Jin Shu's face was a little gloomy, and my first reaction was that she was unhappy with my sudden departure.

After all, they flew here from Europe specifically to cooperate with us, but I left without even having a meal with them. It was really impolite.

But the matter is too urgent and I really have no other choice.

I apologized to her again, "Boss Jin, I'm sorry for being so inattentive this time. But I really have something urgent to attend to, so I have to leave immediately. You and your assistant can enjoy your meal. I'll treat you to dinner. Once I'm done with my business, I'll definitely find a chance to drink with you and apologize."

After hearing what I said, Jin Shu probably believed that I didn't want to cooperate, so he gave the assistant a wink, and the assistant let me go.

I hurriedly got into the car and told Li Tao to drive according to the location.

I didn't know how to explain Lu Zhiyuan's identity to Li Tao, so I simply said to him, "Li Tao, we are going to a very dangerous place next, and I have to save someone."

Li Tao was a professional bodyguard. He didn't panic at all, and he didn't ask any questions. He just asked me calmly, "Do you need me to call a few more people?"

I shook my head. "No, too many people would only draw attention and alert the enemy more easily."

The bodyguard understood: "Don't worry, miss. No matter what the circumstances, I will do my best to ensure your safety."

"No, the person I want you to protect is not me." I looked at Li Tao and told him word by word, "I want you to protect Lu Zhiyuan for me."

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at me in surprise: "Miss, my duty is to protect your safety."

"Uncle Mingyuan said you must obey my orders. I want you to ensure his safety no matter what happens."

I specifically showed Li Tao Lu Zhiyuan's photo and strongly asked him to obey orders.

Li Tao had no choice but to nod in agreement.

I arrived at the location Yuan Yaxin sent me, which was a villa in the suburbs.

This place is very remote and hard to find. When we arrived here, it was already dark outside.

The suburbs are different from the city. Street lights are only on the main roads, and this villa is not on the roadside.

What's more, there is only this one villa around, so it is pitch black all around, with only the lights on on the second floor of the villa.

I guess Yuan Yaxin should be on the second floor.

I pushed open the car door and got out, looked up at the second floor, then took out my cell phone and called Yuan Yaxin, who answered the call quickly.

I said calmly, "I'm already here."

Yuan Yaxin's figure did not appear at the second-floor window, but she seemed to know everything.

She ordered me coldly: "Tell your driver to leave and come in alone."

Li Tao and I looked at each other, and Li Tao shook his head at me, worried that there was something fishy going on.

I immediately rejected Yuan Yaxin: "You didn't even show your face, how would I know if you were in there? What if you tricked me into going in, and Lu Zhiyuan wasn't there, wouldn't I have been fooled?"

"You are really cautious." Yuan Yaxin said, and the curtains on the second floor were suddenly drawn open.

I subconsciously looked up at the second floor, and my eyes met Yuan Yaxin who was looking at me from the window.

My eyes trembled. She was holding the phone in one hand and holding the towel in front of her chest with the other hand...

My heart trembled and bad thoughts arose in my mind.

I asked in a deep voice: "What did you do to Lu Zhiyuan?!"

Yuan Yaxin smiled charmingly and proudly, "It's such a pity that you didn't want to come in. I didn't intend to do anything to you by asking you to come. I just wanted to share a happy event with you."
