Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu watched the two sisters leave, his expression hardening. He didn't necessarily want to do it this way, but he was afraid that the young women wouldn't be able to control their hearts and would want more.

Secretary Wu sat in the chair for a long time, until it was dark and his legs were numb. Only then did he tentatively stand up; he was a little hungry.

Yu Meng simply introduced him to people or families she had connections with, and then he managed to accumulate a considerable fortune in less than three months.

Now that a powerful hidden family has joined the fray, he's truly afraid that Yu Meng might one day make an irrational decision. He doesn't know what to do then, because the entire sect truly depends on Yu Meng alone.

On the way back, Niannian asked Yu Meng, "Has Secretary Wu taken the wrong medicine? Why would she have such a stupid idea?"

He was afraid.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that if I act impulsively, everything I have now will be in vain."

"That Secretary Wu is really cunning; luckily we're smart."

"Yes, we're all smart people, we won't do anything foolish."

That night, Yu Meng had another dream. It was the same voice again, "Child, in ten days, this world will change. Live well, I'm going to sleep now."

Yu Meng was awakened in a cold sweat.

She rubbed her temples. This was the third time the voice had entered her dream, but this time the content seemed serious. What did it mean that the world was about to change and that she should live well?

Yu Meng didn't sleep a wink that night. What could she possibly do in ten days? In what areas should she prepare?

While eating breakfast, Niannian looked at her and asked, "You didn't sleep last night?"

"Hmm, there's something I haven't figured out."

"Is it serious?"

Yu Meng put down her chopsticks. "It's terrible, but I don't know how to tell you."

"Tell us what you know first, and we'll peel back the layers little by little." He laughed after saying that.

Yu Meng told Niannian about her dream, and then stared straight at her.

"Oh, that's all?"

"That's all."

"Does a few words count as dreaming?"

"Yes. This is the third time I've dreamed about these things; the first two times were very accurate."

Niannian twirled the chopsticks in her hand. "First of all, no matter what happens, we only have ten days to prepare. Six hours have passed since you woke up."

The fact that you're allowed to live proves that this whole thing isn't a good thing. At least not a good thing for you.

Yu Meng nodded. "That's what I think too. The question is, what kind of preparations should I make?"

"The scope is too broad to be certain. Besides, the world has changed. How has it changed? Through natural disasters? Or through the changing political landscape?"

Niannian paused, biting into the steamed bun in her hand, and then said, "I heard you mention that the battlefield is going to be upgraded. You don't mean this, do you?"

"Maybe it's more serious than that," Yu Meng picked up the conversation. "I want to go home. If anything happens, at least we'll be together and have someone to look after us."

Niannian blinked. "What about here? You're just going to leave it alone?"

Yu Meng remained silent for a long time. "I have to take care of them. They all gathered together because of me. I also promised Aunt Qing that I would take her with me wherever I go."

"Fourth Sister, if neither of us survives, then it's the end of the world. The most dangerous thing in this world is the alien, but for us, it's not a big problem."

"Then what else is a threat to me?" Yu Meng asked.

"I don't know?" Niannian answered without any burden.

Yu Meng smiled and stopped talking.

The two finished their breakfast. "Fourth Sister, I'm going to watch Jing San choose people. He's really cunning," Niannian said happily as she ran off.

Yu Meng sat in the restaurant, showing no sign of leaving. She needed to think about what to do.

The world is about to change, and there should be some signs before that happens!

He took out his communication bell and sent a message to Nangong Tianshou first.

Nangong Tianshou watched as his communication bell rang, and it was Yu Meng's. Reluctantly, he opened it and asked, "What is it?" He didn't say the rest of the sentence, "I'm busy."

Yu Meng ignored his slight emotional outburst. "I want to know if there have been any unusual people or events in the last seven days?"

Nangong Tianshou hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "In what way?"

"I don't know, anything different from usual is fine. Or you can tell me if you have any news."

"I don't have any important news, just some trivial matters. Do you need to know?"

"for example?"

Nangong Tianshou gritted his teeth, "For example, a thousand-year-old temple on Daqing Mountain suddenly developed cracks."

"That's too far from here, tell me something closer."

"No! What exactly do you want?" Nangong Tianshou's tone was a little unpleasant.

"I don't know either. Why don't you have your people investigate? Maybe they'll find something." Yu Meng turned off the intercom.

Nangong Tianshou looked at the switched-off communication bell, but he wasn't truly angry. Yu Meng wasn't a casual person; she had personally inquired about something, so she must have discovered something, yet she hadn't given him any hints. He was still furious!

After thinking for a moment, he activated his intercom and issued a series of commands. He tapped the armrest of his chair with his finger, still feeling somewhat uncertain. He then sent a message to Zhou Jingyan, explaining the situation and asking the Zhou family to investigate the matter as well.

Yu Meng sat there in a daze. This Nangong Tianshou didn't seem very reliable. She didn't have much time left, and she couldn't hang herself on this crooked tree.

Secretary Wu and Qingyuan walked in together. They were a little surprised to see Yu Meng. "Yu Meng, why are you only eating now?" Qingyuan asked.

"I finished eating a long time ago. Are you thinking about something?"

"What is it? Tell me, maybe our chief secretary has a solution."

Yu Meng looked at Secretary Wu. "I'd like to know if anything unusual has happened recently?"

"In what aspect?" Secretary Wu sat down.

"I can't say for sure. I have a bad feeling, but I can't figure it out right now, so I'm trying to deduce something from some unusual things."

"Anything is fine?" Secretary Wu asked again.

"Yes, but we need to hurry, time is running out."

Secretary Wu was silent for a moment, then said, "If it's not too important news, I think Yan Lei's uncle should be able to help."

"Huh? How so?" Yu Meng had completely forgotten about this person; they had only met once.

"He's a successful businessman. His people got wind of what happened to Jing Er last time, but before they could get back, Jing San found him. That place is too remote; there are no cars, you can only walk, so he was a step too late."

Yu Mengzhen really didn't know any of this, and she didn't dwell on it. "Have them gather information, or buy it if they can't. They only have one day."

"Actually, if it's something important, the Jia family would be more suitable," Secretary Wu added.

"Then let's give it a try, it'll only take a day. Let them have to give it their all." Yu Meng leaned back in her chair, feeling a little tired.

Qingyuan looked at Yu Meng and didn't ask anything. She knew that when Yu Meng wanted to tell her, she wouldn't hide anything from her.

Secretary Wu took a few bites of the porridge in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Is there some trouble?"
