Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Coming to Find Her in the Middle of the Night Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Coming to Find Her in the Middle of the Night Deep into the night.

Lan Cuo, the number one mafia boss in Southeast Asia, probably never imagined someone would dare to come and kill him at this time.

“Shengshi Group? What’s he doing here? I don’t have any business dealings with him, why would he show up in the dead of night?”

When Lan Cuo first heard about this person, his mood was already sour, and he didn’t take it seriously at all.

Indeed, that was the case.

One operating in the shadows and the other in the light, although both were at their peak, they truly had no dealings with each other. What reason would there be for a visit at this hour?

Lan Cuo waved his hand, signaling to dismiss the visitor.

But just then, someone stumbled and ran in from outside.

“Boss, this is bad. That president from Shengshi brought the military with him, several trucks’ worth.”

“What did you say?”

Lan Cuo’s face finally changed.

Ten minutes later, in the brightly lit hall of the Tulan Society, Lan Cuo finally met this legendary king of the Asian business community.

“President Lan, it’s finally nice to meet you.”

The man was surprisingly young.

Of course, he didn’t look like a businessman; elegant and graceful, when he walked through the front door, his poised and gentlemanly demeanor suggested he was here for a poetic rendezvous with drinks rather than a bloody confrontation.

Lan Cuo’s anger had not subsided.

“President Sheng, what is the meaning of this? Even if you have business to discuss with Lan Cuo, you wouldn’t need to bring so many people at this hour, would you?”

“Business?”

The man who had already made himself comfortable on the sofa laughed coldly after hearing this, crossing his legs.

“Who told you I came to talk business with you?”

“Then what are you here for?”

Hearing that it wasn’t even for business, Lan Cuo’s face grew even uglier as he stood there.

Meanwhile, behind him, a dozen men in black swarmed in.

After all, this was his territory.

Yet the man sitting on the sofa remained unfazed.

“I’m here looking for Lan Yi. President Lan may not be aware, but a few months ago, I ran into a bit of trouble in the U.S., and luckily your daughter saved my life.”

“…”

“So, having heard she’s returned home, I’ve specifically come to check on her.”

He mentioned the name in a nonchalant manner.

However, he didn’t mention that Yin Hehe was betrayed and forcibly taken back, merely using the words “returned home” as a substitute.

Lan Cuo was stunned for a moment.

He probably hadn’t expected that the number one figure in the legitimate business world, who had arrived with a menacing air in the dead of night, was here for just this matter.

“So it’s for her sake. Then there’s even less need for President Sheng to worry. My daughter is doing very well.”

Realizing it was for this reason, Lan Cuo’s attitude grew even worse.

He impatiently indicated that this man need not concern himself.

But was it really a matter of concern?

Sheng Siyuan put out the cigarette in his hand and finally stood up from the sofa.

“President Lan, it seems you have not understood my intention. When I say I have come to see her, I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m informing you that if I cannot be assured of her safety within three minutes, then your Tulan Society won’t be peaceful tonight.”

He glanced at his wristwatch expressionlessly.

In an instant, Lan Cuo, who had never been threatened before, felt a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

“Are you threatening me? Do you know where you are?”

“I do know, but having come here, I’m obviously prepared. Do you know who sent Lan Yi to you? It was Henry, a traitor from the U.S. military. My visit this time represents them.”

“So, if you don’t mind, I also don’t object to letting them drop one to test, do I?”

“!!!!!”

Drop one? What?

A bomb? Or… a missile!!

The black-clad men in the hall shuddered at these words.

Lan Cuo’s face immediately changed color as well.

“You—”

He wished he could tear this person into pieces right then and there.

But in fact, now that the military was involved, and it was the formidable military of M country, he had no room to struggle.

“Fine, I’ll have someone bring her up now!”

In the end, he agreed through gritted teeth.

Sheng Siyuan also smiled.

But no one knew the relief he felt upon hearing those words.

This place had always been lawless, and the man before him was a desperado. If a conflict truly broke out, it would be good for no one.

So, the way things were being resolved now was for the best.

Sheng Siyuan sat back down, picked up the cup of water in front of him, and waited nonchalantly.

In about ten minutes, he heard footsteps and immediately looked up. As he wished, there she was—he finally saw this woman again.

But her condition came as a surprise to him.

“Didn’t you say she was being held?”

He furrowed his brows and immediately asked Xu Guannan in a low voice.

Xu Guannan also found it strange.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, how come the madam… now she looks as if nothing’s wrong.”

He was extremely astonished.

Before the two could figure out what was going on, the woman had already been brought before Lan Cuo.

“Jiajia, he says you saved him, and he’s come to see you. Is there any truth to that?”

Lan Cuo asked directly.

Upon hearing this, the woman standing before him turned around, her glassy eyes catching the bright overhead lights as they settled squarely on Sheng Siyuan’s face.

Sheng Siyuan: “…”

In that instant, his heart skipped a beat so violently that he couldn’t help but stand up.

“Yes, I know him. He’s the president of Shengshi Group. However, Dad, we only have a professional relationship. He paid me a commission, and I helped him win a lawsuit, that’s all.”

Sheng Siyuan was about to approach her when, unexpectedly, she looked at him and delivered this line with utter indifference.

The leg Sheng Siyuan had lifted stopped mid-air.

“What did you say?”

He asked.

His tone was palpably chilly.

Yet, still without a hint of emotion, she withdrew her gaze as if she had been looking at a stranger, and not a trace of attachment lingered.

“Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’m going back. I want to sleep.”

“Go ahead.”

Lan Cuo, upon hearing this, waved his hand and let her go without any hesitation.

And so, she turned and was actually ready to leave.

Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan finally let the rage that was bubbling in his chest burst forth. He dashed over in a few swift strides and grabbed her wrist.

“Han Lina, have you had enough?”

He bellowed.

In that moment, his bloodshot eyes fixed on her as if he wanted to tear her apart!

Yes, Sheng Siyuan was defeated by her once again.

Back in the Provincial City, it was she who had rejected him, yet he shamelessly came looking for her again. He had forsaken his dignity and lowered himself, traveling thousands of miles without sleep for two days and nights to find her.

But what about her?

What did it mean?

Was she now pretending not to recognize him?

Sheng Siyuan had never felt such a mix of anger and disappointment…
