Chapter 2237 - 2241: My Treat
"You..." Xu Xia was just about to speak when Leng Zirui leaned over, sealing her lips with his, stopping her words.
A moment later, he moved his face away, carefully surveying the area to ensure there were no surveillance devices, then asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"How did you know this was the bedroom?" Xu Xia whispered, asking.
Leng Zirui pointed to his head, "Because I use my brain. Generally, the layout of villas is like this. As for bedrooms, they need to be private yet well-lit..."
He spoke logically and reasonably, and Xu Xia looked at him with admiration, "I didn’t realize there was so much to learn about this."
"Did you think your husband got to this level by chance? I have real skills, you know?" Leng Zirui said with a smile.
Xu Xia pouted, "When will this mission of yours be over? When we were in the car earlier, I was really worried for you."
"Don’t worry, darling. Your husband is so smart, nothing will happen," Leng Zirui said comfortingly, patting her head. "Help me close the door and listen for any noise. I’m going to call Ah Jiu."
Xu Xia whispered, "If someone comes, I’ll cough to alert you."
"Okay." Leng Zirui agreed with a smile, holding his phone and walking into the bathroom, dialing Ah Jiu’s number to explain the entire plan in detail.
Ah Jiu carefully noted the time and details, "So, what about Miss Xu?"
Leng Zirui watched through a thin crack in the door at Xu Xia, who was standing diligently by the door, listening intently, "I’ll take care of her. You focus on getting Mo Mo and Xiao Qian to safety first, and we’ll reconnect after."
"Alright, I’ll go make the arrangements immediately." Ah Jiu hung up the phone.
Hearing the phone disconnect on Ah Jiu’s end, Leng Zirui quickly took out his phone and dialed Qiao’s number, which immediately connected.
"Please wait a moment..." After a brief pause, Qiao’s voice resumed, "Now, I’m in Rome and following your previous arrangements, I’m coordinating personnel."
"This operation must be kept low-key. Luo Ke and the Lei Family Father and Daughter are formidable figures in Rome. If word gets out, our plan to accomplish three goals at once will completely fall apart," Leng Zirui said in a deep voice.
"I understand," Qiao replied seriously. "This time, we’re directly using military personnel."
"Good." Leng Zirui paused slightly, "When the time comes, you must follow my instructions. If I think the timing isn’t right, I might cancel at the last minute."
"This..." Qiao hesitated, "Mr. Leng, I have great confidence in your ability, but you must realize that if we cancel after mobilizing so many resources..."
"If any liability arises because of it, I’ll take responsibility."
"That’s not what I meant," Qiao laughed on the other end, "Alright, we’ll do as you say. At worst, I’ll take a good scolding. After all, they speak Italian and I don’t understand them anyway."
Leng Zirui chuckled lightly, then returned to his serious demeanor, "Thank you, Qiao."
Though it was their first collaboration, the other side was able to put such trust in him, which was enough to make Leng Zirui feel grateful.
"After the mission is over, I hope we can sit down and have a drink on me," Qiao said laughing on the other end of the line.
Even though it was just a few days, Qiao had seen Leng Zirui’s work capability and the progress of the mission firsthand. Initially doubtful of this so-called "ace," Qiao was now thoroughly convinced.
