Chapter 2892 — Little Seven and Little Nine
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Ah, you ran into Wei Zhao again? Did he help you this time too?" Little Nine breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yang Qiqi's escape from danger this time had a great deal to do with Wei Zhao!
"Yes. By the way, Little Nine, do you know who Wei Zhao is?" Yang Qiqi asked, agitated and excited.
"Who is he..." Little Nine's heart stirred, but she asked anyway.
"He's Brother A'yi! He's actually Brother A'yi! Little Nine, do you know? I used to foolishly want to kill him, but I never imagined he was Brother A'yi..." Yang Qiqi's voice had changed pitch.
"Ah, you know?" Little Nine asked instinctively.
"Yes... Hm? Little Nine, do you know something?" Hearing Little Nine's words, and recalling her tone earlier, Yang Qiqi realized that Little Nine seemed to have known all along that Wei Zhao was Brother A'yi?
"I..." Little Nine was at a loss for words, only then realizing she had let something slip.
"Little Nine, you knew all along, didn't you? You've been hiding it from me all this time?" Yang Qiqi's eyes went wide. She could not believe Little Nine had kept it from her. For Little Nine's sake she had crossed mountains and rivers, been willing to give up her very life—and yet Little Nine had deceived her?!
Yang Qiqi knew, of course, that Little Nine also held feelings for Brother A'yi in her heart, but Yang Qiqi had never been jealous. She had always treated Little Nine as her closest sister—and yet Little Nine had actually...
"Seventh Sister, I didn't mean to hide it..." Little Nine said weakly. "Before, I wasn't sure Wei Zhao was Brother A'yi either. I only learned his name was Wei Zhao after checking the name registered to Brother A'yi's phone number, but I didn't know whether the Wei Zhao you spoke of was this same Wei Zhao... Besides, Madam Zhou said that the information I'm in charge of must not be disclosed at will..."
"I see. All right then..." Hearing that it was Madam Zhou's requirement, Yang Qiqi naturally had no objection left. The information Little Nine handled was off-limits—members other than those on outside missions could not query it freely without authorization, Yang Qiqi herself included, so it was only reasonable that Little Nine would not speak of it.
Yang Qiqi had grown up in this clan of strict rules, so she did not think there was anything wrong with what Little Nine had done.
Although Madam Zhou was not Yang Qiqi's birth mother, she was another of her father's wives, and likewise one of the instructors for these assassins, responsible for training in computer hacking. Yang Qiqi thus held her in the utmost respect, and naturally would not complain about anything she had decreed.
"I'm sorry, Seventh Sister..." Little Nine was somewhat embarrassed too. She had already been fairly certain before that the Wei Zhao Yang Qiqi had met was Brother A'yi, since she and Wei Zhao still kept in touch from time to time, but bound by the organization's rules, she had no way to speak of it on her own initiative. Now that Yang Qiqi had asked, in theory she should not have answered either—but her bond with Yang Qiqi ran deep, and at this point she would sooner be scolded by Madam Zhou than keep hiding it any longer.
