Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming-Chapter 860: The Little Monk

Bai Xiao stood in front of the pagoda-shaped golden stupa, pressing her hands together in earnest prayer.

Shao Ming leaned against the car outside, sulking and smoking, while Zhuo Ma knelt beside Bai Xiao in front of the Buddha statue.

These women must have issues in their heads.

Praying to Buddha at a time like this?

If the Buddha could bless An Zhiyuan to escape danger, then what would they need them for?

Besides, if the Buddha granted every request, this world would probably have a lot fewer hospitals, police, and various other professions.

No wonder they say "long hair, short wit," and get all flustered when a big event hits.

He vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. By this time, night had fallen, and in the dimly lit dusk, the temple was nearly deserted, especially as this was a temple in the mountains. By now, even the monks had gone to eat and rest.

The three of them stood out conspicuously here.

Shao Ming eyed a public telephone not far away; if he wasn’t mistaken, the line of that phone had been out of service for a while.

This meant that the kidnappers’ intended destination was definitely not here.

Otherwise, they would either take action right here, or they were simply fooling around with them for a bit.

His men could only follow from a distance on the road, as getting too close would easily give them away.

Bai Xiao seemed quite carefree in contrast.

All of a sudden, a little bald Monk giggled as he ran over, stopping in front of Bai Xiao.

He pressed his palms together in greeting.

He spouted a long string of Burmese which Bai Xiao did not understand, but Zhuo Ma beside her did.

Zhuo Ma gave the little Monk ten bucks, who immediately pulled out a note from his pocket and handed it to Bai Xiao.

Then he turned and ran back to the dining hall, still giggling, for his meal.

"This little Monk said someone gave him a note to hand to the last female devotee to come pray here. Seeing both of us, he wasn’t sure who to give it to," Zhuo Ma translated carefully.

Bai Xiao unfolded the note.

A smile twitched at her lips; Bai Mei seemed to have gotten smarter now.

"Doctor Bai, what does the note say?"

As her bodyguard, he needed to know the situation right away.

"Let’s go. They’re just playing with us, telling us to head back to Mu Jie now, to a restaurant called ’Old Dark Meat’ on the outskirts for dinner, and wait for their next instruction," Bai Xiao passed the note to Zhuo Ma; there was nothing to hide.

Plainly put, they were just circling around to see if anyone was tracking them and how many were lurking in the shadows.

This was reconnaissance of the enemy.

Quite adept at counter-surveillance.

It looks like Bai Mei learned a lot in the past two years; even things that she had not grasped before.

Suddenly, Bai Xiao realized she had been somewhat complacent; Bai Mei was still too formidable, growing too fast. Given time, Bai Mei might become her strongest opponent, no less formidable than Shang Kaiwen - after all, Shang Kaiwen has her concerns, while Bai Mei has none whatsoever.

The trio got into the car, and Shao Ming spat disdainfully.

"I really didn’t expect your family to produce such a capable person," Shao Ming said as he drove down the mountain path on their return trip.

Since it was all mountain roads, they had to be cautious. If there was a trap set up along the way, it could very well be life-threatening for them.

Of course, unless they didn’t care about the money.

If it were just for revenge, disposing of them in this place would be all too easy.

Just a rockslide or even throwing a bomb could do it, with such a narrow road and cliffs on one side, making escape extremely difficult.

Bai Xiao didn’t care, for Bai Mei would definitely want the money.

Unless she was confident she could not only hurt them but also get the money, otherwise Bai Mei wouldn’t be that foolish.
