After all, if they don’t grab it, other forces will.

It’s just unclear why the boss suddenly became interested in that side, making the previously untouched relationship tense.

"RSIS hijacked the Martin family’s goods and sent them to the underground auction, so Country A wants to talk to you. Reynolds, one of the top ten on the international wanted list, was also delivered to ICPO by RSIS, and ICPO has been keeping an eye on 315 Avenue these last few days, possibly because there’s too much activity."

"Hmm." Fu Qiyuan responded somewhat indifferently, as if he wasn’t too concerned about these matters.

"Also..."

Hmm?

Fu Qiyuan didn’t speak, just looked at him calmly.

His subordinate quickly lowered his gaze and said softly, "RSIS wants all the information about every major and minor event that happened in the slums a year ago."

Speaking of RSIS, even the subordinate was a bit exasperated.

He didn’t know where they got such nerve, to the point they dared to ask them for information.

RSIS was a thorn in 315 Avenue, acting as if they feared nothing, daring to provoke anything. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Moreover, did they even remember their disagreement with the slums? And still have the face to ask them?

The subordinate kept his head down, not daring to look at Fu Qiyuan’s expression, but he couldn’t avoid speaking up.

Without a response, who knows what those people might do.

If they ruined the boss’s affairs, what would he do?

Fu Qiyuan squinted his eyes slightly and after a while, he spoke, "It’s possible, but there are conditions."

"..."

When Qin Feng came in, Fu Qiyuan had just finished a call and hung up a video chat.

He curiously glanced at the computer, wondering why President Fu was still in a video meeting so late?

But he recalled there were no video meetings scheduled for today?

Suppressing his curiosity, he approached Fu Qiyuan and said in a low voice, "President Fu, Young Madam has finished dealing with matters in Country F, and her flight at five a.m. will arrive at Yong City Airport twelve hours later."

Fu Qiyuan paused his hand and only responded, "Hmm, let’s call it a day."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was full of surprise.

It was just five o’clock, and President Fu wanted him to get off work?

Could it be he finally doesn’t have to work overtime?

Indeed.

With Young Madam returning, the skies have cleared.

–

p.m. in Country F.

Su Ran had just gotten on the plane, found her seat, and sat down when her phone started ringing.

With Country F still imposing flight restrictions and her seated in first class, the seat next to her was empty.

She leisurely took out her phone, raised an eyebrow at the caller ID before answering, but still kept her voice low, "Don’t tell me there’s another issue, I just got on the plane."

An Yi was momentarily speechless, "It’s nothing major, the slums have replied."

Su Ran sat upright, speaking calmly, "What did they say?"

"An Si wasn’t successful. He was rejected as soon as he spoke up. I’ve been negotiating with them for a while before they relented, but there are conditions."

It was expected that An Si would be rejected. Given their grudges with the slums, being driven away would’ve still been a courtesy to RSIS.

Hearing An Yi’s words, Su Ran remained silent because no one knew 315’s strength better than she did.

And precisely because of this, she was more aware than anyone of how formidable the slums’ firepower was.

The place was chaotic, bloody, ruthless, and shrouded in darkness, an adversary even Las Vegas wouldn’t underestimate.

Let alone RSIS.

After her mother’s incident, she no longer cared for people or things, let alone who she could or couldn’t provoke.

Anyway, she had offended every person on the road, including Las Vegas and the slums.

Jin Moshen continued to trouble her because he lost to her in Las Vegas once, later, by a twist of fate, he saved her life, leading to his persistent pursuit.

As for the slums...

Su Ran massaged her temples a bit helplessly; it was essentially where she offended people the most, and their boss indeed had a grudge against her.

Back then, she feared nothing and wasn’t afraid of their retaliation.

But now, she had people she cared about and cared more about herself.

And she didn’t know if Fu Qiyuan, aware of what she had done, would end up clashing with them.

Although Fu Qiyuan didn’t seem like a simple businessman, she didn’t want him to end up confronting that side either.

The people from the slums, they lived on the edge, and even RSIS couldn’t fully grasp their situations.

Who knows what conditions he would propose.

Su Ran rarely began to reflect on herself.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "What are their conditions?"

An Yi was also a bit puzzled, "They want the information on Thousand-faced Faceless."

Hmm?

Is that all?

She thought they might demand that she commit suicide to quell their anger.

After all, the person really wanted her dead back then.

"Why are the slums suddenly interested in Thousand-faced Faceless?"

The two parties didn’t seem to have any connection.

An Yi frowned, "Not sure, but a few days ago, Las Vegas snatched a deal from the slums, causing tension between the two sides."

Su Ran fell silent. Weren’t the slums and Las Vegas quite harmonious before?

Why are they suddenly at odds?

But in a sense, this was also good. With them embroiled with each other, they wouldn’t bother her, allowing her a few days of peace.

"Agree to it," Su Ran said.

"Are you sure? Once the information on Thousand-faced Faceless is out, it won’t be a secret anymore. Not only Las Vegas but casinos worldwide might come searching."

"Rest assured, they won’t find it."

Attempting to bypass RSIS to find Thousand-faced Faceless is impossible.

After all, intelligence is RSIS’s domain.

Even ICPO sometimes relies on them.

An Yi thought for a moment and found it reasonable, "Alright, I’ll negotiate with them."

–

Twelve hours later, Yong City International Airport.

It’s currently 5 p.m. in Hua Country, right during the rush hour.

Upon learning of Su Ran’s return, Ye Zhichen was excited and volunteered to pick her up at the airport.

However, Su Ran declined her offer.

With Ye Zhichen being pregnant and the roads congested, Su Ran didn’t want her to exhaust herself coming and going.

It wasn’t a rest day either, knowing that Fu Qiyuan was busy, she sent him her flight information when she boarded, and called the family driver to pick her up instead.

But just as Su Ran exited the station, she was surrounded by reporters.

She wasn’t sure how these resourceful reporters found out her flight details; from the looks of it, they had been waiting for quite some time.

"President Su, Queen dominated this Paris Fashion Week, surpassing other international brands and breaking several records. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Was it within your expectations for Queen to secure the number one global daily sales in fashion?"

"How did you manage to invite international supermodels like Xi Jian and Daisy?"

"Not only the clothes, but the models’ makeup and accessories from this fashion week have also become sensational. Did you anticipate this?"

"It’s been heard that Qianran International’s stock has been continually hitting the limit up these days. Is this true?"

"President Su, are you really the president of the Hua Country Fashion Association?"

"Regarding the plagiarism issue with the CE designer, how will the Hua Country Fashion Association handle it?"
