Chapter 470-471
Chapter 470: Great Opportunity That Had Been Handed to Him
Sure enough, as she had expected, during the entire day, Li Sinuo kept approaching the back row where Yun Xi and Yang Lu were sitting.
She either pulled classmates aside to talk near them, or she deliberately went to the back row to discuss problems with others who were sitting there.
Yun Xi realized that she was purposely trying to spy on them.
Taking advantage of some spare time during study hall, Yun Xi sent a message to Han Yaotian, inviting him to join her for a meal since it was Christmas.
There was usually a group of bodyguards around him, and it wasn’t easy to get close to him.
And as the antidrug team led by Mu Feichi pursued the Crocodile organization, it was impossible for Han Yaotian and those protecting him not to be growing anxious.
The people who had been sent out to kidnap Han Yaotian last time had all been wiped out, so they had never had to surrender the list. The Han family had strengthened their vigilance.
The longer the delay, the easier it was for the people on the list to become exposed.
There was no movement from the people on the list. It was obvious that the list was either still in the hands of the Han family or Mu Feichi was waiting for his opportunity.
From the looks of the Han family’s lineup of bodyguards, the man who was Mu
Feichi’s target had probably guessed that the list was still in the hands of the Han family.
Therefore, all his attention was now focused on Han Yaotian.
It was just that Han Yaotian had so many bodyguards around him, it wasn’t easy to approach him. He had asked Li Sinuo to watch Yun Xi and make a move as soon as she saw them together.
At noon, Yun Xi and Yang Lu had stayed in the classroom doing math problems. They were deliberately delaying their meal time.
There were only three people in the classroom: Yun Xi, Yang Lu, and Li Sinuo.
Yun Xi glanced at Li Sinuo, who was pretending to do her homework but was obviously alert and trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. She chuckled lightly.
“Lulu, do you remember Chairman Han from the other day? He’s invited us to a big feast on Christmas. Do you want to go?”
“Sure! Of course I’m going to join in the fun if someone is treating us to a meal. It’s going to be very lively everywhere today since it’s Christmas.”
After a slight pause, Yun Xi stood up and looked toward Li Sinuo. “Li Sinuo, since it’s Christmas, would you like to have a meal together?”
Upon hearing Yun Xi call out her name, Li Sinuo froze. She turned her head sheepishly, as if she was completely surprised that Yun Xi would invite her anywhere.
“Someone else will be paying. Do you want to go or not?”
Yang Lu also urged her to join them. “Let’s go to keep each other company. We should go out for a nice meal to celebrate Christmas.”
Li Sinuo hesitated. Of course she was aware that Yun Xi must have some ulterior motives for inviting her.
After all, with all the bad blood between them, she would never sincerely invite her out to spend Christmas together.
After suffering at her hands so many times, Li Sinuo had become apprehensive and was always on guard.
But when she thought of the task that her boyfriend had assigned her to do, she struggled with the decision. She finally nodded. “All right then, thank you. I’ll go too.”
“Okay, great. Yun Xi, when will Chairman Han come to pick us up?”
“Probably when school’s over this afternoon. Last time, I went to eat Western food with Yumo. This time, the three of us will go together. Chairman Han is rich and dumb anyway.”
“Okay, then it’s settled.”
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Li Sinuo hurriedly sent a message to her boyfriend to tell him about their plans to go out for dinner that night after school.
Upon receiving this news, the man hesitated. He hadn’t expected his opportunity to come so soon.
However, he wasn’t going to pass up this chance. He went to the school and waited in his car at the school gates for Han Yaotian to walk into his trap.
...
Because Mu Feichi had taken Yun Xi away from him the last time they’d been together, Han Yaotian realized that Yun Xi was probably very important to Mu Feichi.
They were both men, and from Mu Feichi’s hostile attitude toward him, it wasn’t difficult to discern that girl’s importance in Young Marshal Mu’s mind.
That being the case, Yun Xi could be extremely useful to him.
In order to maintain a cordial relationship between them, during Christmas, a holiday little girls have all sorts of fantasies about, treating her to a meal was a great opportunity that had been handed to him.
Moreover, this opportunity had been initiated by Yun Xi. It would be foolish of him to refuse.

Chapter 471: I Can’t Discipline You!
Before school ended, Yun Xi received a message from Mu Feichi, saying that the man they’d been shadowing was lying in ambush at the school gates and asking her if she had started to make her move.
Yun Xi couldn’t deny that if she wanted to set up this trap she would inevitably have to ask Mu Feichi for help.
But as soon as she’d told him that she’d invited Han Yaotian out for a meal, he’d immediately called her.
“How many times have I told you not to use yourself as bait? Babe, are you trying to rebel against me?”
Mu Feichi’s voice sounded sullen on the other end of the phone. It seemed that no matter how she explained it to him, it was unforgivable for her to involve herself.
“Um...can we discuss this? If I don’t personally get involved in this matter, Han Yaotian alone won’t lure the fish. Han Yaotian is the bait, and I’m the fisherman.”
Had it not been for Lin Sen’s involvement, she would have acted first and reported later.
She was now planning to settle Lin Sen and Li Sinuo in one fell swoop, but now, if Mu Feichi disagreed, her plan couldn’t be carried out.
Because she needed the help of Mu Feichi’s Mu Corporation to deal with this dangerous man in the end. She couldn’t do it alone.
If her plan alarmed that man before the time was right, it would be difficult for them to lure that man out again.
“What bait? What fisherman? I think you’re playing with fire. Today’s plan is canceled.”
“No, it’s impossible. The bait has already lured out the fish. I need your cooperation. Also, you have to get me the medicine I want. The place for dinner today is the Sigda Hotel. Familiarize yourself with the terrain near the hotel, and do your preparations beforehand. I’ve studied the topographic map of Shangxin Road. That is the most suitable route. Once their people show up, you must take care of it.”
“You are getting more and more out of line. I can’t discipline you!”
Listening to his conversation, Li Zilan, who had been sitting on the sofa while discussing future plans with Mu Feichi, couldn’t help but sneer when she heard him say that.
If he really had the ability to discipline that girl, he wouldn’t be fuming with rage at the moment.
“I don’t agree with this plan. Don’t you dare act recklessly!”
She made all the decisions, acted first, and then reported afterward. He hadn’t had the slightest mental preparation.
She was really going to kill him from exploding with anger.
This morning, she had just promised him that she wouldn’t act recklessly. And now she was going to use herself as bait...
She clearly had already planned everything without telling him because she had wanted to do it herself.
He was fuming with rage.
“I’m not acting recklessly. If that man doesn’t make a move, you guys won’t get any damaging information about him either. He seems like an average researcher on the surface, but this time he’s taking a huge risk by making a move, and this is an excellent opportunity. We can lure him out in one fell swoop.”
“It’s easy to say, but what about after we capture him? If he refuses to betray Crocodile, how do you plan on luring Crocodile out?”
“Isn’t there still a list? The list is in your hands. You can get to them one by one. I don’t believe that Crocodile will remain calm then.”
“Then you’re underestimating Crocodile. Do you think he cares about the lives of these small potatoes? In order to save themselves, when some people are forced into a dead end, they will ruthlessly cut loose ends.”
“But no matter what, this is also an opportunity. I know how to take care of myself without putting myself in danger.”
“You may, but have you considered your classmates? With the three of you, you would be lucky if you’re able to mind just yourself.”
“That’s why I told you to prepare the medicine. I will distract Lulu, and, as for Li Sinuo, you have to prepare what I asked, or she’ll slip through the net! I’ll give you five minutes to think about it.”
“Nonnegotiable!”
“It must be negotiated!”
“,,,..” The two of them were in a stalemate.
She wouldn’t give in, and Mu Feichi wouldn’t compromise.
