In a winery named "Centaury" in Country K.
An operation team composed of members from Country C, Country K, and Country R was quietly lurking around the winery, closely observing the movements inside. Finally, after receiving the confirmation message from the insider, the team leader waved his hand calmly and said, "Operation!"
Two hours later, in the blood - soaked wine cellar, a 1.92 - meter - tall man was shot dead during the resistance. The squad approached warily, comparing the man's appearance with the data in the database. The team leader pressed the walkie - talkie button and said, "The enemy's leader has been shot dead. Retreat."
"Yes!"
However...
"Sir, this man is strapped with a time bomb! The wires are connected to his heart. His heart has stopped, and the timer has started! There are only three minutes left! We must leave immediately!"
"Sir, there are also explosives here!"
"Hurry, hurry! Retreat!"
"No, there are still a lot of materials! We must take them away!"
"I order you all to retreat!"
"Boom!"
A towering fire burst into the sky. The after - wave of the airflow made the members of the operation team feel dizzy and nauseous.
After a head - count, they found that only two team members were lost in this operation. Although the others were injured, the injuries were not serious. Generally speaking, the operation was quite smooth. Although they failed to take away the materials, they had shot dead the leader and destroyed the base, so it could be said that they had completed the task successfully.
After calling the fire department, the operation team left the place.
At the airport in Country K, in the first - class cabin of a plane bound for Country A.
The flight attendant handed a glass of warm water to the passenger in the seat and said, "Sir, here's the warm water you asked for."
A pale, bony hand with slight scars took the glass.
"Thank you."
...
In a villa in the south of Haicheng, Country C.
In the courtyard, listening to the laughter of the two kids driving their toy cars merrily, Yan Yincheng's lips curled into a faint smile.
The phone in his hand vibrated. He put on his earphones and answered the call.
On the other end of the phone, came the solemn voice of Wang Hao, the captain of the criminal police team. "I just received the news from Country K. The leader of that organization has been shot dead..."
He briefly told Yan Yincheng what had happened in Country K. When he mentioned that the base had been blown up, Yan Yincheng frowned slightly.
Finally, Wang Hao said, "Yan San, this time you helped us catch such an important figure. I'll apply for a medal or a certificate for you."
"No need. I don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of reporters every day. If you dare to expose me and my wife, you'll be in trouble." Yan Yincheng said calmly.
"Hehe, you're the boss. You call the shots." Wang Hao laughed. "Okay, I'll hang up then."
After ending the conversation with Wang Hao, Yan Yincheng called Yan Haikun.
After the call was connected, came Yan Haikun's old but strong voice. "What do you want?"
Yan Yincheng didn't say a word. He just tilted the phone slightly so that Yan Haikun could hear the voices of the two kids in the yard. Ten seconds later, he asked,
"Did you hear that?"
Yan Haikun said a bit excitedly and a bit dissatisfied, "You called me just to let me listen to this? You might as well ask Wei Shu to take some videos for me so that I can see what my little grandsons are so happy about."
"Want to see them? It's not impossible, but I have a condition." Yan Yincheng said. "If you can meet it, I'll ask Wei Shu to send you videos every week."
Yan Haikun became vigilant. "You're using this to bargain with me? It sounds like you've got some bad ideas!"
"If you don't agree, forget it." Yan Yincheng was about to hang up when Yan Haikun quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say I'd refuse! What do you want? Just say it. I'm listening."
"I want to be the next ruler of the Yan family."
"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" On the other end of the phone, Yan Haikun spat out a mouthful of tea. "What did you say?"
"Look, you're old and your ears are not so good. You'd better give up your position as the major shareholder to me quickly, so as to avoid huge losses to the Yan family because of your old - age deafness." Yan Yincheng said.
"You brat! Is this the way you bargain with me?!" After the shock, Yan Haikun started to get angry. "This position is extremely important. Do you think you can just say it lightly and it's yours?"
"Then tell me, what should I do?" Yan Yincheng asked.
Yan Haikun rattled off a lot of conditions, including but not limited to taking an important position in the Yan family, being highly involved in the operation of the Yan family, attending every meeting on time, etc.
After that, Yan Haikun said, "Actually, you don't have to force yourself. You can hand over the two kids to me. I'll train the next heir. After all, in your situation, others may not agree so easily."
Yan Yincheng was silent for a moment and then couldn't help but say, "You've already ruined one. Do you still want to harm my sons? I'll raise my sons myself. As for the problem you mentioned, I've already asked Wei Shu to keep an eye on the news from major hospitals. I'll definitely find a way to cure my eyes. At least, I'll watch you take your last breath with my own eyes."
At first, Yan Haikun was quite touched, but when he heard the last sentence, he: "..."
What kind of thing to say! He was old, but not that old! His body was still in good shape!
Both of them were silent for a while. After a long time, Yan Haikun said, "Well... I'll hand over the Yan family to you from now on. But you won't be so idle anymore. The number of reports and documents you need to listen to will increase exponentially. You'll have to deal with more and more people. Not all departments will take care of your feelings and convert the documents into audio for you. These difficulties may overwhelm you."
"I know. It won't trouble me."
For Yan Yincheng, who had been reborn, he already knew everything about the Yan family like the back of his hand. Dealing with these people was no problem at all. He was confident that he could gain full control of the decision - making power within two years and make others convinced that he should take over the Yan family.
The only thing that bothered him was that once he got really busy, he might have to shuttle back and forth between Fengcheng and Haicheng constantly, and the time he could spend with Zixi and the two kids would naturally be less.
But when he thought that all this could make them live a better life, he was filled with boundless strength.
Then, the two of them discussed some topics related to the Yan family. When they were about to end the conversation, Yan Haikun said, "The case of Yuan Ya'er has started the judicial process. You and Zixi need to appear in court as witnesses when the trial starts. Remember to come back then."
After a pause, he added fiercely, "Remember what you promised. Send me videos of the kids every week!"
