Wenrou's doubts grew even stronger. Could it be that she had misunderstood?
Just then, the alarm clock went off, and I was stunned as I gently turned it off.
The people on the other side were all sent by her father to protect her, and naturally there were professionals among them.
Wenrou simply handed over her phone and let them check if there were any apps on it.
Unfortunately, it still hasn't happened.
With the start of work approaching and Wenrou still unable to find anything, she had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.
When she arrived, Bai Qingzhi was already there and greeted them as usual.
"Have you heard? Last night, a man living alone suffered a sudden heart attack and died half the night before he was discovered!" Qiao Shanshan gossiped during her break.
The news of Wang Laosan's death has made the news.
“I saw that too. It’s true that when you get older, you should have someone to live with you.” Bai Qingzhi nodded seriously in response.
“It’s not just older people; young people these days need to be careful about what they say, because there are quite a few sudden deaths!” Qiao Shanshan immediately replied.
Wenrou watched them talk the whole time, and she carefully observed Bai Qingzhi's expression when she spoke.
There was no trace of panic on his part.
This made Wenrou even more confused.
Was Wang Laosan's death really just an accident?
That afternoon, Xiao Yuan arrived at the studio.
"How many orders do you still need to complete?" Xiao Yuan asked curiously.
Bai Qingzhi had already checked all the orders in the morning.
"I've finished what I have to do; now it's just the three of them."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was satisfied.
He immediately expressed his desire to go on vacation with Zhizhi.
"Your work is fine?" Bai Qingzhi asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuan has been so busy lately that he can't even get four hours of sleep a night. Now that he suddenly wants to go on vacation, she can't help but wonder if something is wrong with the company.
“Isn’t Xiao Yangjing here?” Xiao Yuan replied naturally.
“She’s already married, and didn’t she say last time that she’s grown up and has children, so she should be involved in the company’s operations.”
As expected, Bai Qingzhi guessed, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Yangjing again.
That very evening, two days later, they boarded a plane, but this time they didn't go abroad; Xiao Yuan chose a very good scenic spot in China.
At the same time, Xiao Yangjing, who had just received the task, was dumbfounded and looked at the assistant left behind by his older brother with a very unwilling expression.
He hasn't had enough of enjoying the warm bed with his wife and kids yet!
"Second Young Master, the boss said that the company is currently unattended. If there are any problems with the performance, your family's allowance will be halved. However, if you go to the company, your family's expenses will be doubled regardless of whether the company makes a profit or not." The assistant repeated Xiao Yuan's words, even mimicking his expression perfectly.
Having a child made Xiao Yangjing realize how expensive it was, so he had no choice but to accept Xiao Yuan's arrangement and sat down in his older brother's office with immense resentment.
In the days that followed, while Xiao Yuan was away, the company was filled with a strong atmosphere of resentment.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi were having a great time.
These past few days, Xiao Yuan has completely relaxed. Without the distractions of official business, and with his beloved by his side, he couldn't have described how wonderful it was.
Bai Qingzhi, on the other hand, is completely carefree. Her studio doesn't have many orders, which is more than enough for the other three.
Half a month passed quickly. Bai Qingzhi liked the spring-like climate here all year round.
"I heard there's a really delicious snack thirty miles away, let's go there in a bit!" Bai Qingzhi skipped and hopped to Xiao Yuan's side, still holding the wildflowers she had just trampled in her hand.
Xiao Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse. In his opinion, the reason the scenery here was so beautiful was simply because of Zhizhi.
In just half a month, Bai Qingzhi had learned to weave flower wreaths from the locals. She could quickly turn a large bunch of wildflowers into a wreath and then put it directly on Xiao Yuan's head.
Xiao Yuan didn't object and took her hand, walking slowly forward.
It's almost evening now, and there aren't many people around. The evening breeze is cool and refreshing, which is very pleasant.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan noticed a man dressed in black, wearing a hat and a mask, walking out from the crowd.
The man walked quickly with a hurried expression, his head down and his hands in his pockets.
Subconsciously, Xiao Yuan sensed that something was wrong.
She decisively pulled the young girl away, keeping an eye on the man out of the corner of her eye.
Sure enough, after seeing the two of them move away from the main road, the man followed them.
After looking around, I saw no one else unusual besides the man.
However, for safety reasons, Xiao Yuan still sent a message to his subordinates, asking them to come over.
During the past two weeks, although there were only the two of them on the surface, there were actually no fewer than ten people around Xiao Yuan, just in case something unexpected happened.
"Zhizhi, wait here for me for a moment, I'm going to the restroom." Xiao Yuan arranged for Bai Qingzhi to stay in the crowd, then deliberately drew the men's attention to walk into the shadows.
Bai Qingzhi stood obediently in place waiting. Behind her was a stall selling colorful ropes, and her gaze was unconsciously drawn to it.
Xiao Yuan didn't stop until he was sure Zhizhi couldn't see him, and he leaned against the wall waiting for the man to arrive.
Half a minute later, the man rushed over. He was clearly stunned when he saw that it was only Xiao Yuan. Then he tried to turn around and run away.
His mission is not this man.
"Where are you going? You think you can leave after being discovered?" Xiao Yuan stubbed out his cigarette and asked with a cold laugh.
The man stopped and turned around to stare at Xiao Yuan, asking how he had discovered him.
"How did you find out? Don't you assassins know any disguise at all? Wearing such thick clothing in this sweltering heat is just to prevent others from seeing your face, isn't it? Besides, with your sneaky movements, anyone would be suspicious, okay?" Xiao Yuan shook his head and mocked disdainfully.
The man was clearly caught in self-doubt, but he also knew that now that he had been discovered, there was no way to escape.
"Since you've seen through my identity, I have no choice but to kill you. Although you're not my target, you're still unlucky!" With that, he pulled a switchblade from his pocket.
Under the streetlights, the knife gleamed coldly.
Half a minute later, Xiao Yuan stepped out of the shadows. Inside the darkness, a man lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
After he came out, two more people went in. When they looked more closely, the man who had just been missing had disappeared.
When Xiao Yuan returned, he saw Bai Qingzhi talking to the stall owner. After listening carefully, he realized that they were bargaining.
Bai Qingzhi was getting carried away with her story, and the shop owner didn't want to give her any more money. When she saw Xiao Yuan coming over, the shop owner immediately told her to buy it.
Two colorful ropes, one hundred.
"Isn't it normal for a boyfriend to spend some money?" the boss said deliberately.
“My boyfriend will listen to me. Will you sell them for thirty dollars each? If not, we’ll buy them somewhere else.” Bai Qingzhi grabbed Xiao Yuan’s arm, afraid that he would be manipulated.
“That’s right, I’ll listen to my girlfriend,” Xiao Yuan replied with a smile.
The boss was speechless. He looked at the two of them, who were dressed well and wearing expensive accessories. How could they be so stingy?
