Wang Qianqian's cries were sharp and piercing, making people feel annoyed. Gu Zixiao withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked forward, as if nothing had happened.

After taking a few steps, he realized the others weren't following. He asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to keep up? Didn't you say the mission was difficult?"

Qi Nan rubbed her forehead, still uncertain, and asked, "How are you feeling now? You won't resort to violence again, will you?"

Gu Zixiao corrected, "Qi Nan, watch your words. As a soldier, how can I casually start a fight with someone?"

He spread his hands, his fox-like eyes full of innocence: "I was just testing their abilities. You just said this mission is very dangerous."

The subtext is, you should thank me.

Qi Nan, sensing the implication in his words, twitched her lips and asked with a half-smile, "So, what were the results of your test as a general?"

“Unqualified.” Gu Zixiao said gently, “If you don’t want this dangerous mission to be a hindrance and cause our entire army to be wiped out, you’d better deal with the person properly.”

Wang Qianqian knew Gu Zixiao was talking about her, and she cried out in protest: "Gu Zixiao, you bastard, what did I do to offend you? Otherwise, why are you implying that I'm a burden?"

Wang Qianqian was indignant and unwilling to accept it. Why should she be targeted by Gu Zixiao? It was her brother who used some tricks to get her involved.

The goal, of course, is to improve her resume so she can find a better job.

How could she give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

She absolutely refuses!

Whether for her own sake or to live up to her brother's good intentions.

Gu Zixiao was too lazy to waste words and looked directly at Qi Nan: "Qi Nan, I consider yourself a smart person. A smart person should know what to do."

Wang Zhenfeng looked at Qi Nan with a serious expression: "Qi Nan, you're not being fair. You know the mission is dangerous, yet you still make us risk our lives for certain people's credit? Why should we?"

Wang Xinbei stood up with Wang Qianqian's help, his face unfriendly: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm abusing my power for personal gain? Disregarding my teammates? Am I that kind of person?"

Neither Gu Zixiao nor Wang Zhenfeng spoke, but the message they conveyed was clear: 'You are that kind of person.'

"What right do you have to slander my brother like this?" Wang Qianqian glared angrily at Qi Nan. "Brother Qi Nan, are you just going to stand by and watch them misunderstand my brother? You agreed to let my brother take me with him before."

Qi Nan's expression was displeased: "But your brother didn't say he would involve you in the mission."

Qi Nan looked at Wang Xinbei with sharp eyes: "So, is it true that Gu Zixiao said you're bringing Wang Qianqian into the mission?"

Wang Xinbei, of course, could not admit to this.

This is a serious disciplinary violation.

Normally, Gu Zixiao would turn a blind eye to such attempts to take credit for others' work.

Because of his formidable strength, he completely disregarded them and naturally wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

But today, for some reason, they've been targeting the brother and sister relentlessly.

Damn it!

He also wanted to use Gu Zixiao's achievements to help his sister gain some experience so that she could find a good job later.

"No. I plan to arrange for Qianqian to go to a safe location before she goes on her mission."

"Brother~" Wang Qianqian called out in dissatisfaction.

Wang Xinbei squeezed her hand and gestured for her to be quiet with his eyes.

Wang Qianqian suppressed her anger, glared fiercely at Gu Zixiao, and reluctantly shut her mouth.

Qi Nan gave Wang Xinbei a deep look, then turned to Gu Zixiao: "You have no objections now, right?"

Gu Zixiao glanced at Wang Xinbei, her expression meaningful: "I hope so."

After saying this, he turned and left, and Wang Zhenfeng quickly followed.

Just as Qi Nan was about to follow, Wang Xinbei quickly said, "Brother Qi Nan, I want to take my sister to a safe place first. Then I'll meet up with you."

"Okay." Qi Nan replied casually and quickly followed Gu Zixiao.

He felt that Wang Xinbei would never give up on this mission, especially since he could take advantage of Gu Zixiao's mission.

This is an unspoken rule among security departments.

After Qi Nan walked away, Wang Qianqian spoke up with dissatisfaction: "Brother~ Gu Zixiao is a lunatic who is targeting us. You have to help us get revenge."

Wang Xinbei's eyes were gloomy. He patted Wang Qianqian's head and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, when have I ever let you down?"

"But……"

Wang Xinbei knew what his sister was going to say, and he smiled slyly: "In a little while, you can quietly follow behind me."

Wang Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she broke into a big smile: "Brother, you're so smart. Gu Zixiao is nothing. Look at his arrogant attitude, why doesn't he just die?"

"Qianqian," Wang Xinbei hissed disapprovingly, "If he dies, how will you claim the credit?"

“That’s true.” Wang Qianqian nodded in agreement. “Then let’s wait until he helps us complete the mission…”

Wang Xinbei nodded, pinched Wang Qianqian's cheek, gave her some final instructions, and then left with lingering concern.

Not long after Wang Xinbei left, just as Wang Qianqian was about to follow, a cloud of black mist drifted out from somewhere in the woods. Without hesitation, it enveloped Wang Qianqian's body. A moment later, 'she' opened her eyes, looked at the body, tilted her head, and followed without thinking.

...

After overhearing her scumbag father's conversation, Lan Yao went to the Xu and Qian families, taking away their belongings from various houses in Shenzhen and the cemetery in the village.

Only then did they leisurely begin moving the Lan family's belongings, which were hidden in various corners of Shenzhen.

Compared to the money that the Lan family openly kept in several properties, the wealth that the Lan family openly hid was the majority of their assets in Shenzhen.

The jade Pixiu watched as Lan Yao moved a large amount of Lan family property from textile factories, state-owned buildings, pig farms, state-owned restaurants, banks, and other places into the space.

The jade Pixiu was somewhat dumbfounded.

It asked incredulously, "Are the Lan family members rabbit spirits in disguise? Otherwise, how could they be so good at hiding things?"

Lan Yao shrugged: "The Lan family has always been very shrewd; they like to have multiple backup plans. Although their main base is in Shanghai, they like to make several preparations. As the saying goes, 'better safe than sorry.'"

Besides, the place where Lan Yao moved her family property was originally the Lan family's land and building.

However, the Lan family eventually donated the money when they realized the situation was not right. Nevertheless, the authorities gave the Lan family a large share of the profits.

Upon hearing this, the jade pixiu immediately became interested: "Does the Lan family have any hidden treasures?"

Lan Yao stroked her chin and thought for a moment: "...Yes. In Kyoto, there are quite a few places."

The jade Pixiu became even more excited: "It just so happens that Master is preparing to go to Kyoto."

Isn't this just like giving someone a pillow when they're sleepy?
