that the old Warming rarely did.At least in such occasions, she would avoid conflicts with Han Bi; only when no one was around would she lose control, like that time at the parking lot.But now, even...Chapter 491

"A little bit, I might need to stay for a while. Are you busy You haven't turned your phone on in two days." Wu Shuang asked, "Has nothing happened"

"What could happen to me I've been in meetings these past few days, my head's spinning. If anything came up, the others would call me on their phones, so I just switched mine off," Kaka replied, "I'm eating with Tianyu outside now, all is well. I'll find you later."

"You're coming over"

"Is there a problem"

"No!"

Kaka chuckled, "Did you see Nisha Kanna"

"How did you know"

"I figured you'd go to her place since you were nearby. So what"

"It's a matter of fate, she said that..." Wu Shuang laughed heartily, "She said I'm about to get married; my Red Bird star is activated, and this year's peach blossoms are thriving."

Kaka kept smiling as she subconsciously picked up her wine glass and remembered it wasn't filled, "That's great news!"

"I feel the same way." Wu Shuang smiled and said, "Are you really coming over If so, I'll wait for you by the seaside."

"That area is dangerous. Find a place to have coffee while waiting for me," Kaka suggested. Seeing that Ye Tianyu and Xu Nuo were still chatting, he casually added, "I'm on my way, wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Wu Shuang replied.

Kaka was taken aback; his heart ached. It was the first time Wu Shuang had ever said she would wait for him. Before, she never did and went wherever she pleased. He only needed to say one sentence and she would know where he was, waiting in perfect harmony with the certainty of meeting on time.

She never used to say "I'll wait for you."

But she had always been waiting for him.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Kaka's voice was slightly hoarse as he reluctantly hung up the phone. Ye Tianyu and Xu Nuo were chatting happily; he and Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo had a good relationship, often calling each other daily without hanging up before half an hour.

Kaka tapped on the table, told Ye Tianyu and Ye Ningyuan that Wu Shuang was nearby and said, "I'll go find her."

Ye Tianyu nodded. "Tell her I say hello."

Kaka smiled and paid the bill. He drove off first and returned the calls from Rong Yan and Chu Chu on the way, talking for about half an hour. As soon as he hung up, Ye Ningyuan called back. "Uncle Kaka, is there something you can't say in front of Tianyu"

Ye Ningyuan chuckled. "Tianyu said that you let him personally choose the next Vermillion Bird."

"Yes, is there a problem"

"No problems at all." Ye Ningyuan smiled slightly, "With this in place, I feel much more reassured. Kaka, thank you. You've addressed many issues that Xunuo and I overlooked, which shows your dedication."

"You're being too polite. My expectations for Tianyu aren't any less than yours; our goals are aligned."

"I won't say more then. Tianyu is big now and knows his limits. You go back to work. Be cautious with the matters in the Middle East." Ye Ningyuan advised, Kaka chuckled, "I will."

After hanging up, Kaka sped up, thinking of Yitian's content yet unsatisfied smile moments ago, which was similar to when he had returned from Spy Island years ago and visited Wu Shuang.

Suddenly, there arose an urgent desire to see Wu Shuang immediately.

Wu Shuang was sitting on a rock by the seaside at midnight; the wind blew her hair wildly. She casually pulled it back as she listened to only her breath and heartbeat in the stillness of night, accompanied by the sound of waves.

The moment she heard the car approaching, Wu Shuang turned her head with a smile. Kaka had already gotten out; his olive-colored casual wear blended into the darkness, making it hard to see clearly. She waved and smiled as he ran over.

"What are you doing here at this hour" Thankfully, he was familiar with the area.

"Just passing by." Wu Shuang said, holding out her hand; Kaka took it and sat beside her, "You look much simpler than usual. Not as colorful as before."

"Adapting to local customs. If I were too flashy, I might be kicked out," Wu Shuang remarked, her heart finally settled knowing that Kaka was fine—just busy. She needn't worry anymore, "Were you scared"

"Indeed." Kaka spoke frankly, "Chengtian Long is really sharp-eyed."

In fact, Wushuang looked particularly good in that outfit.

Wushuang watched the sea calmly with a peaceful gaze, her heart settled, feeling less empty inside. The sea breeze felt much more comfortable as well. However, it was late at night, and she turned her head to look at him, smiling slightly and asked, "Are you tired"

"I'm fine, I just needed a walk. These past few days of meetings with them have been frustrating. If I don't take a break now, I fear there might be altercations during the next meeting."

Wushuang laughed heartily; she had also experienced negotiating with government officials before, and it was truly an ordeal for people like them who were used to direct and decisive dealings.

Their business operations generally avoided haggling over prices—what they said went. Political matters were much more complicated, and dealing with that demeanor became second nature to them, resulting in constant friction between both sides. If Kaka had negotiated for three days, he likely would have endured a lot of stress.

The worst part was not being able to do anything about it temporarily.

"Did the negotiations break down"

Kaka glanced at Wushuang sideways and said, "The talks fell apart. Although no one showed any signs on the surface, everyone is secretly maneuvering. They clearly don't have sincere intentions to discuss this deal. The conditions proposed by the government side are too stringent for me to agree to. It seems they're just stalling for time, waiting for something. There's doubt about Heaven's excuse; recently a batch of intelligence officers has been investigating matters around the village area. A few people who uncovered clues have already been killed by our team. Establishing the base here is problematic—though most of the sewage is piped into the sea, some still flows to nearby hillsides where mineral content levels are found to be excessive. So far things remain stable, but continued investigation could lead to trouble. I've made contingency plans and will relocate the base if necessary."

"Relocating the base would cost too much time and effort. Rebuilding another underground lab would take years; no one has that kind of patience. Who's in charge this round Perhaps let Mo Chen try negotiating— he’s most adept at handling such situations." Wushuang suggested, but Kaka shook his head.

Wushuang raised an eyebrow, asking, "What news"

The moment she spoke, her work phone rang. She picked up; it was Yun calling. "Wushuang, the first terrorist organization has announced that they will no longer restrict terroristic activities from now on. Within just one hour, four terrorist organizations in Oman have already convened secret meetings and are planning their next moves."""Who cares about him anyway He’s dead now and tomorrow all that will be left are ashes. Let's go get a drink," one of them shouted as they left the garage laughing and chatting. The parking garage wa...
