Chapter 97

On the stage, the foreign girl's large, blue eyes were clear and sparkling, and her thick, wavy blonde hair cascaded down to her back like a waterfall, giving her a seductive and alluring appearance. Her lips, painted a bright red, curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. Besides being seven parts alluring, she also exuded three parts dignity. The low-cut long dress of a ceremonial lady fitted her curvaceous figure perfectly, and the large expanse of snow-white skin on her shoulders and the deep cleavage at her chest dazzled many of the male guests.

However, what Ferren was most concerned about were the foreign girl's hands, or rather, the ten slender, white fingers and their nails. To others, these nails, polished to a shine, were a work of beauty, but the assassin "Ferren" knew that only truly ancient assassins would trim their nails this way, as such nails were more effective for cutting through human flesh.

An assassin, and a female one at that, exposed under the lights, her purpose was obvious. Apart from an assassination, Ferren could think of nothing else, but who was her target? This question puzzled Ferren for a moment.

Logically, the person closest to her next should be the target. However, Ferren knew his own situation; he had donated the most to the police department, which meant he would be the one to receive the foreign girl's cheek kiss. But he couldn't recall ever offending this foreign girl. No, whether the assassin "Ferren" had offended her, he couldn't remember, not even if they had ever met. He just felt that this girl looked familiar. But the donation was a spontaneous act, and if someone else donated more, the person going on stage would change. Therefore, the wealthy person going on stage to speak was probably not the foreign girl's target.

At this moment, the first speaker, a fat man, stepped down, and the beauty holding the Red Cross sign also left the stage. The young man next to Ferren laughed, "See that? The fat man is making a phone call; the old bull is planning to eat the young grass!"

Ferren looked in the direction the young man indicated and indeed saw the fat man on the phone, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, confirming the young man's guess.

Seeing this, Ferren mused, "Bro, would the Red Cross president attend such a post-event gathering?"

The young man rolled his eyes and sneered, "Bro, are you serious? The Red Cross president wouldn't get involved in such things, unless he's planning a threesome!"

Hearing this, Ferren immediately ruled out the possibility that the foreign girl assassin was targeting Xu Qinan, as apart from going on stage to thank the donors, Xu Qinan would have no further interaction with her. Assassinating in public did not align with an assassin's code of conduct.

Forget it, as long as she's not after me, why bother? Ferren didn't want to think about it anymore. But this girl really looked familiar, where had he seen her before?

The wealthy people on stage to speak changed rapidly, and soon it was the foreign girl's turn. She announced in fluent Chinese, "The guest who donated the most to the police department this time is..." She was smooth up to this point, but then she stumbled on the name, "... Mr. Ferren, who donated fifteen million pounds!"

When this donation amount was announced, there was a stir in the audience. Fifteen million pounds was a significant sum, nearly two hundred million Hong Kong dollars, and to donate it so casually was truly a display of wealth. Moreover, most people in the room had never heard of Ferren, so naturally, there was much discussion.

Police Commissioner Xu Qinan had already taken the stage and stood next to the foreign girl. When he heard the amount of Ferren's donation, he was overjoyed, almost tempted to rush down and kiss Ferren.

At this moment, the host announced, "Please welcome Mr. Ferren to the stage to speak!"

Ferren deliberately waited in the crowd for a few seconds, noticing that the foreign girl had no intention of assassinating Xu Qinan, before he straightened his clothes and walked onto the stage.

Seeing how young Ferren was, the guests began to whisper among themselves.

Once on stage, Ferren quickly noticed that the foreign girl was staring at him intently, as if trying to confirm an enemy.

No way, she really wants to kill me? Ferren thought to himself.

Although Ferren was confident that his current abilities far exceeded those of the foreign girl assassin, he couldn't rule out the possibility that she might have some desperate moves, like blinding him with one or both eyes. If that happened, he would become a one-eyed man, and it would be too late to cry.

Therefore, the closer he got to the foreign girl, the more tense Ferren became, like a sea wasp ready to strike at any moment.

Just then, the host said, "Please have the ceremonial lady put a flower garland on Mr. Ferren!"

This was like lighting the fuse of a bomb. The foreign girl's blue eyes gazed at Ferren, and she walked over quickly with the flower garland, intending to put it on him.

The moment the foreign girl extended her hands, Ferren also reached out, catching her wrists accurately with both hands, "No need for the flower garland, and no need for the cheek kiss, thank you!"

Hearing this, the foreign girl almost froze in place. When Ferren released her, she almost dropped the flower garland, her eyes brimming with tears. The host was also taken aback and quickly recovered, "Since that's the case, let's have Police Commissioner Xu Qinan give his thanks!"

The guests below began to murmur again. If Xu Qinan hadn't already known that Ferren had been suspended for having a super-friendly relationship with a gangster girl, he might have suspected Ferren's sexual orientation, given the opportunity to kiss a beautiful woman.

Fortunately, Xu Qinan, while lost in thought, did not forget his duties. He stepped forward, took the microphone, and began to thank Ferren and the other wealthy donors.

At this moment, the foreign girl, who had been staring at Ferren, flashed a look of anger in her eyes. She leaned forward, her left hand forming a knife-like shape. Unfortunately, only Ferren, who was standing to the side, noticed this. The guests below and the security guards were too far away to see.

Just as Xu Qinan was speaking with enthusiasm, Ferren moved quickly to the foreign girl's side and caught her wrist again, whispering, "What are you trying to do?"

The foreign girl also whispered back, "Hmph, you finally care about me, don't you?"

"Are you crazy? How do I care about you? I'm afraid you'll kill someone!"

"Are you afraid I'll be killed in public and then attacked? You still say you don't care about me!"

Ferren rolled his eyes; this girl's self-esteem was way too high. "Care about you? I don't even know you, why should I care?"

The foreign girl suddenly glared at him, her eyes welling up with tears. "Allen, do you dare say you don't know me?"

"I dare!" Ferren said firmly, "I really, really don't know you!"

Seeing Ferren's innocent expression, the foreign girl was taken aback.

At this moment, the host reminded him, "Mr. Ferren, it's your turn to speak!"

Ferren hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Xu Qinan. Xu Qinan, excited, said, "Allen, on behalf of the police department, I thank you!"

"This is nothing!" Ferren said, then covered the microphone and whispered, "Old Xu, what should I say in my speech?"

Xu Qinan laughed, as the other wealthy people had already prepared their speeches, discussing their companies' business and expanding their influence among the elite. But Ferren, on the other hand, had no idea what to say.

"You can start by explaining why you donated to the police department, and then talk about your company's business, like the other wealthy people!" Xu Qinan suggested, "By the way, what does your company do?"

Ferren smiled but didn't answer, letting go of the microphone and began his speech, "If my next-door neighbor bullies my family, I will of course help my family; if a distant relative bullies my next-door neighbor, I will of course help my next-door neighbor..."

The guests below were stunned by his opening remarks.

"... If a local person bullies my distant relative, I will of course help my distant relative; if a foreigner bullies a local person, I will of course help the local person; if an alien bullies a foreigner, well... that doesn't count, because I am a police officer, so of course I will donate to the police department!" Ferren said this in a calm voice, and the audience burst into laughter. The wealthy people finally understood a bit of Ferren's "protective" nature.

"Thank you all for listening to my rambling. Thank you!" Ferren nodded to Xu Qinan and immediately stepped down from the stage, not even glancing at the beautiful foreign girl.

The foreign girl stared at Ferren's back, lost in thought. If it weren't for the host's reminder, she might not have known to bow out.

After the entire banquet ended, Ferren and Old Li parted ways in the hotel garage. As Old Li's convoy drove away, Ferren got into his Aston Martin, and the foreign girl opened the other door.

Ferren instantly pulled out a gun and pointed it at her, coldly saying, "Get out! Don't think you can seduce me just because you're pretty. I don't like foreign women, especially those who aren't virgins!"

The foreign girl almost fumed, her eyebrows arching, "It was you who took my virginity, and now you're pretending not to know me?"

Ferren realized the foreign girl's identity and found it absurd. He would never admit to being the assassin Ferren, "I said I don't know you, and I took your virginity? Do you believe I'll shoot you?"

The foreign girl puffed her cheeks and sat in the car, slamming the door, "If you have the guts, go ahead!" She even boldly closed her eyes.

Ferren's other hand flipped, and a thumbtack appeared between his fingers. He took the opportunity to prick the foreign girl's Dazhui point.

The foreign girl felt a tingling sensation in her neck and, upon opening her eyes, realized she couldn't move. She was terrified, "You really, really aren't him! What did you do to me?"

"Nothing much, now you can only move your eyelids!" Ferren sneered, "I'll find a quiet place and deal with you slowly!"
