The person in charge of the entire team this time was Wen Xian’s husband, and they had heard a bit about his mysterious background and identity.
After disembarking the plane, everyone gathered, and Lu Xiao said,
"Everyone has worked hard on this trip. We are now heading to the rendezvous point. We have been informed that representatives from other countries are also about to arrive."
"Captain Lu and Miss Wen have also worked hard!"
Smiling brightly, Wen Xian watched as Lu Xiao told everyone to relax, contact him if there were any issues, and specifically emphasized some important safety measures.
With her sunglasses on, Wen Xian had the face of an adoring fan as she watched Lu Xiao; she thought Captain Lu looked extremely cool and charming when he was serious.
They took a taxi from the airport and went straight to their destination.
It wasn’t that Wen Xian had never been abroad; on the contrary, she had been many times, yet she had never felt as eager as she did this time.
Some minutes later, they arrived at their accommodations.
In this place, there were not only locals but also travelers from various countries.
Lu Xiao got in touch with the head of the organization, a man named David from the U.S., who was hurrying to welcome them.
Wen Xian, meanwhile, was stunned by the scenery nearby after they got out of the car and walked a bit further.
Their lodging was a seaside resort.
The front desk of the guesthouse was surprisingly an open-air thatch canopy, with a wooden stick hanging above it, surrounded by shady green trees. The paths were all laid with pebbles and white fine sand.
During this season, some soft and lush wisteria vines intertwined along the corridors, and the curtains were made of colorful seashells, exuding a tropical charm.
Their team’s photography enthusiast was already itching to start taking pictures of the surroundings with his camera.
While Lu Xiao was connecting with the project’s head, Wen Xian sat on her suitcase on the steps of the thatched canopy, gazing at the distant sea.
Everything seemed very beautiful.
However, Wen Xian wasn’t aware that, a few hundred meters away, at a seaside guesthouse on the second floor, a person dressed in white was looking through a high-powered telescope in her direction.
When their gaze landed on her figure, the corners of their lips slowly curled up.
They then picked up a camera and began to take pictures without leaving any trace...
As Wen Xian was gazing at the sea, Lu Xiao had already taken care of the accommodation arrangements. As he turned to speak to her, his body suddenly tensed.
Immediately his gaze snapped in a certain direction, sharp and intense like an eagle.
In the direction of his gaze, all that was visible was a white curtain billowing slightly in the wind at a guesthouse hundreds of meters away.
Lu Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
At that moment, Wen Xian turned back and saw his face looking somewhat serious and stern, raising her eyebrows slightly,
"Dear, what’s wrong?"
As she spoke, she also looked curiously in that direction.
In the early morning, there were only a few people running on the beach, and nothing else seemed amiss.
Yet, Lu Xiao took her luggage in hand and, with his arm around her shoulder, spoke softly,
"Nothing, let’s go. We’ll head to our room first."
No matter what, the trip itself carried a degree of risk, and he certainly wouldn’t be at ease if he wasn’t present.
The six of them were divided into three rooms.
Their assistant was also a girl, so—
