Two more days had passed, and Axl found himself in a comfortable state. He couldn't quite understand why, but Lin Xilan had been unusually friendly towards him lately.  She had become increasingly warm and friendly towards him, a stark contrast to their initial cold encounters. Although he was puzzled by this sudden change, he chose not to dwell on it too much. As long as he had her support, she could do as she pleased. After all, it made his position more comfortable, didn't it?

After having breakfast, Axl drove Lin Xilan to the company as he always did. Once they arrived, he got out of the car and opened the back door, allowing Lin Xilan to exit.

"Mother! Junior brother!"

Before they could make their way to the office, Ye Feng's voice rang out and he appeared, walking towards them with a broad smile. He greeted Axl, his junior brother, and lightly embraced Lin Xilan, his mother.

Observing the scene, Axl realized that his senior brother had successf

    Inside the office, an atmosphere of silence enveloped the surroundings as Lin Xilan diligently immersed herself in the company documents. Meanwhile, Axl stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the bustling parking lot below. Deep down, he knew that if his intuition was correct, today would mark the incident that would lead to Lin Xilan's untimely demise, plunging the capital city into chaos.'No matter what, I must prevent her death,' Axl thought resolutely, his mind consumed by the task that lay ahead, his eyes never leaving the window. Suddenly, the stillness was shattered by the sound of Lin Xilan's voice, snapping Axl back to reality."What's wrong with you? What are you up to now?" she inquired, her tone cold with a tinge of annoyance.Axl noticed the peculiar expression on Lin Xilan's face as she scrutinized him.Something clicked in his mind as he was aware immediately that his behavior had been unusual throughout the day. Normally, upon their arriv

    After arriving at the office, Axl paused just before pushing the door open, only to find Lin Xilan already holding her handbag and car keys, indicating her intention to leave. Confused by this sudden turn of events, Axl wanted to ask her about it."Boss, you--""I thought you would need more time, but I'm in a hurry, so I'll head out myself," Lin Xilan interrupted Axl's words.Axl was taken aback. 'What? He's only going out for a couple of minutes, and she already wants to leave me? This cold queen is really hard to please,' Axl thought to himself but didn't voice his frustration. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice, "No, I'm your bodyguard now. If I leave you alone for too long, who will ensure your safety?"Upon hearing this, Lin Xilan was momentarily stunned.She hadn't expected Axl to respond this way. His usually cold demeanor instantly melted with his words. It was the first time since her husband's death that someone showed genuine concern for

    "What's the matter?" Long Sha inquired, his gaze fixed on the screen.Butler Qing respectfully lowered his head and spoke, "Master, the undercover operative from the Ye family contacted me just now.""What did they say?" Long Sha asked, his eyes narrowing with intensity."It's about the young master..." Butler Qing cautiously observed Long Sha's reaction and proceeded to recount Axl's encounter at the Lin Xilan company.Long Sha's expression remained inscrutable as he listened. Once Butler Qing finished, Long Sha scrutinized him and asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"Butler Qing broke into a cold sweat, "Master, I believe this is absurd. How could the young master be involved in such actions, as planting a bomb on someone's car? Who would believe that? Furthermore, where would he obtain a bomb? Allow me to offer my analysis."Long Sha fell silent for a moment, then waved his hand, dismissing Butler Qing.Relieved, Butler

    Behind the two black Mercedes-Benzes that were chasing behind the Lamborghini, a man in black suit couldn't help but curse as he watched the car in front of them."Damn it! How did this kid find us?!"Realizing that they had been left behind twice already, he also realized that they had already noticed they were being followed. Fortunately, their car had already been modified so that they could keep up with the Lamborghini."Step on it! Drive faster!" he instructed the black-clad driver, urgency evident in his voice._____Inside the Lamborghini, Axl couldn't help frowning when he saw that the sedans behind them had already approached them and were getting closer and closer."Shit" he cursed silently, and he had a headache now.Lin Xilan remained stoic, her expression devoid of any emotion, but deep down she was worried. Even her grip on the handle tightened with each passing moment.Initially, she wanted to vent her frustratio

    "Damn it, we can't let him escape!" the furious man in black growled at the driver, his gun poised and ready.His anger surged within him, fueled by the fact that he had been played by a mere child. But now, all that mattered was following the young master's orders—to eliminate the threat at any cost.Axl's senses heightened as he noticed two black sedans inching closer, his gaze briefly darting toward the nearby building. Time was running out, but he held onto a glimmer of hope, silently praying for just a little more time to accomplish his objective."Just a little bit more," he silently prayed, hoping for some kind of intervention.*BAM*However, what he witnessed next drained the color from his face. The adversaries had escalated to firearms.

    Lin Xilan, who had earlier fainted, was now feeling dizzy and disoriented. She had witnessed a figure emerging from the car and engaging in a fierce fight with several men dressed in black suits, but the details were blurry. After shaking her head lightly, she saw a crimson liquid splattered on the road and a figure clad in a black suit. Her heart clenched because her bodyguard, Axl, typically wore a similar black suit. She couldn't help but wonder, "Who was it?" Her thoughts were in disarray as she mustered her strength and opened the car door. She took unsteady steps, intending to reach the injured person. However, as she tried to approach the man, dizziness overcame her once again, and she collapsed, losing consciousness. But before everything faded, she caught a glimpse of someone sprinting towards her. "Who is it?" she wondered desperately. "Am I going to die?" ___ After Axl had dealt with the group of killers who targeted him, he

    "Why is there so much blood on your body? Are you injured? It looks so serious!" Lin Xilan looked at Axl, who was covered in blood, with a panicked expression on her face. She didn't know why, but instead of feeling panic or fear upon seeing Axl in this state, what she felt was distress and worry. It was as if she was afraid of losing Axl. She quickly moved toward him and fumbled with his shirt, wanting to see his injury. Axl, initially confused by her actions, quickly regained his composure and grabbed her hands. "Boss, don't worry. I am fine right now," he said. "But—" Lin Xilan tried to interrupt, but Axl cut her off. "It's you, boss. How do you feel? Are you experiencing any discomfort? Are you hurt anywhere?" Upon hearing Axl's questions, although he was still concerned about himself, Lin Xilan was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but be moved. She felt that Axl was indeed different from the people she had come into contact with befo

    Seeing Axl's fearless demeanor, Wen Yuci couldn't help but feel curious about his true identity. How could he be so confident and arrogant? However, she was aware that she barely knew Axl, and even if she were to ask him directly, he probably wouldn't reveal much.Suppressing her curiosity, Wen Yuci simply nodded in acknowledgment."Give me your number, and I'll transfer the money directly to you," she said, trying to maintain a sense of normalcy.Axl nodded and proceeded to provide her with his bank card number. As soon as he finished sharing the details, Wen Yuci hurriedly searched for her phone.

    As Axl watched Long Tao walk away, he couldn't help but analyze the potential consequences of the situation. He had expected Long Tao to recognize him instantly, but it seemed that was not the case.There were several possible explanations for this unexpected turn of events.Firstly, Axl considered the idea that Long Tao's excessive indulgence in alcohol and women may have significantly deteriorated his cognitive abilities. Such a lifestyle could have led to a decline in his memory, making it difficult for him to recall faces accurately.Secondly, Axl thought about the possibility that Long Tao was purposefully ignoring him, even if he did recognize him. It was conceivable that Long Tao had assumed Axl was already dead and that the resemblance between their faces was merely a coincidence.Thirdly, Axl entertained the notion that Long Tao might have been driven by a desire to show off his vanity and masculinity in front of Wen Yuci, disregarding any connection he may have had with Axl.

    In a burst of fury, Long Tao pointed a trembling finger at Axl, his voice laced with venomous rage. "How dare you! You are dead! Do you hear me? Dead!"Axl, on the other hand, seemed to take pleasure in the chaos he had caused. With a smug grin, he responded to Long Tao's threat, further provoking him. "The woman you like is in my arms!"Meanwhile, unbeknownst to both Long Tao and Axl, Wen Yuci found herself caught in the midst of this confrontation. Her face flushed with embarrassment and anger, and she struggled to make sense of the situation. The conflicting emotions within her caused her cheeks to burn, fueling her fury as she stood there, feeling trapped and unsure of how to proceed.In this particular scene, Wen Yuci found herself inadvertently caught up in Axl's manipulative scheme. Initially, she had planned to use Axl as a shield, hoping that his presence would divert Long Tao's attention and buy her some time to relax. However, she never anticipated that Axl, this audacious

    *TAP*TAP*TAPWith a confident stride, Long Tao entered Wen Yuci's office as if he owned the place. He carried a bouquet of flowers and directed a soft gaze at Wen Yuci."Yuci, I've come to see you,"Wen Yuci furrowed her brows at his unannounced entrance, even disregarding the basic courtesy of knocking on the door. As a member of a prominent family that placed great importance on etiquette, Long Tao's actions earned him zero points from the start.Ignoring her reaction, Long Tao locked his gaze on Wen Yuci and spoke, "I've come to see you, and I've brought gifts. These flowers are just the beginning. I also purchased a supercar for you, parked downstairs."Wen Yuci, however, remained unaffected by his words. Being from the wealthy Wen family, material possessions held little sway over her. She held disdain for Long Tao due to his ignorance and incompetence, his constant pestering only served to exacerbate her feelings.Long Tao, sporting an oblivious smile, appeared unfazed by her in

"Why can't it be me?" He retorted, his voice tinged with annoyance.For a moment, Wen Yuci didn't immediately respond to Axl. Instead, she carefully scrutinized him from head to toe, her curiosity piqued about the true nature of Axl's relationship with Lin Xilan.

    Curious Heroine (1)

    On Axl's side, as he boarded the car and set off, he couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness that gripped him. His reluctance to go to Wen Yuci's company stemmed from his knowledge of an unfolding plot involving a troublesome second-generation rich man named Long Tao.How did he come to know about this plot? Well, it's not important how he acquired the information because it eventually unfolded as he predicted.Long Tao had been persistently pursuing Wen Yuci, determined to make her his own. Every single day, he would visit her company, pestering her incessantly. It seemed that the more she rejected him, the more determined he became.Long Tao's face-saving endurance grew stronger with each rejection. This is precisely why Axl felt a certain reluctance to accept the job in the first place.
