ble as she stared at the man. His face was cold and serious, not a hint of jest in his expression.He saved her for the sake of the Fu family's reputation, why should she repay himFrowning, her delicat...Both parties are well aware of this.

Gu Liechen is a mission, Ye Xiao is hatred.

Driven by different motives, the two worked together step-by-step to design a plan to expose the true culprit.

However, now two paths lay before Night Owl.

Despite Lin Jinran's danger, he continued the mission until the mastermind was captured.

In order to save Lin Jin Yan, his identity was exposed, and all his previous efforts were in vain.

But, Ye Xiao he couldn't possibly ignore Lin Jinran's safety and choose another path!

Looking up at the overcast window, the night owl's black eyes were unusually persistent and resolute as he spoke in a low voice, "She is more important."

Gu Liechen disregarded everything else and blurted out, "Don't forget, everything you're doing now is to protect her!"

The night owl was slightly startled, his cold expression showing a trace of astonishment, "Really her"

Gu Liechen took a deep breath and admitted, "Yes, it's her."

A brief silence fell between them. Ye Xiao's low voice broke the quiet once more, "If it truly came to that, I would choose her."

After he finished speaking, he unilaterally hung up the phone.

Gu Liechen was stunned, and the sound of a disconnected beep in his earpiece came as a shock.

Holding his phone, he turned his head to look at the stars outside the window, feeling a sense of frustration and unease.

After a moment of silence, Gu Liechen returned to his office and opened the desk drawer, pulling out another phone to report the situation to his superiors.

The number was inputted, elongated fingers hovered over the keys but refused to press them.

Several seconds, which seemed incredibly long.

He moved his phone and pressed delete, erasing one by one.

He dialed another number and the call went through. "Nanjiang may have changed, send more people over there," he said.

After giving the order, Gu Liechen hung up his phone.

Hullabaloo, torrential rain poured down from the heavens.

The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy cool tones, easing the oppressive mood.

Lin Shan'er, leaning on the windowsill balcony, watched the heavy rain with boredom, her mind wandering elsewhere.

Footsteps approached from behind.

She turned her head and glanced at him, then turned back to the window. “By the way, did you do what I told you”

"It's all done. Here's the card, no loose ends." The bodyguard stopped in front of her, reporting.

Lin Shan'er nodded and felt relieved, "That's good."

She can make her money last for a while if she spends it carefully.

When that person's affairs are settled, I'll give her some money for her retirement. After that, whether she lives or dies will be none of my concern.

"By the way, what's going on with the Fu family now" Lin Shanger turned her head and looked up at the bodyguard, a smirk playing on her red lips. "You've been in Nanjiang for a long time, tell me about the Fu family now."

"This..." the bodyguard hesitated slightly.

Lin Shaner's voice turned cold, "What, it doesn't involve any secrets. It's something out in the open, I can't possibly not know"

The bodyguard said, “I know, and you probably know too, that now the Fu Group is under Fu Shaoqing's management, and there haven't been any other changes.”

Lin Shanshan nodded, and seemingly casually asked, "What about that child"

The bodyguard immediately understood, "You mean the child of Fu Mo Han and Lin Jin Ran"

"Yes, that's him."

The child was fostered with Ji Yun Ting.

"Hmph." Lin Shaner let out a cold snort. This child was living quite comfortably, being raised by Ji Yunting. Ji Yunting was the most trusted person of Lin Jinyao after all.

A venomous flash crossed Lin Shan'er's eyes. She looked up at the bodyguard and asked with a smile, "You guys, could you find an opportunity to grab the child I want to let them mother and child reunite."d walked toward the door, just as Xu Ronghua, who had put on his clothes, came out. The humiliation he had just suffered was instantly ignited.Zhang Tiezhu didn't say a word, he went up and grabbed Xu...
