CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 492: HE DOESN’T WANT YOU ANYMORE, BUT I DO

When Yan Qianyi mentioned there might be danger, Xue Xiaoguang immediately got excited, patted his chest, and said,

"Sounds thrilling! Then count Yun Mu and me in for this job; we’ll make sure to safely bring the person over. Ziyu is coming anyway, wanna join?"

Xue Xiaoguang looked toward Xia Ziyu, who was snacking.

Bored, Xia Ziyu said, "Sounds dull, I’m not going."

Xue Xiaoguang tried to persuade him, "Come on, it should be fun!"

Yan Qianyi said, "Don’t bother persuading him. Ziyu isn’t much of a fighter; he might just slow you down if you encounter danger."

After all, Xia Ziyu was a prince of the Federation Empire; she dared not let him take any risks.

And indeed, his assistance wasn’t necessary for this.

With a look of grievance, Xia Ziyu stared at Yan Qianyi, "Can’t you say something nice about me?"

This woman was truly cold-hearted and ruthless, pushing people around as she pleased.

"Oh, right." Xue Xiaoguang realized, "Ziyu specializes in intelligence. He’s supposed to be great with hacking skills, not this kind of physical labor; it really isn’t his field."

Xia Ziyu proudly said, "My hacking skills are not just ordinary; they’re exceptional."

Yan Qianyi smiled and told Yun Mu and Xue Xiaoguang, "I’ll pay you a commission based on the market rate."

Xue Xiaoguang quickly said, "Sister, we’re good friends; bringing up money makes it awkward."

Yun Mu nodded, "Yeah, I’m free during the winter break anyway. Just picking someone up won’t take much time."

But Yan Qianyi insisted, "It’s only proper. I would pay someone else if they were helping; I’m just keeping the benefits within our circle."

Even with close friends, she disliked owing others.

Embarrassed, Xue Xiaoguang grinned, "Then we won’t be shy; just give us whatever you feel is appropriate."

"Don’t be shy." Yan Qianyi knew Xue Xiaoguang needed money and took this chance to support him.

Although Xue Xiaoguang came from poverty, his pride was strong, and he wouldn’t accept financial help without reason.

"Qianyi, what about me, what about me? What should I do?" Yan Chuhua asked eagerly.

She had almost died of boredom this winter break, and finally, there was something exciting.

Yan Qianyi said, "Follow me to the Mu Family tonight. I’ll tell you the details later."

"The ones who are the wealthiest in the Federation Empire?"

"Yes."

Yan Chuhua couldn’t wait, "I heard the Mu Family’s mansion is no less magnificent than the Royal Palace. It’s a perfect chance to see how the ultra-rich live."

Xia Ziyu pondered and looked at Yan Qianyi.

Once he had the chance to speak to Yan Qianyi alone, he quickly asked her, "Are these plans about taking revenge for your mom?"

"Sort of," Yan Qianyi nodded.

Actually, it was mainly to avenge Ah Lie’s murdered father.

But by dealing with Mu Chen, she believed Xu Zhiqiang’s crimes would also come to light.

Xia Ziyu said, "But I haven’t even found Xu Zhiqiang yet. That guy seems to have vanished into thin air; he must not be using his personal system because, with my skills, it’s impossible that I haven’t found him yet."

"It’s okay; this time, my main target is Mu Chen. If Xu Zhiqiang’s actions weren’t influenced by Mu Huaner, then it must be Mu Chen. I’ll make him confess everything."

"Does Mu Yunlie know about all this?"

"He knows about Mu Chen’s part, but I haven’t told him about my mom’s death yet."

Xia Ziyu asked, "Why haven’t you told him?"

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows, "I don’t want him to be placed in a difficult position in the middle."

"But he will find out sooner or later, it seems to me that you’re afraid that once he knows, it will affect the relationship between you two, right?"

Yan Qianyi suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

Now she had accepted that Mu Yunlie’s relative was the assassin of her mother.

Her feelings for Mu Yunlie hadn’t been affected by Mu Huaner.

If the mastermind truly was Mu Huaner, she would never let it go.

By that time, whether Mu Yunlie’s feelings for her would be affected, she couldn’t guarantee.

After all, Mu Yunlie cared so much about that relative, Mu Huaner.

If the person who ordered Xu Zhiqiang was Mu Chen, then there would be nothing to worry about.

Seeing the concern and unease in Yan Qianyi’s expression, Xia Ziyu comforted her, "You don’t have to worry. Even if Mu Yunlie doesn’t want you anymore, I’m still here, ready to step in at any time."

Yan Qianyi gave him a sidelong glance, "Can you be serious for once?"

Xia Ziyu’s face was all smiles, "I am serious."

"Then you can forget about it. Even if all the men in the world were dead, I would never be with you. Don’t have any hopes on me and don’t waste your time."

"Why?" Xia Ziyu immediately put on a mournful face.

"Because I’ve always seen you as a good friend. If you don’t want to ruin our friendship, stop saying things like this."

"Can’t I even talk about it?"

"No!"

Yan Chuhua and others were already sitting at the dining table, calling out, "Qianyi, what are you still chatting about? Hurry up and come to eat."

"Coming." Yan Qianyi gave Xia Ziyu a warning look, then walked over.

She didn’t want to lose Xia Ziyu as a good friend, so some things needed to be made clear, not to waste Xia Ziyu’s time and youth.

Everyone was seated around the dining table, and having not seen each other for a few days, everyone was very happy.

Yan Chuhua raised her glass to Yun Mu and Xue Xiaoguang and said, "Here’s to both of you returning safely."

Xue Xiaoguang confidently and boldly replied, "Of course! When Yun Mu and I take action, there is definitely no unbeatable foe under the heavens."

"By the way, sis, why do you need to go pick her up? Is someone trying to harm her?"

Xue Xiaoguang curiously looked at Yan Qianyi.

The matters concerning the Mu Family were too complicated, and Yan Qianyi didn’t know how to explain at the moment, and it wasn’t convenient to say.

Yun Mu elbowed Xue Xiaoguang, "Do you even know that assassins or mercenaries don’t ask their employers for reasons when taking money? That’s the rule within our profession. Since we’re taking Qianyi’s payment, we should keep the right attitude and not ask what we shouldn’t."

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask." Xue Xiaoguang muttered, "I was just worried if my sister encountered some trouble, that’s all."

"Not taking money when it’s offered is foolish, that’s what Yan Qianyi told Xue Xiaoguang.

Now Xue Xiaoguang remembered those words and thus didn’t bother being polite with Yan Qianyi.

Especially since, in his view, Yan Qianyi was now the head of the Yan Group and definitely wasn’t short on money.

After lunch, the three guys left first.

Yan Chuhua asked eagerly, "Qianyi, can you now tell me what help you need from me?"

"Let’s go, we’ll talk upstairs."

Arriving at the upstairs laboratory, Yan Qianyi picked up a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Yan Chuhua.

"Chu Hua, remember the questions written on this paper. Tonight, when you get to the Mu Family and during dinner, find an opportunity to ask Mu Chen."
