Since it’s not pregnancy, flying is not an issue. After leaving the bathroom, Zong Yuan had time to contact Assistant Xiao Wang, “Book the flight for tomorrow morning.”
“…” Xiao Wang, who efficiently canceled the plane tickets and booked ship tickets, said, “…Okay.”
Through gritted teeth, oh, through gritted teeth.
Zong Yuan pressed onto Chi Xun unceremoniously over the blanket, almost making him breathless.
Chi Xu: “What are you doing?”
The voice became muffled through the blanket.
Chi Xu struggled to lift the blanket but couldn’t.
Zong Yuan: “Let you experience the feeling of being pregnant.”
If there was a gap in the bed, Chi Xu felt like he could crawl in at that moment. “Please, stop talking.”
Zong Yuan snorted. “You hid so well back then. Now, what happened?”
Feeling guilty, Chi Xu gripped the blanket tightly over his head. “I didn’t hide from you. I… okay, go ahead.”
Zong Yuan said, “Show your face first.”
With a messy hairstyle, Chi Xu revealed a red face, not from guilt but because the blanket was not breathable.
Zong Yuan placed his hands on both sides of his head, lifting his body to leave him some breathing space, adopting an imposing posture. “Chi Xu, are you ready? I’m going to criticize you.”
Chi Xu’s eye twitched, still avoiding direct eye contact with Zong Yuan, glancing at his high nose, “Ready.”
“First point,” Zong Yuan got closer, his nose touching Chi Xu’s, “Did you miss me so much during the days you were away from me?”
Chi Xu shuddered all over. “Damn, you’re so cheesy.” Stubbornly, he didn’t admit, “Not only did I not miss you, but I also lived it up.”
“Hmm?” Zong Yuan’s tone was dangerous. “Then why were you secretly looking at me?”
Chi Xu had nothing to say. After half a minute, he finally said, “What’s wrong with looking at you!”
Boom! It turned out he really was sneaking glances.
Zong Yuan was in a good mood. He let go of Chi Xu and seized the little assassin when he wasn’t paying attention. Chi Xu struggled, glaring at him. “Let me go!”
Zong Yuan patted his butt twice, took three steps into the bathroom, filled a small, warm pool-like bathtub with water, and said, “Take a bath first, then go to sleep.”
Chi Xu stopped struggling. He took off his shirt, his face slightly red, and complained, “I hate men like you the most. It’s not even dark yet, and you’re already in bed! I swear I’m asexual—”
Zong Yuan finished removing his shirt, revealing his sexy abs and well-defined V-line right in front of Chi Xu. He leisurely undid the belt around his waist, raising an eyebrow as he asked, “You’re asexual?”
His hands were unfastening the belt, and Chi Xu swallowed hard. He walked over and pulled down Zong Yuan’s pants zipper. His hands trembled, and the more anxious he became, the slower he pulled it down. “Damn, whoever claims to be asexual is not related to you.”
Chi Xu, determined to prove he wasn’t asexual, gave his all tonight. Both Zong Yuan and he had great stamina, and the assassin’s physical flexibility allowed them to explore various challenging positions. In summary, it was a very enjoyable night.
The next morning at eight, Assistant Xiao Wang arrived on time to fetch Zong Yuan and Chi Xu. After having breakfast together, they boarded the plane. The mission of the assassins was only considered complete after they escorted Zong Yuan and Chi Xu into the company. The assassins lamented, “Originally assassins, but ended up working as bodyguards QAQ.”
Zong Yuan’s company and Eldest Young Master Hou’s company were twin towers. When Zong Yuan and Chi Xu entered the office in a lively manner, Eldest Young Master Hou was already waiting there.
Eldest Young Master Hou’s expression relaxed a bit. The two men hugged tightly. Zong Yuan gestured for Chi Xu to come forward, “Hou-ge, this is my wife Chi Xu. Sweetheart, say hi to Hou-ge.”
Chi Xu obediently greeted, “Hou-ge, hello.” The nicknames these two had were so cliché.
Eldest Young Master Hou smiled and handed him a red envelope, “Well, hello, Brother-in-law.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Eldest Young Master Hou asked Zong Yuan, “What do you think?”
“Those people are the only ones in a hurry,” Zong Yuan sneered. “They’re both stupid and clumsy.”
Chi Xu listened from the side, aware that they were discussing who hired him to assassinate Zong Yuan. Truth be told, Chi Xu knew who the employer was, but the rules he had followed for over a decade in this profession made it impossible for him to reveal the identity of the employer.
However, he would not let go of those who wanted to kill Zong Yuan.
Eldest Young Master Hou was an open-minded person. He had always regarded Zong Yuan as his true brother. Compared to the greedy and unsatisfied illegitimate son, Second Young Master Hou, Eldest Young Master Hou truly cared for Zong Yuan.
He also worried about Zong Yuan’s safety, but he equally understood Zong Yuan’s character.
Zong Yuan pounded his chest. “Let’s turn the tables, Hou-ge. Stick to the plan.”
Eldest Young Master Hou asked, “What about your safety?”
Zong Yuan pointed to Chi Xu, who was holding a red envelope and looking at them eagerly. “Don’t worry, I still have him.”
Although this guy couldn’t even beat him, his reputation could reassure those who didn’t know him.
After discussing business matters, Eldest Young Master Hou sent them back home.
Chi Xu remained silent on the way home, and when they entered, he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Aren’t you going to ask me?”
His question was vague, but Zong Yuan understood what he meant. He pointed a finger at Chi Xu’s forehead. “Get lost. Your husband can handle it on his own.”
If he had to rely on his wife to violate professional ethics to get information, what kind of man would he be?
Chi Xu was moved and hugged Zong Yuan’s waist, burying his face in his chest. “Thank you.”
Thank you for meeting such a man, and also thanks to the heavens for that.
News of Zong Yuan’s return to the country was known to only a few. The plan to turn the tables was portrayed as Zong Yuan encountering danger, escaping, and then deciding to look for a new business partner for the project.
Zong Yuan made a grand show, meeting various people every day, and signing piles of contracts. Each time, he vaguely mentioned the assassination attempt.
People became scared, so they dared not cooperate with Second Young Master Hou.
In reality, Zong Yuan and Eldest Young Master Hou were well aware that there weren’t many people who would resort to such direct and foolish methods. Second Young Master Hou was the prime suspect.
However, Zong Yuan didn’t want to involve Chi Xu, and lacking evidence, no matter how he looked at it, he and Eldest Young Master Hou appeared as brothers. Family secrets should not be revealed. Even if they were to defeat Second Young Master Hou thoroughly, they needed to stand on the moral high ground.
Everything was progressing smoothly. Eldest Young Master Hou started coming home later, showing increasing impatience. His younger siblings, who were usually beneath him, began probing him.
However, what surprised both Zong Yuan and Eldest Young Master Hou was that Second Young Master Hou personally contacted Zong Yuan.
“Damn it!”
Zong Yuan slammed the table fiercely. His eyes turned red, emitting a chilling aura. The entire room felt his menacing presence. “How dare he!”
On the table lay an envelope with a photo and a note inside.
“To demonstrate my sincerity in wanting to cooperate with Mr. Zong, I spent considerable effort and money to find the information on the assassin who targeted Mr. Zong. I wonder if this is the assassin? If so, I’m willing to seek revenge on behalf of Mr. Zong.”
The photo prominently featured Chi Xu.
Blaming everything on Chi Xu, did they really think everyone was foolish?
Eldest Young Master Hou frowned as he looked at Zong Yuan. “Zong Yuan, is Chi Xu an assassin? Or the one who tried to kill you back then?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Zong Yuan said in a low voice. Expressionless, he suppressed his anger to the brink and sneered, “I only know he’s about to pay the price.”
Pushing his loved one forward as a scapegoat. Very well.
Looking at Eldest Young Master Hou’s expression, Zong Yuan directly said, “You don’t need to interfere in mine and Chi Xu’s affairs and you don’t need to worry. Now, what you should be thinking about is how to transfer what Second Young Master Hou has to your side.”
Eldest Young Master Hou, understanding Zong Yuan’s stance, nodded.
Zong Yuan added, “Don’t mention this matter to Chi Xu.”
Chi Xu didn’t have much formal education. He even forced himself to learn English during missions. Since being with Zong Yuan, he suddenly didn’t know what to do.
Apart from killing, it seems like he doesn’t have many other skills.
Zong Yuan held him in his arms and asked, “Do you like being an assassin?”
Chi Xu countered, “Who would like it?”
As long as it’s not absolutely necessary, who would willingly engage in a job that entails perpetual wandering, never finding peace, always on the edge of danger, and profoundly lonely?
Zong Yuan said, “Then it’s easy.”
He found a job for Chi Xu that perfectly matched his personality. Initially, it was just to keep him busy, sending all the security personnel from both companies for Chi Xu to train. Unexpectedly, Chi Xu became increasingly enthusiastic about it, eventually deciding to start his own security company with his savings.
Zong Yuan watched him enjoy the process silently and invested a considerable amount of money, observing how Chi Xu used his experience as an excellent assassin to train the young people entering the workforce.
Which security personnel had to learn the skills of a sharpshooter?
Openly developing a group of security personnel learning assassin skills under the guise of legality.
Chi Xu became more and more active each day. He even found many people in the same profession who were tired of the life of an assassin and had no sanctuary. Many of the people he recruited asked him, “How can you be sure of your safety? How can you guarantee that this is our sanctuary?”
Chi Xu replied, “Rest assured, do you know Zong Yuan? That man in charge of financial matters, my husband. Trust me, he’s got everything covered.”
They were half-skeptical, unable to resist their admiration for Chi Xu and their faint expectations. Everyone who came to this security company had already transformed into a group of hot-tempered instructors.
“Damn it! I’m talking to you! Can’t you remember some basics?! Do you believe I’ll make you roll on the ground?”
“Damn it! Do 100 push-ups for me!!!”
Although their tempers became increasingly irritable, every day was incredibly easygoing.
Turns out, this is the happiness of ordinary people.
Second Young Master Hou’s clever schemes were kept entirely hidden from Chi Xu by Zong Yuan and Eldest Young Master Hou. Every day, Chi Xu was a happy little fool, completely unaware that his former employer was using him to boast about successful cooperation.
Finally, after a month, Second Young Master Hou couldn’t hold back any longer.
He believed that Eldest Young Master Hou no longer had the qualifications to compete with him. However, since Father Hou had always favored Eldest Young Master Hou, on the evening when the old master of the Hou family publicly intended to allocate a large company to Eldest Young Master Hou, Second Young Master Hou took action.
Using identical, outrageously stupid methods, every word he spoke while preparing to contact an assassin had been recorded.
Not only that, but there were also his disruptions of the company’s financial statements.
Father Hou was furious, and Zong Yuan had no interest in knowing what happened next. All he knew was that the next day, Second Young Master Hou was sent overseas by Father Hou overnight with an order never to return.
Abroad, Zong Yuan’s influence could extend even more unrestrained.
One year later.
Chi Xu rarely left work early throughout the year, practically living in the company. Their company was situated in a remote suburb, occupying a large area for various training activities. The advertising slogan was direct: “Assassins teach you how to safeguard your home!”
Damn, it’s quite appealing.
Chi Xu twirled the car keys, confidently waiting for someone to ask. His former colleagues, now coworkers, casually inquired, “What’s up again? Is your husband taking you out for fun?”
“Hmm,” Chi Xu nonchalantly replied, “Today is our first wedding anniversary. He didn’t even remember, and I insisted on taking him out for dinner. Tsk, men.”
Then erupted a crackling applause of envy.
Chi Xu, with a smile, stepped out and got into the car, heading menacingly towards Zong Yuan’s company. When the call connected, Zong Yuan’s voice came through, “Darling, what’s wrong?”
“Damn it! You forgot again!!!” Chi Xu exclaimed, “For heaven’s sake, think about what day it is today!”
Annoying!
Damn!

It’s over, it’s over~ Farewell, Chi Xu, you little fool!!!
