Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 514: Routines have always won people's hearts! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Xia Jiang, what did you say? Is there someone there?"

When Bai Ye heard what Hatamoto Natsue said, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

If even Hatamoto Natsue could find the problem, it was natural that as a top killer from the Black Organization, he would not be unaware of anything.

In fact, before Hatamoto Xiajiang discovered the figure peeping in the dark, he had already noticed the other party's existence, and even knew the other party's identity.

A desired pursuer.

However, there is no need to tell Hatamoto Natsue about this matter.

After all, if Hatamoto Natsue knew the identity of the person who came, how could he use the other party to increase Hatamoto Natsue's favorability?
"Um……"

Hatamoto Natsue tightly grasped Bai Ye's arm. She could clearly feel her heartbeat accelerating, like a deer thumping in her chest, but she still tried to calm herself down and said, "Bai Ye-kun... I seem to see someone there..."

The endless darkness seemed to hide countless unknown fears, which made people feel a chill running from the soles of their feet to their hearts, and they were terrified.

"Is that so? I know!"

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly protected her behind him, used his body as a barrier, and then stared at the corner with sharp eyes.

"Xia Jiang, stay here, I'll go take a look!"

Sticking tightly to Bai Ye's back, feeling the slight warmth coming from that broad back, Hatamoto Xiajiang seemed to have found the only safe haven in this cold and dark world. His trembling heart also found some comfort and security, and slowly calmed down a little, "Bai Ye-kun, please don't do it, it might be my illusion..."

As she spoke, there was an undisguised tremor in her voice, trying to convince herself and Bai Ye that it was just a false alarm.

She tried to calm herself down, trying to calm her pounding heart, but her thoughts were flying uncontrollably: Who could be there? Could it be those people with bad intentions?

What if Bai Yejun is in danger because of my discovery?

All kinds of thoughts ran through her mind, making her feel upset.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she was just misunderstanding all this.

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes deep, "It may not be an illusion, we should be careful, so it is better to go and take a look."

Did Hatamoto Natsue make a mistake? Others might not know, but how could he not know?
But to be honest, in the beginning, he really didn't want to take advantage of the peeper, nor did he intend to take the opportunity to trick Hatamoto Natsue.

However, the other party has taken the initiative to bring the opportunity to him. If he turns a blind eye to it, wouldn’t he be wasting this God-given opportunity?

Taking a deep breath, Hatamoto Natsue gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Then I'll go with you!"

If she didn't find out the identity of that figure, she would probably toss and turn in fear and unable to sleep tonight!

"Well, that's fine!"

Bai Ye seemed to be keenly aware of the fear and anxiety in Hatamoto Xia Jiang's heart. He gently patted her shoulder with his broad palm and comforted her in a gentle and firm tone, "Don't worry, Xia Jiang, I will protect you."

Bai Ye's voice was low and firm, as if it had a magical power that could soothe people's hearts and give Hatamoto Xiajiang great courage.

"Um……"

Hatamoto Xiajiang nodded gently, and like a docile kitten, he followed Bai Ye closely, and walked slowly towards the passage. He took every step carefully, as if the road under his feet was not solid ground, but full of unknown traps, and he would be doomed if he was not careful...

……

While remaining vigilant, Bai Ye slowly approached the passage, his steps light and slow, as if he was afraid of disturbing the silent air.

The air around him seemed to be frozen and silent. Only his light breathing and increasingly heavy footsteps echoed in the silence.

Hatamoto Natsue followed closely behind, her heart beating like a drum, but under Bai Ye's protection, she felt a little relieved.

When they were about to reach the corner of the passage, Bai Ye suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal Hatamoto Natsue to keep quiet.

Hatamoto Natsue obediently covered his mouth, staring at Bai Ye's back nervously, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit.

"no one?"

Bai Ye's eyes were like a searchlight, quickly scanning the situation behind the corner, but he did not find any suspicious figures in the passage.

"Is he hiding?"

Hatamoto Natsue also suppressed the fear and anxiety in his heart, listened attentively, and tried to catch the movements of the peeper.

However, apart from the sound of their own breathing, the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in the silence of death, with silence and darkness.

The endless darkness was like a giant beast that would choose its prey and devour its prey, hiding countless unknown fears.

A slight chill, like the tongue of an icy snake, silently snaked up from the soles of her feet and went straight into her heart, making the hairs all over her body stand on end.

At this moment, as if he noticed something, Bai Ye slowly approached the wall on the side, reached out and gently touched the wall, and then suddenly, he pulled hard, and a hidden secret door was opened, revealing a dark and narrow passage.

Seeing this scene, Hatamoto Natsue couldn't help but exclaimed, "What is this?"

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, "It looks like it should be a secret passage."

When he said this, Bai Ye sighed slightly, his tone seemed a little regretful, "It seems that our uninvited guest has escaped."

Hatamoto Natsue pursed her pink lips and asked nervously, "Then should we chase after her?"

If they don't chase, the peeper may come back at any time, but if they chase, no one knows what is in that passage. What if they both encounter danger during the chase?
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No, we don't know anything about that secret passage. It's too dangerous to rashly fight in the opponent's home turf. After all, we have no idea what preparations the opponent has made or what traps they have set in the passage. Besides, the most important thing now is your safety, Xia Jiang."

As he spoke, he closed the secret door, making sure it blended into the wall, then turned around and prepared to take Hatamoto Natsue back to the other's room.

"Um……"

Hatamoto Xiajiang nodded gently, and had no objection to Bai Ye's arrangement. After all, the safest way was to ensure one's own safety first, and then make other plans.

However, just as she turned around and prepared to go back with Bai Ye, suddenly, a secret door opened on the wall next to her, and then a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, as if some weapon was coming with the wind.

"Xia Jiang, be careful!"

Bai Ye's reaction was as fast as lightning. He quickly pulled Hatamoto Xiajiang behind him and at the same time dodged to the side. A cold light passed dangerously along his clothes.

The figure of the attacker who jumped out of the secret door next to him appeared from the darkness. He was dressed in black, with a mask covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes, and holding a dagger-like weapon in his hand.

After the first attack failed, the man in black seemed not to give up and waved the dagger in his hand again, stabbing towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye's eyes flashed, he quickly raised his arm and accurately blocked the attack with the iron rod he had prepared in advance. The crisp sound of metal collision was particularly harsh in the silent passage.

Hiding behind Bai Ye, Hatamoto Natsue, who was frightened by the sudden change, looked at the thrilling scene with horror. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands, fearing that any sound she made would disturb Bai Ye.

Hatamoto Natsue watched the battle nervously, her heart beating faster and her palms sweating.

She wanted to help, but she didn't know how.

I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that Bai Ye can defeat his opponent.

While Bai Ye was engaged in a desperate battle with the man in black, he lowered his voice and hurriedly shouted to Hatamoto Xia Jiang: "Xia Jiang, find a safe place to hide first!"

Hatamoto Natsue was a little hesitant. She didn't want to leave Bai Ye, but she knew that if she stayed here she would only become a burden to Bai Ye, and might even distract him and put him in greater danger.

Just when she hesitated, the man in black suddenly changed the direction of his attack, abandoned Bai Ye, and pounced towards Hatamoto Xia Jiang.

Bai Ye couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. He immediately rushed forward regardless of everything and blocked the attack of the black shadow with his body. The dagger pierced his body fiercely. For a moment, blood gushed out like a spring, quickly dyeing his clothes red.

Bai Ye gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain. In the brief pause of the black-clothed man's attack, he suddenly kicked the black-clothed man in the abdomen.

Under such an attack, the man in black groaned and couldn't help but stagger back several steps like a kite with a broken string.

Covering his abdomen, the man in black opened his eyes wide and glared at Bai Ye fiercely. His eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent, as if he wanted to eat Bai Ye alive.

However, it seemed that he had achieved a certain goal, or he realized that Bai Ye was difficult to deal with in this confrontation and was worried that continuing to fight would be disadvantageous to him, or he had other urgent matters to deal with. The man in black took a deep look at the hatamoto Xia Jiang who was protected by Bai Ye behind him, and then he stopped fighting, turned around quickly, and ran towards the depths of the passage...

Seeing the man in black running away, Bai Ye was about to chase him, but it seemed that he was too badly injured. As soon as he raised his foot, his body began to sway slightly uncontrollably like a candle in the wind.

"Bai Ye-jun, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Hatamoto Natsue hurried over, stepped forward to support him, his eyes full of worry.

When she helped him, she realized that Bai Ye had been stabbed by the man in black in order to protect her. The blood not only dyed Bai Ye's clothes red, but also dyed her hands red. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel anxious and distressed. Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice couldn't help but be sobbing.

She hurriedly tore off a corner of her skirt and tried to bandage Bai Ye's wound in a haphazard manner.

Bai Ye gently waved his hands, indicating that he could still hold on, but there was a hint of fatigue in his voice, "I'm fine, Xia Jiang."

"but……"

Bai Ye gritted his teeth, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, but he still stared stubbornly in the direction where the man in black was going away, and said: "We can't let him get away like this, otherwise, he will definitely find a chance to attack you, Xia Jiang!"

After saying that, he was ready to take a step to chase after her, but unfortunately, it seemed that due to the blood loss, his body was completely out of control, and he had to lean on Hatamoto Xiajiang to avoid falling.

"No...no way!"

Looking at Bai Ye's shaky body and the clothes stained with blood, Hatamoto Xia Jiang finally couldn't hold back her tears. Her hands trembled and her voice choked: "Bai Ye-kun, I can't let you take risks alone!"

Bai Ye’s top priority at this moment is to treat his wounds, not to chase the enemy.

As for that man in black?

The man in black is on the boat, it's never too late to deal with him.

But Bai Ye was seriously injured because of her. If the other party had made any mistake during the pursuit, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Bai Ye shook his head slightly. Although his face was as pale as paper, he still forced a smile and comforted him: "Xia Jiang, don't worry, this little injury is nothing!"

As a member of the Black Organization, he had suffered even more serious injuries. To him, these minor injuries were nothing.

In other words, if it weren't for the self-torture tactic, the man in black would not have had the chance to get close to him, let alone hurt him!
Moreover, even if the other party hurt him, it was a minor injury that he could control and was not as serious as it seemed.

——At most, he bled a little, making the injury look quite miserable, but in fact, it was not that serious at all. In fact, with his current recovery ability, if he didn't try hard to suppress it, the wound might have healed completely within a few seconds.

After all, it was impossible for him to put his life in danger just to win the favor of Hatamoto Natsue.

Hatamoto Natsue bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her brows were tightly knitted, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her usual gentleness and calmness were now replaced by anxiety and worry.

do not worry?
Bai Ye was injured like this and bleeding so much, how could she not worry!

"No, your injuries...we must take care of your injuries first! We can talk about the pursuit later."

Her voice was trembling, but her tone and attitude were particularly firm, "There is a medical kit in my room, I'll take you to get bandaged right away!"

No matter what she said today, she would not let Bai Ye continue to take risks!
Bai Ye wanted to refute, but seeing the determined look in Hatamoto Xiajiang's eyes, he knew that the other party would not give in on this point, so he nodded and chose to give in: "Okay, Xiajiang, you are right, then let's go back to your room first."

"Um……"

Hatamoto Xiajiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, carefully supported Bai Ye, and walked towards his room...
