When Roxy returned to the hotel, Xin Yi and the others were anxiously trying to figure out why she had suddenly disappeared for most of the day. According to Xin Yi's speculation, Roxy must have gone out to investigate matters related to the Mei Organization on her own. If something were to happen during her mission, how could he find peace of mind? Fortunately, Roxy returned safe and sound, allowing everyone to temporarily relax.
Xin Yi asked, "Roxy, where did you go today? Did you go investigate the Mei Organization on your own?"
Roxy pulled out the ledger she had obtained from Yi Jiuchuan and handed it to Xin Yi. "I got this. Take a look and see if it's useful to you."
Xin Yi took the ledger and flipped through it, looking at Roxy with an incredulous expression. "What is this? What exactly did you do?"
Seeing Xin Yi's unusual demeanor, Garon took the ledger from him and began flipping through it. After just a few pages, Garon couldn't help but smile broadly and laughed, "Haha... I didn't expect Miss Roxy to obtain such important information in just half a day! With this, the Mei Organization is finished! Hahaha... Truly, heaven is helping our Guokan!" Then he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Miss Roxy, how did you manage to get such an important item?"
Roxy replied, "I infiltrated the Mei Organization and killed Yi Jiuchuan; that's how I got it."
"Infiltrated the Mei Organization and killed Yi Jiuchuan? My goodness! What have you done?" Garon exclaimed. "As far as I know, with the defenses of the Mei Organization, it's impossible for outsiders to get in. Even if you managed to infiltrate, killing Yi Jiuchuan would be extremely difficult. The guards around him are all top-notch experts he personally selected, even better than those around President Jiang Jiwen. Even if you could kill Yi Jiuchuan, there's no way you could escape smoothly. By the way, you weren't followed when you came back, were you?" Garon said nervously as he hurried over to the window to look down through the glass.
Roxy smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Garon; no one followed me..." She then recounted how she tracked Yi Jiuchuan's vehicle, created a traffic accident, followed him to Jiang Jiwen's Presidential Office, returned with him to his office, designed a plan to obtain the ledger and kill Yi Jiuchuan, and finally how she escaped. Of course, there were some details she chose not to share; as a girl, she sometimes had to consider her image—especially in front of Xin Yi. She was even less willing for Xin Yi to think of her as merely a woman who relied on her looks, even though everyone knew why she could easily gain Yi Jiuchuan's trust.
After Roxy finished speaking, both Garon and Topology applauded her courage and strategy with admiration. Only Xin Yi stood aside with a gloomy expression that suggested he was not very pleased. Garon said to Xin Yi, "Mr. Xin, why do you look so unhappy? With this ledger in hand, your mission here in Abayir is complete. You can leave successfully; once back in Guokan, just have Lord Toast organize people according to the information in the ledger to eliminate any undercover agents from the Mei Organization in Guokan. Then Guokan will be safe."
Xin Yi forced a smile and said, "Yes, obtaining this ledger is indeed our greatest achievement in coming to Abayir."
"Then I'll arrange for your return to Guokan," Garon said. "With Yi Jiuchuan dead and the ledger leaked, Abayir will surely experience some turmoil during this time. It won't be safe for you to stay here any longer; I suggest we arrange for your departure tonight."
Xin Yi replied to Garon, "Although we have obtained the ledger, I still want to do some things in Abayir first—like taking action against Limin Group so that Taiwan's drug economy suffers a blow. Of course, with Yi Jiuchuan dead and the ledger leaked, Abayir's security will be on high alert. So what I mean is that we should arrange for Roxy to take the ledger back to Guokan first while Topology and I stay behind in Abayir for now."
"No way! Why should I go back to Guokan?" As soon as Xin Yi finished speaking, Roxy loudly protested, "I won't go back to Guokan! Let Topology take the roster back first; I'm staying here with you in Abayir!"
"Stop messing around!" Xin Yi was a bit angry and said loudly, "You have already been seen by many people from the Mei Organization today. They will definitely send your picture to all departments and start hunting for you worldwide. It's very dangerous for you to stay here, do you understand?"
Roxy was startled by Xin Yi's voice. She never expected that after going through so much trouble to bring back such an important roster, Xin Yi would not only fail to praise her but also scold her with a stern face. In an instant, Roxy felt incredibly wronged; her eyes turned red and tears began to well up. She stamped her foot and said aggrievedly, "Why are you being so fierce? Did I do something wrong? Anyway, no matter what, I am not going back to Guokan! If you want to go back, you can go by yourselves!" After saying this, she turned around and slammed the door as she rushed to her room.
Watching Roxy storm out, Topology chuckled and said, "Brother Xin, you've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time. Look at how Roxy went through so much trouble to bring you this important thing. Not only did you not praise her, but you also scolded her like that. No wonder she's angry."
Xin Yi sighed and said, "I know how important this roster is, but Roxy is just a girl. If she recklessly goes on an adventure and something happens, how can I feel at ease? If I don't treat her this way this time, she'll definitely do it again next time. How can we allow such recklessness?"
Garon said, "Mr. Xin, why don't you go persuade Miss Roxy? If you can convince her to take the roster back to Guokan, I can make arrangements early. If you can't persuade her, I'll make other arrangements. I'll head back now; let me know once there's a result."
"Alright then, thank you for making the trip, Mr. Garon. I'll definitely inform you once there's a result," Xin Yi replied politely.
After Garon left, Xin Yi ordered a serving of Black Pepper Beef Strips to the room. He figured that after working hard all day, Roxy probably hadn't had time to eat. He planned to take the opportunity of delivering the food to persuade her to take the roster back to Guokan; staying here was indeed quite dangerous. Soon, the waiter delivered the Black Pepper Beef Strips to the room. Tianhao International Hotel could be considered the highest-end hotel in Taiwan and often hosted foreign guests, so they prepared various dishes quite authentically. As soon as he entered the room, the aroma of Black Pepper Beef Strips wafted in.
After rushing into her room, Roxy threw herself onto the bed. That stupid Xin Yi really couldn't understand her good intentions at all! She risked danger to help him retrieve such an important item, yet he showed no gratitude and scolded her fiercely instead—how infuriating! How wronged she felt! If she had known he would act like this, she shouldn't have taken the risk to help him or followed him to Taiwan in the first place. Perhaps she should have found an opportunity to eliminate him; if she had done that, she might be enjoying a beach vacation thousands of miles away instead of enduring this humiliation in such a sinful place.
But was that really the life she wanted? Ever since getting close to Xin Yi, Roxy had experienced many things she had never felt before. For instance, when they first met, she had made up her mind to seduce him; however, that silly yet somewhat charming man managed to resist her allure. Before that moment, Roxy had been quite confident in her appearance and figure; throughout her missions, she often used this natural advantage to achieve her goals. Although she had never suffered physically before, no man had ever resisted even a slight temptation from her. So from that moment on, she thought Xin Yi was either foolish or just strange.
Then there was their encounter on the train; that was also orchestrated by Roxy as a chance to get closer to Xin Yi. During that time, she saw how caring he was towards his fiancée—even towards a woman who had become insane—showing such meticulous care and unwavering support. Could such a man truly be a villain? Thus, she became more interested in Xin Yi.
Next came the conflict at Celebrity Western Restaurant; it was there that she first saw Xin Yi's masculine side—what fight wouldn't he engage in for his woman? In fact, that night during the battle at Nine Li Sandbar with Beng Hu Lian and Vulture, Roxy had been watching from the mountains with infrared binoculars. That night she truly witnessed Xin Yi's heroic demeanor along with his exceptional combat skills and organizational abilities; at that moment, she felt moved—wasn't this exactly the kind of heroic man she sought?
Later on when she received orders from the organization to frame Xin Yi, it caused her great distress. The night she deceived Xin Yi and Shen Shanshan into going to the hospital was particularly difficult for her; she drank quite a bit at a bar trying to numb herself. She also rejected orders from the organization telling her to leave Longchuan and applied for some time off instead. Even if Xin Yi were truly framed and imprisoned or sentenced to death, she wanted one last chance to see him again. So she returned to Shen Shanshan's home; however later on when Xin Yi cleared his name and Heavenly Pride Nation captured Smith-Tang and others in one sweep upon hearing this news made her feel unexpectedly happy inside—she thought perhaps now she'd finally freed herself from the organization's control and could live for herself.
But soon after that came another directive from the organization instructing her to continue lurking around Xin Yi until an appropriate opportunity arose. At that moment her feelings were mixed: sad because she ultimately couldn't escape the organization's control and would have to oppose Xin Yi; happy because she'd still be able to stay close by his side for now—seeing him frequently was also a form of happiness for her. So when Shu Rui decided that she would follow Xin Yi to Taiwan later on, she agreed without hesitation.
While Roxy lay on her bed lost in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang. She knew it must be Xin Yi again trying to persuade her to take the roster back to Guokan. She ignored it; if she went back now who knows how long it would be before they could be together again? Therefore she resolutely refused to return—even if he begged her again.
The doorbell rang for a while without any response from her until she heard Xin Yi's voice outside saying: "Roxy, I've brought you food—it's your favorite Black Pepper Beef Strips! Open the door."
Roxy still didn't move; thinking inwardly: "What food delivery? It's just an excuse! If I open the door and let him in he'll definitely say something about going back to Guokan again—I won't fall for it!"
Seeing that Roxy still had no response, Xin Yi's voice came through the door again: "Roxy, if you don't open the door, I'm coming in myself!"
