"I'm so sorry... Hehe! Thank you, Fourth Brother!"
Since there's money to be made, she might as well accept it... What money-grubber doesn't love money?
"Alright, don't be so polite with your fourth brother."
Yan Qirui was amused by Yan Xiluo's adorable behavior.
"Now that things are resolved, I need to hurry home. I need to be in my room before my parents get up..."
Yan Xiluo thought that if they continued chatting, it would go on until dawn, and she couldn't keep rambling on. Regardless of whether Yan Qirui went back or not, she had to rush home. If her family found out she wasn't home and had secretly slipped out, the house would be in chaos.
“Okay, I’ll go back with you. I’ve packed everything up here, so they can move right away.”
Before he arrived, all their equipment and weapons were already in place and en route.
He only took the opportunity to train them for a few hours because he needed to rush home today; they had enough time to sleep during the ten-hour flight.
"Okay, let's go together then, but I need to change my clothes."
Yan Xiluo looked down and realized that she really couldn't go home in this state, as she was wearing combat camouflage clothing and shoes.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes too. Let me know when you're done, and we'll go to the airport together."
Yan Qirui was in the same boat; he couldn't bring himself to wear this gear home, as it wouldn't even pass through airport security.
"Okay! I'll head back now!"
After Yan Xiluo finished speaking, she got into the jeep, and Lu Qing and the other two also got in and sat down.
Yan Xiluo immediately started the car and drove away.
After Yan Xiluo walked away, Yan Qirui got on his motorcycle. The other two mercenaries also got on their motorcycles and followed behind Yan Qirui.
"Boss! Why are you chatting so enthusiastically with this elite soldier? You seem to know him really well? Did you hit it off in just a short while?"
Lu Qing inquired gossipingly. The two were chatting and laughing, looking very familiar? They didn't seem like friends who had bombed each other's bases at all.
Could it be that the two are a perfect match, and they hit it off the moment they took off their goggles? To be honest, she was even a little bit tempted.
"No... The matter is resolved. I'm changing my clothes and going home. I'm leaving the army to you now!"
Yan Xiluo shook her head helplessly. They were siblings! Siblings! Well, what could she do when she couldn't understand their language?
She didn't bother to explain further, and drove at top speed, wanting only to get home as quickly as possible.
"Okay! Don't worry, boss!"
Seeing that Yan Xiluo was avoiding the topic, Lu Qing did not press the matter further.
Ten minutes later, Yan Xiluo washed up and changed into the clothes she had come in, then contacted Yan Qirui to come and pick her up at the gate of the military base.
"Pfft... Fourth Brother... You're so silly! Why are you dressed like this again? That wig... So you were wearing a wig to hide your buzz cut before?"
Caught completely off guard, Yan Xiluo burst out laughing... Yan Qirui's current appearance is a completely different person from before... although he doesn't look that bad...
But you have to admit, Yan Qirui looks absolutely stunning with a buzz cut! It turns out that the wig he wore before was just hiding his good looks!
"Little sister, do I look funny?"
Yan Qirui frowned and asked nervously, "Does he look ugly in my sister's eyes?"
He thought it was alright... it's just that wigs aren't breathable in the summer... and this wig was even made from his own real hair...
"Huh? A little, hahaha, it's mainly because the contrast is so strong... I didn't think it was anything special when I didn't know, but now, I really can't help but laugh... Fourth Brother, I'm afraid I'll give myself away when I get home..."
Caught off guard by Yan Qirui's probing question, Yan Xiluo paused, her laughter subsiding. Then, regaining her composure, she burst into laughter again; she was really trying hard to control her laughter…
She felt that if she sat across from him at the dinner table at home, she would definitely lose all composure...
She couldn't possibly hold it in... Perhaps if she laughed like that, her family would think she was crazy...
"Um... but I really can't let my family know. It's not the right time yet. I have an important task to complete, and I'll end this job after that."
Yan Qirui was speechless... Was he really that ugly? Did his sister think he had such a bad image?
"Okay! I'll try my best! Hahahaha..."
Yan Xiluo could only hold back her laughter for less than two seconds before she broke down again...
"Okay, get in the car, or we'll be late."
Yan Qirui sighed and gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to stop, be patient, and get in the car first.
"Uh-huh."
Yan Xiluo immediately stopped smiling and got into the car.

Z Country
Lan Jingyan was dealing with company affairs until 3:30 a.m. before finally deciding to go to sleep.
Suddenly, I discovered that the location tracking I had installed on Yan Xiluo's phone for her safety was actually in country X?
The thought that Yan Xiluo might be in danger startled him so much that he jumped up, grabbed his clothes, and rushed outside.
Thinking that Yan Xiluo would definitely send him a distress signal if there was any danger, he went back to the room to check the historical location.
Why would this girl stay up so early and leave home to go to country X? Her family probably doesn't know, so she sneaked out?
She had a back injury and still ran around without even calling him?! After checking the historical location, Lan Jingyan pulled back to the real-time location. If he wasn't mistaken... Yan Xiluo was currently heading to the airport in country X, preparing to fly back home.
Was he supposed to get home before his family woke up? What was all this about? They were never quiet, never giving him a moment's peace! He sighed helplessly, blaming it on the fact that they were too strong and he was completely useless to them.
He then dialed Yan Xiluo's number, just wanting to make sure she was alright.
Yan Xiluo was startled when she saw the call from Lan Jingyan. Why was he calling her at this time?
Did she discover she had gone abroad? That makes sense, her phone had the tracking system that Lan Jingyan had installed for her.
The situation was urgent, and seeing how late it was, she didn't have time to tell him... Besides, he didn't know he had this other identity...
"Hey, Ayan."
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xiluo pressed the answer button.
"Why did you go to X country in the middle of the night? Your back needs rest, why didn't you tell me I would have gone with you?"
As soon as the call connected, she heard Lan Jingyan's anxious voice on the other end; it was clear he was very worried about her.
"Things were all too urgent, and I forgot... My friend's house was vandalized. I own property in X country, so I was delivering the keys to her and offering her some comfort. Everything's alright now, and I'm on my way to the airport. I'll be back in China soon."
Yan Xiluo really didn't intend to hide the fact that he went abroad... She originally wanted to tell the truth, but she glanced at Yan Qirui, who gestured for her not to say anything yet.
She had to come up with another excuse; she really didn't mean to hide it from him, but Yan Qirui wouldn't allow it...
