Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 30

Quite early on the following morning, Bai Jing received information about the supplies from Xiao San. But soon after, before he even had the chance to get busy, he received a call from the said man.

Xiao San directly questioned him with a tone so sour it caused Bai Jing to laugh on the inside.

"Who was that woman? Why was she in your house?"

"Who she is? Don't you already know?"Bai Jing asked back.

His face was emotionless, for he knew Xiao San personality and already had a feeling he was under constant observation. Nonetheless he was a bit puzzled; by-passing the district security system just to keep an eye on him, just how powerful was this man and how possessive was he, that he knew everything that happened in his life?

"You tell me."

Xiao San said, his voice dropping a degree or two and turned colder.

He was mad because he didn't know who that woman was, but most of his frustration was cause by the fact that he knew he had no other choice but to ask him directly.

Bai Jing smiled, knowing that Xiao San was dying to know, and he softly whispered

"... The daughter of the Vice Mayor."

Xiao San choked. He had many questions in his head but his heart felt so bitter he could only curse those poachers and old lovers that appears only when he happens to be away for a couple of days. At that moment he decided in coming back as often as possible.

"What is your relationship?"

"Did you not investigate that already? Old lovers."

Bai Jing caressed his smiling lips, rejoicing in seen Xiao San struggling to get the truth out of him.

"And you broke up with her?"

Xiao San heart boiled with anger and thus could not help it when his voice came out a lot louder than expected.

Han Yan who happened to be near Xiao San at that moment, and having heard the exchange between them choose wisely and ran away, very aware that his brother was not having it!

"If you know... then why are you asking?" said Bai Jing coolly.

He was acting more cold then he really felt. This whole conversation was predictable as Xiao San's reaction was not unexpected; but he was a bit distracted thinking about his secret, and its possibility of it been discovered.

" ... ... I was worried!" after a long silence, Xiao San spoke with a tangled voice.

But Bai Jing completely ignored him and was instead increasingly concerned about what could be the potential cost of this lack of privacy.

Xiao San was the kind of person that no matter how much you criticize him it was impossible to get him to admit his faults but Bai Jing still went on and asked,

"Who did you send to spy on me? How come I didn't perceive it?" Because nor him, Xuebing or Cao Lei discovered anything suspicious which in itself was highly abnormal.

"It's a camera."

Knowing that Bai Jing hasn't investigated the situation he didn't bother concealing it. Xiao San had been told that the community security was very strict. Not even reporters could get inside, so sending someone to monitor Bai Jing would be meaningless as he would have been spotted.

"I see... Anyways, that woman is of no importance. When are you going to receive the stock?" Bai Jing suddenly asked.

Tranquilize, he was smiling again as he talked... He really enjoy teasing Xiao San, but he wouldn't do it and risk creating misunderstanding, therefore he easily confessed. And as the day of the apocalypse was getting closer, he was undergoing an increase in his anxiety.
