He was puzzled, so he went downstairs and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Has this person left?

He didn't care about finding anyone and went to have breakfast first.

I had just sat down at the table when I saw the person I couldn't find earlier walk in from outside.

It wasn't obvious last night, but seeing her all-black outfit today, I realized she really does look like an ancient assassin.

Qiao Chusheng asked, "Where did you go?"

Yan Jin glanced at him: "Outside!"

"Sit down and have breakfast first, then we can talk!"

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down opposite him.

Qiao Chusheng pushed the breakfast towards her. Fortunately, the aunt had prepared enough for the two of them.

"Thank you," Yan Jin said coldly.

"Given your current situation, and the fact that you can't go back, what are you planning to do?"

Yan Jin paused in her breakfast, remaining silent; she hadn't decided yet.

This area is full of places I've never seen before, and according to the character's personality, it shouldn't be easy for me to accept it so quickly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qiao Chusheng asked, "Do you have any gold on you?"

Silver is worthless, but gold can be pawned for a little money, and besides, her origins are unknown.

Yan Jin shook her head; she wouldn't carry any money with her when she went out to kill someone.

"Well then, since you don't have any identification, it's inconvenient for you to go anywhere. I'll take you in for a while, get you some ID, and provide you with food and lodging, but you'll have to work," Qiao Chusheng said.

"What work?"

"You're an assassin, so your only strength is your martial arts. You can be my bodyguard for now, although I'm not bad at fighting either."

After a pause, Qiao Chusheng asked, "Do you have that legendary internal energy?"

Yan Jin stared at him for a while, then reached out and slapped the lamp next to her, shattering it into pieces instantly.

Qiao Chusheng's eyes widened: "There really is! I've finally witnessed the legendary internal energy. What do you think of what I said?"

"What do you mean by bodyguard? Are you here to protect me?"

"Yes, that's right, it's to protect me!"

Yan Jin thought about her persona as a newcomer.

Staying by Qiao Chusheng's side is fine; I can gradually adapt to the changes, so it won't be considered out of character (OOC).

"Okay, I'll protect you for a while."

Qiao Chusheng nodded: "Okay, after you've had breakfast, I'll prepare a change of clothes for you. It's not appropriate for you to go out like this."

"Mm." Yan Jin nodded.

"I don't know your name yet. My name is Qiao Chusheng."

"Yan Jin".

Qiao Chusheng repeated, "Yan Jin, a good name."

Yan Jin didn't say anything. The two were eating when the phone rang in the living room.

Jingle bell~

Qiao Chusheng stood up, walked over, and answered the phone.

Yan Jin watched his every move with a calm expression.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be there later."

After finishing the call, he made another call and said to the other end, "Send a set of women's clothing to my house immediately, something that will make it easy for me to move around."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Chusheng walked back and sat down: "Eat quickly, we're going out."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jin silently sped up her eating. She was already a fast eater, and she finished eating before Qiao Chusheng.

"You eat pretty fast," he said, somewhat surprised.

"Habit."

As an assassin, there is rarely time for proper meals; they usually just eat whatever is available.

Thinking about her profession, Qiao Chusheng expressed his understanding, but also thought about his own past.

"Eat quickly today because you have something to do. You can eat slowly when you don't have anything to do. There's no rush here."

Yan Jin only glanced at him without replying, and Qiao Chusheng didn't mind, after all, this person just seemed to have such a cold personality.

A while later, the person who delivered the clothes came over, and Qiao Chusheng asked him to get another woman's identification document, giving him the information.

After everyone left, he looked at the women's casual suit.

She wore a white shirt, black pants, long boots, and a long leather coat.

This suits her quite well, Qiao Chusheng handed her the clothes.

"Would you know how to wear it?"

Yan Jin glanced at Qiao Chusheng's attire, nodded, and then returned to the room where she had stayed the previous night to change her clothes and boots.

Looking at this outfit, the original owner would definitely not be used to it, but Yan Jin is used to it. However, even if the original owner was not used to it, she would not show it.

A moment later, she walked out of the room and down the stairs.

Qiao Chusheng looked up and realized he was right; it really suited her, making her look decisive and efficient.

His gaze swept over her, lingering for a moment on her beautiful face before shifting away.

Only when Yan Jin looked at him with cold eyes did Qiao Chusheng smile and say, "Let's go, we still have a lot to do today!"

After saying that, he walked out, and Yan Jin followed him expressionlessly.

When they arrived at a car, Qiao Chusheng opened the passenger door.

"Go in and sit down!"

Yan Jin glanced at it a few times, then sat down somewhat stiffly.

"What's this for?"

"It serves the same purpose as your horse-drawn carriage, used to transport people."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door, walked to the driver's seat, opened the door, got in, and fastened his seatbelt.

Then he turned to look at Yan Jin, and just as he leaned over to help her tie it.

Yan Jin reacted instinctively, pushing him away and looking at him coldly: "What are you doing!"

Qiao Chusheng tugged at his seatbelt and said with a smile, "This is to fasten your seatbelt."

"Just tell me how to do it, I can do it myself."

She doesn't like it when people get too close to her, otherwise she'll want to hit them.

Qiao Chusheng smiled and said helplessly, "Okay, bring that tape over here first."

Then Yan Jin fastened her seatbelt as Qiao Chusheng instructed.

As the car started moving, Yan Jin silently observed his movements and the surrounding environment.

Occasionally, a slight surprise would flash in her eyes, which Qiao Chusheng noticed.

"Host, you've maintained your persona very well."

Yan Jin said, "Of course, when will my acting skills be good enough to act? I've never been to the entertainment industry."

"If there's one next time, the host can give it a try."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Qiao Chusheng drove up to a building: "Get out of the car."

Seeing how he opened the door, Yan Jin imitated him, opening the door, walking outside, and then closing it.

"You have a good learning ability; you'll understand it after just one look."

Yan Jin nodded without saying a word.

Qiao Chusheng walked upstairs: "I'm going up for a bit. Are you coming with me, or are you going to wait here?"

"Is it dangerous for you to go up there?"

Qiao Chusheng smiled and said, "No, I'll be down in a bit."

"Then I'll wait for you here."

"Okay, I'll go up first."

Watching him go upstairs, Yan Jin looked around, maintaining her vigilant demeanor.

A moment later, Qiao Chu was born, followed by a very tall man.

Yan Jin sized him up. He seemed unstable, hadn't practiced martial arts, and posed no danger.

Lu Yao saw the person standing next to Qiao Chusheng's car below: "Who is it? You brought someone else with you?"

“My bodyguard,” Qiao Chusheng said.

"You, Detective Qiao, need bodyguards?"

"Of course, there are always people more capable than you!"
