The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1666: Chapter 1652

She couldn’t quite describe her feelings toward Chu Ge at the moment. She only knew that when Ru Xue came to notify her to take action against Chu Ge, she felt a bit of hesitation in her heart.

She knew this feeling wasn’t good, especially for them as assassins; it’s quite a tricky matter.

Assassins have no emotions; once they develop emotions, it will lead to endless suffering.

Ye Liang slightly lowered her gaze, a sorrowful shadow concealed within her eyes.

The night was deep, and Chu Ge didn’t notice the faint layer of desolation surrounding Ye Liang. He only spoke softly, "You should go back to your room and rest. I’ll go check on Feng Luo."

Ye Liang responded with a simple "oh," looking at him with words wanting to escape her lips, yet unable to voice them in the end.

Chu Ge puzzledly looked at her, "What’s wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. Why be awkward with me?"

Ye Liang gave an awkward smile, "It’s nothing, I just suddenly realized you seem to care a lot about Feng Luo."

Chu Ge was taken aback, then laughed it off silently. He was only curious whether Feng Luo was still upset because of him today and wanted to check on her. How did it end up becoming this...

He gave a little cough, "Alright, don’t overthink it. Usually, Feng Luo isn’t like this. I think it’s not because of you that she’s behaving this way today. I’ll go check on her; you should rest early."

Ye Liang responded with a "hmm," watching his departing figure. Gradually, the sorrow in her eyes turned into icy coldness.

After Chu Ge left, Little Shunzi emerged from the darkness, nervously approaching Ye Liang and asking, "Lady Ye, why did you move into the Beggar Gang?"

Ye Liang looked at him coldly, "Why can’t I move into the Beggar Gang?"

Little Shunzi hurriedly gestured, "I didn’t mean it like that. I was wondering if, since you’ve moved in, I don’t need to continue monitoring Mr. Chu?"

Ye Liang stared in the direction of Chu Ge’s departure, pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Sometimes I’m not convenient; you’ll need to continue monitoring."

"..." Little Shunzi felt hopeless, wondering when this life would have an end.

...

Chu Ge arrived at Feng Luo’s door, the light inside was on. Just as he reached the doorway, he heard the earnest voice of Luo Jiu inside, offering advice.

"Child, what’s wrong with you? Normally, you aren’t this inconsiderate. What’s gotten into you today that you seem so different?"

Luo Jiu asked puzzledly.

Feng Luo sat on the stool, resting her hand on her cheek, remaining silent.

"I say, my dear lady, speak a word. Did someone bully you? Tell Uncle Nine, and I’ll take care of them for you!"

Luo Jiu patted his chest and said.

Feng Luo glanced at him indifferently and chuckled toward him, "Chu Ge annoyed me; go ahead and deal with him."

"Well..." Luo Jiu’s lips twitched; he dared not provoke Chu Ge. If he did, not only would Luo Qi deal with him, but even the Old Gang Leader wouldn’t let him off easily.

"That shouldn’t be the case, right? If Mr. Chu annoyed you, why not vent your anger at him instead of Miss Ye Liang?"

Luo Jiu asked puzzledly; it didn’t follow logic.

Feng Luo sneered at him, rolling her eyes, "I just find Ye Liang unpleasant, alright? That woman is very complex; coming to our Beggar Gang at this moment surely harbors bad intentions!"

She had seen Ye Liang and Little Shunzi meeting outside the city, and the two seemed to be plotting something.

Little Shunzi had been staying at their Beggar Gang for a while, and from the moment he arrived, she found something strange about him. Now he finally showed his true colors, revealing the mastermind behind the scenes.

Not even considering who she came for, just based on her identity alone, this person poses a problem!

"Feng Luo, just tell Uncle Nine, are you jealous? Do you happen to like Mr. Chu??"

Luo Jiu was experienced, realizing that interactions like Feng Luo’s and Chu Ge’s were most likely to spark feelings. Although Feng Luo was only in her teens, it was the age where one’s first romance tends to bloom, knowing what it’s like to like someone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Luo choked on her own saliva, staring at Luo Jiu in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

Outside the door, Chu Ge was even more stunned, feeling that these words were somewhat absurd.

After a while, Feng Luo reached out, touched Luo Jiu’s forehead, and said with a mocking smile, "Uncle Nine, you haven’t developed a fever, have you?"

"Go on, Uncle Nine is talking serious business with you!"

"I’m talking about serious business, too!" Feng Luo suddenly became serious, "How could I possibly like Chu Ge? He’s not even from our timeline..."

Luo Jiu froze, looking at Feng Luo in surprise, "You already knew?"

Did she know he was the Vermilion Bird Star?

Luo Jiu felt uneasy.

"I figured it out as soon as Chu Ge arrived; I’m not foolish."

Feng Luo rolled her eyes at him, then reached out for an apple, crunching a bite, saying, "Actually, I’m not targeting Ye Liang today; it’s just that I saw her meeting Little Shunzi today, and I feel they definitely harbor some conspiracy within our Beggar Gang."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu quickly glanced toward the door, checking if anyone was outside, and immediately saw Chu Ge standing at the entrance. He licked his lips, "Mr. Chu, why are you here?"

Feng Luo turned to look at the doorway, just in time to see Chu Ge walk in.

He heard her conversation with Luo Jiu, and he approached the table, sitting down, looking at Feng Luo puzzledly, "Just now you said what? Ye Liang and Little Shunzi?"

Feng Luo casually ate her apple, nodding slightly, "Yeah, by the river outside the city, I saw Little Shunzi and Miss Ye Liang there talking for quite a while, but the distance was too far for me to hear what they’re talking about."

Chu Ge furrowed his brows slightly, recalling seeing Little Shunzi and Ye Liang earlier, and it seemed like they didn’t know each other.

"Hey, didn’t you mention before that Little Shunzi came to Shuo State for a family visit? Why haven’t I seen him go for any family visit?" Feng Luo asked curiously.

Suddenly, Chu Ge understood, Little Shunzi was someone he saved by chance along the way, and they traveled together because they shared the same destination.

Thinking about it like this, there seems to be something fishy, but he’s been too focused on the Vermilion Bird Star and hasn’t paid much attention to Little Shunzi.

"Could Little Shunzi be someone Miss Ye Liang sent to spy on you?" Feng Luo suddenly leaned closer to Chu Ge, asking faintly.

Chu Ge looked at her, but didn’t answer.

"Anyway, I have to apologize for what happened today."

Chu Ge said.

Luo Jiu asked puzzledly, "Today? What happened today?"

Feng Luo pursed her lips, speaking with a sarcastic tone, "You wouldn’t happen to think my strange behavior during the meal today was because of you, do you?"

Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, "Wasn’t it?"
