In the past two days, Xiao Yun had been following Yu Feng, but she didn't notice anything amiss. She neither spotted anyone following them nor detected any snipers lurking in the dark. Maybe the enemy had given up?
"I don't think it'll be that easy," Yu Feng said, stroking his chin. "You don't understand. Generally speaking, if an assassination attempt has been made and failed, they won't just give up like that."
Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Yun bit her lip. If that was the case, she'd have to protect Yu Feng for some more time. Sigh...
"Why are you sighing?" Yu Feng asked.
"Sigh. Just thinking about having to stay with you for a while longer gives me a headache," Xiao Yun said, looking distressed.
Yu Feng took a moment to process her words, then got angry. "You tomboy. You actually have balls? I underestimated you!"
"..." Xiao Yun rolled her eyes. "Childish!"
Surprisingly, Yu Feng didn't start arguing back. Instead, he said, "I'm going to another city for a meeting tomorrow."
"Another city?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Yeah."
"How long will you be gone?" Xiao Yun asked.
"I'll be back in the afternoon."
Xiao Yun nodded. "What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Eight in the morning."
"Okay, I got it."
She got it? Her response was a bit too natural, wasn't it? "You..." Yu Feng was silent for a moment. "You're not going with me, are you?"
"Yeah."
It was a task assigned by Su Yuze, and of course she had to follow it. What if something really happened to Yu Feng?
"Oh, you..." Yu Feng originally didn't want her to go with him because... the business he was going to handle this time wasn't related to the company. It was some underground deals. Somehow, he didn't want Xiao Yun to know about it.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yun asked.
Yu Feng looked at her face. She was so delicate and innocent. Although she was Su Yuze's subordinate, probably because she'd spent a long time with Su Rou, she still seemed very naive. And those deals... "Can't you not go?"
"No."
"I think I'll be fine in the other city," Yu Feng said. "And it's only for one day. There should be no problem."
Xiao Yun still shook her head. "No."
"You..." Yu Feng was a bit frustrated. "Why are you so stubborn? I'm not going for a proper job this time."
Xiao Yun looked at Yu Feng. "Then, give me your reasons." It seemed that Yu Feng had some concerns, but no matter what the reasons were, Xiao Yun had made up her mind to just listen. She'd still go with him.
"Fine..." Yu Feng thought for a while. Maybe if he told her, she wouldn't want to go. "I said, you should know the nature of Young Master Yu's job, right?" Su Yuze not only did legitimate business but also had contacts with the underworld. So occasionally, there would be some arms deals. Originally, it should have been Su Yuze who went, but now he had to accompany Su Rou. Where did he have the time? So he had to ask Yu Feng to do it for him.
"Yeah."
"So, you know," Yu Feng said. "It's better for girls not to go to such occasions."
After hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded. She quite agreed with Yu Feng's words.
Seeing her nod, Yu Feng thought she had agreed. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Good. It's good that you agreed." After all, it was for her own good.
"I didn't agree," Xiao Yun said. "I'll still go with you."
"..."
Damn it! All his words just now were in vain!
...
In the end, Xiao Yun still set off with Yu Feng. Even during the meeting and business negotiation, Xiao Yun stayed by his side. As a result, the other party looked at him mockingly. "Yo, Young Master Feng, why did you bring your girlfriend to do business?"
"Ah... She, she is my bodyguard," Yu Feng said awkwardly. Now he had been labeled as unprofessional.
Bodyguard?
Everyone looked at Xiao Yun. They found that Xiao Yun didn't show too many expressions. She just stood there quietly, as if she was really a bodyguard.
Xiao Yun cooperated quite well!
After the deal was done, Yu Feng couldn't help but praise her. "Fortunately, you behaved well and didn't say anything stupid."
On the way back, Xiao Yun was sitting in the passenger seat, playing with her phone. After hearing Yu Feng's words, she couldn't help but reply, "Yu Feng, let me explain something."
"Ah?"
"The reason I cooperated was that I didn't want others to misunderstand that we were in that kind of relationship. To be honest, I really don't want to have a boyfriend like you." Did Yu Feng misunderstand something? She just didn't want to be misunderstood, not to help him.
"..." While driving, Yu Feng took a quick look at her. This woman really never said anything nice.
Xiao Yun blew on her fingernails. "Yu Feng, drive home quickly. I'm tired."
"Yeah."
The place where Yu Feng did business was in the neighboring city. The drive wasn't very long. If they drove fast, it would only take an hour.
After driving for about half an hour, Yu Feng's face suddenly became a bit solemn. Xiao Yun also noticed it. "Yu Feng, drive faster."
"This is the highway!" There were speed limits after all.
"They have guns," Xiao Yun looked at the cars behind them. A pistol was sticking out of the window.
Bang!
Yu Feng quickly turned the steering wheel sharply. The whole car was shaking. Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the highway. Otherwise, Yu Feng's action would definitely have caused a series of rear - end collisions!
"Be careful," Xiao Yun said.
"Yeah, I know."
Xiao Yun looked behind. Two cars were following them, and people in them were pointing pistols at them. "Damn it!" Xiao Yun was a bit angry. She should have brought a gun with her when she went out today.
In order to avoid the cars behind, Yu Feng could only keep driving in an "S" shape. The gunshots behind kept ringing.
"This won't work," Xiao Yun shouted at Yu Feng. "Floor it!"
Yu Feng frowned. He had no other choice... He'd go to the police station to clear the speeding record later.
Bang!
Yu Feng's car turned the steering wheel forcefully. The car body shook violently. Because of this sudden movement, Xiao Yun's whole body crashed to the side uncontrollably. "Yu Feng, drive properly... What's wrong with you?"
She smelled a strange odor in the air. She looked at Yu Feng strangely and saw that his face was covered in fine sweat. "You..." His white shirt was already stained red with blood.
Yu Feng gritted his teeth. "I've been shot."
"Can you still drive?" Xiao Yun asked worriedly when she saw him driving with one hand.
"I'll try..."
Xiao Yun gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she unbuckled her seat - belt, then leaned forward and took control of the steering wheel, which scared Yu Feng. "What are you doing? This is very dangerous!"
"Stop fucking talking nonsense. Step on the gas!"
