Chapter 96

In the bathroom, Qiaoyun stood in front of the mirror, wearing a silver silk robe. The soft and smooth robe rippled like waves, clearly very expensive. She tied the waist belt with her jade-like hands, picked up the hairdryer, and began to dry her wet, long hair. At this moment, every frown and movement of hers exuded charm, truly showing a woman's grace.

For some reason, she felt a bit hot even after taking a shower. She adjusted the hairdryer to natural wind, but found the noise too loud, so she set the wind speed to medium. It took her a lot of effort to finally dry her hair.

Thinking about having to sleep in the same room with Lin Zixian from today on, her cheeks couldn't help but flush. She touched her face and found it very hot. Looking in the mirror, she saw a layer of mist on it and quickly wiped it away.

To her surprise, her usually cold and icy face was as red as a monkey's bottom. She quickly turned on the tap, cupped cold water to wash her face, and finally managed to turn her red face into a pale one. After drying her face with a towel, she touched her face to check the temperature and then opened the bathroom door and walked out.

Returning to the room, she noticed a curtain had been hung. She approached to see what was on the other side of the curtain.

Lin Zixian, who was lying on the mattress playing with a gun, heard her come in. He twisted his waist, and his head conveniently slipped under the curtain. Just as he was about to say something, he found his head between someone's legs. Looking up, he saw the white underwear of the legs, and he was instantly stunned, his head feeling a bit sluggish.

Qiaoyun was about to pull the curtain when she suddenly felt something furry scratching her feet and hot breath on her legs. Looking down, she let out a scream and instinctively lifted her foot, kicking Lin Zixian's head several times.

"Ouch..." Lin Zixian held his head and quickly retreated.

The room fell silent again, followed by the sound of the mattress springs.

The curtain was pulled back, and Lin Zixian, holding his nose, slowly came out, not daring to look at her, feeling too ashamed to face anyone. He said weakly, "I really didn't mean to, I didn't see anything..."

You still say... Qiaoyun bit her lip, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Her kicking was a reflex after being invaded, but she knew he didn't do it on purpose. However, how could she bear it!

"Get out! I need to change clothes," Qiaoyun said coldly.

"Okay!" Lin Zixian nodded and bowed, looking more servile than a waiter. He ran out of the room and obediently closed the door for her.

Leaning against the wall outside the door, he didn't even dare to breathe heavily. He really didn't see anything clearly, just vaguely, but those calves were so smooth!

The sound of the door being locked came, clearly Qiaoyun still didn't trust him and didn't dare to change clothes without locking the door.

Lin Zixian, still holding his nose, glanced at the door. Just as he let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt warmth in his nostrils, as if some liquid was flowing. His palm was also sticky. Looking at his hand, he saw it covered in fresh red blood.

Lin Zixian looked up to the sky, feeling utterly helpless. Heaven! Earth! What's going on? Why does he always make a fool of himself in front of this woman? And each time it gets worse, this time even drilling into her pants! How could he do such a dirty thing? Oh no! How can he face people in the future!

The tall, strong man, with a face full of anger, held his numb nose and walked to the bathroom.

Qiaoyun, who had some training, kicked him quite hard, and he was caught off guard, taking several solid hits.

Even if the person being hit had good skills, they wouldn't dare to show any temper, completely accepting the beating. They wouldn't dare to complain even if hit a few more times.

When he returned after cleaning his nose, the room's door was open.

Qiaoyun, with long hair flowing over her shoulders, stood in a black and white large-patterned long dress, looking like a lotus flower, fresh and eye-catching, giving a neighborly girl feel. She was standing in the room, answering a phone call, while her cold eyes stared at Lin Zixian.

Lin Zixian was speechless. He had decided to be calm and composed with this woman, but it was easily ruined. What a mess.

He slowly walked behind the curtain, reassembled the two guns he had disassembled and wiped, and placed them in his waistband for easy access. He put six full magazines, three on each side, into his trouser pockets.

"Where?" Qiaoyun asked on the phone, then after a moment said, "Understood, no need to pick me up, I'll go myself."

After hanging up, she walked to the curtain, lifted it, and said coldly, "Let's go, we have an outing."

Lin Zixian obediently said, "Okay," and followed her, asking, "Where are we going?"

"Zheng Longqing has invited us, to the Nan Shan Maple Pavilion for dinner," Qiaoyun replied succinctly, as she always did.

Lin Zixian nodded, his eyes flashing. Putting together several pieces of information, he had an idea. He quickly reached out, grabbed Qiaoyun's shoulder, stopped her, and turned her around, saying solemnly, "Are you going to deal with Zheng Longqing with Hu Linglong?"

Although his expression was serious, his red nose made him look a bit ridiculous.

Qiaoyun looked at him coldly, neither confirming nor denying.

But for Lin Zixian, this was enough, equivalent to an admission. He said, "Is the Nan Shan Maple Pavilion located in the Donghai Nan Shan area?"

His habit was to get a map and understand the local terrain wherever he went. Mentioning Nan Shan, the terrain there appeared in his mind.

"Yes!" Qiaoyun nodded, no need to hide this.

"Although the environment there is nice, the location is remote, making it a good place for trouble," Lin Zixian said with a cold face. "You want to deal with him, and he invites you to that place at this time. Don't you find it suspicious?"

Qiaoyun pondered for a moment. She had to admire Lin Zixian's analysis. No wonder her father highly recommended him to protect her. He could sense danger at the slightest sign, indeed a specialist.

But for her, she had to take this risk. Tomorrow was the day she planned to act. If Zheng Longqing didn't know about it and she refused now, wouldn't it raise suspicion? Or if Zheng Longqing already had suspicions and was testing her, not going would confirm his doubts. She had to outmaneuver him!

Business is like war. A surprise attack before the battle is half the victory. She had taken ninety-nine steps of risk, she couldn't ruin it at the last moment! Absolutely not!

Qiaoyun stared at Lin Zixian expressionlessly and said, "Even if something happens, aren't you and the others there? My father highly recommends you, so you must have a way to protect me."

"You're playing with your life. You should know that Donghai is the base of the 'Qinglong Gang.' If they decide to act against you, you will be in great danger. Especially in the Nan Shan area, the terrain is perfect for murder and robbery. I can come and go freely alone, but if I bring you... If they are prepared, you should know I'm not a god and can't guarantee your safety. And the others..."

Lin Zixian, speaking angrily, pointed to the door, "Those bodyguards are trained to standard, not professional killers. In complex terrain, facing complex enemies or experts, they can't even protect themselves, let alone protect you. So you absolutely can't take this risk!"

Qiaoyun looked at him silently for a long time but finally said coldly, "If you're afraid to take the risk, you don't have to go." She turned and walked away.

Lin Zixian watched her walk away, and a scene he couldn't bear to recall flashed in his mind. The woman who fell in his arms, the one who took several bullets for him and bled in his arms, dear! What can I do to save you...

Lin Zixian's eyes turned red, and in a moment, he seemed to transform into a furious beast, his face twisted and terrifying...

He took a deep breath, suddenly clenched his fists, and his bones cracked. He gradually calmed down.

He quickly ran downstairs, where Qiaoyun had already gathered Hong Tao and the others to prepare. They exchanged a glance, and Lin Zixian ran to the garage, drove out the BMW, and opened the window, saying, "Get in!"

Qiaoyun was taken aback, not knowing why he would take the risk of not using the bulletproof car, but she still opened the door and sat in the back seat.

Lin Zixian waved to Hong Tao, called him over, and pointed to the bulletproof car, saying, "You drive this car, circle around for a bit, and wait for my call to pick us up at the designated location. Start the car, you go first."

Hong Tao, seeing his serious face, knew something might happen, immediately called the bodyguards, and the convoy drove down the mountain.

Lin Zixian silently lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling, his eyes deep, looking out at the twilight.

Qiaoyun just watched him silently, not asking what he was going to do, trusting that he would have a proper plan.

However, even when Lin Zixian's cigarette was almost finished, he still didn't move. Qiaoyun finally couldn't help but speak, but Lin Zixian beat her to it, saying, "Buckle up!"

Qiaoyun followed his instructions and fastened her seatbelt. Lin Zixian flicked the cigarette butt out the window, a trail of sparks following it, and quickly changed gears.

The car engine roared, and it suddenly shot out, rushing out of the gate, making a beautiful drift, the tires screeching against the road, and the car sped down the winding mountain road.

Qiaoyun, sitting in the back seat, swayed from side to side, her face changing, finally experiencing Lin Zixian's demonic driving skills...
