Jiang Nuan looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Yan Xi is very smart and also very vicious. She has never failed in her targets, and if she has, it was on Mu Jiu Chen and you. Coincidentally, I encountered her both times. The people you sent to monitor her for so long found no problems, but we've encountered Yan Xi elsewhere. The places she mentioned for dining and the names of the dishes were problematic."
"For example, scrambled eggs with tomatoes might refer to Ji Dan Hotel on Xihong Road."
The other three: "..."
It really took a lot of imagination to think of something like that.
"A word of wisdom," Mu Jiu Chen smiled, looking at his wife with immense pride. "Wife, I never understood why Yan Xi studied food every day. Now that you've said it, I get it."
Jiang Nuan glanced at him, her tone sarcastic. "The fault of prejudice."
In Mu Jiu Chen's mind, it was normal for a vain woman like Yan Xi to study food every day, so he didn't think deeply about it.
"Yes!" Mu Jiu Chen generously admitted. He wasn't ashamed in front of his wife.
Someone was comforting himself, telling himself he was fine.
He Mingrun nodded and said, "Things are becoming clearer."
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly. There should be news from Number One soon.
She looked at Meng Yuan and reminded her, "Yuan Yuan, you absolutely cannot use the face you used at the research institute again. They will discover the samples are missing within these two days."
Yuan Yuan was lucky; Yan Qi had always been with her, and Jiang Nuan knew Yuan Yuan's every move.
"Okay! Nuan Nuan, I understand. Don't worry," Meng Yuan nodded. She knew it was dangerous back then, and she had used different faces.
This was the makeup skill Nuan Nuan had taught her.
"Mhm! Take good care of yourself, and try not to go out. The He family hasn't given up; Xia Xia is an example. After she got pregnant, she experienced many incidents. It was only after I faked an accident for her that she became safe. But yesterday, there was still an attempt to snatch Yun Qing from her home. The other party has never given up."
He Mingrun suddenly felt like he had been happy too soon.
Fortunately, he hadn't told the whole world yet.
Going back to the old house would also put Grandma Jia Mingxin in danger.
"Um... Nuan Nuan, I have another villa behind this one. Would it be safer if we moved in?" He thought of Li Qing Shuo's situation and realized it was his turn to worry about his wife.
Mu Jiu Chen smiled sarcastically at this, "You and Li Qing Shuo are truly shameless. You've sponged off of people for living, eating, and drinking, but I've never heard of sponging for safety." Did he think his Nuan Nuan was omnipotent?
He Mingrun immediately bristled, getting angry. "Mu Jiu Chen, you helped Li Qing Shuo. I'm your cousin, and we were born only a few days apart, so there's no seniority between us. With our close relationship, how can you bear to see your nephew and niece in danger?"
Mu Jiu Chen: "!!" This was a grave sin.
To be honest, an unintentional act is hard to guard against an intentional person.
Yun Xia's situation was a good precedent.
Jiang Nuan naturally didn't want Meng Yuan to have any accidents. She had only three best friends in her life. Yan Qi had been secretly protecting Yuan Yuan, and moving here would make it easier to take care of her.
"Yuan Yuan, then move over. This way, we'll have company living together. The villa you bought before is still relatively safe, but it's just been renovated, and you can't live in it while pregnant. The villas behind have been built for over ten years, so they'd be safer to live in."
Meng Yuan said, "Nuan Nuan, I don't want anything to happen to my child or Ming Run."
She knew it was very dangerous, and the other party was truly terrifying, with eyes and ears everywhere.
They were like a spiderweb, trapping what they wanted in the center. Once they had an opportunity, they would gradually approach their target, bite down on its vital point, and leave it no chance to fight back.
Her intuition had always been sharp. She had investigated many cases over the years, and she was truly lucky with this current one.
Only then could she complete it successfully.
"Don't worry, I can protect Xia Xia, and I will definitely protect you. Before you start showing, besides us knowing you're pregnant, don't tell anyone else. We will try our best to resolve the situation."
Meng Yuan nodded. "Mhm! I'm not taking on any more missions, and I'll also shut down all channels searching for me and erase all traces of myself." Meng Yuan didn't want to risk her child.
This matter was full of oddities.
It was a chain reaction, difficult to unravel.
"Wife, you certainly can't take on any more missions now. The only thing you need to do is rest well." He Mingrun didn't even want her to touch water now.
Meng Yuan smiled and nodded. "Mhm!"
"Oh, right, Nuan Nuan, I have a gift for you." He Mingrun took out the property deed and handed it to her with a smile. "Nuan Nuan, this is my gratitude. Thank you for protecting me that night, and for protecting the lifelong happiness of Yuan Yuan and me. Because of you, I can be so happy now."
Jiang Nuan looked at the shop's title deed in his hand and was slightly stunned. Last night, she had a good dream. She dreamt of a very large snake that she had put into a beautiful glass bottle.
The snake wanted to crawl out, but she firmly sealed the cap. Finally, it gave her a few defiant looks, and she even laughed triumphantly. The snake seemed not to have gotten out.
It turned out to be a prophecy of her financial gain; a large sum of money was coming her way.
Jiang Nuan knew that when He Mingrun acted, he was truly generous. The shop's location must be excellent.
She glanced at him lazily and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so polite. It's what friends do."
Meng Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "Nuan Nuan, stop pretending. Do you think only I know you love money? Hurry up and take it."
Jiang Nuan: "..." She touched her nose a little embarrassedly.
Good best friends were meant to betray you.
Tsk tsk tsk, she really didn't want others to know about her love for money.
To be honest, such a good thing, while it sounded good, was a heavy burden to accept.
Alas, she loved money, but she didn't like taking advantage of others!
"Look at what you're saying. Even if I were greedy, I wouldn't rob my friends," Jiang Nuan said with a smile to Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan was amused by her polite demeanor. "Take it, Nuan Nuan. Don't be so polite. I'm also very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, our misunderstanding would be hard to resolve. With my personality, I might never have turned back." The betrayal once was heartbreaking, and she was truly sad.
After Meng Yuan finished speaking, she saw a hint of smugness flash in Jiang Nuan's eyes.
Jiang Nuan curved her lips into a smile, her eyes sparkling. This was quite embarrassing.
Mu Jiu Chen saw Jiang Nuan hesitating and accepted it for her.
Jiang Nuan's eyes widened. "Mu Jiu Chen, do you lack this shop?"
Mu Jiu Chen turned his head to look at her. "Mingrun doesn't lack this shop either. I accepted it for you."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
He Mingrun, seeing that the matter was settled, pulled Meng Yuan up. "Let's go, Yuan Yuan, I want to take you somewhere."
