My Youth Began With Him

Han Yueyao cooperatively nodded her head and leaned into Su Yu's embrace.

Furious, Zeng Rou turned around in a huff, hailed a cab, and headed back to the hospital.

- Outside the VIP Patient Room -

Four bodyguards stood guard outside Zeng Rou's room in shifts.

"Ms. Zeng, welcome back," the bodyguard greeted Zeng Rou. However, the latter was in a crappy mood and went into the room with an ugly expression on her face. She threw her purse onto the bed and fell into it…

Suddenly, her phone rang. After looking at the caller ID, Zeng Rou rejected the call; this was a secret code between her and the commander… she knew that the commander wanted to hear about what happened.

At this thought, Zeng Rou got up anxiously, took a deep breath in, and dialed another number.

- At the same time -

Professor Lu was already on his way back to the U.S. Lu Yan, on the other hand, was headed to Las Vegas in her private jet. She had a plan: she was going to pick up Qiao Fei and switch the fake Lu Yan out. Then, she'll cause a scene at one of the casinos so everyone would think that she was in Las Vegas the entire time.

"Boss, do you want something to eat?"

"No."

"What about red wine?"

"Sure."

Lu Yan had just taken a shower and was watching world news on the couch. She was wearing a blinking earpiece… Lu Yan had placed a bug in Zeng Rou's purse and was listening in on Zeng Rou's every move.

She was sure she would obtain important intel. How dare this woman secretly monitor her sister… so, Lu Yan was going to monitor her right back.

As expected…

After some initial white noise, Zeng Rou's voice sounded in Lu Yan's ear.

"Commander."

"How did the mission go?" The voice of an old man sounded from the other end of the phone.

Lu Yan listened intently, but didn't recognize the voice of this man. She guessed that he must be between 55 and 65 years old.

"Commander… something happened to the bug, I think I have been exposed."

"How is that possible? We have the most advanced technology, the highest military-grade! Plus, if Qin Chu really figured things out, he wouldn't have waited. Did you say something that exposed you?"

"I don't think so, but I couldn't hear anything."

"Did anyone else board on the ship?"

"Nothing, other than Huo Siqian and his people."

"Lu Yan didn't show up?" the old man asked in disbelief.

Lu Yan's lips formed a small smile upon hearing her own name.

"How interesting," she said as she swirled her wine glass.

"Lu Yan didn't come… at least, I didn't see her…" Zeng Rou said.

"Even if she didn't come in person, she would've called. Zeng Rou, are you hiding something from me?"

"Commander, have I not done everything you've asked me to do? In order to obtain Huo Mian's trust, I even saved her and almost sacrificed myself! I've never disobeyed any of your orders, how can you suspect my loyalty?"

"It was just a question, don't think too much into it. You must be exhausted."

"Yes, it was an exhausting day…" Zeng Rou's fury was ignited again at the thought of Su Yu's attitude as well as what happened on the ship.

"It's okay that we failed this time, we'll think of another way. That's all."

As Lu Yan listened to the man talk, she took out a piece of equipment and recorded his voice. Then, she turned to her people. "Take this recording and search the voice bank. See if you can find out who this person is."

Lu Yan's modus operandi was the same as it always was - if these people had the intention to hurt her sister, she would make them disappear.
