However, Yan Xi had changed Tang Jin's perception of women.
Several times, Tang Jin had almost succumbed and told Yan Xi the truth.
For the sake of Fu Yan Ting's plan, Tang Jin held back at the crucial final moment.
He looked at Yan Xi and couldn't help but say, "Miss Yan, I know nothing I say now will help, but I still hope you can find solace. Yan Ting's accident was beyond all our expectations. We never wanted him to get hurt, but we were powerless."
Yan Xi still didn't cry or make a fuss, just sat quietly by the bedside.
"Miss Yan, Yan Ting and I were friends who had been through life and death together. His affairs are my affairs. In the future, if you need any help, you can contact me."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang."
Yan Xi didn't need Fu Yan Ting's friends to help her with anything. If they could, it would be to help her find Fu Yan Ting.
When Tang Jin returned to the villa, Fu Yan Ting looked at him and asked, "How is she?"
"Like a soulless person. Your death has hit her hard. I'm worried she won't get through this. Honestly, Yan Ting, I don't know if you planned this or if you faked your death to avoid her. You didn't consider her feelings at all." Fu Yan Ting pursed his lips without responding.
He knew very well that Tang Jin was exaggerating to help him return to Yan Xi's side.
Based on his understanding of Yan Xi, she would be sad and upset, but not to the extent Tang Jin described.
Xin Yi held a funeral for Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting, watching the news of his second death on television, was filled with mixed emotions.
Tang Jin suddenly approached Fu Yan Ting and said, "Mr. Fu, you've died a second time. How do you feel about it?"
Fu Yan Ting gave Tang Jin a glare and returned to his room.
He recalled the last time Tang Jin went to apprehend someone, but the mysterious organization's members had known in advance and escaped.
Fu Yan Ting had always thought this mysterious organization was incredibly elusive, to the point where he couldn't track their movements. But after Fu Yan Ting discovered who the mastermind behind the mysterious organization was, he realized it wasn't that the organization's whereabouts were too secretive and unpredictable; rather, there was a traitor within their international special forces.
Their movements had been leaked all along, giving the organization first-hand information. As a result, they would always escape just as Fu Yan Ting and his team arrived.
Previously, Fu Yan Ting hadn't been able to figure it out. But after learning the identity of the mysterious mastermind, he sensed something was amiss.
It was then that Fu Yan Ting devised this plan, telling Han Ming Xuan. In fact, Fu Yan Ting's trust in Han Ming Xuan was only fifty percent.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious organization found out about this matter through Han Ming Xuan.
There were two possibilities.
Either the traitor within the international special forces was Han Ming Xuan, or Han Ming Xuan had confided in his subordinates about this matter.
Regardless of who it was, Fu Yan Ting would not let that person get away with it.
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Fu Yan Ting's eyes.
In fact, Fu Yan Ting had another reason for not allowing Tang Jin to pick up Yan Xi in his name and deliberately leaving Yan Xi in B City.
He wanted to see who would approach Yan Xi during this period.
Then, he could follow these clues, bit by bit, and finally uncover who had betrayed him.
After Fu Yan Ting's supposed death, Han Ming Xuan found Yan Xi. Yan Xi was unaware of Fu Yan Ting's other identity and did not recognize Han Ming Xuan.
Yan Xi had met all of Fu Yan Ting's few close friends, but she was certain she had never met or even heard Fu Yan Ting mention the man before her.
Therefore, Yan Xi had no impression of this Han Ming Xuan at all.
Han Ming Xuan seemed to sense Yan Xi's confusion and explained, "Sister-in-law, I heard the news about Boss Fu's accident. We were all worried about you, so I came to pick you up. It's very unsafe outside lately, and those people from the mysterious organization will find you soon. I'm concerned about your safety and want to hide you away to protect you."
Yan Xi sized up Han Ming Xuan.
While he wasn't exceptionally handsome, he was certainly well-built and presentable.
Upon hearing Han Ming Xuan's words, Yan Xi didn't associate him with being a bad person at all.
His face alone suggested he couldn't possibly be a bad guy.
Just as Yan Xi was about to respond.
Han Ming Xuan spoke again, "Boss Fu was determined to bring down that organization during his lifetime. Although Boss Fu is no longer with us, we must help him fulfill his wish. If something were to happen at this critical juncture, we would never forgive ourselves."
Yan Xi was initially going to leave with Han Ming Xuan, but after he said that, Yan Xi couldn't help but frown and suddenly asked, "How did you and Fu Yan Ting meet?"
Han Ming Xuan didn't hide anything and told Yan Xi how he and Fu Yan Ting met.
This was indeed how they met, and if Yan Xi were to ask Fu Yan Ting's other friends, they would give her the same answer.
After hearing Han Ming Xuan's explanation, Yan Xi softly said, "I'm not going with you. I know you all want to protect me, and it's for my own good. But I want to stay. If I can be used as bait to lure out those people from the organization, it wouldn't be a bad thing."
Since Han Ming Xuan had said that capturing this organization was Fu Yan Ting's lifelong wish, Yan Xi decided to make herself suffer and lure them out.
Han Ming Xuan was genuinely seeing someone unappreciative for the first time.
However, for the sake of the bigger picture, he had to comply with Yan Xi's arrangement.
He also knew very well that if he pressed further, it might only lead to Yan Xi's resentment.
After Han Ming Xuan left, Yan Xi curled up in a corner and murmured to herself, "Fu Yan Ting, you can see this, right? I'm in danger now. Didn't you promise to protect me? Now I'm in danger, but where are you? Why did you break your word? Why aren't you coming to protect me?"
But all that answered her was silence.
Inside the villa!
Tang Jin relayed to Fu Yan Ting that Han Ming Xuan had approached Yan Xi, intending to hide her for her protection.
Fu Yan Ting listened and still showed no reaction.
Tang Jin couldn't fathom what Fu Yan Ting was thinking.
He observed Fu Yan Ting, unable to decipher his inner thoughts from his expression.
Tang Jin couldn't help but ask, "Fu Yan Ting, aren't you worried that Yan Xi might fall for that man named Han Ming Xuan?"
