How come I was the one being targeted?

He must be a special person with some special mission, someone who needs to blend in with the crowd. Perhaps a guard of the Divine Strategy Palace? Or some other powerful identity unknown to him? In short, such a person would never be content to be just an ordinary servant.

After saying hello to his colleagues, Bai Jun left the government office. Based on the principle of having nothing to do today, he went to Sanyu Bookstore to browse the recently arrived newspapers, magazines and novels. Then he was going to have some tea at Buyehou, but he felt no interest.

So he wandered aimlessly on the streets of Changletian, but soon he was surprised to find that Changletian seemed to be a little too lively because of some festival he didn't know.

The market in Changletian is not usually this lively.

With the main avenue on the south side as the center, you can see crowds of people and countless agricultural products. On site, you can see wooden boxes filled with piles of golden wheat, colorful berries and apples, large pumpkins and other various agricultural products.

These crops, representing abundance and generosity, looked more gorgeous and charming than the jewels in the treasure chest. There was no salesperson near the wooden boxes, making one think they were simply for display. Passersby simply picked up a fruit from the boxes, bit into it directly, and ate it with relish, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

On the other side of the north street, many vendors were selling small items such as figures and Lecards. The largest crowd gathered in front of one of the autograph auction booths, and you could vaguely hear the loud shouts of sellers.

"This autographed piece from Miss Robin is incredibly rare and priceless. The previous owner passed away, and before she died, she specifically asked for it to be passed on to other fans of Miss Robin. That's why it's being auctioned!"

The scene before him made Bai Jun gradually realize that this should be the benefit brought by the concert tour. He just didn't expect the influence to be so wide. It seems that he really underestimated this concert.

I wandered around aimlessly for the whole day. When the colorful clouds still lingered in the western sky, the night had quietly fallen from the east.

As if urged by the night, lights were lit one after another in the streets of Changletian.

After dinner, Bai Jun saw that it was almost time, so he walked towards the Shen Ce Mansion.

Because he had been there so many times, the Cloud Cavalry at the gate let him in directly after seeing him, allowing him to walk straight in. He walked around the corridor across the courtyard with ease, and did not enter the main gate. Instead, he opened the small door on the side.

It's not that the door said it couldn't be opened from this side, nor was it that he wanted to do anything sneaky, but this way he could reach Room C3 faster and avoid the sight of the many Cloud Riders in the main hall. He was not used to going upstairs while being watched by a bunch of people.

The lights in the reception room were bright, and faint sounds of conversation could be heard from inside, presumably because the meeting was not over yet.

Bai Jun silently complained that he might have come too early, but it would be troublesome to leave now, so he had to find a quiet place to sit down, praying that the boring meeting would end quickly.

Suddenly, Bai Jun, who was fiddling with his fingers out of boredom, noticed the corridor on the other side.

There stood a group of men and women in suits, their attire different from that of the Cloud Cavalry. Most of them stood silently in front of the wall with their hands folded in front of their stomachs. From the slight smell of gunpowder and blood emanating from them, it could be judged that they were the security team of the Mockingbird.

At the head of the crowd was a middle-aged woman who looked like an agent. She was wearing an obviously carefully designed professional suit. The style looked ordinary, but it was actually made of high-end material and was very valuable. Her black hair was dyed shiny, but wrinkles were still visible on her face. However, her figure had not changed, and one could even see some signs of exercise.

Both his posture and expression show that he is a well-educated and generous professional, and he must be the leader of this team.

However, the white-haired man standing next to her had a perfunctory look on his face, yawning from time to time, and his clothes were also strange and alternative. No, it couldn't even be called clothes. It should be a black metal shell similar to that of an intelligent robot, with a red scarf draped over his shoulders.

The most obvious of these is his exotic-style cowboy hat with a flat brim.

Compared with the woman in a suit next to her, she looks like a country cow cat, although the color matching seems quite similar...

Bai Jun was not interested in eavesdropping on their conversation. He could only see the white-haired man in denim clothes constantly whispering something in the middle-aged woman's ear. His movements and expressions were sometimes exaggerated and impatient, and sometimes lost and resentful. The middle-aged woman had only one reaction to his various harassments.

——That is ignoring, completely ignoring.

The middle-aged woman was like the two majestic and solemn stone lions in front of the Shen Ce Mansion. She always kept her eyes on the door of the conference room. She was extremely cold towards the white-haired man, as if this team and the white-haired man were two different groups and had nothing to do with each other.

The white-haired man seemed to be used to it. He gestured to the middle-aged woman and muttered to the air for a long time. Then he sighed heavily, put a bullet in his mouth, patted his butt, and left in a swagger.

Bai Jun shook his head in disdain, scoffing. He had only one opinion about this frivolous guy:

"Humph, I will never get involved with such a person in my life."

At this time, there were noises of chairs being moved in the conference room, followed by dozens of footsteps. After the Yunqi Army in the corridor took action first, the middle-aged woman immediately nodded to the back.

The security personnel who had been standing quietly in a row in front of the wall, at the signal of the middle-aged woman, stood in two rows in an orderly manner in front of the door, and consciously formed a passage for the conference participants who opened the door.

Bai Jun saw many familiar figures among the meeting participants. The first was Yukong, the director of the Tianbo Division, followed closely by Heng Huifu, the director of the Diheng Division. The two did not notice Bai Jun sitting on a bench in the distance. They were concentrating on communicating with the exchange group in suits around them.

There was no sign of Jing Yuan and the robin inside, and the security personnel soon left with the exchange group, leaving only the middle-aged woman guarding the gate alone.

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman's gaze shifted to Bai Jun, who was sitting idly on the bench, and pointed inside the door expressionlessly.

…She must be telling herself that it’s time to go in?

Guessing what she was thinking, Bai Jun walked to her side and pointed at the door to make sure that he had not misunderstood her meaning.

The other party didn't react at all - this probably meant he agreed.

Bai Jun pushed the door open and tentatively put his face inside. He instantly felt two pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Bai Jun, are you shy?"

"General, you are joking."

This time, Jing Yuan did not call him Qing Yan, but called him by his real name seriously, which made Bai Jun feel a little awkward for a moment. He sighed and walked into the door.

The layout of the conference hall was simple and clear, with only a huge long table and two rows of chairs. Now there were only three of them in the huge space. Bai Jun stood at the door, Jing Yuan sat at the head of Luo Fu's row, and the blue-haired girl sat at the head of the other row.

"Let me introduce you. This is Miss Robin. But I think you must know her. After all, this world-famous superstar has long been a household name in Luofu." Jing Yuan introduced to Bai Jun with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bai Jun. I also apologize in advance for the trouble I'll cause you with the upcoming work."

Robin immediately responded with a gentle and polite smile. On her exquisite and soft face, the lethality of this move was quite terrifying. Even Bai Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder she could be a cosmic idol. The charm that was inadvertently revealed in her frown and smile alone could create a terrifying gap of several planets between her and ordinary women.

"You're welcome. I'm just doing the job for you."

Bai Jun shook his head. This answer made the robin blink blankly, not knowing how to respond to such an absurd conversation.

"Ahem, in short, during these few days, Bai Jun, you must do everything in your power to protect her. No mistakes can be made... and..."

Jing Yuan stood up in time to rescue the situation. He patted Bai Jun's shoulder vigorously and signaled him to be serious with his eyes. However, he soon changed the subject and a slight smile appeared on his face again. This smile made Bai Jun feel creepy and he shuddered subconsciously.

"Miss Robin's situation is a bit special now. In order to protect her safety, you should follow Miss Robin to her temporary residence tonight." Jing Yuan said calmly.

"Ah....Um....Huh?"

Bai Jun made a weird expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" But when he turned around and saw the robin smiling and nodding at him, he immediately realized something was wrong. "Wait! You're not kidding!?"

"Why would you joke about a matter involving human life? Your reaction is rather strange. As a bodyguard, it's normal for you to stay by your employer's side at all times, right?"

Jing Yuan shrugged in confusion, then seized the opportunity and took out a dumpling from his pocket and stuffed it into Bai Jun's mouth when he was about to open his mouth to refute. Soon, the originally resistant expression on his face gradually melted away.

"Never mind. It's all right. I don't care."

The marshmallow on the surface of the dumpling was soft and light, while the grapes wrapped inside were fresh and juicy. Bai Jun chewed the dumpling with a taste he had never tasted before, his expression somewhat intoxicated.

Jing Yuan stuffed a bag of dumplings into Bai Jun's hands with satisfaction, thinking that the dumplings he bought in the morning were indeed the right choice.

The little blue bird that witnessed the whole thing was so shocked that its ear feathers stood up.

Is this... Xianzhou's unique way of deceiving people?

Chapter 69 Brothers, Stop It (4k1)

After agreeing on various procedures, Jing Yuan personally sent Robin away from the Shen Ce Mansion.

The Cloud Cavalry led the way for the delegation until they escorted Robin to Chahai, where Chang Letian had already evacuated all personnel. There were several modified and thickened commercial Star Rafts with shock absorbers parked there. In fact, commercial Star Rafts were very common in Luofu. They were just cheap means of transportation that pulled covered wagons to carry people.

However, the general rafts have poor protection capabilities and cannot withstand the impact of other star rafts. After being specially modified to add military ship materials, they can effectively resist the impact caused by malicious incidents.

As for Bai Jun...naturally he had to sit in the same star ship with her. The key was Jing Yuan's strict instructions.

The comfort of sitting in the business star chariot was much better than that in the ordinary star chariot. Bai Jun took off the sword from his waist, placed it at his side, and sat in the seat opposite the robin. He leaned lazily on the cushion, which was so soft that he felt like he was about to sink into it.

Unlike the great idol like the robin who always has to pay attention to his posture and etiquette, he is used to being purely casual and naturally doesn't care about these twists and turns.

Robin kept smiling. She was indeed in a good mood, and her smile was genuine. However, the look in the eyes of the middle-aged woman beside her as she looked at Bai Jun was not so much cold as hostile and wary...

It was obviously the first time that Bai Jun met her, but her attitude was so bad, and the way she looked at him was as if she was looking at a pile of industrial waste.

In the face of her eyes that were about to burn with anger, Bai Jun rubbed his ears as if he didn't see it, then changed to a more relaxed and comfortable posture, and continued to stuff the uneaten dumplings in the bag into his mouth.

Respect is mutual. Since she doesn't treat him well, there is no need for Bai Jun to treat her well.

But then again...why did this Miss Mockingbird keep staring at him? It was making him a little uneasy.

Fortunately, the robin seemed to notice his embarrassment and spoke first with a smile:

"I originally thought the general's assigned guards would be like those Cloud Cavalry soldiers standing at the door—serious, cold, and professional, focused solely on completing their missions. However, Mr. Bai Jun is far more interesting than I expected. I hope we can get along happily during this time, just like friends."

After saying that, Robin took off his gloves and stretched out his right hand towards him expectantly.

Although the universe is incredibly vast, it does have commonalities in many cultural aspects, such as a handshake that expresses goodwill.

Bai Jun, who was chewing a dumpling in his mouth, said nothing. He silently rubbed his right hand, which had just held the dumpling, on his shirt, and then gently held her hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

After leaving Chahai, reaching the center of Xingchahai and heading straight north, you will reach the temporary residence of the robins for the past few days.

The temporary residence assigned to Robin by the Luofu authorities is a villa area near the center of Xingcha Sea. There are no other residents around, only a gorgeous villa located in the center. This is a standard residence that combines an inner courtyard and a peristyle.

The elegant and magnificent white marble forms the arched-column courtyard, with a small bronze sculpture fountain in the center and small and medium-sized swimming pools in the backyard. It combines beauty and practicality, making people exclaim at the evil of capitalism.

"By the way, Helen, have you seen Mr. Portio?"

Robin seemed to have not found any trace of someone in the team, and asked the middle-aged woman with a cold attitude in confusion.

When faced with the question from the robin, the middle-aged woman named Helen showed a touch of tenderness on her face: "I'm sorry, miss, I don't know where that gentleman is. Maybe he has left."

"That's right. After all, we are not the same kind of people...Mr. Bai Jun, what's wrong with you?"

Robin's expression was visibly lost. She sighed softly with a bitter smile on her face. When she reached the gate of the villa, she suddenly noticed that Bai Jun beside her had stopped.

"I'm just doing my duty as a guard. Please don't worry about me and just focus on your own business."

Bai Jun shrugged, gave a simple response, and walked towards the outskirts of the villa.

Guarding work is not his strong point, but it is not his weak point either. He had learned the skills of a shadow guard when he was in Yaoqing. Even if it is just three or two moves, it should be more than enough to deal with the current situation by copying them.

While Shadow Guards specialize in intelligence and covert matters, they share some commonalities. For example, assassins will conduct pre-investigation and infiltration of their target's residence before a mission to facilitate both the execution and their escape. Conversely, Guards can also conduct pre-investigation and simulation of a residence.

As the saying goes, a guard who is not a good assassin is not a good guard!

After walking around the perimeter of the villa several times, Bai Jun roughly observed the surrounding environment and used a notebook to outline the basic structure of the building in detail.

"Tsk, what a lot of loopholes! They can easily penetrate the villa courtyard through the sewer pipes, then climb into the third-floor window along the house's external pipes, and then... humph, there are more than a dozen secret ways to infiltrate without any effort."

Looking at the villa full of loopholes, Bai Jun, who was suffering from occupational disease, covered his face with his hands and sighed worriedly, feeling annoyed by the difficulty of his work. Just as he was about to return to the villa to check the internal structure again, a malicious force suddenly attacked from behind.

The sound of the bullet being loaded was so clear at this moment, and the awe-inspiring mechanical sound seemed crisp and cold.

"Hey, don't move, kid. Now put your hands up straight, or he'll shoot you to death right now."

The black muzzle of a gun was pressed against the back of his head, and a man's voice with a strong mechanical sound came from behind him.

There was also a faint aroma of malt in the air, which seemed to be the "Bart 17 Years" sherry barrels produced in the Kavalan star region. In addition, Bai Jun could also smell a hint of gunpowder and metal.

The taste of the beer is so bad that it doesn't seem like it belongs to a local. Gunpowder is not common in Luofu. Add to that the strange habit... Is he a foreign believer in the secret teachings of the King of Medicine?

But before he could think any further, the man's voice grew increasingly impatient. "Darling, I told you to raise your hands. Don't you understand the synesthesia beacon? If this weren't our hunting home, I would have shot you dead."

"I understand, but let's be clear, Xianzhou law strictly prohibits the use of firearms in the city, okay?"

The man did not respond to him, but stared at his slowly raised hands until he was sure that he was no longer threatening. When he was about to snatch the long knife hanging at his waist, Bai Jun suddenly turned around, blocked the muzzle of the gun with his right palm and lifted it up.

"His precious——!"

The man obviously didn't expect that someone would be crazy enough to block the muzzle of a gun with his palm, but without giving it much time to think, he immediately pulled the trigger and shot directly through Bai Jun's palm.

However, battles are ever-changing and flaws are often fleeting. It was at the moment of his hesitation that Bai Jun quickly let go of the notebook in his hand, and his freed left hand turned into a heavy punch that hit him in the face.

The blow was as fast as thunder. Even though the man was prepared, his body had no time to react. With a dull thud, his face was hit hard by the punch. He was hit so hard that his eyes went black and his nose bled. He felt his hand lighten and the revolver had been taken away by Bai Jun.

The man lost his balance after being kicked in the calf and fell face first to the ground. Fortunately, he offset the impact with his hands in time, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious.

The situation changed suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, the situation on the field was reversed.

Bai Jun took advantage of the situation and pressed on the man's back, clamping his arms with his thighs, and the revolver fell to the side. At the same time, the muzzle of a larger, longer, hotter black gun was pressed against the back of the man's head, and his finger was on the trigger. If he dared to move, he would make a big hole in his head.

"Don't move. Now lie still, or my heavenly fire will definitely open a big hole in your head."

Bai Jun easily suppressed the man's resistance, and pressed the muzzle of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judge's gun against his face, threatening him unhappily.

I really didn’t expect that I would encounter an attack less than a day after taking office. Should I say it’s good luck or bad luck?

Before Bai Jun could continue asking questions, he heard the man who was pinned to the ground let out a click of his tongue, and his mechanical finger aimed at the gate of the villa area with difficulty. Then a flare shot out from the fingertip, and a huge firework exploded at the gate of the villa in an instant.

The alarmed security guards in the villa quickly followed the trajectory of the flare and saw Bai Jun and the man pinned to the ground.

"Hey! Darling, don't just stand there like an idiot. This guy is more than you can handle! I'll hold him off, you guys hurry up and take the big star out of the house!"

The man slammed the ground angrily, yelled at the dumbfounded security guards, and then struggled with all his might to get up.

Bai Jun was briefly confused when he heard the conversation. He had not had time to observe in the chaos just now, but only then did he notice the characteristics of the man's clothing.

The cowboy hat, the mechanical shell, the cow-cat-like hair color, the conversations he had with the guards, and the mention of Poteo in Robin's chat just now... Wait a minute, could this be the man I saw in the corridor of Shen Ce Mansion earlier!?

"Mr. Potio! Mr. Baijun! What are you two doing?"
