Si Kongchen leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Professor Bai has been in a bad mood these days. So, when I suggested doing so, he didn't object. I guess he has no mood to think about this."
"When do you plan to take action?" Wei Haichao asked.
Si Kongchen replied with a scornful look in his eyes, "Let's first wait for the news from underground. I thought Xie Longyun would last longer down there and be helpful, yet she died so soon and wasted that precious drug."
Wei Haichao looked at him as he stayed silent for two seconds and then said, "Weren't you confident in her? How come she failed the job so soon?"
That was like a slap on his face.
Si Kongchen gave him a glance and said, "Reasonably speaking, she wouldn't die so easily even if she failed to kill that woman. She might have encountered some kind of accident, I guess. We don't know what happened down there. Professor Bai has said that humans should not set foot in that place."
