The Rest of My Life

To my surprise, Zhou Xun's expression was extremely calm. "Since you and Team Tao are here, then I don't need to fight with Gu Qi anymore."

My eyes widened.

Did he come to New York, had something to do with Gucci?

Shen Zixian and Tao Zhizhou had come to track down Gu Qi, and they had even talked to Zhou Xun beforehand?

This gave me an absurd feeling. I had always felt that Zhou Xun was not on good terms with these two men.

Shen Zixian walked to the bedside, looked at Zhou Xun, and said, "You really know how to be lazy."

Zhou Xun smiled, "I am just an ordinary citizen who needs protection."

Shen Zixian: "..."

He was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time.

I couldn't help but laugh.

For the dignified third young master of the Zhou clan to say that he needed to be protected, it was truly a sight to behold.

Shen Zixian coldly snorted and said, "I can see that you're full of energy, you should be able to recover soon, at that time you won't even need our protection."

I looked at him.

Although his tone is not very good, but he said that Zhou Xun will soon recover, I am naturally happy.

Zhou Xun smiled but did not reply.

Shen Zixian sat down in a chair to the side, treating himself as an outsider.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "However, I do have to thank you for this."

I was curious.

What did he mean by 'thank you'?

This time, even Tao Zhizhou came to New York City.

Could it be that when Zhou Xun said he had something on, it was actually to cooperate with Tao Zhizhou, Shen Zixian, and the others?

Unfortunately, neither of them had any intention of explaining. Zhou Xun smiled faintly and said, "There is no need to be courteous. It is also the duty of us citizens to cooperate with a public official in handling a case."

I curled my lips. I really didn't know what kind of riddle these two were playing.

Shen Zisheng suddenly turned to me and said: "Nian, let me tell you, although I did not have the time to be the hero and save the beauty, giving away my chance to Wednesday, that does not mean that I do not like you. You must not take it to heart."

I said in a speechless manner, "Senior Brother Shen, don't joke around. It's more normal when you're joking."

Shen Zixian looked at me innocently.

Zhou Xun's face darkened as he said coldly, "Since Young Master Shen has confirmed my safety, you should be able to return the favor, I will not keep you any longer."

Shen Zixian: "..."

Zhou Xun immediately called for Zhou Ning to come in and ask him to send them off.

Shen Zisheng shouted: "I've come with good intentions to see you, how can you be so heartless."

Zhou Xun swept his gaze across him and said, "Turn my fiancee around in front of me. If it wasn't for the Tao team and the task force, Young Master Shen would never think of coming out today."

Shen Zixian could only beg, "I apologize, why not apologize?"

Only then did Zhou Xun's expression relax.

Actually, I felt that Zhou Xun wasn't really angry, and Shen Zixian's apology wasn't that sincere either. I couldn't help but think that their relationship seemed to be better than I had imagined …

I thought for a moment, and Shen Zixian suddenly came over. Perhaps he had something to discuss with Zhou Xun, so I stood up and said to him, "You guys go ahead and chat, I'll go take a look in the kitchen."

Zhou Xun nodded.

I closed the door behind them on my way out.

Since I slept from morning until now, I didn't have any lunch, so I was a little hungry. With Zhou Xun being an injured patient, I quickly went to the kitchen to ask if there was anything left for me to eat.

The kitchen was fairly well-prepared and the food was still warm.

I wanted to mend Zhou Xun's body, so I personally prepared a stew for him to drink.

Just as he finished washing the ingredients and placing them in the kitchen to stew, Zhou Ning and Shen Zixian came out. They had probably finished their discussion.

Shen Zisheng stood in the living room, I waved my hand and said, "Speak, I'll treat you to a meal another day."

I smiled and quickly carried the food into the room.

I actually saw Zhou An.

I was surprised.

Previously, due to Zhou Xun's injury, I was feeling dizzy, so I didn't have the time to ask him how he was doing. To my surprise, he suddenly appeared in Zhou Xun's bedroom.

Zhou An stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Nian, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well this time."

I shook my head and curiously asked, "Were you not at the hotel back then?"

Zhou An hesitated for a moment. He looked at Zhou Xun, but did not say anything.

Zhou Xun said, "Alright, you may leave."

Zhou An responded, gave me an apologetic look, and left.

I felt as if he had been about to say something, but then stopped, and his expression was strange, as if he were hiding something from me.

Looking into my probing gaze, Zhou Xun took the initiative to say, "He just returned with Shen Zixian."

I was a little surprised.

Zhou Xun didn't immediately explain. Instead, he waved his hand at me and asked, "What are you talking about?"

I hurriedly recovered my senses. I felt a little guilty. He was definitely hungry, but I had forgotten such an important matter due to Zhou An's actions. I quickly placed the chopsticks and bowls on the tea table, intending to feed him.

However, Zhou Xun refused. He held my hand and said, "I'll do it myself. You must be hungry too. Let's eat together."

I felt warm inside and quickly replied.

Although Zhou Xun and I didn't have any rules about not eating or talking, it wasn't until we were done eating that Zhou Xun finally brought up the topic.

He said, "We'll have to start from Gucci."

I guessed it had something to do with Gucci, so I wasn't surprised.

Zhou motioned for me to sit on the bed, and I took off my shoes and leaned against him.

He kissed me and said, "Do you think Gucci came to New York to attend the fair?"

I thought for a moment. "I don't know. I don't care about him."

Zhou Xun chuckled as he caressed my face. "It seems that the treasure only cares about me."

My cheeks were hot, but I didn't deny it.

The smile on his face deepened as he continued, "On the surface, it seems that Qi Hu came to participate in the exchange. However, he is actually here to make a deal with the arms merchants."

I heard from him that the Gu family was indeed doing some illegal business, so I'm not surprised.

Zhou Xun said, "Some Interpol officers have long set their eyes on that arms dealer. Since Gu Qi is Chinese, the Interpol officers have contacted the domestic police. This time, they've sent Tao Zhizhou over to capture Gu Qi together."

I frowned. I suddenly remembered that when Zhou Xun was trying to get close to the mercenaries, he also wanted to do business with the Gu family … The Gu family's business was not that good, if Zhou Xun was also implicated … The consequences would be unthinkable.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun didn't really want to get involved with the Gu family. After he had connected with the mercenaries through other channels, he had decisively left, even canceling his engagement with Gu Qiong.

Very wise.

I was overjoyed and held Zhou Xun's hand tightly.

Zhou Xun seemed to know what I was thinking and smiled as he held onto me, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not involved in the Gu family's business."

I was relieved.

He continued to talk about the arrest.

When Tao Zhizhou and Shen Zixian arrived, they found out that Guqi had been looking for an opportunity to get close to me, so they contacted Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun had indeed rushed over to deal with Gu Qi. He left Zhou An with me, largely for the sake of Gucci's whereabouts. Later, when I was taken away, Zhou An informed him. After that, he rushed to my rescue, tying down Guqi, while Tao Zhizhou, together with the International Star System, took over the armory of the arms dealers, and quite a few of Guqi's men were captured.

The operation went well.

I didn't say anything for a long time.

In other words, Tao Zhizhou and the others knew that Gu Qi had found me and used me as bait. At that time, Zhou An actually heard me shouting in the corridor, but for the sake of the plan, he didn't come out to save me.

And Zhou Xun pretended to go and save me, all the while stalling Guqi's time.

In the meantime, they destroyed the arms dealers and the men of Gucci.

Everything is perfect...

Available... But in my heart, I have a feeling that I can't put my finger on it …

Zhou Xun hugged me tightly and said, "My apologies, darling. I have let you suffer."

I carefully avoided his wound and shook my head with a wry smile.

No wonder Zhou An had an apologetic look on his face. It wasn't that he didn't have the ability to protect me back then, but he had an order for Gu Qi to capture me.

I did feel a bit uncomfortable, but it was a plan involving the police, and Zhou Xun was forced to do it, so I naturally didn't say anything.

When I remembered that Zhou Xun had been injured while saving me, I felt relieved.

I whispered, "Actually, you can tell me your plan …" "I have something in mind that I'm prepared to cooperate with you guys …"

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "It's my fault. Next time, I won't let you take the risk."

I rubbed his hand and suddenly thought of something. "Has Guqi been captured?"

"Nope." As he spoke of this, Zhou Xun's face darkened. "Let him escape."

I'm a little sorry that even with Interpol out there, I was kicked a few times by Gucci, and Zhou Xun was also injured, but he still managed to let Gucci get away.

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not that we can't catch him, but every time we capture him, he is not present. Furthermore, there is no evidence to prove that he participated in those trades …" So we have to let him go every time. "

Facing the joint action of the Interpol and the Chinese police, he could even dodge it, he's quite capable.

For such a dangerous exchange character, Zhou Xun had already met with him … I suddenly started to worry.

However, Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, he wouldn't dare to touch me."

I thought about it. He took the initiative to talk business with the mercenaries, and could even plot against Qin Xueman. His abilities are not any weaker than Gu Qi's …

As I thought about it, I also felt relieved and a lot more at ease.

In my heart, of course, Zhou Xun was much stronger.

I changed the topic. "So you already contacted Captain Tao and the others when you were in the country. They also know about the operation this time. No wonder senior Shen mentioned that you were injured the moment you entered the room."

Zhou Xun kissed my forehead, saying: "It's a pity that I'm hiding it from you, making you feel afraid."

I've thought it through, so I don't take it to heart.

But then I remembered the box he had given to Gucci, and I asked, "Gucci, what does he want from you?"
