Chapter 112 He actually stole a kiss in the middle of the night.
Indeed, the person on the bed was surrounded by infrared rays; if he hadn't been wearing night vision goggles, he wouldn't have been able to see him at all.
He quickly located the infrared emitter, unscrewed it with the blade, and soon the infrared emitter on her left disappeared.
He stood by the bed, his gaze greedily tracing her sleeping face.
He had imagined this face a thousand times; it was beautiful yet stubborn, and when she was asleep, she looked like a child.
The man felt as if a wad of cotton was stuck in his throat, dry and astringent, and the tenderness in his eyes almost melted into water.
He reached out, his fingertips trembling almost imperceptibly, and gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her cheek.
Her hair was soft and carried her unique fragrance.
Then, he leaned down and gently placed a tender kiss on her forehead.
The warm touch sent a shiver down his spine.
"Waaaaaah!"
Suddenly! A piercing alarm blared throughout the villa, loud enough to shatter eardrums! The sound came from downstairs, as if someone had triggered an infrared sensor! Red lights flashed rapidly throughout the room, almost blindingly fast!
Gu Xingnian suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils contracting sharply in shock...
The man in black quickly hid behind the curtains. Sure enough, she wasn't safe; there were other intruders.
The door was suddenly opened, and a man in black rushed in, lunging directly at Gu Xingnian's bed.
"Ah!" Gu Xingnian was so frightened that she jumped off the bed, tripped, and fell backward.
Just as that guy pounced, another figure suddenly emerged from behind the curtains. He grabbed the soft woman with one arm, spun around gracefully, and stabbed a dagger precisely into the black hand. Then he raised his long leg and kicked her hard.
The man let out a muffled cry of pain, clutching his stinging hand, as he was kicked two meters away.
"Let me go!" Gu Xingnian struggled violently in fright. At that moment, she was being held by another man. This man wore an eye patch, was tall, and still smelled of tulips. He had come from the garden.
Are they two groups, one with the man in black in front of us?
Unexpectedly, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips precisely, making a loud "pop" sound!
Gu Xingnian's mind went blank with a "buzz".
The man in black in front of him was clearly stunned by this bizarre move, and seemed a little at a loss. Was this part of the mission?
The door was kicked open again, and three security guards rushed in, immediately attacking another man in black.
The dark figure carrying Gu Xingnian quickly stepped off the balcony, leaped down, and disappeared into the vast night.
A short while later, the man in black in the room was captured, the lights came on, and Gu Xingnian's face was pale; she was still not fully recovered.
"Sister Nian, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Xia Tang quickly stepped forward, placed his hands on her shoulders, and quickly checked her body.
"I...I'm fine." Gu Xingnian was a little at a loss; the impact just now was too great.
Xia Tang assumed she was frightened. "I'm sorry, it was my negligence. I'll stay outside the door for a while, so you can sleep peacefully."
He inspected the infrared device, then said in a puzzled tone, "How come one of them is broken?"
After a short while, he tightened the loose screw and then closed the door.
Gu Xingnian stared wide-eyed, wide awake, her mind racing with thoughts of the strange man in men's clothing. Could there be another womanizer in Fengshi Town? A chill ran down her spine…
The night was deep.
The stars tonight are unusually bright, each one seemingly about to fall down.
Fu Beichen held a glass of red wine, the crimson liquid swirling gently within. He stood by the window, his tall figure facing away from the room, his gaze fixed on the boundless, dark sea outside.
The sea breeze blew by, carrying a salty, damp scent, but it couldn't dispel the solemnity between his brows; his eyes revealed neither joy nor sorrow.
Lin Qi approached quietly, barely daring to breathe. He tentatively asked, "Mr. Fu, have you... seen your wife?"
Fu Beichen did not turn around; his voice was cold, as if it had been chilled to the bone.
"Have Qingzhao stay by your side at all times and guard Villa No. 13." He paused, then added, "Tonight, an outsider broke in."
Lin Qi felt a chill run down his spine.
Fu Beichen gripped his wine glass tightly, the terrifying moment flashing through his mind, his heart still pounding. If he hadn't happened to be there... the consequences would have been unimaginable.
She might get hurt!
This thought intensified the chill that enveloped him. This dilapidated town, seemingly isolated from the world, what good was being sealed off? It still couldn't find peace.
He had to get her away from here as soon as possible.
must!
Lin Qi quickly bowed and said, "Yes, President Fu, I'll arrange it right away."
He couldn't help but ask another question, lowering his voice even further: "Then...did Madam recognize you?"
Fu Beichen finally turned around slowly, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the moonlight.
He shook his head, his expression inscrutable.
Lin Qi's eyes darted around, he cleared his throat, and continued, "President Fu, the food festival here is in a couple of days. I've heard it's a big day!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke: "I've heard that all the single men and women in town will attend a grand masquerade ball on that day!"
"Not only that, but they also confess their love to their sweethearts at the dance! Finally, everyone releases sky lanterns together to make wishes!"
Lin Qi rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with a "praise me" expression: "President Fu, just think about it, on such a beautiful day, if you were to confess your feelings to your wife... it would definitely have unexpected consequences."
Fu Beichen finally reacted.
"oh."
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice rising at the end, carrying a hint of scrutiny and a touch of mockery as he stared intently at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi felt uneasy under his gaze, and a chill ran down his spine.
He suddenly remembered that globally sensational live-streamed confession... and how it ended up being a complete mess. That scene was practically a disaster.
The wife almost lost her watch!
Thinking of this, Lin Qi straightened his chest, adopting a reckless expression, "President Fu! This time, this time I guarantee it with my integrity! Absolutely no mistakes!"
He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart: "If this doesn't work out again... I, I'll request to be transferred to Maduri!"
Fu Beichen's lips twitched, a half-smile playing on his lips. His voice was low, yet it carried a chilling edge.
Why waste a plane ticket? Wouldn't it be easier to just throw it in to feed the fish?
Lin Qi: "..."
He wanted to take back what he had just said!
The next day.
The sunlight was so bright it was almost blinding.
Gu Xingnian's mood brightened as she and Xia Tang strolled through the local market, which was bustling with people.
A dazzling array of brightly colored local handicrafts are on display, and the air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making one's mouth water.
"Wow, Xiao Tang, look at this! It's so cute!" Gu Xingnian picked up a hand-woven little trinket, her eyes sparkling.
Xia Tang walked beside her, a gentle smile on his face, occasionally responding with a few words.
Not far away, a tall figure followed them like a ghost. The man wore a baseball cap, deliberately concealing his stunningly handsome face.
When Fu Beichen saw Gu Xingnian smiling radiantly at the young man, the two chatting and laughing, the atmosphere so harmonious it was almost blinding, his body temperature suddenly dropped.
How long has it been since that smile was shown to him?
A sudden burst of flame shot up and instantly ignited him.
He swept a sharp look across them.
In the crowd, Qing Zhao received the order and quietly left the shadows, heading straight towards Xia Tang and Gu Xingnian.
She walked briskly, looking just like an ordinary tourist.
Just as she brushed past Xia Tang—
"Oh dear!" Qing Zhao suddenly exclaimed, her body went limp, and she fell straight into Xia Tang's arms.
Xia Tang reacted quickly and instinctively reached out to support the person.
"Miss, are you alright?" he asked with concern.
Qingzhao's face was pale, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she was clutching her chest, looking as delicate and frail as Xi Shi holding her heart.
Her voice was weak and broken as she said, "I...I feel a little dizzy...my heart...my heart is beating so fast..."
She raised her watery eyes and looked at Xia Tang with a pitiful expression: "Could you...take me to the hospital?"
Xia Tang frowned slightly, and Gu Xingnian looked at Qing Zhao with some concern: "How are you? Are you alright?"
She said to Xia Tang, "You should take this young lady to the hospital quickly, don't delay. I'm fine, I'll just stroll around the street ahead, come find me when you're done."
Xia Tang nodded: "Okay, then be careful."
He took out his phone, quickly made a call, and whispered a few instructions, presumably to arrange for new security personnel to come and take over.
After doing all this, he carefully helped the "extremely weak" Qingzhao and slowly left the bustling market.
Gu Xingnian watched them walk away before continuing her stroll.
Xia Tang helped Qing Zhao to a secluded corner. Just a second ago, Qing Zhao was swaying precariously, but suddenly her eyes sharpened and her movements were as fast as lightning.
She pulled her elbow back and delivered a precise punch to the back of Xia Tang's neck!
"Bang!"
Xia Tang only managed to utter a mumbled "You..." before everything went black and she fainted.
Qingzhao steadily supported his tall body, dragged him to a bench by the roadside, and carefully adjusted him into a comfortable position so that he looked like he was fast asleep after a long walk.
After doing all this, she clapped her hands, looked at the unconscious Xia Tang, and curled her lips into a disdainful smile.
"With such rudimentary skills, you think you can protect others?"
"Noob!"
She muttered a complaint under her breath, turned around, and quickly disappeared around the street corner.
Gu Xingnian walked forward slowly. She gently raised her head, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the sweet fragrance in the air.
She followed the scent into a flower shop, and when she came out, she had a bouquet of purple flowers in her hand, the color of which was rich and eye-catching.
She smiled slightly, a small, content smile.
Fu Beichen stood not far away, just watching her. Her delighted little face tickled his heart like a cat's claw. He wanted to rush forward, to pull her into his arms, and hold her tightly!
He struggled to control himself, his hands clenching unconsciously, his gaze burning with intensity. He stood there, his long legs straight, like a firmly rooted pine tree, watching her without moving.
Sudden.
On the third-floor balcony of an old building next door, two children were playing noisily, pushing and shoving each other, their shouts jarring.
Two pots of flowers sat on the edge of the balcony, the pots shaking violently, soil clinging to them, teetering on the verge of collapse.
It's about to hit Gu Xingnian on the head.
Unaware of her surroundings, she was looking down at the purple flower in her hand, a smile playing on her lips.
Danger was imminent! The flowerpot suddenly tipped over and fell...
