At night, in Lin Xilan's villa, after finishing her meal and washing up, she slumped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Initially, she had intended to sleep right away, but she couldn't help tossing and turning. Sleep seemed to elude her completely.

Her mind was filled with hazy scenes from the day. What had transpired was completely unexpected to her. She never imagined that someone would dare to harm her in this vast capital city.

"Huh, do you think I'm afraid? Do you think you can control the entire city with your own hands?" Lin Xilan snickered and stood up. In the end, she was still a prominent figure in the Capital city and held some power and connections.

She also realized that she had let her guard down too much. If Axl hadn't been there today, she might have lost her life. Thinking about this, she recalled the heroic image of Axl fighting and struggling to protect her in the blurry scenes. Even without witnessing it directly, just imag

    Upon hearing Lin Xilan's question, Axl furrowed his brow. 'What is she thinking now? But this is also my chance...' Axl pondered. Despite knowing that involving Lin Xilan in this conflict would put her in danger, he felt he had no other choice. She had already become deeply entangled in the aftermath of this incident, and he knew she must have vowed to seek revenge. And her target? It had to be... the Ye family. Lin Xilan's mind must have been filled with confusion and disbelief as she grappled with the sudden realization that she had become the target of an assassination attempt. Throughout her years of involvement in business and politics, her clashes with the Ye family had always remained within those realms, never escalating to such a dangerous level. The audacity to orchestrate such an overt assassination suggested that they held deep resentment towards her, surpassing the boundaries of mere business or political rivalry. It was evident that they

    "Auntie, what happened to you?" Axl looked at Lin Xilan's flushed face, concerned that she might have suffered some internal injury earlier. "N-Nothing, please continue," Lin Xilan tried her best to cover her embarrassment and waved her hand at Axl, indicating that she was okay now. Axl sighed in relief. "It's actually quite simple. The Ye family elders are not alone. They keep a close eye on each other's movements. If one elder takes action, the others will know because they have spies among them. According to what senior brother told me, the Ye family has a rule that prohibits them from harming each other. So if one elder acts and is discovered by the others, their qualifications for succession will be forfeited," Axl explained slowly to her. Upon hearing this, Lin Xilan's expression changed as she looked into Axl's eyes once again. "Then why is it the Long family?" Axl smirked and analyzed it for her. "Ah, it's quite simple, Auntie." <

    Axl took a deep breath and put on a professional smile. "Of course, Auntie. Allow me to assist you," he replied, trying to sound unaffected by her. As Axl helped Lin Xilan to her bedroom, his mind was in turmoil. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards her, but he also knew the boundaries and responsibilities of his position and life. The shackles that he felt towards him when he woke up in this world. The last thing he wanted was to jeopardize their relationship and add more responsibilities to his shoulders. Even he himself cannot guarantee his own life now. 'But this is too much' Axl wants to cry, but no tears come out. Once they reached her bedroom, Axl gently guided Lin Xilan to sit on the edge of the bed. "Is there anything else you need, Auntie?" He asked, keeping his tone as calm as possible. Lin Xilan looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mix of longing and uncertainty. "No, that's all. Thank you, Axl," she replied softly "

    At night, Lin Xilan found herself unable to fall asleep as she lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Her face was flushed from the effects of the red wine she had consumed, which had left her slightly intoxicated. However, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Axl throughout the day. The image of him standing up bravely in a daze to confront the mysterious killers who wanted to kill her kept replaying in her thoughts. She couldn't forget the warmth of his touch as he hugged her to protect her from the explosion as well as when he lifted her up, nor the way he administered emergency medical aid and performed artificial respiration. Just thinking about it caused Lin Xilan's face to blush even more. Fortunately just now, Ye Feng has just come. If now, maybe...? 'Ahhh, Lin Xilan, what are you thinking?!' Overwhelmed by her emotions, she couldn't help but bury her face in the bedcovers, feeling as vulnerable as a little girl. 'What should I do?'

    The tension in the room escalated gradually, as Long Sha's bodyguards swiftly drew their pistols and aimed them directly at Axl.In that heart-stopping moment, it felt as if time had frozen, and the imminent threat of a fatal gunshot hung in the air.Even Long Sha's once composed face now became expressionless, as he now wore a cold, sinister expression as he locked eyes with Axl.Everywhere you looked, the atmosphere reeked of hostility, and a palpable sense of impending doom pervaded the room. Had an ordinary person stumbled upon this scene, they would have undoubtedly succumbed to fear, their very consciousness fading away.Yet, despite the barrels of the guns pointed at him, Axl remained unflinching.His countenance displayed an unwavering calmness, almost as if he considered the bodyguards' weapons to be nothing more than mere props. Even Long Sha's eyes, filled with malevolence and murderous intent, failed to elicit a reaction from Axl.<

    Long Sha smiled and reached his hand into the drawer, pulling out an ATM card. He turned to Axl and said, "You are now a valuable asset to us. I appreciate your abilities. Consider this money as compensation for the incident.""Thank you, boss," Axl replied calmly, accepting the ATM card with a flat expression and maintaining an upright sitting position, ready to listen to Long Sha's next instructions.As expected, Long Sha's tone turned serious as he continued, "Furthermore, let me make this clear. Whether your previous words were true or false, I hope you won't hold any grudges against my son. If I find out that you harbor ill intentions and seek revenge against him, I will not hesitate to kill you.""Yes," Axl replied, maintaining his impassive demeanor. However, deep inside, he couldn't help but complain about Long Sha.'What a son-slave. Why does he have to deal with this annoying second-generation rich kid who only knows how to cause trouble?

    The man stepped in front of Axl, towering over him while Axl gazed up at him in awe. It was no wonder Long Sha was so unconcerned about his security. With this imposing figure as his shadow, radiating an unmistakable aura of danger, anyone who dared to approach Long Sha would scatter in fear.'Dang, this guy is massive. So, the intense presence I felt in the room earlier was all because of him,' Axl thought, realizing the source of the ominous feeling he had experienced.Previously, when he found himself surrounded by Long Sha's bodyguards, with guns pointed at him, Axl had assessed the number of steps required to eliminate Long Sha. However, something had unsettled him. His heightened senses had detected a hidden threat lurking in the shadows. Mistakenly assuming it was the accumulation of hostile intent from the bodyguards, Axl now understood that it had been the man standing before him."Boss forgot to give you this," the burly man stated, and at that moment,

    The next day, early in the morning, Axl woke up and went about his usual morning routines before sitting down for breakfast. However, this morning had a peculiar twist to it. Axl found himself eating breakfast with Lin Xilan, his boss, sitting right across from him. It wasn't a usual occurrence, but there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about it. They simply shared a normal breakfast together.After finishing his meal, Axl prepared to head to the parking lot where Lin Xilan usually parked her cars. Being the CEO of a prestigious company in the capital city, it was expected for her to own more than one vehicle. But just as he was about to leave, Lin Xilan stopped him in his tracks."No need. Ye Feng has already parked the car we'll be using today. It's already prepared. Here's the key," Lin Xilan said calmly, her gaze still focused on the newspaper in front of her.Axl nodded in acknowledgement and took the key before heading outside to warm up the

    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. After a brief moment, a message popped up, indicating that the money had been successfully transferred to his bank account.Axl picked up his phone and confirmed the deposited amount, nodding in approval."Alright then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Axl said, turning around and walking away.Unbeknownst to Axl, Wen Yuci, who stood behind him, gazed at him intently.

    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

    Unaware of her thoughts, Axl, who was already halfway into Wen Yuci's office, was shocked by her outburst.'What the hell? Does she want to kill me?!' Axl's heart raced, and his senses heightened to the maximum as Wen Yuci's outburst took him by surprise.The memories of the bomb that had exploded in Ye Feng's car were still fresh in his mind, leaving him on edge and hyperaware of any potential threats. In that moment, Axl's instincts kicked in, reminding him to stay vigilant and prepared for any danger. However, when he looked at his surroundings, he quickly realized the woman in front of him was the culprit.Irritated, Axl's frown deepened as he found Wen Yuci's question to be rather strange. "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. The situation made perfect sense to him, as he was aware of the persistent and troublesome nature of Long Tao's pursuit.Axl's concern intensified as he worried
