Chapter 261 Weakness
This news immediately caused a stir at the boarding gate.

Many passengers who were on the same flight as Tang Xu went to the airline's ground staff to demand an explanation.

However, the final response was: the flight was canceled due to force majeure, and it was indeed impossible to fly today. We can only provide everyone with corresponding compensation, including reimbursement for airfare and accommodation.

Of course, such a result could not satisfy everyone. Although Tang Xu had doubts, she did not care too much. So, not long after, she followed a group of people out of the airport and boarded the bus arranged by the airline.

The bus arrived smoothly at the hotel arranged by the airline, and check-in was completed.

The hotel environment was quite nice. Tang Xu was assigned a double room. It was already past eight o'clock when she entered the room, but it was still light out.

She sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the sky and city outside the window, lost in thought.

……

In a detached house just across the street, Gao Yan was sitting on the sofa, absentmindedly working on his computer, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

He paused in his work, looked up at the door, wondering who would come at this hour, put down his computer, and got up to walk towards the door.

The moment Gao Yan saw the other person through the video doorbell, his expression changed slightly.

The other person probably knew he was being watched, and even smiled and waved to the camera.

Gao Yan's expression was stiff. After a moment of contemplation, he finally opened the door.

Outside the door, Yan Fengqi stood there elegantly and calmly. When he saw Gao Yan, he slightly moved his palm, gesturing for Gao Yan to stand to the side.

Gao Yan was still a little confused, and subconsciously moved according to his instructions.

By the time they realized what was happening, Yan Fengqi had already swaggered into the house.

"Second Young Master!" Gao Yan called out to him hurriedly.

Yan Fengqi acted as if he hadn't heard anything, walked straight to the sofa, and sat down.

Gao Yan glanced outside the door again before closing it and walking up to Yan Fengqi. "Second Young Master, you shouldn't have come here."

Yan Fengqi completely ignored him, looked around the room's decor and furnishings, and then asked, "Where is Yan Shiyu?"

“Mr. Yan is resting,” Gao Yan replied quickly.

Yan Fengqi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the time. "Resting at this hour? He's been out of the public eye for over three months, and there are all sorts of rumors going around. Everyone says he's been recuperating abroad since he was a child, and now it's highly likely that his old illness has relapsed, which is why he can't show his face... Is it really true?"

Gao Yan's face was already not very good, and upon hearing this, his chest heaved even more, and he remained silent for a moment.

Yan Fengqi didn't look at him, but said, "Since you can't answer, then call your boss down."

Yan Fengqi was ultimately someone Gao Yan couldn't handle. After a moment's hesitation, Gao Yan turned and went upstairs.

He stood at the door of Yan Shiyu's room, hesitated for a long time, and finally gently knocked on the door.

After a long silence, Gao Yan finally spoke softly, "Mr. Yan, Yan Fengqi has arrived..."

In the room, Yan Shiyu sat in front of the computer, quietly watching the small red dot on the screen.

That red dot that was once so close to him, then gradually drifted away, and now it's getting close again.

After a long while, he closed his laptop, got up, walked to the door, and opened it. Gao Yan stood outside, his brows and eyes filled with worry.

Yan Shiyu pretended not to see him and slowly walked downstairs.

Yan Fengqi, who was sitting on the sofa with his back to the stairs, heard footsteps but did not turn around. Instead, he laughed silently.

He only looked up when Yan Shiyu gradually came into his sight.

This sight surprised him, and he raised an eyebrow.

After disappearing for more than three months, he originally thought that Yan Shiyu might have already become a ghost, neither human nor ghost, and that he was hiding because he couldn't bear to be seen by people.

But Yan Shiyu in front of me, apart from being a little thinner and having a darker look in his eyes, is not much different from before.

Yan Fengqi chuckled, quickly looked away, and turned his gaze back to the house. He said, "So, all these years, you've been hiding here, like a rat in the sewers, afraid to show your face, lest someone discover your existence, right?"

Yan Shiyu sat down on the sofa opposite him, looking at him quietly, her eyes deep and expressionless.

"And this time?" Yan Fengqi asked again, "Why did you hide this time? Was it because you disobeyed and were punished by the old man?"

Yan Shiyu looked at him calmly, and after a long silence, she slowly said, "You actually dared to come."

Yan Fengqi knew exactly what he was referring to.

Since this was arranged by Old Master Yan, it must be under his surveillance.

Yan Fengqi chuckled and said, "I've dealt with that old man for so many years, I have plenty of ways to put his mind at ease. Unlike you, in the end, you still have to obediently be his puppet."

Faced with Yan Fengqi's mockery, Yan Shiyu remained extremely calm, without even a change in his eyes. "So, what do you want to do with a puppet?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fengqi did not reply for a moment, but instead scrutinized Yan Shiyu.

Yan Shiyu was also looking at him.

In the end, after a nearly silent contest, Yan Fengqi spoke first: "Where is Qiao Ling?"

Yan Shiyu remained expressionless. "Do you think I would say that?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fengqi chuckled, then slowly stood up and paced around the room. "It's already come to this point, are you sure you still want to put on a brave face? Don't say I look down on you as an opponent. What do you have left? Power, freedom, women—you have none of them. Oh no, there is one thing you still have, and that is... your weakness."

At this point, Yan Fengqi leaned against the window and looked at him again, "Tang Xu, how is it?"

Upon hearing Tang Xu's name, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in Yan Shiyu's eyes.

Seeing this, Yan Fengqi smiled with satisfaction, "Just as I thought. Someone like you, raised in a place like this, no matter how gentle and upright you appear on the surface, and praised by everyone, only you know the darkness and stubbornness in your bones, and it can never be changed. How could someone like you, once you've made up your mind about someone or something, just let go? Since you can't let go, you probably don't want to see Tang Xu get into trouble, right?"

After Yan Fengqi finished speaking, he crossed his arms and waited for Yan Shiyu's reaction.

Yan Shiyu lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Do you understand so much because you are that kind of person too?"

Yan Fengqi only sneered, "What's the use of saying all this? You should make a decision sooner rather than later. I don't like this place in Northern Europe, so I won't be very patient. What happens to Tang Xu is up to you."

However, a moment later, all that could be heard was Yan Shiyu's two nonchalant words: "Whatever you want."
