Xiao Can's expression changed again and again: "I am an atheist and I don't believe in these heresies."
"That's such a shame." Xu Tian sighed.
He remembered the rich woman from the Lighthouse Country, who left a deep psychological shadow on Xiao Can.
Think about it, if a woman who is old enough to be your grandmother suddenly says that she wants to marry you, everyone will be affected.
Then, he looked at the other people present.
"what about you?"
"What?" All the bodyguards were confused.
"Would you like to extend your hand and show it to me?"
Xu Tian pretended to be an old god, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and added: "This is a foreign country, maybe I should do as the Romans do and show you the astrolabe?"
Chen Xiaoxiao and the bodyguards looked at Xu Tian like a fool.
This time, Chen Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to refute.
Arguing with people like Xu Tian is simply a waste of her time.
Seeing no one responded, Xu Tian got up and sent the plate to the restaurant's recycling area, and asked the waiter to pack a sandwich maker and a bottle of hot milk.
After Xu Tian left the restaurant, Xiao Can couldn't help but complain to Chen Xiaoxiao: "Sister Xiaoxiao, is this the man that Mr. Tang is attracted to? Why does it feel abnormal?"
"We also find him strange."
The bodyguard next to him also complained: "This kind of man looks like a smooth-talking pretty boy at first glance. Compared with Mr. Gu, he is far behind."
"But he actually expected that Sister Xiaoxiao would be in danger..."
Another young bodyguard pointed to the gauze on Chen Xiaoxiao's face.
"It's just a coincidence." Chen Xiaoxiao didn't believe that Xu Tianzhen really had the ability to predict the future.
"I also think he is talking nonsense."
Xiao Can is Chen Xiaoxiao's staunchest supporter: "He just said that I would meet a noble person. Haven't I met a noble person a long time ago? It's Sister Xiaoxiao and Mr. Tang. Do I need him to remind me of this!"
After breakfast, they had to continue on their way according to the itinerary.
It has been a day since we departed from the Lighthouse Capital Airport. Everything is normal and no abnormality has occurred.
Among the people who came to Lighthouse Country with Tang Bingyan on a business trip this time, apart from some of the company's top executives, were the bodyguard team headed by Chen Xiaoxiao.
There was a group of people hiding in the dark, silently observing all the movements around Tang Bingyan.
Chen Xiaoxiao, Xiao Can and others are fulfilling their duties as bodyguards legitimately.
In fact, Tang Bingyan would arrange a large number of bodyguards to follow her every time she traveled. Nothing had happened in the past, so Chen Xiaoxiao and others just regarded the protection mission of this trip as an ordinary mission.
After all, although the Lighthouse Country is not very safe, Tang Bingyan is not involved in any forces here, so no one will attack her.
Of course, according to Tang Bingyan's current identity and status, people in China would not dare to go against her easily.
Along the way, Chen Xiaoxiao and others looked relaxed and even chatted with interesting stories along the way.
But Xu Tian, who was riding in the same car as Tang Bingyan, kept his nerves tense.
Normally, the bodyguards Tang Bingyan brought out were enough to deal with emergencies, but this time those who wanted to harm them were not ordinary robbers.
In the evening, a group of them arrived at the small town where they planned to stay.
Because this small town has hot springs, tourism is the main focus in winter, and many tourists come here to soak in the hot springs. Therefore, the hotel conditions here are more luxurious than the ones they stayed in yesterday.
Of course, it is only compared with the town yesterday, and it is still not comparable to the five-star hotels in big cities.
Tang Bingyan's workaholic attributes have been fully utilized recently. She reads documents while in the car. After getting off the bus, she either meets with the accompanying senior executives to discuss plans or holds video conferences with domestic employees in her room.
Xu Tian was the only free person on the trip, but it was actually not easy.
He first carefully checked his and Tang Bingyan's rooms to make sure there were no hidden dangers, then went to the corridor.
"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"
Ah Wei, who went back to the room to get documents for Tang Bingyan, saw Xu Tian tiptoeing around in the corridor, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Check the corridor for anyone acting suspiciously."
Xu Tian was startled by Ah Wei. He was so focused just now that he didn't even hear the other person's footsteps.
Ah Wei was speechless: "Mr. Xu, you are the most suspicious in the corridor now..."
“I feel this hotel is unsafe.”
For some reason, Xu Tian had a bad feeling in his heart after arriving at this hotel.
Normally, this hotel was better than the previous one in terms of facilities and security, but it was only after he stayed in this hotel that he felt this way.
"Mr. Xu, you must be too nervous."
Ah Wei suggested: "Would you like me to call the restaurant and ask them to prepare a cup of hot milk for you?"
Xu Tian: "...No need."
His troubles cannot be solved by a book of hot milk.
"Then I'll leave first."
Ah Wei swiped his card and walked into the room. After taking out the documents, he found Xu Tian still standing in the corridor staring at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze. He couldn't help but said: "The eldest lady is still waiting for me."
"Awei, wait a moment!" Xu Tian caught up and hooked Awei's shoulders, dragging him into the room before the door was closed.
"Mr. Xu, what are you going to do?" Ah Wei asked warily.
Now, he also had a bad feeling in his heart.
Tang Bingyan was still angry because of the flaws in the project plan. She really hoped that Xu Tian would not cause any trouble again at this time.
"Awei, you should know all about Bingyan's trip to Lighthouse Country, right?"
Xu Tian sighed and looked at Ah Wei faintly: "You are the most trusted person around her. Can you persuade her to change her plan?"
"Change the plan?" Ah Wei was a little confused by Xu Tian's eyes: "How to change it?"
"For example, we originally had to negotiate with people from AM Company the day after tomorrow. Can we change the time to next week?"
"Then let's set off before dawn tomorrow and go directly to City H in the opposite direction to stay for a few days..."
"Uh... I'm afraid this won't work..." Wei rubbed his forehead with a headache.
City H is the second largest city in the Lighthouse Country. Could it be that Xu Tian felt bored on the road and wanted to go there to play?
"You also know the eldest lady's temper. No one can change the decisions she makes. If it's about life, she can still listen to your opinion. But when it comes to the company, even you can't do anything about it. How can I persuade her?
?”
Ah Wei seemed to be worried that Xu Tian would keep pestering him, so he quickly added.
"Mr. Xu, you are still affected by that nightmare, so you are very nervous. Doesn't the old man often say that dreams are reversed? So if you dreamed that something would happen to us, then in reality it means nothing."
"It's not just a matter of nightmares." Seeing that Wei didn't take his words to heart, Xu Tian was eager to explain to him: "Ever since I checked into this hotel, I have had an uneasy feeling..."
"Ominous premonition? Do you really think of yourself as a magician?"
Before Xu Tian finished speaking, a mean voice came from behind him.
I saw Chen Xiaoxiao, wearing a black tight-fitting uniform, walking over with an indifferent expression.
"Stop that trick of yours. Wei is very busy and doesn't have time to chat with you."
Xu Tian was not in the mood to argue with Chen Xiaoxiao, and his tone became a little more serious.
"This is related to Bingyan's safety, and you actually said it was just idle talk? Do you still remember your duty as Bingyan's personal bodyguard?"
"What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?"
Chen Xiaoxiao's face darkened when he heard this: "Xu Tian, don't think that just because the eldest lady favors you, you can be lawless!"
"Indeed, I can't do anything to you now, but now you are talking nonsense in front of my bodyguards all day long, which will create a very negative impression on them. Talking about palmistry, noble people, and nightmares are all nonsense. I
I hope you won’t provoke them again during your next trip, otherwise if something happens, you will be the culprit!”
After Chen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and left without giving Xu Tian time to react.
"Mr. Xu, Xiaoxiao doesn't speak nicely. Don't mind. I'll leave first." After a few perfunctory words, Ah Wei quickly walked to the small conference room.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Tian was the only one left in the corridor.
He had long expected that these people would not believe what he said, so he was not discouraged. However, the uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, which made it difficult for him to sleep.
…
Early in the morning, shift change time.
After the three teams of bodyguards finished their inspection and made the handover, they went to the bar on the basement floor of the hotel together.
This bar is open 24 hours a day and also provides fish and chips and other snacks, which is perfect for bodyguards who have just finished work to fill their stomachs.
Xiao Can sat among several bodyguards, drinking beer and eating French fries.
"Mr. Tang's pretty face is trying to persuade Mr. Tang to change his route and itinerary again. Unfortunately, Mr. Tang is busy in meetings and has no time to talk to him."
"Change the itinerary? He really thinks our trip is a trip."
"Isn't it? Our route this time is all in remote small towns. There is nothing interesting. I think Xu Tian is just bored. He wants to go out to play, but he has to find a high-sounding excuse about nightmares or ominous premonitions."
Xiao Can, who was still eating, listened to his companion's complaints and agreed vaguely.
"Then the boy still insists on saying that I will meet a noble person, in this remote country, there is a fart noble person?"
"Besides, I have been with Mr. Tang for so long and I am satisfied with my current job. Can I still change jobs?"
"Brother Can is right, I think this guy is just an alarmist!"
Just as these bodyguards were complaining about Xu Tian, they suddenly smelled a pungent smell of rose water.
I saw a well-dressed old woman wearing a Chanel high-end suit and a pure white top hat slowly walking over.
When she saw Xiao Can, she stopped, and a girlish look appeared on her weather-beaten face.
"Young man, are you Chinese?"
"Yes." Seeing the friendly attitude and kind eyes of the old woman, Xiao Can thought of his grandmother and talked to her softly in the local language: "It's so late, you are alone here
The bar is too unsafe, do you need me to help you contact your family?"
"Oh, what a kind young man."
The old woman smiled exaggeratedly, her eyes lingering on Xiao Can repeatedly: "I came to this small town to soak in the hot springs on my own, and the hotel I booked was right next door. I originally wanted to go out for a late-night snack, but you also saw
They only sell fried food here, which doesn’t suit my appetite.”
"I know there's an all-night Chinese restaurant nearby. They'll have light food there."
Xiao Can and the others had already checked out the nearby restaurants and shops before checking into the hotel.
"Really? Where?" the old woman asked excitedly.
"When you go out of this hotel, go to the end of the street on the right side of the door, then turn left..."
"Oh, young man, please speak more slowly, it will almost make me faint..."
The old woman looked at Xiao Can with confusion and suggested: "If you have time, can you send me there?"
"Okay!" Xiao Can didn't think too much. No matter where he went, the Chinese virtue of respecting the old and loving the young should be engraved into his bones.
