Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Xiang Ling’an: The Fool Turns Out to Be Myself

Xiang Ling’an had just approached when he saw Fu Yanhe sitting there, drinking water.

The familiar face made Xiang Ling’an pause for a moment.

How could Fu Yanhe be here?

Wasn’t he supposed to meet the CEO of Luo Net?

Could it be...

A theory that Xiang Ling’an found hard to believe started to emerge in his mind as he squinted at Fu Yanhe, "Fu Yanhe? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing his voice, Fu Yanhe turned his head towards him and a light smile appeared on his handsome face, "Doesn’t elder brother already have the answer in his heart?"

Even with a guess in his mind, the frank admission from Fu Yanhe left Xiang Ling’an blank for a moment.

The space around them seemed to quiet for a moment.

Xiang Ling’an took a deep breath and looked at Fu Yanhe with a complex expression, "You’re the CEO of Luo Net?"

Fu Yanhe nodded and smiled, "Yes."

Xiang Ling’an: "..."

Xiang Ling’an walked up with a poker face and sat opposite Fu Yanhe, "Give me a moment, let me take a moment."

This news was too explosive.

Back home, he had regretted that his junior sister couldn’t be matched with the CEO of Luo Net, and for this mission in Sutanda City, he even arranged for his junior sister to beat up the CEO of Luo Net to vent her anger.

And now, Fu Yanhe was telling him that he was the CEO of Luo Net?

Xiang Ling’an was stunned.

He looked at Fu Yanhe and asked with an indescribable expression, "Does junior sister know about your identity?"

Fu Yanhe nodded, "She knows."

He smiled faintly and took a jab at Xiang Ling’an’s heart, "Not just Yanyan knows, others know too."

Only Xiang Ling’an was kept in the dark.

Xiang Ling’an: "..."

Was he the clown?

Xiang Ling’an picked up the glass of plain water on the table and gulped it down, looking at Fu Yanhe through gritted teeth, "I’ll settle the score with them later, but why did you invite me here today? It can’t be just to laugh at me, right?"

"Of course not," Fu Yanhe said with a faint smile, "I asked Mr. Xiang out because I want to know if Mr. Xiang has ever considered merging 094 and Luo Net into one."

When the conversation turned to business, Xiang Ling’an no longer cared about the embarrassment. His eyebrows slightly raised, he looked at Fu Yanhe with narrowed eyes, a hint of coldness in his gaze, "What do you mean? You want to swallow up our 094?"

"Mr. Xiang misunderstands," Fu Yanhe replied calmly, pouring a glass of water for Xiang Ling’an, "What I mean is to merge Luo Net into 094."

Xiang Ling’an’s eyes suddenly widened with a look of disbelief as he stared at Fu Yanhe, "Hold on!"

He couldn’t help but dig at his ear before asking again, "What did you just say?"

"To merge Luo Net into 094," Fu Yanhe repeated patiently.

Xiang Ling’an sat up straight, looking at Fu Yanhe with an extremely complex expression, "Are you serious? You’ve been building Luo Net for quite a few years, right? The effort involved has been considerable. Are you really willing to merge Luo Net into 094?"

"Mm," Fu Yanhe nodded slightly, his smile gentle, "To tell you the truth, elder brother, I’ve been thinking of finding a successor for a while now, but I just haven’t found the right person."

"Elder brother has managed 094 so well, I would feel relieved handing Luo Net over to you."

Fu Yanhe paused for a moment, his gaze softening as it fell on a corner, his eyes shimmering with fine light, "I could also spend more time with Yanhe."

Xiang Ling’an: "..."

He now felt like a dog that had been kicked suddenly while walking down the road.

Xiang Ling’an barely managed a smile, his gaze filled with deep resentment, "So, you and your wife are treating me like an ox to be ordered around, huh?"

Fu Yanhe smiled without a word and handed over the contract he had prepared in advance to Xiang Ling’an.

Xiang Ling’an looked at the contract in front of him, inhaling and exhaling several times before finally picking it up and starting to read through it.

He couldn’t pass up such a golden opportunity!

After reviewing the contract and confirming there were no terms unfavorable to 094, Xiang Ling’an quickly grabbed the pen Fu Yanhe had already prepared and signed his name.

"Pleasure doing business."

Fu Yanhe shook hands with Xiang Ling’an as a formality, "Pleasure doing business."

After the business talk, Xiang Ling’an looked at Fu Yanhe with a forced smile and asked, "Regarding the matter of you being the chief of the network, who knew about it first?"

"Yanyan," Fu Yanhe smiled while lifting his gaze to look at him, his tone carrying a meaningful depth, "However, Miss Feng found out at the same time as Yanyan."

Xiang Ling’an drew in a deep breath, restraining the impulse to give someone a sound spanking, his good teeth almost shattered.

Fine.

Feng Jiao actually knew at the same time as the little junior sister!

She even knew about his arrangement to send the little junior sister to Sutanda City! And she hadn’t told him!

All the effort he had put into caring for her these past few days was for nothing!

Xiang Ling’an couldn’t sit still any longer; he was going back to find Feng Jiao and settle the score.

Picking up the contract, he stood up, "Thanks, but I’ll skip the meal. I have something to take care of, I have to go."

Fu Yanhe nodded, and Xiang Ling’an strode out of the restaurant.

After Xiang Ling’an left, Fu Yanhe got up and walked over to Shen Yanhe, who was sitting in a corner.

As he approached her, he saw her slowly take out her phone and press to turn it off.

Fu Yanhe: "..."

Shen Yanhe placed her phone on the table and looked at Fu Yanhe with a smile, "All done talking? What’s with the expression, senior brother?"

She was too far away and feared Xiang Ling’an would notice her, so she didn’t dare to keep watching.

"He’s shocked and very angry," Fu Yanhe said, sitting down next to her, his pace deliberate, "He’s gone back to settle accounts with Miss Feng first. I suppose it won’t be long before he comes for you."

Shen Yanhe huffed, "Jiaojiao must surely know about the network taking on the Sutanda City mission. She also helped you hide it from me. Let her bear the brunt of senior brother’s rage first."

After all, senior brother wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Jiaojiao.

But it’s different with her.

A real beating.

She snuggled closer to Fu Yanhe and opened her arms to hug his arm, her cat-like eyes blinking, "But with you by my side, you surely wouldn’t just watch me get beaten up by senior brother, right?"

Fu Yanhe gently stroked her head, "Right, with me here, he won’t be able to beat you."

Shen Yanhe’s face broke into a radiant smile, and just as she was about to speak, Fu Yanhe’s phone rang.

Fu Yanhe answered the call, "Hello?"

Shi Fang’s voice came through, "Chief, the heir of the Crowley family has contacted us, saying that the lady has poisoned his younger brother Yowan, demanding an explanation from us, either to provide an antidote or to hand over the lady."

As Shi Fang spoke, he let out a cold chuckle, "I’ve looked into it, that Yowan is no stranger to abusing girls, especially enjoying preying on Eastern girls while traveling abroad. The lady only poisoned him because he had set his sights on her, insisted on having her join him for coffee, and then tried to get handsy with her, that’s why she took action."

The smile in Fu Yanhe’s eyes faded slightly, his tone calm but chilling, "Tell them to get lost."
