Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Investigating the Matter of the Deserters

Xiang Yu and his companions arrived at the headquarters of the Yuran Group, where they found Feng Lan. At that time, Feng Lan was sitting in Sun Bo’s office, looking around curiously as if everything intrigued her.

When Xiang Yu and his group walked in, she felt somewhat surreal. In her mind, Xiang Yu was a sinister underworld boss. It was hard to imagine that he was actually the shadow chairman of a publicly traded corporate group and so young at that—it was truly beyond belief.

"So, you’re the chairman here?" Feng Lan asked hesitantly.

Xiang Yu just gave a relaxed smile and did not directly answer.

"Are you ready?" Xiang Yu asked.

Feng Lan quickly nodded, looking quite adorable and showing no signs of her former gangster life.

Today, Feng Lan wore jeans and a white shirt. Although the outfit was somewhat androgynous, her beautiful and refined aura was indeed captivating.

"Let’s go, we’re setting off." Xiang Yu didn’t linger there much longer and turned to leave after speaking.

Just then, Long Wu entered with documents in hand and was momentarily startled upon seeing Xiang Yu and the others. She seldom saw Xiang Yu at the company, but today was an exception.

"What are you doing here?" Long Wu looked puzzled at Xiang Yu, then glanced at Feng Lan who had just stood up, "Are you placing someone else in the company again?" Long Wu said with a disdainful look.

She thought Xiang Yu had met another girl and arranged for her to work at the company. This wasn’t the first time.

"We’re about to leave this place," Tie Zhuzi said cheerfully. But as soon as he finished, he realized he might have spoken out of turn and coughed, saying, "I’m going downstairs to prepare the car."

Xiao Xuan also followed him down.

Feng Lan stood there watching Long Wu, not moving. She had always thought her beauty was city-overwhelming, but here was someone just as pretty, right next to Xiang Yu.

When Long Wu heard Tie Zhuzi say they were leaving, she looked at Xiang Yu in confusion and then at Feng Lan, finally realizing her mistake before carelessly placing the documents on the desk and looking to Xiang Yu.

"I was actually about to look for you. I have some matters to attend to with them and will be leaving for a while," Xiang Yu stated seriously.

Feng Lan coughed, recalling how Xiang Yu had just mentioned leaving and now seemed to be lying.

"I’ll wait for you downstairs," Feng Lan said and then walked towards the exit, exchanging glances with Long Wu on her way. If it had been nighttime, sparks would have been seen where their gazes clashed.

"Are you going with her?" a hint of jealousy flashed in Long Wu’s eyes.

"It’s not about her, it’s some unresolved issues from the past," Xiang Yu replied gravely yet with a touch of depth.

"Can’t you just stop pretending? You must be thrilled inside right now," Long Wu said, somewhat angrily.

Xiang Yu just gave a bitter smile, having wanted to keep up a serious facade, but Long Wu had seen through him. However, he didn’t feel embarrassed and instead chuckled lightly, "There really is some business, and I guess it won’t take too long to be back."

"You don’t have to explain, it’s fine whether you come or not," Long Wu snorted and then grabbed her documents and started walking out. But just as she stepped out the door, she felt some regret; Xiang Yu was about to leave for a while, and she was still angry with him. It didn’t seem right.

Thinking this, Long Wu then stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, turned her head, and with very tender eyes said to Xiang Yu, "Take good care of yourself." She knew Xiang Yu definitely had important business to attend to, or else he wouldn’t be in such a rush.

Upon seeing Long Wu’s tender gaze, Xiang Yu responded with a bit of alarm, "You should continue to be fierce to me."

"Get lost!" Long Wu yelled, then turned and left.

Coming to a corner, she stopped and stood there, secretly chuckling to herself.

Xiang Yu went directly downstairs, and just as he reached the lobby, Long Wu emerged from around the corner, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness...

A few people got into the car, and Feng Lan sat in the passenger seat to give directions. She turned her head and tentatively looked at Xiang Yu, asking, "Who was that just now? She’s really pretty."

Xiao Xuan knew the question wasn’t directed at him, so he just looked out the window, pretending to be the air.

"My little wife," Xiang Yu said straightforwardly.

"Pfft..." Both Tie Zhuzi in the front and Xiao Xuan sitting by his side couldn’t hold back their laughter. Especially Tie Zhuzi, who was driving and almost lost control of the car.

Feng Lan knew Xiang Yu was just spouting nonsense, so she merely rolled her eyes at him and stopped talking.

They drove north with Feng Lan navigating. During the drive, Tie Zhuzi rested for a while, and Xiao Xuan took over the driving. Feng Lan noticed that whenever she slightly mentioned the route, Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan seemed to know exactly how to proceed as if they knew each other well.

However, she thought it was because they were clever and didn’t ask further.

The four of them had set off in the afternoon and finally arrived at the target city by eight o’clock in the evening. They were all a bit tired, so they decided to check into a hotel for the time being.

Sitting in the hotel room, Feng Lan took out her phone and made a call. The phone rang several times before someone on the other end picked up.

"Wu Yue sister, it’s me, I’m Feng Lan," she said with joy, like a child who hadn’t seen their parents in a long time.

"Xiao Lan, is it really you?" The voice on the other side was evidently excited as well.

Once the call connected, the two of them started chatting, and half an hour passed by just like that.

Xiang Yu and the others nearly fell asleep sitting there, wondering what there was to talk about for so long. The two women covered everything from heaven to earth and then moved on to supermarkets, clothes, snacks, dieting, etc. Indeed, the world of women is rich.

Yet, they talked about so much without touching on any serious matter.

"Brother, they can talk even more than you can," Xiao Xuan said, yawning.

Tie Zhuzi was even more dramatic, simply lying down and starting to snore, the snores louder than Feng Lan’s voice on the phone. Xiang Yu simply kicked him awake.

"Go back to your room to sleep," Xiang Yu said with a wry smile.

"I’m not sleepy," Tie Zhuzi asserted, sitting up straight. Then his body uncontrollably flopped back down again.

After talking for nearly an hour, Feng Lan chuckled and said, "Wu Yue sister, I’m going to hang up now."

"Alright, after we pick you up later, we can talk some more," the cheerful voice on the other side responded.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Lan then saw Xiang Yu and the others slumped around, feeling somewhat guilty, and then she coughed and said, "Xiang Yu, Wu Yue sister said someone will come to pick us up in a while."

Xiang Yu and the others then mustered some energy to sit up and nodded vaguely, not really hearing what Feng Lan was saying. freeweɓnovel.cøm

About half an hour later, someone suddenly rang the doorbell of the room. Xiang Yu and his companions immediately became alert. Tie Zhuzi even stood up defensively.

"Don’t be nervous, it should be Wu Yue sister’s people coming to pick us up," Feng Lan said, a bit excited.

Though she said this, Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan still stood by the door ready for any emergency...
