Chapter 255: 255 I really love this powerful couple! Chapter 255: 255 I really love this powerful couple! When Shuangshi was truly established, the Shi Family began to crumble, and all kinds of demons and ghosts started to emerge.

Yan always cultivated his own power, but this could also easily be controlled by his enemies. So, if it was nurtured in her hands, it wouldn’t be detected by anyone.

It was because she had been through the darkness that she didn’t want Yan Shixiu to go through it again.

The reason she hadn’t immediately refused Yan Shixiu’s supplementary card was that she had looked at the internal data of Yan’s company on the previous two occasions.

Her startup was mostly in tertiary industries, which is to say, the service sector. But Yan Shixiu was in manufacturing, which could easily suffer from material restrictions. Shi Lan could tell that he was trying his best to compensate for this shortcoming. However, the establishment of Shuangshi meant he couldn’t expand quickly for the time being, and he might suffer losses due to restrictions in the future.

Shi Lan didn’t want to go back to the old ways, she didn’t want to exhaust her mind with sneaky tactics to make money every day. But when the time was ripe, she would become the strongest support for Uncle Yan.

In fact, from the moment Shi Lan mentioned “watching my back,” Huo Zhao knew that Shi Lan understood the true meaning of a bodyguard. So a fire was kindled in his heart, and he answered Shi Lan, “I’ll contact my friend to inquire; he is just as reliable. But I can’t leave because Yan instructed me to stay in Yancheng temporarily.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Lan nodded: “Just give me the results I want.”

Due to the fallout with the Qu brothers, Yan was worried about Shi Lan’s safety.

At least with Huo Zhao in Yancheng, he would feel more at ease.

Actually, both were concerned about each other’s safety, both hoping the other wouldn’t face any danger.

“My goodness, why do I still get a mouthful of dog food even though Yan isn’t here?” Sun Ling screamed after hearing their conversation, “Big shot, are you and Yan protecting each other? Ahhh! I’m really into this power couple dynamic!”

Shi Lan couldn’t help but push Sun Ling’s head and asked, “Dr. Sun, there are forty minutes until the shooting this afternoon, but my lunch?”

Sun Ling reacted and hurriedly said, “I’m on it, I’ll go get it now.”

“Well then, big shot, let’s leave it at that for now, Huo Zhao and I will leave first,” Tang Ze stood up from the sofa.

“I will call you later with the specific plan. Keep an eye on one particular celebrity, especially Kong Lin.”

Tang Ze wanted to ask the big shot why he should watch Kong Lin, but then he decided to mull it over himself, to avoid feeling unintelligent all the time.

Actually, it wasn’t complicated. Shi Lan had pierced through the connection between Kong Lin and Qu Chong, which would certainly cause Kong Lin to panic.

After all, to those brothers and Kong Lin, Shi Lan now was like a ticking time bomb, ready to self-destruct with them at any moment.

So, Kong Lin was afraid Shi Lan would involve her in her revenge.

…

After Huo Zhao and Tang Ze left, Sun Ling brought back the food.

Shi Lan sped up her eating to prepare for the afternoon’s shooting. Sun Ling suddenly asked her, “Big shot, if you and Yan got serious in a fight, who do you think would win?”

Shi Lan glanced at her, then chuckled, “What do you think? Who is madly in love with me? Do you think I would lose?”

“Then I think you have very deep feelings for Yan too. Maybe you’re the one who’d concede? Think about it, how many times have you surrendered to Yan? It’s lucky you two aren’t opponents… However, I think even if you were, there would still be sentiments of pity born from love and conflict. After all, it’s very lonely at the top…”
