"You have contacted Mark several times, but there has been no progress in your heart-stealing plan?"
"I don't ask you to kill him, I just ask you to gain his trust."
"Only in this way will Forbidden City have the opportunity to hit him with a single blow in the future."
The person on the other end of the phone was in a state of emotion and started asking questions, obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Qianqian's answers.
"Auntie, I know your eagerness and understand your difficulties."
Xu Qianqian leaned on her seat and turned on the music to ease the atmosphere:
"It's just that I also want you to know that Mark is really no longer just a little doctor's son-in-law."
"Perhaps he was once weak and incompetent, but now he has grown beyond our imagination."
"To describe it in one sentence, he learned badly."
"The ancients said that if you study well for ten years, you will be a bad student for three days. He is a bad student now."
"You may not think of others as harmless, but deep down they are more alert than anyone else."
"I have made him wary. If he continues to stalk me, it will be easy for him to see his intentions, and then all my plans will come to nothing."
"Furthermore, he doesn't reject all women. Except for Song Hongyan and Tang Ruoxue, he treats all other women with passion and politeness."
"Besides, there are a lot of women around him doing things for him, and all of them have their own uniqueness and charm. How can I easily get close to them?"
Xu Qianqian complained to the other party with a wry smile.
The tone on the other end of the phone was cold: "It seems that not only can you not kill Mark, but you can't even gain trust?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for a while, and I decided to change my strategy and not attack Ye Fan for the time being."
Xu Qianqian was very calm about the current difficulties, and then spoke in a low voice about future strategies:
"He needs manpower to do things in Xiang Country. I guess he will be of great value to him."
"I want to help him win the battle against Shen Bancheng, and then use these credits to get closer."
She added: "Of course, if I had the opportunity to stab him to death, I would not hesitate to do it."
For Xu Qianqian, winning Ye Fan's trust is an arduous task, and stabbing Ye Fan with a knife is even more difficult.
This is more difficult than her stealing the famous painting "The Old Man and the Sea" and the Emperor's Heart.
Before the mission, she thought that she could easily take down this little puppy named Ye Fan with her looks and style.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two parties met, Ye Fan became instinctively wary of her.
No matter how close and honest she was, she couldn't get close to Mark's heart, forcing her to play aloof.
What made her depressed was that she left Ye Fan twice, but Ye Fan never missed her once.
Even when greeting friends, Ye Fan didn't bother to show up, which made her conclude that Ye Fan was keeping her distance.
Especially when Ye Fan saved her life from Xiong Tianjun, Xu Qianqian felt that her heart-stealing plan had flaws.
She vaguely felt that it was not she who was stealing Mark's heart, but Mark's heart.
But the positions of both parties decided that she must do her best to suppress Ye Fan.
After hearing Xu Qianqian's words, the other party's expression softened a lot, and then he said:
"Qianqian, I'm sorry, I sounded a little harsh just now."
"Actually, my aunt doesn't want to rush you, but after the Ye family's birthday party, your brother's prestige and status have been shaken."
"Although Ye Fan has not returned to the Ye family, his reputation and achievements are getting bigger and bigger."
"Shenzhou joins the World Medical Alliance, Yang Kingdom loots the Blood Dragon Garden, and Nan Kingdom kills Fubang's gang..."
"Whether it is overt or covert, these achievements have earned him high praise from Ye Tang."
"Even the old lady sometimes praises him."
"Although Ye Tiandong said that he would not consider the choice of Young Master within three years, this lack of consideration can be regarded as favoring Ye Fan."
"At Ye Fan's current rate of rise, in three years, who else in the entire Ye family will be able to compete with him?"
"I have to make plans early, otherwise the Forbidden City will have nothing, and the entire big house will never have a chance to turn around."
"It's just that you also know that Ye Fan's identity is sensitive now. Too many people from the Ye family are watching, and neither the Forbidden City nor the Luo family can take any action."
"I can only put my hope in you."
After the strong force, the other party's voice became softer, with a touch of pity.
Xu Qianqian's heart trembled slightly, and then she whispered:
"Auntie, don't worry, I will gain Ye Fan's trust as soon as possible."
"No matter what, I will not let him take away my brother's position in Forbidden City."
"The war in Xiangguo is at a fever pitch. I will work hard to find an opportunity to defeat Ye Fan."
She finally decided to take a long-term view, hoping to end Ye Fan's opportunity to continue to rise in the Xiang Kingdom.
She just didn't know why, but after hanging up the phone, she looked at the sky and felt a hint of heartache.
Xu Qianqian pulled down her mask and took a deep breath...
At almost the same moment, a passing Mercedes-Benz captured her appearance without any trace.
An hour later, in the backyard of No. 1 Village, Shen Bancheng and Xiong Tianjun were deducing the situation in Longdu.
The two expressed worry about Shen Xiaodiao and others who suddenly lost contact.
While they were preparing for the worst, they activated Longdu spies to inquire about the situation.
Near the end, Shen Bancheng's phone vibrated, and he picked it up to answer it for a moment.
Then, he placed Xu Qianqian's photo in front of Xiong Tianjun.
"You asked me to send someone to keep an eye on Ye Fan and the thief."
"The spies have been guarding that woman for several days, and today they finally caught her chance to come out alone."
"It's just that her activity area is not far from the Black Elephant League, and she is extremely cunning and agile, so the spies did not attack her."
"But I still found a chance to secretly take a photo."
"I am very unfamiliar with her. Take a look and see if you have any impression or information about this woman."
"She can sneak into the first village and escape from you and me. She should not be an ordinary person."
Shen Bancheng narrowed his eyes when he saw Xu Qianqian.
"I should have met this woman before."
Xiong Tianjun picked up his phone and looked at it. It didn't feel very familiar, but he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
He closed his eyes and thought hard, then suddenly opened his eyes:
"I have seen this woman in Baocheng."
"It was at a private banquet in Ye Forbidden City."
"Yes, he appeared at the banquet in Ye Forbidden City, and the two of them are very close."
Xiong Tianjun made a judgment: "80% of them are people under Ye Jincheng and the others."
"People from Ye Forbidden City?"
Shen Bancheng's voice dropped: "He sent this woman to spy on us?"
"This shouldn't be possible."
Xiong Tianjun shook his head gently, with a hint of amusement on his face:
"Ye Forbidden City itself is also very busy right now, consolidating its connections internally and taking all kinds of credit externally."
"The rise of Ye Fan has brought huge pressure and variables to him, the iron-clad young master of Ye Hall."
"He didn't even take the position of young master, why is he provoking us because he's crazy?"
Xiong Tianjun's thinking was still very clear: "It's probably because this woman happened to come to the first village and steal something."
He also thought of his ambush on Ye Fan on the seas of Yangguo and Nanguo, and an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Bancheng's voice deepened: "We found the master, so that will be easy."
"No matter how much she heard or informed Ye Fan on that day, these are troubled times and I don't want her to live."
"Otherwise there will be a second time if there is a first time!"
"And I want to see if that woman was sent by Ye Forbidden City."
