What? Sis-in-Law was the one who obtained that document?
Did she get it just from competing with Avrora in horseback riding?
Boss, are you kidding us? This is incredible!
Everyone stared at Si Yiyan in apprehension.
Si Yiyan glanced at Yueze and Xu Xianghu. “I won’t ever joke with such stuff. Xinya really is the one who obtained the document. Gu Yuehan was there at the time too. You guys may ask him about what happened.”
Actually, he wanted to find out for himself too.
Two pairs of eyes were immediately fixated on Gu Yuehan. “Gu Yuehan, what exactly is going on? How did Sis-in-Law get that document from Avrora?”‘
Gu Yuehan stared at them calmly while recounting the process.
They were all stunned speechless after hearing his words.
After finding out that Avrora had stolen the stamp from Duke Moville to seal that duplicated document, Yueze took a deep breath and said, “That explains why we got attacked yesterday.”
He was sure that it must have been Duke Moville who launched that attack on them. After all, Wen Xinya had provoked the aristocrats and Duke Moville obviously wouldn’t let her off. Besides, Si Yiyan was the one holding the document. If they did not get it back on that night, it would be impossible to retrieve it again once Si Yiyan returned home.
Xu Xianghu’s eyes widened in shock and he stared at Si Yiyan in utter disbelief. He screeched in awe. “Sis-in-Law is really impressive. She actually managed to get the document that we’ve been coveting. Had I known earlier that we could get it from Avrora, I would have kidnapped her and force her into handing it over.”
“That was too risky.” Yueze shook his head at the thought of Wen Xinya teaching Anatoli a lesson. “Sis-in-Law is really…” He paused for a moment to think of a suitable adjective before continuing, “Gutsy!”
She was not only brave and courageous to have brazenly defied and gone against Duke Moville, but she was also incredibly motivated and scheming. Although it seemed like a rash decision, she had actually put in painstaking efforts to plan each and every move meticulously. One mistake and she would risk losing everything. Just how confident was Sis-in-Law of getting that document?
Gu Yuehan said, “Sis-in-Law was just pretending to act rashly in front of Avrora and those wealthy heiresses. Actually, Sis-in-law had already communicated with me right from the moment Avrora tried to coerce her into competing. Sis-in-Law’s bravery and my arrangements allowed everything to proceed seamlessly without mistake.”
If she was not confident of getting it, why would Si Yiyan have allowed her to act as she pleased?
After hearing Gu Yuehan’s detailed explanation, Si Yiyan thought about his reaction in the car last night and sighed to himself. He felt that he had overreacted because Gu Yuehan was around to protect her.
After giving the matter some thought, everyone fell silent.
Xu Xianghu laughed and said, “Hahahaha, with this Document of proof, Lucifer will have a stable position and status in the Russian upper-class circle. It’ll also aid us in expansion and bring about unexpected and massive profits.”
Yueze rolled his eyes at him and chastised. “You’re really well-built yet simple-minded.”
Infuriated, Xu Xianghu retorted. “Gigolo, who are you calling simple-minded?”
Yueze glanced at him and said, “Well, if the shoe fits.”
Turning as red as a tomato, Xu Xianghu chided. “You, you, you… you’re just a true blue gigolo.”
Gu Yuehan could not help but feel awkward. We’re talking about serious matters. Can you stop being silly for a moment?
Si Yiyan rubbed his forehead and his throbbing temples before ordering. “Back to the main topic!”
As soon as he gave out his threatening orders, Yueze and Xu Xianghu immediately fell silent.
Yueze immediately got into a different role and acted like an intelligent leader. “We may have this document now, but we obtained it in a special way. Besides, Duke Moville’s interests are concerned, and so are his pride and authority. He won’t really let us enjoy the privileges that we’re supposedly entitled to.”
Xu Xianghu snapped in indignation. “We already have the document. He can’t possibly deny it, can he?”
Gu Yuehan said calmly, “He won’t deny it, but he’ll definitely pull some dirty and despicable tricks to get it back. This is obvious just from the attack he launched on us yesterday.”
Although they were entitled to the privileges, they would still have to depend on the aristocrats. If Duke Moville were to make life difficult for them, they would be greatly restricted.
Xu Xianghu flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the table before springing up from the couch. “That’ll depend on whether or not he has what it takes.”
Yueze said nonchalantly, “Trust you to deny that you’re simple-minded. All you do is resort to violence to solve problems. Ninth Young Master has never resorted to violence; he would hurt others using non-physical methods. Yet, you’ve learned nothing from him.”
Glaring at him, Xu Xianghu muttered, “Gigolo…”
Si Yiyan interjected. “Since this document has landed in my hands, we’ll get to enjoy the privileges stated on this. However, I don’t plan to use them.”
Xu Xianghu asked in disbelief, “Boss, what do you mean?”
Si Yiyan answered, “Xinya has made careful considerations. Duke Moville is losing his power and he’s being alienated by the politics. Even if we have the document, we can still keep our extraordinary status in Russia and we won’t be implicated. However, Xinya has just arrived in Russia and she doesn’t know that much about the situation. The so-called benefits and power are not as simple as they seem to be on the surface. Duke Moville is greedy and ambitious. The marriage could have resulted in a power struggle and, once we enjoy the privileges of this document, we’ll be embroiled in a complicated relationship with Duke Moville. That’s not the outcome that I want.”
The crux was Duke Moville’s ambitions.
The few of them nodded. Lucifer could secure its footing in both China and Russia because they were powerful enough to stay out of politics. They were forever only involved in machines.
Xu Xianghu said, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean that Sis-in-law has risked her life to get this document for nothing?”
Gu Yuehan and Yueze looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “This document is of no use to us, but it’s very important to Duke Moville. He actually attacked us for the sake of retrieving it. Clearly, he’s bent on getting the document back. I shall wait for him to send the benefits to me.”
Once the matter about the document was leaked, Duke Moville would be heavily affected, be it in terms of reputation or status. Not to mention, he might suffer huge damage to his reputation.
