Ruan Chen's words were brief and to the point. She closed Su Han's power of attorney, threw herself into his arms, and got up.

She was shorter than Su Han, but when she took a step toward him, her decisive and unyielding aura forced Su Han to subconsciously take a step back.

“I don’t care what methods you used. I’m giving you one hour to wake Su Tan up. She stays, and the rest of the Su family get out of Liuli Island,” Ruan Chen said sharply, giving him a cold look. “There will be a flight leaving Liuli Island in three hours. If I see you again after that… you’ll never have to go back.”

She spoke with conviction, and after saying this, she glanced at Tianlang.

Tianlang immediately understood her meaning and leaned down, "I understand, Miss Ruan."

Just as Ruan Chen reached the conference room door, she heard Su Han clapping his hands behind her. "If I had known about Miss Ruan's background, why would I have bothered to keep an eye on Su Ze's businesses? Wouldn't it have been much easier to start directly with Miss Ruan?"

There was a murderous intent in his tone!

"Cheng An, Cheng Lu!" Su Han shouted out two names. A man and a woman emerged from the shadows behind him, arms crossed, and stood on either side of him, their faces painted with the smiles of toying with their prey, looking at Ruan Chen and Tian Lang.

The two had been keeping a low profile, barely exchanging a few words with Ruan Chen, and mostly following silently behind Su Han.

Ruan Chen then realized that they were a brother and sister, both dressed in black hunting outfits and wearing tactical gloves.

Cheng Lu, with her short, black hair reaching her ears, licked her scarlet lips, her eyes gleaming with a murderous intent. "Boss Su has finally decided to use my brother and me. Tell me, do you want me to turn this little girl into an idiot or a madwoman?"

Cheng An snorted coldly, "It's better if I make the move this time. If I hadn't acted quickly this morning, you would have killed Su Tan."

Cheng Lu raised an eyebrow dismissively, "Who knew that these ordinary people's mental strength was so weak? I only interfered with her slightly, and she couldn't take it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Chen felt a faint, invisible fluctuation in the air, clearly indicating that this woman named Cheng Lu had opened her mental network!

Su Han is indeed quite capable; he was able to invite a master of mental power to work for him!

Ruan Chen didn't move, but Tianlang behind her let out a muffled groan and swayed.

His mental strength level was not low either, enough to have a place on the mercenary ranking list, so his strength was not bad. However, when he used his mental network to clash with Cheng Lu, he almost suffered a loss!

"Cheng Lu! Play later!" Su Han stopped her, then looked at Tianlang, "Su Ze left you such a powerful opponent?"

Sirius ignored him and whispered to Ruan Chen, "My mental strength level is level six, while they, brother and sister, are probably at level seven or higher."

Ruan Chen snorted and looked at Cheng Lu and Cheng An, "Are graduates from the four major institutes so worthless now? Even if Su Han offers a high price, you can't stoop to taking any dirty work—besides, if the research institute finds out about your behavior, you probably won't be able to get out of prison for the rest of your lives, right?"

After saying that, Ruan Chen looked at Su Han and added, "You'll be the same; you'll have to go to jail."

Her tone was somewhat casual, yet also admonishing, as if she genuinely cared about these people.

“There’s no need for Miss Ruan to worry about that,” Su Han said, feeling he had the upper hand. He walked three steps away from Ruan Chen. “These two are both graduates of the First Military Academy’s Rising Star Class—Miss Ruan should be close to taking the college entrance exam, right? She should know the significance of the Rising Star Class.”

"It's alright, I know a thing or two. The Rising Star Class has an early admission assessment every year, right?" Ruan Chen chatted lazily with him.

"It seems Miss Ruan doesn't have any special talent. No wonder she's still hanging around with the lowly people on a deserted island at her age. I can't blame you for your self-degradation. Although you have a good background, you lack talent. There's nothing I can do about it." Su Han belittled Ruan Chen without any mercy. As he said this, Cheng Lu and Cheng An behind him couldn't help but laugh smugly.

“Even though I didn’t make it into the Rising Star Class, I still know some of the rules—for example, people with a mental strength level of five or above are on the outer list of the research institute, and those with a level of seven or above are on the core list. The research institute regularly investigates and archives the whereabouts of the two people you invited. If they use their mental strength to endanger public safety or do anything else that violates the rules, the punishment will be very severe.”

Ruan Chen was getting a little tired of standing, so she pulled up a stool, sat down, reached for the teapot, and poured herself half a cup of water.

“It’s alright,” Su Han said, clearly unfazed by the threat. Even Cheng An and Cheng Lu, the siblings, were not intimidated. “This is Liuli Island. The research institute can’t reach that far.”

"Okay, so what do you want?"

Ruan Chen's attitude seemed to have softened, and she took the initiative to ask Su Han about his conditions.

“Previously, I only wanted the assets left by Su Ze, but now that Miss Ruan is here, those things don’t seem to hold any appeal for me anymore,” Su Han actually sat down in the main seat. “I think that as a descendant of the Ruan and Ye families, you must also have your own shares and assets… I want them all! In addition, I would like to trouble Miss Ruan to act as my introducer. I would like to meet with the heads of the Ruan and Ye families to discuss cooperation.”

Ruan Chen listened expressionlessly, patiently waiting for him to finish venting his anger. "I understand. There are only two and a half hours left before the flight leaves Liuli Island. Mr. Su, you need to hurry up and do what I just mentioned—actually, I really don't want to take action against the Su family, and I hope you will cooperate."

Su Han narrowed his eyes. "Miss Ruan doesn't seem to understand what I mean."

"I understand, you're talking nonsense." Ruan Chen was too lazy to explain the love and hate in Jingzhou to him, and urged him again indifferently, "I just said that I gave you an hour to wake up Su Tan, and you only have half an hour to do this. If I were you, I would be rushing to the hospital right now."

Su Han was completely enraged by Ruan Chen's tone and lack of cooperation, and shouted, "Cheng An!"

Upon receiving the instruction, Cheng An lowered his head slightly, concentrated, and placed his index finger on his temple. The invisible mental net instantly opened and rapidly expanded!

Su Han was just an ordinary person. Cheng Lu stepped forward and slightly released her mental power to protect Su Han. Her scarlet tongue darted out, staring in Ruan Chen's direction, looking forward to seeing her fall to the ground in pain.

Sure enough, a piercing scream rang out!

But the one screaming wasn't Ruan Chen, it was Cheng An!

One second he was playing like a cat catching a mouse with ease, the next he seemed to see something that terrified him. His eyes were fixed on the void as he backed away step by step, pleading, "Please don't come near me! I'll do whatever you say, please don't kill me!"
