Li San noticed sothing off, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and disdainfully tossed the earbuds onto the table, "Hand."
"What hand?" Nan Xin was montarily caught off guard and instinctively craned her neck to look in the direction of Xiao Yehui and Margaret.
Li San pursed his lips in displeasure and pulled her hand over, gripping it tightly, "With a woman like Xi Luo, if her friend were a little white rabbit, she’d be dead by now. Have you seen a little white rabbit carrying a listening device?"
Nan Xin looked speechlessly at Li San, her gaze falling on his hand as she tugged it back, "Let go, it’s hot."
"Save the audio and send it to Qiaoqiao as soon as possible."
Nan Xin tried several tis but couldn’t pull her hand back, so she furrowed her brows and pinched the back of his hand hard, "I need to use the computer, let go."
Li San winced in pain, squinted at Nan Xin with his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, "Who taught you to hit people every day?"
If it weren’t for Nan Xin’s itchy fingers, his chest wouldn’t have three red marks from her scratches.
Even though they hadn’t taken the last step yet, this woman was already marking him.
Nan Xin pouted, "Who told you to be dishonest."
As soon as she withdrew her hand, Li San licked the corner of his mouth and squinted with a dangerous tone, "Seems I’ve spoiled you, is ’dishonest’ a term suitable for ?"
Nan Xin was slightly astonished, "When did you ever spoil ?"
Li San rolled his Adam’s apple and was about to deliver a flirtatious line when a voice ca from the connection of the River Valley Corridor and the pavilion, "Brother Cheng, what a coincidence."
Nan Xin looked up, her gaze indifferent.
Li San’s expression remained the sa as he took a drag from his cigarette, "I don’t deserve to be called brother by the Duke."
Xiao Yehui wasn’t annoyed by his coldness and kept his signature smile, "Seems I’ve disturbed you both."
His gaze subtly swept over Nan Xin’s computer, his expression aningful.
Margaret looked around and interjected at the right mont, "Friend?"
Xiao Yehui smiled warmly, "No."
"Oh." Margaret made a show of turning around, "Then let’s go. If he’s not a friend, why call him brother? I thought you two were close, it’s so hot, why is it so hot in Myanmar."
Xiao Yehui looked deeply at Margaret, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Margaret seed oblivious, fanning herself as she walked back, "Hot, hot, so hot."
Xiao Yehui squinted, glanced at Li San again, nodded in acknowledgnt, and then turned to leave the pavilion.
Even without any response, he remained calm.
Nan Xin collected herself, deliberately saying, "I like this princess."
Li San squeezed her fingers with a half-smile, "She doesn’t like you."
"You’re no fun." Nan Xin resentfully closed the laptop, glancing at Li San, "Don’t you think her acting is good?"
Li San sucked on his cheek, "If even you can tell she’s acting, do you think Xiao Yehui can’t?"
Nan Xin’s expression froze, "Then she’s..." Is she not in danger?
"You’re worrying too much." Li San released her hand, brushing off the ash from his trousers, "Even if she’s acting, Xiao Yehui can only put up with it because she’s the Second Crown Prince’s daughter."
...
At three in the afternoon, Li Qiao and Shang Yu decided to return to the villa.
Wei Ang made a special trip to pick them up, stating that there was a gathering tonight that required their attendance.
"Dad organized it?" Li Qiao raised an eyebrow, sowhat surprised.
Since Shang Zonghai arrived in Myanmar, he rarely went out and spent most of his ti at the villa reading dical books.
But Shang Yu ntioned that he went to the airport the day before yesterday, and Li Qiao didn’t ask much.
After all, owning Prince Guo’s villa, Shang Zonghai’s status in Myanmar was already evident.
At this mont, Wei Ang pursed his lips, as if he had a secret, "Well... you’ll find out when you and the Eldest Young Master get there."
Li Qiao glanced at Shang Yu, who wrapped his arm around her, "Let’s go see."
The two got into the business car Wei Ang drove, and not far away, Luoyu hurried to the back door and knocked on the car window, "Boss, do you need to go with you?"
Shang Yu lifted his gaze, "No need, you head back to the villa first."
Luoyu agreed, watched as Wei Ang’s motorcade left the hotel, weighed the bulletproof car keys in his hand, and then opened the car door to get in.
"Luoyu, where are you going?"
From the hotel lobby, Xia Siyu’s slightly anxious voice ca through.
Luoyu stopped, turned back, "Miss Xia, is there sothing you need?"
Xia Siyu wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, "Qiaoqiao already left?"
"Yes, Madam and the Boss have matters to attend to. If Miss Xia needs them..."
Xia Siyu waved her hand quickly, "No, no, I’m looking for you, are you free?"
"Yes." Luoyu answered truthfully, then asked inexplicably, "Are you going out?"
Xia Siyu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, can you take to Orchid Heaven Pharmacy? I need to pick up sothing."
Tian Character Pharmacy?
Luoyu inexplicably found the pharmacy’s na familiar, as if he had heard it before.
Xia Siyu seed very anxious and moved to open the bulletproof car’s passenger door, "Shang Lu said Orchid Heaven Pharmacy was forrly called Orchid Pharmacy, but later changed its na. I think there’s one in Naypyidaw’s old district, do you know it?"
Luoyu nodded.
So it was the Orchid Pharmacy...
An early subsidiary of Shang’s Pharmacy, nad after "Dailan," the last word of Ming Dailan’s na.
After the two divorced, the family head renad the Orchid Pharmacy to Tian Character Pharmacy for consistency.
The two got into the car, Xia Siyu knocked on the thick car door with a fist, "Is this a bulletproof car?"
"Yes, it’s for Madam’s exclusive use in Myanmar."
Xia Siyu was taken aback, "So why didn’t she use this car when she went out?"
"The family head’s car... is also bulletproof level."
And it’s manufactured by Parma Armant Factory, specially flown in.
It has a higher safety coefficient than Madam’s car, with only the lack of privilege.
...
At five, the Yangshan Imperial Residence, located at the junction of Yangshan and the Maine River.
A full hour and a half drive from downtown Naypyidaw.
The entire Yangshan Imperial Residence consists of six imperial villas, surrounded by picturesque mountains and waters, rumored to be auspicious lands.
Li Qiao got out of the car, her steps slowed, surprised to find the gathering place was the Yangshan Imperial Residence.
Then Shang Zonghai...
"Why are you not moving?" Li Qiao felt a weight on her shoulder, and a crisp scent unique to the man entered her nostrils.
Shang Yu wrapped his arm around her shoulder, lowered himself slightly, and studied her intently.
Li Qiao smiled with curved lips, leaned closer to him, and whispered, "This is the territory of the Six Major Families of Myanmar."
The Six Major Families of Myanmar control over one-third of the country’s internal mineral and water resources.
They restrain and support each other, cleverly avoiding the scenario where one family dominates.
Li Qiao glanced at the six imperial villas in the distance, thinking that if the Mu Family had had a crisis awareness back then, perhaps they wouldn’t have been sched against for holding twenty-three mines.
Shang Yu followed Li Qiao’s gaze to the front, and then a profound smile curved his thin lips, "Have you been here before?"
Li Qiao nodded, answering without concealnt, "Uncle Wu brought and Minmin here before. He has an elder, who’s one of the Six Major Families."
