"Hehe, then I'll still call you Sister Yiyi! Looks like you haven't won her over yet, Fifth Brother?"
Most girls are quite shy about these kinds of things; they're easily embarrassed. Yan Xiluo quickly corrected her, then teased Yan Yixing a bit more.
"We just got together, and Yiyi is just shy! Yiyi, from now on you should call her 'little sister Luoluo,' it'll be more affectionate!"
Yan Yixing couldn't let himself lose face, so he had to find an excuse to make up for it.
Zheng Shuyi gave a soft "hmm".
"I call her fiancé Yan-ge because I'm younger than him. After they get married, he'll have to call me 'brother'. For now, please bear with me calling him Yan-ge. Later, he'll call you 'sister-in-law'!"
Yan Yixing then looked at Lan Jingyan beside him and said smugly, "Now that Yan Xiluo is here, Lan Jingyan has to maintain his image. No matter how much he jumps around, he won't be punished."
After all, Yan Xiluo could protect him and was his shield.
"Don't listen to Ah Xing, Miss Zheng can just call me by my name."
Lan Jingyan found it both infuriating and amusing; even in this situation, they still had the mind to make people laugh.
"good!"
Zheng Shuyi nodded politely.
"Fifth Brother, can you tell me now why you got involved with the Bloodthirsty Hall?"
Yan Xiluo asked the question that was on her mind: the Dark Night Gang and the Bloodthirsty Hall had no real grudges against each other, one was in France and the other was in Japan.
Yan Yixing, however, was injured in the United States.
"It's a long story. They had their eyes on a batch of goods in my possession and wanted to steal them, but they didn't have the power to do so. So they bribed someone close to me to give me a muscle relaxant, hoping to get rid of me and then hijack the goods."
Not long ago, there was an auction held in the United States. Yan Yixing specially put aside his domestic affairs and entrusted them to Yan Mingxuan, and came to the United States under the guise of a business trip to bid for that batch of valuable goods.
That batch of goods was highly sought after, with multiple gangs eyeing it covetously. He never imagined that the Bloodthirsty Gang would also travel all the way to the United States to participate in the bidding.
What was even more unexpected was that, after failing to win the bid, they even tried to steal it openly and secretly.
“That batch of goods was worth over a billion yuan, so naturally he couldn’t sit still. He didn’t have enough funds when he bid for it and lost to me, so he resents me a lot.”
However, the Bloodthirsty Hall is a gang without any bottom line; they will stop at nothing to gain profits.
Yan Yixing was still a bit too relaxed about the Bloodthirsty Hall and not vigilant enough, thinking that the Bloodthirsty Hall would be wary of the Dark Night Gang and would not dare to act rashly.
"Ha! The Bloodthirsty Hall lives up to its name; it's this skill that allows them to expand their power."
Yan Xiluo said sarcastically, "Among the dark forces, only the Bloodthirsty Hall is this shameless."
She never resorts to underhanded tactics; if someone wants to take something from her, she does it openly, letting them see for themselves that she takes it by her own skill.
"It's time to wipe out the Bloodthirsty Hall in one fell swoop."
Yan Yixing initially didn't want to get too involved in the Bloodthirsty Hall's affairs. As long as they behaved themselves and didn't provoke him, he wouldn't do anything to them.
This incident has led to the conclusion that people with malicious intentions should not be given the opportunity to harbor evil thoughts before they even take action.
"We need to consider this matter carefully."
Lan Jingyan's expression was somewhat solemn. They hadn't fully figured out the Bloodthirsty Hall yet, and to ensure everything went smoothly, they needed to investigate further.
While they were discussing these things, Zheng Shuyi had already gone to the kitchen, cut some fruit and brought it out. Anyway, she couldn't understand any of what they were saying.
"Let's all have some fruit first!"
Zheng Shuyi placed the fruit platter in front of them and poured several drinks.
"Thank you, Sister Yi!"
Seeing the exquisitely beautiful fruit platter, Yan Xiluo decided to eat some first, mainly because she was a glutton.
"You're welcome. Please continue your conversation. I still have some work to finish."
Zheng Shuyi smiled warmly, then left the living room.
"Little sister, where are you and Ayan planning to stay? Should I talk to Yiyi and ask her to let you stay here too?"
Yan Yixing was still worried about Yan Xiluo's safety and felt more at ease being together.
"Fifth Brother, we can't stay here. If we stay here, they won't have a chance to make a move. If they don't have a chance to make a move, we can't lure them out."
Yan Xiluo turned her eyes. She had just checked the situation and was quite certain that the leader of the Bloodthirsty Hall knew something and was very likely nearby.
Otherwise, someone should have made a move the moment Zheng Shuyi opened the door.
"Hmm, that makes sense! I was just outside, and the Bloodthirsty Hall members didn't make a move. They're quite patient. Logically speaking, they know that once I've recovered from my injuries, they'll definitely come back to kill me. So they wanted to take advantage of my serious injuries to get rid of me. The leader of the Bloodthirsty Hall is quite intelligent; he's a smart man, but unfortunately, he hasn't used his intelligence for good."
Yan Yixing rationally analyzed their purpose in staking out this spot; they were simply trying to take a gamble! Because in the end, it was either you die or I live! They were fighting for their last chance.
“Ah Xing, how safe is Miss Zheng’s secret room? I have a plan to implement that can lure out the leader of the Bloodthirsty Hall while ensuring Miss Zheng’s safety after we start fighting.”
Lan Jingyan suddenly had a plan. If she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, she had to do it convincingly.
"You'll have to ask Yiyi about that. I haven't asked her about the layout of this secret room yet, but I have a feeling that it's not simple. People outside can't find the entrance, and I have a feeling that besides the current exit, there's another exit leading to the outside of the villa."
After he woke up from his injuries, apart from recuperating every day and taking medicine to ease his body, he didn't have time to ask Zheng Shuyi about the layout of the secret room. Besides, they weren't even together yet, so it would be too presumptuous to ask directly. She might not even be willing to tell him.
Of course! If she doesn't want to talk about it right now, or doesn't trust him enough, he understands.
"Let's wait until Miss Zheng is done with her work before asking her. We've already bothered her enough by coming here."
Lan Jingyan thought that the secret room wasn't the most important thing for the time being; without it, they would definitely have to find another way. However, having a secret room would be better!
"Okay, let's discuss what our next move should be?"
Yan Yixing had already made up his mind, but now that Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo were also there, he had to say it and hear their opinions.
He can only act if it is feasible.
"Ah Xing, I just thought of a plan. You could...we...do this one last time..."
Lan Jingyan explained his strategy in one breath, which he believed was the best countermeasure at present.
"Brother Yan, we're really on the same page! I was just thinking the same thing!"
Yan Yixing was quite excited when he heard this! This was exactly the solution he had been thinking of! He was also a little worried that they might disagree.
