It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Xiao Huai smiled, his eyes shining brightly in the dim light, revealing a lively and captivating aura.

The black hair on her forehead swayed in the breeze, making her smile even more profound.

"Who knows?" he said casually, his tone revealing ease and nonchalance.

In fact, is it really so?

Perhaps a storm had already begun to brew in his heart.

"Actually," Xiao Huai continued, his gaze suddenly fixed on the distance, "this time, it seems like we're on two different sides again."

His voice was still gentle, but with a hint of seriousness. "But I don't think we'll be on opposite sides in this game."

Lu Yuanshi raised his eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Huai with some inquiry, and his eyes met his.

The atmosphere between the two of them gradually warmed up because of that look, and just one sentence was enough to shorten the distance between them.

Xiao Huai's smile gradually faded. He turned around gently, and his red eyes flashed slightly before leaving, with a meaningful light in them.

"Maybe from now on, I'll come to see you more often." There was an unquestionable certainty in his voice.

After saying this, Xiao Huai walked away slowly, his back gradually disappeared, and his black hair fluttered in the breeze.

The words sounded like a casual remark, but they lingered in Lu Yuanshi's ears for a long time.

His eyes were slightly lowered, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Every word Xiao Huai said stirred the most secret corner of his heart.

He knew that Xiao Huai was never someone who would easily reveal his emotions.

But today, a kiss, a look, a word, he couldn't ignore them.

"Do you come to see me often?" Lu Yuanshi murmured softly, the smile on his lips deepened, but his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

That inexplicable expectation seemed to grow gradually in my heart.

Lu Yuanshi's gaze fell into the distance again. Although Xiao Huai had left, that atmosphere seemed to still linger in the air.

----

Xiao Huai set out on the road back to the bureau. As the night deepened, the lights on the street seemed like silent guides.

However, this time the journey home seemed different from the previous ones. Along the way, more colleagues passed by, and they had always had no good feelings towards these players.

Especially in the previous meeting room, when they were discussing these players from outside, the indifference and contempt on their faces were not difficult to detect.

But when Xiao Huai walked into the bureau, those cold expressions were different.

There was a bit more complicated emotion in their eyes.

There was solemnity mixed with unconcealable curiosity.

They were curious why K specifically asked Xiao Huai to open the letter personally.

To ensure that everything was safe, the bureau did not open the letter without authorization.

After all, no one knows what will happen the moment the letter is opened.

Xiao Huai's presence undoubtedly aroused their interest.

Xiao Huai followed the instructor's footsteps and walked slowly along the long corridor.

However, as the journey continued, Xiao Huai gradually realized that this did not seem like he was heading to a meeting room or a familiar room.

Instead, it seems more like it is heading towards some more secretive and heavily guarded place.

prison.

Xiao Huai knew that the bureau was full of curiosity about the letter K had given him, and at the same time, they inevitably had doubts.

K's whereabouts have always been mysterious, and as a newcomer, he was targeted by such a person, which undoubtedly made him more suspicious.

Many people in the bureau were secretly wondering whether Xiao Huai had some kind of connection with K.

This suspicion is undoubtedly dangerous. If any abnormal situation occurs, locking Xiao Huai in a cage is the safest option for them.

Xiao Huai didn't have much feeling. He swept his eyes around calmly. The decorations on both sides of the corridor gradually became cold and hard, and there were defensive facilities everywhere to prevent accidents.

They came to a black iron door. The moment the door was pushed open, the cold night wind poured into the room through the window, bringing a bit of a chill.

Xiao Huai raised his eyes and saw Eve standing in the middle of the room.

She heard the noise, slowly turned her head, and her eyes fell on Xiao Huai.

"I thought you didn't want to come back."

Eve heard the sound of the door being pushed open, slowly turned her head, and her eyes fell on Xiao Huai, revealing a hint of complex emotions.

"I thought you didn't want to come back." Her voice sounded calm, but with a kind of calm scrutiny.

Xiao Huai did not respond, his eyes still showing his usual calmness.

However, what Eve didn't tell him was that the moment he left the bureau, the bureau had already arranged a team of snipers and police officers to secretly track his every move.

The snipers are hidden in various commanding heights in King's Lynn, ready at all times. As long as Xiao Huai makes any unusual movement, they will open fire without hesitation.

But during the time they were heading to the museum, the sniper and police officers lost track of Xiao Huai.

It was a short but terrifying blank period, and when they captured Xiao Huai's whereabouts again, he appeared in the museum.

And there were two more people.

"You know what?" Eve said softly, her eyes still fixed on Xiao Huai, "When you entered the museum, we found two people with you."

Her tone remained calm, with a cold observation, as if testing Xiao Huai's reaction.

She had never really established trust in Xiao Huai, and the appearance of K had added too many uncertainties to him.

"The snipers are in position. If any one of you three does something wrong, orders will be issued immediately." There was a hint of danger in her words.

"Or rather." She paused, looking directly into Xiao Huai's eyes, her voice deeper, "As long as you have even the slightest intention of betraying the bureau, you will be immediately abandoned and become a discarded pawn."

Eve's words were clear.

What she meant was that Xiao Huai was just a chess piece under surveillance, and once he lost his usefulness or showed any signs of betrayal, he would be sacrificed without hesitation.

Eve slowly approached Xiao Huai and said, "You should thank me. I kindly reminded you to come back."

Although Xiao Huai did not respond to her, he even turned off the walkie-talkie shortly afterwards.

Eve raised her hand slightly, motioning the people behind her to come forward.

A uniformed staff member quickly came over, holding a box decorated with a top-secret logo.

The box looked tight and heavy, with a certain unsettling, warning gleam in it.

The bureau's vigilance against K has never waned. They were worried that he would tamper with the letters, so they used such a tightly sealed container.

The box was placed gently on the table, and Eve's eyes never left Xiao Huai.

"It's a good thing you're back. This means we can at least trust you."

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes falling on the box containing the envelope. "Since you're back, why don't we get straight to the point and open it."
