He was just testing the limits of Yeropo An's madness, and he was quite satisfied with the result.

However, whether it was his imagination or not, it seemed that Yeropon didn't refrain from acting because he was afraid of losing his composure; rather, it seemed that there was some more important reason why he absolutely couldn't act.

Like De La Parr, is he wary of the organization's power network?

"Never mind, none of that matters."

Li Yili grinned and waved her hand in the direction Yerobo An had left.

"Acting Minister, farewell."

Jerobo An did not head towards the Temple of Gowwitton, but towards the residence of Dela Pal.

Chapter 79: My past self's complete licking of the lips is over.

In the evening, Joel, who was in charge of digging the pit, brought back good news. Because it was Yerobo An's request, the cloud people worked particularly hard. The pit was dug square and straight, and they even lined it with cement. All the ore was also laid on top.

The task was exceeded.

"Very good, have all the delivered goods been registered?" Li Yili nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s all registered,” Heman, who was in charge of receiving the contaminants, replied, then hesitated for a moment and scratched his face awkwardly. “It’s all currently stored in your warehouses.”

Li Yili rolled her eyes and waved her hand, "You've worked hard, but you still have to work harder to calculate a detailed distribution plan based on the list of Guoweiton residents. Tomorrow, you'll take the Guoweiton residents to collect the [goods] in batches. After all, Yeropo An isn't blind, so keep a low profile and don't make too much of a commotion."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yili patted each of the Yunzhong executives present on the shoulder.

"Everything you have done is just."

"[Mother] knows she will be very proud of you."

Li Yili walked past each of the Yunzhong executives, looking directly into their eyes, before finally circling back to her original position. Everyone's positions had changed under Li Yili's subtle adjustments, forming a semi-circle facing Li Yili, who stood with her hands on her hips, and everyone could see her.

Li Yili raised her chin.

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The Yunzhong executives present all nodded excitedly.

El looked at the Cloud Clan executives working with great enthusiasm with a face full of satisfaction. His biggest worry was that these Cloud Clan executives would outwardly comply but inwardly defy Li Yili's important matters, but now it seems that he had worried too much.

"Okay everyone, keep up the good work. I'll head back now... cough cough cough—I have something even more important to do."

Li Yili coughed heavily, slung her coat over her shoulder, waved to the Yunzhong executives who would be working through the night, and then turned and pushed open the door, leaving under the admiring gazes of all the Yunzhong executives, including El.

El took a deep breath, turned around, and raised his voice.

"Everyone! We absolutely cannot!"

"I have betrayed the trust of Executive Officer Li Yili, who is about to undertake an even more dangerous mission!"

“ohhhh————”

Li Yili, who was on her way to carry out an even more dangerous mission, whistled all the way back to her large ranch, enjoying the night view of Guoweidun. She took a nice hot bath, and after exchanging her usual sharp tongue with Valhou Rai, she cuddled the fragrant Valhou Rai and slept soundly.

Perhaps because Yeroboam would never have a good night, Li Yili slept soundly until the sun was almost high in the sky the next day.

Li Yili yawned deeply, glanced at the pocket watch hanging on the bedside table. It was exactly eight o'clock. An ordinary security guard would probably be preparing to write his resume by now, but he even wanted to go back to sleep.

"Why are you still lying there..."

While still lying down, Valkyrie yawned lazily, and with her amazing flexibility, she raised her snow-white thigh and gently pushed Li Yili's chin with her tender white foot.

"Go and make money to support me quickly."

“A true strong person can make money even while lying down,” Li Yili rolled her eyes, grabbed Valkyrie’s ankle, and casually tossed her aside.

If it were three years ago, he would probably have shouted that he would have licked it to the bone, but people always mature. After doing more, they will find that their previous ideas were somewhat naive.

“But you’re not at the point where you can make money while lying down yet, are you?” Valkyrie stretched and rolled around on the bed like a salted fish. “Aren’t you afraid they’ll get suspicious?”

"The biggest help I can give is by not being there," Li Yili said, pressing her neck and gently rubbing it.

"Oh my, you're actually aware that everyone hates you."

After making a sarcastic remark, Valkyrie clutched her stomach and burst into laughter. It must be said that Valkyrie, a cold and aloof beauty who seemed to have no affinity for smiles, had a very captivating smile in the sunlight.

Unfortunately, he only saw Valkyrie's aloof face during the first month after they met.

Li Yili's eyes twitched violently. "Most of the Yunzhong people have a problem with me. If I were there, even if they didn't suspect that I arranged this job, they would still be negative. They might even go to Yerobo An to confirm who arranged this job. In short, they would try to embarrass me."

“Last night I deliberately provoked Yeroboam in front of those Cloud Clan members. If I hadn’t shown up, they would probably have thought I was killed by Yeroboam last night, and most of them wouldn’t have dared to confirm Yeroboam’s intentions.”

"Then you know, um, they worked like crazy."

Valkyrie's beautiful smile gradually faded, leaving her speechless.

"You know what? Explaining jokes is really a tasteless thing to do."

"Making fun of others is truly tasteless!"

Li Yili grabbed Valkyrie's face and shook her from side to side.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

At the Sheep Village building, Abu Jean, having finished stamping his passport, couldn't help but glance sideways at the Sheep Village gate before the next resident of Guoweiton approached. He sighed in disappointment, nodded miserably at the approaching Guoweiton resident, and gave a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Hello."

The residents of Guoweiton looked somewhat embarrassed, and almost blurted out, "I'm leaving?"

"What are you talking about?!"

Unable to hold back any longer, Joel slapped Abu Jean on the back of the head, then grabbed Abu Jean by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and pulled him back, saying, "Go to the next room and rest."

“I’m not tired,” Abu Jean said, holding the back of his head and looking at Joel with a pitiful expression. Then he turned around and glanced at the direction of the Sheep Village building entrance.

"I'm so tired—"

Joel raised his finger and poked Abu Jean's forehead hard.

"Hurry up and get to the cubicle!"

After saying that, Joel sat down in Abu Jean's seat and nodded apologetically to the awkwardly standing residents of Guoweiton, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Seeing that Joel had already started working, Abu Jang slumped down and dejectedly went to the cubicle.

El, who was smoking in the cubicle to relieve his mental fatigue, was stunned. Before he could speak, Abu Rangbian rushed over as if he had seen a savior, grabbed his arm and shook him back and forth.

"What about the Executive Officer! Executive Officer Li Yili hasn't arrived yet! I heard he provoked Yerobo An last night—could he have been killed by Yerobo An?!"

Chapter 80 A Secret Crossing

"Calm down, calm down. Executive Officer Li Yili is fine. Didn't we just meet last night?"

El raised his left hand, which was holding the cigarette, to the side, shook his head helplessly, but nodded in satisfaction.

Abu Jean was much more insightful than he had imagined.

"No, no, no! Although Yerobo An is almost insane, he's not completely insane yet! Maybe he'll sneak into Executive Officer Li Yili's house in the middle of the night and slit her throat!" Abu Rang clutched his head, his face full of tension.

Although Yeroboam was late again in the morning and his mental state was just as bad as the day before, at least he came!

But Li Yili did not come.

He also heard many Yunzhong members discussing in private that Li Yili had already had her throat slit by Yerobo An.

"No! I want to go to Li Yili's place..."

"Please take a look, Your Excellency!"

Abu suddenly raised his head and turned to rush out.

El sighed helplessly and grabbed Abu Jean's arm. "Don't worry, Yeropon will never kill Executive Officer Li Yili."

"Why are you so sure, Executive Officer El! Yeropon is going crazy! He's capable of anything!"

El was momentarily speechless.

Because I saw Li Yili and the black goat hugging each other, if Yerobo An really went to kill Li Yili, then it would definitely be Yerobo An who died.

Saying that would surely stop Abu Rang from making trouble.

However, Li Yili's refusal to reveal her identity must be based on a specific reason. He cannot make decisions for Li Yili on his own initiative, lest he ruin Li Yili's important plans like the time at the scrap metal warehouse.

After thinking for a moment, El raised a finger, his expression serious. "Abu, do you think Executive Officer Li Yili is the kind of idiot who would deliberately provoke Yeropo An even though she knows he's about to go crazy?"

Abu Rang's breath caught in his throat; he stopped struggling and speaking.

“If you understand, then don’t worry about it,” El patted Abu Jean on the shoulder and pointed to the top of his head. “In Executive Officer Li Yili’s words, it’s a covert operation.”

"Um...Executor El, do you really understand what 'crossing the Chencang pass in secret' means...? I recognize each of those four characters individually, but put them together, I don't understand at all..."

“I don’t understand either, but I know what Executive Officer Li Yili means,” Al pressed down on Abu Jean’s shoulder and twisted it forcefully, then opened the cubicle door and pushed Abu Jean out. “Remember not to hold anyone else back.”

"Understood!"

El let out a long sigh and raised his hand to vigorously rub his hair.

Looking at the queue inside the Sheep Village building, Yolan subconsciously pulled down his hat, feeling a little intimidated.

Actually, there weren't many people. According to the instructions of the Yunzhong executive who notified him, in order to prevent the process from being too rushed, this new business would be processed in batches. Therefore, there were only four or five lines in the lobby of the Yangcun Yangcun building, with only three or four people in each line, which looked no different from usual.

He was lucky; he was one of the first few people to be processed that morning. Although the scope included all residents of Guoweidun, he was still secretly pleased. However, when he reached the entrance of the Sheep Village building, he realized that usually, this was the end of his journey. As a stable boy, he was destined to pass by the gates of success countless times.

Yolan peeked towards the security booth and, finding that Li Yili wasn't behind, suddenly felt much more relaxed. Clutching the small note in her hand, she entered the lobby of the Sheep Village Building and followed at the end of line number three.

While rehearsing his dialogue with the Sheep Village Executive in his mind, he waited for time to pass.

As Yolan rehearsed again and again, the people in front of him left one after another, carrying a package and laughing ecstatically. Yolan was filled with envy and some worry, because because of the barriers, he couldn't hear the conversation between the people in front of him and the Sheep Village Executive.

"Next person."

Yoran's mind went blank. The calm and composed self he had been in his fantasy vanished instantly. His body stiffened as he pulled out a chair and plopped down, staring blankly at Heman sitting opposite him.

Heman leaned back slightly, but quickly recovered, coughed softly, picked up a document from the side, glanced at it, hummed in agreement, and gave Yolan a bright smile.

“Mr. Yolan, right?”

"Yes, yes, yes—is there anything I can do for you?"

Yoram gripped his knees tightly with all his might, his cheeks trembling slightly.
