Chapter 497: Forced imposition

However, before Lei Qian could ask Bai Meiyue what was wrong, he noticed Fox and Dacheng standing in front of her. Realising that they were here for trouble, he rushed forward and came to a stop in front of Bai Meiyue. He turned around and looked at Fox, who was smiling at him and asked, "And why are you here? I do not believe we have done anything for this unpleasant surprise."

"When did I say that you have done something? Is this a confession?" Fox questioned with a tilt of his head. His smile never wavered, even though he was standing in front of a high-level ability user. He stayed where he was standing and looked at Lei Qian.

"It’s not a confession but a simple question. There is no need to play detective with us when you are a thief yourself," said Lei Qian, not budging an inch while standing in front of Bai Meiyue. "Now, why are you here?"

"Just a little something," Fox replied. His smile creased a little as he stopped Dacheng, who was about to shoot forward and confront Lei Qian. He turned to look at Dacheng and remarked, "I know you are in a hurry to make some contribution to the base, but there is no need to be in such a rush."

"I apologise," said Dacheng as he lowered his head and stepped back, but as Fox turned around, he lifted his chin and glared at Lei Qian and Bai Meiyue as if it was their fault that he was getting scolded.

Fox, on the other hand, continued speaking, "I came here for two things. Firstly, did you hear about the explosion at the west port? Where the Xen community is located."

Bai Meiyue pursed her lips as she understood almost immediately that even though Yu Miaomiao had not pushed for an arrest, she was gravely suspicious of her, and the only reason she hadn’t reached out to hold Bai Meiyue accountable was because she didn’t have any evidence. After all, if she had any evidence, Yu Miaomiao wouldn’t have sent Fox to deliver the warning.

"We did hear about it, so what?" Lei Qian asked. He didn’t deny it because it would sound like a lie. After all, the explosion was a big thing, and it would be shocking if they heard nothing about it.

Fox’s eyes seemed to be examining Lei Qian from head to toe. After a while, he said, "Oh, it’s nothing. We just wanted to ask if you have something to do with it."

"If I did, then wouldn’t you know?" Lei Qian offered with a cheeky smile that matched Fox’s.

Seeing that the man was rounding the entire thing into circles, Fox knew that he would not be getting an answer from him. He scoffed and then said to Lei Qian, "And there is another thing that I need to tell you."
