Before Li Yeqi left the mountain stronghold, he had bombs planted. Shortly after their grand departure, the stronghold was hit by a series of explosions, and this notorious drug den that had stood for nearly a century was completely leveled by him.
Li Yeqi returned to Phnom Penh City. Bai Xiao's surgery was already completed by the time he visited him in the hospital room. Bai Xiao was awake and recovering well. Li Yeqi stood by the bedside and said, "The stronghold has been destroyed by us, and your mission is over. I've arranged for someone to escort you back to the Imperial Capital."
Having just undergone surgery, Bai Xiao was somewhat weakened. He asked, "Are you going to Europe alone?"
"Your identity has been mostly exposed. Going back to the country is the best decision for you. As for me, my mission is not over. I'm leaving for Europe tonight."
