Chapter 16: Liu Ziyan in a Wheelchair
The Red BMW Mini stopped in front of a European-style villa.
After getting out of the car, Han Xing walked straight toward the villa's entrance, completely ignoring Xiao Yun.
The bald man smiled and nodded at Xiao Yun, saying, "Mr. Xiao, our Han Xing... well, she has quite the temper. Actually, she treats everyone this way except her sister-in-law, so please don't take it to heart!"
Seeing her cold demeanor toward him, Xiao Yun felt somewhat frustrated. However, hearing the bald man's careful explanation lightened his mood considerably.
He chuckled and replied, "It's nothing. After all, we are men. In front of a few small women, we have to broaden our minds; if we fall, we get back up!"
His words seemed to be a form of self-comfort. Fortunately, Han Xing had already entered the door and did not hear him; otherwise, she would have surely turned from fair to furious.
With his hands in his pockets and a casual demeanor, Xiao Yun followed the bald man into the villa. In the living room, Han Xing wheeled out a wheelchair from one of the side rooms, where a beautiful woman was seated.
The woman appeared to be around thirty years old, with her dark hair loosely tied back in a seemingly casual yet elegant bun. Her face resembled a fragrant lotus flower, her skin was as smooth as fine jade, and her eyes sparkled with warmth. Her fingers were delicate like spring onions, giving an astonishing impression—though behind her charming features seemed to linger a hint of melancholy.
Xiao Yun guessed that this stunning young woman must be Han Xing's sister-in-law.
How could such an impressive beauty be sitting in a wheelchair?
Curiosity piqued within Xiao Yun as he pinched his earlobe and activated the Bone Eyes function.
Suddenly, he scanned the beautiful woman's waist and upon closer inspection was taken aback... He quickly turned off the Bone Eyes, furrowing his brow and thinking, "How could this be?"
Then, Xiao Yun steadied his emotions and stood there with an impassive expression.
Although Han Xing had always been cold toward others, she appeared very obedient and gentle in front of her sister-in-law. She frequently leaned down to whisper something in her sister-in-law's ear, causing her sister-in-law's face to bloom with smiles like spring flowers.
The bald man quickly took a few steps to the front of the Beautiful Woman sitting in the wheelchair and whispered, "Sister Liu, the person I found has arrived!"
Beautiful Woman raised her eyes, glanced at the bald man, and then turned to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun had a slight smile on his face, nodding at Beautiful Woman.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat!" The beautiful woman smiled charmingly and gestured towards the sofa.
Xiao Yun walked up to Beautiful Woman and sat down on the sofa, with a Tea Table separating them; her wheelchair was directly opposite him.
Han Xing served Xiao Yun a cup of tea. Beautiful Woman waved her hand and said, "Xingxing, Camel, you two can leave. I need to talk to Mr. Xiao privately!"
Xingxing is a nickname for Han Xing, but Xiao Yun found it strange that the bald man was called Camel. He didn't look anything like a camel; how did his parents come up with such a name?
Han Xing and Camel then exited the living room, leaving only Xiao Yun and Beautiful Woman inside.
Beautiful Woman extended her hand and introduced herself to Xiao Yun: "My name is Liu Ziyan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello, Sister Liu!" Xiao Yun politely responded. However, when he held Liu Ziyan's hand, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart; what a pair of warm and delicate hands! Holding them felt like grasping a bundle of cotton—so soft it seemed as if there were no bones at all.
Liu Ziyan seemed to sense something, her face flushed slightly as she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Mr. Xiao," Liu Ziyan said with sparkling eyes and a smile, "I didn't expect someone so young to possess such great skills. Your performance in that fight at the warehouse was truly impressive; it deserves admiration!"
Xiao Yun was taken aback: "You saw all that?"
Liu Ziyan replied, "That was arranged by me; I had surveillance cameras set up there. I saw it through the closed-circuit television at home. Mr. Xiao, I apologize for any offense caused; I hope you can forgive me!"
"Not at all, Ms. Liu. You are indeed remarkable; being able to set up a killing trap in the underground of the warehouse shows you are not simple!" In front of such a beautiful woman, Xiao Yun found it hard to be angry, but thinking about how he had stumbled over the floor when he first arrived and the knife tips exposed from that hole made him feel somewhat indignant.
Fortunately, he possessed extraordinary skills; if it were an ordinary person, they would have been done for amidst those knives!
Hearing this, Liu Ziyan smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Actually, the knives in the cave below are just made of paper, coated with a layer of glow powder. They are not real knives, so even if they fall, it won't matter!"
Xiao Yun looked a bit confused and asked, "What is the purpose of doing this?"
Seeing the question, Liu Ziyan furrowed her delicate brows, her beautiful eyes shimmering with what seemed like tears. After a pause, she sighed softly and said, "I want to hire a bodyguard."
Xiao Yun asked in surprise, "Is someone trying to harm you?"
Liu Ziyan replied, "No, but someone has been trying to seize my late husband's hotel."
Xiao Yun asked, "What hotel?"
Liu Ziyan said, "Phoenix City."
Although Xiao Yun had not been in Galaxy City for long, he had heard of the Phoenix City hotel.
The Phoenix City hotel is located in the middle section of Jincheng South Road in Galaxy City. At that time, the person in charge of the hotel was Zhou Jiarui. It was said that Zhou Jiarui was exceptionally handsome and talented. He had studied abroad in Japan and then spent a few years doing business in the United States before returning to Galaxy City to open this hotel.
However, unforeseen circumstances struck; over two years ago, Zhou Jiarui lost his life in a car accident. Since then, the hotel fell into the hands of his wife.
Xiao Yun said, "Sister Liu, I didn't expect you to be the wife of the White Jade Young Master. I heard that you are naturally beautiful and extremely virtuous; I truly admire you."
The White Jade Young Master was Zhou Jiarui's nickname due to his strikingly handsome appearance and fair complexion. He was well-known for his righteousness and dedication to public welfare; almost everyone in Galaxy City knew about him.
Liu Ziyan's face turned slightly red as she said, "You flatter me!"
Xiao Yun asked, "Who exactly is trying to seize your hotel? How did you think of looking for me?"
Liu Ziyan replied, "I still can't figure out who the mastermind behind the attempt to seize the hotel is. In any case, as soon as the hotel opens its doors, there are always people coming to cause trouble or even fight. Unfortunately, I thought of hiring a bodyguard; on one hand, it can protect my safety, and on the other hand, it can help me maintain the hotel's business. After all, this hotel represents my late husband's hard work, and I don't want to lose it without a fight."
As she spoke, she paused slightly and said, "Camel is a sworn brother of my late husband and a very trustworthy person. Therefore, I entrusted this matter to him. He has hired a few people from the security company, but none were satisfactory. I asked him to see if he could find any experts in the community, and unexpectedly, he saw you and White Wolf fighting on the street this morning..."
At this point, Xiao Yun finally understood the situation.
Xiao Yun hesitated and said, "But, Sister Liu..."
"Mr. Xiao," Liu Ziyan hurriedly interrupted him, fearing he might refuse and that they wouldn't be able to discuss it further. "As long as you agree to help me, we can negotiate the reward and everything else. Also..."
Xiao Yun curiously asked, "What else?"
At this moment, Liu Ziyan's face was almost flushed with shyness, her beautiful eyes revealing an alluring charm. She opened her lips several times to speak but hesitated.
Xiao Yun became even more curious about what she couldn't say, wondering why she seemed like a newlywed bride.
Xiao Yun stroked his chin and smiled, "Sister Liu, whatever you want to say, just say it directly. I'm thick-skinned and don't mind!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyan blushed even more, her beauty radiating. After a while, it seemed she had mustered a lot of courage and said, "Also... Mr. Xiao, as long as you can help me—Han Xing and I will both... be yours from now on!"
This couldn't be more obvious; it left Xiao Yun gaping in surprise, feeling as if he might spit out a mouthful of old blood. Wait—both these beauties are mine now?
Wasn't this extreme temptation?
