The train sped on, and two hours later, they arrived at their final stop.
Hong Kong Island's Hung Hom.
"Xu Fan, you wait a moment."
As they exited the station, Li Qinghe greeted Xu Fan and then pulled out her phone.
From the moment her flight had taken off, her phone had been turned off. Now, as she powered it on, it began to vibrate incessantly.
Today at Hong Kong International Airport, many people had come to pick her up, and indeed, there were many reporters who had planned to interview her about the new movie she was about to start shooting.
Logically, she should have made an appearance there.
However, due to the sudden incident, she had to switch to traveling by train to reach Hong Kong Island.
With her phone in hand, Li Qinghe called her manager.
"Qinghe! Why have you only just turned on your phone? Oh dear! You had me worried sick! I heard there was an accident with your flight? Are you alright?"
The moment the call connected, all she could hear was her manager complaining.
Li Qinghe took a deep breath and said, "Li, don't worry, I'm fine."
"I'm now at Kowloon's Hung Hom Station. Can you send someone to pick me up? Oh, and send two cars."
"Mmm, okay, I'll cancel the engagements here for you."
Having just spoken to the airport staff who mentioned there was an accident, the manager was relieved Li Qinghe was unharmed—it was a huge relief. The manager had no expectations for Li Qinghe to attend the engagements now and hung up after agreeing to her requests.
"Xu Fan, let's wait here for a bit longer, someone will be here to pick us up soon."
After putting away her phone, Li Qinghe addressed herself.
The Ye Family wielded not insignificant power on Hong Kong Island, and if they knew she was with Li Qinghe, it could potentially bring trouble her way.
Considering this, Xu Fan reminded her, "Just say I'm your bodyguard later, and don't mention my name."
Hearing Xu Fan's instructions, Li Qinghe couldn't help but take another look at him.
She didn't suspect anything.
She guessed that Xu Fan just didn't want to expose his identity.
It wasn't long before two cars arrived to pick up Li Qinghe.
As the cars halted in front of her, the doors opened, and a strapping man in a suit jumped out.
Considering his appearance, he was clearly one of Li Qinghe's bodyguards. Xu Fan gave a brief glance before turning his gaze back to Li Qinghe.
This woman, she already has bodyguards.
"Miss Li, who are these two?"
The man had noticed Xu Fan and Green Rakshasa and curiously glanced at them before looking back at Li Qinghe.
Since the situation was still unclear, his tone remained quite polite.
"Oh, they're bodyguards I've recently hired. They'll be responsible for my protection these days."
Immediately, Li Qinghe followed Xu Fan's instructions and explained.
"..."
Hearing this news, Wang Zhennan's expression turned noticeably unhappy.
The protection duties had always been personally undertaken by him; now, her sudden hiring of three other bodyguards—did she not trust him?
Wang Zhennan couldn't help but clench his fists.
His gaze towards Xu Fan and the others turned slightly unfriendly.
These three guys, in what way were they better than him?
The fuck…
Feeling quite peeved internally, he cursed subtly, but since Li Qinghe was present, Wang Zhennan refrained from making a scene.
"Understood, Miss Li," he said.
"Please get into the car."
With a discreet smile, he took Li Qinghe's luggage and graciously opened the car door for her.
After Li Qinghe got into the car, Wang Zhennan closed the door, his face full of smiles, then turned towards Xu Fan.
Like a face-changing act in Peking Opera, his demeanor shifted from polite to utterly cold in a split second.
"You three, go sit in the back."
He commanded directly and threw Li Qinghe's luggage at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan caught the thrown luggage with one hand and couldn't help but smile.
This commanding attitude, was he trying to intimidate him?
It was somewhat understandable, after all, with three more competitors, he would definitely feel some pressure.
Not wanting to quibble with him, Xu Fan took Li Qinghe's luggage and led the two Green Rakshasa members, ready to get into the car behind.
"Hmm, playing games with me?"
His attempt to intimidate had been completely successful. Seeing Xu Fan and his companions heading towards the car, Wang Zhennan couldn't help but hum proudly.
Shush!
Just as they were about to get into the car, the rear window of the vehicle slowly rolled down.
"Miss Li, what is it?"
Seeing Li Qinghe poking her head out, Wang Zhennan instinctively asked.
"Brother Wang, you take the car behind, let him drive for me."
Li Qinghe glanced at Wang Zhennan indifferently and instructed him.
"This?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhennan was dumbfounded.
He had just ordered him away...
"No, miss, these three guys are newly hired by you, I don't think it's quite appropriate."
"Besides, in such a bustling place like Hong Kong Island, they probably haven't been here many times, right? Unfamiliar with the place, I'd better drive for you."
This young man, having just become Li Qinghe's bodyguard, was being highly regarded, and Wang Zhennan felt a twinge of imbalance, and couldn't help but explain.
Seeing his persistent attitude, Li Qinghe grew a bit impatient.
"Brother Wang, I said, let him drive for me."
She looked at Wang Zhennan coldly, almost commanding, and instructed again.
"This... alright..."
Although he was reluctant, since Li Qinghe had expressly commanded it, Wang Zhennan had to comply.
Feeling wronged, he sighed and walked towards the car in the back.
As he passed Xu Fan, he couldn't help but give Xu Fan a cold glare.
Clearly, he blamed everything on Xu Fan.
"..."
Watching his icy gaze, Xu Fan couldn't help but shake his head.
What kind of jealousy was this...
Seeing Li Qinghe calling him from the front, Xu Fan shrugged and got into her car.
Now in the driver's seat, Xu Fan buckled his seatbelt and looked over at Li Qinghe.
"What, you only feel secure in this old driver's car?"
"Pff."
Hearing Xu Fan's joke, Li Qinghe couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
She had intervened just now mainly because she worried Xu Fan would feel bullied.
After all, Wang Zhennan's actions had been quite targeted.
However, this guy seemed totally unfazed, with an utterly calm expression on his face.
"Xu Fan, Wang Zhennan might be a bit small-minded, but in other respects, he's quite decent. Don't take the earlier incident to heart."
Over the years, Wang Zhennan had been responsible for her safety, and Li Qinghe always had quite a bit of trust in him.
Today's incident was unexpected.
Not wanting Xu Fan to have a conflict with him, Li Qinghe took the initiative to speak a word for Wang Zhennan.
