Ye Xun knew that Zeus was a genius who had taken over the JS Group at the age of 14, and then single-handedly destroyed the Tiwana mafia two years later, at the age of 16.
It was a truly miraculous feat, one that was unparalleled in the long history of mercenaries.

It was common knowledge that Zeus always kept a low profile.
He was very mysterious: only a small handful of people had met him in person.
Ye Xun’s idol, Zeus, had been a complete enigma to him—up until that phone call.

Xu Xiyan waited for Ye Xun to say something.
When he remained silent, she asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about Zeus?”

“Would you believe me if I told you it was Zeus who ordered me to go on a mission to rescue you?”

The top-level confidential order and supreme honorary mission Ye Xun had received from JS HQ could only be from Zeus.
No one else had the authority to give out those orders.

It was clear, then, that Zeus wanted to protect Xu Xiyan.

“You’re kidding, right? The great Zeus? Protecting me?” Xu Xiyan was curious.
“Do I look like I need to be protected?”

“Nope, not at all.
I pity the thugs and hooligans unlucky enough to cross your path.”

Before entering his room, Ye Xun stopped to casually add over his shoulder, “But here’s a friendly reminder: no man will ever want you if you keep acting like a tough guy.”

“Says who?”

Xu Xiyan inwardly rolled her eyes: Was he blind? She already had someone pampering her and treating her like a princess, okay?

After their friendly verbal spar, Xu Xiyan turned, ready to enter her apartment.
Just then, the door to Huo Yunshen’s apartment opened and a wheelchair rolled into view.

“Jing Xi, are you hurt?”

Huo Yunshen looked at Xu Xiyan, his eyes full of concern.
His heart constricted at the sight of the blood on Xu Xiyan.

Xu Xiyan enjoyed being fussed over by her prince charming.
She had wanted to say she was all right, but now she changed her mind.
“I think it’s a small wound, but it really hurts.”

Huo Yunshen was already right before her.
He grabbed her hand and said, “Come with me, I’ll help clean your wound.”

“Okay.”

Back in his apartment, Huo Yunshen found a medical kit and helped Xu Xiyan clean the cut on her forehead.
Though it had already been bandaged, he wanted to have a look and treat it, himself.

“All done.
Make sure to keep the wound dry.
It should heal up in a few days.”

“Okay.”

His calloused fingers moved from the wound on her forehead to caress her cheek.
Their eyes locked in an intense gaze.

They stared at each other, the air between them growing increasingly warm and thick with desire.

Huo Yunshen swallowed heavily.
He slowly approached her, close enough for their breaths to mingle.

A gentle kiss fell upon her lips—his thin lips tentatively pressed against her soft lips before quickly pulling away.
A few seconds passed, and his warm lips were attacking hers once again.

His large, sturdy hand pulled her into his lap.
He folded his arms around her and began kissing her boldly, without restraint.

Only the gods above knew how anxious and worried he had been when he had heard of her kidnapping.
He was so glad she was back with him now.

At that moment, he wanted only to hold her tight in his arms, and kiss her to his heart’s content.

The next day, the internet was full of the shocking news of Li Dazhuang’s castration.

Huo Yunshen felt that Li Dazhuang had deserved it.
In fact, castrating him was letting him off too easy.

Whoever tried to bully his woman would end up regretting it.
Huo Yunshen always made sure of that.

He told Yi Xiao to make Li Dazhuang and his company “disappear” from Peijing.
He did not want to see Li Dazhuang, that vile, obese bastard, ever again.

The new single “Maybe” and its MV had become a hit in Peijing.
Around the same time, Xu Xiyan was officially picked to be the female lead for “Root of Evil.”

Xiao Yuqian helped Xu Xiyan negotiate the terms of her contract with the production team for “Root of Evil.” Xu Xiyan was now set to formally join the cast of “Root of Evil” in two days.

Before that, Xu Xiyan received a phone call from Xiao Yuqian, asking her to report to Jingyue Entertainment as they had something to discuss.

Xu Xiyan got up bright and early for her appointment.
She walked briskly into the building; the first person she met was Wan Dou.
