“I’m not threatening you.” Xiao Yao pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, “I do care about you. That’s why I asked you this. And I want to tell you something.”

Qiao Liang who was about to hang up the phone call put the phone to his ear again and asked in a low voice, “What is it?”

“Of course I don’t mean to tell you about Xiao Rou’s privacy, but I think it is necessary to let you know more about her so that you can better protect her.” Xiao Yao said, “Now I may seldom go home because I have missions to perform, so I may not have the time to protect Rourou. I think I should tell you something about her, so that you can be prepared.”

Qiao Liang grew impatient and was about to urge him to speak it out, when Xiao Yao said, “You know I was injured and stayed in hospital not long ago ago.”

Qiao Liang hummed in response, and said, “Xixi was injured too at that time.”

“She was injured because she saved me.” Xiao Yao sounded very guilty.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang frowned and coldly said, “You were injured in the Golden Triangle, weren’t you?”

He heard that Xiao Yao fought violently with the terrorists. His men suffered heavy casualties and the terrorists were completely annihilated. Even the helicopters they took exploded. So how could Xixi go to that battlefield and save Xiao Yao? Besides, it was impossible for Xiao Yao to bring Tang Xi with him when he was on a military mission! Even if he did, how could she, a delicate girl, calmly save a man from that fierce battle? She should thank god if she could get out herself…

“Yes, I was injured in the Golden Triangle, and Rourou did save me.”

“You took Tang Xi to the Golden Triangle?” Qiao Liang was terrified when he thought of the scene. Although he was in Long Beach at that time, he would find out about her whereabouts later anyways. If she couldn’t escape from the Golden Triangle, what would have happened to him…

“No, Rourou was in City A at that time. She didn’t go to the Golden Triangle.”

“Mr. Xiao, are you teasing me? If you have too much time, you can go play games. Don’t disturb me.” Qiao Liang was about to hang up the call, when Xiao Yao hurriedly said, “Rourou who was supposed to be in City A suddenly appeared in front of me from out of nowhere when I was dying. She then saved me, threw Kloss out of the helicopter and killed all the killers that Kloss brought with him.”

“Are you kidding me?” Qiao Liang scowled. He held the phone and said coldly, “How could she suddenly appear in the Golden Triangle since she was in the capital? She broke her ribs after merely being pushed by someone. How could she be as powerful as you said??”

“Not only that. She had destroyed the surveillance videos, brought me to the Lin’an Hospital in the blink of an eye, and operated on me herself.” Xiao Yao said seriously, “If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself or ask Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa had witnessed what I said. We haven’t told anyone about this because we don’t want to cause Xiao Rou any trouble.”

Qiao Liang clenched his hands and then loosened them. He repeated these motions several times and chuckled, saying, “Even if what you said is true, why is Xiao Rou, unlike the Xiao Rou you just described, so delicate?”

“That’s because…” Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said guiltily, “because she used all her strength to save me. She was in a coma for a long time after she saved me. She didn’t wake up until the day before you came back. On the night you both met each other again, we drank in that bar to celebrate the two of us being discharged from hospital.”

Qiao Liang closed his eyes and Xiao Yao continued, “She said that she was a little fairy, so she had these supernatural abilities, and she occupied Xiao Rou’s body after the real Xiao Rou died. She didn’t confess that she was Tang Xi until she met you again. It seems that her abilities have vanished after she saved me. That’s why she is so delicate now, so we should take better care of her.”

Not hearing Qiao Liang’s response, Xiao Yao asked, “Haven’t you found anything strange about her?”

Qiao Liang froze. Yes! He had! When she was shooting that TV commercial, she fell into the water. When the others tried to save her, a swarm of butterflies suddenly appeared and took her out of the water. She was saved by those butterflies! She summoned them! But why could she summon butterflies?

“I guess you must have found something strange about Rourou, since you’ve been with her for so long, right?” Xiao Yao said in a low voice, “Soon you will find more miracles about her. But I guess Rourou will become weak for a long time every time she uses her supernatural abilities, afterwards we have to carefully protect her. Otherwise she might be seriously injured or even killed.”

“Mr. Xiao, are you dreaming? Supernatural abilities?” Qiao Liang sneered and coldly said, “You’re a soldier. How can you say such ridiculous words? Although technology is very developed today, it hasn’t been so developed as to give human beings supernatural abilities! I think you guys must be experiencing an illusion at that time.”

“Okay, even if we were all experiencing the same illusion, can surveillance videos be in an illusion?” Xiao Yao said, “I have a copy of the video and I can send it to you. You can judge yourself whether that girl is Xiao Rou or not!”

“If it’s really Xiao Rou, I hope you can promise me that whenever and wherever she is, you can always protect and take care of her.”

“Haha.” Qiao Liang sneered again, saying coldly, “Why should I promise you? It’s my duty, and a life-long responsibility, to take care of Tang Xi. You’re not in any position to require me to make this promise to you.”

“Okay, I’m glad to hear that.” Xiao Yao paused and continued, “As a soldier, I might injure you when I’m on a mission, but I hope Mr. Qiao will keep your word and keep Xiao Rou from any harm.”

“Xiao Yao.” Qiao Liang said seriously, “No matter what you said to me, the woman I’m with is only Tang Xi in my heart. I don’t care whether she is your sister or not, or whether you take her as your sister. But if you dare hurt her because of your job, I’ll destroy your career! You have my word!”
