At ten in the morning the next day, Jian Ai got up from the bed.
After was.h.i.+ng up, she packed her luggage. Because she didn’t know how long she would stay in Italy, Jian Ai brought a few more sets of clothes.
After packing, Jian Ai pulled her luggage and went out. If she rushed to her aunt’s house at this time, she could have lunch.
Because it was the weekend, w.a.n.g Yunzhi was resting at home. When Jian Ai entered the house, the fragrance of food floated out of the kitchen.
Hearing the door open, w.a.n.g Yunzhi poked her head out of the kitchen with a handful of leeks in her hand. When she saw Jian Ai, she couldn’t help but say in surprise, “Oh, Xiao Ai is back!”
!!As soon as she finished speaking, she saw w.a.n.g Yunmei walk out of the kitchen quickly in an ap.r.o.n. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back?”
As she spoke, she saw the luggage beside Jian Ai. w.a.n.g Yunmei was stunned for a moment before asking, “Where are you going?”
Jian Ai placed her luggage at the door and changed into her slippers. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but look at her mother and aunt and smile. “I have a business trip tomorrow. I told my uncle yesterday. Didn’t he tell you?”
w.a.n.g Yunzhi quickly said, “It was the weekend yesterday. The bar was busy. He only came back in the morning and hasn’t woken up yet.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei asked in surprise, “Business trip? Where are you going?”
“I’m going abroad to Italy,” Jian Ai said. “I have to go to settle some company matters personally.”
This excuse was the same as what she had told Yao Feng. However, she had no choice but to lie. She could not tell her mother that she was going to look for the leader of the International Mercenary Group. That would scare her mother badly.
When w.a.n.g Yunmei heard it was about the company, she didn’t think too much about it. She only asked, “Does that mean you have to apply for leave from school?”
Jian Ai nodded. “Yes, I applied for leave from the teacher. Mom, don’t worry. I won’t fall behind in my studies.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei naturally believed in her daughter. Moreover, the company’s matters were serious business, so she had no reason to object.
After having lunch with her family, Jian Ai brought her luggage to Xiao Zhen in the afternoon.
After a night, Si Yue could already get out of bed and move around.
“Don’t be in a hurry to move. Didn’t Xiao Zhen say that you have to lie down and recuperate?” Jian Ai said to Si Yue.
Si Yue’s face was still a little pale. He had not replenished his qi and blood after these few days of recuperation. It was obvious how much damage Irene’s attack had done to him.
Hearing this, Si Yue only looked at Jian Ai with a hesitant expression. His lips moved, but in the end, he said, “I’ll go back and lie down.”
Jian Ai: “…”
Jian Ai looked at the others inexplicably and blinked.
Chi Lian sat on the sofa and applied nail polish. She immediately said faintly, “Si Yue wanted to go to Italy with you, but Xiao Zhen rejected him.”
“He feels that his duty is to protect you, so he feels guilty for not accompanying you this time.” Yun Buyao said.
When Jian Ai heard this, she couldn’t help but sigh softly. She knew Si Yue’s personality. During this period, Si Yue had been eating and living with her, going to school together, and practicing martial arts together. In fact, she was already used to Si Yue being by her side.
If not for his serious injuries, she would have brought him along.
However, she had no choice. His body had to be his first priority.
“Chi Yang has already booked the plane tickets and hotel. The flight is tomorrow afternoon,” Yun Buyao said.
Jian Ai nodded and looked at Yun Buyao. “Have you settled the information you should collect?”
Yun Buyao: “Don’t worry, Sect Master. Last night, I used Spiritual Art on that person called Gale again and got some useful information.”
At the mention of Gale, Jian Ai realized that there were a few people under house arrest in this villa.
Jian Ai had her own plans for keeping these people alive.
Many situations in this trip to Italy were unknown. If they encountered something unexpected, they might use the few ability users in their hands as bargaining chips to negotiate with the other party.
After all, ability users were rare in this world, and the person called Gale had said that there were only six of them in the entire mercenary group, so Jian Ai guessed that these six people must have a very important position in the leader’s heart.
At this moment, at the headquarters of the International Mercenary Group in Italy.
Bang! The marble coffee table in the middle of the living room shattered, followed by Hans’ angry voice. “What do you mean there’s no news? We don’t know if the six of them are alive or dead?”
The person in charge of the intelligence team in the mercenary group, Paul, stood at the side with his head lowered. He looked at the marble coffee table that Hans had shattered with a punch and was secretly shocked. However, he said truthfully, “Leader, we can’t contact them.”
Hans was furious. His beard, which hung to his chest, was trembling. His usually calm personality could not be suppressed.
That was his mercenary group’s strongest trump card!
In this dark corner of the world, there were countless killer organizations. Only the existence of a trump card could make it last for a long time and stand tall.
However, all six ability users had disappeared during the mission.
It was unknown if they were dead or alive. There was no news at all!
“With Irene around, nothing will happen to them.” Hans did not believe that the six of them would die, or he did not believe that anyone on the other side could deal with six ability users at once. Something unexpected must have happened.
Hans gradually calmed down and said to Paul, “Find out more. No matter what, find out news about them!”
“Yes, Leader.” Paul nodded and retreated.
The next afternoon, Chi Yang drove Jian Ai, Yu Wuyuan, and Yun Buyao to the airport.
“Sect Master, Lords, be careful,” Chi Yang said. He took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Jian Ai. “Sect Master, this is that Lord’s contact details.”
Jian Ai reached out to take it and carefully put it in her backpack. Then, she said to Chi Yang, “Tell Bai Zhou not to let his guard down even at this time. Be careful of your safety.”
“Don’t worry, Sect Master. We’ll protect him well!” Chi Yang nodded.
After separating from Chi Yang, they entered the international departure hall for security checks. During the security check, someone recognized Yun Buyao again.
After a while, the three of them finally boarded a flight to Italy.
“Is it okay in the capital? If you stay by my side…”
On the plane, Jian Ai suddenly looked at Yu Wuyuan and asked.
Jian Ai only found out about Yu Wuyuan’s ident.i.ty from Bai Zhou later on. At that time, Jian Ai was indeed shocked. The Yu family in the capital was enough to make everyone look up to them. Yu Wuyuan was the eldest son of the Yu family!
