“No, I will go alone and be back soon.” Lu Bai stopped and glanced back at Yan Se. “Do you want to follow when I am only going to find women?”

Yan Se stopped fiddling the tableware for a moment and then went on as usual. “Then you can go alone.” As casual as it might sound, Yan Se did not mean what she said. She lost her sleep that night just because of what Lu Bai said. It was not until the next morning that Yan Se could fall asleep. She later figured that it was only natural for a youthful man to find women.

Meanwhile, in a residential building in the city, Lu Bai frustratedly buried his face in his hands as Wen He polished her nails. He thought that Wen He had no sense of crisis.

“Bai, take it easy. It will be fine.” Wen He did not look at him but kept polishing her nails.

If Lu Bai did not know that Wen He was going to raid the prison, he would have thought that Wen He must have quit her old trade judging from her leisure pace of life. “You don’t have to go personally even if you want to rescue Ol’ Jiu. That place is not what you think. Let me do it.” Lu Bai was worried that she might not make it back alive. “Did you feed your brain to the dogs? Don’t you know that there is strength in numbers?”

Wen He finally looked up and glanced at him. “Hey, what’s the matter with your neck? Aha! Our Bai has finally become a man. Look at the ‘strawberry!’ The girl must be a wildcat!” The bite mark on Lu Bai’s neck was clearly visible.

Lu Bai’s reflectively reached to cover it.

“How does she look like? Cute or mature? Judging from the ‘strawberry,’ she should a hot type. No?” Wen He thought that she could finally unload this burden onto someone else. The boss would also be happy about it. The pigheaded, silly son of the family had finally wised up.

“Don’t beat around the bush. I am serious here.” Lu Bai was here to discuss their rescue operation.

“They are going to transfer Ol’ Jiu. The only time we can save him is during his transit.” Wen He glanced at the drawer nearby. “There is a gun in there. You should check and see how it feels.”

Lu Bai immediately got to his feet; he had not touched weapons for a long time. Moreover, when he was in the organization, he was mostly in charge of weaponry development and had never fired a shot before. But this time, he might need to make an exception to save Ol’ Jiu.

“Let’s go, Bai. We can go to the shooting range or the suburbs. You lack of experience.” Wen He got up and looked at her new nail art in satisfaction.

“That won’t be necessary. I can handle it. Just let me know the place and time, so I will not have to come to find you again.” Lu Bai put the gun back, turned around and left. “Don’t roam around outside and blow your cover.”

Lu Bai drove back to Yan Se’s house.

In the president’s office of Xiang Yuan Corp in the capital, the midday sun shone through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the spacious room.

“Mr. President, Mr. Mason had gone to Fence East Apartments today.” The assistant reported to Xiang Jinxi, who was burying his head in piles of documents. Hearing what his assistant said, he raised his head slightly.

“Keep an eye on him.”

“Understood.” The assistant turned and left.

Xiang Jinxi could not get his mind focused. He dropped the pen on the table and reached for his coffee. Just then, the phone rang.

“What’s up?”

“Mr. President, Mr. Huo would like to see you. He is downstairs.” It was the voice of the secretary.

“Huo of old or young?”

“Old.”

“Bring him to the reception room. Treat him kindly.” Xiang Jinxi hung up with a sneer on his lips.
