After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

A long-planned scheme disrupted Xu Zhiyuan's plans to celebrate his mother's birthday the next day.

"Hey, Mom, I can't make it today. I have other plans. I'm going to the US first." Xu Zhiyuan called his mother as soon as he got to the signal area, but he didn't tell his family about what had happened so as not to worry them.

"You brat, what could be more important than your mother's birthday?!" Mrs. Xu was a woman of strong emotions, and her tone became harsher after being stood up by her son, her words full of resentment.

"Don't worry, I'll come to wish you a happy birthday tomorrow." Xu Zhiyuan was afraid of letting something slip, so he only gave a few perfunctory words before his mother reluctantly hung up the phone.

Xu Zhiyuan let out a long sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, and relaxed as he lay back in his seat. "Finally, I managed to keep it a secret."

"Brother Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so timid in front of your Empress." Lu Ze couldn't help but tease Xu Zhiyuan after hearing the whole conversation between him and his mother.

"Get lost. You always get scared out of your wits when you see your dad, don't you?" Xu Zhiyuan thought this was a perfectly normal thing.

"Little Yanyan, the Zhu family head and the others probably don't know about this, right? You probably won't tell them either, will you?" Xu Zhiyuan suddenly asked.

Zhu Yan lay in his chair, feigning sleep.

"I want that opportunity too," Zhu Yan said calmly. "It would be strange if Brother Yan could keep it a secret. Putting aside his brother who's obsessed with his younger brother, just look at Brother Yan's bodyguards. If they can't find Brother Yan, won't they be so anxious that they'll send a signal to the head of the Zhu family?" Lu Ze knew a bit about Zhu Yan's family and guessed pretty much right.

Fortunately, Zhu Yu's men found the group of bodyguards, and they are now following behind Zhu Yan's car.

"Didn't they offer any response?"

This is rather strange. Logically, when Zhu Yan encountered such a dangerous situation, they would all come over to ask him all sorts of questions, just in case Zhu Yan was injured somewhere.

But there's been no movement at all?

"I made a phone call and told them everything was fine, but they didn't believe me." Zhu Yan shifted his position. "They're probably on a plane to the US right now."

Xu Zhiyuan expressed his admiration.

Because the mess from the explosion was quite large, Zhu Yu had to stay there to clean it up. He couldn't send Zhu Yan to the airport in the US, so he had to send someone to escort her. With the bodyguards Zhu Yan had brought earlier, she should be fine.

There is no airport near the Qingmang Mountains, so the only way to get to Country G is by plane from Country M. However, when the group arrived at the border crossing in Country M, they were stopped.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who were stopped.

"What right do you have to stop me? Do you even know who I am? You dare to stop me? I know some big shots from your country, the US!"

A group of people were stuck at the border crossing. Some were dressed in tattered clothes, while others were dressed in gorgeous clothes, but they were obviously stained by the sand and dust. They should have been noble and elegant, but now they were dirty and messy.

The strong interference source was likely too large, affecting not only the aircraft at the banquet but also other passenger planes.

"I'm sorry, but recently too many refugees have successfully infiltrated the country disguised as travelers, causing trouble and committing several crimes," the guard at the gate replied. "His Majesty has decreed that no one without M country citizenship or proper procedures may enter."

"Hey, why are you so stubborn? You insist I call my friend, huh? Well, you're in for a world of trouble!" The man blocked at the door had a gray suit covered in stains, looking like he'd been through a lot.

His temper flared up, and he pulled out his phone to make a call, actually preparing to call for backup. After hanging up, he even gloated to the guard.

"Just you wait, you're about to invite me in!"

Looking at the spectacular scene before him, Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

What a coincidence! How could they get in when the city was locked down?

"Boss, I remember you're quite familiar with the Crown Prince of the United States. How about we pull some strings?" Lou Chen recalled what happened at the airport that day.

Zhu Yan remained silent.

Yes, we're definitely familiar with each other.

But if Song Yunzhi and Song Qigui find out that he's in the US, wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den? Would he even be able to leave the US?

Therefore, he did not want to disturb the two of them unless absolutely necessary.

"Let's see."

A few people stood to one side chatting, but because Zhu Yan was followed by so many bodyguards, he was very conspicuous, and even the guards at the door took a few extra glances.

If Zhu Yan and the others hadn't remained silent, he would have suspected that this group was trying to sabotage their business.

Not long after, a luxury car drove in from the city. After the guards saw the license plate, they immediately made way for him and opened the car door for him.

The person who got out of the car was probably the savior of that rude man.

But fate played a trick on him; the man who got out of the car was someone Zhu Yan knew.

It is Xie Shengan.

Banquet:…

How come I see him everywhere?

"Young Master Xie! Over here!" The man's eyes lit up when he saw Xie Shengan appear, and he shouted at him.

"You dare to stop my friend?" Xie Shengan glanced in that direction and then turned to question the guard.

guard:……

If you don't come, how am I supposed to know you're my friend?

"Young Master Xie, we were unable to verify your friend's identity earlier and had no intention of offending you. This was all His Majesty's will." The guard was quite shrewd, knowing to use Song Yunzhi as a shield.

"Knowing who I am, you still dare to talk to me like that? Don't you want to die?" Xie Shengan was still as arrogant and domineering as ever, not taking those of lower status than him seriously.

"Young Master Xie, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I did." The guard was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not afraid of Xie Sheng'an at all.

"You...you...I'm going to tell my mother that a mere watchdog dares to act so arrogantly in front of me?" The guard didn't give Xie Shengan any response in return for his self-righteous attitude, and his anger intensified.

"Young Master Xie, you can leave with your friends now. I have work to do, so please take care."

Guard: Let's see if I'll even acknowledge you.

~~( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~~~

Xie Shengan: !!!

Although Xie Shengan had nowhere to vent his anger, because he only dared to act so recklessly because of the Xie family's status in the United States, he usually did it secretly, like a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

For some reason, in the first few days after he returned home, Xie's parents treated him very well, taking meticulous care of him, and trying their best to make up for any shortcomings they might have incurred.

But all he did that day was scold a few ignorant servants in his household, yet his parents refused to stand by his side and instead spoke up for those servants.

So he slammed the door and went in, refusing to eat no matter how others tried to persuade or coax him.

So after spending a few days together, the Xie family suddenly changed their attitudes and became indifferent to him, which made Xie Sheng'an extremely upset.

He suspected that it was his bad older brother, Xie Jiyun, who was behind it.

Before he returned home, only Xie Jiyun disliked him.

Therefore, Xie Shengan had no right to punish the guards, which is why the guards were not afraid of Xie Shengan's threats.

"Damn it! Why is he everywhere? What bad luck!" Lu Ze complained as soon as he saw Xie Shengan from afar.

Just as he was about to tell Lu Ze not to lure Xie Sheng'an over, something bad happened.
