"Yes, see you tonight," Yu Zixuan waved, watching Xia Qingtian's private car gradually drive away, her heart growing more complicated.
Just then, her phone rang. The person on the other end asked, "Ling Lan, are we still following?"
"No need to follow anymore," Yu Zixuan's gaze shifted. "Recall everyone tracking Xia Qingtian. There's no need to follow her anymore."
"Then what about the Tang family's Mingzhu..." the other party seemed hesitant.
"I will find her," Yu Zixuan took a deep breath. "As long as she is alive, as long as she is in Z City, I will definitely find her."
"But..." the other side was still hesitant. This wasn't their original plan, was it?
"If something happens, I'll take responsibility alone," Yu Zixuan interrupted.
"Yes." Hearing Ling Lan say this, the other side said no more.
It was enough that someone was taking responsibility.
"Is there anything else recently?" Yu Zixuan was currently living at the Xia family's residence, so it was inconvenient to contact the organization directly. Thus, important matters were conveyed through intermediaries.
"Recently..." the person thought for a moment. "There are no other tasks from above. However, I heard that Gou Wen has defected."
"Gou Wen has defected?" Yu Zixuan's brows furrowed upon hearing this. How could Gou Wen defect?
Although she had never met this legendary figure, she had heard many stories about Gou Wen and secretly set Gou Wen as her goal.
If it were anyone else defecting, Yu Zixuan would find it plausible.
Gou Wen?
Would she defect?
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I heard that no one who went to pursue Gou Wen has returned alive," the person on the other end replied. "It's now designated as an SS-class mission, and many people are eager to try, but Gou Wen's strength is indeed formidable."
"SS!" Yu Zixuan was stunned, and then immediately thought of Xia Qingtian.
If she could kill Gou Wen and use the SS-class mission bounty as a trade to save Xia Qingtian's life...
Perhaps, it was feasible!
After inquiring about a few more things regarding Gou Wen, Yu Zixuan commanded, "If there is any more news about Gou Wen, inform me immediately."
"Ling Lan, your mission is to find the Tang family's Mingzhu, right?" the other person hesitated.
"Didn't you say Gou Wen is in Z City? Since she's in Z City, she might have other intentions. What if she's also here for this mission?" Yu Zixuan naturally wouldn't reveal her true intentions but found a reason the other party couldn't refute. "Since that's the case, it's better to be more prepared."
After a few more perfunctory remarks, Yu Zixuan hung up the phone and turned around with a grave expression.
To protect Xia Qingtian, Gou Wen must die by her hand, and only by her hand!
Meanwhile, Xia Qingtian returned to the Xia family and went straight to her bedroom, planning to have a good chat with Xia Qingyu in the evening and share the good news that she would accompany her to the world competition next month.
In the evening, before Xia Qingyu returned, two guests arrived at the Xia family's residence.
Xia Qingtian's heart skipped a beat upon seeing the arrivals. The other party was quite polite.
"Sorry to bother you."
"Mr. Gu?" Aunt Liu was also surprised to see the visitor. "My husband isn't back yet. I wonder why Mr. Gu..."
"I have already contacted President Xia. He will be here soon, so I'll just wait for him," Gu Yaoyang said.
"Oh, I see." Aunt Liu knew Gu Yaoyang had an appointment with Xia Honglang, so she didn't say anything more. She just instructed the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes and asked the servants to prepare tea and snacks. Finally, she looked at Xia Qingtian, who was standing by the stairs, lost in thought, and said, "Qingtian, please entertain our guests for Aunt Liu."
"Oh..." Xia Qingtian couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, so she had to steel herself and walk towards the sofa. "Why have you come, Mr. Gu?"
"I have something to discuss with President Xia," Gu Yaoyang replied, looking at Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian was dressed casually at the moment.
She wore a light pink short-sleeved t-shirt over loose, washed blue overalls. Her slender, fair legs were crossed, and white ruffled home socks were tucked into pink indoor slippers.
Her long, dark hair, usually let down over her shoulders, was loosely tied into a bun at the back of her head, revealing her swan-like neck.
The charm of a cute and energetic girl next door was striking.
"What couldn't be discussed at the company that you had to come all the way to someone's home?" Xia Qingtian's gaze flickered from Gu Yaoyang to the woman standing behind him.
What Xia Shang heard at the company was quite understated.
More than just a beautiful woman with a great figure, she had a truly amazing figure!
What did she eat to grow to this size?
Even Xia Qingtian, who never worried about her figure, couldn't help but grab a cushion to cover her chest, hugging it to herself to avoid any unnecessary comparisons.
So that's how it is...
[Men, regardless of the era, when presented with all kinds of beauties lined up, whether they are lolis, mature women, celestial maidens, or sweet girls... their final choice is always the one with a larger bust!]
This saying is true...
"There was a meeting that ran late. After contacting President Xia, it was decided at the last minute. I hope you'll forgive me if it caused any inconvenience," Gu Yaoyang noticed the displeasure in Xia Qingtian's tone and his gaze shifted slightly.
He didn't feel that overwhelming infatuation with Xia Qingtian today as he had last time.
What was going on?
What happened last time?
Gu Yaoyang was a little unsure.
Wen Yao, standing behind Gu Yaoyang, felt that Xia Qingtian's occasional glances at her were rather strange.
She had received many such strange looks since childhood.
After all, she had the appearance of an angel and the body of a devil since she was young, so it was unavoidable for ordinary people to stare.
Wen Yao thought for a moment, even comparing Xia Qingtian's features with her own, and finally her gaze fell on the cushion in front of Xia Qingtian's chest, and she let out a silent scoff.
"Yo~" At this moment, a hand from behind slapped Wen Yao's butt hard, making a loud "smack" sound. "Long time no see~ Tumbler!"
"Ah!" Wen Yao was startled by the sudden slap and turned around sharply, only to meet a smug smile. "Wen Jiu!"
This person always appeared and disappeared out of nowhere, and would also playfully touch her and give her strange nicknames!
Tumbler?
Wen Jiu was the tumbler!
"Here, here~" Wen Jiu's gaze swept from top to bottom over Wen Yao, whistling and saying with a smile, "Weren't you going to be a princess? Why are you back? I haven't heard anyone mention it."
