Night had fallen completely, and all was silent.
The door opened, and a tall figure silently stepped out.
Walking slowly down the corridor, Chu Nanfeng's eyes held a hint of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.
He reached out and adjusted his shirt collar, but suddenly stopped when he reached the corner.
"Brother Lu?"
Chu Nanfeng was slightly taken aback when he saw Lu Zhufeng walking towards him.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing so late?"
Upon seeing Chu Nanfeng, Lu Zhufeng was also surprised. Hearing this, he slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth and chuckled dryly:
"Well, I... couldn't sleep, so I just took a walk."
Chu Nanfeng's nose twitched slightly as a faint, delicate fragrance entered his nostrils, causing him to squint slightly.
At the same time, Lu Zhufeng also looked up and sized up Chu Nanfeng, his gaze finally settling on the faint teeth marks around Chu Nanfeng's neck. He suddenly chuckled.
"Young Master Chu, where did you come from?"
Following his gaze, Chu Nanfeng lightly touched his neck and couldn't help but smack his lips.
Little girl, you really have no sense of proportion.
He then looked up at Lu Zhufeng, whose eyes held a strange smile, his gaze flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly:
"What a coincidence, I couldn't sleep either, so I came out for a walk."
They looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing at the same time, their expressions quite interesting.
...
The next morning
Chu Liyue sat gracefully on the sofa, her porcelain-white face adorned with a pair of exquisite silver-rimmed frameless glasses, as she carefully flipped through a stack of documents in her hand.
Her every gesture exudes nobility and elegance, and her focused gaze reveals a cool and aloof charm.
Xiao Wujie crossed his arms and lay on her lap, looking at a foreign language version of "The Little Prince" in front of him, occasionally reaching out to turn the pages.
His chin gently brushed against Chu Liyue's smooth and delicate legs. Occasionally, when he saw something particularly exciting, he would lower his head and give it a few light kisses.
Chu Liyue flipped through the documents while gently stroking his head, letting him entertain himself.
At ten o'clock in the morning, she saw Chu Nanfeng and Leng Ruxue come downstairs one after the other. She keenly noticed Leng Ruxue's frequent gesture of reaching out to support her waist, and her face darkened.
When Chu Nanfeng met her icy gaze, he couldn't help but sneer and secretly beg for mercy.
Just as she was about to make her move, her cell phone, which was lying on the coffee table next to her, rang.
Xiao Wujie, who was lying on her lap, was the first to react. He immediately got up, grabbed his phone from the coffee table, leaned into her arms, and held the phone up to her face.
A hint of a smile flickered in her eyes. Chu Liyue wrapped her arms around his waist and gave him a light kiss as a reward. Then she took the phone he handed her, which showed that the caller ID was Ye Jinyu.
Her cold eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately answered the call, holding it to her ear.
The next second, his pupils contracted slightly, and his expression turned cold.
In just a few seconds, she put down her phone, her eyes filled with icy coldness.
Xiao Wujie, nestled in her arms, quickly asked, "Sister, what happened?"
"Ye Jinyu visited the expert I wanted to invite to consult with me, but was attacked and killed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhufeng, who was sitting some distance away, immediately stood up, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"really……"
With a cold glint in her eyes, Chu Liyue immediately spoke in a cold voice, her tone carrying an extreme sharpness.
"Lu Zhufeng! Immediately contact the personnel of those experts on the protection list and tell them to be on high alert and ready at any time!"
“Since they’ve already made their move, they won’t just target one person.”
After giving instructions to Lu Zhufeng, Chu Liyue casually took off her glasses and called out to Chu Wan and Leng Ruxue, ready to set off immediately.
Xiao Wujie quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, "Sister, I'll go with you."
Chu Liyue reached out and hugged him back, cupped his face and kissed him lightly twice, softening her voice.
"Sweetie, be good. It's cold outside. Stay here and I'll be right back."
"Also, this place isn't completely safe, so you need to stay vigilant and keep a close eye on your medical records and reagents."
In this critical moment, there was no room for hesitation. Seeing that Chu Liyue was determined not to take him, Xiao Wujie did not insist, but his eyes betrayed his worry, and he unusually rambled on:
"Sister, please be careful and don't get hurt."
"Tell me if there is any danger."
She patted his shoulder twice to comfort him, and then Chu Liyue immediately took Chu Wan and Leng Ruxue out the door. Chu Nanfeng and Yun Mo followed without saying a word.
Xiao Wujie was left watching their retreating figures, his eyes filled with worry.
On the other side, the sports car engine roared and sped along.
Chu Liyue sat in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel and the other lightly holding her earphones.
"Ye Jinyu, what's the situation on your end?"
Gunshots rang out continuously in the earpiece, creating a chaotic scene. After a moment, Ye Jinyu's panting, gritted teeth could be heard.
"A lot of assassins have arrived and surrounded the entire hotel, blocking all exits. Fortunately, the hotel's security is decent, so they should be able to hold out for a while longer."
"I'm currently taking advantage of the chaos to get Professor Smith to an area that hasn't been searched yet, but I don't think we can hide for long..."
Several machine gun shots came through the earpiece again, followed by a series of crackling sounds, and then silence.
With cold, piercing eyes staring straight ahead, just as Chu Liyue was driving at full speed, Yun Mo, sitting in the passenger seat with a glint in his eyes, suddenly spoke up urgently:
"Master's wife, there's an ambush!"
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone saw several cars speeding straight toward them on the empty highway ahead, ignoring the fact that they were going the wrong way.
Chu Nanfeng gritted his teeth and angrily retorted, "It seems this was premeditated!"
They had anticipated that they would come out to rescue, and had been waiting there for a long time.
