"Wife." With a wronged voice, Lan Yuxi entire body fell into a warm embrace.
Lan Yuxi grabbed his nape in return, trying to pull him up and throw him out with all her might, but Nan Xiao's feet were as if rooted, not moving an inch.
Lan Yuxi furrowed her brow slightly, and with her other hand, she pinched a few golden needles and aimed them at Nan Xiao's lower abdomen.
Nan Xiao was faster than her, reaching out to grasp her hand.
"You are Lan Yuxi right now, not Mei Xi, aren't you?"
"It's none of your business who I am. If you dare to do anything to betray me, you'll just wait to die!"
Nan Xiao twisted both her hands behind her back and in a blink of an eye, he moved from behind her to in front of her. "If you wanted to kill me, the moment you broke through the window, Nan Er would have lost his life. You must have also found out what Nan Xiao and I could find out. Otherwise, those two people wouldn't have appeared at Nan Xiaole's home, and I wouldn't have received the warning call."
Lan Yuxi kicked out, but before her foot could touch Nan Xiao, he directly pushed her against the wall.
"Wife, won't you come back? Zhao and Mu Mu are very worried about you."
A cold glint flashed in Lan Yuxi's eyes. "If you care about them, then don't pretend to be dead here!"
"I still have important things to do."
"I'll do your important things! You go home and take care of the children!"
"No... mm..."
Nan Xiao didn't expect her to kiss him in front of Nan Er. When he realized she was trying to trick him again, he went limp on the ground. He watched helplessly as she jumped out the window.
"Lan Yuxi!" Nan Xiao looked at the open window with despair.
Nan Er sighed softly. He wanted to get out of bed to help him up, but as soon as he removed the equipment from his body, it would alarm.
"Master, can you get up yourself? Should I call someone to come in?"
Nan Xiao shook his head weakly. "Why does she always have to bear all of this alone?"
"Isn't that what you want from the person you love?"
"The person I love isn't like this. I want her to live under my protection and live a peaceful life."
"But your identity dictates otherwise. If it were any other woman, she would have been devoured without even a trace of bone left."
Nan Xiao gave a bitter smile. "Call Lan Mu Lun and have him come over. Without the antidote, I'm afraid I won't recover until tomorrow."
Nan Er didn't dare to delay, picked up his phone, and dialed.
On a luxury cruise ship in the vast Pacific Ocean, Hong Feng, wearing a mask, was in high spirits, sipping red wine. Hearing footsteps outside, he raised his eyelids and looked towards the doorway.
"Did it work?"
The butler walked in timidly. "Replying to Master, before our people could make a move, they were wiped out!"
Hong Feng raised his hand, and half a bottle of red wine flew out, splattering all over the floor.
The butler took a step back in fear.
Hong Feng said coldly, "Nan Xiao is half dead, and Lan Yuxi is nowhere to be found. Who has such great ability to wipe out our people? The Lan family? Or the Nan family?"
"Although Nan Zhenting and Lan Haolin have arrived in China, it wasn't their people who wiped out ours, but a mysterious unit arranged by Ming Zicheng..."
"Mysterious unit?" Hong Feng's fingers creaked as he squeezed them. After a pause, he asked, "Why would Fu Rui Xi and Ji Bai appear at Nan Xiaole's house?"
"I don't know. When our people made their move, there were only Nan Xiaole and his wife in the room. How about I call the second young master and ask him?"
"Don't contact him! If he gets exposed, we'll lose our last source of information."
"Then shall I send a few more people to investigate?"
Hong Feng waved his hand. "No need to waste time on insignificant people. Let them die. Anyway, Lan Yuxi has already been provoked. As long as Nan Xiao dies and she refuses to help the Nan family, the Nan family will be destroyed!"
"Yes!"
A cold glint flashed in Hong Feng's sinister eyes. "Nan Corporation is holding a shareholder meeting tomorrow. Inform them that we will act tonight and seize several major projects of Nan Corporation. I want to make those shareholders collectively challenge Nan Zhenting, that old man and his junior."
"Yes!" The butler bowed and withdrew.
However, before the butler could even make the call, the cruise ship sank to the bottom of the sea after a few loud explosions.
Immediately after, several cannonballs attacked from different directions, illuminating the dark sea with firelight.
Lan Yuxi, sitting in front of the screen, frowned slightly. "Didn't I tell you to capture them alive? Why did you sink the ship?"
"Mistress Xi, it wasn't our people who sank the cruise ship."
"Nan Xiao's people?"
"Yes."
Lan Yuxi picked up her phone and dialed. "Lan Mu Lun, did you give Nan Xiao the antidote?"
"Xi'er, you finally contacted us!" Lan Liu's extremely excited voice came through the phone.
"Are you with Nan Xiao?"
"No, after I gave him the antidote, I went home. Xi'er, the matter has been resolved. Hurry back and see Mu Mu. Mu Mu has cried until her eyes are swollen and her throat is inflamed. I took her temperature just now, and she has a fever of 38 degrees."
Lan Yuxi's heart ached violently. She closed her eyes, then said, "Help me take care of her. I still have some cleanup work to do here."
"Xi'er, when did you become so heartless? Are you Lan Yuxi or Mei Xi?"
Lan Yuxi rubbed her throbbing head and hung up the phone with her thumb.
"Lan Yuxi, you should go back. I'll handle the rest," Mei Xi's cold voice echoed in Lan Yuxi's mind.
Lan Yuxi, holding her exploding head, roared in pain, "Get out! I'd rather die with you than let you out again."
"Heh heh... you can bear to lose Nan Xiao and those two little brats?"
"Mei Xi!" Lan Yuxi, with great difficulty, took out a golden needle and gave Ying a look.
A rare solemnity appeared on Ying's face.
Lan Yuxi nodded at him, then painstakingly pointed to several red dots on the screen.
Ying understood and nodded. Then, with lightning speed, he grabbed the needle and plunged it towards Lan Yuxi's head.
"Ying! How dare you!" Mei Xi roared sharply.
"Ying, act!" Lan Yuxi looked at Ying pleadingly.
Ying watched Lan Yuxi, who was about to fight herself, harden her heart and inserted the needle.
Lan Yuxi immediately collapsed onto the table.
Nan Yi flashed out from the shadows and bent down to pick her up. "Ying, I'll leave this to you. I'll take the Mistress home. If she doesn't go back soon, the household will fall into chaos."
Ying looked at his trembling hands and said in a deep voice, "Nan Yi, I have betrayed my master. I deserve to die. You handle this. I'll go to the base to accept my punishment."
Nan Yi frowned slightly. "Are you an idiot! The Mistress is also your master. This order came from her. You haven't betrayed anyone. Hurry up and contact the family head to eliminate Hong Feng's remnants as soon as possible. Only by eradicating them can we have a peaceful life."
