"Sir, we've got you. We'll be personally escorting and interrogating you this time. Do you really think you can escape?"
Mu Yichen looked at him deeply and said, "How long do you think you can remain in your position?"
Mu Yichen smiled meaningfully.
Jiang Nuan looked at him curiously.
What did she mean by that?
The Dark Emperor's deployment orders were always secret; even the involved parties wouldn't know until the阁下 announced it.
How did Mu Yichen know?
Number One was also puzzled. He waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
Mu Yichen didn't struggle anymore and was taken away with them, his eyes defiant and unrestrained.
It was as if he would be fine.
As Jiang Yuxin passed by Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan, her disheveled appearance made her say to Jiang Nuan, "Jiang Nuan, a heartless person like you will get your comeuppance."
Jiang Nuan retorted, "Aren't you the one who's always been heartless? Pretending to be good in front of me, yet ruthlessly dealing with me behind my back. I'm merely returning the favor."
"If you hadn't set me up before, you wouldn't be in this situation today. Also, I have recordings of everything you just said. Jiang Yuxin, you're an adult and must take responsibility for your actions."
Jiang Yuxin's face instantly turned ashen. She understood the logic, but still chose to act against it!
For the sake of Mu Jiuchen, she had utterly ruined herself.
She lowered her gaze, all her suffering could only be swallowed by herself.
Mu Jiuchen was not with Number One's group and couldn't travel with them.
Jiang Nuan rode in the same car as Number One, personally escorting Mu Yichen and Jiang Yuxin to the Dark Emperor.
The阁下 had woken up and requested that these two be brought to the Dark Emperor for interrogation.
Number One looked at Jiang Nuan and said, "Nuannuan, do you remember what I told you? It feels like the sky is falling."
Jiang Nuan looked at him, a faint frown on her brow.
Number One smiled and ruffled her hair. "You've been with me for almost seven years. These seven years, we've faced life and death together, always brushing past death. If I am indeed transferred, you and Nanzhou will leave the Dark Emperor. I haven't submitted your files yet; I realized the issue and kept a backup."
Jiang Nuan looked at him, confused. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Number One smiled. "No, Nuannuan. Actually, all these years, there's only one thing I've wronged you with, and that's lying about my name. No matter how many names I've had, they were all fake. My real name is..."
...
Just as Mu Yichen had said, as soon as they had escorted Mu Yichen and Jiang Yuxin back, Number One received his transfer order.
Number One seemed not to be surprised at all. He still had an hour before the transfer order took effect. Within that hour, Number One directly withdrew the files of Jiang Nuan, Nanzhou, and Su Tian from the Dark Emperor.
From then on, these three were no longer part of the Dark Emperor.
Jiang Nuan looked at her file and asked Number One, "Number One, you..."
Number One smiled. "The Dark Emperor is not what it used to be; it has been corrupted from within. There's no need for you to stay here and risk your lives. You've followed me for these seven years; when has my judgment ever been wrong? Believe me, the阁下 has problems!"
Jiang Nuan looked at him deeply and nodded slightly.
"And you?" Jiang Nuan asked worriedly.
Number One smiled and said, "This transfer is a good thing for me. I'll be moved to a position I like, so you don't have to worry about me. Something will definitely happen at the阁下's birthday banquet. Now that you have withdrawn from the Dark Emperor, you will return to civilian life and do what you want to do."
This was all Number One could say.
Jiang Nuan held her file and took one last look at the Dark Emperor's headquarters before slowly leaving.
As she passed through the exit checkpoints, she encountered two high-ranking law enforcement officers.
The two looked at her and said, "J, correct?"
Jiang Nuan looked at them and nodded slightly. "Yes!"
"We have received orders from our superiors. From this moment on, you are transferred overseas for four years."
Jiang Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly. How could this be so sudden?
But it was too late!
She raised her file and said, "I'm sorry, a few minutes ago, I withdrew from the Dark Emperor, and my file is here."
It seemed Number One was right; the阁下 wanted their lives!
"How is that possible?" The two were clearly shocked!
Jiang Nuan could see their shock. Number One had made a backup plan, securing their escape route while he still had authority.
The閣下's order at this time was truly baffling.
Number One seemed to sense everything, withdrawing their files in advance.
It seemed this overseas transfer was a suicide mission.
Therefore, the阁下's intention was for them to die.
The strange thing was, how did Mu Yichen know about the transfer order?
And what was Mu Yichen's final outcome?
She would have no right to know any of this.
Jiang Nuan understood. In this world, without her and Nanzhou, two people with a sense of justice, the world would still be at peace.
"I'm leaving now."
The two could only watch helplessly as Jiang Nuan's straight back disappeared from view.
After leaving the premises, Jiang Nuan received a call from Mu Jiuchen.
"Nuannuan, how are you?" Nanzhou was worried that Jiang Nuan would be upset, as they had been working for this organization for nearly seven years.
Jiang Nuan's initial intention was to earn money, but eventually, she fell in love with the profession and became a member of the Dark Emperor.
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "Nanzhou, I feel so light. Justice is everywhere; you don't need to wear the hat of justice to possess it. Using our meager strength to help others is also a form of justice, and it's free and unconstrained."
Nanzhou also smiled. "Nuannuan is right, I also feel so relaxed. I can focus on my business, and Number One has also gone to his desired position. It seems everything has come to a perfect end."
"Yes!" Jiang Nuan smiled. "Wait for me to come back, and I'll treat you to a farewell meal."
"Heh heh..." Nanzhou couldn't help but laugh. They had already parted ways, hadn't they?
"Okay, Nuannuan, I'll wait for you to treat me."
After hanging up the phone, Nanzhou put down his phone and saw that Su Tian's expression was not good.
Su Tian looked at him and sneered, "Are you smiling so happily at Nuannuan? You're showing all your teeth."
Nanzhou looked at her expressionlessly. "...Should I be crying?"
Su Tian glanced at him coldly and said angrily, "The meeting is about to start. This is the content of today's meeting."
Su Tian angrily threw the documents onto Nanzhou's desk and walked away.
The wind from the scattered documents ruffled Nanzhou's hair, and he touched his nose.
Damn it, he could tolerate such a bad-tempered woman until now; it was a miracle.
Nanzhou picked up the documents on the desk and slowly walked to the conference room.
Why did this damn meeting happen every day?
Since taking over the company, he hadn't slept in.
...
Jiang Nuan got into Mu Jiuchen's car. Seeing her return safely, Mu Jiuchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Nuan waved her file at him and said, "Husband, you no longer need to worry about my safety."
This statement inexplicably reminded Mu Jiuchen of an advertising slogan.
He asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
