I don't mind fighting alone

Lu Xuege: "It's impossible. These are the results tracked by my self-developed search engine. In the entire B city, it appeared like every Xie Xuan was an old man, and this one appears to be the youngest among them."

Lu Haiqiao: "…"

A search engine developed by himself?

Searching for what?

Searching for old men?

Although Lu Xuege usually appeared frivolous, she had great trust in his abilities.

Especially in computer networking.

This guy has been tinkering with computers since elementary school and even neglected his studies due to his obsession with the online world, but fortunately, he was brought back on track by Lu Haiqiao's uncle.

Perhaps it was his past mistakes that made him extremely cautious when handling computers again.

It must be said that he was talented, especially in this field; he could be called a genius.

When it came to information gathering, he had never made a mistake.

But this time…

She glanced at the absurd picture of the old man on her phone screen and narrowed her eyes.

There were only two possibilities for a person to not have any information on the Internet.

Either they were extremely obscure, to the point where they didn't leave any traces online.

Or they were extremely skilled, to the point where they needed layers of protection to keep their identity hidden.

So, Xie Xuan, which one are you?

…

It happened to be a holiday on the day of the art exhibition.

Lu Haiqiao received a call from Lu Yunge in the morning.

"Haiqiao, today is a holiday. Do you want to go out for some fun?"

She was just about to head out, "Sure, I could use a companion."

Lu Yunge's interest was piqued. "Team battle?"

"Something like that. With you around, it's a team; without you, I don't mind fighting alone," she replied casually.

"Going solo is no fun at all," he said, "I'll come over now. See you later."

…

An hour later, he arrived near a styling studio.

He parked the car by the roadside, and as he turned his head, he happened to see Lu Haiqiao coming out of the entrance.

Lu Yunge thought he might be seeing things and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

She was dressed in a champagne-colored strapless gown, with her smooth long hair casually yet neatly tied up. The diamond earrings on her ears sparkled delicately in the bright sunlight.

He lowered his head to look at his casual outfit. "Are you… going to accept an award?"

Dressed so elegantly, it wasn't for a car race.

She walked over gracefully in her high heels that matched the same color. "I'm going to an art exhibition at the art center."

"Art exhibition?" He frowned.

He had no interest in art whatsoever. If he had known she was going to an art exhibition, he wouldn't have come.

"Boring. I'm not going, but I'll drop you off at the entrance, and you can go in yourself. Call me when it's almost over, and I'll come pick you up." Despite his lack of interest, he was willing to act as her driver.

That would work.

She got into his flashy red sports car.

During the journey, he casually asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in going to an art exhibition? Is it work-related?"

She glanced out the window at the rapidly receding scenery. "It's an art exhibition organized by the Xie family. I think it should be quite interesting."

He frowned slightly. "Which Xie family?"

She turned her head and looked at him strangely. "Is there any other Xie family in B City that could catch my interest?"

His expression darkened. "Which art center is the exhibition held at?"

"Double X Art Center." Earlier, she had only mentioned the address without specifying the name of the venue.
