for Advance Chapter

  Sun Momo started the car and slowly slid into the traffic. This time she did not drive at high speed, but just drove towards her home at a normal speed. When the two of them went out to play, they would go back to Sun Momo's house first, and then Mo Yiyi would drive home by herself.

  "This guy, he doesn't even want to say his name, how arrogant..."

  Mo Yiyi held her phone, flipping through it listlessly, while muttering to herself, "Momo, don't you think that guy is too bad? After all, we are two young and invincible beauties in front of him, and he didn't even say his name..."

  Sun Momo hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I remember his license plate number..."

  "License plate number?"

  Mo Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up from his seat: "You said you remember his license plate number?"

  Sun Momo hummed, "I was concentrating on following his car, so I wrote down his license plate number..."

  Mo Yiyi grabbed Sun Momo's arm with shining eyes: "Momo, tell me his license plate number quickly. As long as we have his license plate number, we can find out who he is. Haha, Momo, you are really amazing..."

  Momo blushed slightly: "My memory is just a little better."

  Mo Yiyi picked up the phone and asked impatiently: "Hurry up, tell me, how much, how much..."

  As Sun Momo drove, she reported Chen Xiao's license plate number to Mo Yiyi. After Mo Yiyi wrote it down, he picked up the phone and started dialing. Soon, a pleasant female voice came out: "Yiyi, why are you calling me so late at night?"

  Mo Yiyi called out with a smile: "Sister Hua, I want to trouble you with something."

  "Oh, what's the matter? Tell me." The person on the phone did not make any excuses or hesitation. It was obvious that Sister Hua and Mo Yiyi had a very good relationship, so good that there was no need for any formalities.

  "I want to check the owner's information of a vehicle. I have its license plate number..."

  "Is that all?" Sister Hua's voice was slightly surprised.

  "Yes, that's it." Sister Hua asked helplessly, "You girl, you woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask me to help you find the owner of a vehicle..."

  Mo Yiyi immediately started to act like a spoiled brat: "Sister Hua, you know I'm very impatient. I can do whatever I want. You must help me, otherwise I don't know who else to ask for help..."

  "Okay, okay, you girl, I really can't stand you. Text me the license plate number. I'll have them check it out and get back to you tomorrow."

  "Ha, thank you Sister Hua, I'll send it to you right away!"

  After hanging up the phone, Mo Yiyi quickly sent Chen Xiao's license plate number to Sister Hua, then leaned back in his seat and said proudly, "Momo, we'll know who that guy is tomorrow!"

  Sun Momo asked nervously, "Yi Yi, are you going to go find him?"

  "Of course. It's so hard to meet such an awesome master, how can I miss him!" Mo Yiyi chuckled, and added proudly: "Besides, don't you think this uncle is so cool and stylish? He is definitely the type who would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"

  …

  When Chen Xiao returned home, it was almost twelve o'clock. He originally thought that Mu Qingshuang should have gone to bed, but after entering the house, Chen Xiao found that Mu Qingshuang was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a document.

  "Why haven't you slept yet?" Chen Xiao asked with a puzzled look.

  Mu Qingshuang was feeling down. Aunt Liu wasn't home today, so there was no one to make dinner. She had wanted to wait for Chen Xiao to come back and have him cook something for her like he had that night, but she'd been waiting until midnight. Mu Qingshuang had also wanted to make some instant noodles, but after eating Chen Xiao's noodles that night, she had lost her appetite for homemade dishes.

  Feeling her stomach was somewhat empty, Mu Qingshuang hesitated for a while, then said to Chen Xiao: "Chen Xiao."

  "What's wrong?" Chen Xiao blinked and asked casually.

  Hearing Chen Xiao's voice, Mu Qingshuang whispered to Chen Xiao: "Can you cook a meal for me..." The voice was so weak that Mu Qingshuang couldn't even hear what she said clearly.

  Although her voice was very low, Chen Xiao easily caught what Mu Qingshuang said.

  "No problem." Chen Xiao answered directly and cheerfully, but he undoubtedly smiled bitterly in his heart.

  Although he felt a little ridiculous, Chen Xiao still said to Mu Qingshuang, "Wife, wait a moment. I promise to give you a good dinner."

  Mu Qingshuang's face flushed, and she didn't say anything. She then lowered her head to look at the document again. However, her absent-minded look seemed to explain the shyness in her heart at the moment.

  It must be said that Aunt Liu's care for Mu Qingshuang was truly meticulous. Even though she wasn't here today, the refrigerator was filled with a dazzling array of fresh ingredients. Immediately, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate and directly took out a few pieces of fresh tofu, pork belly, eggs, and other items from the refrigerator, then busied himself in the kitchen.

  …

  "Wife, try this." Chen Xiao handed the bowl and chopsticks that had been prepared long ago to Mu Qingshuang, and then picked up another dish for Mu Qingshuang.

  Mu Qingshuang didn't care and ate it directly. His eyes couldn't help but light up, and Mu Qingshuang's attention was directly transferred to the dishes in front of him.

  Pot-fried tofu, boiled fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and spicy chicken were all very common home-cooked dishes. But for some reason, the dishes made by Chen Xiao were ten times better than those made in restaurants!

  Mu Qingshuang looked at Chen Xiao with some surprise. She couldn't help herself and asked Chen Xiao, "How come you are so good at cooking?"

  "Didn't I tell you? I'm just a genius, and I'm good at everything I do!" Chen Xiao boasted to Mu Qingshuang beside him with a coquettish look. As he spoke, Chen Xiao attentively picked up a dish for Mu Qingshuang.

  Mu Qingshuang did not refuse, and felt the long-lost warmth in her heart. Chen Xiao looked at Mu Qingshuang and tentatively placed one hand on Mu Qingshuang's soft, white and tender hand.

  Mu Qingshuang instinctively dodged Chen Xiao's outstretched hand, glared at Chen Xiao fiercely, and then said coldly: "Chen Xiao, don't go too far!"

  Chen Xiao, whose hand was shaken off by Mu Qingshuang, was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Mu Qingshuang with a smug look on his face, and then said, "Hehe, no problem, whatever my wife says is what it is..."

  Mu Qingshuang was very satisfied with the meal. Since Chen Xiao had just eaten more than a dozen plates of food at the Oriental Hotel, most of the dishes on the table were eaten by Mu Qingshuang.

  …

  When Chen Xiao returned to his room, he realized that his phone had been turned off. After plugging it in and turning it on, Chen Xiao found a missed call and a text message.

  The missed calls and text messages were all sent by Xia Yubing.

  "It was you who saved me, wasn't it?"

  Xia Yubing's message was as straightforward as her personality, asking whatever came to her mind. Looking at Xia Yubing's message, Chen Xiao wondered whether he should admit it or not.

  Chen Xiao didn't intend to be mysterious. Saving Xia Yubing was just a kind of help from a friend. There was nothing to hide about it. Moreover, Xia Yubing knew his skills, so there was no need to hide it...

  Let it be.

  Chen Xiao threw his phone on the bedside table next to him and turned over on the bed. He was not going to call Xia Yubing at this time and take the initiative to call and admit that the person was him?

  Come on, that's so stupid.

  Saving her was just a piece of cake, and I didn't expect anything in return. As for not meeting her, it was mostly because I didn't want to have any more contact with the police.

  Chen Xiao lay in bed for a while, then suddenly remembered something. Then, Chen Xiao stood up and sat back in front of the computer. Turning on the computer, Chen Xiao did not open the small games directly to play like he usually did at the office, but entered the browser.

  After opening the browser, Chen Xiao directly typed in a long string of characters. Chen Xiao's fingers moved like playing the piano on the keyboard, so fast that it was almost dizzying. Finally, Chen Xiao pressed the Enter key hard, and then a page with a black background slowly appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes.

  The background of this page was a mouth, gaping bloody, like a cave, its mouth mingled with blood, as if it could draw one in, unable to extricate themselves. Looking at the page before him, Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head. He hadn't visited this website in a long time.

  This website is a dedicated place for employers and mercenaries to exchange tasks. Any employer can post a task and wait for someone to take it. Mercenaries like Chen Xiao, or undercover agents like assassins, can also receive various tasks here.

  Of course, there's a prerequisite. Both the employer and the subordinates must be sufficiently capable. These individuals are required to pay a $100,000 USD handling fee annually! This threshold alone deters most people in the world. The last time Chen Xiao received a mission, it was a sniper kill.

  Kill a roaming drug lord! This was Chen Xiao's last mission, and the only one he failed. Even now, it's still prominently displayed on the website's homepage. It's also the only mission even the Mercenary King couldn't successfully complete! But in reality, Chen Xiao had already completed this mission; he simply wasn't willing to hand it over.

  Because, in Chen Xiao's mind, he had completely failed this mission! Nearly a dozen lives had been lost in Africa. At the thought of this, Chen Xiao's eyes couldn't help but fill with blood. He took a deep breath, suppressing his inner irritation, and then Chen Xiao flipped through the other pages of the website.

  Chen Xiao has always had a habit, that is, here, he can clearly see some people's holidays and relationships, which is also of great help to Chen Xiao.

  However, Chen Xiao had already returned to the city and naturally didn't care about these things. The reason he opened this website was just out of nostalgia and curiosity.

  Shaking his head, Chen Xiao browsed for a while and was about to close the website. However, he glanced at it casually, and the mouse he was about to press froze in place. Then his eyes were fixed on a corner of the webpage.

  In the corner, a long string of characters was written, making people feel dizzy. However, this naturally did not include Chen Xiao. These symbols each represented their own meaning, and when connected together, they formed a single sentence.

  C-level mission: Jianghai City, Mu Group President, Mu Qingshuang, reward, 10 million US dollars!

  Looking at the long string of characters on the web page in front of him, Chen Xiao's face became gloomier little by little.

  Someone wants to kill Mu Qingshuang? This thought flashed through Chen Xiao's mind. When Chen Xiao realized this, his face turned ugly in an instant.

  Chen Xiao didn't think the other party's name was the same as Mu Qingshuang's, because the other party's mission had clearly explained Mu Qingshuang's specific origins.

  Jianghai City! CEO of Mu Group!

  With all this preliminary information, is there a second person besides Mu Qingshuang?

  Chen Xiao's expression instantly turned grim, his mind filled with confusion. Who had Mu Qingshuang offended? To Chen Xiao, the other party had actually issued a mission to kill Mu Qingshuang in such a place was simply unbelievable. Because anyone who could issue a mission here was definitely not an ordinary person, and their financial strength was definitely not weak! To issue a mission in such a place was clearly determined to kill Mu Qingshuang!

  The doubt in his eyes became more and more intense, and Chen Xiao's face became more and more ugly. Even Chen Xiao did not expect that he would see such a thing when he just flipped through it casually on impulse!

  His expression gradually hardened as Chen Xiao continuously refreshed the URL. The mission to kill Mu Qingshuang was still listed as a C-level task, which undoubtedly indicated that no one had taken it up yet.

  This also made Chen Xiao feel inexplicably relieved. Because, since ancient times, China has been a forbidden area for mercenaries, and few mercenaries or assassins dared to casually intrude into Chinese territory. But even so, Chen Xiao was still a little worried.

  Because greed is human nature, there are always those who are not afraid of death and will take a gamble for immediate benefits. Moreover, this mission seems too easy. Killing a powerless woman is a simple matter for these bloodthirsty men. Naturally, some people will lose control of their inner desires and take on this mission.

  Chen Xiao wanted to use his identity to take on this task, and use his reputation to dissuade those who wanted to take the task. Unfortunately, all the information about accepting tasks here was anonymous. No one except the employer could see the information of the person who accepted the task.

  Moreover, if the task is not completed within a certain period of time, then the task will be hung in the task bar again, and may be upgraded to a B-level or A-level task, and the reward will be greatly increased, which will obviously be more disadvantageous for Mu Qingshuang.

  When he thought of this, Chen Xiao's face unconsciously turned ugly. Unable to bear the waves of headache, Chen Xiao rubbed his head and casually closed the website on the computer screen.
