"Why did Spiritual Snake show you mercy?" Gu Shili asked with a frown, his gaze anxiously scanning her body, afraid she might have been hurt.
"I don’t know yet. What’s the situation now? Why didn’t you leave?" Qiao Qiqi felt that a place like this couldn’t possibly hold Gu Shili; he must have a reason for staying.
"It doesn’t do any good if I leave alone; this Spiritual Snake wants to use those people to negotiate with Country F and is currently engaged in talks," Gu Shili said softly.
"So what do you plan to do?" Qiao Qiqi looked at his noticeably thinner face and felt pained.
"I originally planned to act during the exchange if both sides agreed to it."
"How confident are you that you can successfully rescue everyone?"
"Not confident, I can only try my best," Gu Shili said honestly.
"Let’s do this: you, Lu Youyou, and Sister Yun will come with me first, and after we get out, we’ll plan how to save the others," Qiao Qiqi suggested.
Gu Shili thought for just two seconds before nodding, "I’ll follow your lead."
"Spiritual Snake promised to release us in three days, so by then you’ll come out with me, and we’ll handle everything else afterward."
"What exactly is that Spiritual Snake up to?" Gu Shili asked, gripping her hand uneasily.
How could a leader within a terrorist organization like Spiritual Snake be so kind-hearted?
"We’ll know soon enough." Qiao Qiqi looked into the distance with a determined gaze in her eyes.
Qiao Qiqi did not linger long and left first, but she didn’t return to her place; instead, she went to find Spiritual Snake’s residence. She had to uncover his identity!
Qiao Qiqi silently entered Spiritual Snake’s room. As soon as she entered, she heard him ask, "Has Qiqi crossed over?"
"Who...exactly are you?" Qiao Qiqi fixed her eyes on the silhouette standing by the window.
The man’s body stiffened slightly, and after a moment, he slowly turned to look at the woman in the room.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the man before her, eyes filled with shock, "You...you’re my Sixth Cousin!"
The man in front resembled the men of the Rong Family by seventy percent, especially Second Brother, exquisite and beautiful yet somewhat cold.
The only man from the Rong Family she hadn’t seen was Sixth Cousin, Rong Fei!
"I never expected to meet my sister this way," Rong Fei approached, gazing at her tenderly.
He had already heard about his real sister returning home. In fact, he knew all about her, as someone reported to him almost daily with photos and videos.
"Sixth Brother, how did you end up here? How did you become Spiritual Snake?" Qiao Qiqi nervously grasped the man’s arm, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.
Rong Fei felt unbelievably warm inside; from the first time he saw his sister, her gaze had always been calm, even a bit indifferent, which was a disregard for everything around her.
He never expected such a drastic change once she learned of his identity.
It showed she truly cared about him.
"This is a long story. Sit and I’ll give you a brief explanation," Rong Fei said as he pulled her over to sit on the sofa.
He began talking about how he ended up here and became Spiritual Snake.
As it turned out, Spiritual Snake was not just him; it was merely a code name. The former Spiritual Snake had died, and he was the latest successor.
So those crimes of brutality and killing without hesitation did not belong to him, but rather to the previous Spiritual Snake.
Since taking over, Rong Fei had been maneuvering among various forces because he wasn’t ruthless enough.
