"What? Murong Mingyuan secretly interacting with the dark web?"
After hearing her subordinate's report, Su Nan Yin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Qian Fan.
Li Qian Fan, who was roughly dragged down, also had an expression of utter disbelief.
"Tell me in detail, what's going on?" Su Nan Yin said, deliberately turning on the loudspeaker.
The Dark Blade members conscripted by Li Wu Jiang were all elite forces of the military. After being transferred to Sijiu, they were secretly deployed to airports, train stations, hotels, clubs, and nightlife venues. There was also a Dark Blade operative stationed at Murong Mingyuan's "Mingyuan Nightclub".
Last night, this operative discovered a woman with suspicious behavior. The Dark Blade member noticed her by chance. After a sleet storm, the weather turned cold, and someone had spilled half a cup of milk tea on the steps of the nightclub. Once the milk tea froze, people stepping on it might slip and fall. This woman almost fell – but just as she was about to, she instinctively put her hands on the ground and, like a frog, sprang into the entrance of the hall.
"Last night, around midnight, I was preparing to finish my shift and return to my lodging when I saw this scene in the hall," the Dark Blade operative reported. "We immediately realized something was amiss and hid in the shadows, locking onto this woman."
This woman, who revealed a fatal flaw in a fleeting glimpse, was unaware that she had been targeted by the Dark Blade. She continued to dance and drink in the nightclub as if nothing had happened, and only left normally around four in the morning. The Dark Blade operative followed her discreetly to her residence but did not alert the snake. The members of the Dark Blade understood the principle of "casting a long line to catch a big fish" better than anyone.
"The woman's residence is in an apartment building," the operative continued. "An hour ago, she went to a women's lingerie store. It turns out she's the owner of that store. Just as I was figuring out her cover identity, I saw Murong Mingyuan, the owner of the Mingyuan Nightclub, enter the lingerie store. I immediately returned to the car across the street and used binoculars to monitor her through the glass."
The woman owned a lingerie store. Murong Mingyuan was also a woman. It was perfectly normal for a woman to shop at a women's lingerie store. Even if the woman had been to the Mingyuan Nightclub last night, and Murong Mingyuan visited her today, it didn't seem strange.
"However, after Murong Mingyuan entered the lingerie store, she didn't pick up any clothes but went directly into a fitting room. The lingerie store owner also followed her in without taking any merchandise. They spent about three minutes and thirty seconds inside. They came out one after another, and only then did Murong Mingyuan begin to choose lingerie," the operative said. "Since lingerie stores are generally places where men are not allowed, Murong Mingyuan's male bodyguards had to wait outside."
"Good," Su Nan Yin ordered. "Assign another female member to your team to closely monitor the lingerie store owner. Report any new developments to me immediately."
The call ended. Su Nan Yin put down her phone and, as if she hadn't received any call, began dragging Li Qian Fan to the ground again. With a thud, Li Qian Fan's buttocks and the back of his head landed on the floor simultaneously. Fortunately, there was a carpet, so it didn't hurt much. Even if it did hurt, Su Nan Yin wouldn't care! She was determined to drag out this ungrateful wretch who would turn his back on her once his pants were up. Damn it – but the immobilized man felt as heavy as a dead pig. By the time Su Nan Yin dragged him to the doorway, she was sweating from exertion.
Of course, she didn't actually intend to kick Li Qian Fan out of the Su family. If she did, a single phone call would bring her secretary, Su Xin, who lived in the front courtyard, rushing over. Feeling that she had tormented the young man enough, Su Nan Yin sat down in a chair, crossed her legs, and lit a cigarette. She looked down at him without speaking.
Li Qian Fan felt a sting of humiliation. Just a moment ago, he had stubbornly defended Murong Mingyuan as someone he could trust. In the next moment, the Dark Blade discovered her secretly interacting with people from the dark web! And he couldn't even blame Li San Tiao and the others who were "following" Murong Mingyuan. Because those few were men. Even with their abilities, they couldn't possibly monitor Murong Mingyuan's female connections, could they? This gave her an opportunity!
After finishing her cigarette, Su Nan Yin swung her foot lightly and asked, "Ungrateful wretch, do you have anything else to say?"
What could he say? The irrefutable facts were laid out before him, how could Li Qian Fan possibly respond! He thought Su Nan Yin would certainly press her advantage. Heh. Smart women wouldn't bother with that. Su Nan Yin walked over and slowly sat down beside him. "Kid, I know you don't trust that little mare at all. You were just being stubborn with me earlier because you were angry about the sacrifice I arranged for Mao Mao."
She was absolutely right.
"I admit, I handled this matter unethically," Su Nan Yin continued. "I also admit that I did it to completely control you. But no matter what, it's done. No matter how angry you are, it's too late. You can have all the grievances in the world with me. But I won't allow you to have any negative thoughts about Mao Mao."
Li Qian Fan blinked, still unsure of what to say.
"Don't worry about Murong Mingyuan for now. What you need to do is get up quickly and do what you should be doing." Su Nan Yin looked up at the ceiling, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I hope that from now on, when you come to the Su family, you can completely relax. Don't be afraid of me because of my ruthlessness or anything else. I swear to heaven, I will never harm you." She would never do anything detrimental to Li Qian Fan; heaven itself could guarantee it.
Su Nan Yin's outburst today had a reason. She had given Li Qian Fan everything she could. She was even willing to play the villain for him and do things that went against natural order. All she wanted was for Li Qian Fan to like the Su family. But this ungrateful wretch had already shown his dislike for being with her when they were at Mengyue. This was something Su Nan Yin could not accept!
"If you dare to hide from me or fear me again, just try me," she threatened fiercely. Then, Su Nan Yin stood up and, with effort, carried Li Qian Fan in her arms and placed him back on the bed. She then sat cross-legged beside him and massaged his legs.
"From now on, I will consider this place my home," Li Qian Fan said softly after a long pause.
Su Nan Yin retorted irritably, "Do I care?"
"You snake-like Guanyin who says one thing and means another." Li Qian Fan cursed, yawned, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already late at night, ten o'clock. If it weren't for Su Mao Mao helping him with "indescribable matters," he would have slept until the next morning. After finishing what needed to be done, Su Mao Mao quietly left.
Half an hour later, Su Nan Yin entered with dinner. Li Qian Fan could lift his hands now, but he still had to be fed by her.
"After a day of thorough investigation, it is now completely confirmed that Murong Mingyuan and the owner of the lingerie store have had multiple contacts before," Su Nan Yin said while feeding him lean meat soup. "My suggestion is not to act against her for now, but to observe her for a period of time and then decide."
*I will take her to the Black Water Forest. If necessary, I will make sure she stays there forever.* Li Qian Fan thought to himself, then nodded and said to Su Nan Yin, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"That's a good boy," Su Nan Yin pinched his cheek and said coquettishly, "As long as brother is good, sister will be good too."
Li Qian Fan – quickly closed his eyes. He wasn't afraid of Su Nan Yin's stern demeanor, but he was afraid of her acting cutesy. After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qian Fan continued to play dead. Su Nan Yin continued to massage his arms and legs. After he gradually fell asleep, she rubbed her sore waist and quietly left.
Back in her own room, Su Nan Yin took out Li Qian Fan's phone. She turned it on (the password had been changed while he was unconscious). Li Qian Fan, in his condition, obviously couldn't use his phone. But he couldn't disappear either, or it would arouse suspicion from others. In the early mornings and late evenings, Su Nan Yin would impersonate Li Qian Fan to reply to his friends or send greetings. It could be said without exaggeration – Li Qian Fan had virtually no secrets from Su Nan Yin!
"Master, Mei Nu misses you." After seeing this message, Su Nan Yin sneered. She typed: "How much do you miss me?"
Jiao Yin replied: "I miss you so much I can't sleep."
Su Nan Yin replied: "Send me some beautiful pictures. Let me see how much you miss me."
