Ma Chao poured himself some water from the thermos. He hadn't eaten enough, so he had to use water to fill the gaps in his diet.
What are you thinking about? Don't say anything.
Fu Yi put the pillow on the bedside table and then lay down. "I was just thinking that this journey has been too smooth. I never thought it would be this easy. If I had known, I would have just finished the mission back then."
Ma Chao couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "We know all your secrets. Now we just need to catch the big bastard, otherwise who's going to play games with you?"
But he couldn't say that out loud. "Isn't it better to go smoothly? This way, we can finish sooner and go home sooner. My wife and kids are waiting for me!"
This casual remark made Fu Yi lower his guard. He thought that although there were many coincidences, there was no need for him to put on an act.
“I have the contact information in this pocket watch. We’ll meet with them tomorrow, get the data, and the mission will be complete. When I get my funding, I’ll give you half. If it weren’t for you, I would have died in that courtyard.”
Ma Chao, like a lackey, ran over to him and massaged his legs. "I'm relieved to hear you say that. As long as there's meat to eat, I'll do anything."
Fu Yi smiled happily, feeling that his good days were just around the corner.

When Gu Lingxiao saw that Zhou An'an had returned, he went to Qian Laifu's room and knocked gently on the door. When the door opened...
Seeing that Xiao Feng, who had gone to keep watch, had returned, he asked directly,
"how's it going?"
Xiao Feng stood up and replied, "They are staying at the Southwest Road Guesthouse. I came back specifically to report this."
Gu Lingxiao: "Okay, I understand. You can go back now!"
Xiao Feng picked up the hat and put it on. "Captain Gu, what's the next step?"
Gu Lingxiao said, "You should follow them and play it by ear. I'll go back and meet up with you tomorrow morning."
Xiao Feng nodded to indicate that he understood, then opened the door and left, closing it behind him.
Only the two of them remained in the room.
Qian Laifu looked over with a resentful gaze, "Captain, have you eaten?"
Gu Lingxiao: "I've already eaten, have you eaten?"
Qian Laifu deflated like a punctured balloon. "I ate some steamed buns."
Gu Lingxiao: "That's fine. I'm going back to my room now. Knock on the door if you need anything."
Qian Laifu cursed inwardly for prioritizing women over friends, then lay back down on the bed. If he didn't rest now, he wouldn't even have a place to rest when he was tired.
Gu Lingxiao specially arranged for his room to be next to Lu Zhixia's room so that it would be convenient for him to go back and forth.
They were practically reunited after a short separation. He touched his nose with his right hand; although they weren't married yet, he felt it would happen soon.
I went back inside and lay down on the bed, listening to the chattering laughter from next door.
It seems they're getting along even better than before.
Zhou An'an put her hand on Lu Zhixia's shoulder and said, "You two are amazing. It's fate that brought you together like this."
Lu Zhixia said, "Indeed, I didn't expect it either. It was the group of children we rescued on the street that day, the one I was talking to."
Zhou An'an immediately remembered, "As the old saying goes, good deeds bring good rewards, isn't that exactly what you guys are talking about?"
A knock sounded at the door, and Zhou An'an opened it to see the waiter.
"Comrade, someone downstairs is looking for you again." The waiter said irritably, "Why do you keep getting people looking for you? Several a day."
Lu Zhixia quickly said kindly, "Thank you so much. I was in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation." She took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the waiter's hand.
"You can take this back and share it!"
Seeing that it was White Rabbit milk candy, which was hard to buy, the waiter finally smiled and said, "This is all part of my job. Alright, you can go downstairs now. If there are a lot of people looking for you, you might as well stay downstairs and save us from having to make multiple trips!"
Lu Zhixia nodded to indicate that she understood. After watching the waiter walk away, she closed the door and spoke to Zhou An'an.
"Someone else has sent a message. I'll go see what's going on."
Zhou An'an stood up and stretched. "I'll go with you."
Lu Zhixia thought about how exhausted she had been these past two days and said, "It's okay, I can go downstairs by myself."
Zhou An'an: "Oh right, how could I forget? Didn't your boyfriend come? Let him go with you. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while. I've been talking too much these past few days, and my throat feels like it's on fire."
Lu Zhixia said, "Okay, you rest in the room, I'll go find him."
Zhou An'an then lay back down, subconsciously rubbing her legs. She had originally planned to come here to have some fun, but she ended up being busy, even more tired than when she was working. However, she enjoyed it!
Lu Zhixia went to the next room and knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and she saw that the man had changed his clothes. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, which made his legs look long and straight.
I was stunned, and only after the person was pulled back into the house did I react and push them away.
"I came to see you about something."
"I know, let me hold you for a bit first." Gu Lingxiao opened his arms and hugged him.
