I may have gotten myself into trouble

Bai Jin was carried back to the living room in Lu Chengze's arms. Only after Lu Chengze placed him on the sofa did he belatedly realize that they had nearly lost control at the door just now.

Flushing furiously, he pushed Lu Chengze with all his strength. "Fifth Master, you should go."

His entire face was red, and he did not even know where to look.

Lu Chengze laughed, vigorously ruffling Bai Jin's head until all his hair was a mess. Only then did he helplessly lift Bai Jin's face. "Kid, you're already like this. Do you think I'm any better off?"

Bai Jin blinked. "Then wouldn't it be even more awkward if you stayed?"

Lu Chengze looked down at Bai Jin for several seconds, then smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth. "Kid, we've not only seen each other naked, we've even taken a bath together. What's there to be awkward about?"

Bai Jin choked. "..."

He broke free from the hand gripping his chin and secretly ground his teeth.

He could not be too tactful when talking to this bastard of a man.

Just as he was about to think of another way to drive him off, the phone in Lu Chengze's pocket rang first.

"What is it?" The moment Lu Chengze saw that the call was from the Xu City Police Bureau landline, his tone turned extremely displeased.

He knew that any hope of staying tonight had gone down the drain.

Sure enough, the person on the other end anxiously said, "Fifth Master, something happened. An urgent message came from the border. A group of assassins has secretly crossed over, intending to find the person who killed the drug lord..."

The second Lu Chengze heard that, he exploded. "What the hell are the people at the border doing? Letting one drug lord through was bad enough, and now they let a group of assassins slip in too? They might as well stop guarding the border and go home to hold their kids!"

The person on the other end endured Lu Chengze's fury and did not dare make a sound.

Last time, they had still been able to find excuses for the border personnel's mistake, but this time, another group of assassins had slipped through.

A group of assassins!

Not one assassin!

No wonder Fifth Master Lu was so angry.

Who wouldn't be?

But angry or not, the matter still had to be dealt with.

So after hanging up, Lu Chengze hurriedly prepared to leave.

With time so tight, he did not even get the chance to be affectionate with Bai Jin again.

Bai Jin could not wait for Lu Chengze to leave. He did not try to keep him at all and happily saw him out.

"You heartless little thing." Lu Chengze stood at the door and teasingly scolded him before leaving with Lu Jin.

After closing the door, Bai Jin immediately ran to the window. He met Lu Chengze's gaze just as Lu Chengze reached downstairs and looked up.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jin waved and said, "Fifth Master, be careful."

"Got it." A satisfied smile spread across Lu Chengze's face.

After watching Lu Chengze's private car drive away, Bai Jin shut the window, drew the curtains, went to the bed, crouched down, and reached beneath the bedframe to pull out an equally thick black laptop.

He turned it on. It booted in three seconds, and after two light taps, a clean, simple chat interface appeared on the screen.

This was War Wolf Base's internal chatroom.

However, Bai Jin had blocked contact with everyone else and contacted only War Wolf Base's leader—Lou Sheng.

White Wolf: [@Boss, I just received news that foreign assassins crossed A Country's border to investigate the person who killed the drug lord. I might be in trouble.]

The moment White Wolf's message was sent, Lou Sheng's chat icon lit up.

Lou Sheng: [I'm already investigating those assassins' backgrounds. I can send you the list in an hour. No one has been able to trace your identity so far, so you're safe for the time being.]

Lou Sheng was the current head of the Lou Family and War Wolf Base's current leader. He had once single-handedly secured the entire arms supply chain in Europe, and the assets in his hands were too vast to estimate.

Yet he was extremely low-key and composed. To this day, very few people knew what Lou Sheng looked like.

White Wolf: [Understood.]

Since the boss had already sent people to investigate the assassins' list, he would definitely know their detailed information in an hour.

Lou Sheng: [Xiao Jin, how have you been in A Country? You've fucked your man, right?]

That tone clearly belonged to their boss's flamboyant darling wife, whose mouth alone could provoke a horde of assassins into howling for blood—Chi Chuan, the leader of No-Man's Base.

White Wolf felt his eyes burn from Chi Chuan's words. Ignoring the force of that last sentence, he answered only the first half. [Pretty good. I'm a student now, so people generally don't mess with me.]

As for the Bai Family constantly picking fights with him, Bai Jin did not consider that troublesome at all.

If he truly found them too annoying, he could sneak into the Bai Family's home in the middle of the night and send them straight to the King of Hell to repent.

But Bai Jin avoiding the subject did not mean Chi Chuan would let him off so easily.

[Don't try to change the subject. Tell me honestly, how's your man's stamina? Compared to your boss, who's better?]

Bai Jin was mortified. [...Boss, aren't you going to keep Brother Chi in line?]

Instead, Bai Jin received this message: [I also want to know what kind of man made you risk your life to return to A Country and use yourself as bait.]

Bai Jin: [...I'm logging off. Good night!]

He silently cut off the connection, hugged his weak and pitiful self, and shut down emotionally.

Although he had not experienced it firsthand yet, based on Lu Chengze's previous performances and his strength as the captain of a special combat team, Lu Chengze's stamina had to be excellent.

Of course, Bai Jin would never tell anyone that. It was too damn embarrassing.

Bai Jin quietly sat by the bed and waited for an hour before another message notification appeared on the computer.

He opened it and found the list of assassins Lou Sheng had sent over.

The list was quite long, with twelve people in total.

Every one of them was a viciously notorious international assassin. Pull out any one of them at random, and they would be the kind of major case that made local police scalp tingle.

"They really think highly of me." Bai Jin looked at the twelve assassins on the list and helplessly shook his head. "Knowing one or two assassins couldn't kill me, they brought in another group to hunt me down."

"Heh. Since you've come, none of you are leaving."

Bai Jin deleted the message and closed the laptop. As if remembering something, he took out his phone and sent Lu Chengze a message. [Fifth Master, I'm going to sleep. Make sure you stay safe!]

Lu Chengze replied quickly. [Go to sleep. I'll be busy these next two days and won't have time to eat with you. Remember to eat on time.]

[Got it.]

Bai Jin's reply was as obedient as ever, and it softened Lu Chengze's grim expression considerably as he sat in the car.

Taking advantage of Lu Chengze's lessened anger, Lu Mu quickly handed him the information they had found. "Fifth Master, look. This is the list of assassins Lu Shui just uncovered. There are twelve of them in total..."
