“Zhixing…” Jiang Can said softly, blinking her big eyes as she looked at him.

At this moment, she was as obedient as a little rabbit, pouting as she leaned against his chest, and said softly, word by word, "Last time I was completely unprepared, but this time is different."

"This time we have a plan, a countermeasure, and you can even send people to protect me secretly!"

Huo Zhixing remained silent, refusing to budge.

"Honey, we must catch Gu Mang and send him to where he belongs, so he'll never harm anyone again!"

Jiang Can's gaze was unusually firm, which made his heart tremble.

He knew that she had always been a gentle woman with a strong inner core.

"Perhaps... through Gu Mang's lead, we can still find Yin Shaoqing's whereabouts, and maybe even implicate Huo Zhiyan, allowing us to wipe out their entire gang in one fell swoop!"

"So, you should disappear when it's time to disappear, go along with Huo Zhiyan's scheme, and make him think we've fallen into a trap! After that... we'll have the upper hand!"

"Yes," Huo Zhixing smiled. "High-level hunters always appear as prey."

He gently patted her head, and with a mixture of worry and extreme affection, gave her two words:

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Can's smile was as bright as starlight as she nestled against his chest like a little bird.

"Don't worry, honey, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Although we don't know what Huo Zhiyan's next move will be, we will counter his moves and absolutely not give him any room to fight back!"

"Does he even dare to fight back?" Huo Zhixing gently patted her shoulder. "You even dismissed his personal bodyguards!"

Jiang Can laughed heartily.

"Wife..." The thought of him "disappearing" for the next few days and Gu Mang coming to visit made him feel quite jealous.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"If Gu Mang and I were both standing in front of you, could you tell us apart?"

Jiang Can was taken aback. Looking at his cold and serious expression, she knew that this man was starting to have childish ideas again.

So she teased him, "Are you kidding me? Of course I can't tell the difference!"

"What?!"

"Fool!" Jiang Can tapped his forehead with her finger. "You think I wouldn't recognize my husband?"

Huo Zhixing then realized that he had been tricked.

He smirked, no longer caring about anything else, and suddenly bent down, picked up Jiang Can, and ran upstairs to the master bedroom...

It's about to "disappear," so we have to have a blast tonight!

...

The next day, Jiang Can struggled to get out of bed, supporting her aching back.

After finishing tidying up, I rushed to the old house study.

She doesn't have to go to work today; this is her weekly routine of coming to the resort to handle family matters.

Standing outside the door was Wan Xiaolei, the nephew of the housekeeper Wan at Huo Zhanpeng's residence. Last time Huo Wenyuan was poisoned, it was he who kept bringing him medicine.

Later, it was found out that he had nothing to do with the matter, and since Huo Zhanpeng was always kind-hearted, he continued to keep him in Lingfeng Bay.

Today, Jiang Can came back to handle family matters, and Wan Xiaolei volunteered to stand guard at the door of the study.

Jiang Can smiled. He was just back to sort out the accounts; why would he need someone to watch over them? Wan Xiaolei's actions were practically an admission of guilt.

However, Jiang Can didn't say anything. Since he wanted to guard it, she would let him guard it. She still had a lot of things she wanted to tell Huo Zhiyan through Wan Xiaolei!

Like right now.

Fang Han barged in, feigning panic, and seemed to have no manners whatsoever.

As soon as she entered the door, she shouted, "Young Madam, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Jiang Can coughed twice and deliberately winked at him, "There are still people outside! What are you making a fuss about?"

Wan Xiaolei tilted his body to the side, his ear almost touching the door.

Fang Han curled his lips into a smile, and said the "secret" very loudly: "Young Madam, there's something you absolutely mustn't tell anyone... Our young master, he..."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He seems to have disappeared!"

"What?" Jiang Can stood up abruptly. "How is that possible! We were just together yesterday!"

“Yes, that’s the problem!” Fang Han raised his voice. “Young Master was on an early morning flight to England, but before he even arrived at the airport, I… I couldn’t get in touch with him!”

Jiang Can paced back and forth in the room.

Wan Xiaolei quietly crept up and observed the two men's every move through the crack in the door.

He saw Fang Han with his head down, looking dejected, and sighing.

Seeing Jiang Can's anxious expression and red eyes, and her repeated phone calls, I realized that she was very worried.

Finally, Fang Han confirmed, "Young Madam, we really can't contact the young master. What should we do? There are several documents waiting for him to sign at the company, involving tens of millions of yuan. None of us dare to make the decision!"

...

Wan Xiaolei quickly arrived at Yanyuan and reported everything he had heard and seen to Huo Zhiyan.

Huo Zhiyan's eyes widened, her mind going blank.

Can it be such a coincidence? Huo Zhixing disappeared at this critical juncture?

"Did you hear me clearly?"

“Absolutely right!” Wan Xiaolei patted his chest to assure him, “The Third Young Mistress later said… that she wasn’t qualified to sign those documents worth tens of millions; the Third Young Master had to be there. But the Third Young Master is currently missing…”

Huo Zhiyan took a deep breath and made several calls to Huo Zhixing, but the calls could not be connected.

He then used his connections to secretly search for Huo Zhixing, waiting for news from morning until night. The last person to return said, "There is no record of the Third Young Master leaving the country, but we have searched the entire Central City and there is indeed no trace of him."

Huo Zhiyan's mouth twisted into a sinister smile.

It's better if he doesn't exist! It would be best if he died a gruesome death!

"This is truly a golden opportunity given to me by heaven!" Huo Zhiyan lit a cigarette. "Gu Mang will soon be put to good use!"

"Young Master, should I... continue to follow Third Young Mistress?"

"Don't follow too closely," Huo Zhiyan whispered. "That little bitch is very cunning. If you give anything away in front of her, my whole plan will be ruined!"

"Yes, yes!" Wan Xiaolei responded and left.

Huo Zhiyan had someone bring Gu Mang over and dressed him up in a suit and tie.

They then asked him if he remembered how he used to imitate Huo Zhixing's signature.

Gu Mang looked completely bewildered, having no recollection whatsoever.

In his world, there is only fighting, going to jail, money, and sex.

No color, but money is definitely better!

"Young Master," Gu Mang said with a fawning smile, "If... if I master this signature, will I be able to make money?"

"Ha, you're so short-sighted!" Huo Zhiyan sneered. "Once you've mastered it, you'll be making a fortune!"

Gu Mang flattened his lips.

He knew they were using him as a stand-in for Huo Zhixing.

But he's a stand-in, not an idiot!

Whether Huo Zhixing is truly missing or faking it, once his identity is exposed, he will face certain death!

So Gu Mang stammered, "Young...Young Master, can I not participate in your plan?"

"What did you say?" Huo Zhiyan's features contorted in pain.
