Chapter 2: The Mysterious Beauty (Part 2)

  "It seems that the ace of the National Security Bureau is not simple at all!" Zhang Fan shook his head, stretched his muscles, and remained vigilant. Being able to reach this place was already a master among masters in his opinion, but this master had also disappeared! Was there an even more dangerous situation behind?

  "Finally!" As he continued on for a stretch of road, turned a corner, and a small wooden hut made from an original cedar log finally came into view.

  Could it be that this unassuming little cottage hides some extraordinary secret? As he muttered to himself, Zhang Fan put his feet down from the snowboard and took a deep breath. With a sudden burst of energy, he pushed off from the board and swooped towards the small wooden cottage over ten meters away like a large bird. ——His feet were bound to the snowboard, after all, not very agile.

  Only a figure flashed twice, and two very shallow footprints were left on the snowy ground. Zhang Fan had already arrived in front of the wooden house.

  If there were any martial artists present, they would definitely exclaim in admiration! Zhang Fan's movement was clearly the long-lost Light Body Skill! And with one breath, he leaped out over ten meters, only lightly tapping his feet on the snowy ground twice along the way, a truly masterful display. That kind of "leaving no footprints in the snow" lightness is probably something that only exists in legend; at least Zhang Fan knew that with his own body, it was forever impossible to reach that level.

  The door of the hut was locked, and thick snow piled up on the glass window, making it impossible to see what was inside.

  This situation made Zhang Fan frown. If there was someone in the small house, as long as he had a way to see outside, his actions would probably not escape the other person's eyes. However, he soon relaxed, no matter what, he had already arrived here, could he still shrink back at this point?

  Although the door was locked, this kind of lock that can be seen everywhere would certainly not stop him. It only took a quarter of a second for Zhang Fan to open it.

  After opening the door, Zhang Fan didn't immediately go in, but instead dodged to the side. This way, even if there was someone inside, they wouldn't be able to launch an attack on him right away.

  But his worries were clearly unnecessary. ——After waiting for about half a minute without any reaction, Zhang Fan carefully removed his goggles and stretched out the door, then reflexively looked around. The room was small, almost transparent at a glance.

  There was a bed, a table, two rocking chairs, and a fireplace in the room. Next to the fireplace, there was even a pile of neatly stacked firewood. In the corner of the room, Zhang Fan also saw a pot and a large piece of dried meat casually placed there.

  This small house has almost everything except people.

  He put his mind at ease and walked in directly, still secretly laughing at himself for being overly cautious. —— In such a treacherous environment, even if there were enemies, they should have left long ago; who would be guarding here all the time?

  However, after taking a look around, he couldn't help but have some doubts again. This room was obviously prepared for long-term living. As long as there was enough food, the things inside could even allow people to stay until spring arrived. Of course, considering the altitude here, whether flowers would bloom when spring came was still an unknown number.

  It's obvious that even if it was the trump card from last time, it wouldn't be possible to make such preparations. He had originally just stumbled upon this place by chance, how could he possibly have made such sufficient preparations?

  Here, there must be its own master! —— At least it's that kind of place where people come to check in regularly.

  "Never mind, let's first see what clues were left behind!" Zhang Fan carefully restored the door to its original state and began a meticulous search. If the previous national security agent had left voluntarily, he should have left some special marks. And if he was forcibly taken away or even harmed, there should be some signs of it.

  Just because he can get here, his skills must be impressive. Wanting to quietly take him away without anyone noticing is an impossible task.

  ————————————

  Half an hour later, Zhang Fan had to stop. The room was not big, and the places where he could make marks or leave traces without being noticed were really limited, but Zhang Fan had checked almost every place at least three times.

  Nothing. There is nothing.

  The situation in the room clearly indicated that even if someone had come recently, no traces were left behind. If Zhang Fan hadn't received accurate intelligence from the national security system, he would have thought he came to the wrong place.

  "It seems that either the other party is extremely powerful, leaving no room for the ace to even fight back, or the other party is simply too skilled, handling everything perfectly and leaving no clues behind!" Zhang Fan scratched his hair and lay down on the bed directly.

  Is the clue really cut off like this? Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. But according to the current situation, unless the other party himself makes a mistake, there is really no way for him to find him.

  "What to do?" After thinking for half a day, Zhang Fan still couldn't think of any solution. Could it be that his undefeated record was going to end just like this? This was something he absolutely did not want to see happen.

  "Knock knock knock", just then, a sudden knocking sound came from outside the door!

  Zhang Fan was shocked and jumped up! He had just arrived, but his trail was discovered by someone else. How could the other party be so formidable?

  He tried his best to tread lightly, quietly approaching the door - Zhang Fan was very confident in his lightness skill, if he intentionally treaded lightly, his footsteps would not be much heavier than a cat's.

  "Knock, knock, knock", the knocking sound grew urgent, on the thick wooden door, causing a dull echo, as if the knocker's mood was very anxious.

  Zhang Fan still didn't make a sound. The wooden door had already returned to its original state when he came in, and the snowboard was more than ten meters away, so the person knocking on the door couldn't be sure if anyone was inside. In this situation, it's better to err on the side of caution. After all, now is a time of crisis, with hidden enemies and unclear situations.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The knocking on the door had turned into pounding, it seemed that the other person's mood was indeed very impatient! However, this also made Zhang Fan feel very strange, since they were pounding so fiercely, why not just shout out a question?

  "Bang!" A loud noise, and the other party had already burst in!

  It's clear that the other party didn't have as many concerns as Zhang Fan, and the method of breaking in was much more violent, directly smashing the lock and rushing in!

  Zhang Fan almost instinctively reacted, his hands formed a knife-like shape and he chopped down at the neck of the figure that had rushed into the room. He was very clear about his own strength, if this blow landed, even the strongest person would be stunned for several seconds - for a master, several seconds could often decide a person's life or death.

  Unfortunately, the other party did not become dizzy. At the moment when he was about to chop down - Zhang Fan could even feel the thick ski suit under his hands had already begun to slightly deform - the other party suddenly turned his head!

  She is a woman!

  Although the other party was wearing a hat that completely covered his head, making it impossible to see his face, those blue eyes and pupils seemed to be able to seep out water-like charm, which made Zhang Fan judge his gender in the first time and withdrew his hand. ——Zhang Fan was not very old, but he had already accumulated quite a lot of experience in certain aspects. Judging the gender for him was simply child's play.

  Zhang Fan was not a pedantic person, nor did he have any taboos like "not hitting women", but to hit a woman so heavily without reason was something he could never do. If this palm really chopped on the opponent's slender neck, it would likely cause a fracture of the cervical vertebrae.

  He stood still, his whole body still in a state of high alert, standing in front of the other party, waiting for them to speak first.

  But this person just stared at Zhang Fan, motionless, with an even more enchanting glint in his eyes. Especially after getting a clear look at Zhang Fan's appearance and figure, a layer of misty pink actually appeared in his eyes!

  Zhang Fan waited for a moment, and had completely calmed down. Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken yet, he wasn't in a hurry either, but slowly walked to the person's back, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Who are you?"

  Of course, the door lock was already broken and couldn't be closed tightly. But Zhang Fan casually picked up a wooden stick and propped it firmly against the door. This way, whether the other person wanted to escape or someone else wanted to come in, they would have to make some effort. —— As for whether he could handle being alone in a room with a woman, he didn't even consider it: In many cases, Zhang Fan's subconscious was very masculine.

  It was precisely because of this that Xiaoxue could make him obey her every command.

  Seeing that the other party still didn't show any expression, Zhang Fan directly sat down on a rocking chair in the room and even shook it twice, making a "creaking" sound. He looked very relaxed as he asked: "Who are you? What brings you here?"

  The first sentence was asked in French, this one is in German. Both languages are official languages of Switzerland.

  Seeing the other party still not responding, Zhang Fan couldn't help but frown slightly and asked again in English. Moreover, after asking, he added a sentence: "If you still refuse to answer, I will have no choice but to take some impolite actions against you - you know, being rough with a lady is very regrettable in my opinion."

  "Are you okay?" Upon hearing his words, the other party finally reacted. As soon as that person spoke, Zhang Fan couldn't help but take a breath - it was actually a sweet and soft voice that made one's heart drunk!

  Although only two words, they made Zhang Fan stunned for a moment. In his many years of life, as a man who is not bad-looking and whose life is not very decent, he has had countless opportunities to come into contact with women. However, he never thought that a woman could make such a moving sound!

  The room was originally quite cold - in order not to attract attention with the smoke produced by the fireplace, Zhang Fan had not lit a fire all along. However, at this moment he had a fiery feeling that spread throughout his body, causing him to take a deep breath involuntarily.

  Although the other person's voice was so moving and Zhang Fan himself admitted that he was very fascinated, but he still remained calm.

  He stood up, walked to the fireplace and started making a fire with tools on one side. - Since someone has already been able to find this place, it's no use hiding anymore. Rather than freezing like this, it's better to warm up. And doing something can also distract oneself.

  But what the girl said next made him almost drop the firewood in his hands!
