"Xiao Xun, what about the assassin you just mentioned? Did Mu Linlin really send an assassin to kill you?"
Yan Xiaoqian thought of the conversation just now and asked with a worried look on her face.
Gu Xun sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, she found a few, but they were all noobs. I knocked them all down in a few hits. Don't worry."
Liu Yusa and Yan Xiaoqian looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"That woman is crazy, right? Just because of a performance a few days ago, she went to find a killer?"
Yan Xiaoqian noticed the band-aid on the back of Gu Xun’s hand.
"Xiao Xun, this isn't something left behind from the fight with the killer, is it?"
Gu Xun looked at his hands.
"No, it's just a minor injury from bumping into the corner of the table."
Yan Xiaoqian and Liu Yusa were obviously a little skeptical, but Gu Xun changed the subject in time to get over it.
The three of them then walked towards the restaurant.
During lunch break after dinner, Gu Xun took out his cell phone and after thinking about it, he decided to call Ye Muchen.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"Hello, Miss Gu."
Hearing this magnetic and gentle voice, Gu Xun would unconsciously relax.
"Hey, Mr. Ye, thank you for the Mu family matter."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, followed by a sigh.
"Hey, didn't I tell you not to be so distant with me? Why are you saying thank you again?"
Gu Xun smiled and said, "It's my duty. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Just listen to it. I will treat you to a meal some other day."
"Okay, I'm always available."
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled unconsciously.
"You are Mr. Ye, in charge of so many companies, and you actually say you are always available? Don't let a meal make you lose hundreds of millions."
The man on the other end of the phone opened his mouth, thought for a few seconds, and then said something seriously.
"Compared to you, let alone hundreds of millions, even tens or hundreds of millions are nothing."
This sentence suddenly made Gu Xun, who was still laughing, a little confused for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Ye Muchen to suddenly say such a heart-touching sentence.
The phone fell silent for a moment.
After Ye Muchen finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. Was it too sudden and scared her?
Gu Xun stepped on the stones on the ground to calm himself down.
"Don't worry, I won't let you lose that much. You decide the time for dinner."
"Hmm...Okay."
After chatting for a few minutes, Gu Xun hung up the phone.
Gu Xun looked down at the little ants walking on the ground, and recalled every detail from the time he met Ye Muchen to the present.
She had to admit that she was indeed a little moved.
But her reason told her that she must not fall in love!
Whoever falls in love first will lose!
In her previous life, she had made her assassination targets fall in love with her many times, and then she could easily succeed.
After thinking for a while, Gu Xun's mind became more and more confused, so she simply shook her head.
"Forget it, just let it be."
The days that followed were relatively peaceful, and Gu Xun and his companions focused their attention on the store.
Soon, the store was almost finished, all the employees were hired, and the first batch of designed clothes were already in mass production.
Gu Xun and the other two smiled as they watched their small business gradually develop in a good direction.
night.
Yan Xiaoqian was humming a song at home while thinking about the design draft. Suddenly, an inspiration came to her, and she started to draw.
After finishing the painting, she looked at the draft but couldn't think of any decoration to add, so she rummaged through the box beside her and planned to try it out on the model.
She searched the box for a long time but still couldn't find the material she wanted.
"Huh? Are they all used up?"
Yan Xiaoqian looked at the time and it was already half past nine.
"I wonder if that shop I often go to is still open..."
Yan Xiaoqian pursed her lips and looked at the design draft on the table, and finally decided to take a look.
After all, inspiration always appears in an instant, and the clearest memory will only last for a short time. If you can't finish it and put it here today, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of a suitable design tomorrow.
Yan Xiaoqian immediately got up, changed her clothes, then went out and pressed the elevator.
The city is bustling even in the middle of the night, with vehicles coming and going on the road, and the street lights on the roadside make the road quite clear.
Yan Xiaoqian walked on the side of the road, thinking about the design of the clothes.
After walking for a while, Yan Xiaoqian turned to another intersection according to the route she remembered.
This road is not as wide and bright as the one just now. It is a relatively narrow road with only two lanes.
On one side of the road is the back wall of a row of tall buildings, and on the other side is a row of short resettlement buildings. The street lights on the road are not as bright as before. The trees planted on both sides of the road are very tall, blocking most of the already dim street lights.
It's already this late, and most of the people living in the resettlement housing are elderly. They have already gone to bed at this time, so there are almost no people around.
It was the first time for Yan Xiaoqian to walk this road at this time. During the day, there would be many old men and women passing by here enjoying the cool air, and they looked very comfortable.
Why does it become so eerie at night?
A gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves above her head and making Yan Xiaoqian's hair stand on end.
"No... I'm not afraid. I've walked this road so many times. There's nothing here..."
Yan Xiaoqian turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone to illuminate the road ahead, while whispering to herself to comfort herself.
"Wait... wait until I make some money, I'm going to buy a small electric car so it will be more convenient for me to buy materials..."
Yan Xiaoqian kept muttering to herself to encourage herself along the way, and her pace became faster and faster.
Five minutes later, she finally saw the familiar store in front of her.
"Great! The lights are still on."
Yan Xiaoqian felt relieved and trotted towards the store.
Soon, Yan Xiaoqian bought the materials she wanted as she wished.
"Xiao Qian, come earlier next time. If I hadn't happened to be busy at the store late today, you would have made a wasted trip. The road is very dark at this time, and it's not safe for a little girl to walk at night."
The auntie who runs the shop is a slightly plump woman in her forties. Yan Xiaoqian always comes to her shop to buy things, and they have become familiar with each other for a long time.
"I know, Auntie. This time it's urgent. I'll definitely come during the day next time."
"Go back and be safe."
"Well, goodbye, Auntie."
Carrying the things she wanted, Yan Xiaoqian was in a good mood and didn't seem as scared as when she first came.
Yan Xiaoqian hummed a song to give herself courage and walked quickly towards her home.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of a small stone rolling behind me.
Yan Xiaoqian suddenly felt panicked and her steps stiffened.
After taking a few steps, she became more and more frightened, as she always felt that there seemed to be someone behind her.
So she stopped and listened carefully to the sound behind her.
"Knock, knock, knock."
