Because of Chen Haoxuan, Song Fangfang lost her mood for shopping. She had Ya Yuyan's subordinates buy a lot of red wine to take back.
Having not seen any assassins for so long, Chen Haoxuan felt a bit disappointed.
Upon returning to the villa where Song Fangfang lived, she pulled Ya Yuyan to drink with her. As for Chen Haoxuan, she didn't invite him; if he dared to sit over and drink the wine she bought, she would kick him out.
What kind of wine had Chen Haoxuan not tried? He wouldn't let himself be scolded just for drinking a little wine! He had a police officer help him buy a lot of snacks and a bottle of high-proof liquor over fifty degrees. Drinking such strong liquor felt fiery in the stomach and was quite enjoyable. So, Chen Haoxuan sat with a pile of snacks, watching TV, eating snacks, and drinking happily.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan so carefree made Song Fangfang feel even worse. She started gulping down red wine; her alcohol tolerance was clearly poor, and after only half a bottle, she began to get drunk, occasionally singing a song.
Hearing Song Fangfang's singing, Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but think that as a Chinese person, he should support Chinese music. As someone from the Future Century, he had many beautiful songs. If he handed all his songs to Chinese singers, then China's voice would surely spread around the world. Should he give them or not? Chen Haoxuan hesitated.
"Well?? Let's see how they perform! If they do well, I'll give them a few songs; if not, then forget it," Chen Haoxuan thought to himself as he looked at Song Fangfang.
Song Fangfang, now drunk, became bolder. She swayed over to Chen Haoxuan and pointed at his face, saying, "You wear sunglasses even when you sleep; you must be really ugly."
Chen Haoxuan stood up, turned his back to Ya Yuyan, took off his sunglasses, and said to Song Fangfang, "Not that ugly, right?" Since Song Fangfang was drunk and had poor memory with blurry vision, he wasn't worried about her recognizing him.
Song Fangfang leaned closer to Chen Haoxuan's face and looked carefully, saying, "You actually seem quite handsome?"
Ya Yuyan also wanted to see what Chen Haoxuan looked like. She put down her wine glass and quickly walked over. Since Ya Yuyan wasn't drunk, Chen Haoxuan couldn't let her see his face again; thus, he put his sunglasses back on.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan put his sunglasses back on disappointed Ya Yuyan. However, she didn't give up and sweetly said to him, "Haoxuan, you let Fangfang see your face; why won't you show me?"
"She's different; she's already so drunk that she can't tell east from west. So showing her won't matter; she'll forget in a blink. You can ask her if you don't believe me," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
Ya Yuyan supported Song Fangfang to prevent her from falling, and seriously asked her, "Fangfang, what does Haoxuan look like? Do you know who he is?"
Song Fangfang replied in a daze, "He's very handsome, but... I don't know who he is. I forgot."
Chen Haoxuan spoke to Ya Yuyan, "Help her go rest! She has a press conference tomorrow and needs to get up early."
The next morning, it was Ya Yuyan who woke Song Fangfang up. As soon as Song Fangfang opened her eyes, she excitedly grabbed Ya Yuyan's hand and said, "Yuyan, I saw Haoxuan's face yesterday. He's not ugly at all; he's very handsome."
Upon hearing this, Ya Yuyan became interested and happily asked, "Quickly tell me what he looks like!"
However, after thinking for a moment, Song Fangfang completely forgot Chen Haoxuan's appearance. She frowned and said, "I... I forgot."
Ya Yuyan rolled her eyes at Song Fangfang and said, "You forgot and still say he's handsome? I think you were just drunk yesterday and mistook the not-so-good-looking Haoxuan for a handsome guy."
Song Fangfang shook her head and seriously told Ya Yuyan, "No, I really saw his face. He was really handsome. I even felt that his face looked familiar! I just don’t know why I can’t remember it now."
"Not even a little impression?" Ya Yuyan asked.
"Other than feeling that he's handsome, I've forgotten everything else," Song Fangfang said with a troubled expression.
There was a knock on the door followed by Chen Haoxuan's voice from outside: "Get up! You have a press conference at 10 this morning."
Chen Haoxuan guessed that during this press conference for Song Fangfang, the Black Rose organization would likely take the opportunity to assassinate her. The previous assassination attempts had all occurred in crowded places, clearly indicating that the Black Rose wanted to create a big scene. Although not many people would attend this press conference, there would be numerous media present. If the Black Rose were to kill Song Fangfang in front of the media, it would be equivalent to killing her in front of hundreds of millions of people. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, it would still cause a huge uproar.
Time was tight, and Song Fangfang hurriedly dressed before heading out. The police from Yashui City were responsible for the security and arrangements of the press conference, so as soon as Song Fangfang arrived, it could begin.
During the press conference, all the media kept asking about the assassination attempt. Song Fangfang stated that she would not bow to evil forces and was determined to fight against them to the end.
At 10:40 AM, Chen Haoxuan noticed a reporter suddenly stand up and throw a spherical object at Song Fangfang. Upon seeing this, Chen Haoxuan quickly took out a foldable steel plate from his trench coat. He swiftly folded the steel plate into a box and used it to catch the object thrown by the reporter. Once he caught it, he pressed down hard on the box.
The reporter who had suddenly stood up to throw something at Song Fangfang couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Haoxuan's actions. What he threw was a Liquid Bomb, and instead of running away quickly, Chen Haoxuan was trying to contain it with a metal box—wasn't that asking for death?
With a loud bang, thick smoke erupted from the box that Chen Haoxuan was holding down with both hands, causing his hands to bleed from the impact. He had no time to bandage his wounds; he tossed the box aside and flicked his wrist, entangling the hand of the reporter who had thrown the bomb with a transparent thread. At the same time, Chen Haoxuan stepped onto the podium and leaped down. Since the bomber was positioned further away, Chen Haoxuan couldn't reach him immediately.
There were many reporters present, filling the entire venue. To prevent the assassin from escaping, Chen Haoxuan ran towards him by stepping on the shoulders of the reporters; his speed was quick enough that those he stepped on hardly felt any pain.
The assassin wanted to flee but found himself restrained by Chen Haoxuan's thread. He quickly pulled out a small knife, intending to cut through the thread, but there was no time left—Chen Haoxuan was already in front of him. If he didn't attack Chen Haoxuan, he would be captured.
The assassin lunged at Chen Haoxuan's palm with his knife. Chen Haoxuan quickly retracted his right hand and switched to using his left hand to grab the assassin. He succeeded in catching hold of the assassin's clothing and forcefully pulled him back while flipping over. As he flipped, his right hand pressed down on the assassin's back, pinning him to the ground. He then sat on the assassin's back, first placing a cloth over his mouth before binding him up.
I recommend a very interesting book: "Days Living with a Female Ghost," which tells the story of a beautiful female ghost cohabiting with a clumsy, chubby otaku.
