When Xia Linyu saw that it was Ming Xiang who opened the door, her heart skipped a beat.
The key point is that Mingxiang was wearing pajamas at this time.
And even their pajamas are a matching couple's set!
Furthermore, Mingxiang was wearing a couple's bracelet on her wrist.
This is something Xia Linyu has never worn before.
She used to not care much about these things, thinking they were useless.
But today, for no apparent reason, she felt a little jealous.
Mingxiang looked at her and softly called out, "Miss Xia?"
Startled by her call, Xia Linyu quickly snapped out of her reverie and nodded gently, saying, "Mm."
Mingxiang then asked, "Did you come so early for something?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you two have some time? I heard there's a movie showing at the Titanium Crystal Cup Global Cinema Center recently. I was wondering if you wanted to go see it? I heard it just started showing."
Anyway, the summit won't start for another seven days, so they have plenty of time.
Of course, Xia Linyu didn't intend to invite Mingxiang along when she came.
However, Xia Linyu was very clever. She knew very well that if she didn't say that, Lu Zheng would most likely refuse her.
Without Lu Zheng by her side, what's the point of her going to see it?
Strangely enough, Xia Linyu felt very comfortable whenever she could see Lu Zheng.
She even inexplicably wanted to be with Lu Zheng.
Even being a second wife would be fine.
But after mentioning watching a movie, her heart started racing.
She could actually grasp Lu Zheng's personality.
She knew that even if a loyal man like Lu Zheng said this now, he might not be willing, and might even refuse her.
She doesn't want to experience that feeling of being rejected right now; it would cause her inexplicable heartache.
Of course, she didn't show it on her face at the moment, but her palms were a little sweaty.
Mingxiang didn't say anything, but turned her gaze to Lu Zheng.
If Lu Zheng agrees to go, then we'll go; if he doesn't agree, then we won't go.
Lu Zheng walked over, looked at Ming Xiang, and then at Xia Linyu, who was looking at him expectantly. He then smiled and said, "Okay, but only as friends."
The reason he said that was actually to tell Xia Linyu that this was Lu Zheng's bottom line.
He has a woman he loves. It's okay to be friends, but we can't cross the line.
How clever is Xia Linyu?
She naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Zheng's words.
In that instant, she felt inexplicably sad.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this feeling is really uncomfortable.
A sudden, inexplicable pain almost made her unable to hold it in.
Fortunately, she was a seasoned businesswoman who quickly adjusted her mindset and her expression returned to normal. She smiled slightly at Lu Zheng and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu."
Even if she wanted to pursue Lu Zheng, she had to proceed step by step and wait for the right opportunity. She understood this principle!
"Okay, let's go then."
Lu Zheng smiled slightly.
Anyway, they've already finished cleaning up.
However, not long after Lu Zheng, Ming Xiang, and Xia Linyu left, two burly foreign men walked towards them.
After the three entered the cinema, they also bought movie tickets.
The two sat down behind Lu Zheng and the others.
At this moment, Lu Zheng was still alert.
Although this is the place with the lowest crime rate in the world, there are still crimes.
And even if this isn't the case, the city next door is a crime metropolis.
Lu Zheng could sense that the two burly men behind him were up to no good. He glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and saw that they were staring at him.
At this moment, Mingxiang and Xia Linyu were unaware of the hostility between the two and were waiting for the movie to start.
Lu Zheng deliberately rubbed his stomach and said, "No, my stomach hurts. You two go first, I'm going to the toilet."
He didn't want to bring trouble to the two girls, so he planned to go out first and lure them away.
Sure enough, just as Lu Zheng got up and went to the door, the two burly men exchanged a glance, and then got up and walked out as well.
As soon as they entered the bathroom, they locked the outer door behind them.
They just assumed Lu Zheng was really coming in to use the restroom, so they all swaggered in.
But as soon as they passed the wall around the corner, they turned around and saw Lu Zheng quietly waiting for them with his arms crossed.
Lu Zheng grinned at them and said, "You two, have you been following me for a while?"
The two looked at each other, completely surprised that Lu Zheng would be waiting for them here.
Then one of them rubbed his hands together and said, "Mr. Lu, were you waiting for us?"
The man's Chinese wasn't particularly fluent, but the fact that he addressed Lu Zheng as "Mr. Lu" showed that they had conducted a thorough investigation into Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng chuckled and asked, "Are you assassins? Or what?"
Actually, the two of them thought Lu Zheng would be scared when he saw them, but they didn't expect him to be so calm, and even ask them if they were assassins.
This was indeed somewhat unexpected for both of them.
Despite their surprise, after a brief exchange of glances, the two said to Lu Zheng, "We are assassins."
"You've come to kill me?"
Oya is one of the oldest but also one of the safest cities in the world, not only because of its high standard of living, but also because of its highly efficient law enforcement.
Furthermore, the law enforcement officers are equipped with very advanced equipment, and the punishments are quite severe.
It would be incredibly foolish for these two assassins to come to this ancient city to make their move.
Although the two of them could indeed kill Lu Zheng, the price would be that they themselves wouldn't be able to leave.
In the ancient city of Oya, even a petty theft can prompt the city government to hold a press conference to apologize. Such a murder would severely damage the city's reputation as the safest place.
If these two assassins are caught, they will suffer a terrible fate.
Lu Zheng felt that these people should know better than he did.
One of the assassins chuckled and said, "Mr. Lu, you're joking. Since we're here, we naturally won't lay a hand on you. However, well, you have to pay for your life. Someone offered five million Oya coins to kill you. If you want to live, you'll have to pay double that, which is ten million Oya coins."
Five million Oya coins, calculated according to the exchange rate, is equivalent to 500,000 RMB, since the exchange rate is 10 to 1.
Lu Zheng could afford to pay that amount, but he didn't expect these assassins to be so untrustworthy. They took money from other employers and then betrayed them.
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Money is not a problem, but I'm quite curious, who would be willing to travel all this way to spend money to save my life?"
