Xia Chuyi had planned a movie outing with Ou Jun and Xiao Jingqi, but when they were unable to attend, she decided to go alone, sending her "Youwei" friends away for their safety. Unbeknownst to her, Huang Xiaoyun, seeing Xia Pan's disappointment, decides to take her and others to the cinema to try and get tickets. Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi arrives at the cinema with bodyguards, instructing them to wait outside.

"I understand my father’s intentions." Xia Chuyi responded to the head bodyguard with a slight smile, assuring him, "Rest assured, with the event happening today and the existing security personnel, nothing untoward will occur."

"Furthermore, I cannot possibly permit all of you to enter without tickets, can I?" Xia Chuyi added, emphasizing, "A cinema needs to conduct its business, after all."

The head bodyguard exhibited increased hesitation upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words.

However, Xia Chuyi let out another light laugh and reassured him, "You truly do not need to be concerned; the security within is exceptionally robust."

"If you remain unconvinced, you are welcome to inspect their security capabilities firsthand within the premises," Xia Chuyi calmly advised the head bodyguard.

This suggestion prompted the head bodyguard to pause, consider, and subsequently dispatch a subordinate to conduct the requested verification.

Moments later, the subordinate returned with a report: "Captain, the security is indeed exceptionally stringent; they are all retired comrades from our unit."

Receiving this affirmative report, the bodyguard captain finally conceded to Xia Chuyi’s arrangement.

Nevertheless, the bodyguard captain proceeded to deploy his men in a defensive perimeter around the cinema.

Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi deftly evaded her bodyguards and proceeded directly into the cinema.

Upon her entry, the cinematic presentation commenced shortly thereafter.

This particular film was one that Xia Chuyi had already experienced in her previous existence.

Consequently, as she occupied the most advantageous seat for viewing, Xia Chuyi’s focus was entirely diverted from the unfolding on the screen.

Instead, Xia Chuyi was subtly surveying the surrounding environment.

The entirety of the cinema was nearly at full capacity, with the sole exception being the seat adjacent to Xia Chuyi—a seat designated for the arrival of "Youwei."

Moreover, an atmosphere of palpable excitement permeated the faces of everyone present in the theater.

It remained ambiguous whether this fervor was directed toward the film itself or the anticipated event that would follow its conclusion.

After a thorough observation of the current situation, Xia Chuyi mused: Given that Guo Jiumin had expressed a desire to meet, yet without specifying a precise rendezvous point.

Xia Chuyi deduced that her counterpart would likely initiate contact within the confines of the cinema.

Both Guo Jiumin and Xia Chuyi shared a common objective: to minimize the number of witnesses to their encounter.

This discretion was necessitated by the highly confidential nature of the subject matter they intended to discuss.

Precisely as Xia Chuyi had foreseen, individuals dispatched by Guo Jiumin arrived without delay.

"Young Madam Huo, my master has sent me to escort you," the envoy stated respectfully to Xia Chuyi, making an effort to remain inconspicuous.

Xia Chuyi lifted her gaze, assessed the messenger, and inquired icily, "Your master? Pray tell, who is your master? And why has he not deigned to come himself?"

Xia Chuyi deliberately adopted a stern tone.

Her intention was to probe for any obtainable information from the individual before her.

Confronted with Xia Chuyi’s sharp interrogation, the appointed messenger exhibited a moment of clear hesitation.

"Well... our master, Young Madam Huo, you are acquainted with him, are you not?" After a brief deliberation, the messenger responded, "Our master conveyed that he wished to apprise you of Mr. Huo’s recent mission execution status at the border."

Upon hearing this revelation, Xia Chuyi’s demeanor shifted, her aura chilling perceptibly, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

Could it be that Huo Shiqian's border mission was, in fact, intricately linked to Guo Jiumin?

Xia Chuyi subtly tightened her lips.

"Oh, is that so?" After a short interval, Xia Chuyi closed her eyes, drew a steadying breath, and regained an outward composure, stating calmly, "Very well, I shall accompany you then."

Regardless of the veracity of the messenger’s statement, Xia Chuyi recognized the necessity of accepting this summons.

However, before departing with the messenger, Xia Chuyi first needed to address the matter of her own security detail.
