“I understand, but I’m not sure I can intercept them,” Yuan Meng said.

After all, only Gu Siting knew who that person really was.

Although she had people keeping an eye on things, and Kaman Dorrance also had people keeping an eye on things, neither of them knew which one would eventually become the owner of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead.

Gu Weiwei sighed, "The worst outcome is that he already knows."

If it's unavoidable, she has no choice but to face it.

"Alright, that's enough. I'm going to investigate He Lina," Yuan Meng said.

Gu Weiwei ended the call with her and returned to the Tianshui Villa.

Because she was still alive, Li Xin'er was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well for several days. Meanwhile, Ling Yan, who was far away in Country A, was even more anxious and flustered than Li Xin'er.

On Gu Siting's side, the owner of the nine-eyed dzi bead is about to appear again.

His own film's reputation and box office performance were far behind "Half Awake," and Mu Weiwei was not killed; nothing went smoothly.

After learning that Mu Weiwei had returned to China unharmed, she immediately tried to contact the people she had met before, but she couldn't reach them for several days.

She and her mother, Ji Fang, waited anxiously every day, feeling as if they were waiting for the truth to be revealed and for the day they would die without a burial place.

Fortunately, Gu Siting was too busy with company matters to see her, otherwise he was afraid he would have given himself away.

Several days have passed since the assassination attempt on Mu Weiwei failed, and that person has finally shown up to meet with her.

Because they hadn't been able to contact each other for several days, Ling Yan's tone was inevitably a bit harsh when they met.

"Didn't you say it would succeed? Why would it fail?"

“It wasn’t just Fu Hanzheng’s men; another group was protecting her. Kerry’s men were almost completely wiped out,” the man said.

Ling Yan gritted her teeth. "What do we do now? Time is running out."

If Gu Siting and the Kaman Dorrance family find out, she and her mother will be completely finished.

"There's no time or opportunity left to make a second attempt."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan couldn't sit still any longer.

"You mean we're just going to sit idly by?"

"It would be so easy to trace it back to the Li family, but there's been no movement at all. Li Xin'er is still safe and sound outside. What does that mean?" the man asked Ling Yan.

Ling Yan's mind was in complete chaos; she had no time to think about any of this.

"I don't care what this means, but if Mu Weiwei doesn't die, none of us will have an easy time."

"That means the Fu family is investigating even more deeply, and that they've already figured out that someone is using this as a tool to kill someone else," the man coldly reminded him.

The other party is only investigating now, and may not be able to trace it back to him yet.

However, taking another hasty action would be tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.

Logically, Kerry's men shouldn't have failed, but the group that suddenly appeared caught them off guard.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan became even more uneasy.

"Didn't you do it very discreetly? They shouldn't be able to trace it back to us."

Originally, they only had to deal with the Gu family and Kaman Dorrance, but now the Fu family is also investigating them. They are truly besieged on all sides.

"No matter how careful or secretive you are, there will always be some indelible traces. I don't intend to get involved in this matter. You'd better take care of yourself."

After he finished speaking, the man prepared to get up and leave, ending the meeting.

"What do you mean? You're not going to get involved anymore?"

“Yes, never mind,” the man said directly.

"Don't forget, we're all in the same boat. If they find out about my affair, you won't be able to escape either," Ling Yan warned through gritted teeth.

Now that she has no other help, and this person wants to abandon her now, she's doomed.
