A man and a dog were playing on the lawn as if no one else was around, completely unaware they were being photographed.
In City A, Normanis, witnessing this scene, revealed a doting smile that instantly softened his entire face.
"It would be wonderful if Duoduo could always be this happy. But, Aman... why haven't we gone back yet?"
Normanis knew his wife was intelligent, but he hadn't expected her to notice so quickly.
Holding his wife's hand, Normanis clearly didn't want to say much. "There are still some matters to attend to here."
"Aman! We are husband and wife. When we first got married, I said we should be honest about everything from now on." Yao Qianya was a bit displeased, turning her head away.
Normanis sighed, gently bringing her face towards him, his large hand lightly stroking her rosy cheeks twice.
"You also know that Ke Qian has been looking down on us all these years, trying to suppress us in every way possible. And the forces behind him are far more powerful than I imagined... Can we lie low for a while?"
If in the past it was just minor skirmishes, now he was not holding back at all, even challenging their country's authority.
But after he united those old fellows, not a single one was willing to step forward. They were either threatened or had already taken sides. He, who held some authority in the country, was in a very dangerous position at this moment.
This was why he had brought his wife here, even though he knew Ke Qian would intercept them along the way.
He had never paid attention to such minor characters before. It was only later, with his rapid growth and development, that he had drawn his attention. He had people investigate, but they found nothing.
The only thing he could guess was that this person was ruthless, and everything he had was obtained through violence, be it wealth or power. He seemed incredibly proficient, and they could never catch him.
Normanis pinched his forehead, feeling a bit tired.
Such people were the most troublesome, especially those who couldn't stand the strength of any clan. That's why he considered them a thorn in his side, having made many underhanded moves against them. He absolutely believed that there was someone behind him.
"If you can't handle it, I can ask my two brothers for help?"
Yao Qianya looked at her husband's exhausted appearance and immediately felt heartache.
"If you need anything, just tell us."
At this moment, brothers Yao Cheng and Yao Ze walked in. They had intended to speak with Normanis but overheard this conversation and immediately stepped forward.
They were family, after all, and this Ke Qian was so ambitious that he would eventually target them too.
Normanis looked at the two who had entered and then at his wife, slowly nodding. "The most important thing for us right now is to understand Ke Qian thoroughly again..."
...
Jian You stared at Balok for a while before finally asking, "Are you unhappy?"
Balok shook its head, put down its paws that were covering its face, and then nodded again.
"..."
So, was it happy or unhappy?
Jian You didn't understand why it was fine just moments ago and then suddenly like this. She looked around. There was a supermarket not far away.
"Wait a moment for me..."
Then Jian You ran to the nearby supermarket. The supermarket was open, but since all the students were in their classrooms, there weren't many people around.
She walked straight to the snack aisle after entering. Jian You didn't know if Balok had eaten since arriving, and it was almost dinnertime. It must be hungry, which was why it had that expression.
Jian You didn't even look at the prices. She took food items off the shelves one by one, prioritizing meat. In any case, the salary her employer gave her was substantial, and she could afford to feed Balok.
As she was picking things up, a rough, thick hand offered her a bag of chips.
Jian You looked up and immediately became alert, carefully observing the person.
He had thick eyebrows and large eyes. From the exposed parts, it was evident that this person exercised regularly and had a strong, muscular build, indicating he was of a similar level to Commander Zhao.
It's just... his clothes didn't look like they belonged to a good person.
Shi Yi, seeing her look at his clothes, couldn't help but become smug. These were the murder weapons... no, they were... cheating aids.
Lancaster·Chen Yi had found the materials from a secluded place and brought them back. After research and processing, they had finally created cheating clothes that could evade detection.
This was the first time he was wearing them today, and he was a little excited.
Of course, he had tested them elsewhere, and they were flawless!
"Tell me, what are you here for?"
Jian You slowly picked out items, completely unfazed. He wouldn't choose to silence her here, would he?
Shi Yi certainly wasn't here to deal with anyone. "I heard you're quite skilled. Do you dare to spar with me?"
Jian You didn't even spare him a glance, directly taking her items and leaving.
It should be enough for Balok to eat. She still didn't know how Balok had gotten here or why it was here, but she would get it food first. Later, she would call her employer to ask.
Although Shi Yi liked people who put up a fight, someone who completely ignored him like this...
He liked it! So individualistic!
"Do you want to join our organization? The benefits are good, the pay is high, and with your aptitude, there are plenty of positions here that would suit you!"
Jian You directly placed the items on the cashier's counter and paid. During this, she casually glanced at the cashier and noticed she showed no unusual reaction, immediately realizing this person was also one of their members.
Indeed, he was not a simple person. To have his influence reach this far indicated considerable power.
Jian You didn't go back. She handed the items to the cashier. "Please give these to the dog outside. I'll go with you."
Since they had come prepared, they wouldn't let her leave easily. She wanted to see what their objective was.
Shi Yi hadn't expected her to be so obedient. She was much smarter than he had anticipated. If Jian You had insisted on hiding, he would have looked down on her. What then? He really wanted to recruit her...
Perhaps he should go back and discuss it with Li An, and have him speak to the young master? Shi Yi believed the young master would agree, as she was someone who could handle important tasks.
However, he didn't realize that Xuan Mo Han valued the three children more than his own life and wouldn't allow even the slightest accident or the presence of anyone with an unknown identity.
This was because they were their only connection...
Shi Yi led her to the sports field. It was spacious enough for physical movement...
"If you can defeat me, I'll let you go today, and I'll naturally tell you my purpose for coming."
As soon as they arrived, Shi Yi took off his annoying clothes. These clothes were fine for casual wear, but uncomfortable for fighting!
If Jian You believed him, that would be a miracle. The person standing not far away looked like a statue? Pretending to be exercising, but she saw through it at a glance.
So, Jian You didn't waste any words and directly threw a punch...
