Dylan watched Brian enter the house, only looking away once Brian was out of sight. His dark eyes held a trace of longing.
As soon as Brian walked into

“Where did you go?” Audrey’s cool gaze fell on Brian.
“I went to see Scarlet and the others,” Brian quickly answered, fearing Audrey would be angry if she thought he had gone to see Dylan.
Audrey glanced at him and then stood up, saying, “Wash your hands and cat.”
Brian breathed a sigh of relief and obediently replied, “Okay.”
After dinner, Audrey went upstairs to the specially prepared laboratory.
The batch of equipment and research tools ordered from abroad had arrived. Audrey walked to the window and pulled the curtains closed, noticing a black car parked on the
roadside outside.
She gave it a cursory glance and pulled the curtains shut.
With the research equipment in the lab, conducting drug research became much easier.
Audrey put on sterile gloves and placed several blood samples into test tubes, starting her research.
In the car outside the Holland family, Dylan’s deep black eyes remained fixed on a room on the third floor with its lights on.
At that moment, Richard called.
“Mr. Dylan, we’ve found out who sent those photos and videos to Emely,” Richard said.
“Who was it?” Dylan’s cold, ruthless voice carried a murderous intent that even Richard could feel over the phone.
“It was Sarah. Also, I discovered that Sarah was involved in sending Audrey to the men’s prison,” Richard said.
“Sarah!” Dylan’s voice was icy and cruel.
“Where is she now?” Dylan asked.

“Sarah recently got a lead role in a movie through Winter Entertainment. Today, she has a dinner meeting with the director and investors,” Richard said.
Richard, being Dylan’s trusted aide, had already thoroughly investigated everything.
“Help me deal with a matter, Dylan said to Richard.
After hearing Dylan’s words, Ricard responded respectfully, “Yes, I’ll handle it now!”
Richard knew Sarah had thoroughly angered Dylan, prompting him to act decisively.
“Mr. Dylan, there’s something else that’s rather strange,” Richard said as he recalled the report he received earlier.
Richard said, “You asked me to keep an eye on the Hernandez Group and William. I found out that Neptune Investment has withdrawn its funding and pressured all banks not to lend to the Hernandez Group. Even their partners have started terminating their
contracts.”
“Neptune Investment?” Dylan frowned.
Yes.
it was personally ordered by Neptune Investment’s president, Mr. Roach,” Richard said.
“Investigate Mr. Roach!” Dylan needed to find out who was suddenly targeting the Hernandez Group.
If the other party posed no threat to Audrey, it would be fine. But if they posed any danger to her, Dylan certainly wouldn’t let them off easily.
After hanging up, Dylan glanced once more at the lit room on the third floor.
He frowned slightly and thought, ‘Why was she still awake so late?‘
Dylan remained there until early morning, only leaving when the light in the third- floor room finally went out.
Dylan withdrew his gaze and took out his phone. He glanced at the message he had sent to Audrey past one o’clock in the morning that read “rest early.” There was still no reply, and he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Audrey had left the lab and returned to her room just before dawn. After showering, she intended to draw the curtains. Through the window, she noticed the car still parked outside.
She gave it a cursory glance and lay down in bed.

Audrey hadn’t taken her phone with her to the lab, and it was only now that she saw a message from Dylan. She glanced at it, but pretended not to see it, turning off her phone and putting it aside. Then, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Dylan left Greencloud Mountain as dawn broke.
As he descended, a car suddenly d towards him.
Early in the morning at the foot of Greencloud Mountain, there were hardly any cars. The approaching car was moving too fast. Although Dylan had already sensed the danger and turned the steering wheel to avoid it, his car was still grazed by the vehicle behind.
Dylan furrowed his brows, a flash of cold light appearing in his deep, dark eyes as he glared at the car behind him.
The car quickly reversed, turned around, and once again charged at Dylan.
Dylan narrowed his eyes coldly and stepped on the gas pedal, causing his car to speed forward.
Greencloud Mountain was already remote, and the two cars engaged in a fierce battle on the desolate road, neither giving way to the other.
Dylan drove his car down a dead–end road and finally came to a stop.
As the car behind him rapidly approached, Dylan jumped out of his car, rolling twice on the ground before landing steadily.
A loud bang was heard, and the two cars collided, and the man in the car behind also
got out.
“Kieran?” Dylan’s cold, dark eyes focused on the man who stepped out of the car, his gaze narrowing, revealing a touch of cold ruthlessness.
The tall, young man approaching Dylan smirked. “Well, well, I didn’t expect anyone in Northville to recognize me!”
“Who sent you?” Dylan squinted, exuding an overwhelming aura, his deep eyes coldly fixating on Kieran.
“Outlaws follow their own rules!” Kieran sneered arrogantly at Dylan.
Very well, I hope you can maintain that attitude!” Dylan’s thin lips pressed into a tight line, his mind unreadable, and he emanated a dangerous and intimidating aura.

In the next second, Kieran’s eyes sharpened, and he lunged at Dylan.
Dylan, equally imposing, moved swiftly to counterattack.

However, despite this, Dylan’s powerful aura forced Kieran to remain cautious. every exchange, Kieran realized that Dylan’s combat skills were at least on par with his own, if not superior.
Indeed, it wasn’t long before Kieran let out a cry.
“Damn it, Dylan! Let me go! My pants are about to fall off!” Kieran shouted.
Kieran hadn’t expected Dylan to be so underhanded. Without a rope, Dylan had. directly used Kieran’s own belt to bind his hands.
Damn it! Besides that one time he encountered Drey, Kieran had never suffered such a defeat at anyone’s hands.
Quiet! You’re too noisy, Dylan said, tying a knot with the belt and casting a cold glance
at Kieran.
That single glance almost made Kieran kneel. He thought, ‘Damn, this man was terrifying, his aura overwhelmingly powerful!
“I admit defeat today, but you better watch out. One day, I’ll defeat you!” Kieran glared at Dylan with venom in his eyes. The dignity of being ranked first among assassins could not be challenged.
