Chapter 394 -391

He had actually wanted to ask this question last night—he came to the film set specifically to invest because of her.

Now that he had met with a cold reception, would he simply let it go?

Perhaps, while he was looking up information, the other party was also investigating his.

Wen Xian lay there in a daze, “…Huh? Who are you talking about, that CEO or something? Don’t mention it… The guy doesn’t look like much, but his name sounds a bit nice.”

As she spoke, she lazily turned over.

The next second, she added, “His name is Li Tingze.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao’s body suddenly tensed.

“What did you say?”

He turned around abruptly, his pupils dilating slightly as if the name, having come from her lips, had completely stunned him.

Wen Xian thought he hadn’t heard clearly, so she repeated it word for word:

“Li Tingze, the CEO of a new energy conglomerate.”

If he was merely afraid that he had misheard the name, then the sentence that followed completely froze Lu Xiao.

His breath caught.

He just stood there, the room still dim in the morning light, with no lamps on.

Half his figure seemed to sink into those faint shadows, unable to move any longer.

A numbness began to spread from his fingertips.

Wen Xian noticed his tall and straight figure standing still, so she turned her body, rubbing her eyes as she asked in a muffled voice:

“What’s the matter, weren’t you going to go out for something…?”

At her words, Lu Xiao’s hand immediately went to the doorknob, grasping it.

His breathing became somewhat irregular.

The hand on the doorknob also trembled faintly.

What was it he felt that moment?

He had always been after the guy behind countless crimes—someone who killed rare wild animals, robbed cultural relics illegally, and might even be responsible for more lives than he knew—

And such a man, fraught with danger, had actually gone directly to Wen Xian…!?

Lu Xiao never imagined that a man with such wicked deeds would dare to appear so openly by Wen Xian’s side!

He had even invested for her sake, boldly stating that he wanted to pursue her—an unmarried woman.

Now in his mind, uncontrollably, the scenes from last night’s gathering surfaced.

That well-dressed, handsome man—that was the Li Tingze he was looking for.

What exactly was the situation now?

Did he know that he, Lu Xiao, was the Captain of the western jurisdiction, and having found out about their romantic relationship, came deliberately close to Wen Xian?

Or was it that he didn’t know who Lu Xiao was, and the man was simply making a move on Wen Xian?

If it was the former, that would be the scenario he least wanted to see.

But nonetheless, such actions from that man had completely enraged him.

He might come at him for whatever reason, but if he dared to do anything to his woman, then he would make him—die!

Lu Xiao’s grip on the doorknob tightened, a bone-chilling cold running through his body.

Wen Xian faintly sensed something unusual about Lu Xiao and slowly became more alert. She called out to him softly, “Lu Xiao…”

In an instant, the suffocating and ominous atmosphere was shattered by her warm and gentle voice.

Lu Xiao looked over.

A ray of sunrise outside the window fell in, exposing her fair and rounded shoulders slightly.

Her slightly curled hair shimmered with gold in that ray of light, stirring the soft glow of early day.
