Chapter 650: What's the Matter?

A fine scheme, a fine strategy, at the very moment I least wanted to use my brain.

Really...

Well done!

"Minister Wang, I, An Yinan, have truly learned something." She smiled, and that smile was truly too radiant.

Yun Fei, who had originally wanted to speak, simply did not open his mouth; did he dare?

If he dared to open his mouth now, what would be waiting for him when he got home tonight would be a double-pronged attack from his old mother and his wife.

Nan Nan never showed him any mercy when she took action against him.

And...

Wang Yunzhi made a gesture of invitation, "I will apologize later."

The moment An Yinan walked in, she heard the voices of the people on the side.

She remained calm and composed, as if she hadn't heard anything, but when she entered the room, there was a murderous aura in her eyes.

She does not like being schemed against by others.

Anyone, no one is an exception.

"Comrade An, regarding the upcoming negotiations in City, I would like to ask for your opinion." The old gentleman waited for An Yinan to sit down before he spoke.

An Yinan was stunned, "Hasn't it already been decided?"

Her opinion?

Is her opinion important?

Once a mission is dropped on her, even if it is a matter of heaven-shaking importance, she has to go.

The old gentleman laughed out loud, and Xie Yunkang over there, and Wang Yunzhi over here—those who were familiar with An Yinan couldn't help but smile.

For so many years, this person's temper has not changed in the slightest.

She eats soft but not hard; if you stroke her fur, anything is fine, but if you try to be tough, well, just look?

"I said, I am consulting your opinion; if you agree, you will be on the list."

The old gentleman was smiling and cheerful, as if he had no temper at all, and Feng Zhong beside him poured him a glass of plain water.

For so many years, drinking plain water had become his habit.

Even though he used to be such a person who loved tea.

"What if I don't agree?" An Yinan asked.

"If you don't agree, then your name will not be on the list." The old gentleman said this with resounding force.

After their discussion just now, An Yinan was the best candidate to lead the team; she was familiar with City, had a basic foundation in City, and she understood the way of negotiations.

No one was more suitable than her.

But her personal willingness was the first priority.

She was not subject to the orders of the Military, although she herself did not resist them.

She seemed to like this feeling of being respected even more.

The anger from being schemed against by Wang Yunzhi just now dissipated a little; she looked at the circle of people, each of them was a Leader of a faction, but their expressions told her that the old gentleman's words were not wrong.

"I can go, but I will not lead the team." An Yinan shook her head.

She was indeed familiar with City, and no one knew how long this negotiation would last; her identity was known to many people in City, and if she led the team, it would inevitably lead to speculation by many.

It would be better to just be a strategist, standing behind the crowd, and just watching the situation in the field.

For a moment, the Main Hall was silent.

"You guessed it right." An old man stood up, looked at An Yinan with appreciation, and shook his head helplessly.

"Seeing her, I have to admit that I am old."

"Even my own judgment is outdated; we are all old."

The old man nodded affirmatively at An Yinan; the aura on his whole person was very calm, and although he sighed like this, the goodwill he conveyed was transmitted through his eyes.

An Yinan looked at her eldest uncle; she had never seen this person, and didn't even have any impression of him.

Yun Fei did not give her any information, but just shook his head gently, meaning, don't ask.

It seems he is a big shot.

"You are too kind, sir. I just want to walk my own path; I don't want to be pushed around, I don't want to be schemed against by others, and I will instinctively reject anything that is forced."

Her thinking, in this era, is selfish.

But the things she does, in this era, are great.

She herself is a contradictory person.

That old man laughed out loud, then nodded, "It seems that we old people need to accept the new thinking of the young."

The old gentleman also smiled, looked at An Yinan, and did not speak again.

"Then, will you be on the list or not?" The old gentleman asked directly.

After so many years of contact, he could say he had long since seen through what kind of temperament this child had.

This was also the reason why he argued on strong grounds and would never make things difficult for her.

Huaxia cannot push her away, and he will not let Huaxia push her away.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Put me on it, just at the end, and don't put my photo."

After all, her appearance is no longer a secret in various countries now; in these days, she has even encountered assassination attempts.

Now, as long as she leaves the Military District Compound, the bodyguards are following her, along with those people sent by the Military.

The two groups of people, each protecting her, minding their own business.

"Good!" The old gentleman nodded.

Then he said softly to Yun Fei, "Comrade An's current identity is special. Whether it is from the side of the City or the Eagle Country, we must be carefully on guard; even other countries might very well try to fish in troubled waters."

"The security work on your end must be arranged thoroughly."

Yun Fei stood up immediately and then gave a military salute, "Yes."

The old gentleman looked at Wang Yunzhi again, "This operation is entrusted to you."

"I have assigned the people to you; bring her back safely for me."

Wang Yunzhi smiled, "Yes."

In an instant, the tense atmosphere in the entire room slowly relaxed.

An Yinan looked at everyone, but in the end, she said nothing.

After everyone had left, An Yinan was kept behind by Feng Zhong, and she knew that the old gentleman's health had likely reached a certain point.

"I didn't expect that you, this girl, would stir up such a huge storm in the City." The old gentleman shook his head with a smile.

Now that there was no one else around, he no longer needed to disguise his emotions, and he relaxed for a rare moment.

An Yinan poured him a glass of water, looking at his graying hair; in the year or more that she had been away, the old gentleman's health had become increasingly worse than before.

"Stretch out your hand." Her voice was somewhat soft; she did not know why, but it felt as if a thorn were stuck in her heart, making her very uncomfortable.

The old gentleman smiled and obediently stretched out his hand.

An Yinan closed her eyes, her fingers resting on his wrist moving constantly, feeling the faint pulse.

"Switch hands."

The old gentleman placed his other hand out; every day Feng Lao would come to perform Pulse Reading, so he was extremely familiar with this action.

When the Pulse Reading was finished, An Yinan opened her eyes, remaining somewhat silent.

The old gentleman, however, laughed without a care, "What is it?"

He was laughing heartily, his indifferent attitude toward his own body making An Yinan glance at him sideways.

"Do you not care about your own body at all?" She tilted her head and asked softly.

The old gentleman's eyes were filled with affection as he looked at the young woman before him.
