Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 753 - 402 uneasy
Chapter 753: 402 uneasy
Qiankun Hotel Rooftop, in the luxurious Presidential Suite exclusively for Zhao Qiankun, Zhao was indulging in pleasure when the communicator on the bedside suddenly rang. He stretched out his arm, took the communicator, read the displayed message, and smiled with pride - the Bai Family had fallen into his trap, and his plan was finally foolproof!
However, even though the Bai Family had acquired ten SEP-4s, enabling them to quickly gain ten Level 4 superpower users, the attack on Luyun County had been postponed to five days later, for no other reason than allowing these people to stabilize their realms early and adapt to the combat of Level 4 superpower users.
For this reason alone, there had been numerous confrontations between Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun. Bai Zhengyi was suspicious by nature and wanted everything to be foolproof, naturally, the longer the better, but Zhao Qiankun was not willing to give him such an opportunity. In the end, after much contention, the time was finally set for five days later, gathering at seven in the morning at the square.
Fang Yuxin and her two companions had also signed up for the mission. While the task of attacking Luyun County had yet to start, the trio took on some other missions, earning some Crystal Cores while also serving as a cover. At the same time, they had managed to gather more information about Beishi Base.
For instance, Qin Xiran, the young lady from the Qin Family who had once pestered Fang Yuyang incessantly, ended up marrying Qu Qianlin. The marriage alliance between the Qin Family and the Qu Family was originally intended to unite the two families against either the Bai Family or Zhao Qiankun’s takeover. Unfortunately, their power was insufficient. Even though the alliance was successful, they still couldn’t turn the tide and ultimately had to rely on the Bai Family.
The takeover of the Qu Family’s Star Mercenary Corps Group had obviously been a great shock to Qu Xiuhong. Already in his twilight years, he appeared even more aged after that incident, no longer able to manage affairs, becoming frail and weak. Now, the Qu Family was almost solely dependent on Qu Qiancheng.
After the Qu Family’s downfall, Qu Qianlin didn’t act as recklessly as before, but regrettably, a leopard cannot change its spots. He not only failed to assist Qu Qiancheng but often caused him considerable trouble. Qin Xiran’s relationship with him was also poor; the two often argued and even physically fought, making them a laughing stock at the base.
The trio felt complex emotions upon hearing such news. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, after all, had a blood connection to the Qu Family. Though Qu Qianhe severed ties with them, the blood connection remained. They held no affection for the Qu Family, but hearing of their tragic downfall still filled them with melancholy.
Although Bai Ye had no relations with the Qu Family, being a native of Beishi City, he too felt a sentimental pang seeing the once-great Qu Family reduced to such a state. Thinking about how Qin Xiran was almost married to him, he felt immensely relieved.
Just as he was pondering this, Bai Ye suddenly heard Fang Yuxin say, "I heard... your aunt and uncle were quite fond of Qin Xiran and even wanted to set you two up. They almost got you to marry her, is that right?"
Bai Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly clarified, "That was just them fooling around! I never liked her, Xinxin, don’t overthink it!" he said, his face tense as he looked at Fang Yuxin.
Fang Yuxin was just teasing him; she knew about Bai Ye’s feelings for her and didn’t believe that someone with Bai Ye’s discernment would fancy a spoiled and unreasonable lady like Qin Xiran. Hence, she just gave Bai Ye a noncommittal smile and said nothing.
Bai Ye panicked, regardless of Fang Yuyang watching intently beside them, quickly moved closer to Fang Yuxin, and carefully said while holding her hand, "Xinxin, believe me, I really don’t like her. I didn’t like her before, and I certainly won’t like her now." freēwēbnovel.com
Seeing that he seemed very anxious, Fang Yuxin didn’t have the heart to tease him too harshly and smiled, blinking, "I didn’t say I didn’t believe you, why are you in a panic?"
Fang Yuyang observed him looking so pathetic and couldn’t help but shake his head and snorted disdainfully. He had watched Fang Yuxin grow up, treasuring his sister immensely, always worried that some bad guy would whisk her away. He had also never been fond of Qiu Yiming, who had always been clinging to Fang Yuxin, treating her like his own little wife.
As Fang Yuxin grew up, his worries grew stronger, and his dislike for Qiu Yiming grew. Unfortunately, Fang Yuxin liked Qiu Yiming, and he couldn’t bear to make his sister sad, so he refrained from acting. Later, seeing Fang Yuxin finally see Qiu Yiming’s true nature and break things off with him, he hadn’t even had time to rejoice when Bai Ye started pursuing her!
