Chapter 139: The Relationship Progressed Too Quickly, Was There Even a Courtship Process?! (Second Ending)

After the heavy rain, the ancient city was filled with a mix of burning and damp smells.

The members of the Revenge Squad each held a wine jar, chatting and drinking.

Having carried out so many missions together, their bond was so strong that there were no barriers between them.

No matter where in the world any of them might be, if anyone called, they would rush over without a second thought.

Suddenly, the phones of the undercover foursome rang simultaneously.

They all pulled out their phones in unison, then set down their wine jars.

Jian Li lifted his eyelids lazily, his gaze relaxed. "Time to report back?"

"I hope you succeed and maybe even earn a top commendation."

Yuan Feng waved his hands hurriedly. "No, no, that’s an honor reserved for heroes who have fallen."

Jian Li smirked. "You almost didn’t make it either."

The four of them froze at his words.

Indeed, if it weren't for Jian Li's foresight,

going to the tavern to remove the dangerous materials,

they would have been in mortal danger!

But even if given another chance,

they would likely do it again, even knowing the risk.

Luo Wudi clasped his fists and bowed to Jian Li. "I owe you my life, I will repay you tenfold in the future!"

As he straightened up, a confident smile playing on his lips, he said, "By the way, my name is not Luo Xiaohong, it's Luo Wudi."

"If you ever need anything, come find me at the sect."

Just as Luo Wudi was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Don’t forget to send me an invitation to your wedding, or I’ll come after both of you!"

Jian Li's ears turned slightly red. "It’s still a long way off."

Huo Xiao smiled. "Don’t worry about it."

The undercover team headed towards the outskirts of the ancient city.

Suddenly, a familiar figure ran in, making Yuan Feng stop in his tracks. He squinted, trying to see who it was, and the next moment he was unexpectedly hugged,

the hug was so tight that Yuan Feng could barely breathe.

A familiar scent wafted to his nose, and he tentatively asked, "Pei Ji?"

"Why are you here?!"

Pei Ji's voice was low and hoarse. "When you rushed into the burning building, did you think of me?"

"I—" Yuan Feng choked, unable to continue.

How could I not think of you?!

Especially when I nearly got hit by a beam,

I even thought about taking out my phone to call you and leave some final words.

Pei Ji, receiving no response, continued to speak to himself, "I was so afraid of losing you. My father is already gone, I can't afford to lose you too!"

He suddenly pulled back and stared deeply at Yuan Feng, "I don't want to wait anymore!"

"Your formalization seems so far off,"

Yuan Feng, “......” Are you teasing me? This time for sure,

Feeling his lips being kissed,

His mind went completely blank,

Holy shit!!!!

What’s Pei Ji doing?!

The team’s car is still waiting for me!

My colleagues and boss are sitting inside!

I’m done,

This is total social death!

Despite his inner screams, he showed no signs of struggling. After getting what he wanted, Pei Ji squinted and looked at him, "Do you like me too? That’s why you didn’t resist?"

Yuan Feng stuttered, suddenly realizing the guy in front of him was already half a head taller, "I... I just forgot to resist..."

The leader in the car covered his forehead,

This guy is really thick-skinned!

A company is always just one night away from bankruptcy.

When Lu Siqi sat in the interrogation room, he realized he had been under surveillance for a long time.

From the directors to the cleaners, almost everyone in the entire corporate building was an undercover agent.

Originally, when Lu Yuanhang was arrested, he had a chance to completely break away from the black industry chain.

But to take down Huo Xiao sooner and win over Jian Li, he made one foolish mistake after another,

These mistakes exposed his flaws, allowing the undercover agents monitoring him to gather evidence...

Facing the interrogation, Lu Siqi sighed, "I’ve lost. Ask whatever you want."

The man in uniform who had just walked in sat down, "Mr. Lu, that’s right. Confess and be lenient, resist and face strict consequences."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Siqi looked up sharply, "It’s you! Secretary Chen! Even you..."

"To arrest criminals like you, there are many undercover agents like me," Minister Chen said with a smile, "I did warn you, but you were too arrogant and stubborn."

"At this very moment, remember, defying the law or even committing crimes will absolutely lead to a bad end!"

"Even escaping abroad won't help, we still have the capability to arrest you and bring you back!"

Lu Siqi's originally proud spine suddenly slumped quite a bit.

......

The evidence had already been almost entirely collected, and Lu Siqi's live confession in the streaming room delivered the decisive blow regarding the crimes he was involved in.

Jian Li hadn't woken up yet, but he could hear his phone vibrating continuously.

He stretched out his arm to swipe open the answer button and put the receiver to his ear. "What's wrong? So early?"

Li Lin's excited voice came through. "Brother Li! The government is going to award you the Best Citizen Award for Courage!"

"That's amazing, and I heard it's a special award set up just for you!"

"I'm so proud of you!"

"The award ceremony is tomorrow morning, don't forget!"

Jian Li was still half-asleep, his voice sounding particularly hoarse. "I might not be able to make it, can you handle it for me..."

Feeling an unwelcome hand roaming over his waist, his already sensitive skin shivered again, and a muffled groan escaped involuntarily from him. "Hmm—"

Suspicion immediately arose on the other end. "Brother Li, what are you doing? Are you up to something naughty?"

"I'll tell you later." Jian Li's voice was strained as he hung up directly.

He immediately grabbed Huo Xiao's wrist, his gaze warily meeting his. "What do you think you're doing?!"

Huo Xiao's tender, lingering gaze settled on Jian Li's face, and the next second, he lost control and kissed his throat.

"Baby, you know..."

Jian Li's face instantly turned red.

"Are you out of your mind?! How many times has this happened already?!"

Huo Xiao looked aggrieved, his eyes pleading. "Do you still need to rest? It's been two hours already."

Jian Li, "..." Do you think I'm a workhorse?!

Ever since finishing filming 'Super Competition', I've been cooped up here for almost a week!

"Damn it..."

He cursed angrily.

Huo Xiao sighed. "How about you stay still."

"And I'll do the moving instead?"

Jian Li, "..." Isn't that the same thing?

"Wait, don't move!" His expression suddenly changed.

Huo Xiao's hoarse voice said, "This is it."

"I understand."

"You know nothing, ah——"

Dazedly, Jian Li heard a whisper in his ear, "Can we get the marriage certificate tomorrow?"

"I’m really scared you’ll run off,"

Jian Li’s voice was restrained, "Where could I run to, huh? Don’t move, okay, okay, we’ll get the certificate tomorrow!"

It was a bit rushed, and there was barely any dating process.

But, isn’t that how it is once you’ve made up your mind?!

Besides, the feeling of being tied down isn’t bad.

Finally, I have my own light among the countless others…

He consoled himself, and his lips curled into a smile.

"Baby, I love you."

The enchanting voice kept drilling into his ears,

It felt like brainwashing, like a pyramid scheme,

Feeling dazed, Jian Li responded, "I love you too."

"It would be even better if you did it less often,"

A low chuckle came from his ear, "Baby, I can’t."

"I’m afraid I can’t hold back..."
