A few days later.

The capital was shaken with the news of the ruination of the Zhao family. Just a few days ago, the Zhao's were hailed as one of the super-rich families in the capital. Albeit not surpassing the Great 4 families, they still had quite an influence in the capital.

Thus, when they were taken down by these unexpected events, other super rich families that had some dirty things hidden deep inside their pasts, they couldn't help but fear that they were next and decided to start a low-profile for the time being.

As for those who worked hard without dying their hands with blood, they were both relieved and ecstatic to see that the arrogant and impertinent Zhao family had fallen from their high status.

At this time, Yan Xiaoran stood at the airport to see Alexander out. He had something to take care of in Country R and because Yan Xiaoran also had something to deal in the capital, they had no choice but to part for the time being.

As for Little Koala, Yan Xiaoran was now taking care of her as her adopted daughter. Strange as it is to claim your half-sister as your daughter, Yan Xiaoran wasn't worried about the rumors as she will protect her family from harm and she wouldn't treat her new daughter unfairly just because of their circumstances.

Besides that, Yan Xiaoran already took care of the things that would lead Little Koala to the Zhao's. She hired someone to erase everything, especially the publicity stunts that the Zhao family has done for Little Koala over the past few years from the internet.

Her face wouldn't be shown anymore in social media since her photos and videos were deleted successfully. Yan Xiaoran didn't know what the Zhao's were thinking when they released the photos of Little Koala and even made her do a commercial.

For such a young child to be exposed in the public, nothing good will come out of it as the world on the internet was more toxic and filled with nonsense.

It may be a given that they really loved the child and wanted to show off. But after seeing how many contracts and how much money they got from exposing Little Koala to the public, it seems that the Zhao was more willing to use the younger generation of their family to gain more profit and popularity.

Just thinking about the reports that she read last night, the more Yan Xiaoran wanted to take Little Koala away from them. Even Alexander had to give it to the Zhao family for being such hypocrites and wished he could make them pay for it.

"Be careful." Yan Xiaofei put the scarf around Alexander's neck. This will be the first time that they will be apart from each other after they got married to each other.

She didn't know where he'll be going and doing. But since she already trusted him, she won't care about his business for as long as it wouldn't hurt him.

"Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as possible." Alexander said to her and put his forehead against hers. "Take care of Little Koala and yourself. I don't want to know that when I came back you two got a cold. Also, don't trust anyone, especially men."

"Oh, so I can't trust you then." She looked at him with a fake-shock expression.

Alexander immediately said, "Of course not. I'm not one of them since I'm your husband."

Yan Xiaoran slightly laughed at his words. She knew what he was worried about.

Even though she wasn't an extraordinary beauty, Yan Xiaoran has no intention to entertain any men. Besides, Alexander was more or less worried that some men would be too clingy and try to chase after her once he's out of the country.

After kissing each other lightly since it was inappropriate to do more in the public, it took a lot of effort for Alexander to separate himself from Yan Xiaoran.

The way his eyes turned cold the moment Yan Xiaoran's figure disappeared from his sight, it seems that he needed to quickly finish his business in Country R in order to go back to Yan Xiaoran early.

However, it seems that things weren't as easy as he thought when he got off the plane.

As soon as he got inside the car, Lu Yi, a member of the Red Flame said, "Young Master Alexander, the goods that was supposed to be sent to our base was blocked by a group of mercenaries. Our men weren't injured as much but most of the good were ruined."

Alexander's eyes grew colder. The atmosphere in the car was extremely dangerous that thw bodyguards and Lu Yi found it hard to breath. They even thought that a sword was drawn and pointed at their necks.

"Where did these mercenaries came from? Are they affiliated with any organizations that are against us?" Alexander's voice was cold and lack the usual gentle tone he used when he spoke to Yan Xiaoran.

Lu Yu replied, "We didn't get to capture any mercenary on the spot. They escaped as soon as they stole some of the good and destroyed some of it. After that I deployed some of our men. But none of them were found."

Alexander's jaw was set. The more he heard about this issue, the more it was becoming more annoying. The goods were after all costs about tens of billions.

The goods were supposed to be stored inside their base where the Red Flame, the thousands of active and retired soldiers and assassins were stationed at and trained. And also one of the main forces of Alexander.

However, it seems that the harsh training wasn't enough as a group mercenaries actually got through them and ended up stealing some of it.

Seeing that Alexander was getting angrier, Lu Yi wished he could go back to the base and exchange places with one of his brothers to accompany Alexander.

But he head no choice in this matter. As of now, Lu Yi also couldn't avoid making Alexander angrier as he continued, "As for the organization they belonged to… It is the Black Organization."

At this moment, Yan Xiaoran was standing before the floor-to-ceilinng window and her phone vibrated in her pocket.

She took out and merely glanced at the message sent to her: [The task is done. We will retreat before the Red Flame get to us.]

Yan Xiaoran typed her reply before sending: [Alright.]
