Strength is everything. If one's own strength is insufficient, they might end up dead during the first assassination attempt. There would be no second chance at all.

Thanks to spending a week at Yanhuang Soul, that evasion training can indeed be applied to real combat.

But it's not enough. Dodging a few bullets is fine, but what if next time it's a bomb? Even if it's not a bomb, what if it's one of those deeply hidden experts?

To combat increasingly powerful assassins, Xiaofan must enhance his own strength.

Sleep is surely impossible right now. Don't know when an assassin might appear; how can one rest in peace? Hence, Xiaofan quietly meditated on the bed, circulating the Inner Strength within his body according to the Heart Method of the Celestial Burning Technique, gradually solidifying and strengthening it.

Just like that, the night passed. Xiaofan was somewhat surprised; he didn't feel a bit tired after meditating an entire night; instead, he felt full of energy and increasingly refreshed.

Closing one's eyes can nourish the spirit, along with the accumulation of Inner Strength, which truly can make a person feel rejuvenated. This allows Xiaofan not to worry about sleep deprivation for a short period.

The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was boot up the server and quickly check his name on the Assassination Order amount.

"Twenty million..."

Indeed, the news from Red Butterfly is swift. The assassins acted last night, and the assassination list amount was increased today.

It's only a matter of time. Xiaofan doesn't care about the amount but is concerned about which assassin will cause him trouble next and how they'll attempt to assassinate him.

'Knock knock.'

"Who is it?"

Reflexively shouted like an alarm, Xiaofan felt himself becoming somewhat neurotic, jumping at any sound.

"It's me. Rushed over; forgot to bring your house key." Chen Mei'Er responded at the door.

Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and went to open the door.

"Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me?"

Chen Mei'Er couldn't care less, gently stepping into the house despite Xiaofan's attempt to block her. Casually placing the breakfast she bought on the table.

"Oatmeal, pickles, soy milk, fried dough sticks. Aren't I considerate?"

"Eat eat eat, eating again? Hurry up and go back." Xiaofan said uninterestedly.

"Why the fuss? Once I finish eating, I'll leave."

"Chen Mei'Er, I don't want to repeat what I said yesterday. You better understand your current position, it's useless..."

"Are you going to eat the salty first or the sweet?" Chen Mei'Er cleverly sidestepped a topic she wasn't concerned about, as Ren Ling had taught her.

"Chen Mei'Er..."

"Just this once. Have breakfast with me, and then I'll go to school. Next time, I won't disturb you."

Her eyes filled with soft, watery affection, almost like pleading.

To think that she, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, who had bullied others since childhood and spoken down to people, would show such vulnerability for a man today.

Vulnerability? Maybe that's the wrong word. When the heart holds expectations, towards someone truly cared for, liking someone can lead to great changes, willing to change for him.

"Eat, then." Even though Xiaofan had decided firmly, Chen Mei'Er knew the truth, and no matter how he pretended, she'd see through.

"I've already talked to my dad; he won't send anyone to bother you anymore."

"Oh."

"If you'd agreed with my dad earlier, nothing would have happened, seriously." Gently sipping soy milk, Chen Mei'Er teased softly, her mischievous eyes gazing out the window, deep in thought.

Xiaofan also paused, wondering if surrendering in front of Chen Baicheng would have prevented him from being listed on the Assassination Order, or perhaps meeting Shen Zuimo was a mistake from the beginning?

If it really was a mistake, then I Ye Xiaofan am willing to make the same mistake again.

Life is too short to stand tall and proud. Owing Ren Ling, I shouldn't owe even more women.

"Then I'm leaving."

"Mm."

"Hey, maybe I won't come to see you again later. You have nothing to say or do? If you miss this chance, there might not be a next time."

Chen Mei'Er's hint might as well be plain as day. As she spoke, she deliberately pushed her proud chest forward in Xiaofan's face.

Xiaofan gave Chen Mei'Er a peculiar look, pursed his lips, and asked, "Are you very thirsty?"

"I... yours. Do I really have no charm at all when I'm in front of you?" Chen Mei'Er replied defiantly.

"Yes, many times I've been really turned on."

"So what are you afraid of? I've already told my dad not to bother you, and at the club, you broke the record. I said that night was up to you to decide. Although you did nothing, you still owe me. Do you want me to keep thinking about it forever? You're so scheming." Chen Mei'Er spoke as she gradually approached.

If he told the truth a thousand times, Chen Mei'Er's figure was so attractive it would instantly make a man think of things in bed. But his rationality was too strong; even under Dragon Scale Fragrance, he could control himself, let alone being sober.

However, self-control once or twice can work, but as it happens more, immunity can decline.

Looking at that sexy and enticing collarbone, the proud chest gently rising and falling with her breath. Her delicate face pink and pure. The slender legs swaying before him without any concealment each time.

"I'm really leaving; if there's anything you want me to do, say it quickly."

"Well, well, could you help take out the trash when you go downstairs?"

"..."

After saying this, Xiaofan quickly ran into the study and booted up the server, trying to calm himself down.

"You idiot." Chen Mei'Er pouted, looking at the closed door with extreme grievance, reluctantly picked up the trash bag by the door, and quickly walked downstairs.

In the room, hearing the door close, Xiaofan slapped himself hard.

Such a good opportunity, yet he didn't seize it, pretending to act all aloof. Idiot, just a fool.

"Idiot, big idiot."

Downstairs, Chen Mei'Er casually tossed the trash into the bin, unlocked her car with the key, and walked over to it.

But just at the moment she opened the car door, a van parked beside her suddenly had four men rush out, covering Chen Mei'Er's mouth and forcibly dragging her into the van, speeding away.

The whole process happened incredibly quickly, so fast no one at the scene witnessed it. It's confirmed as a deliberate abduction. But who would dare kidnap Chen Baicheng's daughter? Could this be related to Xiaofan's Assassination Order? For further developments, stay tuned for the next chapter... Hey!
