Thankfully, Qiuqiu had woken up.
"Hello, Qiuqiu? Can you hear ?"
"I’m here."
But the voice that answered was a deep, masculine one, and ii froze.
"You don’t need the ambulance. Wait at the gate for a mont. I’ll have soone escort you in."
Then, Mo Si ended the call.
He looked at Mrs. Ai’er. "The young lady’s friends want to co see her. Mrs. Ai’er, would you mind having a couple more guests?"
"By all ans! I’m just an old lady, and I love a bit of excitent."
Mo Si then logged into his terminal and sent a ssage to the gate guard.

Outside Starry Sky Wander, Little President Qian saw ii end the call and asked, "Did you get through?"
"I got through, but Qiuqiu didn’t pick up. I think it was that man from the livestream..." ii’s brow furrowed. "He also told us not to bring an ambulance! How can that be right?"
As they were talking, the guardhouse received Mo Si’s call. The main gate opened at once, and soone was sent out to lead the way.
"The ambulance really can’t co in?" ii asked, not ready to give up.
The guide, a retired soldier, shook his head. "It’d be no use even if it did."
"...But—" Little President Qian suddenly grabbed ii’s arm and shook his head, signaling for her to keep quiet.
Before entering, Little President Qian had assud this was just a luxury residential complex. But when the guard ca out to escort them, he realized sothing was off.
His family was in real estate, and while Qian Xingxing’s own spiritual power level wasn’t exceptionally high, it was still B . His sensitivity to spiritual power was quite acute.
This guard’s spiritual power level was higher than his.
An A-level guard—
And he was ard.
This was clearly no ordinary place.
He thought back to the surrounding area he’d seen on the way here. Suddenly, it struck him as... very strange that the company’s livestream relay station could be built so close to this place.
They soon arrived at Mrs. Ai’er’s house. The guard opened the gate for them, and the mont ii and Qian Xingxing stepped into the small courtyard, their eyes t Mrs. Ai’er’s.
Mrs. Ai’er greeted the two youngsters.
ii instinctively raised her hand to wave, but as Qian Xingxing looked at the woman’s face—
"Mrs. Ai’er!" he suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Oh, it seems so youngsters still rember this old face of mine."
"You live here?!"
Mrs. Ai’er blinked. "Of course. Aren’t you here to see your friend? The young lady is in the inner room."
"We’ll go right away."
Inside, walking down a long hallway, Qian Xingxing said excitedly, "Now I get why the guard said an ambulance was totally unnecessary!"
ii felt like she was in a dream, too. "It’s... it’s really Mrs. Ai’er?"
"Yeah."
At the end of the hallway was the inner room, its door slightly ajar. ii knocked, and Mo Si opened it from the inside.
"You’re here to see her?"
The man’s presence was overwhelming. In the hovercar, ii had been boasting about teaching a lesson to the man who had casually carried Qiuqiu off, but the mont she saw him in the flesh—
She chickened out instantly.
anwhile, Qian Xingxing’s pupils dilated as he stared at the man’s face. A shock even greater than before washed over him.
He had seen this face once before, when he was a teenager.
’A mber of the Mo Family?’
"Are you just going to stand in the doorway? Not coming in?"
The two of them entered, and Mo Si stepped out, pulling the door almost shut. Just then, the guard ca jogging over.
He gave Mo Si a military salute.
Mo Si waved him off and imdiately asked about what had happened that afternoon.
The guard paused for a mont to gather his thoughts, then recounted what he had seen that day.
Before the guard could even finish, Mo Si’s expression grew darker and darker. By the end, his features were set in a mask of cold fury. "Did she have any idea who it was?"
"Jiang Tianming, from the Jiang Family. He’s... Major Tianqi’s younger brother."
