Lan Tianyuan, who had initially been quite optimistic, subtly furrowed his brows the moment the surveillance footage was destroyed. It seemed these people were not to be trifled with, and his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
“Just now you were still trying to backstab someone, so why have you suddenly lost your nerve?”
Tian Xuan glanced at Lan Tianyuan’s shifting expression, her eyes filled with amusement. She could easily guess what he was thinking.
“As a civilized person like myself, I can’t possibly stoop to their level of rudeness. I still don’t believe they can do anything to me!”
Lan Tianyuan’s face turned rather awkward. He hadn’t even clearly seen what was happening before the camera was mysteriously destroyed. He was certain he didn’t possess such skill himself, which caused his heart to sink further.
“Well then, why don’t you go reason with them and see if they’ll let you off the hook? Of course, they wouldn’t dare kill you outright to avoid suspicion, but they could certainly leave you incapacitated…”
A faint smile played on Tian Xuan’s pretty face. Although she was somewhat surprised by the opponent’s strength, she felt no fear at all. She appeared very calm, confident in her ability to ensure that whoever came here would not leave unscathed.
Unconsciously shivering, based on his understanding of the Beijing Club, Lan Tianyuan knew they were capable of crippling him. No matter how fearless he tried to act, he wouldn’t gamble with his own life.
“This difficult task is better suited for you, Miss Tian Xuan…”
His way of addressing her had changed, and Lan Tianyuan could only pin his hopes on this woman. From her composed demeanor, he sensed that Tian Xuan definitely had the ability to protect both himself and Lan Yue.
“I never thought my brother could be this cowardly. If all those women who adore you knew about this, would your image instantly collapse?”
Lan Yue teased. It wasn’t that she wasn’t worried at all, but she believed that since Xiao Yufan had sent Tian Xuan here, there must be a reason. She had an almost insane level of trust in him.
“This kind of thing will stay between you, me, and Miss Tian Xuan. If we don’t talk about it, no one will ever know, and my brother’s image will still remain as charming and dashing as ever!”
Lan Tianyuan smiled in an ingratiating way, slightly easing the tense atmosphere. However, under the current circumstances, there was no time for idle banter. After a brief pause, Tian Xuan’s expression grew serious again.
Dealing with those few individuals alone, Tian Xuan didn’t require much time. However, her mission was to protect both Lan Tianyuan and Lan Yue, ensuring they suffered no harm. Therefore, she couldn’t fight freely. In her view, if anything happened to the two of them, Xiao Yufan would definitely be displeased.
“Is there a room in the villa without windows? Take Lan Yue inside to hide first. Leave the outside matters to me for now.”
Tian Xuan knew that leaving the two of them here would serve no purpose but distract her, so she decided to have them temporarily retreat to allow her to act freely. It had been quite some time since her last fight, and she felt a faint sense of anticipation.
“Are you sure you can handle it alone…”
Lan Tianyuan knew his black belt in Taekwondo was nothing impressive in their eyes, yet he still felt reluctant, uneasy about letting a woman stand in front of him.
“Then you can stay here and face whatever comes. That way, Boss Fan won’t have to waste effort protecting you…”
At this moment, Tian Xuan had no patience for further discussion with Lan Tianyuan. Her gaze hardened, her usual icy expression returning, making Lan Tianyuan once again feel disheartened.
“I guess I shouldn’t hang around here and be a nuisance. I believe Miss Tian Xuan will handle everything effortlessly…”
Lan Tianyuan kept his gaze lowered, lips tightening slightly as he muttered to himself. Then he pulled Lan Yue along and walked toward the room behind them.
As a prominent figure in the Beijing Club, Lan Tianyuan naturally had enemies. To deal with potential threats, he had deliberately set up many rooms, which now proved useful.
Just as the two disappeared into the room, the door suddenly opened a narrow crack. Then, Tian Xuan saw two figures instantly appear within her line of sight…
