Looking at the painful and beautiful eyes in the car window, Bai Yan really felt his heart twitching in pain.
"An Yan, actually I love..."
"Enough! I asked you to drive home! Stop talking!"
An Yan covered her ears, afraid to hear what Bai Yan was going to say next, afraid to hear those three words, afraid to break the fragile peace.
Bai Yan sighed and silently drove the car.
Soon, the Lamborghini arrived at Little Hest Manor. An Yan hurriedly opened the car door and entered the villa without even saying hello.
Bai Yan parked the car and by the time he entered the villa, An Yan had already returned to her room.
"Brother Yan, is Sister feeling unhappy today?"
An Xiaowan and Chen Jing sat on the sofa, both somewhat confused. An Yan’s mood today was evidently off, and as her closest sister, she could feel the indescribably somber emotion in President An’s heart.
Bai Yan looked up at the wooden spiral staircase of the villa; An Yan’s room was upstairs.
"I just saw it, Sister An seemed to have cried."
Chen Jing said softly.
"Brother Yan, tell the truth! Did you bully Sister just now?"
An Xiaowan immediately turned into a feisty little wildcat, throwing herself into Bai Yan’s arms, restlessly flailing.
"Ow, how dare I bully her! Come down, I’m going to cook!"
Bai Yan smiled wryly.
Dinner was ready quickly, and the two girls eagerly sat at the dining table, ready to eat; Bai Yan went upstairs.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"An Yan, dinner is ready."
Bai Yan gently knocked on the door.
"I’m not hungry, you guys eat first, I’m a bit tired."
An Yan’s muffled, listless voice came through.
Bai Yan couldn’t see her, her face hidden under the blanket, tear-stained. President An wished to bear all the negative emotions herself; she didn’t want her loved ones to share her sorrow.
"Alright, I’ll leave a portion of dinner for you."
Bai Yan felt helpless and could only leave.
Downstairs in the villa’s dining room.
"Maybe she’s a bit tired from work, let’s eat first, we’ll leave a portion for her."
After dinner, Chen Jing dutifully helped clean up, while Bai Yan prepared an individual meal for An Yan.
The atmosphere that night was somewhat silent; perhaps because of An Yan, the girls weren’t in high spirits, fearing making noise that could disturb An Yan’s rest.
Bai Yan’s phone rang while he was watching TV with the two girls, showing a strange number.
"I’m going to take a call."
"Go ahead, Brother Yan~"
An Xiaowan and Chen Jing waved their hands, still immersed in the latest hit variety show.
Bai Yan furrowed his brow and returned to his room.
This number doesn’t look like it’s from within the country.
Who could be calling?
Bai Yan pondered briefly, slid to unlock, and answered the call.
Explosion sounds, the crazy firing of bullets, and the crackling of flames from the other end of the phone left Bai Yan stunned.
What in the world is this?!
"Hello?!! Hello hello! Can you hear me?"
A familiar male voice shouted from the other end of the phone.
"Damn! Brother Yan, I finally got in touch with you!"
Fu Chao burst into laughter, his voice was not normal speaking volume, he was yelling!
"Where are you? Why are you only contacting me now!"
Bai Yan’s tone was very serious.
"We’re in F state fighting! Hahaha, Brother Yan let me tell you, it’s super thrilling here! Brother Yan, wait a sec..."
Fu Chao, holding the satellite phone, laughed wildly, then suddenly turned his head and roared, "Damn it, Li Xu, stop messing around! That base will explode later! The buyer wants hostages alive!"
"Go call your own damn phone, I’m killing here without needing your BS!"
Li Xu, with a cigar in his mouth and carrying a bazooka, was in the midst of a blazing battlefield, fiercely wild, with an extremely disdainful expression.
A bunch of losers, I just enjoy killing, who cares if the buyer wants dead bodies or hostages!
"Chen Fei, follow this kid closely, don’t let him mess around! We haven’t paid this month’s brotherhood wages yet! I’m counting on this deal to make money!"
"Alright, Young Master Fu."
"Yu Dong, quickly hack the base’s system password! Once we rescue the hostages, we’ll withdraw!"
Blasting, roaring, human death screams, and machine gun firing sounds continuously transmitted from the phone, all these sounds mixed together, making Bai Yan unconsciously move his phone further away.
Finally, after Fu Chao explained everything, the kid continued yelling into the satellite phone, "Brother Yan, I’ve missed you to death!"
"Cut the crap, talk business!"
Bai Yan couldn’t help but laugh wryly: "How did you guys end up in F state? Last time we contacted, weren’t you in Italy?"
"The Mafia there is too deeply rooted, not friendly at all, we couldn’t make any money, had to come here!"
Fu Chao yelled into the phone, he had to yell, it was too noisy on the battlefield.
"What about your last phone? Why did you switch to a new one?"
Bai Yan frowned, "Are you guys alright going to the battlefield? What about organizing other members?"
Bai Yan was referring to the thirty Demon Servants under Fu Chao, all of whom were A+ level, losing one would pain Bai Yan for a long time.
"The last phone got blown up by a rocket! Lucky for me, Brother Yan, you’ve enhanced me with the Demon Giant Tree, otherwise, I would’ve almost kicked the bucket there!"
Fu Chao rattled on, "Don’t worry Brother Yan, the other brothers are all fine. I just thought it’s been a while since I called you, so I just grabbed a satellite phone to catch up with you. But don’t worry, Brother Yan, Yu Dong has encrypted the signal, so your location in China definitely won’t be exposed!"
Catching up during a war?
This kid’s nerves are way too big!
Bai Yan felt quite helpless, he really wasn’t sure if letting these guys out was a good or a bad thing.
"Alright, as long as you guys are safe, I’ll give you an email, send me the latest organization details."
Bai Yan was somewhat uneased, he advised Fu Chao.
Although letting these kids out meant to train them, Bai Yan never imagined these young lads would dare to take the brothers and rush to F state to fight!
That’s fucking crazy!
This four kids, not even twenty years old, daring to carry machine guns and directly confront enemies on the battlefield!
Luckily, they’re boosted by Bai Yan’s third-level Demon ward, otherwise, even nine lives wouldn’t be enough for them!
"Okay, I’ll have Yu Dong send it to you right away!"
The sounds of the battlefield intensified, Bai Yan could tell from the sounds that the war had reached a fever pitch.
"Brother Yan, I gotta hang up! Once we finish these deals, I’ll bring the brothers back to China!"
Fu Chao laughed loudly.
"Get lost! Don’t bring danger back to China! Coming home is fine, I’ll figure out a way to pick you up later!"
Bai Yan growled quietly.
Who knows what trouble these kids have stirred up outside, and if it brings danger close, not to mention the impact on their families, Bai Yan’s women are also likely to be affected.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you Brother Yan, hanging up now!"
Fu Chao readily agreed.
After hanging upphone, Bai Yan turned on his computer, logged into his email.
Twenty minutes later, an anonymous encrypted email arrived.
The content of the email was succinct, opened with Fu Chao’s birthday, inside was an attachment, a compressed file.
Downloading the file, the password to unzip it was a special multi-digit password only known to Bai Yan and Fu Chao.
Inside, it contained all the latest information about the [Enemy of God] organization.
What in the world are these kids up to.
Bai Yan frowned, opened the compressed file, he had to see what Fu Chao had been up to recently.
