After Qin Mengyue left, Xu Fan returned to his single-occupancy dormitory.
He spread a sheet of paper on the table and, holding a pen, began to sketch the topography surrounding the Xia Family's villa.
These were all the details he had just observed and memorized. Now, as he mapped out the terrain, he took out his cell phone to mark the best sniping spots he had previously noted.
After completing this series of tasks, Xu Fan took out his phone and photographed the map.
"From now on, the spots marked on this map will be under surveillance 24 hours a day. There must be no mistakes."
He immediately sent the photo to Xia Yanyu.
He was only responsible for handling tasks and issuing orders, not for overseeing them.
It was almost dinner time by now, and as a servant of the Xia family, Xu Fan did not have the privilege to dine with the Xia family at the same table.
Speaking of which, he did want to see Xia Xiaodie and see if the girl was feeling depressed.
However, to thoroughly investigate the recent assassination attempt, Xu Fan had to put his curiosity aside for the moment.
He believed that in a few days, he would meet Xia Xiaodie, and by then, he only hoped that the naive girl wouldn't reveal her own identity.
After having dinner in the kitchen with the chef, Xu Fan returned to his dormitory.
The Xia family had strict orders that servants should not move around at night; that was the rule, especially under the current circumstances.
Not wanting to cause too much trouble, Xu Fan sat on his bed, preparing to meditate.
Ding ding ding!
At that moment, his phone, which was placed to one side, began to ring.
Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the cell phone.
"This woman..."
The text was from his secondary number, and the sender was none other than Qin Mengyue, known online as "Busty Beauty."
It was hard to imagine that this woman, who had been so fierce with him during the day, could adopt a demure persona in the evening with her online character.
"Hey hey, what are you up to..."
Looking at the message from Qin Mengyue, Xu Fan smiled as he tapped the screen to reply, "Thinking of you."
"Stop it..."
Qin Mengyue sent a shy emoticon and spontaneously said, "Let me tell you some good news!"
"Hmm?"
Xu Fan raised an eyebrow. He guessed that Qin Mengyue was likely about to inform him about the operation.
"Yeah, tell me so I can share your joy."
Immediately, Xu Fan replied to her.
"Here's the thing, do you remember I told you I was chasing a criminal?"
"We've finally found out why he came to Huaxia, he's here to commit murder!"
"But don't worry, I'm now stationed at his target's house, I absolutely won't let him succeed again!"
Although it was just text, Xu Fan could see Qin Mengyue's determination.
Her former partners in combat had been killed by the Bingdilian, and now, she probably dreamt of catching those guys.
"Well, congratulations."
"But from what you've described, this criminal seems very dangerous. Are you alone?"
Remembering Zhao Yunfeng, whom he had seen with Qin Mengyue during the day, Xu Fan somewhat indirectly asked.
"Ah, it can't be helped, the police operations must not be too conspicuous, otherwise, it would alert the criminal."
"Of course, it's not just me, otherwise, my dad would never have agreed to let me participate in this mission..."
"Because the criminals caused such a large number of casualties this time, it has attracted attention from above. This time, from Capital City, they transferred someone supposedly a master from the Four Symbols Group. Thanks to his blessing, I was able to take part in this mission..."
"Zhao Yunfeng? Four Symbols Group?"
Hearing Qin Mengyue's explanation, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.
He had heard of the Four Symbols Group, one of Huaxia's most famous special forces teams.
Members of the Four Symbols Group are selected from the best of the best soldiers across the national military regions, truly the king of kings! It would be fair to say, there are no weaklings among them!
The soldiers that come out of the Four Symbols Group enjoy the highest treatment in Huaxia, no wonder Yi Qiu held Zhao Yunfeng in such awe.
Remembering what the old man had previously told him, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile.
With Four Symbols Group involved, it seemed best to keep his identity hidden, lest it brought him unnecessary trouble.
"This..."
Glancing at his phone screen and seeing the message Qin Mengyue had sent, Xu Fan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"But you mustn't misunderstand, okay? Although that guy is pretty incredible and quite handsome, I'm not interested in him at all."
Before he could even ask, Qin Mengyue had already eagerly explained herself, seemingly quite nervous.
Xu Fan shook his head amusedly and then typed, "Hmm? Are you this nervous because you're afraid I'll get jealous?"
"Hehe..."
Qin Mengyue sent a playful emoticon and replied, "I just didn't want you to guess wildly."
"By the way, you helped me seize evidence from the Flying Eagle Gang before, and I haven't really thanked you yet. How about we meet sometime?"
For the owner of this QQ number, it wasn't the first time Qin Mengyue had wanted to meet in person.
She was very curious about what he looked like, what his job was, and whether he might be serving somewhere as formidable as the Four Symbols Group.
She was so curious, she even dreamed of knowing!
"..."
Xu Fan was speechless, thinking that this girl probably couldn't imagine that her dream prince was actually living under the same roof as her every day.
"Hehe, if fate allows, we'll meet."
"Even though you're with someone from the Four Symbols Group, you should still be careful, understand?"
People from the Four Symbols Group might be formidable, but Bingdilian, ranked among the top hundred assassins, is no pushover either.
Worried about Qin Mengyue, Xu Fan immediately gave her a warning.
"Mm, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. Oh, but I met someone today who was so annoying..."
Qin Mengyue briefly agreed before immediately starting to complain.
Listening from his phone, Xu Fan almost wanted to laugh.
This girl, it seems like she's complaining about me...
"Hmm? Who is it?"
"Ah, one of my male roommates. You have to not misunderstand, though—there's absolutely nothing between us! Just roommates!"
"This stinking kid actually came to my place of work to get a job, can you believe it? This guy must be out of his mind!"
"I told him to leave quickly, but he just wouldn't listen, really a death-seeking fool! Hmph, does he think he's as capable as you? What a fool!"
"..."
Watching message after message of Qin Mengyue's complaints roll in, Xu Fan awkwardly grinned.
Well, I am actually the fool you're talking about...
Rolling his eyes, Xu Fan typed back.
"Hmm, you seem quite concerned about him, I'm getting jealous."
