The sky brightened, and strong sunlight shone on the heavy blackout curtains, illuminating the outline of the room.
A sturdy arm stretched out from the dark gray silk quilt, groped for the suddenly vibrating mobile phone on the bedside table, and quickly turned it off.
Although his movements were quick, he still woke up the girl in his arms.
Tang Xili suddenly opened her eyes, her sleepy eyes were blank for two seconds, staring at the ceiling above her head.
"What time is it?" she asked, her voice a little hoarse.
The man pulled her closer to him and said, "7:30, sleep a little longer?"
Tang Xili is a person who sleeps little but is full of energy. Five hours is enough for her to get enough rest.
She pushed the man's chest and asked him, "Aren't you going to work?"
Yong Zhixu smelled her fragrant and soft hair, and his heart felt a little itchy.
“I was suspended from my job,” he said. “Now I’m unemployed.”
"Why was he suspended?" Tang Xili was surprised.
As far as she knew, his work ability was outstanding. In the three years since he took office, he not only boosted the domestic economy, but also increased foreign trade orders three times compared to before. He alone created nearly one trillion GDP for the country.
There is hope that he will be promoted to become the president next year.
Yong Zhixu brushed away the messy hair covering her eyebrows, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the corner of her eye. "I will be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after New Year's Day. This period of time is considered a vacation."
"Heh..." Tang Xili teased, "Your grandfather's execution is pretty good."
After New Year’s Day...that means there is more than a month of vacation.
Quite beautiful.
She couldn't help but compare him to herself.
Out of 365 days in a year, she is busy for 360 days. She is either negotiating business or on the way to negotiate business, flying all over the world.
It's only been these three months since I returned to China to pack up and settle down, so it hasn't been that busy.
Yong Zhixu played with her hair and chuckled, "He always keeps his word."
Then, he changed the subject and gently pulled her hair, "Your hair has grown a lot longer."
Tang Xili scratched her hair and said, "It's long. I'm going to get it cut today."
"I don't think I've seen you with long hair before..." Yong Zhixu rolled her hair, feeling a little curious.
In the information I found, her photos always showed her with short hair, and her hairstyle has remained the same for several years without changing.
Speaking of long hair, Tang Xili thought of the mission seven years ago. Her waist-length hair was pulled by her opponent and pressed into the meat grinder. Her hair was mixed in and her head was getting closer and closer to the meat grinder.
The powerful bite force almost tore off her entire scalp. At the critical moment, she touched a knife, swung it and cut off her hair, thus escaping.
Since then, I never grow long hair again. It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s a nuisance.
"You know, being a mercenary is very dangerous. Short hair can avoid many potential dangers."
Yong Zhixu understood and tucked her hair behind her ear. He then asked her about Max, "He's escaped. What are you going to do next?"
Tang Xili was silent for a moment. "After Elizabeth died yesterday, I reviewed the whole incident and found two suspicious points."
"Which two?"
"First, I heard that Max's son, Elvis, and Elizabeth had a very good relationship. If I capture Elizabeth, given the power of the current head of the Morgan Consortium, there's no way there won't be any movement. Second..."
Tang Xili pointed out another unreasonable point, "Max is not a man who would shoot himself in the foot. Even if he has no feelings for his own child, he cherishes his own life. If Elizabeth really died at his hands, Elvis would not let him go."
Yong Zhixu thought for a few seconds, "You mean, this Elizabeth is a decoy, just like the two Maxes before, they are all fake. He deliberately killed the fake one in front of you to cut off your way of threatening him with your family."
"I can't rule out this possibility..." Tang Xili said, "I've already asked Amy to go to Country M to verify this matter. We should have news soon."
Yong Zhixu didn't expect that catching Max would be as complicated as Infernal Affairs.
No wonder we couldn’t find it after so many years. It’s even more cunning than a fox.
Thinking of Tangxi Ningyue, Yong Zhixu sighed, this is what blood inheritance means, even the means of deceiving the world are the same.
The two were chatting, and at eight o'clock, Bella called.
"Evelyn, our business with the Russian mafia has been robbed."
Tang Xili paused while putting on her clothes, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Who did this?"
Bella could feel the pressure even through the phone and replied solemnly, "I checked, it's the Morgan Group..."
"Heh..." Tang Xili sneered and exchanged glances with Yong Zhixu, "Looks like another trick."
First he made her think that Elizabeth was dead, then he took over her business and created the illusion of revenge to confirm the matter.
"Bella, go check if it was Elvis's idea or someone else in the Morgan family who did it."
"Okay, I'll check right away."
——
In the afternoon, after Tang Xili had her hair cut, she went to the hospital to see the injured armed soldier and Xiao Tao.
When Xiao Tao nervously proposed to resign, Tang Xili agreed without hesitation and asked Bellado to give her 1 million RMB as a bonus for the past few years.
After leaving the hospital and getting in the car, Yong Zhixu noticed that she had remained silent and asked with concern, "Are you unhappy that Xiao Tao resigned?"
Tang Xili came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Why would I be unhappy? I'm just an employee. I was thinking about Max."
At this time, Amy called, "Evelyn, I've found out. As you expected, the one who died was a fake. The real Elizabeth is being protected in Harford Castle, guarded by over 200 mercenaries."
"Sure enough..." Tang Xili narrowed her eyes, then thought of something and suddenly laughed angrily.
"It seems that kidnapping An Ning was the beginning of his long-term plan. He deliberately attracted my attention, made me go find him, and then staged these two big dramas. What a bitch!"
As expected of him, after so many years, his methods of playing games have become even worse.
When they got home, Bella also had the results of her investigation. "Evelyn, we found out about the business robbery. It was Elvis who made the decision."
In other words, Elvis knew the whole thing and cooperated with Max, handing the fake Elizabeth into her hands as a target.
"Damn it, how dare you play tricks on me again." Tang Xili rarely swore unless she was really angry.
She called Joanna and Bella to the study and told them to do something.
That night, Joanna and Bella set off for Country M, secretly kidnapped the second young master of the second branch of the DuPont family, and hung him outside the window of the eldest young master of the first branch of the Morgan family.
The eldest young master's bodyguard thought it was a killer falling from the sky, so he opened fire without hesitation and killed the second young master DuPont on the spot.
There had been friction between the two families in the business world. The two playboys had once fought over a female star, and now someone had died. The feud was completely over.
When the news of the DuPont family's attack on the Morgan family's business reached Tang Xili, she was playing chess with Yong Zhixu.
Yong Zhixu's fingertips dropped black dots and he asked her, "What should we do next?"
"Three days from now is Mrs. Victoria of the DuPont family's 60th birthday. Let's go discuss a cooperation—"
