Click, click~!
In an instant, Ye Fengwu opened the case and saw that inside, the components of a sniper rifle were neatly arranged, along with a 10—25x scope.
Ye Fengwu preferred cold weapons, but he also had a fondness for sniper rifles. This particular rifle had accompanied him for many years; it was a custom-made sniper rifle called "Wolf God," crafted by a military factory just for him.
The rifle's length was over a meter, entirely black, and used armor-piercing ammunition with a caliber of millimeters. Its effective range was 2,500 meters, but in Ye Fengwu's hands, his most impressive shot was said to have hit a terrorist organization's satellite antenna from a distance of 3,500 meters.
The case had three layers. The second layer contained two pitch-black pistols and two daggers, the pistols with a large caliber and two boxes of millimeter steel-core bullets.
When the third layer was opened, there was a long box inside, about a meter long and 15 centimeters wide.
Ye Fengwu gently ran his hand over the box, as if he were caressing his lover, and his gaze was filled with deep confidence.
This was his favorite weapon, a gift from Chen Zuoshan five years ago.
After telling Lin Qiang and the others to rest well, Ye Fengwu took his weapons and returned home.
By now, it was already midnight. Ye Fengwu was afraid of waking Qin Qinghan, so he tiptoed and quietly opened the bedroom door. Using the faint light from his phone, he placed the case on top of the wardrobe.
Click~!
A faint sound rang out as the bedside lamp was turned on. Qin Qinghan, wearing her pajamas, was half-propped up against the headboard, gazing at Ye Fengwu with a complex expression. Her eyes briefly shifted to the case on top of the wardrobe.
Ye Fengwu put away his phone and looked at the peacefully sleeping Jing Si beside Qin Qinghan. He then said softly, "Sorry, did I wake you? A friend invited me for tea and wanted to offer me a job."
Hearing this, Qin Qinghan furrowed her brow. She didn't believe Ye Fengwu's words because she had a feeling that Ye Fengwu had been hiding something from her.
After a moment, Qin Qinghan spoke gently, "Go to sleep."
With that, she snuggled back under the covers.
Qin Qinghan wanted to talk about the ring and apologize to Ye Fengwu for having misunderstood it as a fake, but it was already too late. She decided to wait until tomorrow to bring it up.
The bed was large enough to comfortably fit three people. Even though Qin Qinghan had taken the center of the bed, if Ye Fengwu wanted to squeeze in, he could easily do so.
So, Ye Fengwu slowly walked to the bedside, took off his jacket, and lay down on the makeshift bed that Qin Qinghan had prepared for him.
...
The next morning, warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gradually filling the room with warmth.
Qin Qinghan didn't sleep soundly because this was the first time in her life she had shared a room with a man, even though this man was her nominal husband.
Qin Qinghan's skin was flawless, smooth as a baby's, with a high nose and red lips. Up close, her stunningly beautiful face revealed more of her perfection, especially the delicate fluttering of her long, narrow eyelashes.
The sleeping beauty was enchanting, and as the only man in the room, Ye Fengwu clearly didn't miss this beautiful sight.
Hmm~!
Suddenly, Qin Qinghan's slightly trembling eyelashes twitched, and her hazy eyes slowly opened.
When her vision cleared, she saw Ye Fengwu's face approaching hers.
Instinctively, Qin Qinghan slapped him across the face, then quickly curled up under the covers, her eyes full of vigilance as she stared at Ye Fengwu by the bedside.
Ye Fengwu awkwardly covered his mouth, looking disappointed. His attempt to kiss her had failed, and instead, he received a slap.
Seeing the delicate Qin Qinghan in her sleep, he simply couldn't resist. He had wanted to steal a kiss, but to his surprise, Qin Qinghan woke up.
"You... you said you wouldn't bully me," Qin Qinghan said from under the covers, her voice filled with a trace of apology.
Ye Fengwu clicked his tongue and replied, "I just found a job. I was planning to get a little reward, but... oh well."
Looking at Ye Fengwu's disappointed expression, Qin Qinghan, though sympathetic, remained firm in her stance. She said gently, "Give me some time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fengwu smiled, "Then I'll wait for you."
With that, Ye Fengwu put on his jacket, grabbed a one-meter-long box from the floor, and slung it over his shoulder.
This was the weapon Ye Fengwu had secretly taken from his weapon case earlier that morning. It was perfect for his mission to Jin Hai City.
Seeing Ye Fengwu again donning his worn camouflage outfit and carrying the box, Qin Qinghan asked, "Are you going on a business trip?"
Ye Fengwu nodded, "My new boss is a person of taste. He insisted I accompany him fishing, so he even bought a fishing rod. You can sleep a little more, I'm leaving now."
Qin Qinghan glanced at her phone, it was only 6:30 AM, and nodded, "Take care."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu felt a warmth in his heart. It truly was a blessing to have such a gentle and lovely wife.
...
Luo Yihuang's high-speed train was scheduled for 8:00 AM, so Ye Fengwu had already booked a ticket for the same train. He arrived at the station at 7:30 AM.
Haihua City was a large station, with many travelers, and long lines waiting for security checks. All luggage and bags had to go through the X-ray scan.
Ye Fengwu knew that the box on his shoulder would never pass the security check, but he still stood calmly at the end of the line.
A few minutes later, when Ye Fengwu was about to go through the security gate, a security officer stopped him.
The officer pointed at the box on Ye Fengwu's shoulder and said, "Sorry, sir, please send your belongings through the security check."
Ye Fengwu gave an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry, I forgot."
He placed the box on the X-ray scanner, and when the officer turned his head, Ye Fengwu subtly placed a thumb-sized electronic chip on the box.
When the box came out on the other side of the X-ray scanner, the officer watching the screen visibly furrowed his brow, but didn't say anything.
Ye Fengwu casually took the box, removed the chip, and slipped it into his pocket.
The chip temporarily disabled the X-ray scanner, allowing the officer to see a false image instead of the actual contents.
Since Ye Fengwu's mission was classified, there was no backup support, and even worse, no funding. Ye Fengwu was worried about how he would ask Luo Yihuang, whom he had never met, for funding.
At 7:50 AM, Ye Fengwu boarded the high-speed train to Jin Hai City.
Ye Fengwu's seat was in car No. 9, a business seat, while Luo Yihuang's seat was in the front car, No. 10.
The large car was almost empty, with only Luo Yihuang, Lin Yu, and five bodyguards who were all on high alert.
"President Luo, we'll reach Jin Hai City in three hours. You should rest a bit," Lin Yu, sitting in the row opposite, said, her face showing a hint of wariness and tension.
The explosion on the private plane yesterday was definitely not an accident, which was why she was so tense.
Luo Yihuang nodded, her flawless face still calm as usual. "Don't worry, yesterday's incident alarmed the local troops. Even if those killers are bold, they can't act out on the high-speed train."
But her mood was still a little unsettled. Yesterday, her private plane exploded, and if it hadn't been for the three strangers who intervened, she would have perished in that explosion.
She knew her family was secretly protecting her, but that didn't mean she felt grateful. Her grandfather and father's stubbornness had completely disappointed her.
In car No. 9, dozens of seats were barely half-occupied. Ye Fengwu sat by the window in one of the first five rows.
Because Ye Fengwu was wearing a worn camouflage outfit, the passengers in the car thought he was just a migrant worker who had splurged on a business ticket.
Even worse, the woman sitting next to him was quite beautiful.
The girl was around eighteen or nineteen, wearing sky-blue jeans, and knee-high cloth boots that made her already long and straight legs even more noticeable.
She wore a blue trench coat, and her soft black hair nearly reached her waist. Although her outfit looked slightly mature, her face was pure and beautiful.
However, Ye Fengwu's eyes didn't linger on the beautiful woman beside him for even a second.
His gaze remained unusually calm as he observed everyone in the car. Some were reading magazines, others on their phones, seemingly ordinary, but their murderous intent didn't escape Ye Fengwu's sharp eyes.
The only reassuring thing was that the man and woman who knew about gangqi weren't here.
So many killers had been sent after Luo Yihuang. She must be a person of great importance...
Suddenly, Ye Fengwu's brow furrowed. The only one acting strangely in the car was the girl sitting next to him. Not strange, but normal.
The girl looked mature in her clothing, but her face was sweet and pretty, and she had a faint fragrance of youth.
Ye Fengwu cursed inwardly, "Damn, where did this ordinary person come from?"
