    “This is probably the situation…” Qiao Qiao concluded, “So I need you to cooperate with me and trick the two bodyguards outside into thinking that I am with you all the time, so that I have time to do my things.”

    “Wait a minute, I still don’t understand something.” Sun Xiuxiu pressed her two middle fingers against her left and right temples, with a shocked expression on her face, “In other words, you are with a powerful person now, and he sends bodyguards to monitor you?”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Damn it, I can’t refute it.

    “It’s not that exaggerated.” Qiao Qiao tried to save some dignity, “It’s just that I can’t let him know what I want to do.”

    “For example? Having an affair?”

    Qiao Qiao: “…Where did you think you were?”

    “Okay, you don’t need to say anything.” Sun Xiuxiu said with an “I understand everything” expression on her face, “Don’t worry, I will help you even if you kill people and set fire. It’s just an affair. It’s nothing. I understand.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Forget it, I don’t want to explain anymore, I feel so tired.

    “But is it necessary to go to such trouble?” Sun Xiuxiu asked, “Can’t you go out in the dark at night and come back the next morning? Anyway, there are only two of us at home, and the two bodyguards don’t know whether you are in the room or not.”

    “No.” Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly, “The two of them don’t sleep in the hotel, they just work shifts outside. Even if I have wings, I may not be able to fly out secretly.”

    Sun Xiuxiu took a breath: “Is that person in your family so strict with you?”

    “Oh, talking too much brings tears to my eyes.”

    “Then what do you want me to do?”

    Qiao Qiao coughed lightly and said, “I have a plan…”

    Early the next morning, Qiao Qiao and Sun Xiuxiu went out chatting and laughing.

    In Zhao Wen’s eyes, it was a bit strange that Sun Xiuxiu was running around just after being discharged from the hospital, but he was relieved when he saw that the two of them went to a nearby clinic for injections. Sun Xiuxiu took two bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs for almost an hour and a half. After finishing the treatment, it was still early, so the two found a restaurant to eat. After the meal, they went to sit by the lake, and then got into a private room of a cafe.

    Zhao Wen sat in the booth near the box as usual. From this position, he could see the entrance to the box and could vaguely hear the sounds inside.

    He also ordered a cup of coffee for himself. The job of protecting Qiao Qiao was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Mr. Song paid special attention to her and gave her death orders. Therefore, he and Zhang Qun had been working hard these days to deal with it, wishing they could sleep with half their eyes open.

    Fortunately, the end of the mission is not far away.

    Zhao Wen just stood guard like this, and occasionally he could hear laughter coming from the box. It was not very clear, but he could still tell that it was Qiao Qiao’s voice.

    It looked like they didn’t plan to come out for a while.

    So Zhao Wen ordered a cup of coffee for himself, but it was not for drinking, just so that he would not look too out of place sitting here.

    Since he might be here for a long time, he had to immerse himself in the environment.

    Qiao Qiao took a taxi and gave the driver an extra 100 yuan as a tip, asking him to rush to the place she mentioned as quickly as possible.

    Sun Xiuxiu helped her calculate. According to this plan, the two of them could stay in the coffee shop box until about five o’clock in the afternoon at most. Excluding the time on the road, Qiao Qiao would only have 4 hours for her to move around freely.

    She hoped she could meet Cheng Xiu smoothly. If she found no one there when she arrived, she would really vomit blood.

    “Arrived.”

    Qiao Qiao was woken up by the driver. She only slept for two hours last night to record the voice, and she really couldn’t hold on.

    After getting out of the car, Qiao Qiao saw several large warehouses in front of him. They were desolate and deserted. The warehouses were also overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

    She opened the note and confirmed the address. It was the right place. She had no choice but to walk in, her heart pounding.

    After walking around a few bushes of weeds, Qiao Qiao could clearly see the heavy lock on the warehouse door. It was so rusty that it almost broke, and it seemed like it could be kicked open with just one kick.

    “No…”

    Qiao Qiao was a little desperate. If she hadn’t been familiar with Cheng Xiu’s personality, she would have suspected that she had been tricked into killing someone here.There wasn’t even a decent building here. Cheng Xiu couldn’t wait for her here in the open air, right?

    Just when she was undecided, a deep male voice suddenly came to her ears: “You’re here.”

    “Ahhhhhhh!!!”

    It’s no exaggeration at all. Qiao Qiao’s heart almost flew out of her chest. If Cheng Xiu hadn’t quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands, she would have sat on the ground.

    “I’m sorry for scaring you.”

    Qiao Qiao stood up with a pale face, touched his chest to calm down for a long time, and then said helplessly: “Can you say hello to me before you show up next time?”

    The resolute man pursed his lips and nodded seriously.

    Only then did Qiao Qiao see his whole person. Cheng Xiu had not changed much from the last time they met, except that his hair was cut a little shorter. On such a cold day, he still only wore a black cotton vest on his upper body. His shoulder muscles were bulging and his lines were particularly obvious.

    “Where did you come from?” Qiao Qiao looked around, “There was no one when I came in.”

    “This way.”

    Cheng Xiu led Qiao Qiao around the warehouse and walked behind a hidden half wall. Then he lifted a round lid on the ground and motioned for Qiao Qiao to enter.

    Qiao Qiao never expected that she would have to climb a ladder, so she quickly tightened her belt and followed Cheng Xiu’s instructions to carefully descend into the straight up and down stairwell. Cheng Xiu followed closely behind her. After a while, she heard a slight “click”. When the manhole cover was closed, soft little lights lit up on the walls.

    “Be careful of slippery feet.” Cheng Xiu’s voice came from above.

    After climbing for about ten meters, his feet finally touched the ground. A small door appeared in front of him. Cheng Xiu walked over and pressed it. The small door slowly opened. It turned out to be an elevator.

    Qiao Qiao looked at all this in amazement. In fact, there was nothing new about elevators and iris recognition. It was just that the above ground part looked so dilapidated, but the underground part was so high-tech, giving people a strong sense of fragmentation.

    “Where is this?” Qiao Qiao asked.

    “Military safe house.”

    “Oh…” Qiao Qiao wisely shut up as soon as he got involved with the military.

    The two took the elevator down some distance, and finally came to a slightly wider space. The place was decorated like an ordinary three-bedroom home, with floors, TVs, and coffee tables all in place, except that there were no windows.

    You could feel the breeze flowing in the air, and the temperature and humidity were just right, but Qiao Qiao didn’t see any equipment such as air conditioning. He thought some high-tech military technology was installed here.

    “Why… choose here?”

    Cheng Xiu poured her a glass of water: “Convenient.”

    “What’s convenient?”

    The man stopped talking again. Qiao Qiao could guess from the frown on his face that it was probably because it was troublesome to explain, so he simply chose to remain silent.

    Qiao Qiao didn’t know what to say for a moment. She obviously had a lot to ask, but after seeing Cheng Xiu, she felt that as long as he came back safely, it would be fine.

    Neither of them spoke, and the room was very quiet, but it was precisely because of the silence that Qiao Qiao caught the gentle cough next door.

    She looked at Cheng Xiu in surprise, meaning there was someone else here?

    “I brought the young master back.” Cheng Xiu said it calmly, but to Qiao Qiao’s ears it was like dropping a bombshell.

    “Master? Jian Baiyou? Did you bring him back?”

    “Yes.” Cheng Xiu said calmly, “Do you want to see him? The bedroom is at the end of the corridor. The door is unlocked.”

    Qiao Qiao was about to go over immediately after hearing this, but her reason forced her to stop: “Aren’t you coming with me?”

    “The young master doesn’t want to see me.”

    Qiao Qiao didn’t quite understand what it meant, but she couldn’t think about that much anymore. She had many questions to ask Jian Baiyou.

    The bedroom door opened as soon as it was opened. There was no light inside, and a very, very pleasant aroma came to his nose. Qiao Qiao had smelled it in Jian Baiyou’s residence before, but it was rarely this strong.

    Only then did she remember that she was too anxious and forgot to knock on the door. She quickly took back the foot she stepped in and asked at the door: “Mr. Jian, I am Qiao Qiao. Is it convenient for you now?”

    There was silence in the room. Qiao Qiao boldly asked again, but still no one answered.

    She thought for a while, reached out and groped on both sides of the wall, and turned on the light with a ‘pop’.

    “Close it!”

    An angry voice immediately came from deep in the room, Qiao Qiao quickly closed it again, and his eyes returned to darkness.

    This is the fastest way to detect Jian Baiyou’s presence…

    “Mr. Jian, I’m coming in.” Qiao Qiao stepped into the room with a heartbeat.

    In the past, she would never have dared to do this, but today, with Cheng Xiu behind her, she felt much safer, so she became bolder.

    The room was very dark, and Qiao Qiao almost groped her way forward. There seemed to be a lot of things scattered on the ground, and she would stumble if she took two steps. Fortunately, the area was not big, and she touched the soft bed in a moment.

    “Mr. Jian?” Qiao Qiao continued to fumble in the quilt, “Where are you?”

    As soon as her wrists tightened, she was violently pulled forward by a strong force. Qiao Qiao was not prepared at all, and instantly lost her balance. She fell into the quilt in an extremely embarrassing posture, and fell into the mud.

    Someone laughed softly, seemingly pleased by Qiao Qiao’s embarrassment.

    “How come you haven’t made any progress at all?”

    Qiao Qiao got up from the pile of soft fabrics on her hands and knees. The room was too dark for her to see clearly, but she could tell from the voice that Jian Baiyou was on her right, so she turned to that direction: “Mr. Jian, it’s great to see you again.”

    What she said was very serious, not false at all, and came completely from the bottom of her heart. Even though Jian Baiyou was teasing her just now, Qiao Qiao didn’t feel angry.

    She knew that Jian Baiyou chose to do those things without thinking about surviving. She even thought that she might never see him again.

    So, to be teased by him again, to hear his laughter again, to smell his scent again——

    All too good.
