about something. His hand gently caressed her cheek.A shiver of inexplicable warmth, definitely fear.Atmosphere, ambiguous.He carried a faint scent of magnolia, an unknown perfume that held a subtle...When Kaka woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. The Middle East weather was scorching hot, it being summer and all. Being on the beach with no shade made things even worse.

He felt relaxed and comfortable all over. He hadn't slept this long or this well in ages.

The sunlight was blinding, Kaka tilted his head, touching a soft lump. The familiar scent made the corner of his mouth twitch upwards. His gaze shifted upwards and he saw Wu Shuang sleeping peacefully.

He was leaning against her stomach, warm and fragrant. Her unique curls covered half of her face, the sun was scorching, yet she slept so soundly, unaware of anything.

Kaka closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth for a moment and not wanting to get up.

No wonder I could sleep so comfortably, she was right beside me.

The moment he moved, he felt her hand in his. KaKa smiled faintly. It seemed even in his sleep, he remembered to hold onto her. He knew the feel of her hands best, even if he were blind, after touching hundreds of women's hands, he could quickly identify hers as unique.

He carefully got up and sat beside Wushuang, putting her windbreaker on. The sun was almost at its zenith. Kaka looked at his watch; it was almost noon.

His phone was almost blown up by Qinglong, everyone thought something happened to him. Kaka didn't want to wake Wushuang, so she sent a message to Qinglong to reassure him.

Unbeknownst to him, Qinglong had already pinpointed his location using satellites and knew he was at the beach with Wushuang. That's why he didn't continue calling later.

The weather is really hot.

Kaka thought, the Middle East is about to be turned upside down.

Government agents will be on high alert starting today, making it difficult to avoid the Mafia's influence. The Mafia boss in the Middle East is unparalleled.

He turned his head to look at Wu-Shuang. She was sleeping peacefully, and no one could have imagined that such a delicate woman carried the weight of a massive Mafia on her shoulders.

"Kakaka..." Wushuang suddenly muttered, Kakaka smiled and turned her face, "Awake..."

His smile faltered. He thought WuShuang had woken up, but WuShuang mumbled his name in her sleep before falling back asleep. Kaka's heart ached. Over the years, how many times had she called his name in her dreams

But he...

There were a few responses.

"I'm here," Kaka whispered. He knew Wushuang was just mumbling, not truly awake. He knew that his "I'm here" sounded awfully foolish, and that Wushuang couldn't hear him anyway.

He smiled wryly, he could only do that to dare respond to her like that.

If Wushuang had woken up, this sentence would never have been heard.

I'm here!

I am here, always here, just call me and I'm with you.

He leaned over and couldn't help but kiss her on the lips. This was the second time he had secretly kissed her while she was asleep. When awake, he always found himself restrained by reason, though his heart yearned to do otherwise.

Such a kiss is always hidden from the sunlight.

Just like some things in one's own heart.

To hurt her was his greatest pain.

He couldn't find a path where they could both see the light.

Kaka's heart ached even more. He reached out and gently embraced her, holding her head against his shoulder. "Sleep," he whispered, "I will always protect you."

Wushuang Meng was in a dream, unaware of what she dreamt about, but she still lifted the corner of her lips into a smile.

At noon, Wushuang woke up, yawning tiredly. Kaka was smiling at her from the side, "Did you sleep well"

"Good. Why didn't you wake me up"

“I see you sleeping soundly, I can’t bear to wake you,” Kaka said. “You only say I am tired too, look at you, exhausted. Sleep more, don't worry too much about my affairs. Now that we have the Ghost Noodles helping out, you should take the opportunity to rest and relax.”

“Who cares about your business I’m busy lately,” Wu Shuang said, “To tell you the truth, Ghost Face is really talented. He’s been a huge help. The burden on me and the boss has lessened instantly. I need to find more talents like him for the Mafia so that the boss can relax a bit.”

"You're dreaming, Mo Yao isn't someone who gives up power, even if his subordinates are capable." Kaka said with a laugh. Mo Yao's temperament was that of an emperor, with tyrannical policies. He was good to Mo Xiaobai to the point of being admired by gods and humans, but towards others, it was a different story.

Two people stood up, Wushuang rolled up her windbreaker, "I'm a little hungry."

"Let's go eat something," Kaka laughed, putting his arm around Wu Shuang's waist and walking forward. Wu Shuang turned her head to look at the person's hand on her waist, raised an eyebrow, just about to say something when Kaka's phone rang. He took his hand away to answer the phone.

Wushuang’s words were stuck in her throat again.

"Nanfeng, something happened, come back quickly." Qinglong said, Kaka's face darkened, "What's wrong"

Several officials from the National Security Department were waiting in the temporary meeting room, requesting to see you. The personnel at the nearest air base to us have been mobilized, and I think they've teamed up with the government of Oman. They might even deploy their air force if necessary," Qinglong said, "The latest intelligence shows that a batch of the newest fighter jets are being transported from the Gulf of Mexico. This batch was just developed in the second half of last year, and its firepower is comparable to our new bombers. If negotiations break down, I fear they might play a dangerous card."

"I see. Where's Tianyu" Kaka asked in a low voice.

Qinglong said, "In the military command center, Tian Yu has already positioned the air force. If there is any movement at that base, he will strike first."

Kaka nodded. "I understand, I'll go back right away."

Kaka hung up the phone, and Wu Shuang worriedly asked, "Did something happen"

"It's fine, I can handle it." Kaka smiled and dialed Ye Tianyu's phone. "Tianyu, mobilize the best air force in the Middle East to form a cordon around Muscat and conduct large-scale exercise training. Remember, don't harm any civilians, it's an exercise."

Ye Tianyu said, "Received!"

Kaka hung up the phone again, "I can't have lunch with you."

“It doesn’t matter.” Wushuang said, the smile gone from her face, worry evident. Kaka had released a message yesterday, saying that no matter what, the North American government would take action, even mobilizing military bases. It seemed they were prepared to go all out.

This is simply overreaching.

"Go ahead and busy yourself," Wu Shuang said. "Be careful."

Kaka nodded, "Don't worry, I'll do it."

He walked to his car, turned back to look at the unparalleled beauty of the seaside, and suddenly said, "Wushuang, I won't be in any danger."

Wu Shuang smiled faintly, nodded slightly, got into the car and drove away from the beach. Wu Shuang's smile vanished instantly, she dialed the Muscat intelligence office, "I want all the details of today's activities by the First Terrorist Organization in Muscat, especially the negotiation meeting records."

"Yes!"aindrops fell like a drumbeat, as if she were in a huge basement. She was tied to a chair, with shackles on her feet, unable to move. What surprised Nuan most was that her shirt had been taken off, le...
