao's reaction, and on the other hand to confuse possible eavesdroppers.
When Xiaozhao heard what Qi Tongwei said, she cried even harder, and her crying was like a flood that broke through the dam, surging and surging.
Her eyes were filled with fear and anger, and she shouted, "Good man? He eats people without leaving any bones."
Xiaozhao cried and looked towards the door cautiously, as if something terrible might jump out from behind the door at any time.
Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she quickly approached Qi Tongwei.
Her movements were gentle, yet filled with urgency.
She almost whispered into Qi Tongwei's ear, lowering her voice to say, "Don't go anywhere tonight. No matter what they say, no matter who calls you, don't go. If you go, you will die."
There was a slight tremor in her voice, an instinctive fear of danger.
Qi Tongwei was startled, he knew that what Xiaozhao said was not groundless.
But he still wanted to get more information from this woman. Just as he was about to ask, Xiaozhao seemed to guess what he was thinking.
Xiaozhao said this to Qi Tongwei with red eyes, and slapped herself without hesitation.
The slap was extremely hard, and the "slap" sound was particularly loud in the quiet room.
A red handprint instantly appeared on her face, and the corner of her mouth was bleeding slightly due to the sudden force.
Xiaozhao choked up, and with a deliberately exaggerated voice, he said, "I shouldn't be so rude to you, boss."
She did this on the one hand to make the people outside the door think that she was being punished for offending Qi Tongwei, and on the other hand to buy Qi Tongwei more time to think of countermeasures.
