He didn’t go in and instead returned to his own place.
"Alright, you may leave." Antonio waved his hand impatiently.
He originally thought that Andong Feng Ling was aiming for Long Yubei’s position, but it turned out it wasn’t just him.
Indeed, without a powerful backer, how could Andong Feng Ling accomplish it all by himself, armed with nothing but bravery?
He was just a racer after all, could he even handle a helicopter?
Antonio sat quietly for a long time before finally sending a new message to Gu Lili: [Be sure to take care of your safety and carry a gun with you when you go out.]
Upon receiving this message, Lili’s keen instincts told her that Antonio must have got wind of some clues not in their favor. Fınd the newest release on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
She replied to him, which was rare: [Thank you.]
After finishing her juice, she then called Gu Xichen.
"I heard that the top assassin from Country T has come to Country S for a mission, but I don’t know who the target is. You must be cautious, and not carelessly lose your life. Master doesn’t want to meet you in the underworld so soon."
"The target is me," Gu Xichen told her, "I’ve already encountered them tonight. I wore a bulletproof vest, a bulletproof helmet, so I wasn’t hurt. They probably didn’t expect me to be prepared."
"What did the guy look like?"
"Guy? It was not a man, it was a woman," Gu Xichen replied, "I only saw her eyes, didn’t see the whole face. She admitted she was hired to kill me. Without guessing, I know who hired her. They didn’t hurt me last time, and now they have redoubled their efforts. It seems, as long as I’m alive, they mother and son will not rest."
"The top assassin from Country T is a woman?" Gu Lili was genuinely surprised, "I thought it was a man."
"No, this woman’s marksmanship is very precise. She took two shots at me, one at the back of the head and one at the heart, but because I was prepared, she missed this time," Gu Xichen’s tone carried weariness, "Lili, it feels so tiring to be alive. One moment of carelessness and you could lose your life. I’ve already talked to my father about this in private. He doesn’t believe it was her and her son, and even scolded me. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. I already know this, but I still mentioned it. Now, I really miss my mom. As long as she was alive, even though I rarely saw her, I knew she was there, and it felt like having a pillar in my heart."
"It’s not just you living this kind of life. We’ve been having a rough time lately, too. But... since your stepmom is so eager to pave the way for her son, then let’s make her efforts futile. For the sake of Master, I will help you."
Gu Xichen asked, "Do you need my assistance with anything?"
Gu Lili comfortably shifted her position and lay there, "The only thing you need to do is consolidate your own power and take a firm hold of Gu Group as soon as possible. If you can do this, you will never have to worry about your stepmother’s tricks again. After all, without giving her money to splurge, she won’t be able to make waves."
Despite the serious topic, Gu Xichen on the other end of the phone couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s the idea."
"That assassin will surely not let things go easily. Lock your doors and windows at night, and it’s best to have bodyguards on a 24-hour rotating shift. You should go to bed early, I’m sleepy."
"Alright." Gu Xichen hung up the phone, had a little drink, and also lay down to sleep.
