Lu Haiqiao went to get the car alone and didn’t let Xie Xuan walk her out.
After she left, Xie San immediately reported, “Master, Old Master was attacked in Country M.”
Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes. “What?”
Xie San’s expression was filled with worry. “This morning, the old master arranged to meet a friend. On the way to the appointment, he was attacked. The bullet grazed his arm. Fortunately, it was only a superficial wound.”
“Who did it?” Xie Xuan walked to the wide window and took in the entire map of the eastern business park.
Xie San was here to report this, so they must have found out something.
Xie San said, “All the attackers were killed, but..
Xie Xuan asked, “But what?”
Xie San said “The other party used Colt M2000, so I guess they’re the same group of people who injured Bin.”
Xie Xuan said, “Are you saying that some of them got away?”
Hearing this, Xie San lowered his head. “Please punish me, Master!”
Back then, the order was to “wipe out their nest”. Now that someone had escaped, it meant that the mission had failed, and they had to be punished.
“Forget it.” Xie Xuan’s voice sounded very calm. “Go and get prepared. Inform
Xie Da and Xie Er to set off for Country M immediately.”
“Yes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xuan called out to him, “San.”
Xie San stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Yes, Master.”
With one hand behind his back, Xie Xuan stared at him for a while and said, “You don’t have to go this time. Stay in B City.”
Xie San was stunned. “Master!”
This trip to Country M would definitely be dangerous. How could he not go?
“You stay here and protect Haiqiao.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie San widened his eyes in disbelief. “Master, if I make a mistake, you can punish me. No matter how harsh it is, I won’t complain!”
However, he couldn’t protect that girl.
Xie Xuan slowly approached him. “This isn’t a punishment. It’s an order. If they can lay their hands on my father, they’ll find out about my relationship with Haiqiao. I can’t let anything happen to her.”
Not even the slightest bit!
“But…”
Without waiting for Xie San to finish, Xie Xuan looked straight at him with a cold gaze. “I don’t need to repeat myself, right?”
Those words meant that he was really angry.
Xie San didn’t dare to say anything else. He lowered his head and replied reluctantly, “Yes.”
“I don’t want to ruin her usual lifestyle, so don’t let her know that someone is secretly protecting her,” Xie Xuan added.
Lu Haiqiao drove away from the park. She gradually slowed down when she saw the traffic light at the intersection ahead turn red.
She stepped on the brakes and stopped behind a white car. While waiting, she looked out of the car window.
She thought back to what happened just then.
She walked into the elevator. Just before the doors closed, Xie Xuan looked at her and moved his lips. At the same time, he placed his hand on his chest.
The words weren’t complicated. Lu Haiqiao could easily tell that he was asking her, “Got it?”
So was there another meaning to the action of placing his hand over his heart?
Was it “you’re in my heart”?
Or “I have you in my heart”?
Either way seemed to make sense, but when she thought about it carefully, neither seemed right.
So what was it?
Lu Haiqiao frowned in distress.
At this moment, her phone, which she had thrown in the passenger seat, suddenly rang.
An unread WeChat message popped up on the bright screen.
The red light still had over 20 seconds left. Lu Haiqiao picked up her phone and
unlocked it..
