35 Chapter 35 : Dangerous (1/2)

Xiulan was not in a good mood ever since that incident outside her company building. It was three days ago and gossipers won't stop bringing it up until now. People are still talking about it like it was the most interesting subject they have ever talked about.

Add to her dismay, that embarrassing moment with Hongqi was now embedded forever on pictures, videos, boomerang shots and gifs all over the internet.

It was fine if the forceful kiss on the cheeks was the only one captured but they also captured the way she elbowed Hongqi like a criminal and ran away like an embarrassed teenager.

The netizens now calls her ”Tsundere Wife”. It was such an awful nickname. She's not even a hot and cold person.

Xiulan doesn't want to remember it anymore but damn even her employees would talk about it during break and lunch time. While her shareholders would use that card to pressure her to make Hongqi invest a huge amount of money in the company since they were a ”sweet couple”. She got dreadfully exhausted.

”Hateful people!” Xiulan silently cursed while she exits the parking lot's comfort room of the Golden Eagle Arena. She changed her clothes to casual clothes that worn by youngsters these days and a blonde wig with a white cap before meeting Lau Zhu in the parking lot.

It was a big day for fans of music and a drama since tonight's event, the Golden Eagle Awards, has finally arrived.

Not just fans but also two women who were thirsty to catch some punks in the said event. They were not sure if the terrorist will try to create chaos, hopefully not, but it's better to be vigilant.

Xiulan stopped for a while to fix the blonde wig under the white cap she's wearing when she suddenly stumbled with Gong Yuming and her team.

They just got out of their black van and they were walking towards the back door for the artists.

Thankfully, they didn't recognize Xiulan that's why they just passed her. But since they were not aware that Xiulan was there, Gong Yuming won't stop muttering mean comments about her.

”Hmp! I'm telling you, that marriage is false. They are married for almost half a year yet Hongqi's so called wife still blushes from a lousy kiss. Obviously, they are not close. If that were me, we could have made out!” Gong Yuming spouted like poison.

”Yuming-ah... please keep it down. That's not a nice thing to say in public.” Gong Yuming's manager tried to coax her.

”I don't care!” Yuming brassily shouted. She's getting attention from people and they all grimaced by her trashy behavior.

Xiulan quickly escapes the area when the amount of people is quickly multiplying to eavesdrop. Heck, she doesn't want to get involved in a cat fight with that woman. She might get torn to pieces since she's aware how hateful that woman was to her.

She fully knows that Gong Yuming really hates her and might have cursed her to death a billion times. Well who wouldn't since Hongqi made Gong Yuming believe that she was his beloved. Then suddenly, a random woman like Song Xiulan appeared that robbed the title of being Xing Hongqi's wife. Very tragic!

Xiulan kinda pity the young actress. Yuming was full of dreams, hope and love for that wretched playboy. Thanked God she hates him and it's impossible to flourish unwanted feelings like that for Hongqi.

After walking for twenty minutes, Xiulan finally caught where Lau Zhu's Tesla car was parked. She dashed to the car and knocked on the window to get the sleeping Zhu's attention.

Lau Zhu's nap was interrupted by a wild knocking. She was about to go in rage but immediately the anger subsided when she saw that it was her new pretty boss.

”Mrs. Xing! Sorry, I was taking a nap.” Lau Zhu opened the passenger door.

”It's alright.” XIulan brightly smiled. ”So have you seen someone suspicious yet? Sorry I was being so annoying this morning. I kept asking for an update.” Xiulan's bright smile switched to an apologetic expression.

”Ah no. It's fine. Receiving orders from you are far better than receiving morning instructions from Young Master Mo.” Lau Zhu slandering Mo Dejiang.

Xiulan chuckled at Lau Zhu's mean comments against Dejiang.

”By the way, I have something for you.” Xiulan suddenly remembered the fake wig and the android tablet for Lau Zhu to use in their mission. She handed out the items to Lau Zhu.

”A tablet?” Lau Zhu confusedly asked. She doesn't know why they would need a tablet.

”Use the CCTV hacker app that I installed. You will be able to check all the existing CCTV footages within the area as long as you'll be able to connect to the wifi. Don't worry about the wifi password, the app can automatically hack it.” Xiulan nonchalantly explains while she rummages through her bag. She's checking if she forgot something.

”Wow… really?” Lau Zhu was suddenly amazed and her eyes glimmered in adoration on the tablet she was holding. ”Did you create it?” She can't help but ask.

”Yes.” Xiulan affirmed.

”A-amazing!” Lau Zhu praised. She now found a new kind of respect for Xiulan. Not only she was already perfect, but add that she's incredibly smart and the word perfect was not enough.

”Use the long blonde wig as well. We must have different disguise every event.” Xiulan explains again.

”Yes.” Lau Zhu agrees. ”Oh wait! I have something for you as well.” Lau Zhu suddenly remembers the silencer she acquired from her 'brothers' awhile ago. She handed a black fanny pack to Xiulan.

”What is this?” Xiulan asks while she unzips the fanny pack. Her hands suddenly trembles when she saw that it was a gun, specifically a silencer.

”Zhu… do I really need to use one?” Xiulan hesitantly touches the gun. It's been so long since she last held one.

Xiulan's father was a respectable general before he retired; he used to train the Song sisters on how to use different types of guns.

It was for their self defense in case something harmful happens to them. Rich daughters and sons were always the target of notorious kidnappers back in the day and until now. Knowing how to snatch one from the culprits and use it without harming oneself was the main point of the training.

Though Xiulan was more into close combat using a baton or a wooden sword since she used to be in a kendo club. She also knows a little bit of archery and gun tricks. Long range combat was all required by her father.

Her long range skills are now all rusty since she was only in junior high when she last held a gun and bow. During her college days, all she did was study and eat.

Then after graduation, she works too much and always in front of a computer. The only time she had a decent physical activity was during a marathon for their university's 66th anniversary. Then the gym sessions that Hongqi advises her to attend.

”Yes, Mrs. Xing. Just for precaution, you need a long range weapon. A baton won't be of help when the enemies started firing their bullets.” Lau Zhu explains. She's not always beside Xiulan so it's better if her pretty boss can at least protect herself somehow.

Xiulan sweated. She's not fully confident using these type of weapons anymore but Lau Zhu has a point.

”Yes, you are right. I just hope I won't kill anyone or myself with this.” Xiulan awkwardly smiled at Lau Zhu.

Lau Zhu smiled back. ”Don't be nervous. Let's just hope you won't need to use it today so we can have a practice shoot on the next days.” Lau Zhu added.

Xiulan only nodded. She checked the silencer and the other small items inside the bag. The gasped when she saw a flash grenade.

”You even have a flash grenade in here.” Xiulan pointed out.

”In case we need to escape, we need that as a distraction. I also have a sound bomb as well in case we run out of flash grenade.” Lau Zhu explains more.

”Wow! I am now thankful that I hired you for this mission. All I have in this brain of mine was use my hacking skills to eliminate them and use my poor combat skills in case they beat me up. I wouldn't have thought of using these to be honest.” Xiulan confessed.

Lau Zhu chuckled. ”Please also thank Young Master Dejiang. He was the one who assigned me to help you.” Lau Zhu trying to bring goodness in Dejiang's name.
