Louise always maintained her charming smile, and Robert's opening words made the smile on her lips deepen.

"Dear," Louise said in fluent English, "We all want to capture Ji Yao alive. This is our common goal, but it is difficult."

"The difficulty you're talking about is getting her out of Atlanta alive."

Louise smiled and said: "If it's dead, does it still count as being captured alive?"

"What was the purpose of taking her to Atlanta?"

Louise asked back: "I'm sorry, what is your intention with this question?"

Qian Xuezhi also smiled: "Miss Louise, the purpose of bringing Wei Yan to Atlanta is for Mr. Miles. But if this purpose can be achieved in China, why should we bother?"

The smile on Louise's lips slowly disappeared, and her eyes became serious.

"My original plan was to build a sheepfold in Pucheng." Qian Xuezhi said.

"Pucheng," Louise repeated softly, "sheepfold."

"Ah."

Louise was silent for a while, then turned to look at Mu Qiu.

"I think it's feasible." Mu Qiu said.

Louise raised her eyebrows, looked back at Qian Xuezhi, and suddenly said, "I'm very curious about something."

"what's up?"

"Leng Xinyue," Louise said, "What role do you play in Leng Xinyue's matter?"

Qian Xuezhi pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Didn't I say that? I'm curious," Louise looked at him, "In other words, what purpose do you want to use Leng Xinyue to achieve?"

"It's also a sheep," Qian Xuezhi said with a smile, "Just like your Jessica."

Louise was stunned: "Mine, Jessica?"

Mu Qiu's voice was relatively soft: "Louise, Jessica has become a sheep."

This sentence surprised Louise. It was rare for her to have such a look on her face. After looking at Mu Qiu, she looked back at Qian Xuezhi's face.

"Indeed," Qian Xuezhi said calmly, "You don't want her to get in the way by your side, right?"

Louise curled her lips: "You are free to do whatever you want, so Leng Xinyue is also your sheep?"

"She is not only my sheep, but also a chess piece that I can use at any time."

"A chess piece?" Louise blinked her bright eyes, "If I remember correctly, Leng Xinyue has completely lost her freedom now. She is an imprisoned chess piece?"

"My people are always watching her," Qian Zhixue said with a very confident smile, "You don't have to worry, and the value of a chess piece may not be that it can be used. We Chinese people never focus on our hands when playing chess. This chess piece is about making this chess piece play more roles.”

Louise looked at his smile, and her expression was no longer relaxed, but a bit serious: "Then, I look forward to seeing a master playing chess in the future."

"It will be as you wish," Qian Zhixue picked up the coffee at hand and raised it to Louise from a distance, "Just treat it as a glass of red wine."

"Cheers." Louise also raised the coffee at her hand gracefully.

After leaving for the city, the carriage was quiet for a long time.

When they entered a tunnel, Mu Qiu said: "You saw Robert, whom you miss so much. Why is your reaction so dull?"

"Disappointed," Louise said, looking at the wipers in front of the windshield.

"Disappointed?" Mu Qiu was curious. "Why do you say that?"

"You didn't say it directly, but I guess there was something wrong with the sheepfold?" Louise's smile turned sarcastic.

Mu Qiu looked at her and smiled: "Wendy, there is a reason why you are liked by Mr. Miles."

Unexpectedly, his words made Louise's smile freeze, and the sarcasm on her lips suddenly turned into bitterness.

"I hope," Louise said lightly, "I hope Mr. Miles still likes me."
