Chapter 405 - 419: Taking money to solve problems for others is the rule of the underworld.
To give Fu Bin and Chu Ci more space alone, Han Xi and Manman deliberately quickened their pace, putting a great distance between them.
"Recently, my house is undergoing renovation. Can I stay with you temporarily when I return to An City for a few days?"
Fu Bin walked beside Chu Ci with his hands in his pockets, the dim light casting a glow over them, their shadows elongated as they closely walked together.
Chu Ci raised her hand to tuck her wind-blown and slightly messy long hair behind her ear: "Why do I feel like you’re trying to treat me like a three-year-old child and deceive me? Why would you renovate when everything is perfectly fine?"
Fu Bin took out his phone from his pocket, opened a photo to show Chu Ci: "I thought you might not like the previous style, so I had someone renovate it according to the style of your villa, and the baby room is also ready."
Chu Ci looked at the design pictures on the screen, her eyes slightly reddened by the touch.
"Can you let me stay for a few days?"
Chu Ci closed her eyes, holding back the moistness that was about to overflow: "Okay."
"Then see if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, also the baby room is decorated for a girl."
"I never said I would live in it, why should I give you my opinion."
"It’s only a matter of time, your name will definitely appear on my registration papers."
"I really don’t know where your confidence comes from."
The two kept talking as they walked, from a distance they looked exactly like a couple in love.
At the restaurant, the four chose a window-side table to sit down, after ordering, Fu Bin went to the restroom.
When he returned, the waiter just happened to deliver the meal, and as the waiter bent down to place the plates on the table, Fu Bin’s gaze accidentally fell on his hands.
This person’s palms and webbing had calluses, probably from long-term gun handling, and looking at his burly build clearly revealed he was an assassin.
Fu Bin stood up, grabbed his arm and executed an over-the-shoulder throw, the dagger hidden in his clothes fell to the ground with a "clang".
"You guys really don’t give up, huh. Those from the morning have already met King Yan, and you’re still here courting death."
Fu Bin pressed the assassin onto the ground with force, anger and severity flickering across his face.
The assassin flipped over, breaking free from Fu Bin’s hold, and casually picked up the dagger on the floor: "Paid to resolve problems, that’s the rule of the trade."
As he spoke, the assassin lunged at Han Xi with the dagger, Fu Bin kicked the dagger away hard, then his swinging fist landed on the assassin’s temple.
The people hidden around to protect Han Xi sprang out like the wind, swiftly pinning the assassin to the ground.
All at once, the restaurant patrons screamed in panic, chaos and turmoil resembling a car crash scene.
Han Xi’s face turned pale with fear, the dagger had been just an arm’s length from her neck, any closer and she would have lost her life.
Manman and Chu Ci were so frightened they could hardly breathe, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Fu Bin gestured for them to take the assassin away, then turned worryingly towards Han Xi: "Little Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"Was he here to kill me?" Han Xi looked at Fu Bin, still in a state of shock.
"Little Sister-in-law, don’t be scared, Jing Han has already arranged people to protect you, they won’t succeed."
With that, Fu Bin moved to Chu Ci’s side, his large hand tightly grasping her trembling hand.
Chu Ci gradually reacted to what had happened: "Why do they want to kill Xiao Xi?"
