Chapter 306, Have you written the name of the organization k? (Second update)

"Do these sunflowers look nice?" Mingchong stood beside her, his eyes reflecting the vast golden sea of sunflowers, a faint smile graced his lips.

Ye Jiuliang hummed in response, "Did you plant them?"

Mingchong said, "When I first started planting, these flowers often failed to survive, so I sought out a floriculturist to learn about flower cultivation for a while. It’s a pity, such a pity..."

Toward the end, a trace of sorrow crossed the depths of his eyes.

It was a pity that the flowers had bloomed but the person who adored them was no longer there.

Ye Jiuliang caught the regret in his words and glanced at him, suddenly remembering the matching rings on a necklace he had shown her the last time they met.

Could it be that he had planted these flowers for the person he liked?

"Let’s not talk about that. I’m going to cook, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything, I’m not picky," she replied.

He took a step away but then turned back to ask, "Can you handle spicy food?"

Ye Jiuliang paused, then nodded her head.

"Is it true, are you sure about the news?"

"How could this be fake?" Wei Xi gave Wei Bei an exasperated look, hurrying ahead.

In a moment of distraction, he almost bumped into Jiang Yisheng, who was on his way out the door.

"What’s the rush? Is someone after you two?" Jiang Yisheng asked with a chuckle.

"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I didn’t see you just now," said Wei Xi.

Jiang Yisheng shook his head, "No problem, I’ve got things to do. I’m leaving now."

Wei Bei pulled Wei Xi along, and they hurried upstairs.

The study door was open, and they walked in one after the other.

"Master."

The man seated at the desk lifted his head, and the frost in his deep black eyes made them almost unbearable to behold.

"Master, we found it, the information is here," Wei Xi presented a file envelope with both hands.

Li Mochan frowned, took the envelope, and pulled out the documents inside for a brief scan.

Wei Bei and Wei Xi exchanged a silent glance.

Moments later, Li Mochan set down the documents, tapping his fingers lightly on the desktop.

Would his home’s little wolf cub be happy knowing this news?

"Master, there’s something else. A few days ago, Organization K released a new type of firearm, and a lot of orders from the Z continent have been snatched by them," Wei Bei said with uncharacteristic gravity.

Wei Xi’s eyes flared with a competitive spirit, eager to have a showdown, "I really want to see the true face of that weaponry genius from Organization K everyone talks about."

To keep snatching orders away from them, from Dark Hall, indicated quite some capability.

Wei Bei cast him a sidelong glance and turned to look at Li Mochan.

Since the bar incident last time, the relationship between Dark Hall and Organization K had grown complicated.

The mastermind behind those men in black hadn’t been exposed, and Organization K couldn’t be completely trusted either. Chu Chen was also known for being crafty; otherwise, he wouldn’t have the nickname "Old Fox."

"Business is about capability; if something’s been taken, just take it back," said a low, mellow voice, unhurried as Li Mochan leaned back, his deep, still eyes revealing an unfathomable glint.

"Secure the eastern territory of Country Y within three days; I want to hear the results."

Wei Bei was startled. The eastern territory of Country Y?

Wasn’t that...

"Master, isn’t that the piece of ’fat meat’ that organization K has been eyeing recently?" Before he could speak, Wei Xi had already exclaimed in shock.

The eastern territory of Country Y was indeed a big piece of ’fat meat’. Recently, everyone knew that organization K was intent on securing that territory; if they intervened now, organization K would certainly not take it lying down. It was possible that they might even come to blows with Dark Hall.

Li Mochan’s gaze swept over him indifferently, "Is that piece of land named after organization K?"

Under the cold scrutiny, Wei Xi hastily shook his head, "No."

But ultimately, Country Y was under organization K’s control, and taking food out of their mouth would not be a simple task.

"Master, we’ve received news that organization K has spent a lot of money for that piece of land, and everyone else has already concluded that it will belong to organization K," Wei Bei hesitated before speaking up.

Country Y was organization K’s domain, while Country M was the domain of Dark Hall; this was a pattern that had been set long ago. For them to vie for the eastern territory on organization K’s turf would greatly increase the difficulty for them.

"Send the set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry to Matt as a sign of Dark Hall’s sincerity," Li Mochan’s thin lips curved in a significant arc, his clear and handsome hand tapping rhythmically on the desk.

At his words, Wei Bei and Wei Xi were taken aback, then realizing the implication behind his words, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

How did they not think of this?

The master was indeed cunning and farsighted.

The eastern territory belonged to the Raite Family, and just the year before last, a power struggle erupted within the family, resulting in the seemingly insignificant Matt seizing the position of family head.

Matt was known to be capricious, yet he was also a filial son; the pigeon blood rubies were his mother’s only heirloom. Circumstances led to them being auctioned off, and Matt had been searching for that set of rubies for years.

With the pigeon blood rubies as a token of sincerity, it was unlikely that Matt would agree so readily to hand over the land to organization K. After all, Dark Hall was not inferior to organization K, and aligning with either side would mean antagonizing the other; it was now up to him to decide.

"Let Wei Nan make a trip there," Li Mochan ordered dispassionately.

Wei Bei nodded, "Understood."

Among the four of them, Wei Nan was meticulous in thought; he and Wei Dong were always the ones to handle negotiations.

"What if we really get that territory and organization K clashes with us?" Wei Xi asked with concern.

If the two major organizations came to blows, both would inevitably suffer losses, and the beneficiaries would definitely be the other organizations, not to mention there was a puppeteer in black lurking in the shadows, always watching them.

Li Mochan’s eyes slightly lifted, flashing with unfathomable darkness, "Chu Chen is not one to act rashly." At most, he would just give Dark Hall some trouble, nothing too serious; a minor skirmish was hardly a concern.

"Master, should we inform the madam about this matter?" Wei Bei ventured to ask.

Li Mochan lowered his head, his deep, ink-like eyes glancing over the documents on the table, his thin lips pressed tight, "Don’t mention this matter in front of her."

He needed to make a trip to Mingchong first, then find an opportunity to tell his cub at home.

...

With a "splash," a large plume of water erupted.

She looked down at the swimming pool, complaining with annoyance, "Hey, you two, what kind of swimming is that? It’s so noisy."

As her words fell, Ji Mingqian emerged from the pool, shaking his head to fling the water droplets from his face.

He looked up, with a mischievous grin, shirking responsibility, "It’s not my fault, it was your man’s idea."

"Whoosh—"

The water suddenly burst, and Chu Chen surfaced, his arms bare as he looked up to the balcony, his gaze intently fixed on the woman’s dazed sleepy face.

"Nuo, come down for breakfast."

Gu Xinuo leaned forward, resting one hand on the windowsill, propping her head as she looked down at the two men in the pool.
