"Huh?" Ji Ze was puzzled.

"I got her medical examination report. All of Gan Yuxi's body functions have aged. Her organs have been replaced, but the rejection is very serious, especially the heart."

After hearing this, Ji Ze fell into a brief contemplation, "It seems that the basement of Longteng International was specially prepared for Gan Yuxi."

Both of them were sharp-minded, and after a little thought, they guessed the ins and outs of the matter almost exactly.

"It's just..." Ji Ze looked at Pei Yan with a serious expression.

"Regarding the matter of killing Gan Yuxi, I think we should take a long-term view and discuss it with your father before making a decision. It was you who proposed that we quit the army and go into business."

"You said it yourself. If all your guesses are true, Gan Yuxi is an Eastern European spy. Once her identity is exposed, no matter whether the Pei and Ji families know about it or not, they will be accused of treason by the world."

"Not to mention the century-old Pei family foundation, your parents will probably be criticized by others. It's fine for me, because I have nothing to lose, but it's different for you."

"The Pei family is not just your family of three, but also the people in the clan. They have wives and children. Some have stable jobs, some are still in their infancy, and some have just been admitted to university."

"Whether she knew about the Ice Sea Battleship or not, she is now cautious. She still needs Pei's help to expand T0's influence. But if she realizes that you want to kill her, will it be a fight to the death? By then, the future of the Pei family will be ruined."

"You have been planning for so long, are you going to throw all your efforts away just because of Lin Man? Ah Yan, you are confused, you still need to calm down."

Ji Ze admitted that his words were selfish.

Pei Yan was tied up, but he had no scruples. He had already secretly sent people to search for Jiang Xuzhi's whereabouts, but he did it without Pei Yan's knowledge. He would help Pei Yan eliminate the hidden dangers, but from now on, fame and fortune would belong to him, and Lin Man would belong to him.

After years of friendship, Ji Ze couldn't help but remind him. After all, killing Gan Yuxi or not has little to do with whether Lin Man can be rescued.

"Ji Ze, you keep saying that you want to cooperate with me, but you are not sincere." Pei Yan's voice was cold, and his ink-black eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and understand everything.

Ji Ze had no intention of hiding his feelings from Pei Yan, and responded frankly: "A Yan, no matter what you do next, she will never forgive you."

No matter whether Pei Yan was heartbroken or overwhelmed at the moment, all Lin Man could see was that she was abandoned. People are only willing to believe what they see, so who would overturn all this and look for the reason?

That's so stupid.

There was a smile on Pei Yan's lips, and his eyes revealed an imperceptible longing. This smile made Ji Ze stunned for a moment.

Pei Yan slowly said, "Do you think that after Lin Man witnessed all this, she would be heartbroken, hate me to the core, and draw a clear line with me?"

"Is not it?"

"She won't."

"Maybe it was like this in the past, but she is now completely different from the one she was a few years ago. She has a brain and can think about problems on her own. She is not the kind of person who relies on love to support her life."

"She has her own career, things she's passionate about, friends to hang out with, and now our child."

Ji Ze was silent.

"But... no matter what, I lost her. I will find her back. Call Pei Yu and ask him to come back."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ze's pupils suddenly dilated, and he asked in shock, "You want to abandon the Pei family?"

At this moment, Ji Ze's phone suddenly rang. He quickly picked it up, put it to his ear and listened to a few words, then said, "Okay, I got it."

Then, Ji Ze handed the phone to Pei Yan and said, "It's your father's number."

Pei Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated expression in his eyes, and said coldly: "Hang up."

Pei Zhenting on the other end of the phone obviously heard Pei Yan's words. He immediately flew into a rage and yelled, "You bastard, you're still mad at me! I sent so many people to you, and you lost them yourself, and you blame me?"

"Who helped you block the border ports and airports? You took so many people out, but you couldn't even find a single person. You have no conscience!"

Pei Zhenting scolded him heartily and mercilessly. Seeing this, Ji Ze quickly picked up the phone, said a few words of comfort to Pei's father, and then hung up.

He reached out and patted Pei Yan's shoulder, comforting him: "Uncle holds an important position, and it is not easy for him to achieve this step. Don't blame him."

"I know that my wife is mine, not his. But if I don't do this to the extreme, how can he treat Lin Man as a family member?"

Ji Ze was silent.

Next time, Pei Zhenting will use his full strength, right?

Rather than holding back now.

Both father and son are romantic, yet so rational.

This is full of contradictions, isn't it?

At the door of the operating room, Han Ming woke up from his sleep and raised his hand to rub his swollen temple. When did he fall asleep? But the moment he opened his eyes, his heart suddenly shrank and a strong sense of uneasiness surged into his heart.

Han Ming quickly reached out and pushed the person next to him, shouting hastily, "Hey, wake up! Where's Gan Yuxi?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Han Ming was stunned and cried out in his heart: "Not good!"

-

The afterglow of the setting sun faded, the sky was dyed orange and red, and night fell.

In the operating room, the instruments made a monotonous ticking sound, and the lights were pale and dazzling. Han Ming had already had the food delivered. Since he was going to act, he would act thoroughly. Pei Yan never left the operating room from beginning to end.

The operating light had been on from the beginning, and its cold light was spreading wantonly, but it could never penetrate the darkness as thick as ink in Pei Yan's heart.

The thought kept flashing through his mind: What would happen to him if something really happened to Lin Man? He didn't dare to think about it any further. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he felt as if countless sharp needles were piercing his nerves, as if he would be driven to the brink of madness in the next second.

Ji Ze leaned on the operating table, exuding a depressed aura. Both of them were silent. The food was placed beside them, but no one had the heart to eat a bite.

In the dead silence, the door of the operating room was suddenly pushed open, and a man and Han Ming rushed into the room almost at the same time, and their eyes met in the air.

Finally, the man was the first to break the silence. His tone was respectful but he could not hide his nervousness. "Boss Pei, the sniper has arrived at the designated location, but he has not seen Gan Yuxi yet. I asked someone to check the surveillance and found that Gan Yuxi has not returned."

Han Ming also hurried forward to report: "Boss Pei, we originally planned to arrange someone to follow Gan Yuxi, but I don't know what happened. We all fell asleep at the door of the operating room."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei! I will go and apologize. It was my fault!"

As he spoke, Han Ming's face was filled with guilt. He lowered his head, not daring to look Pei Yan in the eye, for fear that he would see disappointment in his eyes and that he was incompetent.

In an instant, Pei Yan's aura dropped to freezing point, so cold that it made people shudder. Seeing this, Ji Ze said softly, "Got it, keep waiting, don't act rashly, maybe she is hiding in the dark and observing us now."

After everyone left, Ji Ze looked at Pei Yan and said, "A Yan, I've said it before, it's not easy to kill Gan Yuxi."

"It seems that she has never believed you since she came back. I'm afraid she had already noticed it when we were on the Ice Sea Battleship."

"If Xiaojun is not mistaken, she should have arrived in Hai City a long time ago. She has not shown up yet, but is just waiting to show up at the wedding and force you to accept her."

"She even created a hype for herself in front of the media, so that you not only had to protect her in a short period of time, but also had no way to do anything to her. This Miss Gan is really amazing."

If Gan Tian acts rashly and has a confused mind, then Miss Gan Yuxi is completely different. She knows very well how to protect herself in complicated situations. She is extremely smart.

Pei Yan's eyes were cold. "When she was in the military academy, her test scores were the best among the girls. Her anti-reconnaissance ability was even better. Her ability to control her emotions was also better than many people."

Someone once said that this is a gift from God.

But Pei Yan didn't think so. Now it seemed that this kind of talent could only be developed by enduring extraordinary training since childhood.

"What should we do now? She suddenly disappeared, maybe she has noticed something. If we act rashly, she will most likely throw in the towel."

"By then, it won't be good for you, me, or the Pei family. But for her, it's just the exposure of an undercover agent who has been lurking for many years."

Ji Ze leaned against the bed in the operating room, raised his head, his face full of worry.

"She won't." At this moment, Pei Yan spoke coldly. He looked up at Ji Ze and said, "Don't forget, T0 is not on the market yet. She still needs the help of the Pei family."

"What's more, for an undercover agent, once his identity is exposed, he loses his value of existence. She is a smart person. Just because she doesn't trust us doesn't mean she trusts Eastern Europe."

"What do you mean?" Ji Ze raised his head in confusion.

"She doesn't trust anyone, and her next move is entirely determined by how to maximize her own interests."

Ji Ze was silent for a long time.

At this moment, Han Ming, who had left, came back. He looked solemn and walked in hurriedly.

He handed a cell phone to Pei Yan and said in a deep voice, "Boss Pei, this is Gan Yuxi's call."

Pei Yan paused, then raised his head and met Ji Ze's eyes. After a moment, he reached out to take the phone and slowly put it to his ear.

A familiar and gentle female voice came slowly: "A Yan, you are really disappointing."

"You brutally murdered my sister for a mere woman, and now you're going to kill me for her. You're really going to drive us sisters into a desperate situation."

Her tone deliberately rose, and there was an indescribable sense of disharmony in her soft voice.

Pei Yan's face was as cold as ice. His right fingers subconsciously tapped the table lightly, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound. Then he asked in a deep voice: "Where are you?"

Gan Yuxi laughed softly. Holding the pool cue, she slowly stood up, leaned lazily on the pool table, took the handkerchief handed to her by the servant, and gently wiped her forehead.

"Ayan, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to ask something else? For example, the safety of your sweetheart."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Ze clearly felt a cold aura instantly spreading around Pei Yan. His hand holding the phone kept tightening, and his knuckles turned white, as if he was going to crush the phone in the next second.

Seeing this, Ji Ze hurriedly stood up and quickly put his hand on Pei Yan's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Gan Yuxi seemed to have noticed the movement here, and reminded lightly: "Ayan, there seems to be someone next to you. Could it be the deputy captain of our Ice Sea battleship?"

"You two together are really giving me a headache. Over the years, I have spent a lot of effort trying to separate you. Even with Lin Man's help, I couldn't make you turn against each other."

"Now you are all gathered together again. It seems that this deputy captain also played a big role in my falling into the sea."

When Ji Ze heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his hand hanging on his right side slowly clenched. As expected, she knew everything.

However, Pei Yan ignored Gan Yuxi's words and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Lin Man?"

"No, no, no." Gan Yuxi said lightly, "Ayan, I am really sad that you miss another woman in front of me. Back then, I really liked you."

"I even thought about recruiting you to Eastern Europe and offering you the best treatment. I also planned to speak well of you in front of the adults and help you get promoted."

"In such a complicated environment, I could only relax for a moment in front of you. But I never expected that this moment of relaxation would almost cost me my life."

"I never thought you were so perceptive that you doubted me just because of the way I used chopsticks. You really make me sad."

"I've loved and hated, but now my heart feels empty." Gan Yuxi immersed herself in memories of the past, slowly closed her eyes, and leaned weakly on the pool table.

Her face was complicated, her cold lips slightly curled up, and the glaring headlights above her head made her expression dim and unclear.

Pei Yan turned a deaf ear to Gan Yuxi's whining. If it weren't for Lin Man's safety, he would have hung up the phone long ago.

At this moment, he suppressed his impatience and asked again in a deep voice: "Where is Lin Man?"

Gan Yuxi still ignored Pei Yan's question. Ji Ze was not surprised by this. In his opinion, Gan Yuxi was a ruthless woman, but also extremely strong-willed and very formal.

From Gan Yuxi's perspective, she had humbled herself and taken the initiative to call Pei Yan, but Pei Yan was only concerned about the safety of another woman, so she was naturally angry.

Just as Pei Yan opened his lips and was about to ask for the third time, "Where is Lin Man?", Ji Ze reached out, gently pinched his shoulder, and slowly shook his head.

He signaled Pei Yan with his eyes to listen to Gan Yuxi finish her words.

"Ayan, do you know how I have survived these years?"
