Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Big Order, Take It or Not

In the study.

Shen Yanhe took a bath and changed into a comfortable pair of pajamas before lazily sitting on a spacious armchair.

The curtains of the study were drawn open; it had just rained outside, making the sky look rather gloomy, though the clouds in the west were stained with a few splendid shades of orange by the setting sun.

In front of her was a small table with a laptop and a plate of freshly cut fruit on it.

Fu Yanhe had arranged this, worried that she would get bored playing games alone in her room, so he asked her to join him in the study.

He had just gone to discuss business with Ba Fang, leaving her alone in the study now.

Shen Yanhe’s eyes slightly narrowed, emotionlessly watching the evening glow outside the window.

At that moment, the ringtone of the smartphone on the small table rang out.

Shen Yanhe came back to reality, picked up the phone, and answered with a languid voice, "Hello?"

Xiang Ling’an’s teasing voice came from the other end of the phone, "Junior sister, 094 has landed a big contract. Do you want to take it and stretch your muscles a bit?"

Shen Yanhe’s eyes drooped slightly, her slender and pale fingers tapping on the table at an unhurried pace, "Take it, time, place."

"You have three days to get to Sutanda City," Xiang Ling’an said with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, his eyes narrowed. "This job is from people at the international level. They want us to take down a terrorist’s lair, capture the mastermind, and hand them over. The task pays a hundred million US dollars."

A hundred million US dollars, that’s seven hundred million yuan.

Shen Yanhe’s eyes widened slightly, a touch of astonishment on her face, "With such a hefty reward, what atrocious thing did this terrorist do?"

Xiang Ling’an spoke casually, "Nothing much, just took out their presidential candidate and wounded the current president."

"When the international forces went in to clear them out, they lost quite a few people and let them escape. Since the international groups can’t deal with it, they came to us."

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Well, this mastermind is pretty strong.

Killed and injured people and still managed to escape unscathed.

No wonder the international community is willing to pay so much to hire them.

"Fine, I got it. I’ll set off for Sutanda City tomorrow."

"How’s it going over there with that guy? If you’re not comfortable, you can always come to your senior brother," Xiang Ling’an smacked his lips and asked.

"He takes very good care of me," Shen Yanhe smiled, her lips curving, "Senior brother, you better enjoy your world of two with Jiaojiao."

As she finished speaking, Shen Yanhe said she had things to do and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Ling’an’s ears turned red, and he muttered under his breath, "What world of two... I haven’t even caught up with her yet..."

Feng Jiao came out holding an ice cream and saw Xiang Ling’an standing in a corner, asking with a puzzled look, "What were you doing there up to no good?"

"Nothing much, just informed Yanyan about that international task. She took the job and will probably leave tomorrow," Xiang Ling’an cleared his throat, pocketed his phone, and walked toward her with his long legs, his eyes falling on the ice cream in her hand, his face showing a hint of helplessness.

"This is your third ice cream today, Feng Jiao. If you get a stomach ache later, don’t come crying to me."

"Won’t call," Feng Jiao clicked her tongue with a peculiar look on her face and said, "Didn’t that guy from the net also take the job?"

"It’s because that kid from the net took it that I gave Yanyan a heads up," Xiang Ling’an raised his eyebrows, "Isn’t she still holding a grudge against their chief? It’s highly likely their chief will be involved this time."

"Let Yanyan properly vent when the time comes."

Feng Jiao: "..."

She looked at Xiang Ling’an with an indescribable expression, "You really are Yanyan’s good senior brother."

Xiang Ling’an hummed proudly with a laugh, "Of course."

Feng Jiao fell silent.

Feng Jiao began to ponder whether she should leave Xiang Ling’an’s side tomorrow.

With the extent to which this man courts disaster, she figured that when Yanyan’s undercover identity is revealed, she would likely also become the target of his anger.

Considering Yanyan’s combat power...

Feng Jiao couldn’t help shivering, her resolve strengthened.

She would leave Xiang Ling’an’s manor tomorrow!

She absolutely could not become collateral damage!

On the other hand, after Milani Farrell was driven out of the manor by Fu Yanhe, she returned to her private villa that she had bought in the US.

As soon as she got home, she took out her cell phone and called her father, crying, "Daddy, I’m so sad."

Upon hearing his daughter’s cries, King Isaac Farrell’s heart ached, and he quickly inquired, "Milani, what happened? Weren’t you going to see Fu?"

"Fu doesn’t want me anymore." Milani spoke with a sob in her voice, deeply saddened, "He married an Eastern woman. Today, he even kicked me out of his manor because of that woman, Daddy, I’m heartbroken."

Isaac’s face immediately darkened as he felt both upset and pained, "That’s outrageous. How could Fu treat you like that! After all, I helped him in the past, even saved his life. Is this how he repays his savior’s kindness?"

But no matter how angry he was, he was still in Haman and could do nothing to avenge Milani.

Milani wiped her tears and whimpered, "Daddy, what should I do now?"

Though Isaac also favored the impressive and mysterious Fu Yanhe, he no longer wished to marry his daughter to him after such an insult to her. He spoke in a grave voice, "You come back to Haman. I’ll find you a man who is even more outstanding than him to marry, and make him regret it for a lifetime!"

"No, Daddy." Milani said sorrowfully, "There is no man in this world more outstanding, more captivating to me than Fu. I really like him; I want to marry him for the rest of my life."

She clenched her teeth, a trace of unwillingness and jealousy flashing in her eyes, "Daddy, is there some way you can help me make that Eastern woman disappear from this world?"

She couldn’t make a move in the US, for if she did, Fu Yanhe would easily trace it back to her.

Then there would really be no chance for her and him.

But she was also unwilling to just return to Haman and marry a man she did not love for the rest of her life.

"Fu rules in the US. It’s not good for me to intervene," Isaac said, feeling helpless about his daughter’s request, "Besides, once I take action, if Fu traces it back to me, there would be no chance for you and him."

"Then what do I do? I can’t bear to give up on Fu just like that," Milani said, full of indignation. From childhood, whatever she wanted, she could have, men included.

An outstanding man like Fu Yanhe should belong to her.

She was a princess of a nation, after all—more than a match for him.

"The safest plan is to make that Eastern woman give up on her own," Isaac suggested after a few seconds of thought, "In a month, our country of Haman will be holding its annual auction. You can send invitations to Fu and that Eastern woman."

"Bring that Eastern woman to the event and let her see the gap between you two."

After all, women are sensitive and competitive.

Once she realizes she can’t compare to her husband’s pursuer, she might become insecure. Who knows, she might even argue with Fu,

And then, Milani would have her opportunity to step in.
