Chapter One: Borrowing a Tiger's Power to Leave the Mountain

  Silver Palm Coffee House, third floor office, Mo Xi Yao had just come out of the bathroom. After everything had settled down, this little girl finally remembered that she should tidy herself up. For several days in a row, all her energy was focused on the Yiben Yishan Group's affairs. Her nerves were stretched tight. Now, with the Yishan Group completely disappearing from the world, the thorn in her heart had also been pulled out. It was time to adjust her state properly.

  A haggard-looking wait for a man's return is not Mo Xiuyao's style. This little girl's heart is prepared to show her most perfect side, after all, that man has done too many things for her. However, even so, Mo Xiuyao still has a complex emotion of love and hate towards Chu Yan. The source of this emotion is really too complicated, even if she herself says it, she may not be able to explain clearly.

  "When I really see through you, let's talk again." In the end, Mo Xiuyao still couldn't see through Chu Yan. This little girl's thinking was very simple. Anything that wasn't under her control, or anyone who wasn't under her control, she would never make a decision about easily. It's just that Mo Xiuyao didn't understand that when it comes to emotions, being too rational often leads to regrettable things happening.

  "Tina, I'll go take a look at Caesar. If anyone asks for me, you know what to say." Mo Xiuyao, dressed neatly, came to the door and instructed Tina before leaving Silver Palm. In the parking lot of Silver Palm, Mo Xiuyao habitually looked towards his own BMW 7 series, but the familiar orange-yellow color was nowhere to be seen!!

  "Has Chu Yan returned? Or was the car stolen?" Next to her car, parked was Chu Yan's Chevrolet Camaro. Although she had been staying indoors for the past few days, she would occasionally stand by the window and gaze at the orange-yellow car body in the parking lot. Now, the orange-yellow car body was gone, leaving only two possibilities.

  Mo Xiuyao hastily took out her phone and stood in the original parking space of the Camaro, quickly scanning the surroundings to confirm that the car had been stolen. She naturally dialed Chu Yan's number, at this moment, she didn't care if it would bring danger to Chu Yan or not. In short, the car was gone, which meant Chu Yan was back, and Chu Yan's return meant he was safe. Mo Xiuyao's thinking was simple and direct!

  "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later." The repeated prompt tone in the receiver gradually calmed down Mo Xiuyao's excitement that had just risen, and she dialed Chu Yan's phone number twice more, but it was still unreachable.

  "It's okay, it's okay!" After taking more than a dozen deep breaths, Mo Xiuyao's emotions finally calmed down. Although Chu Yan's car was gone, his phone was also turned off, probably because the battery was dead, no big deal. These thoughts flashed through Mo Xiuyao's mind one by one. After opening her own car door, she slowly started the engine and the silver-gray BMW 7-series quickly merged into the traffic flow, heading straight to Jiangjun Villa District.

  About thirty minutes after Mo Xi Yao left the Silver Palm, a tangerine-colored car reappeared in the parking lot of the Silver Palm. However, the person who got out of the car was not Chu Yan, but Du Mu Ling Luo, a paparazzi girl with two long legs!

  Duanmu Linglong is wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket and pants today, revealing her figure in all its glory. Her makeup is also particularly heavy, I wonder what this little girl is up to now.

  Pushing open the door of the Silver Palm, Tong Mu Linglong stepped inside, and Tina came over immediately "Hello ma'am, how many are you?"

  "This key, keep it well, someone will come for it." Du Mu Linglong said as she handed the car key to Tina, and turned around to leave Silver Palm in Tina's bewildered state.

  Watching Linglong leave, Tina looked at the car key in her hand again. Although she didn't know whose key it was, she recognized the golden bow tie logo of Chevrolet on the key. After hesitating for a moment, Tina put the key away properly. Although the woman in leather clothes with a fiery figure didn't say who would come to pick it up, someone should be coming anyway.

  "It's really strange, here people don't even say thank you when they leave their things behind, no manners at all." Tina muttered to herself, but still put the key into a small cabinet on the counter, where there were some items that guests had left behind or stored.

  The peak business hours of the Silver Palm were gradually passing, at half past two in the morning, Tina had just finished cleaning up the store and was about to close the door and go home to rest when a tall figure with a smiling face pushed open the door.

  "Tina, are you ready to close up?" The person who came in was none other than Chu Yan, and this voice Tina was all too familiar with.

  "Chu Ge? Why are you just coming now? Mo Jie has already returned to Jiang Jun Tai, if you want to find her, it's probably going to be tomorrow morning." Tiana didn't know about Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao's trip to Japan, so even though Chu Yan hadn't come for a long time, she didn't think it was strange.

  "Oh, I see. Right, give me my car keys and hurry up to lock the door. I'll drop you off on my way back, so you won't have to take a taxi." Chu Yan nodded, and Mo Xiuyao headed back to Jiangjun Tai, explaining that Feng Guo and others hadn't made their move yet, and she had been delayed for so long before returning, so she should still make it in time.

  "Alright." Tina said, taking the car key from the cabinet and handing it to Chu Yan. "I thought this key belonged to someone else, after messing around for half a day, it's actually yours, Brother Chu. Just wait a minute, I'll be right back."

  "Alright, I'll go get the car and wait for you at the entrance," Chu Yan said as he walked to the parking lot and drove the car to the entrance of Silver Palm, while Tina locked the door and got in.

  "Tina, lend me your phone for a moment, mine is out of power." The car started slowly, Chu Yan threw his own phone aside and borrowed Tina's phone.

  "Tina, what's up?" Chu Yan picked up the phone and dialed Mo Xiuyao's number directly. As soon as the call was connected, Mo Xiuyao's voice came into Chu Yan's ears. Judging from her tone, this little girl seemed to have no sleepiness at all, but instead sounded quite excited.

  "It's me, Chuyan. How are you doing over there?" After a moment of hesitation, Chuyan asked with a smile, and Mo Xiuyao fell silent for a while after hearing Chuyan's voice. It wasn't until much later that Mo Xiuyao's voice came again: "Chuyan? Is it really you? It's great that you're back!"

  Mo Xi Yao's voice was filled with joy, the kind that came from the bottom of her heart. After so many days of worry and waiting, she finally had an outcome. She had a lot to say to Chu Yan and many things she wanted to ask him. If possible, she really wanted to see Chu Yan right now.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine. You should get some rest early." Chu Yan said before hanging up the phone, but Mo Xiuyao on the other end hurriedly called out to him "Chu Yan, I...I miss you...can you come over and keep me company?"

  Having heard this, Chu Yan hung up the phone and handed it back to Tina. "Let's go, where do you live? I'll send you back."

  Tina called out the name of a residential area, and Chuyan slowly started the car. The orange body quickly merged into the traffic flow and disappeared into the neon lights in an instant.

  Jiang Jun Tai Villa District, Mo Xi Yao's villa bedroom.

  It's now 2:45 AM, Mo Xi Yao is wearing a black nightgown, lazily lying on the bed, still holding her phone in her hand. For some reason, despite having six diligent bodyguards around the villa, she still can't fall asleep.

  One was worried about Caesar's safety, but more because of Chu Yan's safe return, she couldn't wait to see Chu Yan. These two points together made her so excited that she didn't have a bit of sleepiness, although Chu Yan didn't answer her last question, but she could feel it, Chu Yan would definitely come.

  "Miss Mo, stay in your room and don't come out. We have guests." Mo Xiuyao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard a bodyguard's voice outside the door. At the same time, she sat up straight from the bed. The bodyguard's words were clear: the people who had been tracking them down had actually made their move inside the villa!

  She casually grabbed a coat and put it on, then pushed the door open to arrive at Caesar's room. A bodyguard was standing at the door, who opened Caesar's door as Mo Xiuyao walked over.

  Mo Xi Yao entered Caesar's room and instantly saw Caesar lying quietly on the bed. For some reason, when Mo Xi Yao saw Caesar's peaceful face, her heart also gradually calmed down. She sat beside Caesar, one hand gently tucking in his quilt corner.

  Downstairs, Sang Jiao, who was in charge of monitoring, looked at the screen with a faint smile on his face. Next to him, Sang Long, who had a careless expression, puffed on a thick cigar and occasionally gave orders through the communicator.

  "Proceed as planned, take action!" Outside the villa, a black Buick business car stopped two hundred meters away. Eight tall figures in black came down from the car one after another. The surveillance probes around Mo Xiuyao's villa had already covered a 360-degree angle and discovered these people at the first time.

  "Hayes, our opponents have arrived. You few keep an eye on that little devil, these guys are handed over to us." Sang Jiao looked at the eight people who appeared on the screen with a cold smile and gave orders. Sitting aside, Sang Long also nodded with a smile, and the two brothers stood up, letting Richard take their seats in front of the monitor.

  Never being passive in defense, this is one of the characteristics of the Qinglong-class bodyguards. Upon discovering a threat, they choose to take the initiative and strike, and within the first moment, they strangle the threat in its infancy. This is their creed, and it has always made their reputation grow day by day in the field of bodyguards and even mercenaries.

  Sang Long and Sang Jiao, two people with confident faces, pushed open the door of the villa, then flashed out of the villa, taking advantage of the night's cover, quickly disappearing into the darkness. In the distance, eight tall figures had already appeared in a fan shape, rapidly approaching the villa.

  "Old rules, the loser pays." The voice of Sang Long rose low in the communicator. Sang Gou's face lit up with a smile as he gave a thumbs-up into the darkness, knowing his big brother could see him.

  "Charge!" The eight figures quickly arrived at the front of the villa, cleverly forming a wide fan shape. This way, even if someone was attacked, the others would have enough time to react, although they might not have time to rescue them, but they would absolutely not be hit by the opponent's second attack!

  In the darkness, a low command was given, and eight figures suddenly scattered quickly, surrounding the villa in an instant. At this moment, Sang Long, who had been waiting for an opportunity in the darkness, suddenly launched an attack. The black shadow closest to him was punched in the back of the head, and didn't even have a chance to make a sound before falling to the ground!!

  The same was true for Sang Jiao, who easily took down the nearest dark figure with a single knife, while the remaining shadows seemed to still be unaware that two of their people had been taken out. This made Sang Long and Sang Jiao feel quite pleased: "They look good but are useless, their strength is so pathetic!"

  Just as Sang Long and Sang Jiao were about to take down the second person, Richard's warning suddenly came through the communicator!!

  "Found new intruders!"
