In front of a Beach Villa, several tourists were scattered across the spacious sandy beach, some setting up sun loungers and umbrellas, while others contemplated taking a dip in the water.
"I just heard what might have been gunshots. Wow, who knows what kind of tragic robbery our neighbors might be experiencing right now. How thrilling!" One man, short and stocky yet robust, with a bit of chest hair, excitedly rolled off his sun lounger. His movements appeared surprisingly agile and competent.
However, his words combined with his actions seemed a bit odd, as if he were overly enthusiastic.
"I'm Winter Melon Kid. Can you not be so dramatic? The director inviting you over is already generous enough; don’t make him uncomfortable," Ren Pengfei said with a dissatisfied expression. He clearly had deep dark circles under his eyes and looked rather listless. His tone carried a hint of irritation. The robust man was one of their group of Eight People, one of the singles among the two couples.
Ren Pengfei's comment seemed to please a thirty-something man in a bikini who was applying sunscreen to his companion, clearly the so-called director.
However, upon hearing Winter Melon's voice and Ren Pengfei's not-so-subtle flattery, he cleared his throat and said, "Winter Melon, I know you're a veteran. Can you confirm that sound?"
"Uh, there was a lot of noise. I can't be completely sure, but it sounded similar," the short and stocky man replied after a brief hesitation.
He was merely a team leader in the Security Department, but his skills were among the best in the department. This was why the prominent director had brought him along for their outing.
Initially, he was about seventy percent sure it was gunfire, but after being questioned, he felt less certain. After all, gunfire is just gunfire; they were far enough away. As long as they stayed vigilant to prevent any potential assailants from coming their way, everything should be fine—the security conditions in this area were quite good.
Because of this, his response ultimately reassured the Sponsor.
"Well then. Don't be too hasty; don't ruin the mood. But you should still report it to the police," the director said with a frown upon hearing this. He then resumed applying sunscreen to his companion.
His insistence on reporting it wasn't out of civic duty but rather concern about what might happen if there truly was an issue and someone came over.
Just after he finished speaking, Ren Pengfei began to sarcastically respond to Winter Melon’s security concerns. "Director, I've already contacted them. They confirmed with the villa owner that everything is fine. It seems someone reported it before us, so the police should already be on their way. There's no need to worry; the villa owner is fine, and there will be police coming soon."
It was evident that although the fellow began to mock the security guard, he had still grasped the character of his superior. Thus, he had taken the initiative to contact the Security Department of this villa area in advance.
In addition to his own considerable talent, he possessed a keen sense of observation and understanding of others' feelings. It was only natural for someone so young to be entrusted with significant responsibilities, especially after a night of little rest due to some misunderstanding.
Yang Xiaoyou, who was walking towards them from the beach, also caught their voices through her sharp hearing and smiled lightly, indifferent to the situation.
While there had been some conflicts between her group and Ren Pengfei, witnessing him here allowed her to understand him a bit better. This fellow was somewhat clever, but it was clear he was also bold and cautious, which meant there was no need to pay him much mind.
On the other side, when Ren Pengfei saw Yang Xiaoyou arriving with the Tour Guide Sister, he muttered in a peculiar tone, “Tsk tsk, looks like she’s hooked up with another one.”
His strange intonation sounded like a self-talk but was perfectly audible to those beside him. It clearly caused many to glance at Yang Xiaoyou with a hint of difference in their eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, this created a gap between Yang Xiaoyou and the other tourists.
At that moment, Charming Shadow and Dream Butterfly also strolled out from the villa, arriving fashionably late.
Dream Butterfly still wore a white sun hat and oversized sunglasses. It seemed she had changed into a swimsuit but had thrown on a loose shirt over it that covered down to her thighs. As the gentle sea breeze stirred it slightly, this half-revealed appearance sparked an impulse in onlookers to wish for stronger winds to unveil more.
Her long, fair legs were undeniably eye-catching. While most attention had been drawn to Charming Shadow yesterday, this contrast brought a fresh wave of interest from others who hadn’t paid much attention before.
Even though other parts were concealed, those beautiful legs alone were enough to attract quite a few admirers with particular tastes.
As for Beside, she wore a bold black bikini, casually tying a ribbon around her waist. It wrapped around her sexy, narrow swimsuit while partially covering her pert backside, complementing her chest and that astonishingly toned waist, making her even more eye-catching and alluring.
Even on the neighboring beach, there were people gazing over here with infatuation.
Whether it was the shirt on Dream Butterfly or the scarf tied by Charming Shadow, both had an element of flair that enhanced their appeal through clever concealment.
It seemed that Charming Shadow had put some thought into dressing up Dream Butterfly.
With a charming smile on her face, she noticed Yang Xiaoyou and subtly nodded. As a top assassin, she could naturally discern whether that sound was gunfire.
Perhaps it was due to the appearance of these two, along with Ren Pengfei's words and that of the Tour Guide Sister, that the tourists present seemed to exhibit a more pronounced sense of rejection towards Yang Xiaoyou.
This made him feel somewhat speechless, but since he was originally out to experience the world with Dream Butterfly, he didn’t mind others' opinions about him.
“Master, according to intelligence reports, Revenant has already sensed the movements of Ming. Well, I haven’t been too discreet lately. If luck isn’t on my side, they might have discovered me as well. However, that gunshot just now was more than ninety percent likely not aimed at us.” As she approached Yang Xiaoyou, Charming Shadow leaned in closely to whisper in her ear.
Yet their conversation carried a slightly serious tone.
