Chapter 1596
Yan Aohan nodded beside her. "Exactly. It is such a good day today. We should not listen to bad news. We really do not need to hear bad things."
The Silver Fox’s doubts grew deeper. He had a feeling that Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi already knew the Godfather would come to the capital.
Zhu Yanyi saw the food was almost gone. She stood up. "What do you want to eat? I will get some more."
"Get whatever you like. I am not picky," Yan Aohan said with a smile.
"Blue Mountain coffee," the Silver Fox ordered.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head in disdain. She still did not understand why the Silver Fox liked coffee, but she did not care. She just let it be.
Zhu Yanyi walked out. Watching her get food, the Silver Fox said to Yan Aohan, "I feel like you two are hiding something from me."
Yan Aohan smiled softly. "Maybe. If we are both hiding it from you, it means it has nothing to do with you. Does it matter if you know?" Yan Aohan looked at the Silver Fox. "You, Silver Fox, are not someone who gets confused. Why are you curious about what we hide?"
The Silver Fox paused. Yes, he rarely got curious. He did not need to care about too many things. But now, he realized he could feel curiosity. He had changed a little.
Yan Aohan looked at him. "Silver Fox, since you came to this world, you can only be Silver Fox, not Qian Huansheng. You should have known this long ago. I thought you understood. But now I see you never truly understood. You have not separated from your past identity."
The Silver Fox closed his eyes slightly. On this planet, he could not be Qian Huansheng. He should not be. Even if he came with a purpose, here he was only Silver Fox. Not being Qian Huansheng meant he did not need his strategist skills. He did not need to calculate so much.
But calculation, conspiracy, and strategy were carved into his bones. He could not just ignore everything at once.
"I do not know how to be Silver Fox," the Silver Fox said. "Perhaps I should say, I do not know how to forget the past."
"You have always been Silver Fox here. You did well," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "And you do not need to forget the past. You just need to put it aside for now."
The Silver Fox tilted his head. "How did you become Yan Aohan so well?"
"Because I was always Yan Aohan," Yan Aohan laughed. "I have always been myself. So there was never a question of how to do it well."
The Silver Fox closed his eyes again. He needed to think. He had to admit Yan Aohan’s words shook him. He was Silver Fox. He needed to be a good Silver Fox. But how to be someone unexpected? He wanted to be a good Silver Fox.
But with so many connections, how could he be a simple Silver Fox?
Why did Silver Fox exist? Silver Fox existed because the Holy Church needed such a person. He joined the Church to have a legitimate identity in this world. Since he did it, he must do it well. Since Qian Huansheng did not exist here, he was not Qian Huansheng. At least here, he was only Silver Fox. As Yan Aohan said, he just needed to put the past aside for now.
He understood. He opened his eyes. "I will try my best to be a good Silver Fox."
Yan Aohan nodded with a smile. "I always believed you could be a good Silver Fox." He laughed lightly. "Because you have hope in your heart. Only because you have hope can you be a good Silver Fox."
The Silver Fox understood. He came here for that hope. Since he was Silver Fox here, he must be a good Silver Fox. "I understand."
Yan Aohan knew the Silver Fox was not someone who would get stuck in dead ends. He said, "Since you understand, do we still need to meet the Godfather?"
"What does meeting the Godfather have to do with me? That is your business," the Silver Fox glanced at Yan Aohan, showing slight indifference.
Yan Aohan glanced back. "Truly a heartless person. I should not have reminded you."
"Even if you did not remind me, I would have figured it out," the Silver Fox replied.
Yan Aohan chuckled, with a hint of disdain. "If you had truly figured it out, you would not have done such a foolish thing today."
The Silver Fox paused. It seemed he had done something foolish. Fortunately, Yan Aohan never helped him do things he did not want to do.
"The Godfather is in the capital. Do you want to meet him?" the Silver Fox asked. "I can arrange it for you."
"No," Yan Aohan refused directly. "Ani has finally forgotten. Why bring her up? Besides, she came for you. So this time, the Godfather only targets you. What are we doing there? We are not going." Yan Aohan smiled faintly. In his heart, Zhu Yanyi was more important than anything.
The Silver Fox did not understand Yan Aohan’s meaning, but he knew Yan Aohan would not meet the Godfather.
The Silver Fox thought for a moment, then said, "After the Godfather leaves the capital, his next stop might be Xiangshui."
"Oh?" Yan Aohan looked at the Silver Fox. Since he said it, he would likely tell him the Godfather’s purpose in Xiangshui.
"He wants to meet the Chen family in Xiangshui," the Silver Fox said without hiding anything. "His rapid development in the Tibetan area is connected to the Chen family in Xiangshui. Now the Chen family is declining. So he needs to go to the Chen family to help them."
"It seems I need to go to Xiangshui in a couple of days," Yan Aohan said calmly. If the Godfather went to Xiangshui, the Shangguan family would have trouble.
If it was against the Chen family, the Shangguan family was not afraid. But if the Godfather interfered, it was uncertain. The Godfather had no bottom line. He never thought about whether his actions were right or wrong. So his going to Xiangshui was not good for the Shangguan family.
Therefore, Yan Aohan decided to go to Xiangshui himself. Zhu Yanyi would not meet the Godfather, but that did not mean she did not need to.
Sometimes meeting people was not bad.
The Silver Fox looked at Yan Aohan, not understanding his plan. But one thing was certain: as long as Yan Aohan went to Xiangshui, any of the Godfather’s plans would fail.
