After I died, they cried in the live studio

Suddenly, a wild cat jumped across the roof and meowed. The men in black were attracted and chased in the direction of the sound.

Nancy and Sang Shuwan waited for a long time, and only after making sure that the men in black had completely left did they collapse on the ground, gasping for breath.

"It was too dangerous..." Sang Shuwan said with lingering fear.

Nancy wiped the sweat from her forehead and her eyes became firm: "We have escaped this time, but those people will definitely come after us again. We have to find a way quickly. Not only must we ensure our safety, but we must also continue to investigate Yi Shuqi's case."

Sang Shuwan looked at Nancy and nodded vigorously. In this alley in a foreign country, the two were determined to continue to fight against unknown dangers in order to find the truth.

After experiencing the thrilling life-and-death crisis in Persia, Nancy and Sang Shuwan completely understood that this place was already a dangerous place with fatal dangers hidden every minute and every second. In order to return home alive, they carefully planned and decided to leave quietly in the most comprehensive way.

Nancy looked at her face in the mirror, thinking about how to disguise herself to deceive the enemy. She picked up a large black felt hat with its brim drooped, almost covering most of her face, revealing only a pair of vigilant eyes. Then, she put on a heavy black robe, which was not only ordinary in style but also dark in color, perfectly blending into the background of the crowd. She turned around in front of the mirror a few times, and after confirming that there were no flaws, she looked at Sang Shuwan who was also busy with her disguise.

Sang Shuwan was struggling to put her long hair up and stuff it into a worn-out cloth. Her fingers were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered from the shock. Nancy stepped forward and whispered, "Let me help you." Her movements were gentle and skillful. She quickly arranged Sang Shuwan's hair, put a cloth on her, and changed her into a plain and inconspicuous coarse linen dress. In an instant, she changed from a rich girl to an ordinary maid.

After the two of them finished their disguises, they looked at each other to make sure there were no omissions. Nancy took a deep breath, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness: "Let's go, we must return home safely."

They first hired a shabby-looking carriage on the street. The body of the carriage was covered with dust, and there were several obvious scratches on the wooden carriage. The wheels also looked a bit worn and seemed to fall apart at any time. The driver was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life. He looked at the two of them, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but did not ask much. Nancy handed the money she had prepared in advance to the driver and whispered, "Take us to [name of a distant port], the faster the better." The driver took the money, nodded, waved the whip in his hand, and the carriage started slowly.

The carriage moved forward with difficulty on the bumpy dirt road, and every bump made Nancy and Sang Shuwan's bodies shake. The inside of the carriage was as hot as a steamer, and the air was filled with the smell of old leather and dust. Sang Shuwan sat uneasily in her seat, her eyes looking out the window from time to time, her fingers twisting the corners of her clothes nervously. From time to time, she lifted a corner of the curtain to observe the situation outside, and kept muttering: "I don't know if those people are chasing us. If they find out that we have escaped, they will definitely not give up."

Nancy reached out and gently patted the back of Sang Shuwan's hand, trying to calm her down: "Don't be afraid, we have been very careful. As long as we keep a low profile, it will be difficult for them to find us." However, Nancy's eyes also revealed a hint of nervousness. She was always vigilantly paying attention to the movements outside the car window, not missing any possible danger signals.

As the carriage gradually moved away from the scene, Nancy's mood did not relax much. She knew that Sang Jiuyue's power might be everywhere and danger could come again at any time. During the long journey, the scene of being besieged by the men in black kept appearing in her mind. Those cold daggers and fierce eyes seemed to be still in front of her. She secretly vowed to make Sang Jiuyue pay the price for her actions.

After several hours of bumpy ride, the carriage finally arrived at the port. The port was a busy scene with people coming and going and the noise was endless. People of all colors and clothes were walking around the docks, and the porters were carrying heavy goods in a hurry. Ships were coming in and out, and the whistles were heard one after another.

Nancy tightly grasped the two boat tickets in her hand. The tickets were soaked with her sweat and wrinkled. Her fingers turned slightly white because of the force. The two tickets were their hope to go home and the most important thing for them at the moment. She pulled Sang Shuwan and carefully shuttled through the crowd, like two small fish swimming hard in a turbulent river, trying not to be separated by the crowd.

Sang Shuwan was obviously not used to such a crowded environment. She was pushed around by the crowd and almost lost contact with Nancy several times. She shouted in fear: "Nancy, wait for me!" There was a hint of crying in her voice. Nancy turned around quickly, held Sang Shuwan's hand tightly, protected her behind her, and whispered: "Follow me closely, don't make any sound. We will be able to get on the boat soon."

They moved forward with difficulty in the crowd, and every step they took had to be on guard against possible dangers. Finally, they saw the ship that would take them back home. The ship was tall and majestic, standing out among the many ships in the port, and it was particularly eye-catching. The hull was painted white, shining in the sunlight.

The two came to the boarding gate of the ship and handed the ticket to the ticket inspector. The ticket inspector took the ticket, glanced at it casually, and then waved his hand, indicating that they could board the ship. Nancy and Sang Shuwan walked up the gangway, and the tension in their hearts eased a little. They found their cabin, which was a small room with two narrow beds and a small window.

Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, they heard footsteps and voices coming from the deck. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be heading towards their cabin. Sang Shuwan's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Nancy in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Are they here? Have we been discovered?"

Nancy's heart also suddenly tightened. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movement outside. Her hands clenched unconsciously, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. The voices outside became clearer and clearer, and they heard a few vague conversations: "Check this area to see if there are any suspicious people." "Okay, be careful."

Sang Shuwan's body began to tremble slightly. She held Nancy's arm tightly, her nails digging into Nancy's skin. Nancy whispered to comfort her: "Don't panic, listen first. Maybe it's just a false alarm."

After a while, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the voices also disappeared. Nancy and Sang Shuwan finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the bed. Their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and their heartbeats were still beating violently.

During the long voyage that followed, Nancy and Sang Shuwan spent most of their time hiding in their cabins, not daring to show up easily. They were afraid of being discovered by Sang Jiuyue's spies and being put in danger again. When eating, they also asked the flight attendants to deliver food to the cabin to minimize contact with the outside world.

Every day, Nancy would look out the small window at the endless sea. The waves hit the side of the boat, making a rhythmic sound. The sun shines on the sea, sparkling and breathtakingly beautiful. However, Nancy had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She was always worried about what she would do after returning home. She knew that Sang Jiuyue would definitely not give up. What was waiting for them after returning home might be a bigger challenge.

Sang Shuwan spent most of her time lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. The dangerous scenes kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with fear and anxiety. Nancy often sat by her bed, comforting her, telling her some interesting stories, trying to make her feel better.

Finally, after a long sea voyage, the ship slowly sailed into the domestic port. Nancy and Sang Shuwan stood on the deck, looking at the approaching land, with mixed feelings in their hearts. After going through untold hardships, they finally returned to their homeland.

After the boat docked, Nancy and Sang Shuwan followed the crowd down the boat. They stepped onto the familiar land, feeling a sense of relief and yet full of worry. At this moment, Sang Shuwan suddenly pointed to a place not far away and said excitedly, "Nancy, look, is that one of ours?"

Nancy looked in the direction Sang Shuwan pointed, and saw a group of people walking towards them, led by Nancy's housekeeper. The housekeeper was an old man over fifty years old, with gray hair, but his eyes were still sharp. He walked over quickly, his face full of anxiety and concern: "Miss, you are finally back, we were so worried! You must have suffered a lot outside during this time, right?"

Nancy looked at the familiar face of the housekeeper, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She nodded and said tiredly, "Let's go home first." The housekeeper quickly arranged for someone to take their luggage, and everyone surrounded them and got into the car.

The car started slowly, and Nancy looked out the window at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scene. People on the street were in a hurry, shops were lined up, and everything seemed so lively. However, Nancy did not feel the slightest bit of joy in her heart. She secretly vowed: "Sang Jiuyue, we will settle this account sooner or later, and I will definitely get to the bottom of Yi Shuqi's secret." Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if she had already seen the final showdown with Sang Jiuyue.

After experiencing the thrilling crisis in Persia, Nancy and Sang Shuwan hurriedly fled in disguise. Nancy was wrapped in a wrinkled, old-colored black robe, and her wide hat was pulled down very low, almost covering her entire face, revealing only a pair of vigilant eyes. Sang Shuwan dressed as a maid, wearing a simple linen dress, her hair hidden in a tattered cloth, and her expression was nervous and embarrassed.

They had a bumpy ride and finally boarded the ship back home. In the small, cramped cabin filled with damp and moldy smell, Nancy sat on the hard bed and couldn't help complaining: "If Sang Jiuyue hadn't sent people to chase us, would we be in such a mess? I am the daughter of the Nan Group. I should be sitting comfortably in the first class cabin of the plane, enjoying the champagne and exquisite snacks handed by the flight attendants. But now I can only stay in this broken ship!" As she said this, she looked around with disdain, raised her hand and patted the wooden board beside her, raising a cloud of dust.

Sang Shuwan smiled bitterly and sat down, saying soothingly, "Luckily you can leave safely. Look at this bed, it's as hard as a rock. I didn't sleep well the whole way."

The boat was shaking, and Nancy almost fell off the bed. She steadied herself and said unhappily, "This is not a boat, it's a cradle on the sea, designed to rock people to no peace. I think Sang Jiuyue is jealous of my ability to fly freely, so she's deliberately doing something bad. When we return home, I'll make her know what happens if she messes with me!"

During the long voyage, every time she went to the public bathroom, Nancy would grumble, "I used to use top-notch bathrooms, but this lousy bathroom is dirty and small." When eating, facing the simple and rough food, she complained again and again, "My private chefs cooked delicious dishes, but look at this. Even pig food is better than this."

Sang Shuwan couldn't help but tease, "Nancy, stop being picky. Just be patient and we'll be home. Maybe Sang Jiuyue is secretly happy knowing that we're suffering here."

When Nancy heard this, her eyes widened. "How dare she! When I get back, the first thing I will do is to let her have a taste of what it's like to be chased by someone and have to eat rotten food and sleep in a cold bed. She has seen too little of the methods of our Nan Group."

Finally, the ship docked. Stepping onto the familiar land, Nancy took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "Sang Jiyue, just wait for me. Not only will I make you pay for what happened this time, but I will also dig out Yi Shuqi's secrets. You will be in trouble then!"

The assistant at the side came forward and heard these words, and said respectfully and cautiously: "Boss Nan, don't worry, our Nan Group is strong and will definitely make sure that Sang Jiuyue gets the punishment she deserves."

Nancy nodded with satisfaction, strode towards the car, and did not forget to turn back and say to Sang Shuwan: "I have made a note of this vengeance in my little notebook, and I will definitely get it back with interest!", as if she had already seen Sang Jiuyue's dusty appearance.

On the ferry that was bumping on the vast ocean, the small and stuffy cabin became the "main battlefield" for Nancy to vent her anger. She slammed her butt on the hard bed, and the bed board could not bear the weight and made a "creaking" protest. Nancy crossed her arms, her brows twisted into a knot, and complained in a hoarse voice: "It's all the fault of that crazy woman Sang Jiuyue! If she hadn't sent people to chase and intercept us like mad dogs, would we be so miserable? I am the eldest daughter of the Nan Group. I should be in the first class cabin of the plane, leisurely drinking champagne and eating exquisite snacks. Now, I can only be trapped in this broken ship, smelling this musty smell!" After that, she slapped the wooden board beside her fiercely, and the dust "puffed" up, choking her and making her cough.

Sang Shuwan smiled bitterly, sat down next to Nancy, and advised: "At least we got out safely, don't get angry and make yourself sick. Look at this bed, it's as hard as a big stone slab, I haven't slept well this whole way."

The boat shook violently, and Nancy staggered and almost fell to the ground. After she stood firm, she put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily: "This is not a boat, it's just a 'massage chair' on the sea, it shakes people to pieces! I think Sang Jiuyue is jealous of my comfortable flight and deliberately sabotages it. When I return to China, I will let her know the consequences of offending me, Nancy!"

In the days that followed, every time Nancy went to the public washroom, she would start complaining: "I used to use top-notch smart bathrooms, but this place is so dirty and small, there's not even room to turn around." At meals, she was even more disgusted by the simple food: "The dishes made by my private chefs are so delicious, and look at this, even pigs would shake their heads if they were given it to them."

Sang Shuwan couldn't help teasing her: "Nancy, don't be picky. Just bear with it a little longer and we'll be home. Maybe Sang Jiuyue knows we're suffering here and is laughing behind our backs."

Nancy's eyes widened instantly, like an enraged little lion: "How dare she! When I get back, the first thing I will do is to let her experience the feeling of being chased by others, not having a hot meal, and not being able to sleep peacefully. Our Nan Group can make her obedient with just a flick of our fingers!"

Little did they know that Sang Jiuyue's spy on the ship was hiding in the next cabin. The spy put his ear against the cabin wall and listened to Nancy's complaints word for word. After listening, he quickly took out his encrypted mobile phone and made a call.

"Hello, Miss Sang, I'm the spy on the ship. Nancy and Sang Shuwan have been complaining about you in the cabin. Nancy threatened to use the power of the Nan Group to deal with you after returning to China, and she also vowed to expose Yi Shuqi's secret."

On the other end of the phone, Sang Jiuyue was lazily sitting on the sofa in her luxurious living room. Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Humph, just her? Let her come. Keep a close eye on them, and report to me at any time if there is any situation."

"Yes, Miss Sang." The spy hung up the phone and continued to guard the bulkhead, paying attention to Nancy and Sang Shuwan's every move.

Nancy, who was completely unaware of the situation, was still chattering in the cabin about how to get "revenge": "When we return home, I will first let the public relations team expose her scandals, and then let the legal department cause trouble for her, and see how she can still be so arrogant!" Sang Shuwan listened from the side, sometimes nodding in agreement, and sometimes being amused by Nancy's exaggerated words.

Sang Jiuyue soon regretted sneaking into the Pharaoh's house. She thought she could get what she wanted without anyone noticing, but she didn't expect that the manor was heavily guarded and it would be harder to get out than to climb to heaven. At first, she tried to climb out along the ladder she used to come in, but the ladder was outside the manor. If she tried to take the ladder openly from inside, she would definitely be discovered. Standing under the towering wall, Sang Jiuyue was anxious and kept looking around, looking for any possible exit, but found nothing.

She made up her mind and decided to climb the wall with her bare hands. She held the gaps between the bricks tightly with her hands, and pushed the wall with her feet, moving up little by little. But the wall was too high, and she didn't climb very high before she ran out of energy and fell to the ground with a "thump", gasping in pain.

In desperation, Sang Jiuyue could only look for available tools in the manor, and finally found a ladder in a utility room. She secretly rejoiced and carefully carried the ladder, trying not to attract anyone's attention.

But after just a few steps, she was spotted by a sharp-eyed servant. The servant looked at Sang Jiuyue, who was acting suspiciously, and suddenly became suspicious. He quickly stepped forward to stop her: "What are you doing here? Where are you going with this ladder?"

Sang Jiuyue pretended to be calm and forced a smile: "I...I think this ladder is in the way here, I want to move it somewhere else."

How could the servant believe it so easily? His eyes were full of suspicion: "How can you touch things in this place casually? Come with me to see the housekeeper and tell him your purpose clearly!" After saying that, he reached out to pull Sang Jiuyue.

Seeing this, Sang Jiuyue tried to break free and run away, but the servant grabbed her arm with such force that she couldn't move. Soon, several more servants surrounded her and took her to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the cooks and helpers heard the noise and gathered around. The leading butler had a stern face and shouted, "Who are you? What do you want to do by sneaking into the manor?"

Sang Jiyue gritted her teeth and refused to answer. Seeing her stubbornness, the housekeeper was furious and waved his hand: "Show her some color, and see if she dares to be stubborn again!"

Then, the servants rushed forward, pushing and shoving Sang Jiyue, and beating her with fists and feet. Sang Jiyue curled up in a corner, shielding her head with her arms, enduring the beating and scolding. She was filled with regret, not expecting that her carefully planned action would end up like this.

Sang Jiuyue curled up in the corner of the kitchen, her whole body aching, and the bruises looked particularly hideous in the dim light. She endured the pain, took out her cell phone secretly when no one was around, and called her subordinate. When the call was connected, she lowered her voice and ordered fiercely: "Send a helicopter to pick me up immediately, I can't hold on any longer in Farah Manor!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then a cautious voice came: "Boss, there are many guards around Farah Manor, and the helicopter makes too much noise. It will definitely be discovered once it appears. Not only will it not be able to save you, but it will also expose its identity. It will be even more difficult to get information in the future."

Sang Jiuyue gnashed her teeth in anger and growled in a low voice: "Then what do you say we should do? I can't be trapped here forever!"

The subordinate hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry. Let's think of another way. The guards at the back door of the manor are relatively weak. I will arrange a few brothers with good skills to disguise as servants and create chaos at three o'clock in the morning to attract attention. You can take the opportunity to break out from the back door."

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath, weighed the pros and cons, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, let's do it. If something goes wrong, you won't have an easy life!" After hanging up the phone, she leaned against the wall, her eyes full of unwillingness and resentment, and she was thinking about a plan of revenge in her mind.

After finally making it to three in the morning, there was a sudden noise from the back door of the manor. "It's on fire! Someone come and put it out!" The shouts broke the silence. The servants in the kitchen heard the noise, picked up their tools, and rushed to the back door to put out the fire.

Sang Jiuyue took the opportunity to act and tiptoed out of the kitchen. She stuck to the wall, shuttled quickly in the shadows, and ran towards the back door. When she was about to reach the back door, she saw several familiar figures fighting with the guards. They were the people sent by her subordinates.

Sang Jiuyue seized the opportunity and rushed out the door with all her strength. The guard found her and shouted, "Catch her! Don't let her run away!"

At the critical moment, a car rushed out from the darkness and stopped beside Sang Jiuyue. The door opened and she quickly jumped into the car. "Drive!" she shouted. The car was like an arrow from a bow, disappearing into the night in an instant.

Sitting in the car, Sang Jiuyue looked back at the gradually receding Farah Manor and said through gritted teeth: "Fara, Nancy, I will get back this account sooner or later!"

In the car that was speeding away from the Farah Manor, Sang Jiuyue fell on the back seat, and her anger instantly poured out towards her subordinates like a volcanic eruption. "You bunch of useless people! How do you do things?" Her eyes were wide open, burning with anger, and she glared at her subordinate sitting in the passenger seat fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him alive. "I sent you to do something, but there were so many loopholes, causing me to be humiliated like a servant in the manor!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped the back of the front seat hard, each slapping was filled with anger. "I'm washing dishes and mopping the floor in there, my hands are almost broken, and I always have to be on my guard against being discovered. And you guys didn't even have a comprehensive response plan from the start!" The subordinates lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. Under Sang Jiuyue's violent rage, they were like lambs to be slaughtered.

"If I hadn't been lucky and quick to react, I would have been killed today! You good-for-nothings, what are you doing?" Sang Jiuyue's chest rose and fell violently, and her rapid breathing was clearly audible in the small carriage. Her voice became sharp and piercing because of anger, and every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing into the hearts of her subordinates.

As she cursed, Sang Jiuyue's voice gradually became lower. The fatigue accumulated from playing the role of a servant in the manor for days was like a surging tide, completely drowning her. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her upper and lower eyelids began to fight each other constantly.

Recalling the days in the kitchen of the manor, her hands were soaked in freezing cold water day after day, washing the greasy dishes that seemed to never end. Her hands were frozen red and swollen, covered with cracks. When wiping the rooms filled with luxurious ornaments, she had to be very careful. If she accidentally knocked something over, she would be severely reprimanded and look at viciously by the housekeeper. Every day before dawn, she had to get up from the cold bed and start sweeping, mopping, and sorting out the sundries. She was busy until late at night, and her body was exhausted.

At this moment, the slight bumps of the car were like a gentle lullaby. Sang Jiuyue's body slowly relaxed, leaning back on the seat, her eyes slowly closed, and she instantly fell into a deep sleep. Her breathing gradually became steady and deep, but her brows were still slightly wrinkled, as if she was still experiencing the thrills and hardships in the manor in her dream.

Outside the car window, the lights of the city flickered like stars, flashing past one after another. The driver secretly glanced at Sang Jiuyue from the rearview mirror. Seeing that she was sleeping so deeply, he quietly slowed down the speed of the car and tried to make the car run more smoothly, fearing that a small bump would disturb the grumpy boss. But Sang Jiuyue was unaware of this, and was completely immersed in this rare rest, as if to completely dispel all the fatigue accumulated in the past few days in this sleep.

The night was as dark as ink, covering the slowly sailing ferry. Sang Shuwan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She always felt that the atmosphere on the boat was too weird, as if there were pairs of eyes watching them in the dark. Recalling the thrilling encounters along the way, she became more and more convinced that Sang Jiuyue would never let them go easily, and there was a high probability that the other party's spies were hiding on the boat.

Thinking of this, Sang Shuwan could no longer sit still. She got up quietly, tiptoed to Nancy's bed, and gently shook the sleeping Nancy: "Nancy, wake up, we have to leave here quickly."

Nancy asked drowsily, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Sang Shuwan lowered his voice and said nervously and hurriedly: "I think there must be Sang Jiuyue's spies on this ship. We can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to find a way to escape. I have secretly asked someone to rent a small yacht, which is on the other side of the ship. We are very close to the shore now, and we can go ashore on the yacht and get rid of their surveillance."

Nancy woke up instantly, with a hint of vigilance and determination in her eyes: "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go now."

The two quickly packed up their belongings and carefully walked through the narrow corridor under the cover of night. They tried to keep their footsteps as light as possible and listened carefully to the movements around them with every step, fearing that they would alert the hidden spies.

On the other side of the boat, a small yacht was quietly docked there. The boatman had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw them, he nodded slightly. Nancy and Sang Shuwan quickly boarded the yacht, and the boatman immediately started the engine, and the yacht left the ferry like an arrow.

After going through numerous hardships and dangers, Nancy and Sang Shuwan felt mixed emotions when they stepped on the land of their motherland. At the dock, the sea breeze blew in with a salty and bitter smell, ruffling their messy hair and brushing away the foreign haze that had lingered for many days.

From afar, a dazzling white figure came into view. Alice stood straight, like a pure lily blooming on the bustling dock. She was wearing a perfectly tailored white suit, with every seam so precise that it made her figure look even more slender. Around her neck, the bright red scarf was like a cluster of burning flames, particularly eye-catching against the white background, playfully tied in a knot, gently fluttering with the sea breeze. Her long chestnut hair was draped over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled, and glowing with a charming luster in the sun. She was both capable and soft, like a shining star among the people around her who were rushing around with different expressions.

"Finally I've got you back!" Alice's voice was clear and full of affection. She walked eagerly and stepped in front of the two of them in a few steps. She opened her arms and warmly embraced Nancy and Sang Shuwan. The strength of her arms was just right, with the joy of reunion after a long separation, and full of relief and worry after surviving a disaster. Her body trembled slightly, as if silently telling how worried she was these days.

Nancy smiled bitterly and shook her head, her brows twisted unconsciously into the shape of a "川" character, and the past thrills flashed through her eyes like a revolving lantern. "Don't mention it, Alice. This time was like jumping back and forth on the edge of life and death, and every minute and every second was full of unknown dangers. On that ship, we were always on edge, and Sang Jiuyue's eyeliner was like a poisonous snake in the dark, and we didn't know when it would pounce on us and bite us. I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, and my spirit was always highly tense. If Shu Wan hadn't been with me all the time and encouraged me, I really don't know how I would have made it." As Nancy spoke, there was still fear in her eyes, and her hands unconsciously grasped the corners of her clothes.

Sang Shuwan raised his hand with lingering fear, and stroked his hair that was messed up by the sea breeze. His movements were gentle but he could not hide his fatigue. "Yes, Alice, this time it was really thrilling. Fortunately, you are here, and you have always been our solid backing. We urgently need to find a safe and hidden place to discuss the next steps. Sang Jiuyue is a ruthless woman, and she will never let us go easily. Moreover, the situation on Yi Shuqi's side is complicated, like a tangled mess. We have to sort out the clues and find a breakthrough." Sang Shuwan sighed slightly, his eyes full of worry and determination.

Alice nodded vigorously, with an unquestionable determination flashing in her eyes, like a torch in the cold night. "What are you waiting for? Let's go to my company. The security measures there are top-notch. The advanced monitoring system is like countless pairs of vigilant eyes, guarding us all day long. The strict protection mechanism is like an indestructible barrier, and no one can sneak in and disturb us at will." After saying that, she naturally took their arms and led them to the car that had been waiting for a long time.

The three of them drove to Alice's company. Outside the car window, the city scenery flashed by like a slide show, but they had no intention of appreciating it. The atmosphere in the car was solemn, and the occasional silence was broken by the rustling sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Soon, a modern glass building stood before us. Under the caress of the sun, the building shone brightly, like a future fortress shining with the light of technology and wisdom. The building was streamlined as a whole, and the glass curtain wall reflected the blue sky and the prosperity of the city, changing into brilliant colors under the sun. In front of the building, the exquisite fountain danced to the rhythm of the music, and the water droplets refracted by the sun looked like strings of scattered pearls.

Entering the company, the spacious and open lobby is more than ten meters high, and the magnificent space is awe-inspiring. The huge crystal chandelier hangs high on the ceiling, like a bright star, pouring light into every corner without reservation. The chandelier is composed of countless crystal clear crystals, with exquisite cutting surfaces, reflecting colorful light, falling on the marble floor, light and shadow interweaving. The floor is paved with smooth marble, which is bright and reflects the figures of employees coming and going, as well as the unique art sculpture in the center of the hall. The sculpture shows the beauty of power and agility with abstract lines, adding a touch of artistic atmosphere to the entire space.

The employees were dressed in formal attire, walking hurriedly, their leather shoes hitting the ground and making crisp tapping sounds, interweaving into a busy and orderly movement. They were holding document bags or talking quietly into Bluetooth headsets, their eyes were focused and firm, and they exuded a professional and efficient atmosphere.

Alice led them to the elevator, and the elevator door slid open silently. The interior decoration was simple yet luxurious. The mirrored stainless steel wall reflected the slightly tired faces of the three people. The elevator went up smoothly, with almost no shaking. Only the flashing floor numbers reminded the height change.

Coming to the conference room on the top floor, this conference room is spacious and bright, like a pure land isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows occupy the entire wall, and the city scenery can be seen without reservation. At this moment, the city is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, showing a golden warm tone. The high-rise buildings are lined up in an orderly manner, and the glass curtain walls reflect the afterglow of the setting sun, like a golden forest; on the busy streets, cars shuttle like ants, and the taillights are connected into flowing light strips.

An oval mahogany conference table is located in the center, and the deep wood color exudes a restrained texture that has been accumulated over the years. The tabletop is polished smooth like a mirror, reflecting the soft light on the ceiling. The matching leather chairs have smooth lines and fit the curves of the human body. They are made of top-quality materials and are soft and comfortable to the touch. On the table are exquisite tea sets, blue and white porcelain teapots and teacups, painted with delicate landscape patterns, and have an ancient charm; the latest tablets are neatly arranged, and the metal shells exude a cold luster, waiting to be used.

"Hurry up and take a sip of tea first to calm your nerves." Alice said as she walked lightly to the tea set. With her skillful hands and graceful posture, she gently lifted the teapot with her slender fingers, and the hot water poured accurately on the tea leaves like a silver thread. In an instant, the steaming tea fragrance rose, and the fresh tea fragrance instantly filled the entire conference room, adding a bit of relief and tranquility to the tense and depressing atmosphere.

Nancy took a sip of tea, and the hot tea slid down her throat, bringing a hint of warmth. She looked solemn, and the teacup swayed slightly at her fingertips, causing ripples in the crystal liquid in the cup. "Alice, this matter is much more complicated than we thought. Sang Jiuyue was so desperate and unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal. When we were in Persia, her people were like lingering ghosts, staring at us closely.
