Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The night view of Blue City is different from that of the capital. The capital is full of skyscrapers, and the higher the floor, the more obvious one's status becomes.

But Blue City is different. This city doesn't have many outrageous skyscrapers. Instead, it consists of unique detached villas with personalized floor plans. As soon as night falls, it's like a signal, and the lights of the entire city come into play at the same time.

Colorful lights shine into the sky, seemingly communicating with the moon and stars how to protect this beautiful city tonight.

After returning from the Lan family manor, Han Guoguo went to the presidential suite based on the information Han Yue had sent her.

Returning to Blue City again evoked a mix of emotions, but her state of mind was different when she stood on the top floor overlooking the city's night view. The feelings of avoidance and loneliness were gone.

It feels so good to not have a stone pressing on my chest; I feel relaxed from head to toe.

She stood at the suite door and rang the doorbell. Two minutes passed in deathly silence. She rang it again, and the door opened. Han Guoguo stared curiously at Han Yue's face. "What are you doing? Are you constipated? Why did it take so long?"

After opening the door, Han Yue turned around and walked back into the room, saying, "I'm going out for a bit. Don't wander off by yourself. You can go play with Miss Su."

Han Guoguo was curious about where he was going in the middle of the night. Besides, he wasn't familiar with Lancheng as much as she was. She kindly suggested, "Where are you going? How about I take you around? I know Lancheng well. You pay the bill and I'll show you around."

Han Yue was loosely wrapped in a pure white bath towel, clearly having just finished showering. He was currently taking a white short-sleeved shirt and black jeans from his suitcase. He turned to Han Guoguo and said, "I'm taking off my bathrobe and changing. Go out."

Han Guoguo glanced at Han Yue with disdain, then her gaze swept over him. "It's like you've never seen this before when you were a kid. Is it really necessary? I don't care anyway. You can change yours. Do you really not want me to take you shopping?"

"The night view of Blue City is quite nice, don't spoil the scenery."

Han Guoguo tried to seduce him again.

Han Yue replied without hesitation, "No, I'm not as free as you."

"What are you busy with? You're acting all mysterious. What are you doing? Going on a date? Han Dui Dui, you don't actually have someone you like, do you? Don't you really like Xi Xi?"

Han Guoguo was puzzled as to what she was so busy with, as the things she was doing were incredibly contradictory.

"Let me tell you, Xixi seems to be in a bad mood today. I guess she hasn't recovered from being hurt by you. Oh well, I'll introduce her to a boyfriend tomorrow. I still have good resources in Blue City."

Han Guoguo muttered to herself about the disappointment she felt during dinner with Lan Yunxi that evening.

During the conversation, Han Guoguo noticed a tattoo on Han Yue's chest. She stared at it closely and leaned closer to take a closer look.

Wait a minute, this is the scar I got when he blocked Sister Lu's knife for me. I remember it was a long scar. How could it be a tattoo? Did he get it in the last few years?

Han Guoguo was particularly curious about what Han Yue would get tattooed on his body.

"Let me see what you've got on your chest. Can you show me?"

"No sooner said than done," Han Guoguo thought, reaching out to pull at Han Yue's bathrobe. However, Han Yue dodged her with lightning speed and slapped her hand hard, leaving it instantly red and causing her to wince in pain.

Han Yue rebuked, "Can't you act like a girl?"

Han Guoguo was bursting with curiosity. She raised her hand and blew on the spot where she had been hit, continuing to pry, "Do you have a tattoo? Let me see it. It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh. Don't be so stingy."

"Did you get a girl's name tattooed on you? You definitely did, Han Yue. If you won't show it to me, you're guilty."

Han Guoguo used reverse psychology.

She hoped that Han Yue, after being provoked, would suddenly tear open his bathrobe and say to her, "Look, look."

Things didn't go as she expected. Han Yue not only didn't react at all, but he also avoided her like the plague.

Han Guoguo was so angry that she stomped her feet, tried everything from acting cute and pitiful to crying and making a scene, but Han Yue didn't react at all.

The thought that Han Yue, who was as hard as stone, would refuse to show her meant that there was something fishy going on. This was the firm belief in Han Guoguo's mind.

Han Yue took a few steps back, keeping a distance from her, afraid that his sister would go crazy and tear at his bathrobe. He gripped the sides of the bathrobe tightly with both hands and said sternly, "I'll give you one second to get out."

Han Guoguo bent her index and middle fingers together and poked Han Yue's eyes from a distance. "What a jerk. Who wants to watch this? Bring me back some good food. Look up some of Blue City's specialty late-night snacks online. Don't forget."

Han Yue ignored her and only changed his clothes after she left the room.

A teahouse in Blue City.

Two men sat side by side on a bench on one side, one of them in the main seat. The atmosphere was quiet, and each of them held a blue and white porcelain cup in their hands.

Examining the blue and white porcelain in my hand closely, I found it to be of superior quality, with even and distinct coloring, vibrant hues, and blue and white patterns. Through the crystal-clear glaze, I could see the exquisite blue and white designs.

Clear and elegant.

It blended seamlessly with the demeanor of the man in the main seat.

The man in the main seat was very skilled at brewing tea. His movements were practiced and gentle, and his long, slender, fair fingers were like a woman's as he slowly and methodically brewed the tea, his mindset calm and unhurried.

He picked up a cup, smelled it, smiled faintly, and introduced, "This is the best tea in our Blue City. You can savor it."

Han Yue wasn't one to savor tea; finishing a cup was his limit. He placed one hand flat on the table and tapped the surface lightly with the index finger of the other, again and again. "President Lan should know why I'm here to see you."

Ji Hancheng was just sitting there as a companion today, his main role being to ease the awkward atmosphere. Now that he was practically a member of the Lan family, he quietly drank tea, playing the role of a useful tool.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunchen remained calm and silent, continuing to drink his tea, his expression absorbed in the aroma, showing no intention of replying.

Han Yue wasn't in a hurry. He played with the fine blue and white porcelain for a while, then, finding it uninteresting, picked up a document from the corner of the table and handed it to Lan Yunchen.

Now Lan Yunchen had no choice but to accept the question. Between politeness and good manners, he should answer first, and asked, "What is this?"

The file folder was sealed, and Lan Yunchen really couldn't guess what Han Yue would bring him.

Han Yue picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, as if he were drinking alcohol. "President Lan will know once he takes a look."

Lan Yunchen put down his teacup and slowly opened the file folder. When he saw the map inside, his expression cracked. The usually reserved Lan Yunchen broke down and asked Han Yue, "What does Mr. Han mean by this?"

Han Yue's gaze met Lan Yunchen's directly, without the slightest hesitation. "I'm asking for a chance not to stop you."

The Lan family also has many hidden agents in Lan City, and they also have this kind of defense map. He had previously guessed that the Han family also had power, but he didn't know that their power was so deep. Judging from the map, it can be said that they have their own people at every important node, which is the so-called hidden agent.

This is only half a map of the capital's secrets. This move is tantamount to handing over one's lifeline to the Lan family. Although it is only half a map, once it is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, the Han family will suffer heavy losses.

It could happen in an instant.

Even Lan Yunchen didn't expect that Han Yue came to him just to ask for a chance not to stop him. In that case, he wanted to rely on himself. On the day he saw Han Yue off at the airport, Lan Yunchen noticed that Han Yue had feelings for Xi Xi. However, judging from his expression, he was restrained, patient, and pretending not to care. Although he hid his emotions very well, Lan Yunchen still noticed.

Lan Yunchen shook his head in shock, but admired Han Yue's aggressive move. "I thought you wanted me to marry my sister to you directly. It seems you still want to rely on yourself."

Han Yue shrugged and readily admitted, "Some things can't be delegated to others. It's better to take what you want yourself for the long term."

What a long-lasting and insightful statement.

No wonder he has no scandals in the capital. This person knows too well what he wants and what he doesn't want, and he has already secretly planned what he wants.

Ji Hancheng, sitting to the side, agreed with what Han Yue said. Yao Yao was someone he had pursued with all his heart. As long as you have the will, even water can wear away stone. Su Yu just didn't understand this principle. He was afraid of failure and silently protected her, but in the end, she stayed by his side.

Lan Yunchen agreed to Han Yue's request, silently put away the map, and made a decision, "Alright, since President Han is so sincere, I will keep this map for now. If you hurt my sister while you are in Lan City, our Lan family will have to take action."

Han Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Anytime."

After the matter was settled, the three of them stopped being formal and started chatting openly.

They talked a lot about the research base in the capital, new projects, and what projects Blue City could relocate to the capital. Han Yue indicated that he could handle the issue of spheres of influence.

The three men chatted until midnight.

When Han Yue returned to the Blue City Hotel, it was already 2 a.m. Han Guoguo was already fast asleep. Han Yue didn't buy any late-night snacks, and since she had diarrhea that day, he wouldn't give her anything to eat that night.

I went into the bathroom and took a shower. As usual, I turned on my computer to check messages. My eyes were fixed on the chat history on the screen, and I was momentarily distracted.

Everything is ready; we can launch our attack.
