Upon hearing the words "killing machine," Fu Huaijin frowned deeply and warned him coldly, "She is my wife. Don't even think about making a move on her."

The man looked surprised; he hadn't expected Fu Huaijin to be married.

He looked at Su Yuxi again, feeling deeply disappointed.

What a promising talent! Why did she have to get married? And to make matters worse, she married Fu Huaijin, leaving him no chance to snatch her away.

Su Yuxi handed the gun to him and chuckled, "I hit sixty targets in total, so does that mean you have to give me six million?"

Fu Huaijin tossed the gun to the gun boy behind him: "Okay, I'll give it to you later."

The promise to give her money was just meant to motivate her and see her limits, and she lived up to expectations, easily taking the six million.

"Let's go." Originally, the plan was to have her participate in special training, but given her current performance, there's no need to waste any more time.

"I'll have someone prepare two guns for you. Remember to take them with you when you go out. If you encounter any danger, don't hesitate, just shoot. You only need to ensure your own safety, and leave the rest to me."

Su Yuxi was slightly surprised: "Oh, isn't that a bad idea? If you hit someone's heart, they'll die."

Firearms are prohibited in China, and even if they are legal abroad, you can't just shoot someone dead.

Fu Huaijin paused, thinking that it made sense. She was just a simple-minded girl. Making her kill people with her own hands and face these disgusting and bloody things might become a nightmare that haunted her for the rest of her life. This matter had to be handled step by step.

"Then hit their hands and feet. As long as it doesn't pose a threat to you, it's fine."

But has he forgotten that the girl he wanted to protect recently watched more than a dozen people die in front of her without him even noticing?

Su Yuxi nodded. That's fine. As long as people don't offend me, I won't offend them.

After returning home, Fu Huaijin resolved his worries and then got back to work.

For three days in a row, he left early and returned late. When Su Yuxi woke up in the morning, he had already left, and he would only return after she had fallen asleep.

The only way she knew he was coming back was when, in a half-dream, half-awake state, a warm embrace held her tightly.

When Su Yuxi woke up this morning, the bed next to her was still warm, but when she asked, the person next to her had already left.

This time, she also had her bodyguard leave her a message: Fu Huaijin told her to stay at home and not to wander around unless necessary. Even if she went out, she should take her bodyguard with her. He estimated that she would not be back for a few days.

Su Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. Although Fu Huaijin had been busy these past few days, he had still made sure to keep an eye on her.

She sneaked out several times, only to be intercepted and brought back halfway, which annoyed her greatly.

Now that Fu Huaijin is busy with his own affairs, I can go out without any restrictions.

Su Yuxi left with several bodyguards that noon.

It's still the same riverbank.

The already faint scent had vanished completely. She had a boat brought over and crossed to the other side of the river. Perhaps because too much time had passed, or perhaps because it had rained, there were no clues at all.

Su Yuxi was somewhat disappointed. She should have been more decisive and crossed the river to search directly. Now, she had no clues at all.

She wandered around the city a few more times, but still found nothing, and finally had to return home disappointed.

Fu Huaijin did not return that night, and she tossed and turned in bed alone, unable to sleep.

First, she couldn't find any trace of Ah Zu during the day; second, she suddenly became worried about Fu Huaijin's safety outside. These two worries intertwined in her mind, making it even harder to fall asleep.

But then I thought, with so many people protecting Fu Huaijin, there shouldn't be any problems.

And so she spent three or five drowsy days and nights alone, wallowing in self-pity.

Fu Huaijin would send her messages at irregular intervals every day, his words filled with unwavering care, which made her feel less worried.

Su Yuxi still went out and wandered around every day, but she could no longer find any trace of Azu.

Tonight, she lay in bed and slept under the covers as usual.

In the middle of the night, Su Yuxi suddenly felt hot. In her drowsy state, she kicked off the blanket and lowered the air conditioner temperature to sixteen degrees with her eyes closed, but her body temperature did not drop; instead, it continued to rise.

The intense heat made it impossible for her to fall asleep, so she got out of bed, wiped the sweat off her neck, and shook it off. Her clothes were soaked through, and even the spot where she had been sleeping was drenched in sweat. It wasn't just sweating; it was as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

Su Yuxi got out of bed in frustration and walked to the air conditioner vent to see if it was broken. The display showed 16 degrees Celsius and it was blowing out cold air, so why was she sweating so much?

She put her hands on her hips and looked at the bed, which was soaked with sweat. Could it be that she had accidentally turned the air conditioner on heating instead of cooling it before going to bed?

Unable to find a solution, she sighed in frustration, turned around and went to the closet to take out another set of pajamas. She walked into the bathroom grumbling and washed her hair and took a shower. By the time she was almost done, it was already five in the morning.

Too lazy to change the blankets, she lay down on Fu Huaijin's side and dozed off for a while.

It was already noon when I got up.

Fu Huaijin hasn't messaged her since last night. She sent him several messages, but didn't get a reply. He's probably really busy.

The maid prepared food for her as usual, including both Chinese and Western dishes. This was specially ordered by Fu Huaijin so that she would eat more.

Su Yuxi looked at the delicious-looking food but had no appetite. She only ate a few slices of salad and didn't touch the rest before asking someone to take it away.

Before long, a nutritionist and a chef appeared in front of her.

If the host hasn't touched their food, there must be something wrong with it. This would be a major setback for their culinary career, so naturally they would come over and find out what happened in order to better serve their host.

Su Yuxi lay lazily on the sofa, randomly pressing buttons on the remote control.

Fu Huaijin doesn't take her with him anymore, and she's not familiar with the area. She's also found nothing about Azu, so she wants to go back to China.

"Madam, I am Evan, in charge of your meals. I noticed you haven't eaten much today. Is it because the food is not to your liking?"

Su Yuxi glanced at them lightly and said calmly, "No problem, I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."

The two men exchanged a glance: "Madam is not feeling well. Should we call a doctor to come and take a look?"

Su Yuxi shook her head, her reply weak and listless: "No."

"Go away, go away, don't bother me."

The two were asking questions, while the chef went back to preparing some appetizers.

The family doctor did come over, but Su Yuxi refused to be examined. She felt that she might be suffering from acclimatization issues and would be fine after resting for a couple of days.

Fu Huaijin called that evening via video.

The place where he was was darker than the light source; only the light reflected from his phone shone on his face.

Looking at that familiar face, even though it had only been a few days since they last met, for some reason, a strange sense of grievance welled up in her heart the moment their eyes met, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

"When will you be back?"
