Under Xia Yanyu's puzzled gaze, Yi Qiu came forward from the crowd with a confident smile clutching his lips.

He sneered at Xu Fan, saying, "Miss, it's not that I am targeting him, but at this time, it is not appropriate to let outsiders come in."

"Think about it, if this guy is bribed by the assassin, wouldn't he become a pawn placed inside us by the enemy?"

After Yi Qiu finished speaking, he hummed and muttered, "People like him, I guess, wouldn't be too difficult to bribe..."

"..."

Now, Yi Qiu was very concerned about Xia Yanyu, causing Xu Fan, who was listening, to only want to snicker.

This kid, insisting he's not targeting himself, but which of his words isn't targeting him?

Too lazy to talk more, Xu Fan turned his gaze directly to Xia Yanyu.

This person belongs to her, Xia Yanyu, and now that she wants him to work for her, she should handle her own subordinates properly.

"Yi Qiu, I know you mean well for the Xia family, just rest assured, Xu Fan, I trust him," Xia Yanyu said indifferently, then looked over to Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, I have other things to attend to, so I won't be able to stay with you longer. Someone will show you around soon," Xia Yanyu added.

After speaking, Xia Yanyu walked in her high heels towards the upstairs of the villa, completely disregarding the slightly displeased Yi Qiu.

Xu Fan watched all this, narrowing his eyes, and walked over to Yi Qiu.

"Hmm, I'm not targeting you either. Sometimes, you just need to do your own tasks well and not meddle in too many other matters, understand?" he said.

"You!"

Xu Fan was openly mocking him, causing Yi Qiu to be instantly furious!

"Hmph, don't think that just because you entered the Xia family through connections, I, Yi Qiu, wouldn't dare to act against you! If I find the slightest wrongdoing in you, I won't spare you!"

Although he instinctively wanted to act, as Xia Yanyu had just gone upstairs, Yi Qiu ended up holding back.

After warning Xu Fan, he left the villa gate with his people.

"With this kind of strength, if Bingdilian really comes, I fear none would survive."

Xu Fan watched Yi Qiu and his entourage leave the villa and couldn't help shaking his head.

Soon, Xia Yanyu arranged for someone to greet him and showed him the kitchen briefly before introducing his job.

It was simple, he only needed to go out to pick up pre-ordered ingredients for the villa twice a day.

The job was easy, which was convenient for concealing his identity, and it would not interfere with his main task of protecting the Xia sisters.

After settling down in his dormitory, Xu Fan took on the task of delivering vegetables.

It seemed that Xia Yanyu had not informed anyone about his identity as per his instructions.

Everyone in the villa merely thought he was a helper who did the grocery shopping.

After delivering the vegetables by car back to the villa, Xu Fan surveyed the surroundings of the Xia family's villa for several hundred meters.

Assassinations generally fall into two categories, sniping and raiding.

He was not sure which method Bingdilian would opt for against the Xia sisters, so he needed to fully understand the surrounding terrain.

The villa's nearby environment had many wooded areas; sniping was arguably the most threatening method of assassination. If Bingdilian was a sniper expert, it would absolutely be a nightmare for the Xia sisters.

Xu Fan continued his stroll nearby, quietly noting the best sniping spots.

Pondering, after he had gathered information on nearby sniping spots, he would hand them over to Xia Yanyu so she could have her people guard them.

After walking around for so long, Xu Fan found it somewhat odd that he hadn't seen Xia Xiaodie.

As Xia Yanyu's sister, she should also be in the villa. Not having seen her for so long, he guessed that this young lady might have been confined by Xia Yanyu.

"Hehe, Yi Qiu, I heard that you had served in the U.S. Navy SEALs. Tell us about your glorious history!"

As Xu Fan pondered whether or not to go look for Xia Xiaodie, suddenly not far away, he heard a group of bodyguards chatting away.

"I heard, man, those who served in the Navy SEALs are masters! One against fifty is no problem at all!"

"Hehe! That's right, I heard, Yi Qiu, you even learned Xingyi Quan. With your skills, protecting the young miss would be a breeze, right?"

Xu Fan looked toward where the voices were coming from, puzzled, and saw Yi Qiu, whom he had met earlier inside the villa. Yi Qiu was currently being surrounded and flattered by several bodyguards.

Being flattered so much, Yi Qiu appeared to be in a very good mood now, he pressed his hand down and then laughed, saying, "A true man doesn't boast of his bravery from youth, why bring up these old stories?"

"Just do your jobs well and one day, you might reach my level, understand?"

"Aiyo, Yi Qiu, don't put us on a pedestal like that. We can't compare with you."

"Exactly! I heard you defeated dozens of competitors to become President Xia's personal bodyguard. With your skills, we can't compare!"

"..."

The bodyguards flattered Yi Qiu so much that Xu Fan rolled his eyes as he watched.

These guys had this free time to flatter, yet they didn't do something useful like investigating if anyone was at the sniper spots around, just like he did...

Shaking his head, Xu Fan didn't want to interact much with them, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Then, before Xu Fan could leave, Yi Qiu from a distance had noticed him.

With a stern face, he swiftly charged over to Xu Fan with a group of bodyguards!

Within less than a minute, they had completely surrounded Xu Fan.

"Is it you?"

Initially thinking this person was sneaky and wanting a closer look, Yi Qiu then recognized that it was the same boy from inside the villa who had irritated him earlier.

"Hmph."

Yi Qiu snorted coldly, misfortune encountering, this kid is now in my hands, watch how I deal with you!

"What are you doing here?"

Yi Qiu asked coldly, Xu Fan looked at him, nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm new here, just walking around, getting to know the area."

"Hmph, getting to know the area? As I see it, you're scoping out the place, wanting to gather the surrounding environment and then report back to the assassins outside!"

"You guys, search him!"

Yi Qiu waved grandly, and a few bodyguards stepped toward Xu Fan.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Seeing this, Xu Fan's eyes grew a bit colder.

This guy was openly abusing his power to mess with him!

"Yi Qiu, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

"You still don't have the right to search me, understand?"

Earlier, while investigating nearby sniper spots, Xu Fan had recorded all the sniper spot location information in his phone.

If Yi Qiu were to search and find it, it could bring unnecessary trouble for himself, and moreover, if there really were a mole inside the villa, it might startle them.

"Hmph, I don't have the right? Listen well, Xu Fan! I, Yi Qiu, am now in charge of the villa's security! I have the right to inspect anyone who might pose a threat to the villa!"

"What are you waiting for? Search him!"
