Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

As night fell,

On the overpass.

"Woo-la~ woo-la~".

A police siren blared as it sped towards them from afar...

Xia Keke saw a convoy of several different cars approaching her, so she made a special hand gesture to the convoy. A black SUV without any markings drove out of the convoy and stopped in front of her.

"Bang?"

The car door opened, and a sharp-looking man got out and jogged forward, saying in a low voice, "Chief, what happened?"

Xia Keke pointed at the two vans that had collided and said with a sneer, "These two vans sandwiched Xiao Zhan's car from both sides. Luckily, neither Xiao Zhan nor I were in the car at the time. How did you manage to gather intelligence on Xiao Zhan when he was attacked twice in one day?"

"Why was there no warning at all?"

The man's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Director Xia, we haven't received any intelligence. Who could have done this?"

Xia Keke pointed at the two truck drivers lying on the ground and said, "Take these two guys back and interrogate them properly. Make sure to find out who's behind this."

The lean-fitting man stiffened and whispered, "It's the section chief."

Then he waved to the SUV, and two energetic young men immediately jumped out and ran over, saying, "Hello, Director."

Xia Keke nodded.

The lean man said in a low voice, "Take these two guys back and interrogate them thoroughly. Get them to talk."

"Yes, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Two young men rushed forward, each picking up a truck driver and carrying him to the SUV. They opened the trunk and threw the truck driver inside.

"Ouch, ouch, that hurts so much!"

The two truck drivers grimaced in pain, their bodies covered in wounds, clearly having been ravaged by Xia Keke. Sometimes, when women get angry, they're like tigresses, and elite national security personnel like Xia Keke have real skills.

After the two energetic young men got into the car, they floored the accelerator, and the SUV roared into the night...

Xia Keke said to the capable-looking man, "Send me to the Earl's. I can't be away from Xiao Zhan for too long. Also, you need to strengthen intelligence gathering. You can share resources with other units. In short, I don't want these three attacks to happen again. These attacks are a disgrace to us!"

The lean-fitting man, his face flushed, replied, "Yes, Director. I guarantee there will be no more attacks targeting Xiao Zhan."

Xia Keke nodded and said, "I'll leave the scene to you."

The lean, capable-looking man nodded and then waved to the convoy. An SUV silently pulled up and stopped. The man opened the door and said, "Director, please get in!"

After bending down to get into the car, Xia Keke said to the capable-looking man, "These two vans need to be thoroughly investigated. I suspect that driver is connected to the underworld in Beijing."

The lean, capable-looking man replied, "Understood."

Then, after a pause, he said in a low, tense voice, "Director Xia, it's your birthday the day after tomorrow. I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Xia Keke's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes lowered, and after a few seconds she looked up at the man and said, "Zhang Guoqiang, thank you for your feelings, but we can't be together. There's no room for another man in my heart."

"Hey, you're not getting any younger. Don't worry your parents. Find a good woman, get married, have children, and live a normal life."

The capable-looking man was named Zhang Guoqiang, and he was the captain of the National Security Action Team. Their conversation suggested there was more to their story.

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes flickered a few times before he said, "Understood."

Xia Keke said to the driver, "Drive."

"yes!"

The driver lightly pressed the accelerator, and the SUV quickly disappeared into the night...

Zhang Guoqiang watched the car drive away until its taillights disappeared into the night before turning his gaze away and muttering to himself, "Is there really no one else besides him who can warm your heart?"

"But he's been gone for years!"

"Isn't time supposed to heal all wounds?"

At this moment, Xia Keke sat in the car, staring blankly at the dark sky outside the car window with her beautiful eyes.

A few minutes later,

"squeak!"

The driver stopped the car and said, "Chief, we've arrived at the Earl's."

Xia Keke snapped out of her reverie, opened the car door, and got out. She saw Bai Zerui walking out and asked, "Young Master Bai, where are you rushing off to?"

Bai Zerui's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Keke. He said, "Assistant Xia, it's just in time! Brother Zhan asked me to buy some women's clothes and underwear. How would I, a grown man, know how to buy women's clothes? I was really worried about it!"

Xia Keke could tell Bai Zerui was lying, but she didn't call him out on it, saying, "Is it for Miss Qin's clothes?"

Bai Zerui gave a thumbs up and said, "Assistant Xia is incredibly intelligent; no wonder she has earned Brother Zhan's trust."

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Stop joking with me, leave this to me."

Bai Zerui couldn't be happier.

He actually knew Xia Keke's true identity.

Otherwise, Xia Keke would have gotten angry long ago if she talked to him like that.

Bai Zerui quickly said, "That's great! Then I'll go back and drink with Huang Pengfei to help Brother Zhan out. I doubt Brother Zhan will be done anytime soon."

"Oh right, Zhan-ge is in room 1018."

Bai Zerui turned and left as soon as he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Xia Keke would change her mind.

Xia Keke looked up at the Earl Building.

Because the Earl Building is located in a bustling downtown area and is very close to the offices of the head of government, only fifteen-story buildings are allowed in this area; any higher is not permitted.

Xia Keke had excellent eyesight. Even in the darkness, under the neon lights of the Earl's Nightclub's exterior, she could vaguely see two blurry figures entangled together in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of room 1018...

Xia Keke's face flushed red instantly, and she thought to herself, "Young people these days are really crazy, aren't they afraid of being secretly photographed?"

She took out her phone and made a call.

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone rang for a long time before being answered. Xiao Zhan, slightly out of breath, said, "What is it? Tell me quickly, I'm busy right now."

Xia Keke: "Mr. Xiao, you've already been on the trending topics list. Do you want to be on it again? Can't you be a little more discreet in your actions? What if someone takes a picture of you without your consent?"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhan paused for two seconds before asking, "How did you know what I was doing?"

Xia Keke: "I can see the two of you standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window right now."

"Do I need to say anything else?"

Over the phone, Xiao Zhan exclaimed, "Holy crap, is it really that weird? You weren't spying on me, were you?"

Xia Keke scoffed, "Do you really think I'm just bored and want to banter with you? Besides, I don't have a penchant for spying on other people's privacy."

at this time,

Xia Ke might hear things she shouldn't have heard from her phone.

Her face flushed instantly, and she muttered under her breath, "Mr. Xiao, Huang Pengfei is still waiting for you in the private room to discuss serious matters."

"Don't let your playthings ruin your life!"

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Assistant Xia, don't take this so seriously. Go and handle this for me. Who said I'm wasting my time on frivolous pursuits? I'm dealing with the biggest issue of my life."

Xia Keke pouted and said, "Take it easy, I'm going to buy clothes for Huanhuan. Bai Zerui said he's going to deal with Huang Pengfei. You can continue!"

"Oh right, hurry up and get out of the window so you don't get photographed."

Xia Keke hung up the phone, rubbed her burning cheeks, and muttered to herself, "Once a 27-year-old man tastes a woman, it's like the Yellow River bursting its banks—unstoppable."
