Chapter 1597: It's No Longer Just One Person's Affair

Xu Xiaoxiao was fired up.

But Qin Yiyan could not help but remind her: "The background of that website is not very clean; you must be careful in how you act."

Not very clean...

This sentence made Xu Xiaoxiao calm down at once.

She asked: "What do you mean? Will there be danger?"

Qin Yiyan was just about to speak when he noticed Jiang Chenghao signaling to him with his eyes.

He understood what Jiang Chenghao meant.

Immediately, Qin Yiyan put away the thought of giving specific examples and instead said vaguely:

"This Organization is a mixed bag; the methods they can use are also not meant for the light of day. Being careful will never be a mistake."

Although Qin Yiyan had already restrained himself, Xu Xiaoxiao still heard it with a pounding heart!

She looked up at Jiang Chenghao and changed her tune: "Let's just stop; don't get caught up in danger for the sake of a small matter!"

Jiang Chenghao and Li Beijue had already set the trap.

How could they stop?

But he did not want to make Xu Xiaoxiao worry, so he comforted her: "When a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push. Now that many people have already reported them, do you think they can manage to retaliate against everyone?"

"But..."

"Besides, we have hidden identities; we won't be foolish enough to confront them head-on."

"Then..."

"Neither Li Beijue nor I are greenhorns fresh out of the gate; we know how to protect ourselves, so you can rest assured."

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly and said nothing more.

She just stared at the man in front of her with a resentful look.

Seeing her little expression, Jiang Chenghao could not help but ask with amusement: "Why aren't you talking?"

"You wouldn't even let me finish what I was saying, what else am I supposed to say!"

Listening to this tone, it actually carried a bit of grievance.

Jiang Chenghao had not intended to interrupt Xu Xiaoxiao's words just now.

He was just anxious and wanted to tell her his thoughts quickly so she wouldn't worry.

But he hadn't expected...

Jiang Chenghao rubbed his nose and smiled: "It was my rudeness, I apologize. Now I won't speak; you go ahead."

"Since you've already made up your mind, what else is there for me to say."

Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head away, her face filled with gloom.

But there was more worry than anything else.

Liu Xin'ai had not expected the pleasant atmosphere of their chat to turn into this.

She first gave Qin Yiyan a reproachful look, then explained: "Yiyan was just giving a reminder; it doesn't necessarily mean danger will happen."

After speaking, Liu Xin'ai nudged Qin Yiyan, signaling for him to say something too.

Qin Yiyan received the hint and hurriedly said: "Exactly, and there are so many of us here; even if they want to make a move, we'll be the ones to strike first!"

Her friends' comfort was very thoughtful.

But Xu Xiaoxiao... she didn't want everyone to rack their brains for her sake, or even risk danger!

Clenching her palm slightly, Xu Xiaoxiao murmured: "The matter has already passed, otherwise..."

Before Xu Xiaoxiao could finish her sentence, she felt her hand being gripped.

Liu Xin'ai's palm was very warm, and Xu Xiaoxiao looked up.

Then she heard her say: "This is no longer just your own affair! Because of this Organization, how many outstanding scholars have had mud slung at them, their bright futures dimmed! Once we have the chance, we must suppress this unhealthy trend and restore clarity to the academic world!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's mood was very low.

Hearing her friend's impassioned words, her eyes were dazed for a moment.

But soon, a strange brilliance ignited within them!

Qin Yiyan also said: "Now, some public welfare organizations are also joining the condemnation, and the authorities are paying attention too."

As long as the situation blows up and the attention grows, more forces will join in.

In this way, they can crush this Organization with the force of a falling mountain!

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was no longer indecisive like she was just now, nor did she mention stopping the activities.

She took a deep breath and looked up, saying: "It was my vision that was short-sighted."

Liu Xin'ai patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "You, you're just worried because you care."

"But being careful is never wrong; we should all keep our guard up."

"Mm, that's right."

As Liu Xin'ai's voice fell, she sniffed and murmured, "What is that smell? It's so sweet."

Just then, Sister Zhang walked over carrying a glass pitcher.

She smiled: "I brewed some fruit tea; it's delicious and can help reduce internal heat. You've all been exhausted lately, drink a few more cups!"

While speaking, Sister Zhang placed the glass pitcher on the table and poured a cup for everyone.

Liu Xin'ai took a cup, took a sip, and nodded in praise: "It's really good, fragrant and tasty, and there's the flavor of honey."

As she finished speaking, Liu Xin'ai didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

Xu Xiaoxiao saw her smile and asked curiously: "What is it? Did you think of something happy?"

"Mm, Baobao has been collecting recipes for fruit tea lately; later, we can give her Sister Zhang's recipe."

"That's fine, but is there anything funny about that?"

Liu Xin'ai looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a smile: "If you knew why she was making fruit tea, you wouldn't ask that."

Sensing there was more to the story, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly urged: "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly!"

"It's just... Baobao wants to help Li Beijue arrange a health-conscious gathering."

Huh?

A health-conscious gathering?

Xu Xiaoxiao was confused, not understanding the logic behind it.

Liu Xin'ai knew she wouldn't understand, so she told her about Li Beijue going to a bar to drink and being caught by Jiang Baobao.

Now that Li Beijue's friends were asking him to treat them again, Jiang Baobao was worried, so she took the initiative to help arrange it.

As for the content of the arrangement, it certainly couldn't involve alcohol.

And since they were the hosts, it couldn't be too shabby either.

So Jiang Baobao arranged various nourishing items, each one more precious than the last.

But since they were all highly nourishing, they could easily cause internal heat, so Jiang Baobao wanted to prepare light, refreshing desserts and tea snacks.

And this fruit tea was naturally indispensable.

After hearing this explanation, Xu Xiaoxiao was a bit dumbfounded.

Then she muttered: "So, they went straight from a wild party at a hotel to a middle-aged man's health-conscious gathering?"

Middle-aged man?

After hearing this, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but laugh: "Your description is a bit stinging."

"Hmm... it's a bit of an exaggeration, but when it comes to health, it's better early than late."

"Heh, I hope Li Beijue can have the same realization and appreciate Baobao's painstaking efforts."

As a woman herself, Liu Xin'ai particularly understood Jiang Baobao.

However, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but complain to Jiang Chenghao: "See that? This is a cautionary tale."

Anyway, he had seen it clearly: in the future, he must absolutely not go to places his wife forbids.

Otherwise, there would be no good fruit to eat!

Hearing this muttering, Liu Xin'ai turned her head and retorted: "Li Beijue's physical examination results were poor, which means he must abstain from alcohol. He doesn't take his own body seriously, so shouldn't Baobao be worried?"

Sensing that Liu Xin'ai was a bit emotional, Qin Yiyan immediately sat up straight.

And he said righteously: "There's actually such an inside story? Then Li Beijue is really too much!"

Qin Yiyan's attitude had changed too drastically from before.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao were both stunned!

Afterwards, there was a wave of speechlessness.
