Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Walking Fifty Thousand?

Let’s put Tang Yuxin’s question aside for now.

That Jones Warren—did he actually receive professional counter-espionage training?

Under normal circumstances, why would a physicist undergo such training?

Could he be a walking half a million?

But if he really is a walking half a million...

That means reporting him as a spy, if verified, would result in a reward of half a million in cash. Now that would be interesting.

Here’s the problem though: real spies are nothing like what’s portrayed in the movies. Their highest principle when working outside is to remain inconspicuous.

The more low-key they can be, the better. They would never do anything that draws attention.

The behavior of the Warren couple today outright violated that principle, so Xiao Fei dismissed the idea of them being spies as soon as it crossed his mind.

(System, can you provide some information about Jones Warren?)

[This event is not directly related to the host’s dynamic of pampering his wife and raising kids; no answer will be provided.]

Xiao Fei: "..."

Alright then, this system sure has its principles.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?"

At that moment, Tang Yuxin’s voice pulled Xiao Fei back to the real world.

He turned his head to look. This girl was puffing her cheeks and glaring at him.

"Honey, you zoned out! I called you several times already."

"Oh, really?"

"You must be hiding something from me~"

Tang Yuxin pouted and muttered quietly.

Xiao Fei took Tang Yuxin’s hand and sat down on the side, glancing at the three kids who were already asleep, and then he spoke softly:

"Honestly, I didn’t intend to tell you about this. I was worried you might feel uncomfortable knowing someone’s constantly watching over you."

Tang Yuxin’s eyes widened.

"I’m really being watched?"

"Your intuition is incredibly sharp to even sense that."

Xiao Fei shook his head in amusement.

"I arranged two bodyguards to stay around you."

"Bodyguards?"

It sounded like something absurd to Tang Yuxin. She froze momentarily, completely puzzled. Finally, she managed to say, "Honey, you assigned me bodyguards?"

"Not just you. When the babies grow up a bit more and start attending daycare, I’ll arrange people to accompany them too."

Tang Yuxin frowned.

"But why do we need bodyguards?"

She asked in confusion, "It’s not like we’re in any sort of danger..."

"You never know."

Xiao Fei leaned back on the sofa.

"Honey, I think you need to be somewhat aware of the reality here."

"Your husband is worth over two hundred billion. You’re already in the world’s most elite circle, not just Yanxia’s, one of the top-tier socialites, a wealthy wife at the apex. Having bodyguards around you is completely normal."

Tang Yuxin belatedly scratched the back of her head, then cupped her face and started chuckling to herself.

"Oh right... our family is super rich... hehehehe... I always forget that."

Xiao Fei rolled his eyes.

"It’s your fault, honey, for being so rich that I can’t even accurately process it mentally..."

Tang Yuxin stomped her foot lightly, but in the next moment, she began to feel a bit awkward.

"But... honey, I don’t really like the idea of guys watching me all the time."

"As if without bodyguards, random men on the street wouldn’t still stare at you! Besides, I specifically arranged for female bodyguards. If you’re not in any danger, they’d never show up openly."

Xiao Fei chuckled at her logic but fully understood her worry.

The average person hears "bodyguard," and immediately imagines the stereotypical black-suited, sunglasses-wearing, beefy Terminator-type guys. Tang Yuxin wasn’t exempt from such assumptions either.

"Female ones?"

"That’s better; at least I wouldn’t be as uncomfortable."

Tang Yuxin patted her chest, but her curiosity about Zhou Miao and Ning Yi suddenly soared.

She’d never seen such "legendary figures" in person before.

The girl started glancing around the room suspiciously, checked every corner, even peeked behind the curtains.

"What are you doing?"

"I’m looking for them! Do you think they’re like in movies, hiding somewhere, and I just can’t find them?"

"So you suspect they’re hiding here in the room?"

"Not really... I mean... Honey, why are you so adorable!"

Xiao Fei couldn’t help but walk over, pull Tang Yuxin close, and kiss her on her lips. Then he said, "Relax, their room is just next door. I also bought an apartment in the commercial district by Star Moon Bay for them to live in. They’d only discreetly follow you when you go out."

"Honey, you secretly bought homes for other women!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Yuxin zeroed in on the key point of his statement, her mind instantly fast-forwarding like scenes from "Temptation of Returning Home" playing on loop...

"What, should I let them sleep on the streets?"

Xiao Fei shrugged.

"Frankly, I don’t want outsiders living in our home either."

"Hehehe... I don’t like it either."

Tang Yuxin stuck out her tongue—she was really just teasing him.

"Honey, I want to meet them~ Is that okay?"

"Sure thing."

Xiao Fei snapped his fingers and led Tang Yuxin out of the bedroom, knocking on the door of the neighboring room.

A moment later, the door opened.

"Boss?"

It was Zhou Miao who answered the door.

As she stepped aside to let them in, Xiao Fei walked in with Tang Yuxin.

In the living room, the couple sat down while Tang Yuxin curiously studied Zhou Miao and Ning Yi, her eyes sizing up the two women before her.

So these are bodyguards?

They look pretty ordinary.

No suits, no sunglasses, but their muscles are quite defined...

Even though they’re women, one could easily sense the explosive power in their arms and legs.

Facially, they didn’t wear makeup, and their attire consisted of long-sleeved clothes geared for easy movement.

"Boss, ma’am, is there something we can assist with?"

After Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin sat down, Zhou Miao and Ning Yi promptly addressed them.

"Not really."

Xiao Fei briefly explained.

"My wife recently seemed to notice you two, and she asked me about it earlier. I explained, and now she’s curious and wants to meet you."

As soon as he said that, Zhou Miao and Ning Yi looked at Tang Yuxin with surprise.

They couldn’t believe she had actually spotted them!

Oh no...

Was their skillset slipping?

How could Tang Yuxin, an ordinary civilian, so easily sense their presence?

"Ma’am... you could feel us?"

Ning Yi asked, stunned.

It wasn’t just Yuxin—even that Jones had picked up on them...

Xiao Fei suppressed a sigh of exasperation internally.

Since the system wouldn’t elaborate, his curiosity about Jones’s true identity only grew stronger.
