Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After successfully shaking off the two cars tailing her, Nan Yan turned on her laptop. She quickly accessed the surveillance cameras along the highway to check the whereabouts of the two cars.

A few minutes later, she found the location of the two cars.

To her surprise, they were headed towards Sun Chan’s residence!

Who were these people?

Could they be from her sect? Or perhaps from the Divine Physician Sect?

Since she had no prior contact with them, Nan Yan was temporarily unsure of their intentions. She needed to clarify all of this before proceeding.

But protecting Sun Chan and the people in the courtyard was currently the top priority.

In the imperial capital, Nan Yan had no one to rely on except for Qin Lu.

She picked up her phone and dialed Qin Lu’s number.

“Brother, lend me a few people.”

“Hmm?” Qin Lu was momentarily taken aback but quickly asked, “What do you need them for?”

He needed to understand their purpose before deciding which people to send.

“To protect someone.”

Qin Lu’s initially calm expression became serious as he inquired, “What’s going Nan Yan didn’t hide anything from Qin Lu and recounted the incident of being tracked and her visit to Sun Chan’s place.

Qin Lu’s eyes darkened, and he spoke in a low voice, “I will send people to protect Elder Sun and the others, but Yanyan, you need to come back as soon as possible.”

“I understand.”

However, Qin Lu was still worried. “Where are you now? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Nan Yan replied softly, “No need. I’ll drop off Elder Tao and return right away.”

“Then be careful, and contact me if anything happens.”

“Okay.”

Nan Yan hung up the phone and took a bottle of mineral water from the car before heading over to Tao Qingming.

Tao Qingming had vomited violently, almost emptying his stomach, and he was still retching.

Seeing him in such agony, Nan Yan felt guilty. She unscrewed the mineral water bottle and offered it to him, apologizing, “Elder Tao, have some water.”

Tao Qingming took the water, rinsed his mouth, and then gulped down several sips before starting to feel better.

“Elder Tao, how are you feeling now? Would you like me to give you a couple of acupuncture needles?”

“It’s okay…”

Tao Qingming weakly waved his hand and said, “I’m not that bad off. I just need a little rest.”

“Let’s get in the car first. I’d like to take you back.”

After drinking a few more sips of water, Tao Qingming, feeling his legs go weak, tried to walk back to the car.

Seeing him trembling on his legs, Nan Yan went over and helped him.

As they resumed driving, Nan Yan’s speed was much steadier, which relieved Tao Qingming. The previous high-speed drive had left him quite shaken.

The car came to a stop at Longqiu Manor.

Tao Qingming had initially intended to invite Nan Yan inside for a while, but he refrained, knowing that she would likely want to investigate the people who had been tracking her. Instead, he cautioned her to be careful.

On the way back, Nan Yan received a call from Qin Lu.

“Yanyan, Qin Yi has already taken people to Elder Sun’s place. Do you want to come back directly or go there to check?”

After spending so much time together, Qin Lu had come to understand Nan Yan’s temperament.

She wouldn’t allow people she cared about to be in danger.

The people tracking her had not yet revealed their identity, and they were secretly lurking around Sun Chan’s place. It was impossible for her not to personally investigate.

As soon as Qin Lu finished speaking, Nan Yan calmly replied, “I’ll make a quick visit there; otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.

“Brother, please tell Qin Yi’s team not to alert the enemy, but I want to catch them alive.”

Qin Lu sighed with a hint of helplessness but had to agree. He repeatedly cautioned her to be careful.

After hanging up the phone, he looked down at his injured leg, a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

If he weren’t injured, he could be by the side of his little sister, protecting her. Instead, he was now confined to a wheelchair, anxiously waiting for her return…

Wu Yue had just brought him some documents and felt the terrifying drop in the room’s atmosphere. He nervously cleared his throat.

He… he felt like he could come back later!

The aura in the room exuded by Qin Lu, filled with gloom and danger, seemed like the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

Who had once again incurred his anger?

Ineffectual Wu Yue promptly withdrew the leg he had just stepped forward with, considering closing the door to the room for his young master.

However, just as he moved, Qin Lu, with his eyes filled with intense darkness and danger, locked onto him.

wu Yue:

He dared not move at all. Maintaining a stiff posture, he stood in place and stammered, “Mas… Master…”

Qin Lu restrained the aura of hostility that had filled the room, raised a hand to massage his temple, and calmly said, “Hand them over.”

“Yes…”

Feeling that the pressure in the room had eased considerably, Wu Yue let out a sigh of relief. He quickly handed over the documents and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Ten minutes later, after Qin Lu had finished reviewing the documents, he gave a command, “Wu Yue, have Jiang Sen come to see me.”

Wu Yue seemed to have guessed what his young master wanted to do and felt his heart tighten. He quickly lowered his head and said, “I’ll inform him right away!”

On the surface, Jiang Sen and Wu Yue were both special assistants to the young master.

However, their roles were entirely different.

Wu Yue was the all-around assistant who handled the young master’s work and daily life openly.

Jiang Sen, on the other hand, operated in the shadows, taking care of matters that couldn’t be made public or placed in the open.

While Wu Yue was the one most familiar with and understood the young master in public, Jiang Sen dealt with the real issues behind the scenes.

In actuality, Jiang Sen had a much higher level of importance. Of course, both of them were the young master’s confidants and were absolutely loyal to him.

Jiang Sen quickly arrived at the study.

“Master Qin, what are your orders?”

A hint of darkness flickered in Qin Lu’s eyes as he lightly tapped the desk’s surface with his finger, “Jiang Sen, go to Eireng for me and handle a few matters…”

Back at the courtyard, Nan Yan had returned.

Per Qin Yi’s orders, they had protected everyone in the courtyard. The individuals who were hiding and tracking her had not taken any action, so they remained hidden, avoiding revealing themselves and startling anyone.

Seeing Nan Yan getting out of the car, Qin Yi immediately signaled his men to be on high alert and ensure her safety.

She didn’t rush to knock on the door but instead stood in front of it, holding her phone as if she were checking something. In reality, she was reviewing the surveillance footage.

On her mobile phone screen, there was footage of the area where she was standing. The individuals who had been tracking her noticed her presence at the door and had already begun to take action.

In the footage, they were getting closer and closer to her. When they were only about ten meters away from her, one of them pulled out a tranquilizer gun and took aim at her to shoot.

Nan Yan had no intention of being hit by that shot. She wasn’t sure what substance was in the tranquilizer gun, but she had no interest in taking that risk.

With a seemingly casual movement, she naturally evaded the approaching tranquilizer dart.

“Damn it, she actually dodged it!” cursed the person who had fired the shot in frustration.

Another individual, observing the lone figure of Nan Yan standing at the door, glanced at her petite frame and waved a hand, saying, “Alright, let’s not use tranquilizer guns.. Let’s go straight for it!”
