Taishu recalled, "Later, news of his death spread throughout that area. I heard his surname was Xu."
"Qiu Wenlong back then must not have imagined that my father would have such a stratagem."
After speaking, he got into the car at his daughter's urging.
Seeing Taishu hurry away, Zhou Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
This was an opportunity he had to seize, or he would regret it for the rest of his life.
His surname was Xu, he had been a soldier, and he was once a well-known figure.
This was a huge breakthrough point.
...
Shangjing.
"Where are we going now?" Li Huihui asked Qiu Wenlong, sitting in the car.
Qiu Wenlong smiled and said, "To meet an old friend."
Qiu Wenlong drove Li Huihui to a hotel, parked the car, and then took her into the elevator, pressing the button for the top floor.
He surveyed the surroundings. "I lived here for a few days, but I rarely had time to visit. I brought you here today because I want to tell you that Elder Fan is dining here today. Bringing you along is to avoid awkward silence."
Li Huihui didn't understand why he suddenly changed his mind.
"Didn't you say my mission was almost complete and I could leave?"
Qiu Wenlong smiled and said, "That's right. As long as the mission is completed, I will restore your freedom. But for now, you are still my wife. Haven't you gotten used to this identity after all these years? If you wish, I can love you forever, provided you forget that damned guy."
Li Huihui sneered.
"Stop pretending to be affectionate in front of me, Qiu Wenlong, you're disgusting!"
Qiu Wenlong, however, seemed not to hear Li Huihui's words, maintaining his smile.
"Once a caged bird flies away, it either starves to death or is shot down. Huihui, one day, you will understand that following me is your ultimate destination!"
"Destination? Heh..."
"You are too stubborn. Stubborn women generally don't have good lives."
Li Huihui turned her head away.
Silence hung between them.
When the door to the private room was opened, they put on a show of being a loving couple, facing the people inside with smiles.
...
Three days later.
Eagle Country.
A black car stopped in front of a villa. Taishu got out of the passenger seat and knocked respectfully on the door.
The door soon opened. an glanced at Taishu and said, "Come in."
"Yes." Taishu entered the room and stood respectfully before an.
an sat down on the sofa, took a small sip of coffee from the cup on the table, and then said, "How did things go this time? Any news?"
"That guy surnamed Xu, named Tianhua, has provoked me more than once."
Taishu nodded and placed a letter in front of the other person. "Sir, please take a look."
an didn't even look at it, directly tossing the letter onto the floor. "Useless. All of you are useless!"
"Sir, you don't need to be angry. I can help."
"You?"
"Yes, I've handled such matters in the Golden Triangle before, and I'm quite adept at it."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes, since this person has caused you trouble, I can help you contact him and deal with him."
Taishu said, lowering his head.
"Oh? What else do you know?" an raised his eyes, staring at him coldly, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
Taishu faltered, "This..."
an sneered, "Speak."
"I heard those people are suicide attackers, determined to achieve their goals even at the cost of their own lives."
an fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. "Continue."
"Since this person has been provoking you but not doing anything else, it's obvious he's trying to investigate something. Why don't you let me apprehend him?"
"Also, his evasion skills are excellent, but I can match him."
an's lips curved into a sinister arc, and a bloodthirsty glint flickered in his eyes. "Heh... Very good."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
Taishu's expression changed slightly. "Sir."
an looked up and saw a tall, upright man walk into the center of the living room.
The man was dressed in black, with a black veil covering his face. He was tall and strong, exuding an aura of killing intent.
an stood up from his seat and greeted the other party, "Are you Watt of the Tor family?"
The man beneath the veil nodded indifferently. "Indeed."
"Then it's perfect. Cooperate with Taishu to capture this person for me. Make sure he doesn't leave Eagle Country." an pointed to the paper on the floor. "This is a token of my appreciation."
The man in black bent down and picked up the paper. "Thank you, sir, for your generous gift."
"You're welcome."
"However, if you can't find that guy, don't bother coming to me for business."
an said with great arrogance.
Three days ago.
Following Zhou Xuan's orders, Taishu found Xu Tianhua first with the photograph.
The two of them collaborated and acted out a few scenes.
Taishu successfully infiltrated the Pearl Manor in Eagle Country.
Although an additional assassin from the Tor family, Watt, has appeared, making things a bit tricky, it's not entirely without gain.
an thought for a moment and finally agreed.
This was also the outcome that Taishu and Xu Tianhua had expected.
"Please rest assured."
Taishu withdrew from the bedroom. an picked up the letter, read it, and then let out a cold laugh. "Qiu Wenlong, the Qiu family, let's see how you manage to recover from this."
"If you dare to defy me, you'd better be able to keep your position."
...
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the two figures sleeping in each other's arms.
Zhou Xuan got out of bed.
If he didn't get up, he couldn't guarantee he could control himself when facing his beautiful wife.
Lu Ling'er turned over, stretched, and vaguely opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling.
She didn't understand why she had slept so soundly last night, not even having a dream.
She reached out, fumbled, and felt the space beside her was empty.
Lu Ling'er frowned and sat up, throwing off the covers.
She remembered that Brother Xuan had held her while they slept last night after he returned.
Where did he go?
Lu Ling'er jumped out of bed and walked barefoot towards the living room.
Zhou Xuan was in the kitchen making breakfast.
He was wearing a white apron and nothing else.
He wore shorts below.
His firm arms, smooth lines, and toned, dark muscles, and his handsome profile made Lu Ling'er stare in awe.
Lu Ling'er thought, why does Brother Xuan look even more handsome after going out?
He seemed more manly.
Her heart fluttered, and her knees suddenly felt weak and itchy, her feet rubbing against the floor.
Zhou Xuan heard the sound and turned around to see her, smiling slightly.
"Hmm? Why are you up? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
Lu Ling'er looked at him resentfully. "Brother Xuan, are you doing this on purpose? You didn't even hold me while I slept!"
Zhou Xuan wiped his hands, walked over, scooped her up, and placed her directly onto the kitchen counter.
An intense aura of hormones filled the kitchen.
Lu Ling'er swallowed.
"Xuan, Brother Xuan..."
"Getting up without shoes this early, be careful not to catch a cold."
