Qu Jian'er dodged the attacks with ease.

But their unrestrained shooting damaged the hotel's fire pump.

The next moment.

Countless dark figures burst forth from the water, their marksmanship ruthless, attempting to strike Qu Jian'er's vitals.

Just as Qu Jian'er was about to cast the spell.

A gust of wind swept past her.

Zuo Chen acted without hesitation.

He attacked every vital point he could find, and the people he defeated were all grimacing and grimacing. Their grotesque expressions could easily become viral memes.

Zuo Chen has a human appearance.

Their methods, however, are no less ruthless than those of demons.

Everyone was alarmed, as they had received news that Zuo Chen's mental energy was becoming even more chaotic.

It is highly likely that it will unintentionally harm innocent people.

so.

As right-wing radicals, they risked their lives, disguised themselves as assassins, and attempted to kill Zuo Chen in order to prevent the danger from erupting.

But the man before them showed absolutely no signs of mental confusion. He treated them like a joke!

Zuo Chen coldly stared at the person on the ground, a murderous ferocity slowly spreading in his eyes.

It brewed into a void of pitch black.

It seemed that these people were nothing more than insignificant ants under his feet, whose lives he could take with a flick of his wrist.

It's not worth mentioning at all.

Qu Jian'er blinked.

She had always known that Zuo Chen was very capable, but this was the first time she had ever seen him personally take action.

She had originally intended to use Zuo Chen to gain access to the Gu family's attention, but now she could only lament that the path of a bodyguard was not easy.

As she shook her head and sighed.

After leaving the assassin on the ground with incurable severe injuries, Zuo Chen actually took her left hand.

They ran in the opposite direction from the assassin.

Qu Jian'er's long skirt fluttered in the wind. Once upon a time, she was the one who chased after people and beat them up.

Now, however, I'm experiencing the taste of "escape".

Water then sprayed out from one side of the fire pump.

The silvery threads of water were blown askew by the corridor breeze, scattering onto their heads, faces, and bodies.

The two arrived at the quiet, deserted rooftop.

The dazzling sunlight instantly came into view.

Zuo Chen had already let go of the small hand he was holding, but the warm touch seemed to still linger in his palm.

It made his Adam's apple slide up and down involuntarily.

Qu Jian'er casually remarked, "Why don't we use the elevator? We ran up here to burn calories."

Zuo Chen paused.

After finishing the run, he also noticed something strange.

Zuo Chen cleared his throat and casually changed the subject: "Um, what brings you to Blue Star?"

Qu Jian'er didn't offer much explanation.

She only told Zuo Chen that she needed to meet the Gu family in person.

Then, Zuo Chen understood.

Zuo Chen thought for a moment: "Zhijing is having a celebration banquet tomorrow, you can come with me, I happen to be short of someone..."

Qu Jian'er clapped her hands and patted her chest to assure them, "We need bodyguards, right? Don't worry, I'm good at that."

Zuo Chen pursed his lips and remained silent. His original intention was to have Qu Jian'er be his female companion at the event.

Since the person in front of him greatly appreciated the bodyguard position, he didn't say anything more.

To put it simply, Zuo Zhijing is the eldest son of the second branch of the Zuo family and Zuo Jing's older brother.

After many years of marriage, Zuo Zhijing finally had a child. When the hospital found out that the baby was three weeks pregnant, he was overjoyed and wanted to hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends.

I just finished explaining.

He received only a tsk-tsk and a shake of the head from Qu Jian'er.

Zuo Chen pursed his lips: "???"

Qu Jian'er sighed: "Did you hear that?"

Zuo Chen asked, puzzled, "What?"

Qu Jian'er, with his hands behind his back, said with feigned concern, "The sound of frogs croaking."

Zuo Chen fell silent: "..."

Qu Jian'er shook her head: "Those younger than you are all married and have children, but you are still all alone."

Her unusually melancholy tone sounded just like that of an elderly mother concerned about the private lives of her juniors.

Zuo Chen was extremely helpless.

He never intended to find a partner.

Knowing he wouldn't live long and not wanting to hold others back, he refused the government's marriage allocation.

Most importantly, he doesn't want to find someone to disrupt his long-standing single life.

But after hearing the teasing from Qu Jian'er, Zuo Chen strangely had the idea of ​​finding someone.

Find someone who is like the people around you.

The idea came to mind as soon as it appeared.

Zuo Chen was stunned.

How could he have such thoughts? He and Qu Jian'er are like-minded friends!

If he were to become his wife, it would mean losing his friends, but he doesn't seem to lack friends...

He was filled with countless thoughts.

So much so that no shouts were heard.

Qu Jian'er called for the third time to no avail, then patted Zuo Chen's arm: "Are you really upset?"

Zuo Chen paused in his head-shaking motion.

A tingling sensation shot through his right arm, reaching his brain and sending a jolt through him.

It was just a perfectly normal touch.

He actually had some filthy thoughts.

He wanted to stare intently at Qu Jian'er, to devour her completely, leaving no trace of her.

Zuo Chen closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.

He guessed he might be sick.

He was probably too tired.

To prevent the bizarre thoughts from continuing, he changed the subject again, and just then remembered Qi Yin.

Qu Jian'er then remembered there was one more person: "Oh no, I forgot about him."

Zuo Chen pursed his lips. He had no right to criticize Qu Jian'er, because he had also forgotten about her...

***

Right now.

Qi Yin, who was unable to move on Jiang Yiya's shoulder, was on the verge of tears. He was a grown man, and he had been carried on someone's shoulder all night. He felt like dying.
