Did you know?

I never dared to imagine that I would wake up one day.

During the rainy season, it always rains for more than three days, so it's probably not possible to call a taxi.

"Then, please follow me, Mr. Juxi, to the guest room on the second floor to rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

One servant with coffee-colored hair (firm attitude) said respectfully.

"Yes...yes!"

Sitting in the guest room on the second floor, the decoration here is so monotonous that there are no significant features. The dark room only has an empty bed.

Recalling Sister Youxiang, her appearance still matches her black hair, and she still possesses the same beauty as before. However, compared to her queen-like self in the past, she now has a hint of innocence and romanticism.

This completely brought me back to reality, and the more I thought about it, the more something felt off. So I quickly went to find the light switch in the room.

"Huh, why isn't the light working?"

I sniffed my finger, which had something unknown stuck to it, and the rotten dust mixed with a choking smell. How long has it been since this room was cleaned?

...At that moment, when she turned her head, there was a trace of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Ah!"

There were even wooden debris left on the floor, and caught off guard, one of my legs was scraped, leaving a few centimeters long wound.

"Why is the room here so different from the outside?"

Complaining while reaching out to turn the handle of the room door, click!

????

"It's locked?"

No way! I muttered to myself, and then I heard a female voice outside.

"Behave yourself. If you dare to disturb Miss, she won't forgive you!" Then I heard something like keys falling to the ground and making a clanging sound.

"Hey, can you tell me what's happening?!" I pounded on the heavy wooden door, but it stood there motionless. It was probably the sturdiest thing in the room.

Thinking back, every maid had a slight tilt to their right shoulder. Could it be that they were carrying guns...like members of the underworld?

Looking around the four walls of the house, they were covered with a thick layer of dust. The only clean thing was the bed.

"They even made space for sleeping. It seems that they won't let it go until I'm gone for a few days!"

It seems that this world will never be peaceful.

I turned back to the protruding spot that tripped me, and I found a large gap under the floor that a person could pass through.

When I opened the lower floor of the floor, several rats suddenly startled me.

"Phew! Scared me. This place is really dirty. How long has it been since it was cleaned?" I continued to feel along the middle floor of the room, farther away from the lobby. However, the lobby was surprisingly quiet at that moment.

Driven by curiosity, I nervously opened the ceiling of the lobby and strained my eyes to see inside.

The result shocked me!!!

"How...how..." I was so amazed that I was speechless. The maids and Youxiang...and those gorgeous decorations seemed to have never existed, like a dream, hazy and elusive.

Jumping down from the ceiling, I walked silently to every corner and looked around, making sure that there was no trace of any living person. Then, in the center of the lobby, I leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, feeling almost exhausted.

"Is it because of everything that has happened recently that I am so tired?"

Rubbing my slightly tired eyes, I kicked open the tightly closed door with force, and then looked at the small building from the outside...

The once brightly lit two-story mansion that I came to now appears dilapidated and even unbearable to look at. Was the initial splendor just a dream?

As I mock myself for why I came here, a black extended Lincoln slowly comes to a stop behind me in the pouring rain.

"Who has been following me in the car for so long?"

I squint and look back at the black sedan, which also smartly stops beside me.

The car door opens, and a middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead and a face full of smiley flesh steps out, accompanied by three black men dressed in black suits with sunglasses, resembling bodyguards.

"Do you not remember me? Lieutenant Haige, I am an executive from the North American headquarters," he says, with a puzzled expression on his face as I address him with a puzzled expression on his face. He changes his tone, saying, "You can call me Franco, the secretary to the president of Elena Corporation."

(At this point, I'm thinking, Haige? Do I have such a foreign name?)

Every move and every word the man speaks is polite. The black-clad men behind him seem to have anticipated this and hand him a piece of paper.

I see the man take the paper and turn it towards me, smirking in satisfaction.

I lean in for a closer look... my goodness, that inconspicuous scrap of paper actually has several large zeros drawn on it, with a three at the front.

"Well, here is thirty million yuan. If you don't mind..." he trails off, not finishing his sentence as refusing money is the behavior of a fake gentleman.

"Let's cut to the chase, I don't like beating around the bush," I say.

"Well, the thing is, we have a request. If you're willing, we can pay you seventy million yuan," he says.

This uncle is even willing to offer me seventy million more?!

Having such a large sum of money offered doesn't seem like a good thing, does it?

"Indeed, you are a smart person. Those maids earlier were just a test I set up for you," he says, cunningly. In addition to everything, even the three-dimensional projection in the courtyard was arranged by him.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?" I just want to quickly know the content of the task. After urging him, he finally tells me the reason, saying, "Hehe, it's not difficult. We just want you to protect our president's daughter."

Protecting the president's daughter... um... can I earn one hundred million yuan just by doing that?

Although I'm not sure when I became a lieutenant outside, the unexpected windfall that can be obtained effortlessly makes me immediately forget the previous displeasure and say, "Okay, I can take on this assignment, but please tell me the time, location, and the target."

"The time is tonight, and your place is fine, right?"

I smile and nod, making an OK gesture to indicate perfection.

But then, he hesitates and leans in closer to me, whispering the four words that shock me.

"Target to protect: Arashi Yukari!"

The name Yukari surprises me, and I thought maybe I misheard him. I quickly dig my ear and grab his shoulders, shouting, "Are you saying Arashi Yukari?"

"Yes, haven't you forgotten? At that time, you two were still..."

The man seems to be taken aback by my sudden excitement, mechanically nodding and confirming my titanium alloy dog ears, and starts telling me the story that I hate the most, a long time ago.

"Enough, now that I've taken on the assignment, you don't need to tell me so much, I understand," I interrupt him.

"Mr. Hagrid, since we have agreed on the terms, I will send my subordinates to deliver the person at midnight tonight as scheduled," I said.

After giving the instructions, Mr. Hagrid drove away in his Lincoln, leaving me alone in the rain-soaked ground feeling panicked and disoriented, with my short sleeves already soaked through.

"What on earth is going on?" I wondered.

That night, as soon as I got home, I immediately searched for the keywords - Elena.

Elena Virus Pharmaceutical Company, ranked number one in the world, had developed particles that could eliminate cancer cells when injected into the human body...

I was shocked to learn that Yuxiang had such a massive background behind her!

Ding ling ling ling...

Just then, the doorbell at the entrance rang terrifyingly.

Nervously, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and mumbled to myself, "Are they here so soon?"

"Please, come in!" I said.

Opening the door, I saw a girl disguised with sunglasses and a scarf covering her face, followed by a tall black man.

Their appearance seemed as if they were idols evading their fans' pursuit. Then I heard the girl give the man a few instructions.

"Miss, this is the gentleman, the one who supposedly can accomplish any task and has a good reputation..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough!" the girl interrupted the man with annoyance, and even cursed at him to leave. "You useless piece of junk, just go!"

"Yes, yes, Miss. I'll leave now," the black man said, then fled under her tyranny.

It's all a mess, this is really not an easy task.

"...Please, come in and have a seat. As for your luggage, you can put it in the empty room over there," I rhymed my words as I tried to calm down and led the still angry girl into the living room.

As the lighting gradually improved, I could see her outfit more clearly, she was wearing so many layers! A set of pale white leather jacket, boots that only winter would call for, and even a beret on her head.

"Aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"

Just as we sat down on the couch and I was about to show concern, she unexpectedly retorted, "Oh, so you are Lieutenant Hagrid they talked about? I thought you would be some rugged old man!"

"Uh!"

I was already feeling very annoyed, at least that's how I felt inside.

I didn't expect this girl to have such a bad attitude, no wonder she would provoke people she shouldn't. But the aura emanating from her, resembling that gentle charm Yuxiang had, made me constantly on edge, afraid of missing that moment of reunion.

I stared at her as she took off one piece of clothing after another, removing her sunglasses and revealing a pair of azure blue eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Huh?"

Indeed, even though I was supposed to be the caregiver, I didn't shift my gaze away just now, and it made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Where's the bathroom?"

"Well, do you need to use it?" In a panic, I hadn't seen her face clearly, and I had forgotten where the bathroom was. I had to buy some time to gather my thoughts.

"No, I want to take a shower."

"A shower? Then I need to go outside to adjust the water heater first," I sighed. How could I mess up so quickly without even getting a clear look at her face!

In any case, I waited for her in the living room while she was in the shower, pretending to be oblivious, and then I went to the bathroom as if I didn't know anything...

"Ah-ahh!"

I felt ashamed of myself for having such obscene and shameless thoughts!
