This is a life-saving treasure, I better keep it safe.
He lifted his chin slightly, displaying an expression that said ’I’m very generous’, "Forget it, I won’t squabble with you this ti."
To the side, Gu XaXinuoi Nuo held back her laughter.
He is really easy to bribe.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening ca from outside.
"Why is Achen back so early?" Gu XaXinuoi Nuo was slightly surprised. Only the four of them could co and go freely in this house, and with the three of them here, the only one left was Chu Chen, who had returned to headquarters.
Ye Jiuliang took an apple and got up to walk outside.
"You’re up this early?" The man shut the door, turned around, and upon seeing Ye Jiuliang, his dark eyes showed a hint of astonishnt.
Did the sun rise from the west today?
Ye Jiuliang bit into the apple, crunching loudly.
"Is there a problem?"
"I know why she got up so early." Gu XaXinuoi Nuo suddenly appeared, wearing a schadenfreude grin.
Both Chu Chen’s and Ji Mingqian’s puzzled gazes turned towards her, while Ye Jiuliang calmly munched on her apple as if they weren’t talking about her.
"Little Liangliang is going back to China." Gu XaXinuoi Nuo glanced at Ye Jiuliang, cleared her throat, and announced grandly.
Upon hearing this, both Chu Chen and Ji Mingqian were montarily taken aback.
"Really?" Ji Mingqian reacted, his gaze turning to the girl nibbling on the apple in surprise.
Ye Jiuliang crossed her legs and humd an affirmation.
Ji Mingqian threw his head back and laughed heartily, "The heavens have eyes, I can finally live peacefully for a few days."
Compared to his joking manner, Chu Chen was much more composed, "Why the sudden decision to go back?"
Ye Jiuliang said nothing, and Gu XaXinuoi Nuo, looking quite excited, answered for her, "I know this too."
She hopped onto the sofa and sat down. "Little Liangliang’s family patriarch heard about her great achievents at school, and in order to live a longer life himself, specially ordered her to hurry back to the country."
At that, Ji Mingqian and Chu Chen exchanged looks.
Hold it in, don’t laugh!
A cold glare swept towards the two n. Ji Mingqian coughed lightly, placing a fist to his lips, "When are you leaving then, should we escort you?"
Ye Jiuliang finished off the last bite of the apple and casually tossed it, the core landing precisely in the trash can a short distance away.
She pulled a tissue to wipe her hands, then stood up. Her eyes narrowed slightly, enticingly, "No need to escort , just rember to pay back the money you lost to at mahjong."
Gu XaXinuoi Nuo chuckled, that’s so Ye Jiuliang.
She is indeed obsessed with money.

China
That night, the crescent moon hung like a hook, and the scent of flowers drifted subtly through the air.
Mo Garden
A black sports car drove smoothly into Mo Garden, rolling over the lush green grass and slowing down.
The engine stopped, and the car ca to a halt.
The people inside the house heard the roar of the sports car, and jumped to their feet in unison. Just monts before, each had been lounging bonelessly on the sofa, but now, they stood ramrod straight.
They awaited, prid and respectful, indicating the high regard in which they held the new arrival.
Steady footsteps drew closer.
One step
Two steps...
Wei Bei and Wei Nan looked outside simultaneously.
Treading on the moonlight, the man approached slowly, his eyebrows like ink paintings, his skin as fine as mutton-fat jade, exuding a peerless nobility.
A breeze blew by, lifting the stray hairs on his forehead and revealing those abyss-like eyes, cold enough to make one shudder.
In an instant, the vast living room was filled with an oppressive aura.
"Master."
Wei Bei and Wei Nan called out in unison, their expressions respectful.
"Why isn’t Wei Dong here?"
The man’s icy voice rose softly, causing Wei Bei to shiver, and he hastily replied, "Master, the person in charge of the i Organization in Country F suddenly fell into a coma and was hospitalized. There’s total chaos within the i Organization now, and the rchandise they had promised to deliver was hijacked en route. Wei Dong stayed back to investigate the situation."
No wonder that Wei Dong guy let him co back first while he stayed in Country F. It turned out he had already known the Master was returning today. What a sly old fox.
Upon hearing this, a vicious glint flickered in Li Mochan’s eyes, "Who hijacked that batch of goods?"
The overwhelming pressure made it sowhat hard to breathe. Wei Bei swallowed hard, struggling to articulate a complete sentence, "We haven’t found out yet."
Before he could finish, Li Mochan’s icy gaze landed on the two, "If you can’t find out who hijacked the batch of goods by tomorrow night, let Wei Xi take his n and roll back to the Dark Hall on the island for a week."
At the ntion of "Dark Hall," the faces of Wei Bei and Wei Nan took on a strange look.
Dark Hall, that’s hell.
Poor Wei Xi.
"Master, there’s sothing else. The old master of the Li Family knows you’re back. He wants to hold a birthday banquet for you and is asking for you to discuss it," said Wei Nan.
Knowing full well the Master dislikes those people from the Li Family and cares even less for such banquets, the old master insisted on stirring up much fuss. It seems the older he gets, the more determined he is to return to his old ways.
A dark light flickered in Li Mochan’s eyes for a mont, "Arrange matters for Country M, we’ll set off tomorrow."
Wei Bei, "Yes."
He knew the old master’s plans were bound to fall through.
In a few days, it would be the Master’s grandmother’s birthday banquet, and the Master surely had to go back. Without one or two weeks, he certainly wouldn’t be coming back.
It looked like the extensively prepared birthday banquet by the old master of the Li Family was going to hit a snag.

Airport
Perhaps because it was the weekend, there was a large crowd.
In the sea of people, a slender girl dressed in a black casual outfit stood out, her spirit carefree, her clear eyes sleepy yet containing a hint of solitude.
Her clear, jade-like features were eye-catching, drawing amazed gazes from all around.
The next second, the girl did sothing that seed a bit odd to onlookers.
She reached into her pocket, pulled out a lollipop, peeled off the wrapper, and placed it in her mouth. By the ti people snapped out of it, the girl had already slipped away.
The boys who had wanted to strike up a conversation flashed looks of annoyance, having missed their chance to even ask for a WeChat contact.
Exiting the airport, Ye Jiuliang squinted her eyes and took a quick look around before heading straight for a black sedan.
She opened the door, threw her bag inside, and sat in the back seat.
"To the Ye Family."
Her cool voice echoed in the car.
The driver was a young man.
He looked up through the rearview mirror at the girl now feigning sleep in the back seat, his voice steady yet barely containing his excitent.
"Yes, Ninth Master."
No one could have imagined that this young girl was the most mysterious person in the K Organization, and he had actually t her in person.
The task assigned by boss Ji Mingqian to be the driver was simply terrific.
