After Han Ruyu left, Yang Yan immediately took out his phone and sent the photo he secretly took of Han Ruyu to Blitz, instructing him to investigate her background as soon as possible.

Just after Yang Yan gave this task to Blitz, Wang Xue and the others arrived.

"Did you book the flight for this afternoon?"

Wang Xue asked Yang Yan.

"Yes! You all go back first, I still have some things to finish here and it will take me two days before I can return."

Yang Yan replied calmly.

"What is it? Do you need our help?"

Wang Xue slightly furrowed her eyebrows.

"No need! It's just a small matter that will take some time. You go back first! See you in Huaxia then."

Yang Yan directly refused.

"Alright! Got it. Thank you so much this time. When you return to Huaxia, I'll treat you to a meal, a big feast."

After speaking, Wang Xue turned and left.

She knew Yang Yan must have something important to handle.

Thinking of his extraordinary performance at the racetrack, Wang Xue realized that Yang Yan was definitely not an ordinary person.

If there was really something going on, staying here wouldn't help at all; instead, it would only burden him.

By afternoon, Wang Xue and the other girls had already left, leaving Yang Yan alone at the Bellagio.

There was still no reply from Blitz.

Bored, Yang Yan sat in the casino at the Bellagio, playing the slot machines endlessly.

"Waiter, give me another million in credits."

Yang Yan said listlessly.

With his mind preoccupied, he didn't know how much he had lost by now.

However, each time he lost, he would have the waiter add another million in credits.

This behavior drew the attention of everyone around him.

Yang Yan was playing big, and before long, he lost all his credits again.

Just as he was about to have the waiter add more credits, Blitz came over.

Seeing Blitz, Yang Yan perked up immediately.

"So, have you found out about what I asked you to investigate?"

Yang Yan asked eagerly.

"Not yet, but I've found out about that woman's whereabouts."

Blitz said solemnly.

"Let's go somewhere, tell me about it in detail."

Yang Yan said, standing up and heading straight out of the casino.

Seeing Yang Yan in such a rush, Blitz gave a wry smile.

He glanced at the bill and couldn't help but shake his head, then silently followed Yang Yan.

After arriving at Yang Yan's room, Blitz spoke first:

"That woman is the only child of the Han Family, who immigrated here five years ago. They were merchants doing sea trade in Huaxia."

"However, it's unclear why her family suddenly stopped business during its peak and moved here."

"Han Family?"

Yang Yan slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly pondering something.

"Yes! But I suspect her family might have some connections to the Western Hidden World."

Blitz said.

"Hidden World? What do you mean? Do you have any evidence?"

Yang Yan asked curiously.

"Not very clear on the specifics, and no evidence for now. However, the seventh Duke Herbert of the Blood Race has come to America, reportedly to marry his hundredth-and-something concubine."

"Coincidentally, the concubine's name is also Han Ruyu. I think she might be the girl you were with last night."

Blitz said, his expression calm, but his eyes clearly showing a hint of schadenfreude.

Despite noticing Blitz's attitude, Yang Yan didn't make a fuss and instead fell into deep thought.

How can there be such coincidental events in the world?

The person that old guy is marrying must be Han Ruyu.

Perhaps that's the main reason Han Ruyu sought a one-night stand.

"Go check it out! I need to know the specific time and if they are indeed the same person."

Yang Yan said coldly.

"Understood."

Blitz put away his smile and nodded seriously, then headed out immediately.

Blitz was unsure of what Yang Yan really thought about Han Ruyu, but seeing Yang Yan's demeanor, he seemed serious.

Now, all he could do was hope that the two were not the same person.

If they were, the Western Hidden World would be in for some excitement.

How dare anyone touch the Moonlight Emperor's woman?

If a major fight doesn't break out, that'd be strange.

After Blitz left, Yang Yan remained agitated.

He had never encountered anything like this.

He didn't know how to describe his current feelings.

If he had to say, his mind was filled with the image of Han Ruyu.

The events of last night were unclear to Han Ruyu, but not to him; he could remember them vividly if he wanted.

The scenes of last night's passion kept stirring him up, making it hard for him to calm his emotions.

"Damn it!"

Yang Yan cursed and, almost unconsciously, dialed Zhou Hanyun's number.

"Hello! Is this Yang Yan? When are you coming back?"

Zhou Hanyun's sweet voice came from the other end of the line.

The sound of Zhou Hanyun's voice instantly calmed Yang Yan down.

He held the phone and didn't speak for a long while, and hearing no response, Zhou Hanyun asked again:

"Yang Yan? Is that you, Yang Yan? What's wrong?"

"Mm! Yes, it's me."

Yang Yan replied.

Then, after some thought, he told Zhou Hanyun the exact events of the previous night.

After listening, Zhou Hanyun fell into a long silence.

"Hanyun, I'm sorry."

Yang Yan hesitated for a full ten seconds before softly saying.

"You're a man, and if you've done it, you must take responsibility. Bring her back and be careful."

After saying this, Zhou Hanyun hung up immediately.

After hearing Zhou Hanyun's words, Yang Yan felt much more at ease.

At least, he was now able to think calmly.

While contemplating Zhou Hanyun's words, Blitz called.

Blitz informed Yang Yan that Han Ruyu was indeed the same person.

Moreover, the wedding was scheduled for tonight, in Washington.

"Okay, thank you. Also, book a flight for tomorrow morning back to Huaxia, and include one for Han Ruyu."

After speaking, Yang Yan hung up the phone.

"Spread the word, I'm going to Washington now, and we're leaving immediately. Also, get me an invitation to Duke Herbert's banquet."

After Yang Yan hung up the phone, Blitz immediately instructed his men, without any hesitation.

At the same time, at a manor in the U.S. capital.

The place was bustling with noise, numerous well-dressed and handsome people moving around, preparing everything needed for the banquet.

"Ruyu, you've really disappointed me."

A middle-aged man with a square face looked at Han Ruyu with a grim expression, scolding her angrily.
