Wen Xinya was quite surprised by Xiao Family’s father and son’s practice of drawing money.
She guessed that the Xiao Family’s father and son pair would definitely cause some movements, but did not expect them to be so determined, not leaving themselves and Chu Jingnan a way to retreat.
The Xiao Corporation was completely under the control of the Lin Family, and Chu Jingnan had no choice but to sell his shares to the Xiao Corporation for the price of peanuts. Chu Jingnan was thoroughly defeated.
And Xia Ruya’s plans to rely on the Xiao Corporation and Chu Jingnan to make a comeback also became a delusion.
There was only one way to deal with people like Xia Ruya.
That was to destroy all her hopes and fantasies step by step so that she would never be able to recover.
Wen Xinya stood by the window and took out her phone. The moment the phone was switched on, the ringing “Dididada” sounds continued, and she covered her mouth in surprise.
More than fifty missed calls showed how anxious Si Yiyan was.
There were more than 30 messages of concern and care for her, expressions of how much he missed her, reports of his work routine, and the latest text message was sent this morning.
“Xinya, I’m sorry!”
Wen Xinya’s nose turned sour and her throat clamped up.
Sorry for what?
For his petty cold war from before!
And also for leaving without a word. Sorry!
He was obviously a high-up, noble and proud man, but he was willing to lay down for her.
She thought of herself during this time. Because of her low pregnancy rate, her poor mood, and even her anger towards Si Yiyan, she felt ashamed and embarrassed. This was what life was like. You get some things and lose some things. We cannot just take what we have for granted and blame others for losing.
Compared to the bleak ending of her previous life, this time she had a lot more.
Moreover, she just had a low chance of getting pregnant, not that she could not get pregnant.
She was still young and there were still many opportunities for pregnancy. Moreover, with the current medical development and some measures to assist pregnancy, she might be able to get pregnant, and there was no need to be haunted by it, wasting her time and feeling depressed.
Having figured this out, Wen Xinya’s feelings of anxiety in the past days had been completely calmed down. She called Si Yiyan, but the call was not answered.
Wen Xinya felt some uneasiness and dialed Gu Yuehan. “How is the situation in Russia? There aren’t any major problems, right?”
Si Yiyan had not been in contact with her for twenty days since he went to Russia. She talked to Gu Yuehan every day and only learned about the situation there through Gu Yuehan.
She knew that the operation was over and that Wei Che was the mastermind behind the Korean-Chinese Alliance and was still at large. Si Yiyan postponed his return because he wanted to pursue Wei Che.
However, from Gu Yuehan’s words, she faintly noticed that he had hidden some things from her.
“The operation is over. Ninth Young Master has confirmed that Wei Che fled to Country Z and has returned not long ago.”
Gu Yuehan knew that the little sis-in-law and Ninth Young Master were facing problems. Sis-in-law shut her phone, did not answer Ninth Young Master’s calls, did not even answer Ninth Young Master’s messages, and did not know that Ninth Young Master came back. Yes, Ninth Young Master was back. Wasn’t the first thing he did find sis-in-law?
Wen Xinya was stunned. “He’s back?”
——
Xu Xianghu and Yueze returned with Si Yiyan this time. As for Gu Yuexi, he stayed in Russia for a while. Their aircraft received a message from the military department as he was approaching Capital City. In the end, the aircraft was parked at the military special airport.
It was Xu Zhenyu who welcomed Si Yiyan on behalf of the military.
After the meeting of the two parties, Xu Zhenyu could not help but size up Xu Xianghu and Yueze who were hanging around Ninth Si. His eyes stayed fixed on Xu Xianghu’s body. His pupils contracted, and he could not move his gaze away for a long time.
He clearly felt killing energy from this person’s body, and the aura of blood and smoke. From this, he could tell that this person, like him, came from a sea of corpses. No, this person was even worse than him.
However, although the other mixed-blood man was not as good as him, he gave off an unfathomable feeling.
These two people were not simple characters.
Xu Zhenyu was shocked and even more alert. After a slight change in mood, he returned to normal. “Mr. Raus is coming to the military especially. My grandfather is also currently on the way to the military along with a few military commanders who are close to the Xu Family. If there is anything, we can talk about it first.”
The information that Wen Xinya gave him about the Korean-Chinese Alliance caused a huge response from Grandpa. He did not even think about it and decided to cooperate with Ninth Si. But Ninth Si was abroad and the cooperation was temporarily put back.
During this time, he was also constantly studying and verifying these materials. Every time he learned a bit more about this organization, he could not help but feel shocked. The first moment he received the news of Ninth Si’s return, his grandfather contacted Ninth Si himself to talk about the cooperation.
Si Yiyan nodded and said, “Yes!”
The two people sat face to face, looking like a pair having a conversation, but no one spoke first.
Si Yiyan played with his cell phone casually. The military department enabled the latest signal jamming equipment, which could block and intercept all communication devices. It also had anti-tracking and sniper capabilities. Even his cell phone dedicated to him and Xinya was facing signal interference.
It seemed like the military department had attached great importance to this talk.
“The Korean-Chinese Alliance has attracted great attention from the military department, and the military department intends to cooperate with Mr. Si.”
Xu Zhenyu broke the silence and kept staring at his movements. When he looked at the phone in his hand, he froze for a moment. He also saw a similar cell phone model in Wen Xinya’s hands. Ninth Si probably wanted to contact Xinya.
Si Yiyan was not surprised and said lightly, “That’s just nice. I also have this intention.”
The attitude displayed by the military department was more urgent than he had thought.
“Before the cooperation between the two parties, shouldn’t Mr. Si reveal your true identity?”
Xu Zhenyu’s eyes were a little harsh. Ninth Si’s identity was unclear and too mysterious. None of the people around him were simple, so he did not feel at ease to work with him.
Si Yiyan put away his mobile phone. His eyes were as deep as ink, but his gaze was clear. “Of course.”
After he finished speaking, he reached down to take off the black ring between his thumbs and pushed it in front of Xu Zhenyu.
He did not know what material was used for the ring. The white base was polished with exquisite black gemstones. Black and white intertwined like night and light, the white sacred, and the pure edge of the ring was lasered with the words: Lucifer.
Xu Zhenyu’s pupils suddenly shrank. “Turns out you are the famous Rex.”
