Chen Feng smiled, he really wasn't suited to be by Master's side.
Xiao Fan was the one most suited to be by Master's side.
The key was, he really missed his girlfriend.
Xiao Fan had been busy with his romance lately, Chen Feng was so envious.
He longed for the idyllic days of shopping, dining, and watching movies with his girlfriend.
"Master! By the time I realized it, it was too late. I just can't understand how anyone could have known we were holding the person here? And they rescued the person before we even arrived."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he passed out.
Mu Jiu Chen could only carry him back to the car and shove him inside.
Was there a mole by his side, or a mole by Chen Feng's side?
Mu Jiu Chen thought carefully about the details. Only he and Chen Feng knew about this trip.
But where exactly did the problem lie?
Mu Jiu Chen drove around the dock but found nothing.
He could only drive back and leave Chen Feng at the hotel.
Back in the car, he called Xiao Fan. It seemed the trap he had set up before coming hadn't ensnared Mu Yun Feng.
Mu Yun Feng was currently busy rescuing Mu Yi Chen and likely didn't have time to pull Xiao Fan into his team.
Xiao Fan had been someone they had been watching for a long time.
"Ninth Master!" Xiao Fan's voice was filled with delight.
Mu Jiu Chen: "How are things on your end?"
Xiao Fan: "President, everything is as usual!"
Mu Jiu Chen narrowed his eyes. "You come over tomorrow and switch that idiot Chen Feng back."
"Oh!" Xiao Fan's voice immediately dropped as if falling into an abyss.
As expected, Master couldn't stand to see him living a good life.
"Alright, Master, I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning."
Mu Jiu Chen hung up the phone and drove back.
Not far away, Hong Bin's car followed Mu Jiu Chen. A cold glint flickered in his eyes. Well done, Mu Jiu Chen, I underestimated you.
Ye An Ran also followed Mu Jiu Chen, but once they returned to the city, she didn't continue tracking.
She parked her car on the roadside and called Chu Yun Ying.
Chu Yun Ying already knew that Hong Bin had rescued the person. Waiting was always the most agonizing part.
Her heart felt like it was being roasted over a fire, so uncomfortable.
Just as her heart settled down, her phone rang, startling her again.
She quickly grabbed her phone and answered.
Ye An Ran smiled, listening to Chu Yun Ying's slightly rapid breathing. So, she was also very nervous.
"Ying Ying, I didn't expect you to be so capable, rescuing everyone in just half an hour. I witnessed the entire process. I'm very curious who is helping you from behind the scenes? If possible, we can become allies."
Chu Yun Ying would not expose Hong Bin. Exposing him would be equivalent to pushing herself into a dead end.
"Ran Ran, you also know I don't have any powerful backing. The only person I like is Mu Jiu Chen, but he doesn't like me, nor would he easily do anything for me. I found a human resources headhunting company, and they do things for money."
One must always keep a backup with everyone, this was an experience her father had once told her.
Because in this world, no one is truly sincere to anyone else.
Only by keeping a backup for everything would be the best for oneself.
Ye An Ran failed to get any information, and her expression turned grim.
Chu Yun Ying appeared simple in all her actions, but she was extremely shrewd.
"I see. Have you had dinner yet? If not, let's have dinner together and discuss what to do next?" Ye An Ran proactively extended an olive branch.
Chu Yun Ying narrowed her eyes, recalling the scene at the hospital where she had used hypnosis on Ye An Ran. This meant that Ye An Ran didn't know she knew hypnosis.
But the real Ye An Ran knew about it.
Chu Yun Ying immediately devised a plan. Ye An Ran asking her out was undoubtedly to threaten her with today's events.
Then, she would find out who this Ye An Ran really was!
And threaten her in return!
Chu Yun Ying smiled and agreed, "Okay, where should we have dinner? I'll come out now."
"I'll send you the address. See you soon." Ye An Ran hung up the phone, saved the recording on her phone, and then took out a recording pen before sending the dinner location to Chu Yun Ying.
Thinking of Jin Yan wanting to make chicken soup for Jiang Nuan, she felt so angry she wanted to kill Jiang Nuan.
She was even more furious at Jin Yan's disloyalty and betrayal, but all of this would pass. As long as she got her revenge, she wouldn't have to suffer so much.
...
When Jiang Nuan woke up, it was already dark outside.
Opening her eyes, she saw a familiar dark silhouette by the bed.
"You're awake!" Mu Jiu Chen slowly helped her sit up.
"Mmm!" Jiang Nuan looked at him. "What were you thinking about alone?"
Mu Jiu Chen shared his doubts. "I was wondering if there's a mole among us. I found the person who hurt you that day, but when I rushed there, the person had already been rescued."
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. "How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Yes, only you and Chen Feng knew about going to the dock today. I received a call at home, and he didn't reveal any information from his end either. I can't figure out where the problem lies."
He had been sitting here racking his brain since he returned.
Finally, he cast his gaze towards the wardrobe.
Jiang Nuan understood from his gaze and said softly, "You suspect our surroundings have been bugged?"
Mu Jiu Chen nodded slightly. "Chen Feng is usually meticulous. I only mentioned going to the airport dock at home."
Jiang Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the other party discovered it in advance and rescued the person before you went."
Mu Jiu Chen had also considered this possibility. He was annoyed for a moment that the information had been lost.
Jiang Nuan smiled and kissed the corner of his lips, her voice hoarse. "Don't worry too much. They will still make a move against me. Next time, you must find evidence."
Mu Jiu Chen held her tightly, his voice icy. "Don't put yourself in danger. You only think about evidence and never consider me."
Mu Jiu Chen felt like he wanted to tie her up at home whenever he thought of her reckless behavior.
"Mmm! Let's go, down for dinner, I'm hungry." Jiang Nuan was genuinely hungry.
Mu Jiu Chen: "Okay!"
As they went downstairs, Jin Yan and the others had already eaten. There was a banquet tonight, and Jin Yan was accompanying Lu Si Cheng to it.
Her three elder brothers had also not returned.
Grandfather had gone to the manor to relax. The entire house was occupied only by Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen's family of four.
After the servants served the food, they retreated.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen sat facing each other and ate.
A moment later, Jiang Nuan received a message from Yan Qi.
[Sister, Chu Yun Ying and Ye An Ran are having dinner together.]
Jiang Nuan looked at it, a little surprised.
"Chu Yun Ying and Ye An Ran have made up."
Mu Jiu Chen: "Oh!"
Jiang Nuan smiled and looked at him. "Just 'oh,' and nothing else?"
Mu Jiu Chen didn't want to discuss these two women. "Eat, talking about these two is disgusting."
Jiang Nuan gazed at him with a deep smile for a moment before continuing to eat.
At the restaurant, after finishing their meal, Chu Yun Ying took the initiative to pour tea for Ye An Ran.
She gazed deeply into Ye An Ran's eyes. If one looked closely, these eyes were nothing like An Ran's.
An Ran's eyes were large and beautiful, and her temperament was different. An Ran's eyes always held a hint of arrogance, an arrogance that matched her talent.
Ye An Ran faltered for a moment, as if sinking into darkness.
