Reaching the top floor.
Hoshino Kannon grabbed Gu Chenan's hand and came to Fang Yuanyuan's room door.
"Help, help, help me, where's the assist, help me!"
"Damn it! I'm dead again!"
A painful wail accompanied by thumping sounds on the table came from inside the room.
Hoshino Kannon stuck her tongue out at Gu Chenan, then knocked on the door.
Bang bang bang~
"Who's there?" An unwilling voice tinged with anger came from the room.
"It's me, Hoshino Kannon," Hoshino Kannon said.
A minute later, the door opened.
A loli with twin-tails, dark circles under her eyes, and a height of less than 1.6 meters appeared before them.
"Boss," Hoshino Kannon respectfully introduced with a slight bow, "This is the person I brought, Gu Chenan."
Fang Yuanyuan gave Gu Chenan a glance and said, "Oh, I see."
"Hello, Fang Jie," Gu Chenan greeted with confident ease, raising his hand.
Fang Jie?
Hoshino Kannon froze, turning her head to look at Gu Chenan in disbelief.
Was he mistaken? Although she didn't know Fang Yuanyuan's age, she looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, yet he directly called her "Jie" (older sister)?
Didn't he know calling a girl "old" could cause her significant psychological harm?
However, the one being called Fang Jie, Fang Yuanyuan, raised her eyebrows, a hint of delight in her eyes.
"You... what did you call me?" Fang Yuanyuan asked.
Hoshino Kannon thought she was right and quickly elbowed Gu Chenan, smiling apologetically as she explained, "Big Boss, it's not like that, he didn't..."
"I called you Fang Jie," Gu Chenan interrupted before Hoshino Kannon could finish.
Hoshino Kannon froze, her neck stiffening as she turned her head.
The air around seemed to solidify.
Yet, Fang Yuanyuan laughed heartily, ecstatically saying, "Say it again."
Gu Chenan smiled, "Fang Jie."
"Good, good, good," Fang Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly in delight, opening the door wider, "If there's anything, come in and say it."
Hoshino Kannon was utterly stunned.
What the hell?
Gu Chenan called the Big Boss "Jie," and the Big Boss let us in?
As if in a dream, Hoshino Kannon was still in a dazed state when Fang Yuanyuan grabbed her arm and pulled her inside.
Bang, the door closed.
The "dire state" of the room left Hoshino Kannon and Gu Chenan stunned.
The computer desk was cluttered with colorful instant noodle cups and takeout boxes; aside from the mouse pad and keyboard, the entire desk could be described as a small garbage mountain.
Various drink bottles were haphazardly piled on the floor, the smell of "otaku's happiness water" permeating the room.
Seeing this scene, Hoshino Kannon felt uncomfortable all over, as if she would become dirty just by staying in this room for a second.
Yet, Gu Chenan remained remarkably calm.
It wasn't that Gu Chenan had a strong psychological capacity; he had already mentally prepared himself upon entering the room.
In the original storyline, Fang Yuanyuan's room was like this.
Moreover, Gu Chenan's "Fang Jie" was not said casually.
Earlier, Gu Chenan mentioned Fang Yuanyuan's weakness, and this "Fang Jie" was one of them.
In fact, Fang Yuanyuan was at least twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but her loli appearance made people mistake her age.
Even if Fang Yuanyuan met someone younger than her, they wouldn't call her "Fang Jie."
In the organization, people called her Big Boss, which was fine.
Outside, the most common address she heard was "little sister."
Although she didn't say it outright, she desperately craved for someone to call her "Jie."
As for this somewhat bizarre setting, it must have been the author's way to enable Lin Yu to quickly gain Fang Yuanyuan's trust.
In the original storyline, it was through Lin Yu calling her "Fang Jie" repeatedly that Fang Yuanyuan lost herself.
Not only did she bring him into the organization, but with Fang Yuanyuan's support, Lin Yu became the leader of Black Owl.
Eventually, Lin Yu also transformed Black Owl into Dragon King Hall, completely under his control.
That's why Gu Chenan was so confident in coming to Black Owl.
He had seen the original storyline, so he knew everything about the characters described in it.
He even knew the little secrets of many people in Black Owl.
And Fang Yuanyuan's weakness was not just this one.
There was another weakness that Gu Chenan didn't plan to use yet.
Swoosh~
Fang Yuanyuan casually pushed the trash from the tea table onto the floor, then put her hands on her hips, "Sit wherever, don't be polite."
Hoshino Kannon and Gu Chenan frowned and sat down on chairs.
"Big Boss, there's something I'm a bit confused about," Hoshino Kannon said.
Fang Yuanyuan pulled over a gaming chair and sat across from them.
"What is it?"
"It's about Lin Yu," Hoshino Kannon said.
Fang Yuanyuan smiled, "You don't need to worry about that matter. I've basically decided for him to take over Gong Fei's position. As long as he goes through the procedures, he'll be one of The Twelve Owls."
"Oh, right, I've already sent Old Liu, Old Wu, and Sister Liu to Suhang to eliminate the Li Family. I believe we'll receive the news in a few days."
The Li Family...
Hearing this, Gu Chenan's lips curved slightly upward.
Sorry, Li Rufeng, since you're so aggressive and even threatened me with the Li Family, I can only let the entire Li Family accompany you in death.
However, Hoshino Kannon didn't pay much attention to the Li Family matter. Her entire focus was on Lin Yu becoming one of The Twelve Owls.
Upon hearing Fang Yuanyuan say that Lin Yu only needed to go through the motions to become one of The Twelve Owls, she immediately panicked.
"No, Big Boss, I'm not asking how long it will take for Lin Yu to become one of The Twelve Owls," Hoshino Kannon waved her hands hurriedly.
"Then what did you want to ask?" Fang Yuanyuan crossed her legs on the gaming chair, looking ready to listen attentively.
Hoshino Kannon pondered for a moment before saying, "Can you... not let Lin Yu take over Gong Fei's position?"
"Ah? Why not?" Fang Yuanyuan seemed a bit surprised but not overly shocked.
Hoshino Kannon glanced at Gu Chenan and said, "I think Gu Chenan is more suitable to become one of The Twelve Owls."
Fang Yuanyuan looked at Gu Chenan, then at Hoshino Kannon, a hint of fleeting doubt in her eyes, but it quickly turned to amusement.
Oh~
This was an urban romantic drama about a woman trying to prevent her ex-boyfriend from gaining a position for the sake of her current boyfriend!
Wow, how juicy.
"Kannon, I've already issued the appointment orders, and Wan Ke has also notified everyone else. It's not appropriate to change it now, is it?" Fang Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows. "Besides, wasn't Lin Yu recommended to the organization by you? And this Gu Chenan even obstructed Lin Yu from completing the organization's mission before."
"But... but..." Hoshino Kannon wanted to say more, but Gu Chenan pulled her back.
Gu Chenan came today to call Fang Yuanyuan "Jie," but that alone wouldn't make Fang Yuanyuan change her decision to appoint Lin Yu.
So, the next steps would depend on himself.
"That incident with Lin Yu was a misunderstanding, Fang Jie. Although I don't get along with Lin Yu, I never intended to obstruct the organization's mission," Gu Chenan quickly explained.
Fang Yuanyuan waved her hand, "I know, I know. If you really intended to obstruct the organization's mission, you wouldn't dare to come here so boldly."
"Alright, that's enough about this matter. It's about time, you two go to the meeting room now."
Fang Yuanyuan stood up, dismissing them.
"Okay, Fang Jie," Gu Chenan said as he pulled Hoshino Kannon by the wrist, leading her out.
