But they had sent them anyway. Yang Shuoxuan had been puzzled at the time—the other side's men were a little too weak. Now that Dong Jun had put it that way, could it really have been because of Alice?
At this thought, Yang Yongjin could not help but feel stirred. To be honest, he was not without feelings for Alice; it was only that back then his guard had been up too high, which had made him a little wary of her. But things were different now—Alice was Dong Jun's sister, and on his own side. Naturally, his former misgivings were gone.
"Haha, Yang Ce, don't tell me you don't like my sister?" Dong Jun saw Yang Xu's expression and could not help but frown. "I'm telling you, little Ai has no shortage of suitors. If you don't go after her, you'll be handing her over to some outsider!"
"Ugh, is that any way to peddle your own sister?" Yang Xutang was left somewhat speechless by Dong Jun's words. "Is she really your sister? Why does it feel like you're selling merchandise?"
"Heh heh…" Dong Jun chuckled. But his vigorous sales pitch had a basis: Alice probably did have real feelings for Yang Ce—maybe not the kind of love she could not tear herself away from, but there was certainly affection there. That was why Dong Jun was pushing so hard to bring them together.
And the most important point of all was that Yang Moyi was capable enough to protect his sister from harm!
Dong Jun had truly been frightened by the days gone by. His fate and his sister's had both been in the hands of Dr. Ban Lin and the Center. Now, at long last, he had caught a glimpse of dawn—and all of it had been accomplished by Yang Ce. Seeing Dr. Ban Lin so stifled and helpless before Yang Ce only hardened Dong Jun's resolve. Letting his sister follow Yang Ce could never end badly, because Yang Ce was simply too powerful!
"All right, actually I do have some feelings for Alice…" Yang Ce simply admitted it. "But is your sister even of age?"
"Of course she's of age—if she weren't, how would she be in university?" Dong Jun was caught between laughter and tears at Yang Cenbin's wildly abrupt question.
"I was just asking." Yang Ce shrugged and smiled.
Two days later, at the entrance of another motel, Yang Ce and Dong Jun received a travel-worn Alice! Since Dr. Ban Lin already knew the identities of Yang Ce and Dong Jun, they no longer needed to disguise themselves. They simply restored their true faces and went to a different motel.
At this moment Alice wore large sunglasses, followed by four burly men—clearly her bodyguards. Yang Ce even recognized one of them; he had seen him once in Europe.
In fact, as long as the steel men and bio-humans in the Center could not get out, Alice had no need to disguise herself at all. Among the forces on the periphery, almost none could do her harm—Alice herself was surrounded by experts as numerous as the clouds!
Alice was one of the Center's larger eyes in the secular world, wielding tremendous power. Back then, Dr. Ban Lin could never have imagined that Alice would turn against him, and it had cost him enormously.
"Hello, little Ai. Long time no see. I've actually gotten rather unused to not being chased by you!" Yang Hengye stepped forward to greet her.
"Big Brother Yang is teasing me again. Little Ai was not her own master before—I hope you can overlook it." Alice smiled a little embarrassedly and politely extended her hand to Yang Ce. "Big Brother Yang won't hold it against little Ai, will he?"
"Hearing you talk to me like a proper lady, I'm really not used to it. I still prefer the old little Ai!" Yang Cenbin's words were actually double-edged—the old little Ai, wasn't that the little Ai who had seduced Yang Juehuan?
Sure enough, Alice was not the least bit slow, and immediately caught Yang Juehuan's meaning. Her face flushed slightly, and she grew a little embarrassed. Although she liked Yang Ce in her heart, at this moment she truly could not bring herself to act as she once had.
