Upon his face, seriousness formed, and Wu Xu felt a tinge of respect rise within him as he earnestly said, "President He, please rest assured, an assassin is nothing to worry about."

"Mr. Wu Xu, this is no joking matter, I want to know, on what basis can you guarantee President He's safety?"

Outside the special care ward in the corridor, Secretary Fang looked at Wu Xu with a serious face.

This left Wu Xu speechless. The special care ward was fully guarded by police and had comprehensive surveillance coverage — it was a highly secure setup. Now, it was just him being added; he wasn't causing any trouble, was he? Why was this lady so aggressive, insisting on questioning him?

"Secretary Fang, this is a secret concerning our plan to capture the assassin; please allow me to keep it confidential," Wu Xu dodged the question casually.

"No, I always feel unsafe about you. What if you're collaborating with the assassin from the inside and out, wouldn't that put President He in danger?" Secretary Fang wasn't ready to let Wu Xu off the hook.

"Secretary Fang, please trust the arrangements of the police," Zhao Qian was extremely annoyed at Secretary Fang's repeated provocations which seemed utterly nonsensical—it was just one more person added to the team, and it's not like they were asking for a salary, so what was she fussing about.

"The police's arrangements? If they were good, President He wouldn't have been assassinated, do you think I should trust you?" Secretary Fang scorned with disdain.

Zhao Qian's eyes blazed with fire, her hands clenched and chest heaved, as if she was on the verge of giving the secretary a facial makeover with her fists.

Seeing things turning south, Wu Xu quickly pulled Zhao Qian aside and smiled, "Secretary Fang, if you don't trust me, I can assure you that I won't enter the vicinity of the special care ward without permission, and my actions are all under surveillance, there's absolutely no need to worry that I would do anything harmful."

Secretary Fang snorted coldly, noticing that Zhao Qian seemed really about to make a move, felt her own physical frailty would be no match, and didn't retort anymore, turning away and leaving.

"Hmph, this seductress, if it wasn't for the critical situation right now, I'd have battered her to the ground," Zhao Qian was still not over it.

Wu Xu bitterly smiled, "I say, Sister Qian, after all you're a people's police officer, pay attention to your appearance, you should tone down your temper a bit, if someone purposeful sees this and uses it against your dad, that wouldn't be good."

Zhao Qian's face tightened with anger, looking extremely frustrated.

"Ha ha, but don't worry. Once the case is over, there'll definitely be an opportunity to teach this arrogant peacock a lesson," Wu Xu laughed.

Zhao Qian's eyes brightened, she unexpectedly looked at Wu Xu and whispered, "Didn't see it coming, you're not a good person either."

Wu Xu immediately replied seriously, "I didn't say anything."

Zhao Qian quickly left. The hospital was already foolproof; having Wu Xu come over was simply adding another line of defense.

Bored, Wu Xu strolled in the hospital's garden lawn, casually nodding and smiling pleasantly at people passing by.

Suddenly, Wu Xu's eyes lit up. At the entrance of the hospital, a BMW pulled up, and two charming figures appeared at the door.

Wasn't it Hu Lingzhu and her inseparable friend, Xie Binglan?

Wu Xu moved, wanting to greet them, but immediately stopped himself. He was on a mission after all, looking for another assassin, now wasn't the time to flirt.

However, Hu Lingzhu and her companion were heading toward the building of the special care ward.

Wu Xu was overjoyed and quickly straightened his clothes, walking over with a beaming smile.

"Miss Hu, Miss Xie, what a coincidence."

Seeing Wu Xu, both Hu Lingzhu and Xie Binglan widened their eyes, somewhat astonished.

It had been since that matchmaking day that they hadn't contacted each other, and unexpectedly they met here today.

After a moment, Xie Binglan scoffed, having always looked down on Wu Xu from the start.

Hu Lingzhu, however, smiled and then pretended to be upset, "So it's Mr. Wu, you're not being very fair. I gave you my business card and you never contacted me once. Do I really repel you that much?"

Wu Xu then remembered, indeed, last time at the matchmaking, Hu Lingzhu had given him her business card, but with one thing after another occupying him these days, he had been spinning and hadn't managed to keep in touch with this girl from just an incidental meeting.

His face showed a trace of embarrassment, Wu Xu forced a laugh and said, "I've been a bit busy lately, haha, when I have time, I'll treat Miss Hu and Miss Xie to a meal as an apology."

Xie Binglan pouted and rolled her eyes, scoffing dismissively, "Who wants to eat your meal? Tell me, did you deliberately follow us and set up this accidental meeting?"

Hearing this, Wu Xu was dumbfounded, thinking, damn, isn't her imagination a bit too rich?

Hu Lingzhu was also stunned, and asked puzzledly, "Yeah, Mr. Wu, why are you at the hospital too?"

Wu Xu smiled bitterly, already suspected, this girl is really not cute.

"I'm on a mission, well, sort of a bodyguard."

"Bodyguard?" Xie Binglan's smile grew colder, as if she had already seen through Wu Xu's true colors, "You even protect people to the hospital?"

Wu Xu frowned, slightly annoyed as he looked at Xie Binglan, shit, why is this girl so troublesome, just like the Queen of Flowers, He Jiali, both have sharp mouths, can they even get married in the future? Do they still want to get married?

"The person I'm protecting is lying in this hospital. You should know about the assassination that occurred in Junshan a few days ago."

"You mean Uncle He?" Hu Lingzhu asked in surprise.

"Uncle He?" Now it was Wu Xu's turn to be baffled, what's going on?

Hu Lingzhu noticed Wu Xu's confusion and smiled, "It's really a coincidence, that He Baoqiang who was assassinated, is an uncle who watched me grow up since I was a child."

"Ah~~ So that happened?" Wu Xu was stunned.

Hu Lingzhu squinted her eyes and smiled, "So you are a bodyguard, but I really couldn't tell."

Wu Xu immediately felt embarrassed. What kind of bodyguard, a few days ago, he was just an ordinary teaching assistant, but the recent events were so unbelievable, leading him now to have superpowers and have learned some martial arts...

"Are you sure, you can really protect President He?" Xie Binglan interjected again upon hearing this.

Wu Xu's face darkened immediately, annoyed in his heart, shit, why does this sound just like what Secretary Fang asked?

"Okay, Binglan, stop talking." Hu Lingzhu glanced at Xie Binglan and then smiled at Wu Xu, "If that's the case, can you take us to see Uncle He? I was really shocked when I heard he was assassinated, and I'm still worried about how Uncle He is now."

Wu Xu immediately puffed out his chest and said, "No problem, President He is fine, just shocked, and is now recuperating."

Entering the special care hospital building, soon, Wu Xu and the two ladies reached the floor where He Baoqiang was.

Naturally, upon arriving, they were questioned by the police, who checked their IDs and made phone inquiries before letting them through.

The police present were all somewhat surprised by Wu Xu.

Wasn't this guy just with Junshan's police officer Zhao Qian? How come he is now hanging out with two beautiful heiresses, isn't his speed of playing the field a bit too fast?

Seeing Wu Xu always accompanied by beauties, a group of police officers couldn't help but feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment…

"Alright, President He is in the third hospital room, you can go and see for yourselves, I won't go in."

Wu Xu said with a smile as he escorted them to the door.

Hu Lingzhu gratefully thanked him, then led Xie Binglan inside.

Wu Xu watched their backs, touched his nose, and secretly gave a bitter smile, we really are not people from the same world, even if we know each other, there always seems to be an invisible barrier separating us, preventing us from truly becoming friends.

Standing on the edge of the corridor, looking down at the garden below the hospital, Wu Xu pondered in a mess of thoughts.
