Pei Yufei expressed her agreement with Su Xing's words this time. If it really is them, Jing Yu needs to prepare for other matters outside. Su Xing, do you trust that I can protect you?
Su Xing looked at the proud and striking woman before him. Among millions of people, she was one of the most outstanding individuals, and he felt fortunate to have her by his side for protection, didn't he? Moreover, he wasn't truly a helpless woman; if it came down to it, he would fight tooth and nail. He wouldn't let himself be used as a pawn!
Pei Yufei and Gu Bai both appreciated Su Xing's attitude. "Then let's do this together. Gu Bai, you can guard from the outside. Once the two women are out, you can find a way to rescue them," Pei Yufei said, which made Gu Bai seem somewhat resistant.
Noticing his hesitation, Su Xing added, "I've always had female assistants by my side, and your appearance is too much like that of a military officer. If you reveal yourself too soon, it might make this mission even longer!"
Gu Bai scratched the back of his neck in silence. "Who exactly is my leader here? One is my sister-in-law, and the other is my deputy! Is there no hierarchy left?"
Hearing his helpless tone, both Su Xing and Pei Yufei couldn't help but chuckle. "Just bear with it! Who told you to respect us?"
The high praise given to Gu Bai left him speechless.
The streets in the afternoon carried a sense of calm tranquility, especially on the road leading to the suburban villa area where Su Xing was driving; it seemed as if no cars disturbed the peace.
While driving, Su Xing called Pei Yufei, who was following him in another car behind. "Miss Pei, your duty should be to protect more people rather than just me. If I encounter danger ahead, please prioritize your own safety!"
Pei Yufei lightly curled her lips in amusement. "Who do you think you are for me to heed your orders?"
"You all are such proud women!" Su Xing retorted.
Perhaps due to their forewarning about potential dangers, Su Xing was extremely cautious when meeting clients this time. However, unexpectedly, no incidents occurred as anticipated.
Since they had been detected by them, Zhan Ying naturally would not act recklessly at such a time! The assassins hidden in the woods along the roadside quietly observed Shen Jingyu. Those deployed came and went without taking any action when Su Xing passed by twice.
That evening, Pei Yufei could no longer hold back and sought out Shen Jingyu. "Captain Shen! Don't you think what you've done is deliberately alarming the enemy? Or are you intentionally delaying this mission? They are about to act! If Su Xing gets captured, it would be our best opportunity!"
Shen Jingyu looked coldly at the woman across from him. He could understand Pei Yufei's anger; however, his approach would not change.
No matter the circumstances, I will never gamble with the life of my woman!
Pei Major, I hope you can view this character calmly, without personal emotions clouding your judgment. In this situation, if Su Xing gets captured, in a position like Wu Shan's, it will be easy to defend but hard to attack. Not only can we not completely eradicate Zhan Ying's people, but we might also suffer unnecessary losses!
Pei Yufei crossed his arms and suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes slicing through Shen Jingyu's face like knives!
Pei Yufei unwillingly said, "You're doing this entirely to protect her! It's more about your own selfish desires and emotional attachments! You've just found a bunch of grand excuses for yourself!"
Shen Jingyu remained unfazed by the reprimand directed at him. His expression was extremely grim!
"Pei Yufei! Can you please watch your words?" Gu Bai quickly interjected to mediate. Neither of these two powerful figures was someone he could control when they were angry!
Pei Yufei glared at the two brothers before turning on his heel and storming out!
Shen Jingyu casually lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling between them.
"Brother, you haven't smoked in a long time!" Gu Bai's concern for Shen Jingyu was always evident.
Shen Jingyu took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke: "Xiao Bai, he’s not wrong. I do have selfish motives. I can't just stand by and watch your sister-in-law fall into the enemy's trap! I don’t want her safety to be a gamble! The poison in her body hasn’t been fully cured yet."
Gu Bai didn’t know how to comfort Shen Jingyu; he simply stayed quietly with him until Rong Xigu arrived.
The top-floor apartment of Xing Yu Mansion had become Shen Jingyu's temporary office. After Rong Xigu arrived, he didn’t say much—just kept him company with a few drinks.
Xiang Yi is downstairs with your wife! Recently, Su Xing has been intentionally avoiding them, simply wanting to keep them safer. It would be best to resolve this matter sooner rather than later. We can keep an eye on them closely, but we can't remain in this situation indefinitely.
Jing Yu, after completing this task, there will be others waiting for us. Your mother’s health may not hold up for long; it’s time to bring your father back.
The bitterness in Shen Jingyu's heart was something he wouldn’t share with them; it seemed he had once again closed himself off, sinking into endless silence.
The next morning, when Su Xing groggily woke up, she found Shen Jingyu had only just lain down.
"You didn’t stay up all night, did you?" Su Xing could tell from the bloodshot eyes that he had.
He leaned in closer and asked, "Have you been smoking and drinking?"
What could be so difficult that it left him hesitating like this? Su Xing could only conclude that no one else could make him feel this way.
"I'll take a break for a bit. I'll get up later to see you off to work," Shen Jingyu said, gently closing his eyes. One hand rested on Su Xing's waist, rubbing it lightly as a gesture of comfort.
"Make sure to rest well! I’ll head back to my mom's place for a while. There are so many people around, so you don’t need to worry about me!"
Before getting up, Su Xing softly kissed him on the forehead. After preparing breakfast quietly, he slipped out the door.
As Su Xing stepped outside, he noticed that Pei Yufei seemed a bit out of sorts. He took the initiative to ask, "Did you have a fight with Shen Jingyu yesterday? Did you give him a piece of your mind?"
Pei Yufei let out a cold laugh. "Shen Dui Zhang? How could I possibly teach him a lesson?! It was just a difference of opinion."
Pei Yufei never expected that one day, it would be Su Xing discussing Shen Jingyu in front of her.
"Regardless of any mission, I believe you all hope for no casualties, right?"
"Of course," Pei Yufei replied quickly. "That is our mission!"
Su Xing nodded. "Then why don’t we collaborate? Shen Jingyu's worries will only prolong your efforts. If I take the initiative, this matter will surely be resolved quickly! I really don’t want to live in constant anxiety! After all, I care about my family and my mother!"
Pei Yufei was taken aback by how perceptive Su Xing was; for a moment, it felt as if he had been enlightened by his words.
