Byron glanced at the somewhat disheveled Ai Chen, then smiled at Le Yao: "You're right, I'll definitely keep an eye on her from now on."

Ai Chen glared at Byron, wanting to refute him, but knew it wasn't the right time, so he remained silent.

"Then let's go back. There's no need to meet again if there's nothing else to do." After saying that, Nangong Jue simply picked up Le Yao and left.

"Why are you carrying me? Put me down, I can walk by myself." Le Yao was startled.

"You can't." Nangong Jue lifted the person up a bit. "I saw it just now, your knees are bruised. If you don't want to go to the hospital, then behave yourself."

Le Yao knew that once this person had made up his mind, he wouldn't let go, so she comfortably nestled on his back, feeling incredibly happy.

Ai Chen stared at the two figures as they walked away, feeling an intense irritation that made his face contort in anger.

“You’re really stupid,” Byron scoffed. “No wonder you can’t even beat a country girl.”

"What did you say?" Ai Chen shouted. "Byron, you'd better not push me, or else..."

"How about it?" Byron leaned closer to Ai Chen and put his arm around her shoulder. "Tell A-Jue that I like him? No problem. I'm too shy to say it myself. If you do, maybe I'll have a chance."

"you……"

"You'd better not struggle, or I can't guarantee I won't regret saving you."

Ai Chen could only take a deep breath and let Byron take her to the villa.

For the next two days, Nangong Jue was busy because the head of the European region had been dismissed, so a new head needed to be appointed, which was no easy task.

Fortunately, Huo Yi and Fang Ming are both quite capable and have foresight. Even though each region has a person in charge, they will find a successor in case something happens and there will be no leader.

However, the situation in the European region is a bit complicated. Ai Chen was in charge before, but his deputy became infatuated with him. So, after Ai Chen was dismissed, his deputy could no longer be used, so a new person was promoted. That's why it took two days to get things done.

Finally, he had some free time, but Nangong Jue's six-month vacation, which he had previously enjoyed due to his injury, was also over.

"Alan, I have to go back and report for leave." Nangong Jue didn't really want to leave his wife, but for the sake of his identity, he couldn't abandon his family for the greater good.

"How long?" Le Yao was taken aback. Having spent so much time together these past few days, she had almost forgotten that the man in front of her was just a cover for his domineering CEO persona.

Ugh, she's basically living out a fake CEO romance novel, okay?

"About a week."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back." Le Yao nodded; she could tolerate a week.

Golden Triangle, Qingsheng County.

Black Hawk was eating in a restaurant. He had been here for several months, but the investigation was not progressing well. The reason was that the people here were very xenophobic. However, his boss said to take it slow, so he was not in a hurry. As a result, he did make some progress.

"Ahei." Just then, a girl ran over. "Why are you eating here? Didn't you say you were going to my house?"

"No need, I'm full," Black Hawk said, getting up to leave.

"Ahei, where are you going?" the girl chased after him.

"Don't follow me." Black Hawk turned around and glared at the girl.

"No," the girl insisted. "I want to follow you because I like you."
