Maggie Chang stood up, her eyes wide with astonishment as she looked over her own body. Her emotions were a tangled mix of excitement and confusion. But she knew Shawn Young was facing a serious problem, so she quickly asked, "Shawn, with your current situation, what are you planning to do next?"
Shawn Young thought for a moment and said, "Uh—I'm not sure yet, but I really need to figure out exactly what's going on with me!"
"Who are you planning to ask about it?" Minnie Wang asked curiously.
"Oh—I'm going to ask one of the senior members at our bureau. I'm planning to go see him right away!" Shawn Young thought of the Dragon King or Tiger Lord from the National Paranormal Task Force—they should be able to figure out what's happening inside his body.
"Right, it's morning now, so there's no time to waste. You really can't afford to delay with your situation—you need to find a solution fast, for everyone's sake, and for your own good!" Minnie Wang glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already past seven in the morning. She knew things weren't looking good, so she was all for Shawn handling this immediately. After all, she didn't want the next time she got intimate with him to end in disaster!
Shawn Young nodded, got dressed, and left the room with Minnie Wang and Maggie Chang. Together, they headed downstairs and stepped outside the villa.
Outside, the sky was already bright, with streaks of morning clouds painting the horizon red. A fresh breeze swept over them, lifting their spirits. Shawn turned to the two women and said, "Alright, I'm heading back to the bureau now. Plus, there's the issue with Xiaowu—I need to get to Hong Kong as soon as possible to find that Japanese guy, Daniel Feathercloud, and sort this out. As for Maggie's family matters, I'll arrange for someone to handle it!"
"Don't worry! With me around, Maggie's problems are my problems too. I'll help her out! You just go handle your own stuff, and when you're done, come back to us—" Minnie Wang said understandingly.
"Yeah, Shawn, you take care of your own things first! Your health comes first, after all—" Maggie Chang said, her cheeks flushed.
Hehe—not a chance! You're just going to have to wait!" Maggie giggled, refusing to compromise.
Just then, Minnie Wang pulled up in her silver Lamborghini, rolled down the window, opened the door, and waved at them, "Come on, get in!"
Maggie stuck out her cute tongue at Shawn, then hurried to the car and hopped into the front passenger seat. Shawn could only shrug helplessly and climb into the back. He pulled out his phone and dialed the National Paranormal Task Force's internal number that Xun Xiangxiang had given him.
The call quickly connected, and Xun Xiangxiang's sweet, slightly teasing voice came through: "Hello—Shawn? What's up so early? Aren't you busy charming your ladies? Finally remembered me, huh?"
Hey—Xiangxiang, here's the deal, I've got an emergency. I need to talk to Dragon King. Do you know where he is?" Shawn asked, straight to the point.
Hmm? Dragon King isn't in the country right now. Tiger Lord is handling things domestically, and he's at the Southern Military District. If it's urgent, you can talk to Tiger Lord! Where are you now?" Xiangxiang picked up on Shawn's urgency and dropped the jokes.
I'm in Nanming City—" Shawn replied quickly.
Haha—I'll be heading to the Southern Military District soon. You can wait for me at Diamond Plaza downtown, and I'll swing by to pick you up!" Xiangxiang said.
Alright, thanks! I'll head to Diamond Plaza right now—" Shawn said, hung up, then turned to Minnie. "Minnie, take me to Diamond Plaza downtown."
Okay—no problem—" Minnie replied, fired up the car, and floored the gas. The sports car shot off toward downtown, and in just a few minutes, they were outside Diamond Plaza.
It was still early, but Diamond Plaza was already buzzing with cars and commuters. The moment Shawn stepped out, scanning the sea of people, he heard Xun Xiangxiang's voice beside him: "Quit searching, I'm right here!"
Shawn turned and spotted a blue Audi parked by the curb, with Xun Xiangxiang grinning and waving at him. He was stunned—she'd beaten them here.
Shawn, Maggie and I are heading to Westwood City to take care of her stuff. You go handle your business! Don't forget to call us when you're done—bye-bye!" Minnie said with a cheerful wave.
Yeah, don't worry, I will—" Shawn replied quickly.
Shawn! Safe travels, okay? Maggie and I will be waiting for you to come back—" Maggie called out, her cheeks flushed as she winked at him with a mischievous smile. She waved, and Minnie started the car, driving away from Diamond Plaza.
Sigh—who knows how long I'll be stuck in Hong Kong this time? When will I see them again?" Shawn watched the two leave, lingering for a moment before turning to get into Xun Xiangxiang's car.
I'm in Nanming City—" Shawn replied quickly.
Haha—I'll be heading to the Southern Military District soon. You can wait for me at Diamond Plaza downtown, and I'll pick you up!" Xiangxiang said.
Alright, thanks! I'll head to Diamond Plaza right now—" Shawn said, hung up, then told Minnie, "Minnie, take me to Diamond Plaza downtown."
Okay—no problem—" Minnie replied, started the car, and floored the gas. The sports car shot off toward downtown, and within minutes, they arrived outside Diamond Plaza.
It was still early morning, but Diamond Plaza was already bustling with cars and commuters. As soon as Shawn got out, searching the crowd, he heard Xun Xiangxiang's voice beside him: "Stop looking, I'm right here!"
Shawn turned and saw a blue Audi parked by the curb, with Xun Xiangxiang grinning and waving at him. Shawn was surprised—she'd arrived even faster than they did.
Shawn, Maggie and I are heading to Westwood City to take care of her stuff. You go do your thing! Remember to call us when you're done—bye-bye!" Minnie said to Shawn.
Yeah, don't worry, I will—" Shawn replied quickly.
Shawn! Safe travels, okay? Maggie and I will be waiting for you to come back—" Maggie said, her cheeks flushed as she winked at him with a suggestive smile. She waved, and then Minnie started the car and drove away from Diamond Plaza.
Sigh—I wonder how long I'll be in Hong Kong this time! Who knows when I'll see them again?" Shawn watched the two leave with longing, then turned and got into Xun Xiangxiang's car.
