Mo Zhu frowned slightly and looked coldly at the off-road vehicle behind her. A hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes. She turned her head and asked Huo Xuan in a low voice, “Someone seems to be tailing us. How should we deal with it?”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan waved his hand with a look of understanding. “They’re all a bunch of unpresentable things. They can’t cause any trouble. Don’t worry about them.”

After saying this, seeing the hint of fatigue on the girl’s face, Huo Xuan raised his hand and ruffled Mo Zhu’s hair. He added softly, “You must be tired from completing the papers the entire morning. It will still take some time to reach the hotel. Close your eyes and rest for a while. Don’t worry, I’m here.”

With Huo Xuan’s words, Mo Zhu leaned lazily against the back of the chair and closed her eyes obediently. This was Country N in Southeast Asia, and Huo Xuan was more familiar with this place than her. Since he had said so, he was naturally confident in protecting her safety. Thinking of this, Mo Zhu stopped worrying about these things and fell asleep with her thoughts dispersing off.

The afternoon passed very quickly. After dinner, Huo Xuan brought Mo Zhu around quite a number of famous scenic spots in Country N. Although there were still some people with ill intentions following behind them, before they could take action most of them were cleanly dealt with by Huo Xuan’s subordinates who had been quietly lying in ambush in the dark.

The sky gradually darkened. As evening approached, Mo Zhu received the location of the gathering from Li Xiao.

Huo Xuan leaned over and looked at the hotel location that the teachers had booked. He held Mo Zhu’s hand and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect the teachers from Beijing to have good taste. This hotel is ranked quite high on the list of gourmet restaurants in Country N.”

When Huo Xuan found out from Mo Zhu that they were going to have a gathering tonight, he had originally thought that a teacher from Jingyang High School was going to bring these ten participating students to have a meal. He had even wanted to recommend a few small restaurants with Country N’s specialty dishes to everyone. He didn’t expect that the teacher-in-charge from Beijing would invite all the students to a gathering. Huo Xuan didn’t know much about the situation at the schools in Beijing, so he gave up on the idea of recommending a hotel.

According to the location Li Xiao had given him, Huo Xuan quickly sent Mo Zhu to the hotel.

At this moment, Mo Qi happened to call and say that there was something he needed to attend. Seeing that Mo Zhu should be socializing for a while for this meal, he simply told the girl that he would pick her up after her celebration ended and drove straight out of the hotel.

After Huo Xuan left, Mo Zhu walked towards the entrance of the hotel. A waiter was already waiting at the entrance. After asking for her private room number, the waiter walked in front and led Mo Zhu to the private room.

The hotel was booked by Luo Nan. The overall decoration of this hotel was simple and elegant. From the revolving door at the entrance, it looked very elegant and had an ancient charm. Not only were the overall decorations in the hotel made of high-end wood, but even the walls and corners everywhere were filled with rare screensï1⁄4Œ expensive calligraphy and paintings that were bought at high prices.

The signature of this hotel integrating the specialties of Country Z with the classic dishes of Country N and developing delicacies that exceeded the national boundaries. It was precisely because of this that Luo Nan chose this hotel after planning for the entire afternoon.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Mo Zhu quickly arrived at the door of the private room. She pushed the door open forcefully and walked in. Unexpectedly, before she could see the structure and decorations of the private room, a mocking voice came from beside her.

“Hmph, she deliberately came so late and made everyone wait for her. How shameless!”

Her tone was filled with disdain that could not be ignored. When Mo Zhu heard this, she looked up and realized that the person standing near the door of the private room was Kang Wan.

That’s right. This girl had always been a worrisome person. She did not get into a conflict with her during the training in Beijing, causing Mo Zhu to forget about her existence in this competition.
