Jinling.
After Qin Shiyin received Ye Longlin's call, she made no move. Instead, she continued to flatten the incense ash, placed the incense seal on it, and slowly flattened the ash before taking down the incense seal. She then lit a stick of incense and lit the incense ash.
"Uncle Mingde."
Qin Shiyin called out slowly.
In the ancient house not far away, a middle-aged man walked over and bowed slightly, "Miss."
"Prepare the car. We're going to Chang'an. Have the people from Jiutian Yunxiao prepare accommodation, and also, have them gather all information about the Dark Hall in Chang'an and deliver it to me before we arrive."
Qin Shiyin commanded slowly, her ethereal voice like that of a lark.
A breeze blew, lifting the white curtains around the pavilion, adding more classical beauty.
"Miss, General Qin said not to let you leave here."
Qin Mingde said helplessly. He was Qin Hanlie's man, specially assigned to take care of Qin Shiyin. He was once Qin Hanlie's confidant, but after being injured in the Hetu battle, he had to retreat. He had stayed behind ever since.
Qin Shiyin snorted and placed her teacup heavily on the table, making a crisp sound!
"Uncle Mingde, you are my butler now."
Qin Mingde was left speechless. He opened his mouth and, as a compromise, said, "Then can I inform General Qin?"
Qin Shiyin: "What do you think?"
"Fine, fine. You've been here for so many years. You should see the outside world. When are we leaving?"
Qin Mingde said with a helpless expression. He looked up at the sky. This mansion was Qin Shiyin's prison, but it was also his. He rarely went out all these years, but at least he was not unfamiliar with the outside world.
As for Miss, she had never been out in all these years. Fortunately, the short video industry was developing rapidly, so at least she could know what the outside world was like.
"Now," Qin Shiyin declared decisively.
"Then I'll go prepare the car."
After speaking, Qin Mingde turned and left.
In the capital.
Lin Tian'ai, who had just come out of the conference room, received a call from Ye Longlin. Although he needed her help, she had nothing to say and agreed directly!
Lin Tian'ai's business empire had already taken shape. It was listed on Nasdaq last December, and now the group's market value was 200 billion.
It was also a large group.
She had managed to establish herself in the capital on her own, reaching this point in just two years. She was now a subject of China Business Times and Finance Channel.
She was adorned with various titles such as successful entrepreneur, youngest trillion-dollar leader, and aloof female CEO.
The downfall of the Ye family also allowed Lin Tian'ai to snatch a camel leg from the Ye family camel, bringing her market value close to 300 billion.
"Xiao Qin, get ready. We're going to Chang'an."
Xiao Qin was Lin Tian'ai's assistant.
Xiao Qin was stunned. "General Manager Lin, are we going to Chang'an to inspect projects? Which company is it? I'll arrange the schedule right away."
Lin Tian'ai stopped and shook her head slightly. "We're going to explore the market there. As for personnel, it'll just be you and me for now."
Xiao Qin nodded. "Okay, General Manager Lin."
Back in her office, Lin Tian'ai stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes somewhat distant.
She had also come to terms with Ye Longlin's disappearance over the past two years. Her best friend Mu Hanqi had already married Ye Longlin and had a child. She shouldn't disturb them, and she had also decided that she would never get married in this lifetime, even if she kept a gigolo.
Marriage... she would not have such thoughts.
Moreover, he had already let go.
If she hadn't encountered these things along the way, she wouldn't be where she was today.
Everyone she met on her life's journey taught her something. Just like Ye Longlin and Mu Hanqi, they taught her never to underestimate anyone, and never to trust those around her too much, as they might betray her at any time.
Although, this could not be considered a betrayal by Mu Hanqi.
No one could stop someone from liking another person.
"I hope you can bring me some gains."
In the Murong family.
After hanging up, Mu Ye looked at the chessboard in front of him and stood up to stretch his neck.
"Alright, that's all for today. I have something to do. I'm going to get some exercise."
Murong Qingfeng rolled his eyes. "I say Beiye, you can't do this. Every time you can't beat me, you use this excuse. Can you still have some demeanor of a family head!"
Mu Ye chuckled. "I really have something to do this time. I'm going to Chang'an. While I'm away, I'll leave the Murong family to you."
Murong Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and became anxious. "No, I say, elder brother, why are you going to Chang'an? To dig up graves? I advise you, this is illegal!"
"Get lost!"
"Let me tell you, the capital now is not what it used to be. They've become much more restrained. You need to be careful. You also need to execute the Murong family's future plans cautiously and don't go too far. If Ye Longlin comes to deal with you, I won't be responsible.
Also, keep an eye on those people in the family. I need to know what they know before I get back. Don't mess around!"
Murong Qingfeng nodded, realizing that he was indeed going to Chang'an, so he said directly, "Alright, I know. Are you bothering me? If you want to go, hurry up. Let me taste the feeling of power, and maybe you'll retire early, then you'll have time to play."
Dragon Pavilion.
Yuan Gang selected a portion of the people, and Xuan Niao also selected a portion. Xuan Wu remained in the capital to oversee it.
Since Xuan Wu took on the important responsibility, Yuan Gang was happy to let him hold that position.
In the Dragon Pavilion, it wasn't that no one looked down on this position, but rather that holding this position was too tiring, so no one wanted it.
During the two years Ye Longlin was missing, Xuan Wu was the only high-ranking official, so he had to take the position even if he didn't want to.
"Black Dragon, come with me. What about your side?"
Yuan Gang stood at the entrance of the Dragon Pavilion, smoking and asking.
"Red Dragon Guard."
If nothing else, these two still had some resemblance to a couple.
Xuan Niao's confidante, Qing Luan, had died on the battlefield, and her strongest team, the Red Dragon Guard, was the only one she could lead herself.
"I don't know why the boss wants us to go there, and even asked us to bring elites. Is the boss going to deal with someone again?"
Yuan Gang grinned and chuckled. For them, a day of idleness was uncomfortable and unnatural. They spent most of their time in the training base.
"We'll know when we get there. Why are you talking so much nonsense? The boss asked us to go, so let's go."
