So Prince Tuluk's bodyguards were both surprised and suspicious. The assassin was still aiming and shooting, and they had no way to retaliate.
The bodyguards found it hard to believe, but they couldn't explain it. Based on their experience and the direction of the bullet holes, the only place they could find was a small hill three kilometers away.
Although the bodyguards couldn't believe it, Zhou Xuan understood. However, Zhou Xuan didn't understand sniping experience and techniques, so he had no impression of distances of several thousand meters or even tens of meters, nor did he understand how difficult that would be. But he detected an abnormal energy on the bullets that came in through the glass window. Although it was relatively weak, that energy allowed the bullets to penetrate more strongly and travel farther.
Just like Zhou Xuan used his superpower to optimize the physical functions of the elderly and others, his superpower can strengthen and reinforce other physical functions.
After Zhou Xuan calmed down, he heard Prince Tuluk shout angrily, and a bodyguard quickly took out his phone to give orders.
Zhou Xuan was terrified when he saw Yi Xin, hiding under a table and trembling. He quickly called out to her, "Miss Yi, please translate this quickly. Just say the assassin is on the small hill opposite the big window."
Although Yi Xin was scared, she still hurriedly translated Zhou Xuan's words into Arabic.
Tuluk angrily gave the order. A few minutes later, the tense sense of danger in Zhou Xuan's mind suddenly disappeared, and his body relaxed. He immediately realized that the assassin had retreated.
Zhou Xuan took a breath and then stood up against the wall. He looked carefully at the small hill outside the window. It was too far away. Although his eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, he could not see anything unusual or anyone.
When Tuluk's bodyguards saw Zhou Xuan boldly stand up and stand by the glass window, they were all startled. This guy was too daring, he was the worst kind of guy. But when they saw that no more bullets were being fired, they quickly jumped up and the group quickly drew the curtains to block the view.
Prince Tuluk, enraged, unleashed a torrent of curses, then pointed at Zhou Xuan, Wei Xiaoyu, and Yi Xin, saying, "You, come with me."
Yi Xin quickly translated for Zhou Xuan. Ladi was Tuluk's assistant. He was also flustered by what happened, but now that the crisis was obviously over, he quickly got up and started giving instructions while closely following Tuluk.
The group entered the inner room. The villa had a basement. From the inner room to the basement, Ladi turned on the light. Prince Tuluk sat down on the sofa in the basement, fuming. He first glared at the two bodyguards and Ladi who had followed him in, and cursed them as "useless." Then, when he faced Zhou Xuan, his expression softened considerably.
Without a doubt, Zhou Xuan saved his life. It's just unclear how Zhou Xuan knew someone wanted to kill him. Was Zhou Xuan with the assassin? Was this all just a charade?
However, Tuluk felt it was unlikely. If Zhou Xuan wanted to put on an act in front of him, what benefit would he get? Did he want his reward?
Tuluk immediately dismissed the idea after just one thought. The charade in front of him was simply a ploy to get a large sum of money. But Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu were Wei Haihong's relatives; how could the Wei family be short of money? Even if he offered more, it wouldn't be more than Wei Haihong had given. These two couldn't possibly be acting for money. But if it wasn't for money, how would this young man know when the gunman fired?
And it was so timely, just in time to push him away and then shoot. It's impossible for it to be such a coincidence... Let's try to find out what these two people have to say first. Tuluk put on a smile and said to Zhou Xuan, "Mr. Wang, thank you for saving my life today. Hehe, but I'd like to know, how did you know about the assassin?"
Yi Xin quickly translated for Prince Tuluk.
Zhou Xuan knew that the prince would have such thoughts, and he himself would have thought the same way. Saving someone just seconds before the assassin fired would make anyone suspicious.
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yi, please explain to Prince Tuluk. First of all, I want to say that this was quite a coincidence. I happened to see a reflection from the hill opposite the window. It must have been the reflection from the scope lens. I instinctively tackled the prince, and then the gun went off."
Yi Xin translated what Zhou Xuan said, but Tuluk's squinting expression clearly showed that he did not believe it.
Zhou Xuan added casually, "I've practiced Wudang's internal martial arts since I was a child, so my eyesight and hand dexterity are much stronger than the average person's. It's normal for my reactions to be faster. Just you wait and see."
As Zhou Xuan spoke, he suddenly punched the wall. There was no sound, but his fist sank deep into the wall.
This left Tuluk, Ladi, his bodyguard, and Yi Xin completely stunned.
Prince Tuluk's villa was almost entirely constructed of reinforced concrete. Even with a sledgehammer, it would be impossible to break a hole in the basement walls. Yet Zhou Xuan, with just one punch—his bare fist—had punched a deep hole in this concrete wall. How incredible!
After a moment of stunned silence, Yi Xin quickly translated Zhou Xuan's words to Tuluk.
Tuluk suddenly realized that Wang Feng was a mysterious martial arts master. That explained why Wang Feng had saved him in the crisis. He had never seen such a master before. He had many capable people under his command—combat, demolition, sniping, assassination—but none as terrifying as Wang Feng.
Is the force of that punch something a person could accomplish? Even a machine couldn't generate that much power in an instant, could it?
With just one punch, Zhou Xuan completely subdued Tuluk. In that instant, Tuluk's opinion of Zhou Xuan changed entirely.
Tuluk paused for a moment, then suddenly stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after a while said to Yi Xin, "Yi, please translate what I said to Mr. Wang. I would like to ask Mr. Wang to be my personal bodyguard. I wonder if he would be willing?"
Yi Xin paused for a moment, then quickly explained Tuluk's meaning to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan thought for a moment, then looked at Wei Xiaoyu. He thought that since they had come to this unfamiliar environment, they should adapt to life here. Prince Tuluk was the best support. If they could build a good relationship with him, they could at least ensure their safety and Xiaoyu's safety. It was also a way to find a job that could support the two of them.
Thinking of the loving moments he shared with Xiaoyu these past few days, Zhou Xuan only thought about making Xiaoyu happy and content. To live a good life, at least she needed a substantial source of income, which was something he, as a man, should do.
Seeing Zhou Xuan hesitate, Tuluk quickly offered his temptation again, "Mr. Wang, I'll give you an annual salary of two million US dollars, all expenses on the house, and there will be additional rewards for each operation."
Zhou Xuan didn't have much of an opinion on the reward, but if he agreed to Tuluk's offer, he would probably have to travel around with him all year round, and then he wouldn't have a chance to spend time with Xiaoyu.
At that moment, Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu were experiencing the sweet taste of love, so close they were inseparable that they didn't want to be apart for even a minute.
Seeing Zhou Xuan still hesitating, Tuluk assumed he thought the pay was too low. As a relative of Wei Haihong, and given the Wei family's status, they were certainly not short of money. Two million US dollars a year was an unimaginable dream for ordinary people, but for Wei Haihong's family, it was nothing more than pocket money.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Wang, why don't you name your price? How much salary do you need? I'll consider it."
Judging from today's events, Tuluk had received intelligence a few days ago that his political and business rivals would retaliate against him. At the time, he thought it was a bit of an overreaction. His own guard was considered one of the strongest in the country, second only to the guards of his brother, King Muhammad VI. But today's assassination attempt made Tuluk realize that his guard was simply not enough. In the face of a more powerful assassin, his manpower was like paper. If it weren't for Wang Feng's presence today, the assassin could have killed him with ease.
Zhou Xuan simply looked at Wei Xiaoyu, his eyes filled with affection, then turned to Tuluk and said, "Mr. Tuluk, let me put it this way. As you know, we came here seeking refuge, we're escaping. You helped us, and I'm very grateful. So I won't hide anything from you now. To be honest, if the Prince needs my help, I'll do my duty without hesitation. But being the Prince's bodyguard is very difficult for me. I don't want to be separated from my wife; I'm worried about her and unwilling to do so. As for the salary the Prince has offered, I have no objection, not because I think it's too little."
Tuluk suddenly realized what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly smiled and said, "If that's the problem, then there's no problem at all, Mr. Wang. How about this: if I need you to accompany me to various parts of the world to handle business matters, I'll have your wife, Miss Li, go with you. In return, I'll pay Miss Li an annual salary of one million US dollars. How does that sound?"
Zhou Xuan was secretly pleased, thinking that this Prince Tuluk understood his meaning. If that was the case, they could discuss it. He then looked at Wei Xiaoyu and saw that she was also smiling and nodding slightly.
Hearing Zhou Xuan's heartfelt words, even spoken in front of someone like Prince Tuluk, that he didn't care about anything else but his reason for not wanting to be separated from her, she was deeply moved. She was also very satisfied when she heard Yi Xin translate the conditions Prince Tuluk had stated.
Wei Xiaoyu is a highly skilled military elite. She is to accompany Zhou Xuan to protect Prince Tuluk's safety. After seeing Prince Tuluk's bodyguards, she is equally capable of doing the job. Contrary to what others think, she is not just a pretty face.
Wei Xiaoyu nodded, then smiled and said to Tuluk, "Prince Tuluk, what I want to tell you is that it's not unfair for you to give me an annual salary of one million US dollars. How about I test my skills against the prince's bodyguard?"
Tuluk was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Oh, beautiful Miss Li, you also know... Eastern martial arts?"
Wei Xiaoyu smiled sweetly and gestured to Tuluk's bodyguard to invite him in.
The two bodyguards glanced at Tuluk. Tuluk naturally didn't believe that this beautiful woman had any real skills, but for Zhou Xuan's sake, he naturally had to put on an act with her and give her some leeway. It would be better if Zhou Xuan was happy. Now he was worried about his own safety. What use was money or status if he became a dead man?
One of the bodyguards saw Tuluk gesture and immediately understood his meaning. He quickly smiled and said to Wei Xiaoyu, "Miss Li, please."
Yi Xin was quite surprised. While translating, she kept an eye on Wei Xiaoyu. It would be inappropriate for such a beautiful person to resort to violence. However, she also knew that no matter how good a girl was at fighting, it was all just fancy footwork.
Wei Xiaoyu noticed that the bodyguard looked down on her. Of course, he wasn't mocking her, but rather doing as Tuluk instructed, letting her put on an act.
