Chapter 218 Seeking One's Own Death
Yu Yan, Shao Muyan, and the others returned to the villa, where Nan Song and the others had just finished their work.
Apart from Yu Jinwen, who was still sitting upright, Nan Song, Bai Luyu, and Shao Mushi were all sprawled out on the sofa or carpet, waving to them listlessly.
"I'm back."
Yu Yan opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "How could they all be... completely ruined like this?"
"Give me a hand."
Nan Song raised her hand shakily, and Yu Jinwen smiled and reached out his hands to support her waist and lift her up.
Yu Yan noticed that Nan Song's hands were swollen. How long had he been working?
"Is it difficult to overcome?"
"Don't even mention it."
Nan Song stretched his stiff neck, his voice weak, "In all my years in this business, I've never encountered such a formidable opponent. No wonder Mei's father was able to leave unscathed after betraying Sean and even start a new business in Blue River. This guy is really something."
Bai Luyu got up from the carpet, took a few gulps of cola, and used an ice pack to cool her swollen wrist.
"Their hacking team is top-notch internationally. Compared to them, we are complete novices and outnumbered."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Nan Song patted him on the neck.
"Hey buddy, don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own. We're not bad off either."
When Yu Yan heard this, she thought the mission had failed. But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Bai Luyu chuckled and gave Nan Song a high five.
"That's right! With our whole family on the line, who can stand against us? We'll crush them!"
Yu Yan was stunned.
Shao Muyan took a step forward, put his arm around her shoulder, and smiled gently at Nan Song and the others: "So, it's done?"
Nan Song responded with a bright smile.
“We enlisted my mom and Fu Yu’s help and have already located their base. Director Shao is also in contact with international police. It’s a preliminary success.”
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise.
Song Cheng jumped out and asked, "You got President Luo and Young Master Fu to help you?"
"Yes, the other side has a lot of people and is powerful, so of course we have to make a big show of it too."
Bai Luyu arrogantly flicked her nose with her thumb, only to touch her swollen fingertip, causing her to blow on her hand in pain.
Seeing the gratitude and guilt in Yu Yan's eyes, Nan Song got up, pushed Shao Muyan away, and snatched Yu Yan from his arms.
"Don't worry, my mom and Fu Yu are both very free. They always love to join in on these kinds of fun activities."
Yu Jinwen listened to Nan Song's serious-sounding nonsense, a slight smirk playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "If Mom and Fu Facai heard this, they'd definitely bite you."
"Should we take your hands to the hospital to get them checked out?"
As Yu Yan spoke, she looked at Song Cheng and asked if he had any good ointments so she could go and buy some.
Before Song Cheng could speak, Nan Song pulled Yu Yan back, "No need, Brother Rui will be here tonight. The ointment he made himself is much more effective than the ones sold in pharmacies."
Yu Yan blinked. "Is Dr. Su coming?"
"Hmm." Nan Song checked the time. "I reckon they've arrived at the hospital by now. He said he'd go see Shao Yun first, then come over."
Yu Yan felt a warm glow in her heart, never expecting that Doctor Su still cared about Shao Yun.
Shao Muyan took out his phone. "I'll call my older brother and ask about the situation."
Shao Mushi got up and followed.
—
While they were cooking hot pot that evening, Shao Muwen and Su Rui entered the house together; they had met at the villa's entrance.
Su Rui brought the ointment, and Shao Muwen brought the latest news.
"Based on the clues we have gathered over this period of time, we have indeed located Mei's base in Blue River. However, we have just learned that the international police have sent a number of people in, but they have all gone missing."
Shao Muwen's words made everyone stop what they were doing, and the bubbling hot pot suddenly cooled down.
"That difficult to deal with?"
Nan Song and Yu Yan spoke in unison, their brows furrowing in alarm.
Therefore, Mei Nan's choice to use herself as bait to return to her father's side was simply courting death.
The night was deep and dark.
Snap!
A beam of light shone into the office area, illuminating Xiang Jingheng's inscrutable face.
He walked step by step toward Mei Nan's workstation.
This road is so unfamiliar.
Xiang Jingheng suddenly realized that it had always been Mei Nan who had gradually come to him, and he had never taken the initiative to seek her out.
Whenever he summons her, no matter when or where Mei Nan is, she will always rush to his side immediately, listen carefully to his instructions, and then carry out the tasks he assigns without hesitation.
Mei Nan alone is worth more than the entire CEO's office.
However, Mei Nan's greatest strength lies in the fact that despite her immense power, no one is jealous of or wary of her. She can get along well with everyone, as long as she wants.
Many previously overlooked details suddenly came to mind, and Xiang Jingheng took a deep breath.
She's usually the most well-behaved, but she's also the one who gets into the most trouble!
Mei Nan's workstation is clearly visible.
Aside from the computer, keyboard, and water cup, there was nothing else.
The other female PhD students either had family photos or various cartoon blind boxes on their desks, but Mei Nan's desk was completely minimalist.
There was a pile of documents on the table that Mei Nan needed to process. Even though Mei Nan had been away for the past few days, the people in the research lab didn't know what she had been doing. They all thought she had gone on a business trip and habitually looked for her when they needed something.
Strangely, even though Mei Nan wasn't there, the research lab wasn't in chaos; everyone was still busy in an orderly manner.
Most of the people inside had followed Mei Nan since Xiao Xing's research lab. On the surface, Gan Xiao Xing was their boss, but in reality, Mei Nan held the real power, and they all listened to Mei Nan.
Although they had been with Mei Nan for many years, when Jing Heng asked them about work, they could talk freely and no one had a bad word to say about Mei Nan.
Mei Nan is always generous with money. As soon as the project money is received, it is immediately distributed to everyone. Working with her, you don't even need to flatter her. You just need to do your job well according to her requirements.
However, when Xiang Jingheng inquired about Mei Nan's private affairs, they looked at each other blankly, unable to answer any of the questions.
"Ms. Mei is a person with a very strong sense of boundaries. Sometimes when we have dinner together, we can't help but ask her about her marital status and even want to introduce her to a boyfriend, but she always changes the subject and it never comes to fruition."
"Ms. Mei never talks to us about her family. When we complain, she just listens quietly without complaining or agreeing."
"..."
In fact, the Mei Nan in everyone's eyes is no different from the Mei Nan in Xiang Jingheng's eyes.
There wasn't even a single photo of herself on her workstation.
Xiang Jingheng clenched his fist before setting aside his years of self-restraint and pulling open Mei Nan's drawer. The drawer was surprisingly empty, except for a small conch shell-shaped whistle.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
Because I recognized him.
This whistle is his!
