Chapter 617: Chapter 0619: Grandfather is in Trouble

An Rongrong glared at Chu Feng before she started fiddling with the pot of Harmony for a Century.

This was the only clue Zhuang Xinyan had left for the two of them, and An Rongrong was determined to find the reason.

"Right, I found out something was wrong through Sister Xinyan’s sign language. How did you realize something was amiss?" An Rongrong asked as she searched, looking at Chu Feng.

"Intelligence!"

Chu Feng, who was driving, replied without a second thought.

An Rongrong said, "Can’t you speak properly? Believe it or not, I’ll ignore you completely from now on."

Chu Feng, with a wronged tone, said, "I’m telling the truth. I really did figure out something was wrong through intelligence. Usually, Zhuang Xinyan would come out to meet us, but this time she didn’t. Furthermore, the Zhuang family’s bodyguards were eerily quiet, almost too deliberately, as if they were performing for my benefit. If I couldn’t tell that there was a problem, then I would be really dumb."

After hearing Chu Feng’s words, An Rongrong thought about it seriously and said, "It does seem to be the case. Well then, use your intelligence to solve the riddle."

Having said that, An Rongrong directly stuffed the flower pot into Chu Feng’s arms.

"I better not do such brain-draining work; I don’t want to age too quickly. Find a place to park, and then solve the riddle," An Rongrong told Chu Feng.

"Alright." Having a girlfriend like that was both a blessing and a pain. But even with the pain, it was willingly endured.

Chu Feng parked the car on the roadside and then began examining the Harmony for a Century plant.

"Zhuang Xinyan said this is her final token of affection." Chu Feng recalled Zhuang Xinyan’s words from beginning to end and concluded that only this sentence seemed to have some implied meaning.

Chu Feng pulled aside the leaf of the lily hidden in the back, and then he saw the glowing small characters underneath the leaf.

Clearly, these words were written by Zhuang Xinyan, which suggested that she was already under someone else’s control. At the very least, the other party had some leverage over her, making Zhuang Xinyan dare not to act rashly.

When An Rongrong saw that Chu Feng had found something, she immediately leaned in to look.

"Grandpa Zhuang is in trouble!"

These were the four words etched behind the leaf.

After An Rongrong saw the words clearly, she became immediately sober and agitated, saying, "Grandpa Zhuang has been taken captive; I knew Sister Xinyan wouldn’t betray us. Chu Feng, let’s hurry back to save Grandpa Zhuang!"

Chu Feng, holding back the emotionally agitated An Rongrong, said, "Even if we go back now, it would surely be in vain. Grandpa Zhuang has already been taken by them, he will certainly not be at the Zhuang residence anymore. Otherwise, with the Zhuang family’s strength at home, rescuing someone would be an easy task. So if we go back now, it would only expose Zhuang Xinyan."

An Rongrong, still agitated, said, "What can we do then? Are we just going to do nothing? Grandpa Zhuang is in danger now, and Sister Xinyan is under their control as well."

Chu Feng said, "That’s why at times like these, we need to remain calm. The incident has already occurred, and impulsiveness won’t change anything. Let’s head back home first, and then we’ll figure out what to do after we get there."

After convincing An Rongrong, Chu Feng drove away from the spot.

However, Chu Feng, although observant of their surroundings for any following cars, had forgotten to look up at the sky.

The fifteen-minute process from when Chu Feng and An Rongrong stopped the car to when they drove away was all recorded by a drone in the sky.

The drone transmitted the footage back to the Zhuang family.

The man hidden in the darkness, with a hoarse voice, after watching the footage, said, "What have you done? If you aren’t compliant, you should be aware of the consequences for your grandpa."

In front of Zhuang Xinyan, there was also a screen displaying the same images as those seen by the man in the darkness.

Cui Jingyan’s tone was even, saying, "I did everything according to your instructions. If there’s an issue, perhaps the plant you had me send was a bit too tacky."

Sure enough, before Cui Jingyan’s words were finished, the flower pot was thrown out of the car window by An Rongrong.

Zhuang Xinyan sighed in relief seeing An Rongrong’s cooperation.

The observer in the shadows, seeing this scene, lowered their guard.

An Rongrong’s actions were completely consistent with what a normal person would do.

"You are lucky and smart not to have done anything to that plant. Otherwise, right now, your grandpa might already be a corpse," the hoarse voice said.

Zhuang Xinyan replied, "Since you were able to find me, it shows you understand me. If you truly understand me, then you should know that I will never let go of anyone who harms my family. If you dare hurt a single hair on my grandpa, I will do everything in my power to overturn you. I think the mastermind behind you wouldn’t want to have another high-intelligence opponent to deal with."

There was no modesty in that; high intelligence is high intelligence. Being overly modest is useless, and such words coming out of Zhuang Xinyan’s mouth might make many people think it was an insult to her.

Because in everyone’s heart, Zhuang Xinyan has always been the Goddess who embodies both intelligence and beauty.

If she doesn’t admit to being of high intelligence, then who else would deserve these three words?

The person lurking in darkness chuckled coldly, saying, "You really are confident. But indeed, the young master really doesn’t want another opponent like you. Hence, apart from leaking information and leaving this home, you are free. Just wait a few days until everyone has completed the signing, and then I will release your grandpa."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "I can sign now, and you can release my grandpa immediately."

"Sorry, I’m not in charge of that. Perhaps the young master wants to keep an eye on you for a while," the hoarse voice said casually.

Zhuang Xinyan, upon hearing this, was so furious that she was trembling. Her greatest concern now was her grandpa, and she was willing to pay any price for his safety.

On the other hand, Chu Feng and An Rongrong discarded the flower pot because Chu Feng sensed something off.

Any sane person would assume that the enemy would have sent someone to track them, but there was no one following on the ground.

If not on the ground, then surely in the sky. Indeed, Chu Feng had spotted a drone that was recording everything.

Of course, Chu Feng could have destroyed it completely, but he ultimately chose to play along with their plot, because acting hastily and destroying their drone would have only made them more suspicious. In the end, that would bring no advantage for Zhuang Xinyan.

Needless to say, the flower pot they had discarded had been tampered with. The real note was still in the hands of Chu Feng and An Rongrong.
