Xiong Zhong's bodyguards were not to be trifled with either.
While the four men in suits were reloading, the bodyguards from both cars instantly opened their doors and rushed out.
Before they could finish reloading, Xiong Zhong's dozen or so bodyguards were already upon them.
The four men immediately dropped their guns and engaged in a brawl with the bodyguards.
Inside the car, Xiong Zhong watched as the four men in suits slowly began to lose ground, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I brought enough men, otherwise it would have been troublesome."
Just as Xiong Zhong finished speaking, a ghost-like voice sounded from beside him,
"Oh? Is that so?"
Xiong Zhong was startled and abruptly turned his head, only to find someone had appeared beside him at some point.
"Who... who are you!?" Xiong Zhong asked in terror, looking at the strangely dressed person before him.
The person's face was covered in dense, peculiar markings, they wore a red bandana, and had a bamboo basket at their waist.
"Heh heh heh..."
"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that today is the last day you will see the sun."
With that, the person took out a disgusting worm from the bamboo basket.
Xiong Zhong felt a wave of nausea and his scalp tingled.
"You... what are you going to do..."
Before he could finish, the worm leaped from the person's hand onto Xiong Zhong and burrowed into his nostril. The next moment, he fainted.
As the saying goes, even the best fighter can't fend off all attackers.
Although the four men in black suits were more skilled fighters, after a prolonged struggle, they were subdued by the more numerous bodyguards.
After dealing with the four men in black suits, the leading bodyguard approached Xiong Zhong's car to report the situation.
"Xiong...!"
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiong Zhong slumped unconscious in the car.
"Director Xiong!"
Hearing the leading bodyguard's shout, everyone quickly gathered around.
"What happened?"
The leading bodyguard opened the car door, shook Xiong Zhong, and seeing no response, prepared to pinch his philtrum.
At that moment, Xiong Zhong suddenly gasped and woke up.
"What are you doing!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having thought Director Xiong had been shot, only to realize he had fainted from fear.
Xiong Zhong waved his hand and said,
"I'm fine. Let's drive home."
The bodyguards all nodded and then got back into their cars.
Meanwhile, in the back seat of the car, Xiong Zhong stared blankly out the window, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.
After watching the sunrise on the beach, Wang Yuyan's sleepiness returned, and with the beach becoming increasingly crowded, she found it less interesting. She then took Qin Xuan to find a hotel to rest.
As the beach was by the sea, there weren't many hotels nearby.
Furthermore, since many of the visitors were couples, Qin Xuan was a little worried that the hotels there might be...
The two of them searched for a long time before finally finding one.
The name of the hotel immediately made them freeze.
Sweet Couple Adult Hotel.
"..."
Qin Xuan was speechless. Just what he feared had happened.
"How about we find another one?" Qin Xuan tentatively asked.
"No!"
Wang Yuyan flatly refused.
At this moment, she felt a flutter of excitement.
It was her first time staying in a couple's hotel, and an adult one at that!
She was very curious what it would be like inside, and if they would have those little toys she had only seen on discount platforms!
"Let's go! I'm tired, we'll make do."
With that, without giving Qin Xuan a chance to speak, she dragged him inside.
Upon reaching the front desk, Qin Xuan directly broke free from Wang Yuyan's hand, stepped in front of her, and said to the receptionist,
"Miss, please book two rooms!"
"Book one..." Wang Yuyan's brow furrowed instantly. This scoundrel! She pushed Qin Xuan aside and was about to speak, but Qin Xuan covered her mouth with his hand.
Knowing that Wang Yuyan would surely not behave, Qin Xuan risked being bitten to silence her.
The receptionist looked at the somewhat peculiar couple with confusion before saying something that made Wang Yuyan ecstatic and Qin Xuan dumbfounded.
"Hello, sir, miss. Our hotel only allows couples to check in, and each couple can only book one room."
