Lan Jingyan didn't think any further, put down her coffee, and strode out of the president's office.

Because of the heat, Yan Xiluo was already sitting in the VIP reception area on the first floor of the company. Lan Jingyan would see her as soon as he came down.

"Shall we go have lunch?"

As soon as the elevator door opened, Yan Xiluo immediately stood up, walked over, and affectionately took Lan Jingyan's hand.

What would you like to eat?

Lan Jingyan kissed Yan Xiluo on the cheek, then wrapped his arm around her waist and walked out.

"I suddenly had a craving for steak today, the one on Riyue Street. If I go there now, it will be lunchtime."

She suddenly realized it wasn't his off-get off work time yet, so she asked him to skip work.

"Okay, you decide. I'll listen to you."

During their time together, they rarely ate at X-restaurants because Yan Xiluo preferred spicy and numbing flavors, and they ate stir-fried dishes at Z-restaurants more often.

"Then you drive."

Yan Xiluo handed him the car keys. She had been thinking about her plans for the evening on the way here, and since Lan Jingyan was driving, she didn't need to be distracted while driving.

"Okay, sure."

Lan Jingyan could tell that Yan Xiluo was thinking about something along the way, but since she didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask too much. However, he would keep a close eye on her and pay more attention to her movements.

After lunch, Yan Xiluo drove Lan Jingyan back to the Lan Group and then drove home herself.

Once she got home, she began preparing the miniature camera, including anything she might need in the plan.

She also assigned tasks to her subordinates, and with everything prepared, she waited for the time to come.

Meanwhile, Yan Youting and Li Shuwen were still worried about Yan Xiluo's decision to risk her life.

Country Y

He sat with his back to the table, legs crossed, looking out the window...

After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Yang Jun, after I return to China, I will gradually move the headquarters back to China. During my absence, you will take care of all the big and small matters in the gang."

Yang Jun was his confidant, his capable assistant, and also the deputy leader of their faction.

"Boss Yan, our counterintelligence team has discovered that there is an undercover agent in your home. They will take action tonight, and the target is Miss Yan."

Yang Jun had just received the news and immediately reported it to him.

"Su Bei has done a great job this time! The mastermind's organization is so meticulous; if it weren't for Su Bei's connections, we wouldn't have been able to get this information!"

Yang Jun explained how he obtained the inside information.

"Northern Jiangsu?"

He clenched his fists. Perhaps he shouldn't have listened to Yan Xiluo. He should have rushed back to her company the moment the accident happened!

It's too late to say anything now, he can't get back in time!

At this moment, he could only think of one person who could protect Yan Xiluo!

"yes!"

Yang Jun nodded in response.

How did he do that?

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He frowned, somewhat suspicious, as even he couldn't get close to that organization.

He can do it?

"This is what happened..."

Yang Jun reported the entire process to him word for word.

"Is this person trustworthy?"

He was still somewhat hesitant, fearing that the person was the real undercover agent and might cause trouble.

“Boss Yan, you can absolutely trust him! Once we find out who’s behind the killing of Miss Yan, he’ll come here. And as I just told you, he knows about Su Bei’s background.”

He had seen Su Bei's loyalty; every single thing he had done since joining the gang proved his sincerity.

"Okay! I'll trust him this once. Keep a close eye on things while I'm gone. Get me a backup plane in a bit, I'll head straight back to Z country from the base!"

Yan Yixing, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, turned around and gave a wicked smile.

"Then, Boss Yan, I'll have someone prepare a backup phone for you."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he immediately went to take care of the matter.

Yan Yixing stood by the window and took several puffs of his cigarette before taking out his phone and making a call.

"Hey, Brother Yan."

"Ah Xing? What's wrong?"

Lan Jingyan had just arranged for people to keep watch at the Yan family villa.

"Make sure to protect Luo Luo tonight. The people behind us are about to make their move. My flight is in a bit and I won't be able to get back in time, so I can only ask you for help!"

Yan Yixing's tone was calm and deep, completely different from his usual playful and smiling self.

What did you find out?

Only Lan Jingyan knew Yan Yixing's true identity. He didn't intend to let anyone around him know unless they bumped into each other during a certain operation.

"I can't explain it in a short time, but in short, protect Luo Luo. Right now, you're the only one closest to Luo Luo, and the only one with the ability to protect her!"

He couldn't summarize it in just a few words; there were too many details to cover. His top priority was to make sure Lan Jingyan protected Yan Xiluo before he could feel at ease!

"Okay, I understand. But I also sensed something was off about Luo Luo today. I think she probably knows something. Maybe she doesn't want me to get involved, which is why she hasn't said a word to me. But I've already sent someone to secretly follow her. I'll keep an eye on things while I'm handling what I'm doing. She doesn't want me to know, so I can only protect her secretly."

Lan Jingyan is also a smart person. In addition, he cares about Yan Xiluo a hundred times more than others. He can tell what she wants to do just by looking at her expression or frowning. Not to mention her unusual behavior today.

"Then I'll trouble you with my parents too! My people in City A will also be transferred there. If Luo Luo knew about tonight's mastermind's operation, then she must be making plans..."

Operating within the villa would inevitably implicate Yan Youting and Li Shuwen. Although the target was Yan Xiluo, he and Lan Jingyan had to be fully prepared.

"Ah Xing, don't worry too much. Luo Luo is the leader of the Xi Gang. She can easily turn the tables. I think she has already planned it out, which is why she hasn't said anything."

To ease Yan Yixing's worries, Lan Jingyan had no choice but to tell him about Yan Xiluo's identity as the leader of the gang.

"What? Does your family know about something this big? No wonder, after being hunted for eight years without letting the mastermind succeed, we already guessed she had some powerful background. We didn't expect her to be this strong! But I'm still worried. We must protect her!"

Yan Yixing was shocked and frightened, but mostly heartbroken. How much hardship would it take to become the leader of the Xi Gang? The burdens she would have to bear were far beyond what a young girl like her could possibly endure.

Surprised but also a little pleased, at least Yan Xiluo was not a weak woman to be slaughtered; she had the ability to escape, which reduced the danger somewhat.

On the surface, Yan Yixing is just a rich second-generation who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. But that's just a disguise for him. Only in this way can he focus on doing big things quietly.

He is the leader of the largest dark force and the strongest nightlife gang in Country Y.

He created this organization because he discovered some important secrets a few years ago. His purpose was to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, the love and hatred involved, which led him to country Y.

And so it went, and five years passed...
