Nan Xiao woke up to find himself in his room at noon the next day.
Upon recognizing his surroundings, he was so furious he punched the bed.
Hearing the noise, Nan Xiang Bei pushed the door open and entered. "Boss, you're awake?"
"Any news from Xiang Dong?" Nan Xiao, his voice hoarse, asked, concerned about Nan Xiang Dong's safety.
Nan Xiang Bei quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it over. "We ran into an ambush as soon as we got there. But it was a close call. He said someone helped him from the shadows, but we haven't figured out who it was yet."
Nan Xiao looked at the water glass in his hand with deep eyes. "This isn't drugged, is it?"
Nan Xiang Bei chuckled and scratched his head. "I don't have Dong Ge's guts. Besides, since you're staying, there's no point in drugging you."
Nan Xiao let out a cold laugh. "If Xiang Dong dared to drug me, do you think I can still trust the four of you?"
"Boss, you might not trust the three of us, but Dong Ge's loyalty to you is as clear as day. He did this all for you."
Nan Xiao took a sip of water, moistening his throat slightly. "Find out who sent me the file."
"Dong Ge already sent me that file, and I'm investigating it. Are you hungry? I'll order some takeout for you."
"No need, I'll go to the company."
"That won't do! Dong Ge said you can't go back to the company until he returns. Don't worry, Nan Ge is already back and is holding down the fort at the company, guaranteeing nothing will go wrong."
As Nan Xiang Bei was speaking, an alarm sounded from the computer outside.
Nan Xiang Bei hurried out.
Nan Xiao followed him out. "What happened?"
"The news online says that five-star hotel exploded, and your name is on the list of casualties released by the police!" Nan Xiang Bei's voice was filled with shock and horror.
Nan Xiao's eyes widened, and he quickly took out his phone to dial. If one looked closely, they could see his hand trembling slightly.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off," a mechanical female voice said.
"Shit!" Nan Xiao impatiently dialed another number, which was also switched off.
Nan Xiang Bei was also on the phone, and like Nan Xiao, all the numbers he dialed were off.
The two men exchanged a glance, and Nan Xiao strode towards the door.
"Xiang Dong might have been killed. I need to go to Country T to check."
Nan Xiang Bei grabbed his wrist. "Boss, if you go to Country T now, everything Dong Ge did will be in vain."
"But I can't just watch my brother disappear like this!"
"Dong Ge has always been cautious. I have a feeling he's not dead. He's likely using this opportunity to go from overt to covert."
Nan Xiao calmed down quickly after hearing this.
He thought for a moment and then, with a heavy expression, made a call.
As soon as the call was answered, the other party exclaimed, "Boss?!"
"Mhm."
"It's great that you're alright!"
"I'm fine, but Xiang Dong might be in trouble. Take a small team and go investigate covertly to see if Xiang Dong is still alive."
"Okay! I'll take my men there immediately."
Nan Xiao said gravely, "I will also go as Xiang Dong. I will be overt, and you will be covert. If Xiang Dong is alive, cooperate with him to find the mastermind behind this. I'll be responsible for rescuing the child!"
"Yes!"
After Nan Xiao hung up, he looked at Nan Xiang Bei. "I'll go with my people to confirm the casualty list with the local police. You go to the company and assist Xiang Nan. He's been working at the overseas branch and isn't very familiar with the head office's situation."
Nan Xiang Bei shook his head with a solemn expression. "Boss, the company needs you more right now. Let me go to Country T, and you stay here to hold down the fort."
Nan Xiao clapped him firmly on the shoulder. "I can't show my face for now, so it doesn't matter who stays. And if I go to Country T, my chances of success will be higher. Hurry up, call me if anything comes up."
Nan Xiang Dong thought about it and, after giving him a few instructions, left.
After Nan Xiang Bei left, Nan Xiao went into Nan Xiang Dong's walk-in closet, took a box from a hidden compartment, and changed into Nan Xiang Dong's clothes.
When he came out, no one would recognize him as Nan Xiao, because he was wearing Nan Xiang Dong's face.
Nan Xiang Dong was his body double. Besides their parents, only Xiang Nan, Xiang Xi, and Xiang Bei, who had been with him since childhood, knew about this.
Since Xiang Dong had taken his human skin mask to Country T, he had to wear his human skin mask too.
On the way to the airport, Nan Xiao thought a lot.
If he was in trouble, the company would surely be in a panic. And those who coveted the Nan Corporation... he hoped Xiang Bei and Xiang Nan could handle them together.
Before boarding the plane, Nan Xiao called Nan Zhen Ting.
Fortunately, his call was timely, otherwise, Nan Zhen Ting, who had just seen the news, would have fainted.
After reporting his safety to his father, he added, "You go comfort Mom, but don't tell her I'm alright. Don't tell anyone, not even my sister-in-law or Aunt Xia."
"Alright. I understand... Xiang Dong, he's not really in trouble, is he?"
"I'll know when I get there."
Nan Zhen Ting fell silent.
Nan Xiao closed his eyes and turned off the Bluetooth.
Nan Corporation Building.
As Nan Xiang Bei entered his office, Nan Xiang Nan ran in.
"Xiang Bei, Boss really isn't alright, is he?"
Nan Xiang Bei sighed. "Dong Ge went to Country T for Boss. Only we few know about this. Don't let it slip."
Nan Xiang Nan's eyes turned red, and he hugged him tightly. "That's great! It's great that Boss is alright... Huh? Boss didn't go to Country T, so why isn't he at the company?"
Nan Xiang Dong pushed him away with disgust. "Boss is fine, but Dong Ge's situation is uncertain. Boss is worried about him and has taken people there."
Nan Xiang Nan sniffled. "Will Boss be in danger if he goes now? No, you watch the company, I need to go protect Boss."
Nan Xiang Dong grabbed his collar in exasperation. "Get back here! With your weakling physique, if anyone's going, it's me."
"How am I weak? I just lost weight due to acclimatization."
"Stop with the nonsense! Boss asked the two of us to guard the company for him. How's the company doing? Is it still stable?"
Nan Xiang Nan struggled to free his collar.
As he tidied his collar, he said, "The employees are fine. They all say Boss is blessed and won't be in any danger. It's those shareholders who are troublesome. The news has barely broken, and I've already received over ten calls. Some shareholders are even hinting at selling their shares."
Nan Xiang Bei narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Let them sell if they want to. Those disloyal fools are useless to keep around. I'll call the finance department later and have them prepare funds. We'll buy them out."
