“Uncle, please don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter.” Yu Anwan reassured Shen Xingyuan.

Shen Xingyuan responded with a nod. “You have to be careful. I have a feeling that the other party is targeting you.”

“I’ll be careful,” Yu Anwan replied.

Afterward, Shen Xingyuan gave her some instructions before ending the call.

Yu Anwan held her phone and remained standing in the same spot, unmoving. In her memory, the only people who had tried to undermine her and make her disappear from this fragrance banquet were the Yu family.

The Yu family was determined to obtain the formula, and their path to success relied on Han Qingqiu’s formula. However, Yu Anwan closely monitored every move of the Yu family, making it impossible for them to succeed.

With determination, Yu Anwan picked up her phone once more and made a direct request, “Please help me investigate something.”

Listening to Yu Anwan’s request, Song Zhi grumbled, “You’re quite something.

You never come to me for anything good, but when it’s about work, you’re quicker than anyone else.”

Yu Anwan ignored his teasing and stated her request plainly, “I need you to investigate the surveillance cameras of the Swiss bank, specifically the ones related to my mother’s will. It seems someone tampered with them, and I need to restore the footage.”

Song Zhi sighed, mumbling, “You only know how to use me.”

Yu Anwan nodded and admitted frankly, “After all, I’m your benefactor.”

Song Zhi continued to grumble, but Yu Anwan was firm, “I want the results by tomorrow!”

Song Zhi was speechless.

“F*ck, I’ve seen arrogant people, but I’ve never seen someone as arrogant as Yu Anwan.” Song Zhi thought.

However, Song Zhi remained silent. After all, Yu Anwan was his debtor-cum-sponsor.

If Yu Anwan was unhappy and withdrew her investment, he would be ready to pack up and live on the streets.

Sob, sob, sob. If that happened, he was going to die.

Yu Anwan didn’t waste any time and hung up the phone.

After that, Yu Anwan didn’t take this matter to heart.

At this moment, Yu Anwan’s phone vibrated. She looked down at an incoming call and fell silent.

When Yu Anwan first became famous as Professor Grace, she had an accident on the way to an operation and was kidnapped.

This was also the first and only time Yu Anwan had failed.

She was transported directly to her destination with her eyes covered. It was only later that she discovered her captors were mercenaries, and the person they intended to operate on was their leader.

Although Yu Anwan had the opportunity to tamper with the surgery, she knew all too well that doing so would ultimately lead to her demise.

Therefore, she reluctantly proceeded with the operation. Throughout the entire procedure, the leader’s face remained concealed, and Yu Anwan was only allowed to leave the base once the danger had passed.

However, the other party’s recent unwillingness to cooperate had left Yu Anwan feeling discontent.

Before her departure, she had torn off the cover that concealed the leader’s face, and what she saw had left her stunned.

She had expected the leader of the mercenaries to be rugged and repulsive, but to her surprise, she was met with an incredibly handsome face.

For a brief moment, Yu Anwan was taken aback.

However, without hesitation, she attempted to escape. Yet, the leader’s reaction was swift, and he immediately grasped her hand. Even though he had just emerged from a life-threatening situation, his grip remained remarkably strong.

In his sharp gaze, Yu Anwan could distinctly sense a dangerous aura.

“Do you know what happened to people who saw my true face?” the other party asked, his voice turning colder.

Yu Anwan knew only too well that she had been remarkably composed at that moment. “They died. But if I die, I’ll make sure to take you down with me.”

These words were a threat, plain and simple, akin to throwing caution to the wind.

Yu Anwan had even prepared for the worst.

In response, the other party suddenly chuckled and introduced themselves.

“Interesting. I am Falcon.”

Yu Anwan was taken aback, but she had heard of the name Falcon. It was one of the world’s top mercenaries. Yu Anwan had spent many years mingling among the rich and powerful, so she had heard of Falcon, more or less.

She just hadn’t anticipated that one day she would be performing surgery on Falcon.

She also hadn’t expected Falcon to be so strikingly handsome, as though he had stepped out of the pages of a comic book.

However, that sinister and cold aura always left those close to Falcon feeling chilled to the bone.

After that incident, the dynamic between Yu Anwan and Falcon became somewhat peculiar.

Yu Anwan had never initiated contact with Falcon, yet Falcon occasionally reached out to her, and Yu Anwan never declined.

Falcon would even come to London to share a meal with Yu Anwan. He was a man of few words, but every time he came, he would bring a gift for Yu Anwan.

It might be jewelry, a handbag, or simply a casually chosen trinket.

All in all, Yu Anwan had met with Falcon quite a few times over the years.

When Falcon appeared, he was always impeccably dressed.

Yet, they never delved into unnecessary conversation, behaving as if heroes didn’t question origins.

But whenever Yu Anwan faced trouble, Falcon would extend unwavering assistance. The peculiarity was that Yu Anwan rarely sought out Falcon.

It was Falcon who took the initiative.

For reasons unbeknownst to her, Yu Anwan had a feeling that she held a unique place in Falcon’s considerations.

Yu Anwan was well aware of Falcon’s reputation. This person was ruthlessly unyielding, leaving no room for compromise.

However, there was an inexplicable illusion that Falcon had an unspoken hold over everything concerning Yu Anwan. Otherwise, why would he unfailingly appear whenever she needed him, just like now when the formula had been stolen and Falcon materialized within seconds?

Yu Anwan silently chuckled and calmly answered the phone, “What brings you to call me?”

“Do you need my assistance?” the other party’s warm voice inquired, its tone calm, devoid of discernible emotion.

But this tone conveyed as if everything that happened to Yu Anwan was within his anticipation.

Yu Anwan remained quiet for a moment. “Not for now.”

“Alright. Reach out if you require anything,” Falcon nodded.

“Okay,” Yu Anwan replied, and both ends of the call fell silent. It seemed that in the presence of Falcon, Yu Anwan couldn’t help but become noticeably more reserved.

However, Falcon didn’t hang up.

Yu Anwan wasn’t in a hurry.

It wasn’t until Falcon’s voice resurfaced, “In Jiang City?”

“Yes,” Yu Anwan confirmed.

“As luck would have it, I’ll be in Jiang City in a few days. We can have dinner together then,” Falcon casually proposed.

“Sure,” Yu Anwan readily agreed.

If there was something Yu Anwan couldn’t refuse, she wouldn’t create trouble for herself.

She had resisted in the past, but Falcon always had a thousand ways to make her yield. Moreover, Yu Anwan was well aware that she had Dabao and Xiaobao by her side, and she wouldn’t make light of their safety, no matter what she did..
