Enter the scene as a militiaman, then kill the wolf to close the show!
“What are you doing?”
Li Xiaobai pushed open the door, carrying a plastic bag of beer and clutching two pieces of bread in his arms. He saw Rod twisting and standing upside down in the crisscrossing cotton seams of the room.
“Practicing yoga.”
Mr. green-eyed big thief gasped and put down one foot cautiously, adopting the stance of a golden rooster standing on one leg.
“New hobby?”
Mr. Killer, who lost the rock paper scissors, went out to buy midnight snacks, put down his shopping bag, and threw the keys into the tray at the door.
“No, it’s a practice for action~”
Rod jumped on one foot happily, then executed a back flip while keeping one hand on the ground, landing stably outside the lined living room.
“Practice?”
Li Xiaobai raised his hand suspiciously and touched the cotton thread, which was nothing special. The small bell on it made a crisp sound with a slight tremor…
Rod casually picked up a towel and wiped his face before collapsing into the sofa with his head covered… “Honey, have you seen “Entrapment”? The most famous thief movie directed by Jon Amiel.”
“I don’t have time to watch movies.”
Li Xiaobai, with a cold face, holds once again the lonely ringing bell.
Rod was still intoxicated by the topic just now: “That movie starred Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones; oh ~ Catherine’s ballet-like scene of hiding from the laser Skynet is really a classic in the thief movie! It combines the beauty of the body with the danger of death; it’s amazing! This idea has been imitated by many works later, such as the male version in ‘Ocean 12’…”
“Get to the point.”
“Ok ~ Ok…” Rod raised his hands helplessly, “Oh God! You are so boring… Well, the point is, the latest special security system of the Uffizi Gallery, coincidentally, is ‘Skynet’!”
Li Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are these cotton threads?”
Rod grinned as he raised his hand and threw the printed information to Li Xiaobai, “This is just a model. And the movie prioritizes art, so it’s embellished. In reality, Skynet is not that slow, not to mention making people slowly twirl and jump gracefully like a ballet. I think hip hop may not be able to keep up… And there is another problem. In the movie, there are gaps and loopholes in the laser net for the sake of aesthetics, but the one used this time in the Uffizi Gallery has no loopholes. If you want to break in, you may need to destroy at least a few laser heads… but when more than one laser head malfunctions, the alarm will activate… Hmm, that’s somewhat problematic… Since it appears that you can only destroy one at most, which one is better to destroy?”
After reading through the information, Li Xiaobai turned to face the thief seated on the sofa and asked, “Have you succeeded? Have you obtained the curator’s key and security information?”
Rod spread his hands and said, “Of course, don’t you see who is taking action~”
Li Xiaobai was depressed.
Rod continued to add fuel to the fire and teased, “Oh my~ Honey, it seems like there hasn’t been any progress on your end~”
“Hughes Leo was very cautious and didn’t immediately allow me to work next to him. He said I was going to be his bodyguard, but he assigned me to protect others…” With a dejected tone, Li Xiaobai threw the information back onto the sofa.
“Isn’t that right? This guy is so suspicious…” Rod muttered, “What about the lover part? Don’t tell me, you were assigned to roll with others on sheets first.”
“…” Li Xiaobai opened a can of beer and took a sip. “No, he just looked at me.”
“Looking at you? What do you think?” Rod folded his arms and shivered with an unbearable expression… “Is he staring at you lecherously? Eh~ This guy is really abnormal…”
“If there is still no breakthrough in the study and bedroom near the second floor by this time tomorrow, I will take action tomorrow night.”
Rod was stunned and said, “Just take action? What do you want to do? You are not allowed to kill people and arson!”
“I’ll try my best.” After taking his final sip of beer, Mr. Killer flattened the can and threw it accurately through the bell string in the living room into the garbage bin in the corner. Then he stood up and opened the door. “The person that Hughes asked me to protect will arrive at the airport in two hours. I’ll head out first… I’ll give you the result within 24 hours.”
“Okay, it’s settled.” Rod grinned as he lay on the sofa, stretched out his hand, pulled out a can of beer, and licked it. “Oh, that’s right. By the way, who did he ask you to protect?”
“His niece, Misha Georg.”
Rod looked up, his eyes sparkling, “A beauty?”
“…” Li Xiaobai glanced back at him, then slammed the door! “She’s only five.”
The private airport of the Leo family in the suburbs of Florence is brightly lit.
A large number of bodyguards in business attire stood guard at their respective posts.
Li Xiaobai had just entered the industry and had not yet received any outfits, so he was still wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt and black casual pants, with his hands in his pockets, standing inconspicuously in the corner.
Two large bodyguards wearing sunglasses, standing not far in front of him, were whispering to each other.

The plane appeared to be delayed, and the pick-up team had been standing foolishly at the airport for a while. Everyone began to relax, and the conversation between the first two bodyguards grew louder.
“How is Miss Misha?”
“She’s still the same; as the eldest lady, the bodyguards around her must be replaced every half-month. Duncan and others are complaining that if this frequency continues, there will not be enough bodyguards in Berlin.”
“One batch every half a month?! Wow, that’s an astonishing number… Were they all fired by her?”
“No, there are also people who take the initiative to resign because they can no longer work. This tiny devil seemed to enjoy torturing others around her. God bless her; fortunately, she is just five years old…”
“I don’t understand why she is dissatisfied? Her grandfather gave her half of his huge fortune, her father is a business tycoon, and her mother’s family is a European mafia. What is this called?”
“The proud son of heaven…”
“Yes, the proud son of heaven… I bet unless she is a dwarf and disabled, she is simply angry and resentful, or she is really ugly. She is ugly? She must be very ugly…”
“I heard she resembles Young Master Leo’s late mother Evelyn, with ocean blue eyes and light golden hair. She won the German regional competition for the world’s most beautiful baby at the age of three. She didn’t compete in the finals because she assumed the plane was economy class and refused to board it. However, everyone agreed that if she did not quit up midway, the championship would undoubtedly be hers.”
“…F*ck me… The fact once again demonstrates that God has always been unfair.”
“Bullsh*t.”
A small air disturbance passed across his ear, and Li Xiaobai looked up and waited for a while. The outline of a luxury chopper gradually materialized in the pitch black sky, and others took notice of the renowned guest’s arrival and became busy…
As soon as the plane landed, countless bodyguards in suits rushed forward to surround it. Li Xiaobai took two steps forward and found that he couldn’t squeeze in, so he simply walked around behind the tail of the plane and waited quietly for the exaggerated welcome party to end.
The cold temperature of the mechanical shell against the back made people calm, and Li Xiaobai began to consider a gentle way to approach the second floor of Leo’s mansion. Then he felt a tiny vibration from the plane’s thick, strong tail…
An unobtrusive escape door slowly opened, not because the components were outdated but because the person tugging on it was too weak. Li Xiaobai stood motionless and observed with great interest as the small girl with cute cotton candy-like light golden wavy hair struggled to crawl out of the escape door before nervously stretching her legs to jump from the tail that was much higher than her…
The welcoming team in front of the plane suddenly erupted into a riot! The angry voice of the team leader Barn echoed through the night sky of the airport: “Find her for me right now!”
The little girl who escaped started to tremble while hanging halfway outside the escape door. Her feet were too far from the ground, and her hands had no strength. Now she was really in an awkward situation.
Li Xiaobai stood up and silently walked over, picking up the small child in one hand, pulling her off the plane, and placing her on the ground.
“Aah!” The girl exclaimed in surprise, but her voice was muffled by the howling wind and the noisy search of bodyguards at the airport. But she was clearly terrified, and her wide-open ocean-blue eyes glared viciously at Li Xiaobai behind her! “Who are you?!”
Li Xiaobai quickly searched for his identification in his head and slowly responded, “Bodyguard Jia.”
“Bodyguard?” The little girl frowned and glanced at Li Xiaobai’s casual attire with suspicion, then quickly regained her momentum, “Whatever, I’m warning you to stay away from me! Don’t even think about stopping me; if you don’t let me go now, I will scream indecency! If you dare to report me after I leave, I’ll fire you!”
Li Xiaobai folded his arms and leaned back against the plane’s tail, making a nonchalant “please help yourself” gesture before losing interest in her.
It would be better if you ran away, Li Xiaobai thought, since he was not really here to be a bodyguard. If Hughes Leo’s important niece is missing, Leo’s main house will be in chaos tonight, making it easier to move around.
Miss Misha had probably never met such an easy-to-talk bodyguard. She stood there blankly for a while, staring intently at Li Xiaobai’s outstandingly delicate side face with his recuperate closed eyes, before changing her mind.
“Hello!” The little girl tugged on the trouser legs of the boy in black, raised her head, and spoke in a tender, childish voice, “Bodyguard Jia, you’re coming with me. You will drive and keep vigil as I buy things.”
Without lifting his eyes, Li Xiaobai answered, “No.”
“I’ll fire you!”
“Do as you wish.”
“I’ll cry for you to watch!”
“Do as you wish.”
“I, I’m really crying! As long as I cry, Uncle Hughes will personally kill the person who made me cry!”
Li Xiaobai opened his eyes and asked, “Oh? Did he do it himself?”
“Of course! Anyone who makes me cry would be called into the office by Uncle Hughes and then scream in agony all night, and no one would come out again…”
“Office… the office on the second floor?” Li Xiaobai finally got interested and squatted down in front of the little girl, staring directly into her eyes. “That’s great, then you cry.”
Misha paused in disbelief for a moment with her mouth open and then suddenly raised her chin and said, “I won’t!”
Then our ever-changing eldest young lady respectfully patted her fluffy skirt, swaggering past Li Xiaobai and circling towards the spotlight in front of the plane, and “surrendered” with an arrogant expression…
The team leader, Barn, breathed a sigh of relief, swiftly beckoned the scattered bodyguards to regroup, and then reached out to hug little Misha firmly.
“Don’t touch me! Big black bear!” The cheeky lady with ocean-blue eyes slapped Barn’s big hand away in disgust, and then her delicate tiny finger pointed distantly at Li Xiaobai hiding in the airplane shadow. “I want him to carry me!”
Barn gave the unlucky Li Xiaobai a dismal look. All of the bodyguards and airport officials looked at the named guy with complicated eyes…
If I had known, I would have battered her to tears, Li Xiaobai reflected.
“What are you doing again?”
Li Xiaobai pushed open the door, holding an incredibly large teddy bear, and saw Mr. Green-eyed big thief happily holding a color palette in front of the easel, smearing and painting…
“Painting~” Rod held three paintbrushes in his hand and one in his mouth. He answered vaguely and continued to paint blue on the canvas.
Li Xiaobai threw the key into the tray at the door, dragged the teddy bear behind Rod, and glanced at Mr. Thief’s masterpiece… “‘The Boy with a Pipe?’ Are you imitating the world’s most valuable painting?”
“Does it look good?” Rhodes narrowed his eyes and smiled proudly~
Li Xiaobai looked at the semi-finished product again, then at the original Picasso painting photo next to him. Rod’s painting is precise, like a photocopy of the original piece…
“Although I don’t want to admit it, you are quite talented at painting.”
“Please call me a genius~” Rod spat out his paintbrush, picked up the beer next to him, and took a sip before pointing to the bear tucked under Li Xiaobai’s arm. “Honey, you know, I prefer rabbits over bears.”
Li Xiaobai completely ignored him, threw the bear to the ground, and rummaged around the disorganized workspace… “Where did the microcamera go?”
“On the left drawer,” Rod sat cross-legged on the small ladder, reaching out to pick up the enormous bear on the ground and carefully examining it. “It appears Miss Misha really likes you a lot~ Who would have imagined that a child’s toy, like a soldier’s rifle, should only be handled by trustworthy individuals~”
“This is not her toy yet.” Li Xiaobai eventually spotted the camera and straightened up. “She also doesn’t like me. Yesterday, she asked me to carry her while walking back to Leo’s main residence—from the suburbs of Florence.”
“Walk?!” Rod was stunned.
“Then I inexplicably became her exclusive bodyguard. Last night, I stood outside her room all night without taking a break.”
“Oh… Honey, poor guy, are you sleepy?” Rod clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“No, it’s okay if I don’t sleep.” Anyway, I’m used to it. It’s acceptable if I don’t sleep for two or three days, Li Xiaobai thought, “The problem is, I don’t have time to go to the bathroom.”
“…” Rod’s eyes were filled with tears.
Li Xiaobai continued without expression, “This morning she asked me to fly her to kindergarten again…”
“Oooh, wait a minute, ‘fly’?” Rod raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
“Well, first take a helicopter into midair, then parachute, and finally land with a glider.”
“…” Rod mumbled, “I was wrong; she’s a genius.”
Li Xiaobai snorted coldly, “As for that bear, it is a limited edition that Teddy Company has not yet released this year. She suddenly wanted it while skydiving, and she must see it today. Do you understand what I mean by not being released? Are you sure she likes me with this behavior?”
“Oh~ Honey, you are so miserable…” Rod kissed the bear’s nose, “But from a psychological standpoint, children are creatures second only to aliens. Who knows what they’re thinking… I am curious how you got your hands on this unreleased toy?”
Li Xiaobai pulled the bear back and grabbed his backpack, “I won’t tell you.”
Rod narrowed his eyes. “Honey, there are only six hours till your 24-hour promise. Are you certain there’s no problem? Do you want my help? If you inform me, I’ll assist you. How about that?”
“No need.” Li Xiaobai opened the door, “That painting is part of her grandfather’s collection. In the afternoon, Hughes Leo will take her to the art museum for the final inspection before the exhibition, and she wants me to accompany her. What an excellent opportunity, isn’t it?”
The door has been slammed shut, just like yesterday!
Rod sat in the same spot, picked up the paintbrush, shook his head lightly, and sighed, “Oh, honey, you are so charming~”
“I heard that Misha is very clingy to you.”
Hughes stood with his hands behind his back next to Li Xiaobai, his dark gray eyes fixed on the artwork on the wall. His voice was very gentle, not because the conversation content was undisclosed but purely out of upbringing.
When it was not open to the public, the exhibition hall of the Uffizi Gallery was silent and had the atmosphere of an art castle.
Even the bodyguards, who were used to being in the midst of shooting, remained silent at this moment and moved silently around.
Li Xiaobai silently pressed the anti-magnetic device in his hand. He had just used this thing to destroy a laser probe, so Rod could dance ballet, hip-hop, or perform yoga in the gaps between Skynet tomorrow night.
“She is my important niece,” Hughes’ voice was still soothing but oppressive, “I don’t want to see anyone harm her; I hope you understand. I will keep an eye on you.”
“Harm her?” Li Xiaobai asked, looking at the artwork on the wall. “So far, she has been tormenting me.”
Hughes chuckled, “You’re very frank.”
Li Xiaobai turned his head and looked at him strangely. Is there anything to hide?
The young man’s perplexed appearance certainly pleased Young Master Leo, and his smile deepened slightly. “Come to my office tonight.” Then he leaned out and removed the other person’s cap, indifferently stating, “You should also fulfill your lover’s duty occasionally.”
Li Xiaobai was very nervous at this moment.
Because the micro camera is installed on the hat.
Could it be… did he find out?
Hughes looked up at the youth staring intently at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and paused for a moment before raising his hand and returning the hat to the other person. “Your eyes are very beautiful; don’t always cover them.”
Li Xiaobai watched as Hughes Leo gradually walked away, clutched his hat, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief…
On the other end of the camera, Rod, who was sitting in front of the surveillance computer, also wiped his cold sweat…
“Honey, thank goodness, thank goodness, you’re beautiful…”
When they first met, Li Xiaobai had already figured out Hughes Leo’s combat abilities, so he wasn’t concerned about knocking down the opponent after getting close.
All he wants is an opportunity to be alone with Hughes and a chance to access his office.
Now he is in his office, and the two of them are alone.
Li Xiaobai checked his watch and realized that there was still half an hour left before the 24-hour agreement. It would take 15 minutes by bus from here to Rod’s residence. In other words, he has just 15 minutes to deal with Hughes Leo.
“I’m sorry, but time is running out, so let’s skip the foreplay,” Li Xiaobai whispered quietly as he locked the door behind him.
Hughes frowned, “What?”
The next moment, he had fallen down!
Li Xiaobai instantly stretched out to hug him before gently and silently placing him on the ground.
He gazed at Young Master Leo, who was unconscious on the ground after receiving a heavy blow to the back of the neck. He thought to himself; it seemed Rod stated that he cannot knock others unconscious… Forget it. Li Xiaobai shook his head and turned around to take the device that collects fingerprint and iris scans from his backpack. Anyway, since I’m a beginner, I’ll have to take it slowly.
The floor plan was found on the computer disk, and the key was also found on Hughes. Li Xiaobai put away the tools, checked his watch, and then called Rod, “Hey, this side is settled. I’ll be there in 15 minutes.”
Rod’s voice sounded helpless, “Settled? Didn’t you just go in? It’s only been ten minutes… Does Young Master Leo have premature ej*culation?”
“We didn’t do it.”
Rod shivered and said, “Honey… I have a small question. Shouldn’t you be… knocking someone unconscious with a fierce expression?”
“En.”
“…” Rod rubbed his forehead, “What are you going to do now? We will do it tomorrow night, and the opening ceremony during the day tomorrow will require Hughes Leo to cut the ribbon! He saw you doing something to him! All we can do now is kill him or lock him up, then who will go to the opening ceremony tomorrow?!”
“I am about the same height as him. I have recorded his voice. I know everyone around him.”
“…” Rod was stunned for a while, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Okay, kid~”
Li Xiaobai picked up his backpack, opened the back window, checked the evacuation route that he had explored over the past few days, and then turned around and bent down to pick up Young Master Leo from the ground.
“Put him down!”
The sudden shout stopped Li Xiaobai and frightened him all over! Looking back in surprise, Misha walked out from behind the slowly opened bookshelf.
“I originally wanted to hide in the darkroom to scare my uncle, but I didn’t expect to see such an interesting thing.” Little Misha approached Li Xiaobai gently and fearlessly, tilting her head and inquiring, “What are you planning to do to him, bodyguard Jia?”
Li Xiaobai didn’t answer. He was thinking about the necessity of killing this little girl to silence her.
“Are you planning to kill him?” Misha continued to inquire.
Li Xiaobai shook his head.
“You’re going to steal the painting, right?”
Li Xiaobai nodded.
“Which one? It must be the most expensive one, right? ‘The Boy with a Pipe’?”
Li Xiaobai nodded again.
“Then… take me with you!”
The most incomprehensible creature in the universe, second only to aliens, eventually smiled and then made a request that made people vomit blood.
