The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

Wei Qing, who had spent the entire afternoon at the Federal Reserve, was extremely anxious.

He was forced to wait in another meeting room, where he was served fine tea and snacks, but he had no appetite for them or to sit down. He paced back and forth until he was almost dizzy, but President Yan still did not come out.

What questions do those guys want to ask President Yan? Is President Yan prepared? Could he have fallen into their trap?

Although I knew that President Yan might be under surveillance during his return to China, I didn't expect them to act so quickly, without even going through the summons procedure...

These politicians are truly lawless!

He checked the time for the nth time, damn it, it's almost 2 o'clock!

Boss Yan hasn't eaten yet, you bunch of bastards!

Just then, the door was knocked open. He looked up and saw another white man who had blocked their way downstairs earlier. He came in and greeted him.

Wei Qing frowned at her: "Is something the matter?"

The other person gestured to the lunchbox in their hand and placed it on the table: "This is a meal I ordered for you."

Wei Qing glanced at him but didn't move: "Has our CEO Yan eaten?"

The other person shrugged: "I haven't finished asking yet."

Wei Qing suppressed the urge to curse the national treasure: "Didn't you say you'd only ask a few questions? A few questions taking three hours?"

The other person shrugged again: "I didn't go in, I don't know."

Seeing that Wei Qing was just staring at him without saying a word, the other man also felt embarrassed, scratched his nose, and pointed to the lunchbox: "You should eat lunch first."

How could anyone possibly eat that?

The other party eventually wisely left.

Wei Qing pinched the bridge of his nose. Who should he turn to at a time like this?

We definitely can't disturb Mr. Zhou, after all, he's getting old, and we don't want him to worry too much and cause any accidents.

Some people are not suitable to be contacted, as they might alert the enemy. Boss Yan seemed quite calm before he went in, so he shouldn't make decisions on his own and cause trouble.

He thought for a moment and then called Zhou Mei. Zhou Mei was in charge of the group's external relations department and had connections in both the political and business circles. Perhaps he could ask her for help. President Yan was her nephew, and she trusted him.

Without further hesitation, he took out his phone and called Zhou Mei.

A moment later, Zhou Mei's voice came from the other end: "Assistant Wei, what's up? Is your CEO Yan looking for me? Why doesn't he call me? Is he busy?"

Just as Wei Qing was about to speak, he suddenly heard Lisa's voice from the other end: "Another mousse cake, matcha flavor, no extra sugar, please."

His open mouth suddenly stopped.

His mind raced. He remembered that in the car, President Yan had asked him to investigate Lisa's biological father, which meant he must have some suspicions about her. She was currently with Zhou Mei, so he couldn't let her know what was happening on President Yan's side.

Zhou Mei didn't hear his voice for a while, and asked in confusion, "Hello, hello? Assistant Wei, what's wrong? Is the signal bad? I told you not to buy an Apple product, did you get ripped off?"

Wei Qing: "..."

He cleared his throat and struggled to come up with an excuse, so clumsy that even he didn't believe it: "Mr....Mr. Zhou, um...if I said I accidentally mistyped, could you please forgive me?"

Zhou Mei was amused and annoyed: "Wrong number?"

Lisa asked, "Is that Wei Qing? Is something wrong, Vito?"

Wei Qing: "Sorry, Mr. Jay Chou."

Zhou Mei sighed and said, "Alright, since this is the first time you've made this mistake, I'll forgive you as you wish. I'm about to have dessert, so I shouldn't be angry."

Wei Qing: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Mei: "Hanged up~"

Wei Qing put away his phone and let out a sigh of relief.

Before he could catch his breath, his phone rang again, startling him with its sudden ringtone.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Xu Chaofeng and quickly answered the call.

"You landed?"

Xu Chaofeng: "Yes, I just got in the car. I'm going back to the company to report to President Yan. Is President Yan at the company?"

Wei Qing was on the verge of tears: "Brother, help me—"

He only calls someone "brother" in emergencies.

Xu Chaofeng was calmer than him. After learning about the situation, she thought for a moment and then called Liang Wenyi.

Liang Wenyi naturally took it very seriously and immediately responded that he would look into the situation and give him an answer later.

However, just as he finished making the call, Wei Qing called again to say that Yan Zhixu had been released.

Xu Chaofeng had no choice but to call Liang Wenyi again to explain and thank him for his help. Liang Wenyi just smiled and didn't say anything.

Wei Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Zhixu come out.

Yan Zhixu strode toward the elevator, with Wei Qing following behind. Behind them came the voice of Commissioner Smith: "Mr. Vito, what I just said will remain in effect. You can contact me anytime."

Yan Zhixu didn't answer, and didn't even turn her head.

Wei Qing stepped forward and pressed the elevator down button, glancing at him as she did so.

After entering the elevator, he asked, "President Yan, they didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at him and said with a hint of sarcasm, "How could it not have been difficult? You asked so many questions that were hard for me to answer."

Wei Qing: "Is it related to your return to China?"

"Ah."

Wei Qing: "Then, we're not going to talk about what we agreed to discuss today?"

Yan Zhixu: "Do you think they will still talk to me?"

It's obvious that today's purpose was to lure him over under the pretense of investing funds to ask those sensitive questions.

Wei Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Chao Feng is back."

Yan Zhixu: "Where is he?"

Wei Qing: "I'm on my way back to the company."

They arrived at the first floor, stepped out of the elevator, and walked towards the parking space.

Yan Zhixu's phone rang, and Wei Qing handed it to him. He took it, glanced at it, and saw it was Liang Wenyi. His expression softened a bit, and he answered the call.

"Counselor Liang".

Liang Wenyi's voice was gentle: "Back to America?"

Yan Zhixu: "Yes, you found out? Weiwei told you?"

Wei Qing, who was standing nearby, suddenly perked up his ears to listen.

Who is Weiwei? It sounds like a girl's name. The question is, why did President Yan's voice suddenly become gentle?

Liang Wenyi chuckled: "Guess~"

Yan Zhixu: "...Who else could it be?"

Liang Wenyi: "I'm not kidding you, it was your assistant who called me."

Yan Zhixu glanced at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing: "?"

Liang Wenyi continued, "Did the FBI contact you?"

His voice turned serious, and Yan Zhixu also lowered his voice: "Hmm."

Liang Wenyi: "How did they find you? Did they come directly to your company?"

Yan Zhixu: "No, I had an appointment with the Federal Reserve Chairman to discuss investment funds, but I didn't expect it to be a trap set by the FBI."

Liang Wenyi: "What did they ask you?"

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment, then said, "They asked about my whereabouts while I was in China."

Liang Wenyi: "They're really keeping a close eye on things~ I hope nothing's happened?"

Yan Zhixu: "I was already mentally prepared, it's fine. But they brought up something."

Liang Wenyi: "What?"

Yan Zhixu: "Let me consider changing my nationality."

Liang Wenyi scoffed lightly: "They're really dreaming."

Yan Zhixu: "Mm."

Liang Wenyi: "You're not reconsidering, are you?"

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "I am indeed considering... how to refuse without arousing their further suspicion."
