"Hello..."
"Hello, Siyan..."
"Hmm? Xiaofan? What are you doing? It's so early."
On the other side of the phone, Liu Siyan's confused voice ca through. From her words, it was clear she hadn't woken up yet.
"Where's ng Ying? Is she with you?"
"ng Ying? Yes, she's here. Are you looking for her? She's still asleep. We talked late into the night yesterday."
"Alright, rest a bit more. Then you both pack up and go stay at Ren Ling's place."
"What? Ren Ling? What's going on?"
"I can't explain much now. I'll call Ling'er now. If it's convenient, she'll pick you up."
"Xiaofan..."
"Ah, no ti to explain more. Just do as I say first."
"Okay, be careful..."
As the call ended, Liu Siyan's heart sank. Xiaofan wouldn't call without a reason, especially not early in the morning to ask them to go to Ren Ling's house. And taking ng Ying along ant it must be related to sothing serious.
But thinking too much now doesn't help. First, follow his instructions, and when he returns, the truth will co out. It was agreed that no matter what happens in the future, Xiaofan wouldn't hide things from her anymore.
It's different from the past carefree days. Xiaofan's attachnts are no longer about just Shen Zuimo. Liu Siyan receiving the call shows she is still safe, but why hasn't the person on the other side acted against Liu Siyan even though they've used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain?
It's hard to guess. This ti, Xiaofan really can't figure out what the other party wants.
"San, did you call Li Kuo?" After notifying Ren Ling, Xiaofan turned to Li San beside him.
"Hmm? Ah?" Lin San was intensely staring at his phone and didn't respond imdiately: "Oh, I did. Li Kuo said Big Guy is already on his way to pick his family."
"Okay." Li San's expression seed strange, but Xiaofan didn't notice.
Kidnapping, murder, and driving around all night—what are these guys planning?
Chen i'Er has been successfully returned ho. The brothers who stayed up all night imdiately cheered. In-laws are just in-laws; as long as he takes action, there will definitely be no mishaps.
Hearing these words made Xiaofan feel quite ashad.
He barely did anything last night—just tracked down their car to find i'Er. If he were as legendary as the brothers said, then so many brothers wouldn't have died on the Chen family's side last night.
"Xiaofan..."
"Uncle Chen, you're awake. How's your injury?"
By this ti, Chen Baicheng was also awake and seeing his daughter safe and sound back ho, he rushed to greet them.
"I'm fine, i'Er..."
"She's just unconscious. I'll take her to her room first..."
"Okay, good."
Xiaofan carried Chen i'Er back to her room to lie down, gently removing the silver needle from the back of her head. After resting a while, she should be fine.
This was done just so she wouldn't feel pain from the blows when she woke up.
Leaving the room, Xiaofan knew Chen Baicheng was waiting for him, so he sat down without saying much.
"Xiaofan, this ti you've worked hard for us again."
"Uncle Chen, for this incident, I think I owe you an apology."
"Hmm? Why do you say that..."
"You've seen these people's skills yourself. Their purpose in kidnapping i'Er was actually about . I don't know the full details yet. But what happened last night—our dead brothers, your injury, i'Er's kidnapping—it's all because of ."
Xiaofan spoke earnestly, having anticipated these things might happen. He thought he hid well, but now he could see that if the opponent earnestly wanted to target him, it was quite an undefendable situation.
"Xiaofan, what's this all about? Does it have to do with your special identity?" Chen Baicheng asked, puzzled.
"More or less. Maybe i'Er ntioned a bit to you before. I repeatedly rejected i'Er in front of you, purely because of the danger around . Rember the first ti i'Er was kidnapped? That group was destroyed, but this current group, they might be even more cunning."
"What, what? Alright, I finally understand why back then you wouldn't give even a little face. Our Chen family reached out to you, but you wouldn't help. This wasn't because you looked down on ..."
"Of course not..." Xiaofan quickly replied, "Uncle Chen, you are upright, treating the brothers as if they're your family. Honestly, I truly admire you. Ah..."
"You really are a dragon among n. Go, you surely have other things to attend to." Chen Baicheng sighed, finally understanding his daughter's feelings back then. With his experience, even though he dared to provoke the Long Family of the Four Great Families, he underestimated Xiaofan's matters. But now, hearing this directly from Xiaofan and witnessing the terrifying abilities of the people around Xiaofan, he had no more doubts.
"Brother Cheng, there are four people outside. They say they're friends of the in-law, from the Ren Family." At this mont, Gui received a call from the brothers at the door and relayed the ssage.
"Oh, I invited them. Once i'Er wakes up, have two people take her to stay at the Ren family for a while. It'll be safer there, and the other two should stay to protect Uncle Chen."
"The Ren Family? You have connections with the Ren Family too?"
"Ren Ling, you've t her. It's hard to explain quickly. Anyway, the Ren family has many adept fighters; i'Er's safety won't be an issue there. Plus, your safety."
Indeed, gathering everyone at the Ren Family for protection is a clear choice for Xiaofan. After all, the martial arts cultivation of the Ren family is much stronger than others, especially Big Guy's group. Xiaofan had suffered a secret setback under Big Guy when he first arrived in Capital City. No matter how formidable the opponent is, it's unlikely they'll breach the Ren Family's defenses quickly.
"Alright, as long as you've thought it through. My safety isn't important. If they dare to co again, I'll just shoot them."
"Hey, Uncle Chen, it's better to have two people by your side. The enemy strikes fast—so fast you might not even have ti to draw your gun. If two people help delay it, then shooting them will be perfect."
"Hmm, you make a good point. I'll listen to you. So what about you? What are you planning next?"
After hearing Chen Baicheng's question, Xiaofan did not imdiately reply. He had no specific plans yet. However, he intended to notify Yanhuang Soul first, and then ask Grandpa Fan to send people to investigate slowly.
