<div> Splayed out in front of Yan Juanjuan was a stack of documents. Meanwhile, the woman had also gathered several men. At this moment, Yan Juanjuan realized she had left the large courtyard and was now in another place. The surroundings were elegant, like a high-end club, but today there were no guests, no staff, just an empty space. "Do you think by killing me and pinning the evidence on me, they'll believe it?"
 "They're not idiots, and we're not stupid either. Without some real evidence, how can they believe it?" the woman chuckled. "Right now, everyone outside only knows that the president of Hengfei Group is suspected of illegal land transactions, involved in tax evasion scandals, and in hiding. Your own issues are numerous, and no one cares what's true or false. The police look at the evidence."
 "What are you planning to do?"
 "Those men are police officers, don't worry. They have no interest in a woman like you. Cooperate obediently, and you can suffer less, understand? Though they have no interest, they also don't have soft spots for the fairer sex."
 "What do you intend to do to me?" Yan Juanjuan watched as the tall and burly men approached her, causing her to shrink back.
 "Treat President Yan well, and don't dirty her clothes," the woman said with a smile before giving Yan Juanjuan one last look and disappearing from her sight.
 "Ye Zi, you..."
 "President Yan, please cooperate with us, or else we might have to rough you up to ensure Miss Ye's plan goes smoothly," one of the men politely stated Yan Juanjuan's current position.
 "How do you want me to cooperate?" She had seen grand scenes before, and after a moment of panic, she regained her composure and calmness.
 "It's simple. Just sit and pose as if you're negotiating a usual business deal."
 Yan Juanjuan was skeptical of the man's words; she couldn't grasp what Ye Zi was plotting, as another person appeared before her.
 "Lao Yuan?"

 </div> "President Yan, long time no see." Yuan Da's appearance startled Yan Juanjuan, and the people who had been guarding her had already retreated without her noticing.
 "What are you doing here? Were you captured by them too?"
 "President Yan, what are you talking about?" Yuan Da looked at Yan Juanjuan with sympathy, shaking his head from time to time. "Have you been too stressed and busy recently? Didn't we agree to meet here today?"
 "Did I agree to meet you here? No, I didn't!" Yan Juanjuan widened her eyes; she had no memory of it.
 Yuan Da didn't argue with her. He chuckled courteously and summoned a server to order two drinks. "You have so much on your plate that it's easy to forget. Let's get to the point; the North District is also not peaceful, meeting like this is not ideal."
 "Lao Yuan, you have to save me this time, or I'll die," Yan Juanjuan clutched Yuan Da's hand like a lifeline and wouldn't let go.
 "Rumors outside say you've committed crimes and are in hiding, even arranging a takeover of Yao Zheng's office in an attempt to seize investors appointed by the municipal committee. Is any of that true?"
 "I didn't do it." Yan Juanjuan sighed, then suddenly noticed the man who had warned her earlier walking along the corridor, hands in his pockets, something within creating a strange bulge. "It's a gun!"
 "What?" Yuan Da was startled by Yan Juanjuan's shout and followed her gaze, but saw nothing. Yao Zheng was right; Yan Juanjuan was under too much stress, her mind wasn't clear.
 "Didn't you see it? That man over there has a gun in his pocket," Yan Juanjuan pointed at the man leaning on the railing.
 "President Yan, are you feeling unwell? Let me take you to see a doctor!"
 "No, I'm not unwell," Yan Juanjuan insisted. "Lao Yuan, is there any progress on my previous immigration application?"
 "I came to tell you about that. There's no issue in Italy, but the domestic side has put a hold on it because you're now a wanted person with several cases against you."
 "I didn't do any of that, and I've been kidnapped," she replied.
 "Kidnapped?" The sympathy on Yuan Da's face was evident.
 "You don't believe me, do you?" Yan Juanjuan let out a wry smile. Indeed, sitting there soundly, why would anyone think she was kidnapped?
 "President Yan, did something happen? Do you need me to call the police for help?" Yuan Da didn't fully trust the rumors outside. Having collaborated with Yan Juanjuan for years, he understood her ways quite well.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> "The police? Never mind. His people are everywhere outside; the police are no longer surprising," Yan Juanjuan laughed self-deprecatingly. "To be honest, Lao Yuan, I might not have long to live. If you can find someone named Hua Qingyi, please..."
 "President Yan, what a coincidence you're here too?" Just after leaving, Ye Zi suddenly returned to stand before Yan Juanjuan, throwing a charming smile at Yuan Da. "Thank you, Director Yuan, for your cooperation. I'll have someone send you back."
 Yuan Da stood up, cast a cold glance at Yan Juanjuan, and said, "Miss Ye, no need to be so polite. It was just a small effort on my part. I hope you'll speak well of me to District Chief Yao."
 "Director Yuan, you're too modest. You've helped him tremendously. Of course, he won't forget your kindness. If I hadn't known your identity, I would really have thought you were a star actor." Ye Zi covered her mouth, laughing softly, as the people following her escorted Yan Juanjuan out the side door.
 "Miss Ye, doing this won't reveal my identity, will it?" Yuan Da, still uneasy, asked again.
 "Naturally, your face won't be shown on camera, so don't worry!" Ye Zi suddenly hooked her arm with Yuan Da's. "Director Yuan, if you're free later, how about I treat you to some Thai food? I know a place with great flavors."
 "With a beautiful lady inviting me, how can I refuse? But let me say upfront, I'll cover the bill. It's not right for the lady to pay."
 "Then I'll gladly accept your generosity," Ye Zi responded.
 Yuan Da ogled at the woman beside him, his gaze inevitably wandering to the alluring cleavage showing on her low-cut dress.
 "Director Yuan, why aren't you eating? Is the food here not to your taste?" Ye Zi playfully asked, placing a piece of curry crab in Yuan Da's bowl with a fluid motion of her eyes.
 "Miss Ye, you can just call me Lao Yuan," Yuan Da blinked awkwardly, almost drooling from earlier.
 "Haha, Brother Yuan, does that sound good?"
 "Good, good, good." Yuan Da, being addressed like that, practically melted, his small eyes turning into slits from smiling.
 "Thank you, Brother Yuan, for cooperating earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known who to turn to for help."
 "Miss Ye, is District Chief Yao getting serious this time?"
 "Haha, Brother Yuan, I wouldn't know about political matters. Our job is to amuse the boss; we naturally close our ears to everything else."
 Yuan Da laughed along, chuckling faintly. "I envy District Chief Yao. Having such an understanding woman beside him is enough to make anyone jealous!"
 "Brother Yuan, you're joking. I often hear District Chief Yao praising you for being a good father and husband, treasuring your wife, and having a clean lifestyle. There aren't many officials like you who live with such integrity nowadays!"
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Ye Zi's words practically elevated Yuan Da to the clouds, as he looked at her with pride. "Brother Yuan, when I was leaving, District Chief Yao asked me to inquire about something. I'm not sure if I should ask now."
 "What can't be asked between the two of us siblings? Just say it," Yuan Da replied, somewhat smugly, his usual composed demeanor forgotten.
 "It's like this. Did President Yan leave a batch of goods with you before? She mentioned to District Chief Yao that she wanted to pass via you before going to Italy."
 "This..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Da suddenly grew serious, a look of hesitation crossing his face.
 "Did I ask something I shouldn't have? Brother Yuan, please don't feel pressured. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer. I'll explain to District Chief Yao. You needn't worry." With a helpless sigh, looking pitiful, Ye Zi made Yuan Da heavily place his cup down.
 "There's nothing that can't be answered. I just need to think of the best way to say it."
 "Honestly with me, is there an issue with the goods?"
 "Yan Juanjuan expressed her wish to immigrate to Italy. Yao Zheng told me she had some goods she wanted to transport with her. Yan Juanjuan also mentioned it to me. But at the agreed time, she didn't bring the goods over, telling me to visit the North Palace instead, saying the quantity was large."
 "A large quantity? How could that be! I also recall it was just a small amount!"
 "I really don't know much. Currently, the North District is in chaos. The appointed Hua Office keeps visiting our bureau, and every checkpoint is under investigation by his people. Naturally, I wouldn't dare to act during such a time. I wanted to discuss the details with Yan Juanjuan, but before reaching the North Palace, it was set ablaze, and Yan Juanjuan has been missing since."
 "Oh, the North Palace burned down. District Chief Yao was afraid President Yan would act recklessly and had her watched. You know how fiery President Yan can be, threatening to teach District Chief Yao a lesson everywhere. What a perplexing move." Yuan Da chuckled. "But thank you, Brother Yuan, for your honesty. I'll convey this to District Chief Yao."
 "Please, speak favorably on my behalf." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)</div>
