"Haha... No problem, if it’s inconvenient, you guys can handle it. But can you record the process with a digital camera while you’re at it? I really want to see him die in front of me!"

Li Yan, resigned, said, "Hiring assassins to film? Should I hire a director, too, with lighting and positioning and force him into close-ups? That would be abuse, boss, we’re just assassins!"

Zheng Tian felt a bit embarrassed. Although he was the employer and should have the final say, it depended on the level of the assassin. He used to be a big shot, but in front of Li Yan, he had no aura at all. For this mysterious super assassin, he had a deep-seated fear.

"Bringing him back to Cloud Island is impossible. However, I can promise you that if we find him, we will notify you first. If you can get to the Rich Country, perhaps you can control the situation to handle it yourself."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Zheng Tian thanked him sincerely. For years, it’s always others saying thank you to him, and those whom he thanked are truly few and far between. Possibly as many as he said today to Li Yan!

"Can I go now?" Li Yan stood up and stretched lazily. After such a long conversation, the tea had gone cold. If it weren’t for striking a mutually beneficial deal, he would have been impatient long ago.

Zheng Tian chuckled awkwardly, "Aren’t you embarrassing me? Would I dare stop you if you wanted to leave? But you attended the movie function tonight and didn’t attend the reception, just to be invited here by us. Must be a bit hungry, right? How about having a late-night snack before you leave? I can also have someone bring your car over for your convenience."

His words indirectly conveyed his attitude: I won’t arrange for anyone to send you home or pry into where you live.

Li Yan, who originally didn’t want to respond, remembered that he was brought here by them, and his car was still parked at the cinema. If he were to go back himself, he would first have to let them drive to the cinema, which would be a bit troublesome.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the night view outside, and dialed Yu Xiaodi’s number.

"Uncle, are you okay? Have you... finished your business?" Xiaodi asked anxiously as soon as she answered his call.

Li Yan laughed and said, "What could happen to me? I just wanted to ask if you’ve gone home yet or are still waiting there for me?"

Yu Xiaodi chuckled a little, her little intention to keep waiting couldn’t hide from him. But in fact, she didn’t wait this time; she followed as Li Yan was taken away by several cars. "I promise! I absolutely listened to you. I wasn’t waiting there anymore when I received your message."

Her words were a little sly. She only said that when she received the message ten minutes later while in the car, she wasn’t waiting there anymore. She didn’t mention when she left or whether she went home.

Since she wasn’t there anymore, Li Yan wasn’t interested in going back to the cinema to drive. After all, he was invited by them, having a late-night snack before leaving wouldn’t be too much.

"Then you rest early. Sorry about today. I’ll look for you tomorrow." He thought Yu Xiaodi would be home by now and didn’t think it was convenient to head to her place.

But to Yu Xiaodi, his words meant something different! She was worried Li Yan was being held by bad guys. Although he could call, it seemed he hadn’t resolved the situation yet.

She quickly lowered her voice, "Are there other people around you? Is it inconvenient to speak on the phone?"

Hearing her secretive tone, Li Yan smiled slightly, thinking she wanted to say something intimate. Seeing as Zheng Tian was still present, it truly wasn’t the right environment. He admitted, "Hmm, it’s inconvenient; I’ll call you back later."

"Well... okay!" Xiaodi thought, since it was inconvenient, she shouldn’t alert anyone unnecessarily.

After hanging up, Li Yan nodded at Zheng Tian, "Your treat!"

"It’s my honor!" Zheng Tian made a gesture of inviting him.

As they opened the door and came out, the door to the opposite guest room was open. Zheng Tian’s son, Zheng Yucheng, and the bodyguards previously in his room, were inside, observing the situation. Clearly, if everyone waited in the corridor, it would be too conspicuous and cause rumors, so they waited in the guest room.

Seeing the door open and the two walking out, they quickly approached to greet them.

"Dad..." Seeing Zheng Tian’s smiling face, Zheng Yucheng was somewhat skeptical of his own eyes. Was this his stern father? It seemed a long time since he saw him so relaxed and happy. Was it related to this person?

The bodyguard, though doubtful, understood his duty well. He didn’t ask questions but just automatically stood behind Zheng Tian. After Zheng Tian hired him, he trusted him with his security.

Zheng Tian nodded, "Yu Cheng, I asked you to book a private room in the restaurant and arrange the banquet, did it go smoothly?"

Zheng Yucheng responded immediately, "It’s all set up. Someone is there keeping watch, and we can start anytime!"

"Brother Li Yan, please! To avoid wasting your precious time, I’ve already arranged the main course for the late-night snack."

Li Yan glanced at him. This old guy was determined to have me. Not only did he prepare the USB with information, but the late-night snack was ready too. It seems he would even pay a billion International Coins if asked!

"Heh, you call me little brother, doesn’t that elevate my status by a generation?" Li Yan glanced at the somewhat frustrated and robust Zheng Yucheng.
