Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

Li Ruoxue gripped the seatbelt tightly, her long eyelashes trembling wildly, and even her breathing became cautious.

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her looking so willing to be taken advantage of.

"Just kidding, look how scared you are."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoxue opened her eyes abruptly, her face turning so red it looked like it could bleed.

"Chen Yang, you bastard!" She raised her fist to hit him.

Chen Yang grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Looking at her bright red lips, he lowered his voice, his tone somewhat teasing.

"However, Ruoxue, I'm really getting angry and I can't control it. It might affect the mission later."

Li Ruoxue was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yang pointed to himself.

Li Ruoxue bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Chen Yang leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Li Ruoxue froze, her eyes wide open and her cheeks burning red.

"You're dreaming! Absolutely impossible!"

Her voice cracked; she couldn't believe her ears.

Chen Yang wasn't angry and slowly leaned back in his chair.

"Alright then, let's just wait here until Xu Tianjiao finishes the transaction, packs his bags, and leaves. Anyway, it's unlikely I'll be able to go on a mission given my current situation."

Li Ruoxue got anxious and reached out to push his shoulder.

"Don't act like a scoundrel! The case is the case, what kind of outrageous request is this?!"

Chen Yang shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"How can this be called a rogue's request?"

"We're playing a pair of doomed lovers, a powerful figure and his young, beautiful wife. If even they don't believe it, how can anyone else?"

"Besides, your leather jacket really got to me, so you're the one who has to put out this fire, aren't you?"

Li Ruoxue's chest heaved with anger, and her tight leather jacket created a striking silhouette that was hard to look away from.

She glanced at the warehouse outside the car window, then at the man beside her who was grinning smugly, and her teeth were practically grinding to powder.

Just this once.

Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum, and she kept her head down, not daring to look at Chen Yang at all.

A dozen minutes later.

The carriage was filled with an indescribable smell.

Li Ruoxue was lying on the control panel in the passenger seat, coughing incessantly, her eyes red and glistening with tears.

She frantically rummaged through her bag for wet wipes and vigorously wiped her mouth, smearing her lipstick all over it.

"Chen Yang, I'm not done with you yet!"

She cursed as she wiped.

Chen Yang slowly straightened his pants, casually pulled out a tissue and handed it over, smiling with satisfaction.

"Officer Li, you still need to work on your professional skills."

"It almost bit me in half."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoxue was so angry that she crumpled up a tissue and threw it at his face.

"You still dare to talk back!"

"I should have just bitten it off, so you wouldn't go out and harm others."

She rolled down the car window, letting the cold wind blow in, trying to cool down her burning cheeks.

The strange taste in her mouth just wouldn't go away, making her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Chen Yang leaned over and helped her tuck her stray hair behind her ear.

"Alright, don't be angry. It's just what the mission requires."

"Who in their right family would need to come up with this before getting anything done!"

Li Ruoxue glared at him irritably, then quickly took out her lipstick to touch up her makeup.

Chen Yang stroked his chin, examining her collar, which was slightly disheveled from her earlier movements.

"I must say, the way you look like you've been bullied really does resemble that pampered little wife who was forcibly taken from you."

"If you say another word, I'll sew your mouth shut."

Li Ruoxue touched up her lipstick and gave a stern warning, but with her reddened eyes, it didn't really have any effect.

Chen Yang decided to call it quits and glanced at the time.

"That's about enough, time to get to work."

Li Ruoxue took a few deep breaths of the cold air outside, put her sidearm back in its place, and got out of the car with Chen Yang.

The night wind was cold, making the tattered rags on the dock rustle.

The two walked side by side toward warehouse number twelve.

Chen Yang casually put his arm around Li Ruoxue's slender waist.

Li Ruoxue stiffened, instinctively trying to break free.

"Don't move, someone's watching."

Chen Yang whispered a reminder, but instead of loosening his grip, he tightened his hold on her even more, and the two were almost pressed together.

Li Ruoxue could only grit her teeth and endure it, keeping pace with his steps as they walked towards the warehouse door.

Two burly men were standing at the gate, smoking.

Seeing the two men approaching, one of the men threw down his cigarette butt and blocked their path.

"What do you do?"

The man looked the two of them up and down, his gaze lingering brazenly on Li Ruoxue's tight leather jacket for a couple of seconds.

Without wasting words, Chen Yang took out a black wooden plaque from his pocket and waved it in front of the man.

This tag was a keepsake he found on Lao Gui.

The man's attitude changed immediately when he saw the pattern on the sign; he dropped his frivolous look.

"So you're the friend Old Ghost introduced. Please come in."

Chen Yang didn't even glance at him, and swaggered inside with Li Ruoxue in his arms.

Li Ruoxue muttered to herself.

"This token works quite well."

"That's right, Old Gui is a big shot in Xu Tianjiao's eyes, so of course his reputation is very useful."

The two walked through a long corridor and came to an iron gate.

Pushing open the iron gate, you'll find a huge abandoned factory inside.

The room was brightly lit, with several tables in the middle and armed bodyguards standing around it.

Li Ruoxue quietly observed her surroundings, her fingers unconsciously reaching for the holster at her waist.

Chen Yang held her hand down.

"Don't be nervous, just follow me."

The two found a corner to sit down and ordered two drinks.

There were quite a few people in the factory, gathered in twos and threes, chatting quietly.

They all appear to be underground buyers participating in this transaction.

Li Ruoxue picked up her wine glass and took a sip, her eyes constantly searching through the crowd.

"Xu Tianjiao hasn't arrived yet."

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers idly on the table, appearing very relaxed.

"What's the rush? The big boss always shows up last."

His gaze fell on the group of people at a table diagonally in front of him.

Three foreigners were sitting at the table, talking to the people next to them in broken Chinese.

Chen Yang leaned close to Li Ruoxue's ear.

"See those foreigners?"

Li Ruoxue followed his gaze.

"What's wrong?"

"They are Kuroba's people."

Li Ruoxue was startled and turned to look at Chen Yang.

How did you know?

"Look at the tattoos on their wrists."

Chen Yang took a sip of his drink, speaking casually.

"Those special black feather tattoos are only worn by core members of the Black Feather faction."

Li Ruoxue quickly looked closely and indeed saw faint black patterns on the wrists of the foreigners.

"It seems that they are the buyers for Xu Tianjiao this time."

Li Ruoxue gripped her wine glass tightly.

"If we let them transport these cultural relics out of the country, we'll be in big trouble."

Chen Yang patted the back of her hand.

"With me here, they won't be able to take anything with them."

As they were talking, the factory gate was pushed open again.

Several bodyguards in black escorted a man in a white suit as he entered.

The man looked very refined, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had a gentle smile.

But Li Ruoxue found that smile to be very fake.

This person was none other than Xu Tianjiao.
