Lan Yuxi scratched his head, "How did you know it was to celebrate second brother's wedding? Did your family call you?"
"No! Second brother got his marriage certificate today, didn't he? I was the one who called Old Ma, otherwise their international marriage would be very troublesome." Nan Xiao pressed the intercom, "Tell Xiang Dong to come down to my office."
"Wait a moment. If your comrade is very important, then you go and be with him. We'll have another chance to toast Second Brother and Pepe soon."
"It's fine, I'll go home first. They'll be drinking for a while. After celebrating with Second Brother, I'll go over."
"Who is it that can drink so much? Do I know them?"
"You don't. Do you want to come with me tonight?"
"I don't know them, so I don't really want to go."
"Then we won't go. I'll pick you up after work, and we'll go home together. Should we buy a gift for Second Brother and Pepe?"
"No need. When I bought a gift for Third Sister-in-law last time, I also got one for Zixin, Pepe, and Qiyue."
Nan Xiao curved his lips slightly, "You're quite eager. Knock, knock..."
Lan Yuxi listened and said, "Is that Xiang Dong? I'm hanging up now."
"Okay, I'll pick you up later."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Nan Xiao hung up the phone and said to the door, "Come in."
Nan Xiang Dong pushed the door open and walked in, "Boss, you were looking for me?"
"Yes, Wang Hanbei'er is back. She's invited some old comrades for a get-together. I have something today, so you go first, and I'll join in the latter half. We'll split the bill."
Nan Xiang Dong was slightly stunned, "Why did she suddenly come back? Wasn't she on border patrol?"
Nan Xiao's eyes instantly turned cold, "She's from the Wang family. The Wang family recently acquired a batch of weapons from Italy. It's not easy for them to get rid of me, but if they use someone I know, the chances of success will be much higher."
Nan Xiang Dong's eyes sharpened, "You saved her life. If she really did that, then she's too inhuman!"
Nan Xiao sneered, "When faced with profit, who cares if you were their benefactor?"
"Is this the legendary 'great kindness turns into enmity'?"
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
"I don't think she's the kind of person to repay kindness with enmity, or perhaps she was used by her family without her knowledge."
Nan Xiao glanced at him, "Do you still like her?"
Nan Xiang Dong's expression changed drastically, "Boss, as your substitute, I will not marry and have children."
"Who set that rule for you? Why can't you marry and have children as my substitute! If you insist on doing this, then don't be my substitute anymore!"
Nan Xiang Dong pursed his lips, "I don't like her anymore!"
Nan Xiao glanced at him, "Even if you don't like her, you have to pretend to like her! Go and test her tonight. If she's still the same as before, you can consider developing a relationship with her."
"I know what to do." Nan Xiang Dong turned and walked out.
Nan Xiao watched his slightly lonely back and raised his hand to rub his temples, "Have Xiang Bei come over."
"Okay."
A moment later, Nan Xiang Bei knocked and walked in, "Boss, I'm here. What are your orders?"
"Investigate who Wang Hanbei'er has been close to recently, and arrange for a reliable person to track her phone twenty-four hours a day..."
"Boss, Wang Hanbei'er has a special identity. Wiretapping her phone is illegal. Why don't we let the Madam arrange someone? She can investigate anyone without breaking the law."
"I don't want her to worry." Nan Xiao looked up at him, "Go investigate. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
"Alright, I'll monitor it myself. If we're discovered, I'll take the blame."
"You don't have to take the blame. No matter who monitors it, I can ensure their safety."
Nan Xiang Bei slyly curved his lips, "It seems the rumors outside are true."
Nan Xiao raised an eyebrow, "What rumors outside?"
"They've been guessing the next Prime Minister. You have the highest public support. I guess the Wang family is getting anxious and brought Wang Hanbei'er back, either for a marriage alliance or to eliminate you."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, "You really dare to guess! I even have a child, what marriage alliance are we talking about!"
Nan Xiang Bei chuckled, "Even if the marriage alliance doesn't work out, being a mistress would be good. At least it would leave a handle that your enemies could grasp."
Nan Xiao clenched his fingers, "Your words have given me a new idea... How far did Xiang Dong and Wang Hanbei'er develop back then?"
Nan Xiang Bei pinched his chin and said with a smile, "You've asked the right person. Brother Dong really liked Wang Hanbei'er back then. However, although Wang Hanbei'er liked him, she wasn't satisfied with his identity. She once advised Brother Dong to leave you and develop with her on the border, but Brother Dong refused outright. They haven't contacted each other since then."
"You know this too?"
Nan Xiang Bei glanced towards the door and lowered his voice, "I not only know Brother Dong's privacy, but I also know who Brother Nan and Brother Xi like. Do you want to know?"
Nan Xiao raised an eyebrow, "I'd rather know who *you* like!"
Nan Xiang Bei shyly fiddled with his fingers, "I like you~"
"Get out!"
Nan Xiao yelled sternly, scaring Nan Xiang Bei into a hasty retreat.
Nan Xiao glared at him irritably and picked up his keys to leave.
Nan Xiang Dong walked towards him, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes." Nan Xiao glanced at Nan Xiang Dong's bulging pocket, "Are you bringing a weapon to the banquet?"
"If she's targeting you, I don't mind ending her right here!"
"It's that obvious. Are you afraid she won't see it?"
"I have a clutch in my car." Nan Xiang Dong's eyes darkened slightly, and he pressed the elevator button.
Nan Xiao raised his hand and patted his shoulder forcefully, "Xiang Dong, there are so many people around me. I really don't lack you. Don't tie your whole life to me. It's unfair to you."
Nan Xiang Dong straightened his body stubbornly, "I know what I'm doing. You'll never be able to shake me off in this lifetime!"
Nan Xiao smiled helplessly and pushed him into the elevator.
The two parted ways in the parking lot. Shortly after Nan Xiao drove out, he took out his phone and dialed.
"Make sure to protect Xiang Dong well!"
"Yes!"
Nan Xiao pondered for a moment, then dialed Lan Musi's number, "Second Brother, congratulations!"
"Thank you! When are you coming back?"
"I'm going to pick up Xi Bao, and then I'll come home."
"Okay, we'll be waiting for you two. I'll hang up now..."
"Second Brother, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Is anyone around you?"
"I'm in the bedroom, no one's here." Lan Musi smiled silently at the freshly changed red sheets on the bed.
"I want to ask you for an antidote. Xi Bao gave me one before, the antidote for that kind of drug."
Lan Musi frowned slightly, "What kind of drug is that?"
"An aphrodisiac."
