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
As Lin Xilan glanced at the rearview mirror, her heart raced as she noticed two ominous black sedans tailing them closely. Despite Axl's attempts to outmaneuver them and leave them behind, the pursuers showed remarkable tenacity, keeping up with their high-speed chase. It was a confirmation of Axl's suspicion that they were indeed being relentlessly pursued.Her frown deepened as the gravity of the situation sank in. Someone in the capital city had the audacity to target her so openly, which was simply unacceptable.Anger welled up inside her, however, her anger gave way to curiosity, and she turned her gaze towards Axl, seeking answers, "How did you know they were following us?" she asked, her voice tinged with a mix of suspicion and intrigue.Axl's brow furrowed deeper. Although he intended to ignore her, he understood that he needed to address her concerns now to prevent any further disturbances, and besides, it was her boss.He looked at Lin Xilan and
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. Axl instinctively hit the brakes, attempting to employ his previous ruse to deceive them once again."Not this time!" the driver, aware of Axl's ploy, abruptly floored the gas pedal and rammed
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
