Yun Xuan pushed his hands off her. "How is that part of your business, my dear brother... Arnold Wen?" She emphasized the last two words because they were the main point.

Yun Jifeng was thunderstruck. How did she know?

But thinking about it, it was not much of a surprise. She had seen the hidden safe before. Perhaps she saw the fake passport after all? He thought.

And...by saying that name out aloud, was she trying to threaten him? Did she think she was a match for him?

Yun Xuan chuckled just as he was about to speak. "Don't worry. I will not tell anyone about it, Old Two. After all, you only have a fake identity. It's not like you have used it to commit any crime. Who doesn't use fake names here and there anyway? Not to mention, aren't you my second brother? I wouldn't bear to.

Putting that aside, I missed my second brother quite alot."

Yun Jifeng studied her expression. She only knew that name and nothing else about it?

If that was the case, what was he so worried about? She was basically just as harmless and stupid as she used to be. Tsk, and to think he had wasted his time trying to find and kill her.

The next day.

Everyone was busy. Lu Enterprises' banquet was tonight.

Those who were attending were all waiting anxiously. President Lu had mentioned that there would be many pieces of good news. They couldn't wait to hear it.

Similarly, those who had other plans, like General Yun and his second son Yun Jifeng; were restless.

Tonight, they would put their well thought out plan in action.

After returning the previous night, Yun Xuan had slept in the room that had been hers for all these years. In the morning, the nanny that had taken care of her since she was a child was also the one who woke her up. Contrary to her expectations, nothing that belonged to her had been thrown out. So they had not completely given up on her after all.

However, it did not make her feel guilty a minuscule bit. They were criminals. It was not wrong to use them for the sake of getting them arrested.

At the breakfast table, it was only Yun Xuan and Yun Jifeng, as usual. Madam Yun had had to leave early before Yun Xuan woke up and so had General Yun.

Yun Xuan ate with her head down without sparing him a glance.

When they were both done, she stood up and brushed his shoulder on her way out. "If only we were both enemies of that person."

Yun Jifeng grabbed her hand. "What person?"

"No one." She said and slipped her hand off his.

Yun Jifeng remained in contemplation. Why would she say that? Was she trying to lure him into believing that they were on the same side?

When Yun Xuan was out of earshot, he made a call. "Get me all the latest information about Yun Xuan."

Just a few steps ahead, Yun Xuan humphed. Hmh! Idiot."

…

That evening, Yun Jifeng got ready. One look at him and you would think he was a special guest invited by Lu Enterprises.

"Are you sure this will work?" General Yun was as doubtful as ever. How could this useless fool outsmart such a man as Lu Aotian?

But the useless fool was sure about it. "You have nothing to worry about. Just wait to watch an entertaining show."

That was all he needed to hear. Who was to say, perhaps his useless son would really do it.

He left Yun Jifeng's room and went to look for his daughter. She had just finished dressing up and looked extremely beautiful. Of course, he felt proud. How many of his friends and competitors had daughters this beautiful? If any of them saw her, they would want to match make her with their sons.

"You're going somewhere?"

"Yes. Wan Jia invited me to Lu Enterprises' banquet tonight."

"That's good. I thought you could...never mind." He was going to ask her to accompany him to the same banquet, not knowing that she was already invited. Damn those Lus. What were they up to?

What Yun Xuan said next took him utterly by surprise. "Dad, if you need me to do something for you, you can just tell me. I wronged you and the family, so I owe you a life."

She was biting her lip and looking so innocent that his heart ached. "Xuanxuan, you don't need to."

"Really? But you look troubled. Dad, do you not love me anymore?"

"What are you saying? Of course I still love you. You're my little daughter that I love the most." He even rubbed her head.

"Dad, how old do you think I am? You still treat me like a little girl. I'm a grown up, okay?" not to mention, she was already a mother.

"How would I know? The years flew by so fast. Anyway, Xuanxuan, I'm also attending Lu Enterprises' banquet. I got an invitation from someone. But if you don't mind, could you help me distract someone? It's just for a short while while I do something important."

Yun Xuan thought about it briefly. "Sure. That's easy."

Hearing that unexpected answer, he was relieved. He had been afraid that he would accidentally provoke her into running away from home again. If that happened, he would be sad.

Yun Xuan was impressed by her own acting skills. She was not an actress but she could be so flawless? She had learnt it from Lin Lihua since a few days ago when she arrived in Country C.

No. She must have learnt it from him all these years.
