Grabbing the mobile phone on the table, Yunxi worriedly chased into the corridor and came to Tangsi's study door.
He raised his hand and was about to knock the door, but Tang Si had already opened the study door.
"Third brother?"
"It's a bit urgent, I'll go out."
After giving her an explanation, Tang Si hurriedly walked up the stairs.
"Third brother!" Yun Xi chased after him, "What happened?"
Stopping, Tang Si turned around and gave her a comforting smile.
"There's something going on at the company, don't worry, I might come back later, don't wait for me."
Yunxi walked quickly to the terrace and watched Tang Si's car drive away, her eyebrows slowly frowning.
It's so late, what's going on?
Buzz——
Mobile phone vibration.
Glancing at Mr. Zhang's phone number on the screen, Yunxi put the call through and put it in his ear.
On the phone, Mr. Zhang's tone couldn't hide his excitement.
"Miss Yun, the other party agreed to purchase our Lithospermum microphylla at twice the price. But..."
"But what?"
"The quantity he wants is huge. If we agree to his purchase, then you will have to wait for the next batch of herbs. Didn't you say last time that your company's traditional Chinese medicine production line will be online soon, and it won't affect your production?
?”
"It doesn't matter." Yun Xi smiled slyly, "Give him as much as he wants!"
Putting the phone on the table, Yunxi took the red pen on the table and drew a cross heavily on the word "Zhou Family" on the notepad.

The Tang Club.
Top floor tea room.
Tang Si frowned and sat on the tea table. There were more than a dozen photos scattered on the tea table in front of him.
In the photo, a family of four, including the grandmother, husband, wife, and children, were all lying in a pool of blood.
Tang Si knew that man, he was his former comrade-in-arms.
In the photo in Tang Si's hand, there is a little girl who is only three or four years old.
Her throat was cut open, and her white dress was stained red with blood.
Even Tang Si, who had been on the battlefield, couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
"A family of four, all dead." Tang Chi stood in front of the table, his voice trembling, "These beasts didn't even spare a child."
Putting the photo back on the table, Tang Si lowered his eyelashes.
"Where did the photo come from?"
"It was sent to me by Old Liu from our team." Tang Chi shrugged, "I heard that several of the comrades who participated in the previous encirclement and suppression operations have died, and all of them were wiped out."
"Are you sure it has something to do with them?"
Tang Chi took out one of the photos and handed it to him, "Look at this."
The photo shows a close-up of the male comrade's chest, with a bloody "vulture" silhouette carved out by a sharp blade at the position of his heart.
Seeing that familiar symbol, Tang Si's brows jumped heavily.
Operation Vulture was the last mission Tang Si performed before retiring from the army.
At that time, they were responsible for encircling and suppressing a drug trafficking group, and Tang Si was the person in charge of this mission.
The vulture pattern is the symbol of the other party.
Every member of the group will have such a tattoo on their chest.
The appearance of such tattoos on the bodies of slain comrades is enough to prove that it is all related to vultures.
"How did they know?" Tang Si asked with a frown.
The operation back then was classified as a secret operation, and the team was a temporary elite group drawn from various units, and everyone used code names.
It is impossible for the other party to know their real name and identity.
"I don't know about this." Tang Chi frowned, "I can eat enough for myself and the whole family is not hungry, but... on your side, do you want to make some arrangements for the old man and Miss Yun?"
Since the other party can find this comrade, they might be the next ones to take revenge.
Tang Chi is an orphan and has no family. He has been following Tang Si since he retired.
Now, what he is most worried about is the safety of the Tang family and Yun Xi.
Tang Si thought deeply for a moment and raised his face.
"Tomorrow, you arrange for the old man to go to the south to recuperate in advance."
Mr. Tang was in poor health and would go to the south to recuperate every autumn and winter.
Let the old man go there in advance, find a safe place, and arrange more manpower for protection, so that everything will be safe.
"Okay." Tang Chi nodded in agreement, "Then... where is Miss Yunxi?!"
His eyes swept over the dazzling bloodstains in the photo, and Tang Si raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"I need to think about it carefully."
If the other party really finds him, Yunxi will be in danger.
However, Yunxi...
It was impossible for Tang Si to hide her.
How should he protect her in this situation?
Seeing his embarrassment, Tang Chi coughed lightly.
"It's getting late. Why don't you go back and rest first? The other party might be able to find you. If that doesn't work, I'll arrange more manpower to protect the lady 24 hours a day."
Tang Si agreed, packed up the photos on the table and handed them to Tang Chi.
The two of them took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the parking lot. Tang Si stopped again and turned to look at Tang Chi seriously.
"Don't tell Xixi about this matter."
If that girl knew that he was facing such danger, she would be so worried that she couldn't sleep every night.
"Don't worry, I'm sensible."
Tang Chi agreed and opened the car door for him.
Sitting in the back seat, Tang Si held his head with one hand and fell into deep thought.
The car returned to the suburban mansion again. He frowned and returned to the room upstairs. He gently opened the door and went in.
Yunxi tilted his head and lay on the pillow.
His facial features were a little hazy under the warm night light.
Tang Si walked lightly to the bed and saw a note taped to the lampshade of the desk lamp.
There were only three words on the note.
"I do".
Knowing that she was answering his question about getting a marriage certificate.
Looking at the words on the note, Tang Si's eyebrows furrowed even more.
He bent down and sat down next to her.
Tang Si gently took her hand with the engagement ring on it, put it in his own palm, frowned and fell into deep thought.
He had to think of a way.
Protect her!
Feeling his movement, Yunxi turned over and opened her eyes drowsily.
"Third brother?"
"Woke you up?"
Leaning her head to his side, Yun Xi squinted her eyes and shook her head.
"Is nothing wrong?"
Tang Si helped her turn off the desk lamp to prevent the light from hurting her eyes, and lay down beside her.
"It's no big deal."
After adjusting the information, Yunxi put her head in his arms.
"Whenever you want to get the certificate, we can go there."
"I know." Tang Si stroked her long hair, "Go to sleep!
Soon, she fell asleep again.
After she fell asleep, Tang Si stood up carefully and pinched the note on the lamp.
He walked out of the bedroom quietly and came to the study.
He grabbed his cell phone and dialed a long-lost number.
"Chief, it's me, Tang Si."
"You guys, you thought you had forgotten me, an old man!" On the phone, the old leader smiled gently, "It's so late at night, why are you still not sleeping?"
"I already know about the vulture. I need all the relevant information and your authorization." His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and Tang Si's tone was deep, "I want to continue to complete this mission and arrest everyone."
Tang Si has never been a person who likes to sit back and wait for death.
In this situation, it is better to wait here than to take the initiative.
The old leader's tone became solemn: "Tang Si, you have to know that this matter... is very dangerous."
"I know." Tang Si glanced sideways, staring at the three words "I do" on the note, "I must protect my family. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to strike preemptively."
"I understand." The old leader's tone became serious, "Tomorrow, we will meet and talk."
