Half a year ago, following the plan she had made with Han Yu and Fatty, Rou Yi returned to the United States from Nepal and brought the news of Daniel's death, as well as the unfortunate experiences of the scientific expedition team at Devil's Mountain Col, back to the z organization.

She didn't mention monsters, the living dead, immortality, or meteorites—things that were hard for people to imagine. She kept some of what they saw and heard in the underground palace to herself.

Rou Yi told everyone a strange story about a primitive tribe that carved into the mountains to live there, only to be completely erased from the river of history by an earthquake. She fabricated stories about radiation, the failure of detection equipment, and the secrets of the "water droplets," one after another.

Many people in the z organization were skeptical of this story, because no one would go to the trouble of moving to a difficult and bitterly cold place. It didn't make sense logically.

If this primitive tribe went to the trouble of migrating just for a myth, that would be foolish enough, but it matched the mindset of people who believed in heaven, earth, and spirits more than five years ago.

With Daniel's ring as corroboration, Rou Yi's vivid story, plus the major earthquake that occurred in the Himalayas that destroyed Devil's Mountain Col, meant that verification was almost impossible. The higher-ups of the z organization basically believed Rou Yi's words.

The information Rou Yi brought brought the z organization's nearly century-long exploration of the Himalayas to a close.

The valuable news Rou Yi provided also earned her a corresponding reward. The z organization agreed to Rou Yi's requests, one of which was to re-accept Rou Yi into the organization, take over Daniel's research, and stop hunting down the descendants of the Molmont expedition team.

The z organization readily agreed.

Rou Yi's request to take over Daniel's research was proposed by Han Yu when the three of them were discussing countermeasures in the village in Nepal.

Because after Rou Yi took over Daniel's research, no one would restart the research on the Himalayas unless she nodded, which was actually a disguised way of protecting themselves.

Although Rou Yi was in the z organization, she grew even more disgusted after learning about some of the organization's other misdeeds.

During her time back in the United States, she had been handling her father's family business, transferring some and selling others, trying to get the business out of the z organization's control as much as possible. Although she was running around every day and was extremely tired, she had basically cleaned up all the assets after half a year of effort.

Now Rou Yi and her classmate Richard's business was completely free from the z organization.

…

Li Decha drove the car to the front of Rou Yi's own detached villa and left after dropping off Rou Yi, Fatty, and Han Yu.

Rou Yi said to Fatty and Han Yu, "Today, I specially asked the nanny to make a big meal to welcome you and wash away the dust."

Fatty and Han Yu were indeed a little hungry. They had only cared about sleeping on the plane and hadn't eaten much.

Rou Yi was really generous, preparing all kinds of top-notch ingredients, such as Kobe steak and sturgeon caviar, all of which were things that ordinary people couldn't afford. Although Rou Yi said that she had asked the nanny to make a table of food, she had actually hired a chef to do it.

Even the most picky Fatty was full of praise, gobbling down steak, caviar, exquisite desserts, and red wine, completely ignoring the dietary requirements set by his boxing coach.

"Putting everything else aside, the treatment we're getting from this foreign miss is really worth this friendship," Fatty praised vaguely, with a piece of beef still in his mouth.

Rou Yi rolled her eyes at Fatty. "Eating can't shut you up."

Although Han Yu thought it was delicious, she wasn't as gluttonous as Fatty. She and Rou Yi basically maintained the same eating speed. When Rou Yi put down her knife and fork, Han Yu was basically full too.

Rou Yi had let the nanny leave work early, so only the three of them were left in the three-story mansion.

Han Yu couldn't wait to know why Rou Yi had invited them, so she simply said directly to Rou Yi, "Tell us the reason you wanted us to come to the United States."

Rou Yi deliberately pouted in an exaggerated manner and used lip language to tell Fatty and Han Yu: Someone is listening.

Then Rou Yi said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. We haven't seen each other for too long. I miss you very much, so I invited you to come and play. How about I take you out for a walk after dinner?"

Rou Yi then hinted at Fatty and Han Yu with her eyes.

Fatty and Han Yu understood.

Some people in the z organization didn't believe Rou Yi's story, so they sent people to monitor and eavesdrop on Rou Yi's every move, which Rou Yi saw.

The enemy was in the dark, and she was in the light. Rou Yi had been living cautiously and struggling during this time.

The three of them walked on the sidewalk of the park near Rou Yi's mansion. There was no one around, and it was very quiet.

After listening to Rou Yi's description of the hardships of her life since returning to the United States, as well as the feeling of walking on thin ice when dealing with the z organization, Fatty and Han Yu both sympathized with Rou Yi's experience.

Fatty thought to himself that rich people didn't have an easy life either, but he didn't say this, because saying it would definitely earn him eye rolls from both women.

"So, you called us here to help you deal with the z organization?" Han Yu asked with concern.

Rou Yi shook her head, then sighed, and said, "No, I'm not such a selfish person. If it was just because of these things, I could handle it myself."

After she finished speaking, Rou Yi lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something.

Fatty and Han Yu didn't ask any more questions, but they silently waited for Rou Yi to give them an answer, a reason why she had to bring Fatty and Han Yu from China to the United States from so far away.

Rou Yi calmed herself down slightly, thought it over again and again, and said, "How about this? Tomorrow, I'll take you to see someone. After you see him, you'll know the reason."
