Finally, thinking it over, Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Let's wait and see. Hopefully, they won't mess with me."
Zhu Chanji and Dugu Baitian said nothing more at his words. Then, the two continued chatting with Xiao Zheng for a while longer before Xiao Zheng took his leave. Zhu Chanji asked Dugu Baitian to see Xiao Zheng off.
On the way, Dugu Baitian looked at Xiao Zheng seriously and said, "Are you really not going to cooperate with us? The Demon Shield Bureau isn't a peaceful force; they definitely won't let you off."
Xiao Zheng's face bore a hint of arrogance as he said, "If they really mess with me, then I guess I'll have to fight back!"
Dugu Baitian said, "I somewhat look forward to that moment, but I also hope it doesn't happen."
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and left Futu Base without replying.
...
In the following days, Xiao Zheng stayed inside the villa and didn't let Leng Ruobing or Chu Xiaoran go out. It was too dangerous to go out right now.
