TVLMS 17

It was past nine p.m, but the lights in a certain hotel room were still on.

In the toilet, Gu Xiyu was repeatedly rubbing his hands under the faucet and washing them.

The water was cold but the color of the palm of his hand was red. After that, he lowered his head and washed his face that was still dripping with water. The skin on his face was extremely red because of repeated washing.

Ji Chen personally proved that there was no problem with that part of his body. It’s just that he had used Gu Xiyu’s hand for the process, making Gu Xiyu’s hands a little numb from fatigue. Fortunately, they didn’t do “that”.

Gu Xiyu turned off the light and returned to the bed. The person who had fiercely shown how energetic and healthy his body was had already fallen asleep with his back turned to him.

Ji Chen hadn’t had much rest for almost two days, so it was normal for him to sleep early.

Of course, if the people in the time-space management sub-bureau knew that their great commander’s two perfect, distinct, and impeccable hands that were only used to launch battleships, control systems in the control room, and hold weapons to kill the enemies were used by the Great Demon to prove his ability in ”that”, then they’d probably faint. Their commander’s innocent and cute hands were now contaminated by that demon.

The first three days of coming to Country F were destined to be busy days.

On the day of Ji Chen’s company’s meeting, Gu Xiyu, accompanied by the two bodyguards assigned to him, came to a dessert shop near the hotel.

He had just picked out a few small cakes and was about to pay when he accidentally saw Cheng Qianqian who was sitting alone in a corner by the window, staring at the table with only a cup of hot cocoa in a daze.

Her eyes were a little red and swollen as if she had just cried.

Gu Xiyu carried the exquisitely packaged small box and placed it in front of Cheng Qianqian. She was so scared that she immediately raised her head and was relieved to see that it was him.

Cheng Qianqian wiped her tears with embarrassment: “What a coincidence, we are really destined.”

Gu Xiyu smiled and didn’t reply.

Encounters with male and female protagonists were not something that should be celebrated. Generally speaking, there will always be some special plots where both of the protagonists are present. He wondered know what stupid incidents he’ll encounter in F country.

He opened the small box that he had pushed towards Cheng Qianqian. The box contained a slice of lemon-flavored cake, which was designed in the shape of a yellow kitten wearing a straw hat.

“Since it’s a rare encounter, please do me a favor and eat it.”

“This…” Cheng Qianqian was somewhat embarrassed. Seeing that she wanted to refuse, Gu Xiyu took a cup of iced coffee and sat down on the other side of the table, and said, “I bought it with Ji Chen’s money. Please don’t be polite with him.”

Cheng Qianqian was amused and didn’t push it anymore. She looked at the ice drink in his hand and was confused: “It’s still snowing outside. Aren’t you feeling cold?”

“I’m not feeling cold.” Gu Xiyu even ate an ice cube to prove this, and Cheng Qianqian subconsciously tightened the thick jacket on her body.

He really couldn’t feel coldness, so he liked to drink cold drinks and the temperature outside was just right for him.

Gu Xiyu didn’t ask Cheng Qianqian why she was out here alone, but she suddenly felt a little frustrated after eating a few bites of cake: “I can’t even do a small thing like accompanying my boss to see a client and help him socialize, aren’t I terrible?”

Things were about the same as he had guessed. Cheng Qianqian had a conflict with Ji Zixuan about work.

“I obviously dealt with the things according to the way he had said. I tried my best to help him, but he still said those things about me, I have never seen such a harsh person. In the company, he always scolds me and says that I can’t do anything well. Today, he even inexplicably accused me in front of the client. President Lei is much better than him!”

“I was too angry, so I ran out by myself. But I couldn’t find the way back to the hotel…” Cheng Qianqian said, her tone becoming a little guilty.

Gu Xiyu’s requirements for the people under him at the Time and Space Bureau were actually very high but he said: “He has just taken over the Ji family. If he can’t suppress the people in the company, it will be easy for others to find opportunities to climb over him. I think he is very optimistic about your personal abilities, so he expects a bit more from you.”

Cheng Qianqian’s temper came quickly and went quickly, and was as easy to coax as a certain someone……

The two of them happened to have nothing to do next and they didn’t want to go back to the hotel, so they just wandered around together.

The bodyguards that Ji Chen had arranged for Gu Xiyu always kept a safe distance from them. They would not let the target of protection attract attention and they could also rush over to protect him in time if an accident happened.

Originally, it should be like this.

When Gu Xiyu and Cheng Qianqian walked into a retro handicraft shop, several teenagers on skateboards suddenly appeared on the street. They went crazy on the sidewalk and accidentally ran into the two bodyguards and a few people near them.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and the kind-hearted people passing by came up to help with the situation. Some people even started to take out their mobile phones to call an ambulance. However, the bodyguards’ physiques were stronger than those of ordinary people and their reaction ability was very quick, so they didn’t suffer any harm.

On the contrary, after the crowd dispersed, two men in gray coats came to them and asked in a serious tone: “Did you see your master come out?”

They were stunned for a while, only to realize that the other two were from Ji Zixuan’s camp. Perhaps they were following Cheng Qianqian in secret.

Hearing this question, their hearts all skipped a bit.

The door of the handicraft shop was locked. After kicking the door open, they found the shop owner tied under the counter desk. There was a rag in his mouth, which prevented him from making a cry for help.

As for Gu Xiyu and Cheng Qianqian who were still wandering in front of them just now, they were naturally gone.

Ji Chen received the call when he was in the middle of his meeting.

Although the meeting was drawing to a close, they happened to be talking about the last thing that needed to be finalized. The major shareholders and senior executives in the conference room were still arguing because of their difference in opinion when their boss suddenly said “the meeting is over” and rushed out, leaving them so dazed that they even forgot to continue their fight.

Ji Chen immediately opened the software on his phone that could track Gu Xiyu’s tracker signal. He felt relieved when he saw that the signal hadn’t been disconnected and that he was heading toward a remote mountainous area on the map.

Ji Chen pondered for a while, then remembered that he still had a system to contact Gu Xiyu.

[Gu Xiyu, where are you?]

The voice from the other side soon came over.

[We should be in a vehicle. The female protagonist and I were taken away. I estimate that there are only dozens of them.]

Only….dozens??!

Ji Chen asked anxiously: [Then are you injured?]

Gu Xiyu paused before answering, [I thought you could observe the health indicators and conditions of my body?]

Another window with dense data quickly popped up on the panel in front of Ji Chen which included Gu Xiyu’s electrocardiogram, blood pressure, and body data.

All were green, which meant that he was healthy.

There was also a framed sentence in the upper right corner that said [Soul State: Stable.]

Boom!

Ji Chen was observing Gu Xiyu’s health data when his speeding car suddenly collided with another silver car that was also speeding at the intersection.

“…It’s you?” The person who collided with him turned out to be Ji Zixuan.

Ji Zixuan’s expression was not very good-looking. There was a bit of anxiety in his eyes and he was clenching his phone in his hand. Ji Chen glanced at him and found that the screen of his mobile phone was also tracking a certain signal, but the one in his mobile phone had stopped moving.

“I’m sorry, Uncle, I’m in a hurry. Since it’s just a small collision, this won’t affect the performance of the car. I will pay you back later.”

Before he left, Ji Chen shook the phone in his hand and asked with a smile, “Your signal is broken. Do you still know where to find her?”

As expected, Ji Zixuan stopped abruptly and looked back at him.

Their eyes had similar coldness and aura, but one of them was looking cold while the other was smiling with ease.

————-

Gu Xiyu and Cheng Qianqian were blindfolded and thrown in the back seat. However, Cheng Qianqian was still under the influence of the drugs and hadn’t woken up yet. As for him, he pretended that he was also affected by the effects of the drug, and leaned on the back of his seat motionlessly, paying attention to the movements of the people in the car.

The people In the car were taking them somewhere and had just finished talking on the phone. He estimated that there were about a dozen of them based on the content of their conversations and the noise from the mobile phone.

Not a big problem.

“Search them, take out their wallets and mobile phones and turn them off. Also, destroy any trackers you’ll find.”

Gu Xiyu and Cheng Qianqian were searched and all personal belongings including their mobile phones were taken out. Even their mobile phone cases were removed: “We’ve turned off their phones. No other things were found.”

They were taken to a small cabin in a remote area.

“What the hell did you do? This man looks completely different from the target in the photo. Did I ask you to kidnap him?” When the blindfold was taken off, Gu Xiyu heard a man yelling.

“But……. but boss, you talked about a tall and handsome man who was together with that girl. I saw that your description matched with this guy, so I kidnapped him.”

It turned out that the person they wanted to kidnap was Ji Zixuan.

“Idiot!”

“Uh, boss, what are we going to do with this person now? Shall we throw him out to feed the wild boars?”

“Forget it! Now he’s already kidnapped, you-”

Before the blond man they called boss could finish speaking, one of the men behind him suddenly let out a muffled grunt and fell to the ground.

The people in the room stopped their discussion.

“Excuse me, do you have a knife?” The thin and tall boy who had just raised his foot and kicked their companion away asked politely.

The blond man felt that his authority was challenged spit out with an angry smile and put his hands on his hips: “We have everything that can send you to the hell!”

The moment his words fell, everyone else in the room showed their knives and stared at him fiercely.

Gu Xiyu thought to himself, he only needed one knife to untie the rope on his hands but these people were too polite and took out several knives. How cute!

Many “cute” people rushed up and wanted to give Gu Xiyu their knives through their attacks, but their attacks failed to hit him and it seemed like they were always lacking compared to him.

Especially the blond dude, he wanted to send Gu Xiyu to hell by relying on his huge body so he took out his knife like a master and rushed towards Gu Xiyu. Unexpectedly, not only did he not stab the person, but he was also robbed of the knife in his hand.

Gu Xiyu’s movements were quick and he easily cut the rope around his hands. Before the blond man could react, he turned around and grabbed his arm, and dislocated it.

“I’ll show you something interesting.” Gu Xiyu said softly and snappes the man’s dislocated hand back with a crisp “pa”.

Blond man: “???”

Then, Gu Xiyu twisted his hand under the horrified and startled eyes of the other party, and asked seriously, “It’s very interesting, isn’t it?”

The blond man was so scared that he couldn’t control his voice: “Ahhhhh!”

The dozens or so thugs who could walk sideways in the underground circle of Country F never dreamed that they would be beaten to death by a young boy who seemed incapable of fighting. The opponent was like a veteran with many years of fighting experience, with extremely agile speed and accurate predictive ability. They fought against him with all their might but they could only put a few scratches on him that weren’t even painful.

The crying blond man realized that they had accidentally kidnapped their ancestor.

This one sided fight didn’t stop until someone came out of the inner hall of the cabin clapping his hands.

“Ji Chen is really good at cultivating talents. I haven’t seen you for only a few days but now you can even fight.”

What appeared in Gu Xiyu’s sight was Lan Yue, the current president of Liyang Group.

He stopped his movements for a while, thinking that the original owner and that man really knew each other.

Lan Yue put one hand in his trouser pocket, raised his eyebrow and said, “This wrong kidnapping brought me the person that I wanted to get the most.”

Gu Xiyu watched Lan Yue pass over the men lying on the ground with pained expressions and walked to the chair and sat down.

Lan Yue raised his head, rubbed his hand on his lips and said, “Gu Xiyu, you are too capable, right? You suddenly disappeared with the information and I thought you were hiding somewhere. I didn’t expect you to marry Ji Chen.”

“I once even thought that you were the spy that he had arranged by my side. But it seems like he doesn’t even know our previous plans.”

“Xiyu… Xiyu… on the one hand, you seduced Ji Chen and made him obsessed with you, while on the other hand, you kept avoiding me making me feel sad. What exactly do you want, my love?”
