In the afternoon, Joanne received a call from Brian, who said he would play ball with Gavin after work.

When he returned in the evening, he was indeed in sportswear, and there was still sweat on the hair on his forehead.

Brian had mysophobia. Joanne knew that the first thing he would do was take a bath when he got back. She went to the cloakroom to get him clothes. When she gave them to him, she asked, "What do you think of playing today?"

Brian remembered that when he arrived at the company this morning, he met Gavin at the door.

Gavin always looked casual on normal days and didn't care about anything. In fact, nothing could escape from his eyes.

As soon as he entered the elevator, he came over. "You've been having some tough days, haven't you? Seeing what you look like, it's typical dissatisfaction!"

"..."

If the elevator door wasn't closed, Brian might have kicked Gavin a few kilometers away so that he could eat a mouthful of mud.

Gavin turned a blind eye to Brian's gloomy face, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. "In the evening, I asked someone to play at the clubhouse on top of the mountain. You should also come and use up some energy. After all... the days are long."

The implication was that he still had a lot to suffer!

After work, Brian did go.

He didn't know if Gavin had intentionally called the professional tennis players of the city team to come and play with them. They couldn't handle them easily and exhausted almost all their physical strength.

Joanne rarely saw Brian be distracted, so she poked his arm. "What are you thinking? So you didn't just simply play, right?"

"Gavin called over the professional players of the city team. What else could I do besides play?" Brian took the clothes and glanced at Joanne. "But I really just wanted to use up some energy."

"..."

As the sound of water came from the room, Joanne stood outside the door, thinking about the ambiguous look of Brian and what he said,"I really just wanted to use up some energy..."

Thinking about what happened last night, it was not difficult to understand what Brian meant.

Joanne's face became red instantly.

The next day would be the weekend, and Joanne was going to do a second routine checkup.

Brian got up early in the morning and was very excited. It didn't look like he had used up a lot of energy yesterday. As Joanne was being slow, he gently urged her to hurry up.

Joanne finally couldn't help wondering. "I'm just going to be examined, not to see the doctor. Why are you anxious?"

Brian became serious. "I want to see if my daughter has grown up."

Joanne,"..."

Today, the temperature was a bit low. Joanne wore enough to keep warm before going out. She found that in addition to the car that Winston drove, there were four others.

If she hadn't guessed wrong, the so-called bodyguards were in the four cars.

"Why take so many people?" Joanne herself had been scared by it, not to mention others.

Brian said briefly, "For safety."

Joanne could not refute, and upon getting in the car, the five cars started almost at the same time, then headed for the private hospital.

The examinations had been arranged in advance, but before each examination, the people brought by Brian would go in to confirm if the environment was safe, and the examining doctors also had to be confirmed to be those from the hospital, even the director.

They had probably never seen such a scene, so the nurses in the hospital were all curious. Joanne felt unnatural when she was looked at, and she walked carefully next to Brian to try to reduce her sense of existence.

After everything was confirmed to be OK, Joanne went in and started the checkup.

The door of the examination room slowly closed, and the dean made a "please" gesture to the Brian. "The examination will take some time. Mr. Brian, will you go to the lounge first?"

The dean personally led Brian there.

When passing by the fire escape, Brian seemed to be aware of something. He paused suddenly and covered his body with a chill.

The director turned back in doubt. "Mr. Brian, what's wrong?"

Brian said, "You go on ahead, I have something to deal with."

The dean could not ask more, so he nodded and said, "Okay. If you need anything, you can have someone go to my office to find me."

When the dean entered the elevator, Brian pushed open the door of the firefighting access, and he said with a cold voice, "Rowdy, do you really need to sneak up now?"

Rowdy's figure appeared from behind the door. He held a cigarette in his hand and looked at Brian meaningfully. "The professional bodyguards you brought didn't find me, but you found me first. Brian, if you said that you have only been dealing with Lambert Group all these years, I really wouldn't believe it."

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me." Brian looked at Rowdy coldly. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to test you." Rowdy took a puff of the cigarette, his smile even colder than the grey smoke. "You did not let me down."

Brian's deep eyes revealed a murderous coldness. "I know what you are working on, and you cannot get the chance."

Over the past 10 years, he had been keeping his eye on Rowdy, and he was very clear about his means. He could not force Joanne to divorce him, so in order to make him suffer, he would completely destroy Joanne.

That was why he was careful everywhere. Otherwise, if he missed it and let Joanne fall into the hands of Rowdy, he could not imagine the consequences.

"I have no chance? Are you sure you are not overestimating yourself?" Rowdy took two steps toward Brian. "I know where your confidence comes from. You and Wesley and the assistant who have been working secretly for you... I'll get rid of all of you together. But you can rest assured that when Joanne falls into my hands, I won't let you see her. Instead, I will let you watch and keep you watching how I torture her."

Brian was almost certain that Rowdy did not know that Joanne had found Tory.

He twitched his lips slightly, his smile filled with teasing. "Rowdy, you have been in the Golden Triangle for so many years, you didn't build some skills, but you are more and better at dreaming."

"..."

"If you're sure you can beat eight people, then stay here."

After speaking, Brian turned around and there were three guards at the entrance of the examination room, and the other five were scattered elsewhere.

They saw Brian returning and looked at each other. The captain asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Rowdy is in the firefighters' access."

As soon as Brian's finished, someone was about to rush over. Brian stopped him and said, "He's gone."

Brian took them in case they would run into Rowdy, but Rowdy was in the firefighters' passageway, less than 20 meters away, but they did not find him.

Although Brian was not angry, both the captain and the team members knew that if there was such a low-level omission next time, they would never have to appear in front of Brian.

"I will ask them to be more vigilant," the captain said.

Brian didn't say anything. Rowdy was apparently alone, which meant that he had no intention of doing something today, so it didn't matter if they were vigilant or not.

Five minutes later, Joanne came out of the examination room and saw the three bodyguards outside the door looking serious, then she looked at Brian again, who appeared normal.

The nurse instructed Joanne to go forward. "Mrs. Lambert, let's go to the 6th floor, where the remaining examination tasks are."

The doctor and nurse walked ahead, and the captain took the other two to confirm if the environment was safe. Joanne and Brian walked slowly and were some distance from the people ahead.

Joanne had always been careful and thoughtful, but still felt that the atmosphere outside was abnormal when she came out, so she asked Brian, "What happened just now?"

"It's normal." In order not to arouse Joanne's anxiety, Brian decided to deceive her. Then he asked casually, "Why do you suddenly ask that?"

Joanne pointed to the bodyguard who was walking in front. "When I came out just now, they looked so serious."

Brian said calmly, "Seriousness is the professionalism of a bodyguard."

"..." Joanne could not refute that.

The two men went up to the 6th floor without delay. The captain said that the environment was safe. Brian went in to confirm it, and then left Joanne there.

After coming out, Brian directly called Wesley.

Rowdy dared to say that he would get rid of Wesley in front of him not because he was confident in himself, but in the undercover agent that he had sent to Wesley.

Rowdy dared to tell Joanne about the undercover agent, which showed that Rowdy was not afraid of them knowing it. But he just told Joanne, maybe because this undercover agent had a relationship with Joanne. Looking at Joanne being confused and helpless, just as Joanne said, Rowdy would get a pathological satisfaction.

The call was quickly connected, and Wesley's light voice came to him. "It's not easy to have a weekend, shouldn't you be with your wife? Why do you call me?"

"You said that there was an undercover agent suspect. Are you sure?"

Wesley was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes."

"Who is it?"

This time, Wesley did not speak for a long time.

Brian was more affirmed about his conjecture in his heart, and slowly said the name, "Yuna?"

Wesley seemed to be relieved. "I'm afraid Joanne can't accept it, so I didn't tell you."

If Joanne knew this, it would really be unacceptable to her.

Because of Grandma Xu, Joanne had always regarded Yuna as a friend, and also worried that the undercover agent sent by Rowdy would hurt Yuna.

But in the end, Yuna was the undercover agent, and she had personally sent Yuna to Wesley.

"Were those materials found by Yuna and handed over to Rowdy?" Brian's voice had revealed a deep chill.

"Yes," Wesley said, "if it weren't for me finding out that Yuna was searching for these materials, I would never have suspected her."

"What are you going to do with her?"

"I..."

Wesley stopped talking. Brian had known him for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen him like this.

Brian had realized something, but did not want to expose it, so he only said, "Whatever you want to do with Yuna, remember that you can't hurt her grandmother."

Yuna's grandmother was a very important person to Joanne and Chris. Brian believed that Wesley would not be so angry as to blame an old woman, but it was about Joanne, so he had to remind him of that.

Wesley seemed to laugh bitterly. "Even if Yuna is the undercover agent, I will not be so mad that I will attack the elderly in her family."

"Also," Brian said, "if you can, help me hide it from Joanne forever."

Joanne knew that the world was full of sinister people who violated the law and did wrong, but she always believed that the people around her were kind.

The fact that Yuna was an undercover agent of Rowdy would not only destroy her trust in the people around her, but also directly hurt her.

Brian did not want Joanne to suffer such injuries.
