After work, Xia Wenxue took Ren Feng back.
Although that BMW had already been towed for repairs, they were sitting in another car. Xia Wenxue had several cars herself.
Ren Feng sat in the passenger seat, a faint fragrance wafting over, like the scent of roses, yet with a fresh aroma that was invigorating.
Hmm, smells nice!
Ren Feng couldn't help but twitch his nose.
"What are you doing?" Xia Wenxue looked at Ren Feng's action, and suddenly, her face had a blush, but soon after, her pretty face was covered with a layer of frost.
Because this aroma wasn't any perfume, but her body scent!
But, with a man, did she really dare to say that out loud?
"Your scent is really nice." Ren Feng blinked and chuckled.
Xia Wenxue snorted coldly and continued driving.
"Wenxue, you must be quite valuable, right?" Ren Feng asked cheekily.
"Considerably." Xia Wenxue replied icily.
"Is your company's business in perfumes?" Ren Feng continued asking playfully.
"Somewhat." Xia Wenxue remained very cold.
"The scent on you, it's your body scent, right?"
"Somewhat..."
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Xia Wenxue's face, and she abruptly stepped on the gas, almost crashing into the car in front.
She slammed on the brakes, cold as ice, and looked at Ren Feng.
Ren Feng had an innocent look: "Uh, Wenxue, I don't think I said anything wrong, did I?"
"Ah! Get out of the car!" Xia Wenxue was about to go crazy!
...
Of course, in the end, Xia Wenxue didn't make Ren Feng get out of the car, because the driver behind was honking the horn.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the villa.
As soon as they entered the villa, a fiftyish-looking butler in a tailcoat came up, "Miss, you're back."
He was Mr. Yun, the butler serving Xia Wenxue, who had watched her grow up since childhood.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Yun froze because a smiling head suddenly appeared behind Xia Wenxue.
"Miss, who is this?"
"Mr. Yun, don't bother with him." Xia Wenxue frowned and said.
"Hey, Mr. Yun, it's okay, we're family, right, Xue'xue." Ren Feng walked up smilingly.
Mr. Yun looked at Ren Feng, then glanced at the cold-looking Xia Wenxue, and couldn't help but be stunned. What's going on here?
The Xia Wenxue who was originally icy cold almost fell to the ground on hearing this nickname.
"What did you call me?" Xia Wenxue was about to go crazy.
"Xue'xue." Ren Feng blinked, "Or, I can just call you Wenwen."
"I..." Xia Wenxue was frantic, what kind of nicknames were these?
"Hmph." Xia Wenxue felt stifled and went upstairs directly.
Ren Feng chuckled, it seemed like teasing this ice queen CEO was quite interesting.
Mr. Yun was a bit confused, and Ren Feng said, "Just call me Ren Feng, Mr. Yun, we're family."
Mr. Yun didn't know the reason, but still nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Yun, what are we having for dinner tonight? I'm hungry." Ren Feng pointed at his belly with a frown.
"Then I'll go buy some groceries, and we'll have an extra meal tonight." Mr. Yun smiled slightly, "Actually, there's no one else in this villa, besides you, it's just me and Miss."
Mr. Yun walked away cheerfully, and Ren Feng sat down heavily on the sofa, humming a little tune, crossed his legs, and turned on the TV.
But just then, Ren Feng's face changed suddenly.
"Damn it, is it happening again?"
As this thought crossed his mind, Ren Feng felt as if he had been thrown into a burning furnace, his whole body felt like it was burning fiercely from within.
At this moment, the True Qi in those meridians was boiling like hot water, even rising with white smoke.
"D-Damn it!" Ren Feng panted heavily, his right hand trembling as he took a pill from his pocket and quickly swallowed it.
Following that, Ren Feng sat down cross-legged.
Ren Feng closed his eyes tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging, his entire skin red like a boiled shrimp, his clothes soaked with sweat as if he had been fished out from a pond!
After about three to five minutes, Ren Feng felt his condition improve somewhat, the boiling in his body gradually calming down.
Ren Feng exhaled, opened his eyes, and there was a hint of exhaustion.
"This illness is getting worse and worse. Looks like it's time to take a break and find that old man." Ren Feng thought with a sigh. Besides taking on the task of protecting Xia Wenxue, treating his own injuries was also one of his goals on this return to the country.
But this illness had been with him since childhood and still hadn't been cured.
Ren Feng sighed, and just then, a cool voice rang out: "Why are you sitting on the floor?"
Xia Wenxue, who had just come downstairs, looked at Ren Feng who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, and couldn't help but frown.
"Xue, are you worried about me?" Ren Feng smiled cheekily.
Xia Wenxue's breath hitched, she almost felt that every time Ren Feng teased her, she would get incredibly mad—she couldn't stop it and genuinely wanted to give Ren Feng a beating!
"Don't ever call me that again!" Xia Wenxue glared with her beautiful eyes, speaking coldly.
"Then what should I call you?" Ren Feng chuckled, "Little Wenxue, little darling..."
"Stop!" Xia Wenxue's chest heaved as she took a deep breath, "I'm telling you, if you ever call me that again, I'll throw you out right now!"
After saying that, Xia Wenxue walked towards the kitchen, but suddenly, she felt a bit dizzy, as if her vision was blurring.
"What's wrong with you?" Ren Feng noticed Xia Wenxue's discomfort from behind.
"It's nothing." Xia Wenxue shook her head, trying to clear her mind, then continued walking forward, but at that moment, her legs went weak, and she seemed to fall forward.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, a sturdy arm wrapped around Xia Wenxue, pulling her into an embrace.
"Let go of me." Even though Xia Wenxue was weak, she still resisted.
"Hehe, little Xue'xue, are you feeling unwell?" Ren Feng laughed, but his right hand reached for Xia Wenxue's pulse.
"You pervert, you rogue, let go of me." Xia Wenxue's cold, delicate face flushed, wanting to struggle, but this time, she felt her weakness growing more severe, as if her energy was being drained.
In the end, Xia Wenxue fell unconscious in Ren Feng's arms.
Ren Feng frowned, looking at Xia Wenxue's pale face, his right hand checking her pulse.
Poison?
Ren Feng's heart tightened, how could Xia Wenxue be poisoned?
Without hesitation, Ren Feng carried Xia Wenxue into the room, then removed her clothes, leaving only her underwear, revealing her graceful figure to Ren Feng.
However, Ren Feng didn't have time to look, instead taking out a cloth strip from his chest, holding the silver needles wrapped inside, quickly inserting them into several points on Xia Wenxue's chest.
Ren Feng knew medicine, taught by the old man when he was young, and it had proven useful many times during his adventures. Ren Feng's medical skills had already reached the Transformation Realm.
The silver needles were still shaking, but Ren Feng immediately lifted Xia Wenxue, placing his palms on her back.
There was poison in Xia Wenxue's body. Although it wasn't a deadly toxin, its harm was significant. If the poison accumulated, it would unknowingly cause physical weakness and lead to unconsciousness, potentially leading to death during sleep.
This hypnotic-type poison was rare compared to deadly toxins, but Ren Feng had seen it before.
At this moment, Ren Feng's True Qi was pouring into Xia Wenxue's body, like sunlight, expelling the poison within her.
After a long time, Xia Wenxue suddenly vomited a mouthful of green blood, finally expelling all the poison.
Ren Feng finished, looking at Xia Wenxue on the bed, still puzzled. The poison wasn't much, not like someone poisoned her; it seemed more like Xia Wenxue had too much contact with it, accumulating over time.
But these thoughts had to wait until Xia Wenxue woke up.
Putting away the silver needles, Ren Feng's face still showed contemplation. This task might be related to this poison.
Ren Feng walked out of the room, intending to go back to rest, but suddenly stopped, squinting slightly, looking out the window.
The leaves rustled quietly, like silkworm leaves.
At this moment, figures flashed in the woods outside.
"I thought this task would be boring, but it seems interesting after all." Ren Feng's lips curled slightly, but his gaze towards the window was sharp!
...
In the woods.
The bright moonlight couldn't fully illuminate the woods outside the villa, darkness still lingered inside.
Beneath the thick foliage, a person lay crouched, gripping a cold firearm tightly, its dark muzzle aimed at the distant villa where Ren Feng was!
Besides this person, there were several experts in black clothes lurking in the darkness.
From a distance, the woods seemed unchanged.
"Target disappeared!"
The sniper's eyes suddenly narrowed, through the scope, his pupils contracted abruptly.
"Are you looking for me?"
At this moment, a faint voice sounded nearby!
As soon as the voice was heard, the sniper felt his hair stand on end, his skin about to explode, and without hesitation, he tried to roll over, but as soon as he moved, his neck was already seized.
"Black Mamba Mercenary Corps, your courage is commendable."
Ren Feng spoke calmly, and at the same time, a snapping sound in his hand signaled the sniper's neck had been twisted!
Dropping lightly from the branches, suddenly, the other members of the Mercenary Corps hidden in the darkness charged towards Ren Feng!
Those mercenaries flipped their hands, revealing knives gleaming with cold light, eyes fixed on Ren Feng standing in the center.
"Ants running into the fire."
Ren Feng shook his head, his figure moving among the mercenaries, like an elusive ghost, the mercenaries couldn't capture his form!
"Ah!"
A scream echoed as a mercenary was struck by Ren Feng and flew away, then Ren Feng's right hand hit another mercenary with a knife, who didn't even react before being struck in the chest, killed instantly!
This group of mercenaries was no match for Ren Feng; in an instant, only two remained lying on the ground, left alive by Ren Feng to extract information.
"Speak, who is your employer?"
Ren Feng kicked a mercenary upright, feeling puzzled about why someone would send assassins after Xia Wenxue, just an ordinary CEO.
This, Ren Feng still didn't know, just as he didn't know why the mysterious employer offered fifty million to protect Xia Wenxue.
"Goo, goo..."
The mercenary looked at Ren Feng, suddenly bleeding black from his mouth.
Ren Feng glanced at the other one, similarly, this person chose to break the poison capsule in their mouth.
Ren Feng frowned, all the mercenaries from the corps already dead. He wanted to check their belongings for clues, but at that moment, a burst of wild laughter echoed.
