"Hmm," Huo Lan You gazed out the car window with a sense of relief, feeling a sudden release of tension at the thought of finally going home. "I've been drifting around for so many years; it really is time to go back. Moreover, I don't want Lian to suffer any longer..."
"Then you plan to take that man and Xiao Xun back with you?" Duan Xu's deep voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "You think that once you inherit the Huo Lan family, you can take good care of and protect him. A big man still needs a woman's protection, huh..."
"You wouldn't understand. Lian is not like you; he has no memory. But I believe that given time and opportunity, he won't be inferior to you in any way," Huo Lan You was slightly displeased with his sarcasm but did not get angry, merely expressing her true feelings. "So what if he is? As long as I have money and power, he loves me, and as long as he stays by my side forever, belongs to me and only me, that's all that matters."
Duan Xu's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly as he fell into deep thought. It was undeniable that the aura emanating from that man, his nobility, and charm were not ordinary, so in fact, she had already anticipated this, which was why she had a hint of fear, wanting to keep him by her side forever. "Xiao You, what exactly have you been through? Why do you seem so insecure?"
Her heart paused slightly, her fingers tightly interlocked as she looked out the window: "There's a party at my house tonight. You should come too."
"Have you bought the food and drinks for tonight?" Duan Xu knew she didn't want to talk about it and tactfully changed the subject.
"Not yet. You can drive us to the supermarket since you have the car."
"At your service," he smiled slightly, turned the car, and headed towards the supermarket to prepare for that night's farewell party.
Peerless.
President's Office, which has been empty for nearly a month.
Yin He Xi's ambitious eyes gazed at the president's leather chair, his fingers tracing the high-end furniture that was airlifted from France. A sinister smile crossed the corner of his mouth as he turned and sat in the president's seat he had longed for.
Swiveling the chair, he looked out the expansive floor-to-ceiling window at the most prosperous scenery of the city. Standing here was like looking down on the world; sooner or later, he would have it.
At that moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Answering, he said coldly, "Have you found out?"
"I've asked the neighbors nearby, and the time when that man appeared coincides with the time Yin He Lian went missing. Moreover, through the police, I finally heard that the female police officer participated in the arrest operation at Ming Yue Manor that night, so I'm sure it was her who saved Yin He Lian."
"That's strange. If Yin He Lian is fine, why hasn't he come back for so long?" According to the woman who assassinated Yin He Lian that night, Yin He Lian already knew that he had sent someone to assassinate him.
"I heard he has amnesia. I followed him and found out that he has been working in a small company for a few days, which is quite inconceivable. So, I called to ask you, what should we do now?"
"Of course, kill him. Now Yin Hou Xiong is sending people everywhere to look for him. To avoid future trouble, kill him immediately," Yin He Xi ordered coldly, "No, I don't trust others to do the job, I'll go there myself."
He hung up the phone, quickly put on his coat, and left Peerless.
