"No need."

Xiao Can's face changed again and again: "I am an atheist, I don't believe in these side-door left-door things."

"That's truly a pity." Xu Tian sighed.

He remembered that Lighthouse Country rich woman, who left a very deep psychological shadow on Xiao Can.

Think about it, a woman old enough to be your grandmother suddenly says she wants to marry you; anyone would have a shadow.

Immediately after, he looked at the others present.

"How about you guys?"

"What?" A group of bodyguards were confused.

"Do you want to stretch your hands over for me to take a look?"

Xu Tian put on an old-god-is-there appearance, suddenly as if thinking of something, and added: "This is a foreign country, perhaps I should follow the customs of the country and read your star charts?"

Chen Xiaoxia and the bodyguards looked at Xu Tian like looking at a fool.

This time, Chen Xiaoxia was even too lazy to refute.

Arguing with a person like Xu Tian is simply a waste of her time.

Seeing no one respond, Xu Tian stood up and sent the tray to the restaurant's recycling area, and asked the waiter to pack a sandwich machine and a bottle of hot milk.

After Xu Tian left the restaurant, Xiao Can couldn't help but complain to Chen Xiaoxia: "Sister Xiaoxia, is this the man Tang Zong took a fancy to? Why does he feel not quite normal?"

"We also think he is strange."

The other bodyguard also complained: "This kind of man, at first glance, is a glib-tongued pretty boy; compared to Mr. Gu, he is far behind."

"But he actually really predicted that Sister Xiaoxia would be in danger..."

Another young bodyguard pointed to the gauze on Chen Xiaoxia's face.

"It's just a coincidence." Chen Xiaoxia didn't believe Xu Tian really had the ability to know the future.

"I also think he is talking nonsense."

Xiao Can was Chen Xiaoxia's most firm supporter: "He just said I would meet a noble person, didn't I meet a noble person long ago? That is Sister Xiaoxia and Tang Zong, does he need to remind me!"

After breakfast, they had to continue on their way according to the itinerary.

Setting off from the Lighthouse Country capital airport, it had been a day now, and currently everything was normal with no abnormal situation occurring.

Among those who came to the Lighthouse Country for a business trip with Tang Bingyan this time, besides some senior management of the company, it was the bodyguard team led by Chen Xiaoxia.

Among them, a team of people was hidden in the dark, silently observing every move around Tang Bingyan.

And Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Can and others were performing their bodyguard duties in a legitimate way.

Actually, every time Tang Bingyan went out, she would arrange a large number of bodyguards to follow, and nothing had ever happened before, so Chen Xiaoxia and others just treated this protection mission as an ordinary mission.

After all, although the Lighthouse Country is not very safe, Tang Bingyan is not involved with the forces here, so no one will attack her.

Of course, according to Tang Bingyan's current status and position, people in Huaxia also wouldn't dare to easily oppose her.

Along the way, Chen Xiaoxia and others were relaxed, and could even chat about interesting things along the way.

But Xu Tian, who was sitting in the same car as Tang Bingyan, had been tense.

Normally, the bodyguards Tang Bingyan brought were enough to deal with sudden crises, but the ones who wanted to be unfavorable to them this time were not ordinary robbers.

In the evening, their group arrived at the originally planned small town.

Because this small town had hot springs, it focused on the tourism industry in winter, and many tourists would come to soak in hot springs, so the conditions of the hotel here were more luxurious than the one they stayed in yesterday.

Of course, it was only compared to the town yesterday, and couldn't be compared with five-star hotels in big cities.

Tang Bingyan's workaholic attribute had been fully lit recently; when in the car, she looked at documents, and after getting off the car, she was either meeting with accompanying senior management to discuss plans or having video conferences with domestic employees in her room.

Xu Tian, as the only idle person in the itinerary, was actually not relaxed at all.

He carefully checked the rooms of himself and Tang Bingyan, and after determining there were no hidden dangers, he came to the corridor again.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"

A Wei, who was taking files back to the room for Tang Bingyan, saw Xu Tian wandering in the corridor stealthily, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Checking if there are any suspicious people in the corridor."

Xu Tian was startled by A Wei; he had been too focused just now and hadn't heard the other party's footsteps.

A Wei was speechless: "Mr. Xu, you are the most suspicious person in the corridor right now..."

"I feel this hotel is not safe."

I don't know why, but Xu Tian had a bad premonition in his heart after arriving at this hotel.

Normally, the facilities and security of this hotel were better than the previous one, but it was precisely after moving into this hotel that he had such a feeling.

"Mr. Xu, you should be too nervous."

A Wei suggested: "Do you want me to call the restaurant and have them prepare a cup of hot milk for you?"

Xu Tian: "... No need."

His trouble simply couldn't be solved by a cup of hot milk.

"Then I'll go first."

A Wei swiped his card to enter the room, and after taking the files out, he found Xu Tian still standing in the corridor staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, and couldn't help but say: "Eldest Miss is still waiting for me."

"A Wei, wait a moment!" Xu Tian chased after him and hooked A Wei's shoulder, dragging him into the room while the door hadn't closed yet.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" A Wei asked vigilantly.

Now, he also had a bad premonition in his heart.

Tang Bingyan was still angry because of the flaws in the project plan, and he really hoped Xu Tian wouldn't cause any more trouble at such a time.

"A Wei, you should understand Bingyan's entire itinerary for coming to the Lighthouse Country this time, right?"

Xu Tian sighed and looked at A Wei gloomily: "You are the person she trusts most by her side, can you persuade her to change the plan?"

"Change the plan?" A Wei felt a headache rubbing his forehead: "How to change?"

"Like, originally we were going to negotiate with AM Company the day after tomorrow, can we change the time to next week?"

"And then we set off before dawn tomorrow, and go directly to H City in the opposite direction to stay for a few days..."

"Uh... I'm afraid this won't work..." A Wei felt quite a headache rubbing his forehead.

H City is the second largest city in the Lighthouse Country; could it be that Xu Tian felt the journey was boring, so he wanted to go over and play?

"You also understand the eldest miss's temper; no one can change the decisions she makes; if it's about life, she can listen to your opinions, but for company matters, even you are helpless, so how can I persuade her?"

A Wei added, seemingly worried that Xu Tian would pester him endlessly.

"Mr. Xu, you must still be affected by that nightmare, so you are especially nervous. Don't old people often say dreams are the opposite? So you dreamed we would have an accident, then in reality, it's nothing."

"It's not just a nightmare problem." Seeing that A Wei didn't take his words to heart at all, Xu Tian was anxious to explain to him: "Ever since checking into this hotel, I have had a feeling of ominous premonition..."

"Ominous premonition? You really treat yourself as a god-stick?"

Before Xu Tian finished speaking, a mean voice came from behind.

Only to see Chen Xiaoxia, wearing a black tight uniform, walk over with an indifferent face.

"Put away your set of pretending to be a ghost, A Wei is very busy, no time to chat with you."

Xu Tian had no heart to argue with Chen Xiaoxia, and his tone also deepened a bit.

"This concerns Bingyan's safety, you actually say it's chatting? Do you still remember your duty as Bingyan's personal bodyguard?"

"What qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Chen Xiaoxia's face sank upon hearing this: "Xu Tian, don't think that relying on the eldest miss's pampering, you can be lawless!"

"Indeed, I can't do anything to you now, but now you are spreading rumors in front of my bodyguards all day, this will cause a great negative impression on them; palm reading, noble person, nightmare, are all nonsense; I hope you won't go and provoke them in the following itinerary, otherwise if something really happens, you are the culprit!"

After Chen Xiaoxia finished speaking, she didn't give Xu Tian a chance to react and turned and left.

"Mr. Xu, Xiaoxia speaks badly, don't mind it, I'll go first too." After A Wei perfunctorily said two sentences, he also walked quickly toward the small conference room.

In the blink of an eye, only Xu Tian was left in the corridor.

He had long expected that these people wouldn't believe what he said, so he wasn't discouraged, but the feeling of ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Early morning, shift change time.

After the bodyguards of the third team finished patrolling and completed the handover, they came to the bar on the basement floor of the hotel together.

This bar is open twenty-four hours, and also provides snacks like fish and chips, which is just right for the bodyguards who have just finished work to fill their stomachs.

Xiao Can sat among several bodyguards, drinking beer while eating fries.

"The pretty boy raised by Tang Zong is trying to blow pillow wind again to let Tang Zong change the route and itinerary, it's just a pity Tang Zong is busy with meetings and has no time to pay attention to him."

"Change itinerary? He really treats our trip this time as tourism."

"Isn't it, our route this time is all remote small towns, nothing fun, I think Xu Tian is just bored, wants to go out and play by himself, and insists on finding a high-sounding excuse, saying something about nightmares, ominous premonitions."

Xiao Can, who was still eating, listened to his companion's complaints and echoed vaguely.

"That brat insists on saying I will meet a noble person; in this remote place, where is the noble person?"

"And I've been with Tang Zong for so long, and I'm satisfied with my current job; could I still jump ship?"

"Can brother is right, I think this brat is just alarmist!"

Just as these bodyguards were complaining about Xu Tian, they suddenly smelled a pungent rose perfume.

Only to see an old woman wearing a Chanel high-end suit, wearing a pure white small hat, and dressed elegantly, walking over slowly.

She stopped after seeing Xiao Can, and a girlish look actually appeared on that face that had weathered the frost of time.

"Young man, are you Huaxia?"

"Yeah." Xiao Can saw this old woman's attitude was friendly and her gaze was kind, so he thought of his grandmother, and spoke softly to her in the local language: "It's so late, it's too unsafe for you to be alone in the bar; do you need me to help you contact your family?"

"Oh, what a kind young man."

The old woman laughed exaggeratedly, her gaze lingering on Xiao Can repeatedly: "I came to this small town to soak in hot springs by myself, and the hotel I booked is just on the next street; originally I wanted to come out for a midnight snack, but you also saw that they only sell fried food here, which doesn't meet my appetite."

"I know there is a Huaxia restaurant open all night next door, where there will be light food."

Xiao Can and the others had already figured out the restaurants and shops nearby before checking into the hotel.

"Really? Where is it?" The old woman asked excitedly.

"You go out from this hotel, the street on the right hand side of the entrance goes to the end, then turn left..."

"Oh, young man, slow down, you're almost making me dizzy..."

The old woman looked at Xiao Can with a confused face and suggested: "If you have time, can you send me over?"

"Okay!" Xiao Can didn't think much; no matter where he went, he should engrave the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young of the Huaxia nation into his bones.
