"Cough, cough!" Axl couldn't help but cough twice to mask his embarrassment upon hearing Lin Xilan's words. He quickly straightened up and pretended to be nonchalant. "Well, it was an interesting style."
Lin Xilan nodded knowingly, her eyes curving like a crescent moon as a smile played on her lips. The elevator reached their floor, and she returned to her usual cold demeanor. They walked into the office together, leaving the moment behind them.
Inside the office, Axl couldn't help but feel lingering curiosity and confusion about Lin Xilan's remark. What was that about?
Nah, he pushed back that thought and decided to focus on his work for now. He let the unanswered question fade into the background.
Arriving at the office, the first thing Lin Xilan did was find some documents. She rummaged through a drawer once more, retrieving a stack of papers and handing them to Axl. Axl, who held the documents, could see that they must be important. At least, that's w

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
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.
*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
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
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.
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. Her eyes
Axl was taken by surprise as Long Tao, accompanied by his goons and bodyguards, pointed directly at him and issued a swift instruction to his men. Sensing the impending danger, Axl realized that his only choice was to confront them head-on.Without wasting a moment, Axl swiftly removed his coat and propelled himself into the midst of the approaching crowd. Utilizing his extensive martial arts training, he skillfully incapacitated each bodyguard one by one. His movements were smooth and precise, causing the once-confident group to fall to the ground, their pained groans filling the air.After swiftly incapacitating Long Tao's men, Axl emerged from the altercation unharmed, except for his slightly disheveled hair. Ignoring his appearance, his focus remained fixed on Long Tao, who hurriedly retreated to a waiting car, desperate to escape.Silently and determinedly, Axl propelled himself towards the fleeing Long Tao, disregarding any obstacles in his path. With unwavering speed, he closed
