Chapter 264: Chapter 44: Find Him a Love Rival

As the voice sounded, chaos erupted instantly at the venue.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately stepped back, as the women surged forward like wolves and tigers towards Danny Jay.

Just when Gu Xiaoxi stood by, ready to enjoy the show,

suddenly, the venue fell quiet, as if time had stopped, and everyone miraculously froze in place.

Gu Xiaoxi rubbed her eyes hard, finding it too incredible to believe.

The next second, Danny Jay elegantly walked out from the frozen crowd, then grabbed her and ran.

Three seconds later, the women’s screams rang out again.

Afterward, everyone looked around in confusion, clearly having forgotten what had just happened.

By that time, Danny Jay had already taken Gu Xiaoxi into the VIP passage.

As soon as they entered the VIP passage, a butler dressed in a black suit came up respectfully and handed Gu Xiaoxi a passport, a new identity card, and a plane ticket.

"This is as far as I can take you. Xiao Xi, am I not a good friend!" Danny Jay said with a smile that crinkled his eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi took the items and looked at them carefully. The name on the identity card was Angela Qiao. Seeing no issues, she then spoke with a relieved tone, "Thank you for your help!"

Although she had been tricked by this guy, he had helped her, and that was the truth.

If it hadn’t been for his help, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to leave D state today.

"That’s all I need to hear, Miss Gu! May I have your contact details?" Danny Jay looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a face full of hope.

Gu Xiaoxi generously wrote down her contact information, "This is my phone number, you can message me."

Danny Jay looked at the string of numbers on the card, his smile deepening.

Gu Xiaoxi, holding the plane ticket, glanced at the time; it was time for her to leave.

"Thank you for your help today! Goodbye!" To this man she had met only half a day ago, who was a bit overzealous in his warmth.

Gu Xiaoxi now couldn’t yet discern whether he was good or bad, but at least at this moment, he had helped her, making him half a friend.

"Goodbye!" Danny Jay watched as Gu Xiaoxi’s figure retreated, his smile growing ever broader.

The butler, puzzled, looked at him and curiously asked, "Duke, why are you being so good to her? She’s just a race car driver!"

"What do you know, you philistine? She has her own uniqueness and extraordinariness! I admire her!" Danny Jay, with his hands in his pockets, his navy-blue military attire gave him a lean and charming silhouette. A mere glance had a seductive allure that could make one fall.

Gu Xiaoxi, holding her plane ticket, successfully boarded the plane.

Just as the plane was about to take off, a beautiful flight attendant came up to her with a delicate little box, smiling politely, "Miss, the duke asked me to give this to you. He wishes you a safe journey."

"I don’t accept gifts casually. Take it back, and thank him for his generous offer!" Gu Xiaoxi said indifferently.

The flight attendant hesitated momentarily before conveying the final message from Danny Jay, "The duke said that this should be an exchange of gifts. He has also accepted a gift from you, and this box contains something of yours."

Her things!

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly realized that when she had changed clothes earlier, her bank cards and all her personal items had been left inside her clothing.

At the time, she had only been focused on quickly getting rid of him and had forgotten to take her things.

Hurriedly, Gu Xiaoxi took the box and upon opening it, she saw a bank card given to her by Su San along with an unfamiliar Ruby pendant.

The Ruby was clearly of exceptional quality, and to her astonishment, she could sense Magical Energy emanating from it.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at it for just a moment before searching for the badge of Number Seventeen.

The box wasn’t large, and it didn’t contain any other trivial items because she had a habit of never taking anything related to her identity when going out, fearing it might reveal herself, except for the badge of Number Seventeen.

Now, having searched through the box, she couldn’t find the badge.

Her heart sank, and she had a bad feeling!

The flight attendant had said that Danny Jay had made an exchange. He had taken her gift, likely the badge!

He had taken the badge of Number Seventeen!

Gu Xiaoxi’s mood soured in an instant.

But by then, the plane had already taken off.

On her return trip, Gu Xiaoxi was in a terrible mood, for the badge of Number Seventeen was a symbol of identity.

If it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be severe.

Upon landing in A city, she immediately took out her phone and saw a message from Danny Jay, "Dear Gu, I’ve only kept your item as a memento, since we’re friends. I would never harm you."

Gu Xiaoxi felt that at this point, she had no choice but to place a bet on the integrity between people.

Since he wanted to keep it as a memento, she could only leave it with him, given that she couldn’t go back now and take it back.

D State, after all, was still a controversial place for her.

Gu Xiaoxi could only reply to him, "It’s a very important item, I hope you keep it safe! I hope to have it returned when we meet again."

Danny Jay in D State, looking at the message, a smile formed on his lips, and then he muttered to himself, "So this is an opportunity to meet again! It seems that keeping this item was the right decision."

Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxi got in touch with Liu Yishou. At that moment, she checked the time—it was the morning of the third day since she had left, and she needed to return to the military base by that evening.

In A City, since she was back, she decided to visit home and wait for her master, the old man.

Gu Xiaoxi drove Quan Shaoqing’s car back to her home in A City.

The butler ran up warmly to help her park the car and busied himself with ordering delicious food from the kitchen, with the same enthusiasm as if Quan Shaoqing had returned.

"Miss Gu, why didn’t Young Master Quan come back with you? Weren’t you together?" the butler asked kindly, carrying out some tasty pastries.

Gu Xiaoxi took a sip of tea and smiled politely, "He’s on a mission. I came back to take a look and will return to the troops tonight."

"Oh! What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you right now."

"No need to bother! Please go ahead with your work! I’ll go to my room." Gu Xiaoxi put down her teacup and took her belongings back to her room.

She turned on her computer as soon as possible and logged into online banking.

She withdrew the money from the bank card given by Su San using a stranger’s card, and then transferred it through more than a dozen intermediaries.

After deleting all the transaction records, she finally wired the money into her ten different bank accounts.

After all, the seventy million, known only to have been exchanged in Liuli Country and then traded, vanished without a trace as to which accounts it flowed into.

Because all the transaction records had been deleted.

Only then did Gu Xiaoxi feel at ease to take a bath and change her clothes.

On the other end, since Quan Shaoqing had seen Gu Xiaoxi win the car race, they had found the mutant creature, leading to a tense battle that lasted a day and a night. By the time they eliminated the ferocious underwater creature, Gu Xiaoxi had already returned home and was lying in the bathtub.

Gu Xiaoxi, soaking in the water, heard her phone ring and promptly picked it up.

"Gu Xiaoxi!"

"Here!"

"Where have you been these past few days?"

Quan Shaoqing’s tone sounded cold and pressing.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyebrows rose—wasn’t he on a mission? Did he know she took leave?

"I’m at home!" Gu Xiaoxi confessed truthfully.

"At home? Which home? What have you been doing these days?" Quan Shaoqing stood at the bow of a ship, lighting a cigarette, his expression tired and cold. His tall silhouette was like a mountain, yet it carried a hint of lofty loneliness.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly reviewed her actions in her mind, pondering whether to come clean or not.

But the events half a world away, Quan Shaoqing on a mission surely wouldn’t know.

If she could bluff her way through this, it would save trouble.

Moreover, he would never allow her to have any connection with Lu Xi.

"Just in A City, will you be coming back tonight?" Gu Xiaoxi blinked shrewdly, steering the conversation away.

"Wait for me, I should be home by around six o’clock." Quan Shaoqing hung up the phone, his mood changing unpredictably.

Don’t think he didn’t know what Gu Xiaoxi had been up to in D State.

Now, the major entertainment headlines in D State were reporting on this news: a duke was seen at the airport, personally seeing off Angella Jo. Angella Jo’s identity was secretive, but the duke had admitted that she was the woman he loved the most.

Even though the newspapers only showed a side profile of a young girl, he recognized at a glance that the person was Gu Xiaoxi.

So that was great, not only did she run off to race cars, she also dared to attract love interests, giving him a rival.

Gu Xiaoxi knew nothing of these matters and was only thinking about how to make up an excuse to get past Quan Shaoqing’s questioning.

After her bath, Gu Xiaoxi changed into a casual pair of long pants and a short sleeve shirt, as sunny, pure, and cute as ever! No one would guess that she was Mr. Xiao X, the shining star of the racing world back in D State.
