Although she didn’t mind, Lu Lili was still curious in her heart: “Aren’t you afraid that I will be killed and the mission will fail?“
[No, us systems must unconditionally believe in the host’s abilities when we were created, so I trust that you will not let me down!]
Despite the sincere and passionate tone of the system’s response, deep down it was thinking: Ha, otherwise how did it have 98 hosts in less than a century? Among those 98 hosts, you can count on one hand the ones who successfully completed the mission and returned to reality to receive their rewards.
Of course, Lu Lili wouldn’t know any of this.
She thought that the system was still somewhat helpful, for example, when Fu Dezheng suddenly appeared in her rental apartment, the system immediately notified her of who he was.
Well, overall, she was quite satisfied with the system.
Since the system was unwilling to discuss the possibility of someone hiring a hitman to kill her, Lu Lili shifted her gaze to the man who was driving attentively next to her.
Firstly, Lu Lili noticed his hand on the steering wheel, which was clean and slender with distinct joints, as if he had not just beaten someone up.
“Fu Dezheng.”
Lu Lili called out to him, and her gaze shifted from his hand to his face.
“Hmm?” Fu Dezheng turned his head to look at her. His eyes were steady and calm, but not distant, which made people feel at ease.
“Somebody wants to kill me and doesn’t want me to go back to China. The driver who just drove us was actually a hired killer. We don’t know if we will still be in danger in the future.”
Lu Lili paused for a moment and continued, “Would you blame me for putting you in danger?”
Fu Dezheng didn’t answer immediately but carefully thought about it.
He suddenly had a feeling that it wasn’t that Chairman accidentally gave him the wrong photo, but someone didn’t want Miss to return to China, so they interfered and tried to prevent him from finding her.
Now that he had found her, they did not hesitate to send someone disguised as a taxi driver and were willing to create the illusion of a fatal accident to stop him from taking Miss to return to the country.
Who could be behind this?
Fu Dezheng put aside his thoughts and spoke seriously, “Miss, don’t worry. I’m here to protect you and escort you back to China. I won’t be afraid of any danger.”
In his opinion, it was quite common for wealthy people or their children to be targeted by some unscrupulous individuals for money or life, all for the sake of interests.
He couldn’t guarantee that he could protect her safely throughout the journey, but he could promise that he would never retreat in the face of danger.
“Okay, thank you.” Lu Lili was moved by his words.
Not wanting to discuss such heavy topics anymore, she started discussing tonight’s accommodation arrangements with Fu Dezheng.
In order to make it convenient to catch the early morning flight tomorrow, they booked a five-star hotel room closest to the airport.
“If Miss is worried or scared, I can stand guard outside your room all night.”
Realizing that he wasn’t joking, Lu Lili quickly shook her head and said firmly, “No, please don’t! Do you think you’re made of steel and don’t need rest or sleep?”
Perhaps Fu Dezheng himself didn’t even realize it, but at this moment, a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
After arriving at the airport hotel, it was already completely dark outside.
Their hotel rooms were adjacent to each other. After dropping off their luggage and having dinner downstairs, they each went back to their rooms to rest.
“If you need anything, you can call me. Don’t open the door for anyone.”
Fu Dezheng reminded her seriously before they parted ways.
“Okay, okay, I got it,” Lu Lili smiled at him and suddenly joked, “Does that “anyone” include you as well?”
