Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

...outside the airport exit.

Li Ailun looked at the newcomer, quickly reviewed the target's information in his mind, then threw his cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot to extinguish it, and waved in Susan's direction.

Susan noticed that Li Ailun was waving at her. Seeing that the person sent by the WHO to pick her up was actually of Chinese descent made her feel very cared for, especially since she had just arrived in a foreign country. Plus, he was so handsome!

Her good looks and the fact that they were both Chinese made her feel a sense of kinship with this Chinese man she was meeting for the first time.

Susan pulled her luggage and walked towards Li Ailun...

......

"Hello, are you someone sent by the World Health Organization?"

Susan stopped in front of Li Ailun and asked him in English first.

"Yes, Dr. Su, my name is Li Ailun, and I am a security officer on this review team. This is my identification."

Li Ailun's keen sense of smell immediately detected a faint fragrance. He took out an ID from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to her for confirmation.

Susan carefully examined the information on the document, and after confirming the other party's identity, she extended her right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Dr. Sue, welcome to Washington."

Li Ailun also extended his hand, and the two shook hands politely.

Then, Li Ailun very gentlemanly took Susan's suitcase.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Please just call me by my English name, Susan.

Susan gently brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead.

"Okay, just call me Allen."

Li Ailun didn't hesitate. He put the luggage in the trunk of the car and opened the passenger door for Susan.

Susan hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

Only then did Li Ailun return to the driver's seat, fasten his seatbelt, start the car, and drive towards Washington, D.C.

......

In the car, Li Ailun casually turned on the car radio, ignoring the content being broadcast, just to avoid the atmosphere in the car being too quiet and making Susan feel awkward.

"According to the schedule, I'll take you to your hotel first to help you adjust to the time difference. Tomorrow we'll be going to the WHO headquarters for a meeting to meet up with the other review team members. Any questions?"

Li Ailun drove the car at a decent speed, but very steadily.

"Okay, no problem."

"If you need anything during this time, please let me know. If you need to go out, please be sure to let me know, as things haven't been very peaceful outside lately."

"OK, thanks.

"Excuse me, I'll take this call."

Just then, Susan's phone rang. Susan saw that it was her younger brother calling, apologized to Li Ailun, and then answered the phone.

Li Ailun thoughtfully turned down the volume of the car radio.

"Sis, have you arrived in America yet?"

As soon as the call was answered, a man's voice came through the phone, speaking in Mandarin.

Li Ailun's ears twitched. Although the phone wasn't very loud, with his hearing, he could hear it without any problem.

"We've arrived. We just got off the plane and are on our way to the hotel now."

Susan responded in Mandarin as well.

"Why did you suddenly go to America without telling me?" Mom suddenly called me over and asked me a bunch of questions.

Mom said you and your brother-in-law are getting a divorce? What happened? Even if there's a cooling-off period for divorce, you don't need to travel this far. Look how worried Mom is..."

“I’m in the US on a mission, but I can’t tell you the specifics. Also, don’t interfere in my relationship with Liu Mingfeng, understand? We’ll handle it ourselves.”

"Okay, okay, my sister, whatever makes you happy. I'll definitely support you, but I can't say for sure about Mom."

By the way, don't go out at night if you don't have anything to do, and if you do go out, don't go alone. Don't do things like going to nightclubs to get drunk alone; it's very dangerous outside in America at night.

Don't trust the Chinese people there too much; I've heard that those "bananas" (people who are Westernized but actually Westernized) specifically target Chinese people.

“I know, it’s not my first time in the United States. Don’t worry, someone will pick me up. Besides, I’m here to work, not on vacation. I don’t have time to go around.”

"Who is it? My new brother-in-law? You can elaborate on that..."

"Su Yunhao, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Susan's face flushed, and she glanced guiltily at Li Ailun, wondering if he had heard her. How embarrassing!

Seeing him driving intently with a calm expression, and realizing that it was normal for a Chinese person not to speak Mandarin, she felt slightly relieved. However, she still gently covered the microphone and lowered her voice to speak.

"What do you mean by new brother-in-law or old brother-in-law? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up when I get back."

You should stay home and behave yourself as much as possible lately, and don't go running around, okay?

Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. Also, tell Mom not to worry about anything and to focus on her square dancing. I'm not talking to her anymore, otherwise she'll start nagging me again, and I'm so annoyed. I'm hanging up.

"Wait a minute, sis, I haven't..."

Susan finished explaining everything in one breath and hung up the phone without waiting for the other end to speak.

Pretending to be nonchalant, I admired the scenery rushing past the car window, using it to soothe my emotions.

Just then, the car radio news broadcast a report:

"...This afternoon, a high-speed chase occurred on Interstate 84 in Georgia. During the chase, a fierce gun battle broke out between the robbers and police. All three robbers were killed by police. Two county sheriffs were reportedly injured in the incident, according to local police..."

"Welcome to America, the free nation, where gunfights happen every day."

While driving, Li Ailun suddenly smiled and said in fluent Mandarin.

Oh, you speak Mandarin?

Susan stared at him with her beautiful big eyes, surprised.

“I never said I couldn’t speak Mandarin.”

Li Ailun smiled, but when he turned his head, he glanced at the wedding ring that Susan was still wearing on her ring finger.

During his three years in the United States, Lee Allen was under constant high stress due to his special status as a secret agent.

However, during his vacation, he would also go out with other colleagues to hunt for women, partly to disguise himself and partly to relax and relieve stress with a night of intense passion.

However, Chinese American women in the US all inexplicably look like the same template, making it impossible for him to like them at all. Therefore, he rarely encounters a Chinese beauty like Susan who can amaze him at first glance.

It's hard not to wonder, what kind of man wouldn't cherish such a rare beauty?

Is it really true that behind every goddess there's a man who's slept with her until he's sick of it?

Susan noticed Li Ailun's gaze and instinctively covered her wedding ring with her hand. She didn't know why she did that, and realizing it was inappropriate, she quickly let go of her hand.

Remembering that Li Ailun must have overheard her conversation with her brother earlier, and that certain words had been mentioned, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

It's so embarrassing to encounter something like this on our very first meeting.

However, seeing that Li Ailun didn't say anything more and was focused on driving, Susan breathed a sigh of relief and felt the atmosphere was much more relaxed. She then began to secretly complain to herself.

Tch, you know Mandarin but didn't say so earlier, making yourself look foolish. People with thick eyebrows and big eyes are never good people.

However, it seems I was biased from the start and kept communicating with him in English. He didn't seem to be deliberately hiding anything, so he probably isn't a bad person...

Susan couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Ailun's handsome profile. Her face flushed, and she dared not look at him again, turning her head to look out the car window.

All the way to the hotel, Susan was too embarrassed to speak to Li Ailun, and she didn't dare to make eye contact with him.

She followed Li Ailun quietly until they were led to her hotel room, where Li Ailun handed her a room key.

"This is your room. I live next door. Let me know if you need anything."

"OK, thanks……

Goodnight.

Susan took the room key, opened the door, and then remembered to say goodnight as she closed it.

She then gently closed the door, leaned against it, seemingly lost in thought, before slowly sliding down to sit on the floor.

Li Ailun stood outside for a while, and after confirming that there were no problems, he took out his room card from his pocket and opened the door to the room next door.
