[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Ruan Qian'an could only sigh in the end, as her slowly regaining consciousness told her about the terrible state of her body.

Ruan Qian'an said to the dust cane, "You can stay here, but you must be obedient, and you must go back after I recover."

Chen Zhang was delighted to hear Ruan Qian'an say this, understanding that his boss had agreed to let her stay.

She nodded vigorously; though her face remained expressionless, her gesture conveyed her joy.

Chen Zhang knelt down in front of Ruan Qian'an's bed and began to complain, "Boss, you're surrounded by blockheads."

Ruan Qian'an: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Dust Staff: "Of course not."

"I'm talking about Chi Xiao. I wanted him to help me beg you, but he's completely inflexible and refuses to help me no matter what."

She overheard their conversation outside, but... Ruan Qian'an said, "Do you think he's just inflexible?"

Dust Staff was very obedient, and said with great certainty, "Yes."

Hearing Chen Zhang say this, Ruan Qian'an felt a little regretful for staying here, wondering what kind of trouble she would get into.

"He's not incapable of being flexible."

"But there are some things he can't overcome, you understand?"

Chen Zhang nodded blankly, not fully understanding what Ruan Qian'an was saying.

It's just a plea for leniency, why is it being dragged into so much trouble?

Ruan Qian'an: "Besides, with that attitude, no one will help you."

Dust Staff: "Attitude..."

"But you were like this before, boss. You even said that asking others for help was already a great favor."

"..."

Ruan Qian'an coughed twice: "Really? I don't remember it at all."

Dust Staff said decisively, "Yes."

Ruan Qian'an was speechless; even if she said that, she was still mocking others.

"Blockhead."

“Chixiao is not an enemy, there’s no need to treat him like this.”

Dust Staff's expressionless face couldn't make any face, otherwise her face would definitely be full of questions.

His tone was full of incomprehension: "Was my way of speaking wrong? Was my tone wrong?"

Dust Staff continued, "Should I be more humble?"

Ruan Qian'an imagined Chen Zhang using that expressionless face to make a fawning gesture, and found it extremely funny. Oh well, she could handle it herself anyway.

Just be yourself.

After a moment of silence outside, there was another knock on the door.

Seeing that Chen Zhang still had no intention of knocking, Ruan Qian'an said, "Go open the door."

Chen Zhang reluctantly got up. She hadn't yet decided what tone to use to address Chi Xiao, and she didn't want Chi Xiao to come in.

Chi Xiao glanced sideways at Chen Zhang: "Is the boss awake?"

Dust Staff nodded.

Chi Xiao went straight to Ruan Qian'an and said to her, "Boss, something's happened!"

Ruan Qian'an calmly asked, "What happened?"

Chi Xiao: "After Yue You acquired that bar, she contacted Lan Meng and obtained intelligence. She also managed to sabotage a few deals."

Ruan Qian'an: "Isn't this great?"

Chixiao: "That's where the problem lies."

Chi Xiao continued, "Because of this incident, Lan Meng became suspicious, and this person was exposed by Lan Meng's instigation."

Ruan Qian'an: "How did you find out?"

Chi Xiao: "Don't worry, we'll only find out about this once that person escapes."

"This only fueled Lanmeng's anger, and in their rage, they attacked the restricted area, causing heavy casualties among its personnel."

It's unclear how the person was exposed, let alone who exposed the restricted area.

It's certain that it's related to the person who betrayed us.

Ruan Qian'an asked Chi Xiao, "Who do you think it is?"

Chi Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, I don't know."

Ruan Qian'an: "First, we'll eliminate you. That leaves Kun, Yan Ling, Chen Siqi, and Jun Fan."

Chixiao: "But Kun disappeared a long time ago."

Ruan Qian'an: "Yan Ling, Chen Siqi, and Jun Fan."

Chixiao: "Boss, we..."

"No, they have no reason to betray you."

Ruan Qian'an: "Really?"

The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense. Ruan Qian'an chuckled softly, "Okay, I believe you."

Before Chi Xiao could even breathe a sigh of relief, he said, "However... we still need to investigate."

Chixiao: "Yes."

Chi Xiao continued, "Boss, we haven't been able to find out who set the fire."

Ruan Qian'an dispelled those people's suspicions because she couldn't find Chi Xiao in this matter.

"You've investigated everything?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiao raised his head and said affirmatively, "Yes, we've investigated everything, but we have absolutely no clue."

Ruan Qian'an fell silent, closing her eyes with some discomfort. It seemed the situation was much more serious than she had thought.

Enemies lurking in the shadows, traitors hiding in the shadows, and Lan Meng constantly attacking from the open—she's besieged on all sides.

Dust Staff: "Boss needs to rest. Can't you handle these things yourself?!"

Chixiao: "Idiot."

Huo Jingmo sat in the coffee shop, watching the bustling traffic outside, stirring his coffee aloud.

Xiangxiang is slowly getting better, so why is he so depressed?

Huo Jingmo lowered his head. He had disappeared ever since Ruan Qian'an caught him and Chen Jue.

Is she angry? Given her personality, he wouldn't be surprised by anything she did, but her disappearance was something he hadn't expected.

Huo Jingmo shook his head. Why was he thinking about her again? Honestly, he hadn't made any progress.

He glanced at his watch. Why hadn't Chen Jue arrived yet? An hour had already passed since their scheduled meeting.

Huo Jingmo took out his phone to call Chen Jue, but the call didn't go through.

He frowned, a hint of unease creeping in.

He suddenly stood up and drove straight to Chen Jue's house.

He opened the car door. The place was eerily quiet. He looked up and saw that all the windows in Chen Jue's house were shattered.

But no one in the vicinity came to see it, nor did they disturb anyone.

Huo Jingmo's forehead throbbed. Could it be?

He closed the car door and ran upstairs. When he arrived at Chen Jue's door, he tried to knock, but no one answered.

Huo Jingmo gritted his teeth and kicked the door hard, only to see what was inside.

Chen Jue lay on the sofa, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.

Huo Jingmo's face was pale, and he covered his mouth as if he wanted to vomit. The image of his mother's blood-stained body kept flashing through his mind, constantly overlapping with Chen Jue's current state.

How similar they are!

He kept retreating backward and fell to the ground.

Trembling, he took out his phone to call the police, but someone snatched it away.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you call the police."

Huo Jingmo looked at Yue You in alarm: "What do you mean?!"

"Why are you here!"

Will not.

Why are you here?!

Yueyou said calmly, "Sir, you should leave from here."

Two men in black stepped forward and took Huo Jingmo away.

Yueyou frowned as she looked around. She reached out and turned over Chen Jue's body, touched the wound, measured the distance, and frowned as she realized that he had been sniped from a distance while eating.

She stood up, wiped her fingers with a tissue, and said to the person hidden in the shadows, "Clean this up, and don't let anyone know about this."
