“Hmm…”
Xu Shen's eyes swept across the petite figure behind Mu Wang. Seeing the latter's slightly puffed mouth and clenched and waving fists, he quickly swept his eyes away:
"Your vase is nice."
Mu Wang looked back at the vase on the wooden table behind the sofa and raised his eyebrows, saying, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's only about 100,000 yuan. It's an ancient porcelain that I found."
"It's too valuable." Xu Shen looked at the "vase" again, shook his head and looked away, and asked, "How long do you want to protect it?"
"One month."
King Mu smiled and said, "She has only been in Dicheng for a month. A lady from a noble family might go back in half a month, or even two or three days. She may not be able to endure the hardships of Dicheng."
“Is it hard here?”
Xu Shen couldn't help but think of Su Shuang, she also wanted to escape from Dicheng.
When he was still a fog dweller, Xu Shen did feel the hardships of life, but now that he has become a ruins slayer, apart from facing life and death in the ruins slayer missions, his life after making money is still very happy and fulfilling.
We no longer have to worry about food and drink, and we can use many convenient things, such as having a water heater for taking a shower, and we can also eat many delicious foods. These were luxuries that we could not have imagined before.
"We are used to it, but it is certainly hard for others. Just smelling the air here would probably make them feel unbearable."
The Wood King shook his head slightly and knocked the burnt ash into the gray jar:
"I'm used to living in the city. If I go to the suburbs, the smell of shit and urine from those untouchables, to be honest, really makes me want to kill them all."
“Not really…” Xu Shen couldn’t help but look at him. Was this considered a bipolar disorder?
"Who are we to be? We actually have to smell this garbage smell of feces and urine. Aren't you angry?" Mu Wang looked at Xu Shen.
“…”
Xu Shen didn't know how to answer.
What do those in power really see when they look at life?
"In short, it should be easy for you to protect this young lady and prevent her from getting into trouble. If she gets a little bit irritated, try to be tolerant. I see that although you are in the second form, you don't have any abnormal emotions. Normal interactions should be stable."
Mu Wang said with a smile that this was one of the reasons why he chose Xu Shen.
After reaching the second form and experiencing the erosion of the critical state, some strange situations will occur. Some people will develop a second personality, and some people will become moody.
Some people are impatient, some people are easily sad and depressed, and once they are depressed, they will want to kill people.
Others like to talk to themselves, believing that their deceased relatives are with them.
Mu Wang has seen all kinds of situations, and Xu Shen's state is the relatively normal one he has seen.
"clear."
Xu Shen nodded, and then said: "If that's the case, I hope my situation at the Xumi Bureau can be postponed for a few months."
King Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you really so reluctant to leave the Secret Bureau?"
"It's not that I'm reluctant, it's a favor." Xu Shen looked directly at Mu Wang. Although the other leaders were commanders in name only, the real commander of the Light Chasing Club was actually Mu Wang in front of him. Others had the right to mobilize the club's resources, but Mu Wang had the right to formulate the rules for the entire club. He was the real leader.
In front of the other party, Xu Shen believed that many things could not be hidden, such as the fact that he had been frequently doing tasks for the Xu Secret Bureau recently.
"That old fox, Lao Liu, is just using favors to tie you down." King Mu said calmly.
"Maybe, but some things become meaningless once they are exposed and seen through, not to mention that I really appreciate it." Xu Shen said.
King Mu looked at him deeply and said, "You are still young, and you still feel sorry for harming those who have helped you. I have been through this, and you will understand in the future that only when you are well, can you be truly well."
“…”
Xu Shen tried his best to control himself from looking at the other person as if he were a monster. It was obvious that this Wood King was not normal either.
"The cigarette is gone, it's time for you to leave, go." Mu Wang crushed the cigarette butt into the jar.
Xu Shen took a look, picked up the file bag on the table, stood up and said goodbye.
At the door, Big Lily waited respectfully and escorted Xu Shen out of the headquarters.
Xu Shen drove away and returned to Yanluo District. He contacted Director Liu and told him that he had something to do recently and the previous additional tasks were temporarily cancelled and everything returned to normal.
"What's the matter? Do you need help ?" Liu Jichuan asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious, so I won't trouble you, Director." Xu Shen declined politely.
Inside the office of the Xumi Bureau, Liu Jichuan hung up the phone and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. It seemed like the Light Chasing Society had put a lot of pressure on this little guy.
I hope he won't be disappointed...
…
…
The next day.
Xu Shen drove to the Mona Hotel in the city.
The first time he came to this hotel, he took Captain Zhou’s car. At that time, he didn’t know anything.
Xu Shen looked at the familiar and towering high-rise building, which was surrounded by fog. However, his visual range had obviously increased. When his power was focused on his eyes, he could see through the mist and see things hundreds of meters away.
"The person you want to pick up is right here."
Xu Shen sat in the car and waited quietly, rolled down the window, and looked towards the hotel gate from time to time.
Not long after, his communicator suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
"Mr. Xu, are you almost there?" A pure and lovely voice came from inside.
Xu Shen had contacted him last night. The other party knew he was a bodyguard sent by the Light Chaser Club, and immediately said, "I'm here. Where are you, Miss Nan?"
"Ah, you've arrived? Wait a moment, I'll be down soon, I'm in the elevator." The voice suddenly sounded a little flustered and said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, take your time." Xu Shen said quickly.
After the call was disconnected, Xu Shen looked towards the hotel. Not long after, a figure dragging a suitcase walked out. The suitcase was even bigger than her body, and she looked quite struggling to carry it with both hands.
Xu Shen got out of the car and saw the other person's face when she looked up. It was delicate and pure, with the vigor of a young girl, and her snow-white skin looked crystal clear in the dim light.
Xu Shen subconsciously took half a step back.
The girl looked around and soon saw Xu Shen standing next to the car. She showed a puzzled look and waved.
Xu Shen reacted and immediately walked over with his body tensed.
"Hello, Miss Nan Ning." Xu Shen knew the other party's name from the information and stepped forward to take the heavy suitcase.
At this time, Xu Shen saw an old man with a straight figure and wearing a tuxedo walking out of the revolving door of the hotel behind the girl. He seemed to be the butler following behind her.
Xu Shen was feeling surprised when he suddenly saw the old man's body passing through the revolving door...
Xu Shen's gaze immediately shifted away, and he lowered his head to the suitcase and asked, "Miss, your suitcase is a bit heavy."
Nan Ning was also looking at the bodyguard in front of her, a little surprised, thinking that the people in Dicheng were also fair and good-looking. How could they be like her father said, with ugly faces and covered in mud?
"I'd better carry it myself." Nan Ning quickly took the handle of the box.
"No, no, I was just saying it casually." Xu Shen said quickly.
The two pushed and pulled, and their palms touched each other. Nan Ning blushed and retracted her palm, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."
Xu Shen noticed out of the corner of his eye that the old man in a tuxedo who followed the girl was staring at him with an angry look on his face.
Are you a human or a deity?
Xu Shen didn't dare to look at him directly. When his eyes shifted from the old man, he saw Maeve standing next to the old man. The latter also had an angry look on her face.
Xu Shen's eyes quickly shifted, pointing to his own car, and said, "Get in my car first? Miss, are you new to Dicheng? Are you alone?"
"Well, originally Butler Hong wanted to come with me, but I refused. I came here to work seriously. If Butler Hong came, he would definitely give me orders. Everyone would know my identity and would not really get along with me."
Nan Ning said this, suddenly looked at Xu Shen, and said: "Mr. Xu, you must not reveal my identity, otherwise my coming here will be in vain."
I don't know much about your identity... Xu Shen smiled bitterly. These were not written in the information. Mu Wang only said that the other party had a prominent background, but he did not specify what his background was.
"I will keep my mouth shut." Xu Shen said.
"Yeah." Nan Ning smiled, and then followed Xu Shen to the front of the car.
The suitcase was stuffed into the trunk of the car. Nan Ning stood outside the car, tilting her head to look around.
Xu Shen was already sitting in the driver's seat, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Miss Nan, why don't you get in the car?"
"How... do I open the car door?" Nan Ning's face was full of question marks.
"?"
Xu Shen was equally puzzled. He moved closer and opened the door from the inside, saying, "Miss Nan, have you never ridden in a car?"
Nan Ning quickly stepped in. Although she was about 1.7 meters tall, she was thin and slender. She sat in the passenger seat. She blushed a little when she heard this and said, "I've sat in it before, but I've never opened the door."
“…”
Xu Shen widened his eyes slightly, and suddenly fell silent.
