As usual, she first turned on the computer to read several high-density documents from the Xue family think tank, and then changed into snow-white sportswear to work out.
She is not a rigid workaholic. She knows that only by having a healthy body can she work efficiently and have a clear mind to make difficult decisions.
not long,
Half an hour of exercise caused a fine layer of sweat to form on her body. Xue Bailing, whose cheeks were slightly red, exhaled a breath of fragrance and slowly entered the bathroom to take a shower.
She wasn't very interested in bathing, not because she was afraid of wasting time, but because she didn't like exposing her naked body to the air for too long, so taking a shower naturally became her first choice.
After a quarter of an hour of showering, Xue Bailing came out wearing a bathrobe and washed away the slight sweat and fatigue. As soon as she put on her belt, there was a knock on the door.
After opening the door, confirming the other party's identity, he turned back to the living room, but the man behind him closed the door behind him and followed in with a calm expression. Before Xue Bailing could sit down, the man frowned and asked, "Miss, we will negotiate in the morning. "
"Yeah." Xue Bailing took a sip of coffee and responded lightly,
"But you didn't inform your subordinates."
The man was not a stranger. When Lin Ze and Xue Bailing spent a night on the desert island, he was the one who secretly found out the evil spirits in the Xue family and rescued them from the Yellow Island. The man's name was Mu Qing. , a retired cutting-edge scout who is stable, has a clean foundation, and has strong execution ability. He is one of the few confidants of Xue Bailing.
Just as Lin Ze asked, how could Xue Bailing, as the head of the Xue family, go to Tokyo alone? Of course she did not come alone. Mu Qing had arrived in Tokyo the day before Xue Bailing's trip and protected her in secret. Concerning Xue Bailing's safety,
Of course, because of Lin Ze's presence, his protection was significantly weakened, and the distance was further extended to the point where even Lin Ze could not detect it.
This was Xue Bailing's intention. Mu Qing didn't quite understand the meaning behind this order, but he carried it out strictly.
Xue Bailing moved the mouse, her face as white as snow was cold and elegant, with no emotion at all, she just said slowly: "You know I didn't inform you."
Mu Qing's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head and said, "Your situation is a bit dangerous."
"You know I didn't inform you." Xue Bailing repeated,
"I'm sorry." Mu Qing lowered his head and said slowly, "I'm just worried about you..."
"I said, if I didn't let you show up, you should never show up." Xue Bailing frowned slightly, seeming to be quite displeased with Mu Qing's decision.
"But you have to negotiate today." Mu Qing said hesitantly.
"This is my business." Xue Bailing's expression turned cold.
"Mr. Lin went out last night and hasn't come back yet." Mu Qing said slowly. The implication was very clear. He might not be able to accompany Xue Bailing in time to negotiate.
"This is his business." Xue Bailing said coldly,
"So I hope to accompany you to negotiate." Mu Qing said awkwardly,
It stands to reason that as Xue Bailing's confidant, he can even be said to be a hidden bodyguard. He has the obligation and responsibility to protect Xue Bailing's safety, but this master who has never been seen through does not allow himself to protect him, even if he doesn't. She didn't want to appear without Lin Ze by her side, which made Mu Qing feel powerless and helpless.
"No need." Xue Bailing's tone was cold,
"But,."
"But." Xue Bailing raised her eyebrows but did not continue speaking.
She didn't speak, and Mu Qing didn't know what to say. The room fell into silence. Xue Bailing drank coffee quietly, while Mu Qing lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Let's go." Xue Bailing raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Mu Qing,
When Mu Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with an embarrassed look on his face: "Now."
Xue Bailing fell into silence again. Upon seeing this, Mu Qing turned around helplessly and exited the room.
He couldn't understand, and he had never understood Xue Bailing's thoughts. She asked him to leave, so he had no choice but to leave.
It was less than seven o'clock when Mu Qing left the room, and it was already eight o'clock when Xue Bailing went out. No one knows what Xue Bailing did or did not do during this hour.
The car arranged by the Watanabe family was waiting at the hotel door. When Xue Bailing stepped out of the elevator, she went straight to the door.
Her steps were very slow, which could even be described as a snail.
There is a hint of hope in her charming eyes, and there is a hint of sadness on her charming face. The closer she is to the door, the darker the sadness becomes.
suddenly,
When Xue Bailing could walk out of the door in almost ten steps, her slightly depressed aura suddenly bloomed. If someone stood close to her at this moment, they could clearly feel the coldness on her body gradually warming up.
Of course, Xue Bailing has never been a woman who expressed her inner activities in words. She just suppressed the sadness on her face, replaced it with a plain and elegant face, and faced the man walking with an exaggerated figure.
The man was holding a bag of food in his hand, which he must have bought at the breakfast shop across the street.
His hair is very black and stylish. If you get closer and smell it, you can smell the gel. Obviously, before returning to the hotel, this man went to a hair salon to have his hair done and filled his head with gel.
Wearing a cheap and even musty-smelling suit, but overall quite neat,
His face was as pale as ever, but his eyes were bright and lively, much more lively than his usual careless appearance.
The man is Lin Ze,
After he saw Xue Bailing face to face, he coolly threw the cigarette butt between his fingers that was almost burned to the butt of the cigarette into the trash can. He carried the food and said to Xue Bailing who was standing there: "Have you had breakfast?"
"No." Xue Bailing shook her head lightly.
"Hurry or not." Lin Ze took two steps closer and said,
Xue Bailing's charming eyes glanced at the driver of the Watanabe family who was waiting impatiently outside the door, and a seductive arc escaped from the corner of her lips: "I won't rush."
"Let's talk after we have a full stomach." Lin Ze grinned, revealing eight white teeth. He had already walked to the opposite side of Xue Bailing. The two were only about ten centimeters apart and could almost smell each other's breath.
Xue Bailing's body fragrance naturally smells good, but Lin Ze's body smells mixed with the smell of hair salon and musty smell, which is very strange.
"Okay." Xue Bailing nodded,
Lin Ze smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the restaurant on the side.
The breakfast is very rich, including fragrant millet porridge, golden fried dough sticks, pickles for the porridge, a box of siomai and a plate of xiaolongbao.
Lin Ze took the food out of the bag one by one and placed it on the dining table in an orderly manner. He opened a pair of chopsticks for Xue Bailing, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Eat it, a pure Chinese breakfast."
Xue Bailing took the chopsticks calmly, picked up the siomai and chewed it carefully.
When Lin Ze saw this, he also started to eat quite hungrily, as if he was worried that Xue Bailing would eat too fast and take away his breakfast.
Breakfast is for two people. It seemed that it was specially prepared in anticipation that Xue Bailing had not left yet.
Xue Bailing ate calmly. Although Lin Ze was more intense than Xue Bailing, he was not as turbulent as before.
The breakfast lasted half an hour before it was over. Lin Ze burped, took a sip of milk tea, patted his chest and abdomen and said, "So full."
Xue Bailing didn't say anything, just wiped the corners of her mouth slowly,
"When will the negotiations start?" Lin Ze asked calmly,
"Nine o'clock." Xue Bailing said lightly,
Lin Ze looked at the time, it was already eight fifty, and said helplessly: "We seem to be late."
"Yeah." Xue Bailing nodded,
"Let's go now." Lin Ze asked,
"Okay." Xue Bailing said,
Standing up, the two of them walked out of the restaurant side by side and headed for the door.
When Lin Ze was about to leave the door, he lit a cigarette in the wind, smoked half of it in one breath, and let the smoke circulate in his lungs for a long time. Then he exhaled a long stream of smoke, then smashed his mouth again, and then closed it. lips for a moment,
"What's wrong?" Xue Bailing turned around slightly and asked,
"Fake cigarettes." Lin Ze said vaguely,
"Oh." Xue Bailing walked forward slowly and entered the carriage,
But at the moment Xue Bailing turned around, Lin Ze couldn't help but shed a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, licked it off with his tongue, and muttered as he walked: "It seems that I will have to control my appetite in the future..."
The car slowly drove out. In the corner of the side hall, Mu Qing took off his hat, his frown never loosened from the beginning to the end.
He has followed Xue Bailing for nearly five years, but he has never been able to understand Xue Bailing's mind. This time, he did.
He understood why Xue Bailing insisted not to let him go together.
She is angry,
Angry,,
This is a very childish word that should not appear on Xue Bailing.
Everything she does is carefully measured, and she will not do it until the success rate is extremely high.
But this time, she didn't measure it, and she didn't know how high the success rate would be. In fact, in Mu Qing's opinion, this was just a gamble, and the chance of losing was still very high.
But she still chose to do this,
Did she know that if Lin Ze could not arrive in time, she would be in danger and might not even be able to return home?
Bystanders know clearly, Mu Qing believes that Xue Bailing, the authority, also knows everything.
But why would she do this?
"From a woman who could give up everything for her family to what she is today, is it good or bad?" Mu Qing shook his head slightly. He didn't want to and couldn't comment on Xue Bailing's behavior. He was just Xue Bailing's bodyguard, and said To put it nicely, he is her confidant, to put it worse, he is a part-time worker. Xue Bailing gave him a sense of belonging and a strong sense of honor, but she could not give him a suitable identity.
In the final analysis, he is just a gold medal fighter next to Xue Bailing. What he has to do is to do his best to protect Xue Bailing's safety. The rest is not under his control, and he has no ability to do so.
"What is she thinking? As a bodyguard, I can guess a little bit. What about Lin Ze? What is he thinking about? Does he know what the boss is thinking?" Mu Qing shook his head again. Shaking his head, he murmured, "Is this what is called dividing people into groups?"
