After the last meeting with Xingyuan, Shadow Walker and the association president, Han Xueli returned to the company's office alone and fell into deep contemplation.

She poured herself a small glass of wine with familiarity, took a sip, and began to reflect on everything that had just happened.

"Shadow Walker was clearly covering for Yuying just now."

She muttered to herself, the logic of which struck her as odd, but it seemed to be the case.

"Why would he do this?"

Han Xueli stroked the wine glass, her heart filled with confusion.

She clearly remembered that Lin Ange once told her personally that he fired the gun from the roof of a nearby building that day. If Shadow Walker was really nearby at the time, it was impossible for him not to have noticed Lin Ange. So, why did he open his mouth to prove that? Was there no one nearby at the time?

As a strong woman who has controlled the entire Yaoyang Group at a young age and is now slowly encroaching on the Peninsula Federation, Han Xueli has always been very confident in her judgment.

Although her plan to conquer the Peninsula Federation is not going very smoothly at the moment, her keen intuition and insight are unquestionable.

"Shadow of Desire has made contact with Shadow Walker."

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

However, why should we contact other heroes when we already have her?

Thinking of this, she felt upset again and took a sip of wine to calm down.

"...Yes, he took the initiative to contact me before. It is not surprising that he is now in contact with another A-level hero." She said to herself.

Lin Ange had mentioned to her before that he would not have direct contact with Xingyuan, but he did not say that he would not contact other people.

"well."

Han Xueli sighed, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Was it nervousness, anxiety, or something else? She couldn't explain it herself.

She was worried that Yuying would be taken away from her, and this worry made her unable to calm down.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this possibility is not small, because Yuying doesn't seem to really trust her.

At this moment, she was sitting in the office of the president of Yaoyang Group, with the warm sunshine behind her. She smoothed her long sky-blue hair and tried to make her thoughts clear.

It had been a while since the last regular meeting with Yuying.

Every time they met, they always spent more time chatting than talking about work.

"How are you these days?", "Anything happy?", "Are you tired?"

These trivial questions, which might only be shared with friends, were the main focus of their meetings.

As time passed, Han Xueli gradually realized that she was unknowingly looking forward to spending time with him.

Only when she was with him could she temporarily forget the dual pressure of work and heroic activities and talk with a sincere smile.

Lin Ange is one of the few people who treats her like a friend, not as a special high-level person like others, which makes her feel rare and precious.

What surprised her even more was that he seemed to know her very well and could accurately express her innermost thoughts and ideas.

And his abilities are impeccable.

"Without him, the Peninsula Federation must have collapsed several times." Han Xueli thought to herself.

In her eyes, the current world is very deformed.

One major terrorist attack occurred one after another, and each one was enough to plunge the Peninsula Federation into chaos and collapse.

However, Lin Ange was like a solid barrier, blocking most disasters.

It is precisely because of his presence that everything can remain stable for the time being, otherwise the city is like a fragile sandcastle that is in danger of collapsing at any time.

Therefore, he is an irreplaceable and precious existence, both for Han Xueli personally and for the entire Peninsula Federation.

But now the question is.

"Why on earth can't you trust me?"

This question has been lingering in Han Xueli's mind.

Lin Ange always seemed conservative and vigilant in front of her. She took great pains to learn his real name, and went through all kinds of hardships to see his true face. However, to this day she still has no idea where he lives.

"I guess he might think I would betray him..."

His defensiveness made Han Xueli very dissatisfied.

Why would she betray him? Considering what she had received from him so far, and the long-term benefits to come, she had never entertained such a foolish thought.

If possible, Han Xueli would like to cooperate with him for the rest of her life.

But the cruel reality made her feel helpless. She couldn't even visit him when he was injured, just because she didn't know his address.

"...Did someone say bad things about me to him behind his back?"

Such thoughts made Han Xueli feel depressed. She couldn't help but take another sip of wine. When the bottle of wine was about to bottom out, she felt a little tipsy.

Han Xueli, whose cheeks were slightly red, looked down at her phone and made a decision in her heart. No matter what, she couldn't let herself continue to be passive like this.

She was drunk anyway, so if things didn't go well, she would use that as an excuse and say she was talking nonsense.

With such determination, she called Lin Ange.

The phone communication with Lin Ange was extremely smooth, which surprised Han Xueli.

It seems that timely displays of vulnerability also have a positive side.

The invitation from the other end of the phone surprised her. She finally had the opportunity to enter Lin Ange's private space.

Although recalling the process of the call, her cheeks were slightly red, but no matter what, the result was perfect.

When she stepped into the hidden valley, her first impression was - this place is really nice and very suitable to live in.

The huge mansion in front of her looks like it can easily accommodate dozens of people. Although the house Han Xueli lives in is not small, it is like a cold castle, lifeless, unlike the big house full of life in front of her. The style is completely different.

The door opened, and it was not Lin Ange who appeared in front of her, but a woman.

"Hello, are you Han Xueli?"

"Oh...yes, hello."

"Hello, I am Fang Xinxin."

Fang Xinxin greeted Han Xueli with a friendly smile.

Han Xueli smiled back on the surface, but was surprised on the inside.

……What? Why did this woman show up at his house?

Oh, it's to take care of him temporarily, right? After all, he had to stay in bed now.

But her self-comforting thoughts were completely shattered after entering the mansion.

When Han Xueli walked to Lin Ange's room, she met many women along the way.

There was an orange-haired woman who looked at her with an unhappy look, a silver-haired girl with a wary look on her face, and a girl with long black hair and a mysterious smile.

Their clothes are casual and comfortable, giving people a homely feel. It is obvious that they are not temporary guests, but have lived here for a long time.

Han Xueli fell into great confusion for a moment. She didn't understand why Lin Ange lived in the same house with so many women. Is there any special reason for this?

She opened the door full of doubts and saw Lin Ange lying quietly on the bed.

"Hi, An Ge."

“Oh…Hi, you’re here so soon?

"Yes. It's my first time at your house, so of course I have to hurry up."

Han Xueli tried her best to stay calm and managed a smile.

She tried hard to tell herself that now was not the time to pursue questions. She came here to visit Lin Ange, not to launch an attack on him.

...But even so, it shouldn't be a big deal to ask a question by the way, right?

So with a scary smile, she raised her doubts.

"...I saw on the way to this room that there seem to be many different women in your home. Do you live together?"

"Haha, that's right."

Facing her question, Lin Ange looked away in embarrassment

Hearing this answer, Han Xueli's heart sank to freezing point. She once held on to a glimmer of hope, expecting him to deny it, but now even this last glimmer of hope has been shattered.

"...Uh, Xue Li, don't you feel a little cold suddenly?"

Sensing something strange about her, Lin Ange twisted his body uneasily on the bed.

"President, did your visit go well today?"

"...Can you bring me a bottle of wine?"

"OK."

Han Xueli took the wine bottle handed over by the secretary, sat down in the spacious office, waved the secretary to leave, and tasted the bitterness of the wine alone.

Today's visit actually went well. She talked a lot with Lin Ange later.

But in fact, none of the things they talked about afterwards were important. The most important piece of information she got during this trip was that the relationship between Lin Ange and the members of the Shadow Alliance was very close.

They were so close that living under the same roof made it difficult for her to ignore them.

"...Yes, in the adult world, nothing is easy."

She said to herself, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Lin Ange hadn't taken the initiative to pay attention to her side of the situation for a long time, and now she realized that, in fact, he was more of a hero than a villain.

So it's not a good thing for him to get involved with those female villains, it will definitely lead to him being ruined.

Thinking of the female members of the Shadow Alliance who were watching her warily, Han Xueli shook her head gently and took another sip of wine.

She needed time to digest it all and think about how to deal with this new situation.

The alcohol gradually seeped into her mind, and her thinking began to become blurry.

Yuying is fascinated by Xingyuan.

And he's better suited to be a hero.

The current main competitors are the members of the Villain Alliance.

Combining this information, Han Xueli began to think about what she should do.

Alliance, alliance...

She repeated the word silently, trying to find a breakthrough.

He seems to have said that he is going to travel next time?

With this in mind, Han Xueli unconsciously looked at Li Xingran's phone number in her address book.

Li Xingran doesn't know Yuying's true face, so this may be an opportunity she can take advantage of.

Finally, a smile appeared on Han Xueli's face.

She decided to take action and give it a try no matter the outcome.

"Uh... I have an ominous feeling. This trip won't be the same as last time. Is there any accident?"

"Brother, don't say unlucky words."

However, no matter how Zhao Lingwei comforted him, Lin Ange still felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, making him shiver involuntarily.
