"What do you mean?" Zi Beiying asked.
"We're here to talk about what happened recently. Not long after we got off the plane and left the airport, Shao Ting and Gu Ning went back to Country Y to kill Charles Cretan. If they can't find Charles Cretan, they'll assassinate Chas Cretan and frame Charles Cretan so that Chas Cretan can deal with Charles Cretan, "Xu Jingchen explained.
"Really?" Zi Beiying was delighted. She believed that with Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting around, they would definitely be able to get the job done.
Charles Cretan deserved to die for framing the Zi family.
"Yeah! As for me? Gu Ning arranged for me to accompany you! She said that you've been in a bad mood recently and asked me to cheer you up. " Xu Jingchen paid close attention to Zi Beiying's expression as he spoke. He wanted to know how she would react if she found out that he was there to accompany her.
Zi Beiying was taken aback. Uneasiness flashed across her face as her heart pounded rapidly.
However, Zi Beiying immediately frowned slightly. Her expression darkened and her tone turned unpleasant. "Oh! You're here because Gu Ning asked you to come! Sorry to have to trouble you. "
Did this mean that he had no intention of coming if Gu Ning didn't ask him to?
Xu Jingchen knew that Zi Beiying had misunderstood. He panicked and explained, "No, I wanted to kill Charles Cretan personally, but Gu Ning arranged for me to stay behind."
Zi Beiying's displeasure disappeared and was replaced by joy. She was happy that Xu Jingchen wanted to avenge her personally.
"Alright!" Zi Beiying pretended to believe him. "Since you're here to cheer me up, you'd better do it well! Otherwise, I'll tell Gu Ning that not only did you not cheer me up, but you also made me unhappy. "
"Okay," Xu Jingchen replied.
Other than going to the toilet, Xu Jingchen spent the rest of the day with Zi Beiying.
Although Zi Beiying had been in a bad mood for the past few days, she was no longer in a bad mood. When she saw Xu Jingchen, her bad mood was almost gone.
However, Zi Beiying knew why Gu Ning had asked Xu Jingchen to accompany her. Since that was the case, she didn't want to waste this opportunity. Therefore, she made the best use of the time to spend time with Xu Jingchen. If they really liked each other, she would take action.
If Xu Jinchen really didn't like her, she would let him go.
Zi Shaomin also left enough space for them. He rarely came out. Even when he was done with his business, he would avoid them as much as possible.
However, he couldn't avoid them all the time. Therefore, he would chat with Xu Jingchen during and after dinner.

After a seventeen-hour flight, it was already 2 am when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived in Wei City.
However, that was two o 'clock in the morning in Huaxia, not Italy.
The time difference between Huaxia and Country Y was seven hours. Therefore, it was around 8 pm in Country Y right now.
Most people wouldn't be able to get used to the time difference and would need to adjust to it. However, this didn't affect Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting at all. Even if they didn't sleep for a few days, it wouldn't affect their spirits.
However, since they had just arrived, they weren't familiar with Wei City and didn't know where the Cretan family was. Therefore, they couldn't take action for the time being.
Therefore, they weren't in a hurry to get to work. Instead, they went to have dinner and then searched for information about the Cretan family online.
Since they couldn't access foreign websites in Huaxia, they could only search for information after arriving in Country Y.
After leaving the airport, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting hailed a taxi to the city center. They found a restaurant and ordered steak.
Then, they started searching for information about the Cretan family online.
They couldn't find out anything about the Cretan family's address or anything else. However, the Cretan family's businesses were available. Therefore, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting managed to find some of the Cretan family's businesses.
As long as they knew which businesses belonged to the Cretan family, they could capture the senior management or person in charge of one of the businesses and interrogate them. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of them.
Of course, before they took action, they had to change their disguises.
After dinner, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting found a secluded place to change their disguises.
Gu Ning didn't disguise herself as "Tang Aining". Instead, she changed her appearance to avoid unnecessary trouble if the Cretan family found out about "Tang Aining" after killing Charles Cretan.
Leng Shaoting, on the other hand, darkened his skin a little and stuck on a green beard. He looked ten years older.
The green beard was something that Leng Shaoting had prepared a long time ago. Sometimes, he needed to disguise himself when he was out on a mission.
Besides the green beard, Leng Shaoting also had a fake identity card. The name on the card was Wei Yang and he was also Chinese. However, it was just an ordinary identity.
For the past few days, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had been using these two identities.
Seeing Leng Shaoting's new appearance, Gu Ning couldn't help but laugh. "You're really handsome. Even if your skin is darker, you have a beard, and you're older, you'll still be handsome."
The current Leng Shaoting didn't feel embarrassed when he was praised by Gu Ning. Instead, he was in a good mood!
"In that case, you won't despise me when we're old!" Leng Shaoting said.
"When you're old, who knows how many years it will be? Don't forget that you're a cultivator and your lifespan is many times longer than that of an ordinary person! The higher your cultivation level is, the longer your lifespan will be. If you're like Grandpa Shangguan, you may live for thousands of years. If you become an immortal, you'll live for thousands of years. So, you … "Gu Ning noticed that Leng Shaoting's face was getting darker and darker. Gu Ning suddenly stopped. She knew that she had touched Leng Shaoting's sore spot. She felt a little guilty.
She knew that one of them was a cultivator, while the other was a mortal. It had always been a sore spot in Leng Shaoting's heart. However, she still brought it up and rubbed salt on his wound.
Originally, she planned to tell Leng Shaoting after she merged the Blood of the Phoenix into her body and let the energy of the Blood of the Phoenix connect her soul and body. When she could really cultivate, she would give Leng Shaoting a wake-up call.
However, she now realized that she shouldn't have done that.
Because Leng Shaoting would feel uncomfortable and worried as long as he didn't know.
"Shao Shaoting, actually, I …"
