I failed again

When Qi Anyan woke up the next day, it was already noon and Xie Zhixuan was not in the room.

Qi Anyan moved a little and found that his whole body was sore and weak, and his throat was very dry. He couldn't help but curse Xie Zhixuan in his heart.

Qi Anyan struggled to sit up and saw a cup of water on the bedside table. He reached out to take it, lowered his head and took a sip. It was warm water.

After taking several sips, Qi Anyan felt his throat was much more comfortable. He put the cup back and picked up his phone.

As soon as he unlocked the phone, he saw 99+ messages displayed on WeChat. Qi Anyan clicked on them and saw that they were messages sent to him by Qi Yuchen yesterday, but he didn't have time to reply at that time.

Oh, no, I don’t have time to watch it.

Qi Anyan took a quick look and asked which friend's house he was living at. About half an hour later, he asked him where he was again and said that he had asked all his friends and none of them were with him.

Then there were dozens of voice calls, the latest of which was sent at eight in the morning, asking him why he didn't come to work.

Qi Anyan rubbed his eyebrows. What was going on?

Qi Anyan replied to the last message sent by Qi Yuchen, telling him that he had something to do in the next few days and would not be able to go to work.

Then he exited the chat interface and clicked into An Jingcheng's chat box. An Jingcheng asked him about accepting the task.

Qi Anyan looked at his aching arm and began to doubt whether he would be able to carry out the mission tomorrow night.

Should..., probably..., perhaps..., right?

If it doesn't work, use a sniper rifle and don't get close.

Besides, with Jiang Yuan here, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Qi Anyan thought about it while replying to An Jingcheng, "Just answer it if you want."

An Jingcheng replied immediately, "What a perfunctory reason."

"Didn't you seem to be on good terms before? You even had dinner together. I almost thought you had put aside your grudges and reconciled."

Qi Anyan replied, "What a bullshit."

"Don't talk about me. What about you? Are you sure?"

As soon as this message was sent, Qi Anyan saw that the chat box kept displaying "The other party is typing...", but no message was sent.

After a while, An Jingcheng sent a message, "I feel he is" coming over.

When Qi Anyan read this message, he had the urge to beat An Jingcheng up.

This answer was almost exactly the same as what he said to himself the day before yesterday.

Then he saw An Jingcheng send another message, "It's only been a few days, why rush? Take your time."

Qi Anyan was convinced and said, "Okay, it's your own business, you can do whatever you want, you are the boss."

He didn't reply to An Jingcheng's message again.

Qi Anyan turned off his phone, put it casually on the bedside table, lay down again, and fell asleep again in a daze.

When he woke up again, he was woken up by Xie Zhixuan. Qi Anyan looked at the handsome face that was enlarged in front of him, thought about what happened last night, and wanted to punch him.

However, his physical condition did not allow it, so Qi Anyan sat up with the help of Xie Zhixuan, but his body still felt very sore.

Qi Anyan reached out and took the cup of water that Xie Zhixuan handed over. He took a few sips and felt his throat was not so dry anymore.

"What time is it?" Qi Anyan asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's past 12 o'clock." Xie Zhixuan took the cup of water and said, "It's time for dinner. Have some millet porridge. It will help digestion."

As he spoke, Xie Zhixuan picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of millet porridge with a spoon, and fed it to Qi Anyan's mouth. Seeing Qi Anyan open his mouth obediently and eat it, the smile in Xie Zhixuan's eyes grew deeper.

He looks so well-behaved that people would like to rub his head as a reward.

After feeding, Xie Zhixuan put down the bowl and asked gently, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Qi Anyan shook his head and said, "Not for now."

Xie Zhixuan nodded and said, "Okay, then you can have a good rest here today. I have to go to work later, so I won't accompany you. If you have anything, you can call the servants."

Qi Anyan nodded to show that he understood, then reached out to touch his phone and found that there was not much power left, so he asked, "Do you have a charging cable?"

Xie Zhixuan handed him the charging cable, and seeing that he was in good spirits, he left.

After Qi Anyan charged his phone, he clicked on WeChat and saw the message Qi Yuchen sent him. After casually responding to it, he opened the chat box with Jiang Yuan. Before he was ready to edit anything, a call came in.

Qi Anyan frowned as he looked at the phone number. There was no note and it showed that it was from overseas. After thinking for a short while, he still picked up the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, a very familiar voice came from the other end, "An Yang, Ye Shang, I have a separate mission for him. You two won't be together this time."

It’s Bai Ci.

An Yang is his code name in the organization, and Ye Shang is Jiang Yuan's.

"Why?" Qi Anyan asked calmly. This was the first time that the two of them were separated to perform different tasks.

"No reason." Bai Ci replied, just to find an excuse for Jiang Ruoyuan not to go with you to assassinate Xie Zhixuan.

Qi Anyan suspected that Bai Ci was trying to cause trouble, and said unhappily, "Ye Shang and I have always been partners, and there has never been a precedent of us carrying out missions separately."

Hearing him say that, Bai Ci made up a random excuse to brush it off, "This mission is urgent, so I have to separate you. Besides, you can complete the mission by yourself, so having a partner or not won't have a big impact on you."

"Are there no other assassins in the organization?" Qi Anyan asked in a friendly manner, "We can't send them out, so why send him?"

Bai Ci smiled and said, "They are not strong enough, so that's the decision." After that, he hung up the phone cleanly.

Qi Anyan looked at the hung up phone with a frown, thinking about the purpose of Bai Ci's action.

Unable to figure out what was going on, he could only send a message to Jiang Ruoyuan, telling him about it and reminding him to be careful, fearing that Bai Ci was plotting something.

Jiang Ruoyuan's eyes were filled with tears when he saw the news about Qi Anyan. Qi Anyan was such a good man. He was still worried about him at this time.

But he just colluded with Bai Ci and found an excuse not to carry out the mission.

Although he was touched, Jiang Ruoyuan did not rashly choose to go on the mission with Qi Anyan. Regardless of whether he could do it or not, if he did so, he would be letting down Bai Ci's efforts in planning for him.

So, he replied to Qi Anyan, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Seeing him respond like this, Qi Anyan ignored him.

Jiang Yuan is still very reliable when it comes to serious matters. When he says he has an idea, it means nothing will go wrong.

Thinking of the fact that Xie Zhixuan was going to attend the auction tomorrow, Qi Anyan searched for information about tomorrow's auction on the Internet.

It will be held at Shimao Hotel, starting at 7 o'clock, and there will be a banquet after the auction.

Qi Anyan thought about it, called the servant and asked him to get him a laptop as the mobile phone was difficult to operate.

The servant brought it to him quickly.

After Qi Anyan took it, he hacked directly into the hotel and obtained the hotel's layout and surveillance information.

I also checked the list of participants for tomorrow night. The auction did not announce the list of participants and it could not be found online.

Looking at Gu Ruiwen's name above, Qi Anyan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he would meet An Jingcheng tomorrow.

However, Qi Anyan didn't care about this. He focused his attention on the name below Gu Ruiwen: Bai Ci.

Qi Anyan frowned. Bai Ci? Was he the boss of their organization, or was he just someone with the same name?

Qi Anyan felt that the former possibility was more likely.

Qi Anyan suddenly thought of the Bai family, which is as famous as the Xie and Gu families in Country J. It is said that their heir is called Bai Ci.

For a moment, a thousand thoughts ran through Qi Anyan's mind.

The mouse slid down unconsciously, and then Qi Anyan was caught off guard and saw Qi Yuchen's name.

Ah, brother is going to join in the fun too.

Qi Anyan thought about it and decided that he could use the excuse of going to the auction with Qi Yuchen tomorrow to leave Xie's house and go back to his villa to get his things.

It's a good idea.

After that, Qi Anyan began to make a plan.

At dinner time, Xie Zhixuan came back and had dinner with Qi Anyan.

After finishing the meal, Xie Zhixuan looked at Qi Anyan's defensive eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not that beastly. You should have a good rest tonight. We still have to go to the auction tomorrow night."

As he spoke, Xie Zhixuan looked at Qi Anyan, doubting whether he could go to the auction with him tomorrow.

Qi Anyan rolled his eyes and said this as if the person there last night was not him.

Today I pretended to be a gentleman to him.

But if he continues tonight, not to mention whether he can bear it, tomorrow's operation will definitely be cancelled.

Speaking of this, Qi Anyan said to Xie Zhixuan, "I'm going to the auction with my brother tomorrow."

"Your brother is going too?" Xie Zhixuan was a little surprised. The auction did not leak the list of names, so he didn't know that Qi Yuchen would also go.

It looks like I can't go with Qi Anyan tomorrow, Xie Zhixuan thought with some regret.

Qi Anyan nodded and said, "Yes, my brother told me about it this afternoon and asked me if I wanted to go with him, so I agreed."

"By the way, don't let my brother know about our affairs." Qi Anyan said.

"Your brother is not stupid." Xie Zhixuan said faintly, "He will find out sooner or later."

"We'll talk about it later. Let's keep it a secret for now." Qi Anyan looked at Xie Zhixuan meaningfully and said, "After all, my brother reminded me not long ago to stay away from you. If I get too close to you, there will be no good end. I have to be obedient, right?"

Xie Zhixuan said directly, "Be obedient? Your brother told you not to hang out with a bunch of playboys, but why didn't you listen to him? So, are you being obedient or just selectively obedient?"

When he was investigating Qi Anyan, he heard people say that the newly found young master of the Qi family was a scoundrel who was ignorant and hung out with a bunch of playboys all day long. He didn't change even after Qi Yuchen told him several times.

However, Xie Zhixuan looked at Qi Anyan, and after spending some time with him, he felt that Qi Anyan was not as embarrassed as the outside world said.
