10 PM.

Duan Ye and his two companions came out of the hotel.

For some reason, he felt very uneasy; his intuition was usually very accurate.

The three sat in the car: Duan Ze in the driver's seat, Duan Ye in the passenger seat, and Yang Fan in the back.

As Duan Ze was about to drive, Duan Ye said, "Brother Yang, show me the flowchart again."

Yang Fan was puzzled, but he still handed over the flowchart, which also had a detailed map of the hotel on the back.

It was drawn by Duan Ye himself.

Duan Ze and Yang Fan exchanged a glance and waited.

Duan Ze knew Duan Ye very well. In terms of sharpness, no one could compare to Duan Ye. Even Yang Fan, a veteran of many battles, had to admire him.

Duan Ye was already very familiar with it, but he still looked at it twice. In this flowchart, apart from Jiang Jingwen appearing at the very beginning, there was no Jiang Jingwen.

Why?

Does this mean that if the eldest brother of the Jiang family were to host this banquet, the second brother could rest easy?

Duan Ye then thought of Luo Shuyang's advice. Duan Ye had a fine quality, which was... listening to advice.

If he were Jiang Jingchuan, wanting to humiliate the Luo family and cause the Duan family members unbearable pain, then... the key point would still be Luo Qingyuan.

But Luo Qingyuan isn't allowed to keep their appointment tomorrow.

Besides Luo Qingyuan, who else could it be...?

Several names flashed through Duan Ye's mind before he finally said, "Brother, go to the film set and look for Nanxing."

Duan Ze was stunned, and Yang Fan was also stunned.

They didn't tell Duan Ye about what Nanxing had asked them to do today, because they could handle it themselves and wanted to avoid suspicion.

Duan Ze: "Why do you want to go find Nan Xing?"

Duan Ye said, "If I were Jiang Jingchuan, besides Qing Yuan, I could also control Nan Xing, because Nan Xing and I grew up together. If something happens to Nan Xing because of me or because of Qing Yuan, then..."

Duan Ye didn't finish speaking, but Duan Ze and Yang Fan understood.

Duan Ze sighed.

Yang Fan showed the information on his phone to Duan Ye: "You guessed right, Nanxing was threatened last night."

Yang Fan: "As long as they don't show up at the banquet, everything should be fine."

Duan Ze: "Not necessarily. They don't have to go, but what if someone forces them to go?"

Yang Fan's eyes widened: "Damn! This is Kyoto! Who dares to do this? Do they think we're dead?"

Duan Ze glanced at him: "What do you think?"

Yang Fan felt insulted.

So Yang Fan said, "How about this, I'll go back and report to my superiors, and send people to secretly protect Luo Qingyuan and Nanxing."

Duan Ze stopped him: "After all, we have no legitimate reason to send them, and it's just our guess. Besides, Niannian said that Jiang Jingwen is surrounded by experts. If you only send a few people, I'm afraid you might not be able to stop them."

Duan Ye agreed; they had investigated for the past few days and found Jiang Jingwen to be a very mysterious person.

Jiang Jingchuan is a smiling tiger, but at the same time he can be quite foolish. Jiang Jingwen, on the other hand, is different.

According to their investigation, this person led a team into the no-man's-land, but three months later, only he came out. What happened to the others? No one knows.

You wouldn't have survived this long if you weren't ruthless and cunning.

Yang Fan: "The best way would be to have my sister-in-law and Nanxing spend the day at the police station tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ye and Duan Ze both fell silent.

Duan Ye said through gritted teeth, "If you want me dead, you can just say so."

Duan Ze couldn't help but laugh: "You know what, that actually is a good idea."

Yang Fan: "It's for their safety, which is a good thing."

Duan Ye refused outright: "No way."

Yang Fan: "What? Are you afraid they'll fight?"

Duan Ye thought to himself, Luo Qingyuan and Nan Xing both have good tempers, how could they possibly fight? It's just that after he comes back, he might not be able to enter Luo Qingyuan's room for a month.

That won't do, and...

Duan Ze spoke first: "Nanxing is a celebrity. Her every move is under the camera. By making such a big fuss, aren't you just telling the Jiang family that I've figured out your scheme?"

Yang Fan scratched his head: "This won't work, that won't work? What should we do?"

Duan Ye and Duan Ze exchanged a glance and then smiled.

What else can we do? Naturally, we'll use magic to defeat magic. Let's make this banquet even more spectacular!

Yang Fan was immediately shocked: "You...you wouldn't be thinking of..."

then.

At 11 p.m., one bombshell news story after another broke out.

#Celebrity Nanxing attends charity gala with a group of popular actresses#

#Kyoto family attends charity gala#

#Kyoto official attends charity gala#

While the trending topics were exploding one after another, Duan Ye had already returned home.

Duan Ze and Yang Fan went to call for reinforcements, as there was no guarantee that the Jiang family wouldn't resort to desperate measures tomorrow.

Although the possibility is small, we should still be prepared, shouldn't we?

Duan Ye thought of their first night together. He couldn't bear to think about it. If Luo Qingyuan hadn't happened to run into him when he was drunk, things would have turned out much worse.

When he got home, Luo Qingyuan's stunning face appeared before him. She wore a red halter dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure. She must have just taken a shower, as she smelled wonderful.

Luo Qingyuan ran over and jumped up, with Duan Ye steadily supporting his wife's bottom.

Duan Ye finally understood what it meant to have a warm and soft woman in his arms.

Although he had been busy all day, he was very happy at that moment.

Luo Qingyuan turned her head and kissed him: "You're finally back. I've been missing you all day."
