Morning!
At the chairman's office of Haitian Pharmaceutical.
Tang Xinwan was still extremely busy, while Ye Cangtian was lying on the sofa not far away, contemplating whether to go to the capital.
But soon, Tang Xinwan received a call.
A moment later, she put down her phone and said to Ye Cangtian, "Hey, Yu Ru just called me and said she's inviting us to dinner tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian felt uneasy.
Why would Xiao Yu Ru invite Tang Xinwan for no reason? She must be going to complain! After all, she had witnessed his intimate behavior with Xibeiya firsthand yesterday.
She was definitely going to tattle!
Ye Cangtian grumbled inwardly, but asked outwardly, "Aren't you very busy these few days? How about rescheduling for another day?"
Tang Xinwan shook her head, "If it were anyone else, maybe. But Yu Ru is one of my best friends, and we haven't chatted in a long time. It's fine if I don't work overtime tonight!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's reluctant expression, she muttered strangely, "What's wrong with you today?"
Normally, this guy couldn't wait for her to finish work early so she could go out to eat or see beautiful women. But today, he was acting rather abnormally!
Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I was just about to tell you that I need to go to the capital, so I can't go tonight either!"
"You're going to the capital?"
Tang Xinwan's brows furrowed. She was mainly worried that Ye Cangtian would be doing something dangerous again. Moreover, this guy had offended the Yuwen family last time, and she was concerned about potential danger this time.
Ye Cangtian knew she was worried, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine! The organization mainly wants me to report some situations. After all, the higher-ups are very concerned about what's been happening lately."
Tang Xinwan had known about his joining the Dragon Group when they were in the capital.
And indeed, some things had happened in the past few days: the election assembly was attacked, and the Saudi royal family suddenly visited, among other events.
Tang Xinwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then you go! But please, don't do anything foolish again, and don't provoke anyone from the Yuwen family if you encounter them!"
After thinking for a moment, she added, "While you're in the capital this time, if you have time, go to the branch company as well!"
The investment in the capital branch company was huge, and it had just opened a few days ago.
Originally, as the chairman, she should have attended the opening ceremony, but due to her recent election as president of the Chamber of Commerce, she had too many things to do and couldn't go.
Ye Cangtian naturally had no objections.
Soon, he left the office, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had to go to the capital, otherwise, he would have been in an awkward situation at Xiao Yu Ru's dinner tonight.
"I hope this girl doesn't report me!"
After a silent prayer, Ye Cangtian walked out of the company.
Ten minutes later, he contacted Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang had originally planned to return to the capital with his team members today, but Ye Cangtian was worried about Tang Xinwan's safety after he left, so he asked Zhang Liang to stay for two more days.
Zhang Liang didn't refuse, as he was well aware that Ye Cangtian was now making enemies on all sides, and it was normal for people around him to be in danger.
"As for Miss Tang, my team and I will provide covert protection until you return from the capital!"
After speaking, Zhang Liang seemed to recall something and continued, "I heard yesterday that you, Brother Ye, had a dispute with the second young master of the Mu family?"
"Young masters from prominent families have many quirks, and I'm not the type to indulge them!"
Ye Cangtian said with a helpless smile. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. Did they expect him to swallow his pride?
Sorry, he couldn't do that!
Zhang Liang sighed, "Brother Ye might not know this, but the Mu family is different from other families. The Mu family has deep roots, and their family members are not only involved in the business world but also have infiltrated within China."
"I'm not very familiar with the Hidden Group, but in the Dragon Group, they have two people in there. Mu Wenbin's elder brother is the captain of the second team!"
It was no wonder Zhang Liang was worried. Mu Wenbin's elder brother, as the captain of the second team, was naturally strong, much stronger than him.
Among all the captains of the Dragon Group, that person's strength was second only to Yuwen Chengji!
Ye Cangtian suddenly realized, "So his brother is a captain in the Dragon Group, no wonder that guy is so arrogant and so familiar with Dragon Group matters!"
However, he didn't care. What if he was a captain of the Dragon Group's second team?
If the other party dared to retaliate, he would still beat them up!
He didn't ask any more about the Mu family, but asked Zhang Liang to get him a plane ticket. Since he had decided to go to the capital, he wanted to go today if possible.
...
In the afternoon, past three o'clock!
Just as Ye Cangtian boarded a plane to the capital, another plane slowly landed.
Not long after, a figure appeared at the airport exit.
Kawata Mieko looked up at the unfamiliar surroundings and couldn't help but frown slightly, "China, why do I feel a sense of familiarity?"
This wasn't the first time she had felt this way!
Over the years, every time she heard the word "China," she felt a sense of deep connection.
She had also asked her adoptive father about her origins!
But Kawada Yūji told her that she was from Dongying, that her parents were merchants who were pursued by enemies, and both her parents died. She was rescued by her adoptive father when she was on the brink of death.
Although she often doubted her identity, she didn't think too much about it, considering her adoptive father was her savior.
"My adoptive father wouldn't lie to me!"
Kawata Mieko took a deep breath, looked forward, and a hint of killing intent appeared in her eyes, "I am here to avenge my elder brother!"
...
The sky grew dim!
It was time to get off work at Haitian Pharmaceutical.
Tang Xinwan wasn't planning to work overtime tonight because she had arranged to have dinner with Xiao Yu Ru!
She was driving and stopped slowly as she passed the security office because she saw Li Dazhuang talking to a beautiful girl.
"Dazhuang, what's wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, this young lady wants to enter the company, and I wouldn't let her in, but she tried to force her way in!" Li Dazhuang turned his head, looking somewhat helpless.
Tang Xinwan smiled and looked at the girl, then found it a bit odd.
This girl looked very much like someone, Gu Yue!
A friend of Ye Cangtian's from a long time ago.
If it weren't for the fact that this girl looked younger, and her attire and demeanor were different, she might have mistaken her.
At this moment, Kawada Mieko also looked at Tang Xinwan and then asked, "Excuse me, is Ye Cangtian here?"
Although the other party spoke Chinese, her tone was a bit stiff, with an accent resembling that of Dongying.
Tang Xinwan found it strange but still replied, "Ye Cangtian isn't here. Who are you?"
"Where did he go?"
Tang Xinwan glanced at the time and explained, "He should be on a plane to the capital right now. Is there something you need him for?"
"The capital? Thank you!" The other party's eyes flashed, and she turned and left.
Tang Xinwan couldn't help but frown. Who was this girl? Did she know Ye Cangtian?
What surprised her even more was that this girl looked so much like Gu Yue! But she seemed to be from Dongying!
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone, intending to call Ye Cangtian.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off..."
That guy was probably on the plane!
Tang Xinwan reluctantly put away her phone, and thinking of her dinner appointment with Xiao Yu Ru, she temporarily put aside her doubts and drove away.
