"Mmm. Sister, you know what? The dance outfit you gave me last time made all my classmates and friends envious for so long! When I told them it was a gift from my sister, they actually asked me if my sister needed a younger sister!"
Yan Yinran always couldn't help but get close to Yan Xiluo and share interesting things with her.
"Pfft...they're actually quite cute."
Yan Xiluo was amused by Yan Yinran's somewhat funny yet indignant expression.
And so, Yan Xiluo and Yan Yinran's relationship grew even closer. They chatted and chatted until late at night, and Yan Yinran ended up sleeping in Yan Xiluo's room with her.

In a corner of the Yan family villa...
Ah Hui was making a phone call furtively.
"I heard Yan Xiluo has returned to the Yan family?"
"Yes, Master. What are your orders?"
After a while, Ah Hui responded to what was said on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Master, I will do what you asked immediately."
Little did they know that this whole scene had been witnessed by Yan Xiluo. Ever since Yan Xiluo learned that Ahui had a problem, she had installed surveillance cameras inside and outside the entire Yan family villa, providing a 360-degree view with no blind spots.
She knew that as soon as she returned, Ah Hui would begin to take action, and sure enough, she did.
Although she couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, she knew from Ahui's reply that Ahui was about to start causing trouble again.
After hanging up the phone, Ahui hid the phone inside her clothes; it was the phone she used specifically to contact her superiors.
Ah Hui looked around to make sure no one else was there, then straightened her clothes and went into the villa.
As she approached the lobby, she suddenly stopped, gathering her emotions. It was unclear what she would do next.
Yan Xiluo was watching Ahui's every move on her phone the whole time, unaware that everything was under Yan Xiluo's control.
Ah Hui rushed into the hall in a hurry.
"Sir, Madam, may I ask for a day off?"
Ah Hui's voice was trembling with tears in her eyes and a sob in her voice.
Only Yan Youting and Li Shuwen were in the hall.
"Ahui, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Seeing Ah Hui cry, Li Shuwen also became anxious and worried.
"Madam, my mother is sick and hospitalized. I have to go to the hospital to take care of her for a day. I don't know the specifics yet; I'll find out after the examination."
Ah Hui delivered a superb performance, telling her story.
“Hey~ Luo Luo happens to be home. How about I let Luo Luo go with you to see her? After all, you’ve been with our family for over ten years, so you’re practically family.”
Li Shuwen thought about it again and realized that Yan Xiluo was always willing to help others. For example, when some of the new servants in the house were feeling unwell, Yan Xiluo noticed and personally treated them.
If it's to help Ahui's mother take a look, that should be fine too?
“Madam, no need. Miss Luoluo rarely comes home, so she should spend more time with her husband and mother. My mother’s illness can be treated at the hospital. There’s no need to trouble Miss Luoluo to make the trip. It’s probably not a big problem. I was just too anxious and couldn’t help but worry you.”
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's words, Ahui became so anxious that her face turned pale, and she quickly made an excuse to refuse.
"Okay, since that's the case, then you can go without worry. Your leave has been approved. Let me know if anything comes up."
Seeing that Ah Hui was so understanding, Li Shuwen didn't say anything more and approved the leave directly.
"Okay, thank you, ma'am!"
Yan Youting didn't speak; Li Shuwen always made the decisions regarding servants' leave requests and approvals.
After receiving permission, Ahui turned and left, leaving behind a sinister smile. She then pretended to pack some luggage and left the Yan family villa.
"Yu Ling, keep a close eye on that nanny who just left our house, the one in the blue top and black pants. Let's see what she's up to."
Yan Xiluo immediately sent a message to Yu Ling. As long as Yu Ling, like Pang Jiayi, stayed near Yan Xiluo and was on standby unless there was any special action, she would be ready to act at any time.
"receive!"
Yu Ling rushed downstairs. The gate of the Yan family villa was still some distance from the main road, so Yu Ling had plenty of time to catch up with A Hui.
Yan Xiluo gripped her phone tightly. The people behind her were finally getting restless. She wanted to see what kind of drama was about to unfold.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Ah Hui arranged to meet the person she was supposed to see at the hospital.
Yu Ling followed at a safe distance, and then A Hui went into a ward and closed the door behind her.
There were three hospital beds in total. Ahui walked to the innermost one, and the curtains behind her were drawn.
Yu Ling knew she couldn't hear anything from so far away. The hospital wards all had balconies, but no security bars or anything like that were installed. The ward next door was empty, so she took the opportunity to go in and then climbed over from this balcony to Ahui's balcony.
Although the curtains were drawn, the window was open. Yu Ling crouched down to avoid being discovered. From the balcony, she could clearly hear the conversation inside, but unfortunately, she couldn't see what was happening inside.

On the other end, there's a lumbar support belt manufacturing plant.
Pang Jiayi and Ayu are also continuing to investigate the actions of these employees.
Last night, the other brothers also watched the surveillance footage from the previous night, and so far they haven't seen any unusual behavior from Lao Li.
There's another camera I haven't had a chance to look at yet; it's the one pointing directly at the factory gate.

"Ayan, I won't come to see you today. I'll stay home and keep Mom and Dad company."
To avoid worrying Lan Jingyan, Yan Xiluo didn't tell the truth; in fact, there was a big show to watch tonight.
"Okay, how about we video chat tonight? The company just got a new project today, and Ah Chen doesn't have much experience, so we can mentor him."
Lan Jingyan put down the documents in her hand and replied to Yan Xiluo's message.
"The video call tonight is fine."
Yan Xi's hands moved rapidly across the keyboard.
After taking care of some things, I planned to go downstairs to keep Yan Youting and Li Shuwen company.
downstairs
Yan Youting was on the phone.
"Fifth brother, did you hear me? Hurry up and go home so your older brother can rest!"
Before this, Yan Youting and Yan Yixing had been talking on the phone for more than ten minutes.
"Fine, fine! I'll go back! Okay? Why do you have to squeeze me dry out of all my brothers?"
Yan Yixing really couldn't understand it. He really didn't want to manage the company! He had a talent for business, but that didn't mean he liked it. He had things he liked that were much more interesting than business.
“Besides your eldest brother, you’re the only one with the knack for business. The others may not be good at business, but they’re all top performers in their respective fields. You’re the only one who’s always idle and never home. Don’t talk to me about being a gourmet; I don’t know anything about that.”
Yan Youting was somewhat disappointed in him. He was clearly so capable, having completed all his studies early on and attending one of the world's top universities, yet he insisted on idling around every day.
