Tang Xiaohua gazed at Wen Nian with those almond-shaped eyes of hers, his eyes closed, eyelashes dense and long.
He was kissing her, as if he wanted to devour her entire small mouth.
She did not resist...
The military backpack slung over her shoulder dropped to the ground with a "thump," alongside a tear that slipped from Tang Xiaohua’s eye.
No matter how much she had steeled her heart, in front of him, steel turned soft.
Wrapping her arms around Wen Nian’s waist, she slowly ran her hands up his back. A small responsive move made Wen Nian tighten his arms once more, deepening their kiss fervently.
Actually, this position was quite uncomfortable, but he didn’t want to stop. He feared that if he stopped at this mont, he might never find another chance to kiss her.
His heart was pounding wildly...
It was painful yet sour yet sweet yet warm...
Both her and Wen Nian felt the sa.
At thirty-seven, she had never thought that she could once again experience the sensation of kissing Wen Nian that quickened her heartbeat.
Forget everything. Even if a villain broke in at this mont and shot each of them, they seed to care not.
When Lu Ziqing burst in, what he saw was exactly this scene.
He was stunned, unable to snap back to reality for a long ti.
A sharp pain gripped his chest... what one can let go for a minute, might not be able to let go for an hour.
What could Lu Ziqing do? They should have been together long ago...
It was Tang Xiaohua who first noticed Lu Ziqing. She gave Wen Nian a nudge, but perhaps the force was too light, it did not budge him, instead, it caused Wen Nian to hold her even tighter.
"Enough, enough..."
Tang Xiaohua stamred with a flushed face.
Wen Nian looked at her.
"Commander Lu is here..."
She said softly, and only then did Wen Nian turn around to see Lu Ziqing. Lu Ziqing walked in as if nothing was out of the ordinary,
"Mr. President, seventeen ard mbers from M-country, thirteen killed, four apprehended. Our officer from the Police Departnt, Song Yangling, is injured."
Lu Ziqing calmly reported the situation to Wen Nian.
"Is he badly hurt?"
Tang Xiaohua asked anxiously.
"He was shot in the abdon and has been rushed to the hospital for ergency treatnt."
After Lu Ziqing finished speaking, Tang Xiaohua furrowed her brows in worry, and Lu Ziqing sighed, "There should be no life-threatening danger."
Tang Xiaohua’s complexion was still grave, clearly worried about Song Yangling’s condition.
Lu Ziqing continued his report,
"Dangerous items are being swept for by our soldiers inside the building. Please, Mr. President, leave this place first. Minister Long has already prepared a car waiting for you in the hall."
Wen Nian nodded.
Tang Xiaohua picked up the backpack from the ground and turned to Lu Ziqing, "Commander, is there anything I need to do?"
This question surprised Wen Nian. He furrowed his brows and, not waiting for Lu Ziqing to respond, directly questioned Tang Xiaohua,
"Guard Tang, there’s only one thing you should be doing, and that’s to protect ."
Lu Ziqing pulled a wry smile, saying to Tang Xiaohua,
"Go on, with such a worry-inducing Mr. President, he indeed needs soone to protect him."
The underlying aning in Lu Ziqing’s words was not hard to detect.
Wen Nian didn’t take umbrage, pretending not to hear, and took Tang Xiaohua’s hand to move forward.
Tang Xiaohua hurriedly withdrew her hand, "Stop ssing around."
Wen Nian saw that she was unwilling, so he did not persist any longer. As they descended the stairs, Long Siyan was walking in their direction.
"Mr. President, I apologize for my late arrival, Long Siyan."
"You’ve already done very well; it’s my own issue."
Long Siyan pressed his lips together tightly. The somber-looking Minister of Police Affairs seed to have a thousand words to say, but Wen Nian raised his hand to stop him before he could speak,
"Whatever it is, we’ll talk during the day tomorrow. For now, let’s head back to the President Mansion."
"...Yes," Long Siyan complied.
Tang Xiaohua followed Wen Nian into the car, and just as Long Siyan was about to join them, Wen Nian stopped him,
"You take another car."
"Mr. President...?"
Long Siyan was taken aback, but Wen Nian didn’t give him the chance to respond and closed the door.
The space inside the business vehicle was large, and the facilities were very comfortable.
Tang Xiaohua was sitting opposite Wen Nian. He gave her several aningful glances, signaling her to sit next to him, but Tang Xiaohua pretended not to notice. She opened the window a crack, and the cool evening air rushed in imdiately.
The wind blew against her clothes, soaked with sweat, bringing a bit of chilliness and keeping Tang Xiaohua’s mind alert.
She kept her gaze outside the window, while Wen Nian leaned back on the couch, truly helpless...
On the blocked roads, the barricades had yet to be removed. Moving away from the sealed-off section, the roads were nearly empty; after all, it was approaching midnight.
This long, harrowing half a night left the whole Anlin City restless, I bet.
The car drove steadily, at an unhurried pace...
With Lu Ziqing and the ard police at the accident site to finish up, there was surely no need to worry.
But the terrifying five minutes earlier had caused Tang Xiaohua’s nerves to stretch too tight.
She had been on many missions before, yet never once had she experienced such an extre state of tension.
The bomb package was expertly constructed; one could tell at a glance that it was not the work of ordinary troops.
The political situation in M country had been very unstable for the past two years, with predictions of an impending civil war brewing.
Yet, how could the rebel army of M country think to co to Anlin City to extort the governnt of G country?
Tang Xiaohua had no way of knowing the reason but instinctively felt that the rebel army of M country must have been driven to desperate straits to resort to such tactics.
However, since rebels had been captured, results should be forthcoming relatively soon.
As Tang Xiaohua thought this, she saw a figure in a black cloak walking on the deserted street.
His steps were steady and light; Tang Xiaohua almost instantly concluded that this was soone with military training.
The way the G country’s military trained its soldiers left so traces in their behavior.
But at this ti, why here...?
Tang Xiaohua was quite puzzled. It only took two or three seconds for the car to pass by, but in that instant, the wind from the passing car lifted his cloak, and the silver hair hidden underneath shone beneath the streetlight.
Tang Xiaohua’s heartbeat skipped a beat!
Could it be...
The cloaked man lifted his head, his gaze turned towards their car. Whether it was Tang Xiaohua’s misperception or not, their eyes t.
His blue eyes appeared dark and eerie in the night.
Piecing together with his slight stature, Tang Xiaohua was almost one hundred percent certain... he was Qing Luo!
Qing Luo was from M country; why was he suddenly appearing here?
And right after a kidnapping and extortion incident had just occurred, with all the culprits being rebels from M country!
"Stop the car—!"
Tang Xiaohua urgently shouted!
The driver hesitated, and Wen Nian was just as puzzled, but he still instructed the driver to stop.
Tang Xiaohua leaped out of the car, yet the figure in the black cloak had turned into the nearest alleyway the mont the car stopped!
She gave chase, but by then, Qing Luo’s figure had already vanished.
