Some things can only be paved by Du Hengyan, who bears a heavy responsibility while walking on the edge of danger. With great power comes great responsibility, but the burden Du Hengyan carries is not something that can be easily shouldered.
Chimu Jiu felt a sharp pain in her heart. She knew they wanted to ask what it was about—the specifics of the underground gambling dealings among the Sixteen Nations. When Du Hengyan spoke these words, his deep-set eyes were fixed on her. There was a hint of concern in his gaze, as if he feared that she would overthink these matters.
After all, Chimu Jiu was still unwell, both physically and mentally fragile. Du Hengyan did not want her to bear too much pressure or worry. He understood that at this critical moment, some things had to be faced head-on. He believed Chimu Jiu would understand why he had brought her here to hear this conversation firsthand.
Du Hengyan did not want to hide anything from her. No matter how dangerous the situation, he wished for her to be informed. She was his beloved; she had the right to know.
Before the unfamiliar man could speak, Du Hengyan calmly took out a red card from his desk drawer. The card shimmered with a mysterious glow, as if signaling the onset of a thrilling adventure.
"I have already received an invitation card from the underground gambling association of the Sixteen Nations," Du Hengyan said, his voice steady and composed.
The unfamiliar man was taken aback, surprise and contemplation flickering in his eyes as he pondered the deeper meaning behind this invitation card. Chimu Jiu also turned her gaze toward the card; its vibrant red seemed like a warning signal of impending danger.
However, after just a moment, she withdrew her gaze, understanding fully in her heart. The military could not get involved; only Du Hengyan could accomplish this task. But this undoubtedly put him at great risk.
The thought sent a wave of fear through Chimu Jiu, as if she could see a storm of bloodshed approaching.
Coughing slightly, she couldn't help but react to the intense emotions swirling within her.
Upon hearing the cough, Du Hengyan immediately nodded slightly to the unfamiliar man in apology. Without hesitation, he stood up and quickly walked towards the beauty on the sofa, his eyes filled with concern and worry.
He gently rubbed Chimu Jiu's back, his voice soft as the spring breeze of March whispering past her ear. "What’s wrong, my lady? Are you so worried about me?"
Chimu Jiu was about to respond when another cough interrupted her. After a moment, she finally managed to say, "No."
Her tone was somewhat stubborn, yet her eyes betrayed her true feelings. Du Hengyan recognized her words did not match her heart and chose not to tease her further. Concerned that Chimu Jiu might be feeling unwell again, he invited the unfamiliar man to sit on the sofa and continue their conversation.
Now, it had completely turned into a three-person discussion about national secrets.
"Boss Du, is this your fiancée? Regardless, congratulations are in order," the man said with a standard smile, his tone quite polite. From the moment he stepped into the room, he had noticed the frail beauty sitting on the sofa.
His gaze shifted between Du Hengyan and Chimu Jiu, curiosity and understanding evident in his expression. He naturally understood that for Du Hengyan to allow Chimu Jiu to be present and hear their confidential conversation without hesitation meant she was someone he trusted deeply.
Du Hengyan nodded slightly in acknowledgment. "Hello, Miss. I am Lin Lin."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the conversation shifted back to the earlier topic.
