I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

Ling Xiao and Xie Yuchen had just finished dinner and were leisurely sipping their post-dinner tea when Ling Xiao's phone, which was on the table, lit up and vibrated slightly.

He casually picked up the phone, his gaze sweeping over the detailed report Cheng Yu had sent. As he read, a knowing yet enigmatic smile slowly crept onto Ling Xiao's lips—a faint smile that seemed to reveal everything. He casually handed the phone to Xie Yuhua beside him.

Xie Yuhua took the message, his slender fingers gracefully swiping across the screen, quickly scanning the information. His gaze lingered for a moment on key details such as "Hei Xiazi agrees," "Xiao Ge directly orders Tamutuo," and "Wu Xie checks information," a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. When he saw Cheng Yu's detailed report mentioned at the end of the message, he looked up at Ling Xiao, a gentle, teasing smile playing on his lips:

"He is indeed loyal to you." Xie Yuhua's voice was gentle, with a hint of barely perceptible inquiry. Cheng Yu's report was so detailed that it clearly exceeded the scope of an ordinary informant.

Ling Xiao picked up the delicate white porcelain teacup, gently blew away the foam, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then slowly began to explain, his tone casual and matter-of-fact: "It was originally prepared for you." He was referring to Cheng Yu, "I put a lot of thought into it. His skills, intelligence, and background are all clean. It's just a pity that I only know how to train people for myself. Let me learn more and find you a new one."

“I don’t want to.” Xie Yuhua’s voice was still gentle, but it carried an undeniable decisiveness. “If we need to place someone in the company, we’ll have to train and work on them from scratch. As for life…” He paused, his gaze softening as he looked at Ling Xiao, his eyes seeming to say, “With you here, do we need anyone else?” “With you and Cheng Yu here, it’s good.” He spoke calmly, yet it conveyed a sense of “peace and tranquility,” as if he had already entered a peaceful “retirement life” without the need for extra security.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes instantly lit up, as if filled with shimmering starlight. He leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Xie Yuhua across the tea table, a dazzling smile—a smile that was both roguish and utterly sincere—boasting without hesitation:

“Alright!” His voice was clear and bright, filled with the excitement of a young man. “From now on, I’ll be Master Hua’s number one underling! I’ll serve him my every need, bring him tea and water, and protect him! I’ll do whatever Master Hua tells me to do, and I’ll make sure he lives a comfortable life so you can be a ‘retired old cadre’ in peace!” He patted his chest, speaking with great seriousness, as if this were the most glorious and important appointment in the world.

Jieyuhua was dazzled by his boastful words and radiant smile as the "number one underling," and couldn't help but chuckle softly, a clear and melodious sound like jade striking jade. He reached out and lightly tapped Lingxiao's forehead, his eyes filled with unwavering doting affection and warmth.

"How old am I? You want me to retire? What? You think I'm too old?"

The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the lamplight was soft. The two smiled at each other, and the warm atmosphere seemed to flow tangibly, gently shutting out the night outside the window.

Unlike the calm and collected atmosphere here, Ah Ning looked at the message "plan postponed" on her communicator, her red lips pressed tightly together, her eyes cold and sharp, and the rhythm of her fingertips tapping the table carried a hidden murderous intent.

The air was as cold as frozen frost. Aning stood alone in front of the huge electronic map, the coordinates of Golmud still marked in bright red on the screen.

Hei Xiazi's explanation that "Dumb Zhang needs time to locate" might fool outsiders, but in Aning's eyes, it was full of loopholes! Wu Xie's unusual behavior in Golmud, Xiao Ge's sudden intervention, and now skipping the predetermined target and heading straight for Tamutuo... there's definitely something fishy going on! The most likely explanation is that Wu Xie obtained something crucial in Golmud, and that thing points to Tamutuo!

What bothered her even more was Ling Xiao's attitude!

She has already sent Ling Xiao three encrypted emails! The wording of each one is more direct and urgent than the last! The first one was a routine inquiry and a polite request for "assistance in analyzing the changes in the plan"; the second one pointed out Wu Xie's abnormality and Xiao Ge's decision, with a stronger tone; the third one almost explicitly stated the danger of Tamutuo and directly quoted the prophecy that Ling Xiao had told her before!

"Lingxiao, you once said that I would be embroiled in misfortune on my trip to Qinghai. Now the plan has suddenly changed, heading straight for the core of Tamutuo, and the danger has increased exponentially. If you are not here, how can I avoid the danger? I look forward to your reply!"

But the message vanished without a trace, not even a ripple! There was no read receipt, not a single reply! That damned Ling Xiao seemed to have evaporated into thin air!
