The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1173: Chapter 365–366

Although Duan Haibo appears as "Little Duan" in front of Li Yan, he’s not much younger, and when two mature men discuss ’love’, it’s certainly not filled with the same expectations and hopes as teenagers do, but more with a sense of helplessness.

Love is not about treating someone to a meal, but when two people live together, they can’t avoid the everyday necessities like rice, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, nor can they avoid issues regarding house, car, money, children, and reputation...

Li Yan nodded in agreement. To this day, he’s still not sure if Zhang Tianyi and his wife can accept his identity, or whether they will tell his parents, or even if his parents can handle it. And that’s just one issue; he has more than one woman...

Seeing him a bit downcast, Duan Haibo smiled and said, "Brother Li, don’t worry. Sister-in-law is surely easier to talk to..."

Li Yan smiled. He hadn’t introduced Zhang Yurong to Duan Haibo; Duan Haibo probably knew about Huang Ying. That time when Huang Ying got into trouble, it wasn’t intended to kill Ye Jiahong; it was him who dealt with that business representative, having Duan Haibo confront Ye Jiahong.

While the two of them sighed over this issue, someone opened the door, and Lv Lijun peeked in. Seeing the two of them smoking, she joked, "Brother-in-law, Brother Li, it’s not like we don’t allow you to smoke, why are you hiding?"

Li Yan laughed and said, "Actually, I have some business with your brother-in-law."

"..." Duan Haibo and Lv Lijun both broke into a cold sweat.

...

Chong City is located in the eastern part of Shi’en Province and is the seat of the Xiaobei Weili Autonomous Prefecture government. It’s a city with a population of about 500,000, with nearly 60% of the population being Weili race.

The transportation in Chong City is still very convenient. The railway can directly reach several cities in East Extension, as well as Yundu, Van Gogh, and the international railway line leading to the Weili and Ono countries.

Whether it was Li Yan or Zheng Tian, to Park Changnan, they were figures hidden behind the scenes. Even if he could guess that this incident was related to Zheng Tian, on the land of Yun Country, he mostly stayed hidden. His reach wasn’t very long; he was already a figure active in the underworld, and dealing with him wouldn’t leave too many traces.

So, they came in batches, without needing to transfer by railway or highways, directly switching to flights to come over. Chong City International Airport has domestic flights to Yundu, Tandu, Xiangnan, Dongsheng, and Van Gogh, as well as international flights to R City in the Liguo. Coming over was not too troublesome.

After arriving in Chong City, Zheng Tian, who arrived first, had already arranged the hotel accommodations and sent people to pick up Li Yan and Duan Haibo.

The person picking up Li Yan seemed to be someone he’d seen before —— presumably a trusted subordinate cum bodyguard of Zheng Tian. And after reaching the hotel, in the spacious suite, Zheng Tian warmly shook hands with Li Yan. The completion of his many years of wish this time made the old man quite excited.

"This must be... Brother Duan? Don’t be too formal, Brother Li always mentions you to me." Zheng Tian did not neglect Duan Haibo, even though he didn’t know what kind of person Duan Haibo was. But since he had Li Yan’s respect, it was estimated that he was also a formidable assassin, or perhaps a subordinate working for Li Yan! He might even rely on him this time.

"Hello, Boss Zheng."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Little Duan is just here for fun. And about what I mentioned to you earlier, you could help us arrange some acquisition agreements or something, showing that we went together to gamble on stones, and both Little Duan and I had unimaginably good luck, and since we’re not intent on managing, we sold them directly to you at a lower price."

What kind of person is Zheng Tian? With decades of experience, what hasn’t he been through? He immediately laughed and said, "Understood! That’s not a problem, I manage a variety of businesses on Cloud Island, and have companies for that. It’s just a form of private agreement. Haha, us old folks have been left behind by the times. Even in our youthful days, we wouldn’t have thought of such methods."

After the formalities, Zheng Tian solemnly introduced the two people sitting still. "Everyone... should count as old friends knowing each other quite well. Let me introduce two experts to you two younger fellows!"

Those two were different from the serious and cautious trusted subordinates before; they had a completely different aura. Not just Li Yan, even Duan Haibo sensed their difference the moment he came in, and he paid attention to them.

When Zheng Tian mentioned ’knowing each other quite well’, it meant that Duan Haibo definitely knew about Li Yan’s identity, and since Li Yan didn’t avoid mentioning it, neither did he. But it also served as a reminder to Li Yan —— if he didn’t want Duan Haibo to know, he should have raised it by now.

Duan Haibo also understood, so he turned to look at Li Yan at this moment.

Li Yan didn’t say anything. He had a deeper understanding of Zheng Tian’s matters, and naturally quickly guessed who these two were. They were definitely the representatives of the assassin organization that Zheng Tian kept. This was also the most important line of defense, like death warriors, around Nian Yufei when she encountered danger.

As an assassin who encountered counterparts, he also was very aware that these two seemed constantly calm, even a bit arrogant, sitting there, but from the moment he entered, they were observing him! There wasn’t a strong murderous intent or hostility, but at least there was a trace of unwillingness or discontent. It’s likely that Zheng Tian had told them about his identity, especially emphasizing Old Man Mu conveying his abilities when he saved Nian Yufei before, which made them feel a bit discontented.

"We’re not the experts. These two fellow friends are the real experts, right?" A relatively weak-looking man among them spoke in slightly imperfect Yun Language.
