Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!

Several people were swept by his gaze, their faces pale and their bodies slightly trembling.

"Family Head Chen, Family Head Zhao, it’s you two, isn’t it?"

Suddenly, Chen Family Master seized the handgun on Tang Wenjing’s desk and aimed it at He Chong’s head, "Nobody move! Nobody move!"

Guan Zhizhong and another family head hastily hid behind him as if facing a great enemy.

"Ah, so you’ve been pretending all along! Pretending to have disagreements with Xiao Chen, when in fact, you had secretly conspired together!"

By now, what didn’t they understand? It was all their cunning conspiracy!

Gu Cong’s lips curved into a faint, shallow smile, a trace of ruthlessness emerging on his gentle and scholarly face, "Tell me, who betrayed the news about my parents’ accident years ago?!"

Several people were terribly intimidated by his stare, their eyes darting as they spoke evasively, "We don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Heh." Gu Cong sneered coldly, his voice devoid of warmth, "Don’t test my patience, or I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

"Who lives and who dies is yet to be determined! Let us go now! Or else I’ll kill him!" Chen Family Master forcefully pointed the gun at He Chong.

Throughout the ordeal, He Chong remained calm and expressionless.

Yun Yue slightly narrowed her eyes, "You can’t escape!"

"Then he shouldn’t think about living either!" Chen Family Master spoke agitatedly, "Trading He Family Patriarch’s life for ours, even if we die, it would be worth it!"

Xiao Chen, who had been silent all along, slowly lifted his eyelids, his sharp gaze falling on the three of them, and spoke deliberately, "The gun has no bullets."

"Impossible! This is Tang Wenjing’s gun; how could it have no bullets!"

"It must be you lying! Let me tell you, we can’t be intimidated by you!"

"That’s right! He loves to manipulate, never believe his lies!"

The three voiced out, unsure whether they were convincing themselves or others!

Tang Wenjing stepped forward, approaching step by step, "I said there are none, and if there were any, how could you have snatched it so easily!"

The Chen Family Master, seeing her so confident, began to falter.

In a flash, Tang Wenjing moved forward, broke his hand, snatched the gun from his hand, and swiftly took down the other two as well.

A poignant scream spread, and only then did everyone realize what had just happened in that instant.

These three dared to play with guns in front of Chairman Tang, overestimating their abilities.

Moreover, with the skilled young people present, no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t escape.

He Chong, freed from restraint, sat calmly alongside.

Many secretly remarked, truly worthy of being the He Family Patriarch, even in the face of life and death, he remained unafraid.

"The mole has also been dealt with, take them away." Yun Yue coldly swept them a glance, then her eyes landed on Guan Zhizhong’s phone, the message still unfinished and unsent.

"Young Master Gu, please pass me the phone."

Perhaps she could use Guan Zhizhong’s phone to let He Yao know the news.

She composed a text message and sent it.

He Chong, guessing her intent, spoke, "He Yao is suspicious, even if it’s sent by Guan Zhizhong he might not believe it."

Xiao Chen stood up, clearly understanding what Yun Yue was up to, "Of course I know he won’t completely believe it, the next step is to make him believe. Let’s end today’s meeting here, and ensure the safety of all family heads, please bear with us."

Originally, it was these three who started the commotion, and now that they were caught, naturally, no one dared to object further.

Staying outside was indeed dangerous, it’s safer to hide.

After they left, only Tang Wenjing and Feng Ye remained.

Yun Yue shared her plan with them.

"Tomorrow, I will disguise myself as her and then lure out He Yao."

"Tang Chairman, tomorrow please arrange for someone to secretly guard every exit of Beijing and let my people handle them, as they are familiar with the tactics of the Underground Alliance."

Tang Wenjing nodded: "Can do."

"When the time comes, watch my actions, and after I make my move, then you move."

"Okay."

Several people nodded in agreement, confident that as long as the plan went smoothly, it would definitely succeed!

The most critical part now rested on Yun Yue.

At two o’clock in the early morning, a torrential rain started, and Yun Yue’s door was quietly pushed open.

The lightning outside occasionally lit up the whole room. Yun Yue lay in bed, listening to the soft footsteps, followed by the bed beside her sinking down, suddenly falling into a warm embrace, smelling his crisp cologne, Yun Yue’s mind was exceptionally clear.

Those strong, firm arms tightly hugged her, seemingly trying to meld her into his body. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A magnetic, raspy voice came from above her head.

"Sister Yue, you must ensure your safety tomorrow; nothing is more important than you."

He couldn’t bear the pain of losing her; just the thought of it made him feel as if he was losing the whole world; he would go insane!

"Okay, I promise you." Yun Yue’s heart warmed. She had finally found him and so many loved ones and companions; she was not willing to die yet.

"Alright, sleep now."

With her response, Xiao Chen felt much more at ease, but still held her tightly.

Yun Yue quietly let him hold her, listening to the strong, rhythmic heartbeat from his chest and gradually fell asleep.

Feeling the even breathing of the person in his arms, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, which shone like black gems, and his thin lips gently landed on her forehead.

The following day.

Yun Yue no longer saw Xiao Chen by her side. After washing up, she walked outside.

Ji Xian saw her and asked, "Yue girl, where did Xiao Chen take Wen Jun early this morning? It seemed all secretive."

Yun Yue immediately replied, "Grandfather, things have been uneasy recently. I have arranged for someone to escort you to a safe place for a few days, and we will pick you up once things here are settled."

"Uneasy? Are people from the Underground Alliance entering Beijing?" Ji Xian, with his wise eyes, looked at her.

Yun Yue felt helpless; she couldn’t hide anything from him: "Yes, I’m afraid they might target you, so hiding is the safest option. Mother has already gone there too."

Upon hearing it was the Underground Alliance, Housekeeper Ji’s expression changed, and he immediately advised, "Master, since it’s the Underground Alliance, it’s best to listen to young miss and hide for a few days. I believe that young miss and Young Master Xiao can handle it."

"That’s fine, but you must ensure your safety. I don’t want to outlive my children," Ji Xian also knew staying here would be of no use and might even burden them.

"Housekeeper Ji, go to my room and bring out the Jade Token," Ji Xian instructed, and Housekeeper Ji, shocked for a moment, went to fetch a translucent green jade token from Ji Xian’s room.

"This is the Ji Family Patriarch’s Jade Token. With it, you can command the Ji Family Guards as you see fit."

Yun Yue naturally refused: "The Ji Family Guards are for the most dire times at Ji family; I have enough people and don’t need this token."

"Take it! If you don’t, I won’t leave!" Ji Xian’s stance was firm, stuffing it into her hands.

Yun Yue felt a bit helpless: "Alright, I’ll keep it, and return it to you after everything is over."
