"Can you…" Fu Zhi pressed her lips tight as she stared at Li Nanli. "Not always kiss me?"

Li Nanli cleared his throat and said, "This is not kissing. I'm teaching you something, and kissing is just a part of it."

As he was talking, he looked at the little brat through the window. He noticed that there was no emotion in his gaze. He seemed like a puppet without a soul, and he wondered why that was.

Li Nanli pinched Fu Zhi's earlobe.

He was the only survivor of the Equinox Flower case. He had spent a year in the International Crime Unit before being repatriated, so it was surprising that he still retained the faintest hint of emotion as a human being.

Fu Zhi and Li Nanli's flight was taking off at 1:00 p.m, so both of them had already boarded the plane.

Lu Yu'an stayed at the convenience store for a long while.

When he was leaving, there was a roar of planes from the airfield. A big airplane flew across the sky and drew a line in the air.

He raised his head and looked. The driver then asked, "Are you worried about Ms. Fu?"

"Nope," Lu Yu'an replied with a smile. However, his smile did not reach his eyes.

The Lucky Cloud Pavilion was situated on a street where riots frequently happened. It went without saying that he was worried about Fu Zhi, but he also hoped that the man beside his cousin would not return for the rest of his life.

This way, no one would take his cousin away from him.

At the same time, on the plane...

Li Nanli reshuffled all his men and split them into three teams.

This was totally different from what Jiang Jinshu had planned. When he heard the plan from Liu Mi, he was dumbfounded. "Are you saying that Nanli agrees with Fu Zhi that Old Master Zheng is faking his illness and he dispatched an extra team to send him off?"

Jiang Jinshu had not expected that Li Nanli would place so much trust in Fu Zhi! He had witnessed it with his own eyes when Old Master Zheng had been diagnosed with a stroke by a professional doctor, so how could Fu Zhi be so sure that Old Master Zhang was just faking?

Even if Fu Zhi knew a lot about medicine, how could she be so sure that she had not misdiagnosed Old Master Zheng?

Liu Mi touched his nose and added, "Well, this is President Li's plan, and it has nothing to do with Ms. Fu. Besides, he hopes that you can lend Chen Jun to us. Oh yeah, he also needs a few female bodyguards."

"Why?" Jiang Jinshu asked. "We're going to Myanmar for a business deal, and Han Qi and Tang Ying are not coming with us this time. We are extremely short-handed, so why do we still have to dispatch a few people to protect that woman? No! I can't allow this to happen! I want to talk to Nanli!"

Liu Mi stopped him and said, "Young Master Jiang, I'm sure you know President Li very well. He will not change his mind once he's made a decision. You also need to calm down. Ms. Fu is President Li's girlfriend. No matter how much you dislike her, it's a fact that will never change…"

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Jiang Jinshu and Fu Zhi were like water and fire. Whenever they came across each other, they would certainly argue and then part on bad terms.

Well, they did not exactly part on bad terms. At the very least, Fu Zhi would get some benefits from Jiang Jinshu, while Jiang Jinshu was the only one who got the short end of the stick.

"I know she's capable, and I'm not going to deny that, but ask yourself, Liu Mi, have I ever made any mistakes in all my years at the Li Corporation? Nanli would rather believe in her than in me, so you have to help me stop her!"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but first, I have no right to interfere with his decision, and second…"

Liu Mi looked at him with a grin before continuing. "Five years ago, you were ambushed on a mission in Country F because of your carelessness. Three years ago, you fell for a Ponzi scam because you didn't study our competitor thoroughly, and two years ago, you invested in the wrong company. One year ago…

"Have you never made any mistakes, or have you subconsciously discarded your previous mistakes?"

Jiang Jinshu was speechless.

After Liu Mi finished speaking, he nodded at Gu Yanqi and headed out.

Gu Yanqi folded the newspaper and put it in his bag. Just as he was about to take a nap, Jiang Jinshu approached him and said, "It's going to be a very dangerous trip this time, and it took us a month to come up with a plan. Why are you not angry at the fact that Nanli insisted on letting Fu Zhi join him and even changed the plan at the last minute because of her?"

"Why should I get angry?" Gu Yanqi asked. "You've been working with Nanli for so long, so you should know him the best. He's not the kind of person who would let his emotions get the best of him. I'm sure he has his own reasons for changing the plan at the last minute. All you have to do is follow his orders."

Besides, Gu Yanqi had seen with his own eyes how much Li Nanli liked Fu Zhi. "You've been his friend for so many years. I know you are prejudiced against Fu Zhi because she makes you help her with her homework, but you should not let that damage your relationship with Nanli."

"This is not about prejudice or helping her with her homework!"

Although Jiang Jinshu did not like Fu Zhi for several reasons and Fu Zhi did always humiliate him in front of everyone, he was not a petty-minded man who would haggle over everything with a girl. For a period of time, he had felt ashamed to face Fu Zhi because of the Valley Orchid.

He was just stating facts this time. "Fu Zhi is too arrogant and she'll get all of us killed!"

"Okay, yeah. You're right," Gu Yanqi replied half-heartedly.

Jiang Jinshu did not know what to say. It was only now that he realized he was the only one who was still awake while the rest of the world was drunk.

There was no way he would dispatch a group of people to protect Fu Zhi!

*

Myanmar.

Fu Zhi landed in Myanmar later than Xu Wei and Ye Jiu. Since she was going back to her villa, she parted ways with Li Nanli and his group at the airport. She pulled the brim of her baseball cap down and went to the nearby customs zone.

It was December now, and this was not the peak tourist season. However, there were a lot of foreigners because of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.

It took Fu Zhi about 10 minutes to flag down a cab. The driver opened the door for Fu Zhi and asked, "Where are you heading, miss?"

He noticed that the young lady in front of him had a beautiful face underneath her hat. She was wearing a dark green, knee-length trench coat, and her legs were long and slender.

She was even more beautiful than the celebrity that he watched on television. The driver gasped inwardly, but he did not allow his emotions to show on his face.

Fu Zhi pulled her luggage and replied, "To Iris Time Villa."

The smile on the driver's face froze. He thought his ears or his head were messing with him, so he asked, "Huh?"

"Iris Time Villa," Fu Zhi repeated.

"Are you kidding me, girl?" the driver asked. "You're talking about Iris Time Villa, the one on top of Mount Qiu Ling, right? There has been a lot of snow lately, so it's kind of hard to drive up the mountain. Besides, the rally competition is just around the corner. The top players of my country are training on Mount Qiu Ling, and ordinary vehicles like ours are not allowed to go to the mountain now."

Of course, there was an exception. For example, the owner of Iris Time Villa had a special pass, just like every other racer that was going to take part in the competition.

The driver added, "Are you going there to find someone? If you have an access card, I can take you to the foot of the mountain!"

If she did not, the police officers on Mount Qiu Ling would detain his car, and the process of getting his car back was very troublesome and time-consuming.

Fu Zhi was stunned. She did not have an access card. Since she had not stepped into Myanmar in a few years, she had not known that she needed an access card to enter Iris Time Villa.

Nobody had told her before that she needed proof when she was just going back home.

"Then take me to a nearby hotel," Fu Zhi said as she pulled out her phone to send a message to Shen Cizhou. Just as she was about to say something to the driver, a blue magnetic card appeared in her line of sight.

"Sir, please take me to Iris Time Villa."

The voice sounded familiar to Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi turned her body sideways and Wu Zhiheng, who was wearing a casual shirt, appeared in front of her. There were also a few bodyguards behind him.

He was holding a magnetic card in his hand, and it seemed to Fu Zhi that he was showing it off to her.

She raised her brows, and Wu Zhiheng smiled at her.

He had come to Myanmar on the same flight as Xu Wei. However, Xu Wei had been taken away by another person the moment she had arrived.

As for Wu Zhiheng, he had gotten the access card to Iris Time Vila from Ouyang Ya.

He had heard that the owner of Iris Time Villa had returned. Therefore, as soon as Wu Zhiheng had gotten off the plane, he'd wanted to go to Iris Time Villa to discuss with the owner the possibility of letting his father and his team stay at the villa for a short time. Since Wu Qi had other things to attend to, he had not sent anyone to pick up his son.

However, Wu Zhiheng had not expected that it would be so hard to flag down a cab here. He and his bodyguards had been waiting for more than 30 minutes, yet he could not get a single cab.

Just as he was about to call his father, he saw a familiar figure at the airport. He took a look at the figure a few times before he confirmed that she was Fu Zhi.

He followed after her and nearly broke into laughter when he heard that Fu Zhi was going to Iris Time Villa as well but did not have an access card.

After the driver confirmed that the access card in Wu Zhiheng's hand was the pass to enter Mount Qiu Ling, he then turned to Fu Zhi and said, "There is a 5-star hotel nearby, but since you're going to the same place as this young man, you can come with us. It will save you some money too!"

Then, the driver offered Wu Zhiheng a smile, as if he was asking for his permission.

"Come with us? Her?" Before Wu Zhiheng could say anything, the female bodyguard behind him raised her voice and chimed in, "Do you know who our young master is? How can he share a car with a stranger?"

"Ah, it's my fault. Anyway, it's fine even if you guys don't want to share a car," the driver said as he scratched his head. Then, he turned to Fu Zhi and said, "Get in the car, girl. I will help you get your luggage."

As the driver went to pick up Fu Zhi's luggage, a hand appeared and stopped him.

The driver was stunned for a while before he raised his head. Then, he saw the female bodyguard that had talked to him just now.

"Where are you taking her? Have you forgotten that my young master flagged you down?" the female bodyguard said as she took a glance at Fu Zhi.

"We're from the Ouyang Family and we're in a rush. The nearby five-star hotel is not far away, so you can go there by yourself by following the map. We need this cab, so let us have it."

Fu Zhi was left speechless by the female bodyguard. Not only was the female bodyguard acting like a j*rk, but Wu Zhiheng did not say anything about her attitude either.

Fu Zhi then asked, "What if I refuse?"

"Girl, don't try me," the female bodyguard snarled.

Holding Fu Zhi's luggage, the driver added, "You guys do know that she's the one who flagged me down first, right? How about I take her to the hotel first and then come back to pick you guys up?"

"No!" The female bodyguard rejected the idea.

"We have some important stuff to handle on Mount Qiu Ling, and who's going to be responsible for it if we're late? Besides, the hotel is not that far away. If she has the time to quarrel with us here, she should've used this time to walk to the hotel. Maybe she would have already arrived by now." The female bodyguard insisted. Wu Zhiheng, who had been looking at them from the sidelines, chuckled and chimed in, "Forget about it, Qing Shuang. She's a student from No.1 High School. I know her, so she can come with us."

Wu Qi was staying in a villa near Lucky Cloud Pavilion. As for Lu Jingqing, since he did not have any connection to this place, Wu Zhiheng deduced that he must be staying in some unknown hotel nearby. He thought that Fu Zhi must have the same reason as him for going to Iris Time Villa.

After all, Iris Time Villa was the safest spot around there. Unfortunately, Fu Zhi did not have an access card, so there was no way she could get to Iris Time Villa.

Although the Lu Family was an elite family in Yu City, their status was incomparable to the prestigious families in the capital. Wu Zhiheng was going to show the difference between them to Fu Zhi. He was going to have Fu Zhi take the same cab with him, and when they were there, he would enter the villa with the access card and leave Fu Zhi outside.

"We can't judge a book by its cover, young master. Ms. Ouyang said I have to do everything I can to protect you…"

Another bodyguard also added, "She's right. Besides, we still have an important matter to discuss with the owner of Iris Time Villa. If he learns that you brought a stranger into his house, it might leave a bad impression on him."

Honestly, although these two bodyguards were doing their job very professionally, Fu Zhi was speechless.

She was the one who had flagged down the cab, and had she said that she wanted to share the cab with them?

Wu Zhiheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it your way then."

After all, it was not safe there, and he did not want to leave a bad impression on the owner of Iris Time Villa either.
