The reason, of course, is the same as before—without evidence, even Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad couldn't act recklessly. Hua Lao also understood Xiao Yifei's predicament and had no choice but to release Ren Tianye. "Sigh, how could there be such a person?" Hua Lao sighed as he watched Ren Tianye leave.

Hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook her head helplessly. If she had known earlier that Ren Tianye was so shameless, she might have given up the idea of demanding the return of the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle from him, sparing herself from so much trouble.

Ren Tianye, leaving Hua Mansion, heaved a deep sigh. According to the previous intel, Qianxi was supposed to reside here, but that intel was from years ago. It seemed that Qianxi no longer lived at Hua Mansion.

At this moment, Qianxi had completely recovered the energy and True Qi she expended in the fight with Razor. It had only been a single night, yet Qianxi fully regained her strength, showcasing the unfathomable depth of her abilities.

Fortunately, Xiao Yifei had assisted her yesterday; otherwise, who knows what might have happened to Qianxi. Thinking of this, her earlier anger towards Xiao Yifei dissolved entirely. Looking back, Xiao Yifei's actions seemed right; given her weakness at the time, it would have been troublesome if Ren Tianye had held back.

With clarity, Qianxi felt a tinge of guilt towards Xiao Yifei because she hadn't been kind to him yesterday. Now realizing her mistake, she thought, "It's just a pity it benefited that Ren Tianye." Sitting on the bed, Qianxi propped her chin with one hand, muttering to herself in melancholy.

Just then, Liu Rui entered from outside, seeing Qianxi in such a state, he chuckled fondly, saying, "Come have breakfast." As he spoke, he winked at Qianxi. To a girl, having her love interest behave this way towards her was the epitome of bliss.

And Qianxi was no exception; her previously clouded face now brimmed with a smile as she quickly dashed off the bed, following Liu Rui to breakfast.

Inside the central tower, Ren Tianye suddenly slapped his forehead. He was returning from Hua Mansion, frustrated from not finding Qianxi, but suddenly, a realization struck him. Didn't he previously send his assistant to Qianxi's house? Why did he need to look at the files?

Thinking of this, Ren Tianye felt incredibly foolish and immediately called over his assistant to inquire about Qianxi's address. Naturally, the assistant divulged everything to Ren Tianye, and upon learning Qianxi's location, he couldn't hide his excitement.

However, as Ren Tianye was about to leave, he hesitated, recalling a matter he had previously entrusted to his assistant—an issue concerning the organization. Since the last incident, Ren Tianye had been trying to find ways to break free from them but found it impossible.

Thus, Ren Tianye tasked his assistant with some investigation. As they say, "know yourself and know your enemy, and you won't be defeated in a hundred battles." However, the assistant hadn't uncovered anything useful, leaving Ren Tianye rather deflated. At this moment, the assistant spoke up, "Boss, have you been thinking about women lately?"

This hit the mark, and Ren Tianye was taken aback. How could his assistant understand his thoughts so clearly? Seeing his boss's surprised expression, the assistant found it amusing. Ren Tianye's affection for Qianxi was practically spilling over; he couldn't stop talking about her.

So it wasn't surprising the assistant could guess. Hearing this, Ren Tianye sighed deeply without replying, but the answer was clear. Indeed, Ren Tianye was thinking about a woman, and she was no ordinary woman.

Realizing this, the assistant understood immediately and pressed further, "Which stunning beauty has bewitched our boss like this?" Sitting in his chair, Ren Tianye absentmindedly stroked his chin, "Yes, she's indeed a stunning beauty."

Hearing Ren Tianye describe her as a beauty, the assistant's eyes seemed to light up. Suddenly, they were chatting like brothers, but the topic was mostly about Qianxi. However, this brotherly conversation was short-lived, broken by the assistant's remark.

"Boss, I'm not trying to discourage you, but there's the organization's rules..." the assistant cautiously mentioned. Clearly, the rules weighed heavily on Ren Tianye. Upon hearing them, it seemed he remembered something, and his expression turned grim. Ren Tianye had been loyal to the organization for a long time, so he was well aware of its rules.

The rule was that his subordinates weren't allowed to date. Such a ridiculous rule, and Ren Tianye didn't understand its origin, but since it was a rule, he had to follow it. So thinking of this, Ren Tianye couldn't help feeling more frustrated. With the organization forbidding relationships, wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Yes, I know." Ren Tianye sighed deeply, nodding slowly. The assistant beside him didn't know how to comfort him. When a man begins thinking about a woman, no amount of persuasion from others will get through, so the assistant stayed silent. Matters like this required the individual to sort out themselves.

"Boss, who exactly is this Qianxi? If I'm not mistaken, you had me investigate him before." The assistant suddenly remembered the familiar name, Qianxi, wasn't she the person Ren Tianye had him look into? Yet at the underground club, the boss seemed at odds with that woman, which left the assistant baffled.

With these words, Ren Tianye burst into laughter as Qianxi's image flashed in his mind. Just thinking about her made him happy, which revealed how deeply smitten he was. "She's pretty, but her personality isn't great," Ren Tianye remarked thoughtfully.

This description left the already confused assistant even more bewildered. Such a woman ought to be quite ordinary, right? Seeing the assistant's puzzlement, Ren Tianye shook his head with a smile, "Clearly, you don't understand. Her allure isn't just about that."

Ren Tianye claimed the assistant didn't understand, leaving him feeling both amused and exasperated. As the saying goes, "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." What the assistant couldn't grasp, perhaps, appeared precious to Ren Tianye. "What do you plan to do?" the assistant inquired.

Hearing this, Ren Tianye shook his head helplessly. The organization wouldn't allow him to date, but he couldn't suppress his own urges, which was immensely frustrating. "Sigh, I'll handle it myself," Ren Tianye waved his hand, signaling his assistant to leave his office.

Seeing this, the assistant nodded. Since the boss had asked him to leave, he couldn't possibly stay, right? He quickly turned and left. With Ren Tianye alone in the office, the room seemed a bit cold and quiet. He didn't even concern himself with whether the assistant closed the door. His mind was preoccupied with trying to pursue Qianxi without incurring the organization's wrath.
