It was her!

Sigh...

Once he had a clear understanding of the villa’s situation, Xiao Yi’s expression instantly relaxed, only to be replaced immediately by a wry smile, and a tingling sensation in his scalp.

Just now, as he was preparing to examine the situation and make a move, he found that seated inside the villa was a woman, and this woman was none other than Shen Xiaoxiao.

Through the phone call this morning, he already knew that Xiaoxiao was coming to assign him a bodyguard.

Although he was truly grateful for Xiaoxiao’s concern for him, he really didn’t need a bodyguard. Having someone hanging around him like a deadweight meant being under constant surveillance, something he was not accustomed to, and what gave him a headache was figuring out how to convince her.

Despite limited interactions, he already had a basic understanding of Xiaoxiao’s personality and knew that once she had made up her mind about something, it was hard to change her decision.

However, a headache still had to be faced.

He couldn’t just not go home, and not going home wasn’t an option either. He had already sensed Xiaoxiao’s growing impatience. If he dawdled any longer, she would start calling to inquire about his whereabouts.

When he approached the villa’s entrance, Xiao Yi glanced indifferently at the few bodyguards hiding in the shadows, believing themselves unnoticed, before he slowly stepped inside.

Did he notice me?

The moment Xiao Yi’s gaze swept over them, the expressions on the faces of the bodyguards, positioned at five different points, almost changed simultaneously. Their eyes had been fixed on the villa’s entrance, and as Xiao Yi entered, they saw him clearly.

If they hadn’t already seen Xiao Yi’s photograph and known that he was the owner of the villa and the person Miss Shen was waiting for, they would have moved to intercept him. None of them had anticipated that Xiao Yi’s gaze would suddenly turn their way, and their eyes inadvertently met his.

Normally, there wouldn’t be anything strange about Xiao Yi looking in their direction, but whether it was an illusion or not, they felt as if Xiao Yi’s glance carried a hint of a faint smile as he nodded in their direction.

This left them startled and second-guessing.

But that was almost too unbelievable. How could he have possibly noticed them?

After all, each of them was a national elite, all hailing from the country’s ace reconnaissance troops. The so-called reconnaissance troops might seem ordinary in name, but not many knew that in terms of strength, they were truly top-tier within the military.

Apart from special reconnaissance departments, such as intelligence security troops and other specialized units that required certain top-notch elite talents, reconnaissance is an extremely demanding job that requires the highest standards in physical condition!

They had all undergone specialized training in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, tracking and counter-tracking. The locations they picked and covers they assumed were chosen perfectly. Even American agents might not detect anything, so how could this young man possibly notice them? Miss Shen had said that he was just an ordinary student from Z University!

Especially the unremarkable-looking man standing right in the middle.

He was utterly shocked. In their group, he was the leader and the one with the highest strength. He believed his concealment was extremely secretive, having almost completely retracted his presence. How did he discover it?

It must be a coincidence, definitely a coincidence!

He must have just happened to be smiling and looked over here by chance.

It was only after quite a while that the man found an excuse and comforted himself.

A coincidence, yes, definitely a coincidence, the young man is quite friendly. Seeing someone, he just smiles at them as a courtesy, that’s all!

The other men also snapped out of it and secretly found a plausible excuse to comfort themselves.

"Sister Shen, why are you here so early?"

As soon as Xiao Yi entered the lobby, he saw Shen Xiaoxiao pacing back and forth with her face sideways, looking somewhat anxious. Earlier, from outside, he could only sense through his Spiritual Sense that her breathing was a bit rapid, and he heard her muttering, "Why hasn’t he come back yet?" Now, seeing her expression, he realized that she was not just in a hurry, but more importantly, she was worried about his safety. A touch of emotion arose in his heart, and he quickly stepped forward, smiling and saying.

"Xiao Yi, you’re back? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Shen Xiaoxiao immediately turned around, her face lighting up with joy.

"I’m fine, what could be wrong with me, haha."

As he spoke, Xiao Yi deliberately stretched out his limbs to show that he was unharmed.

"That’s good. What made you rush out like that today?"

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi, who indeed did not seem to be in any trouble, and finally set her mind at ease, sighing with relief. She really couldn’t forgive herself if something had happened to Xiao Yi.

She had been truly terrified this afternoon, feeling more and more afraid the more she thought about it, regretting that she let Xiao Yi go out so carelessly this morning. Liu Dongjun was still in G City, eyeing them covetously.

"I promised a friend a long time ago that I would help him with some matters. It just so happened that I had to leave then, and now that I’m back, I went to check on it first, haha."

Hearing the concern in Shen Xiaoxiao’s voice, Xiao Yi chuckled apologetically and then earnestly explained.

"Oh, I see. Anyway, as long as you’re safe and sound, that’s what matters."

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, not asking any further. The matters promised between these students, in her mind, were nothing more than things like helping with some homework, assisting in the lab, or lending some money. Given Xiao Yi’s status as the illegitimate son of Chen Jianguo, it should be no problem for him to support his classmates. She thought that Chen Jianguo had not treated him well in the past, and now, being busy with business, he didn’t seem to come over to be with him. Economically, he would definitely not be stingy, which could be seen from letting him stay in this villa.

She also didn’t ask where Xiao Yi had been on the previous days. She was a clever woman. When she hung up Xiao Yi’s phone this morning, she had intended to ask him about it, but immediately, she discarded the idea because she already had her answer. Xiao Yi had said, "I went on a trip out of town," which was already quite clear. During such a tightly orchestrated pursuit by Liu Dongjun, what else could he have gone out of town for?

If she were to shamelessly keep probing, wouldn’t that be forcing him to admit, "I had to flee"? She would definitely not do something so blatantly face-slapping. (To be continued.
