"Alright!" Ying responded in a deep voice.
Lan Yuxi glanced at Lan Musi's hand sneaking into his pocket. "Lan Musi, if you dare to tell Mom and Dad right now, I'll stir up trouble between you and Zheng Pei Pei!"
Lan Musi, startled, quickly withdrew his hand.
Lan Yuxi pouted her lips with annoyance and said to Ying on the phone, "See you at Nan's Airport in forty minutes."
"Yes!"
Lan Yuxi hung up the phone and looked at Lan Musi. "Give me forty minutes, then you can tell whoever you want. Also, you know how to tell everyone, right?"
"Of course, I'll tell them the truth. If Dad and Nan Xiao find it inappropriate, they'll make the decision."
Lan Yuxi pouted. "I knew you wouldn't speak well of me. Fine, tell them the truth then. Anyway, I've already made arrangements on the other side, and you heard it. Also, Nan Xiao doesn't need you to tell him; I'll tell him myself."
"Tell him before boarding the plane?"
"Absolutely! Otherwise, do you think I could leave?" Lan Yuxi swung her little head and smiled at Lan Musi. "If you want to get married to Pei Pei sooner, cooperate with me. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait until Pei Pei finishes her doctorate!"
Lan Musi asked suspiciously, "Do you really have a way to get her to marry me immediately?"
"Believe it or not!"
"Then your second brother's happiness is in your hands!"
Lan Yuxi smiled and nodded. "As long as you cooperate with me, this matter is easily handled!"
Lan Musi smiled and tossed his phone onto the table. "Here's your phone. I'll go arrange my assistant's afternoon classes."
Lan Yuxi gave him a probing look before nodding.
"Then I'll go straight to class. Just put the phone in the drawer when you leave," Lan Musi said, pulling open the door and walking out.
Lan Yuxi tidied up some documents, put the unfinished ones into her bag, then tossed Lan Musi's phone into the drawer before getting up and leaving.
Forty minutes later, a small private jet took off from Nan's Airport. By the time Nan Xiao arrived, there wasn't a soul to be seen.
He kicked the guardrail in anger.
"You couldn't stop her either?" Lan Haolin's icy voice came from behind.
Nan Xiao turned his head and saw Lan Haolin, along with Lan Muguo and Lan Xiao Liu, also arriving. He shook his head helplessly.
"She didn't even call me. Nan Yi only knew where she was going when we got to the airport. By the time I received his call and rushed over, she was already gone."
"Ah! These two children are too daring!"
Nan Xiao froze slightly. "Second Brother went with Xi Bao?"
"Xi Er had no intention of taking him. He forced the pilot to get on the plane," Lan Haolin said, giving Lan Mushang a look.
Lan Xiao Liu understood and, with his subordinates, headed straight for the airport's storage room.
Lan Haolin looked at Nan Xiao, whose expression wasn't very good, and his voice softened slightly. "Second Brother said that although their trip was rushed, Xi Er had everything arranged. You don't need to worry, and don't send anyone over, lest it disrupt her plan."
Nan Xiao glanced at the dozens of bodyguards behind his father-in-law and twitched his mouth. "Are you planning to chase after them with so many people?"
"...This is a matter for the Lan and Ling families. I have to go."
"Ding—"
Nan Xiao heard a notification sound and quickly took out his phone.
"Dad, let's not go. Xi Bao has enough people over there to form a battalion. If we go, we might just get in the way." Nan Xiao handed his phone to Lan Haolin after reading the message.
Lan Haolin frowned as he read the message, then turned and got into the car he had arrived in.
Nan Xiao sighed and picked up his phone, calling Nan Xiangxi.
"Xiangxi, Xi Bao has taken Nan Yi to Country R. Have our people in Country R protect her from the shadows. If they detect anything unusual, they should alert Nan Yi immediately."
"Yes!"
"When will Xiang Nan be back from Myanmar approximately?"
"In a week."
Nan Xiao calculated the time and silently hung up the phone. In a week, he would be taking over that position. Xiang Nan's return was perfectly timed.
In the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lan Haolin was also on the phone.
"Miss and Second Young Master have gone. You must protect her!"
"Yes!"
"Has Ling Qiankun made any appearances recently?"
"No, he hasn't contacted Ling Du."
"You must keep a close watch on them. If Miss and Second Young Master have any accidents, you don't need to report to me!"
"Yes!"
"Contact Second Young Master immediately if anything unusual is detected."
"Yes!"
After his father finished his call, Lan Muguo said in a deep voice, "Dad, let me go. Eldest Brother has the entire Lan Corporation on his shoulders; he shouldn't be put in danger."
Lan Haolin shook his head. "You can't handle this. He didn't go directly to Country R; he went to Saint Island."
Lan Muguo's eyes widened sharply. "Is he going to confront Ling Qiankun head-on?"
"He's not on the island, but Xi'er is very likely to force him back to the island."
"You mean Xi'er is definitely going to take action against the Ling family this time?" Lan Muguo said, pushing the car door open as if to get out.
Lan Haolin grabbed his shoulder. "Don't go and cause trouble!"
"Dad! Xi'er is too dangerous; I must go and protect her!"
"In terms of martial arts, you're no match for Xi'er. In terms of strategy, ten of you combined aren't as good as her. If you go, who will be protecting whom? You protecting her, or her protecting you?"
Lan Muguo angrily punched his own head. "If I knew I'd become my sister's burden, I would have studied martial arts properly when I was young."
Lan Haolin glared at him irritably. "Don't blame yourself, and don't be so self-deprecating. At least your mother and Xi'er like your cooking."
Lan Muguo, seeing his father's teasing, wished he could dig a hole and disappear.
Seeing that Lan Xiao Liu had found the pilot, Nan Xiao returned to his car, but his heart remained uneasy, fearing that Lan Yuxi would encounter danger.
Halfway through the journey, Nan Xiao finally couldn't resist and took out his phone to make a call.
On the private jet, after Lan Yuxi reviewed all the test results, she turned to Ying and said, "Prepare a batch of those medicines according to the dosage, and the last medicine... 0.5 grams..."
"No! The dosage of the last medicine must be confirmed after seeing the patient. If someone dies, the trouble will be immense!"
Lan Yuxi heard a familiar voice and suddenly turned to look at the pilot flying the plane.
"How is it you!"
"It has to be me! I absolutely cannot let you go alone."
Lan Yuxi pouted. "Nan Yi, you'll be responsible for protecting him after we land."
Nan Yi opened his mouth, and after a while, he reluctantly replied, "Yes!"
Lan Musi frowned slightly. "I don't need anyone's protection. I'm here to protect you."
Lan Yuxi sighed. "Alright, then you're not allowed to leave my side."
"Absolutely. If I'm far from you, how can I protect you?"
Lan Yuxi's mouth twitched, and she waved her hand at Ying, who was watching the scene with amusement.
