Chapter 210: Chapter 210: In a Dilemma

"I’ve looked into the Chen Family’s background," Pei Liyan said calmly after listening, seemingly unaffected by their connections. "The Shi Family’s old man has retired for many years, but the remnants of his influence are indeed intricate and complex."

"Yes, Shi Nan is very astute. Even during his term, he was notorious for being ruthless and merciless."

"No matter how ruthless and merciless he was, he’s retired now," Pei Liyan spoke indifferently. "Human nature is very realistic."

Song Xun was startled, then he seemed to understand something and chuckled lightly. "Pei, you’re right."

"But we shouldn’t let our guard down, after all, the other side has both means and a certain network," Pei Liyan wasn’t underestimating his opponents just because they had retreated. "What I’m worried about now are those who will take action, perhaps Sister might be in more danger!"

Song Xun’s expression tightened, and complex emotions flashed across his eyes.

At that moment, sunlight was shining brightly outside the window, warmly beaming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and casting a gentle light on the window sheers. Half of Song Xun’s face was illuminated while the other half was shrouded in shadow.

His features were so distinct, he simply uttered, "Yes, especially that Ruirui, she’s probably even more in danger!"

"But the person who will take action is Qi Yun!" Pei Liyan said.

Thinking about Qi Yun, Song Xun said, "That girl was also arranged by Ruirui for Muyu."

"I’m afraid they will come to Liancheng together to attend your wedding," Pei Liyan mentioned.

Song Xun was taken aback. "Would that Ruirui come?"

"I don’t know," Pei Liyan said emotionlessly. "There has been no contact."

Song Xun hesitated, then stared at Pei Liyan, speaking earnestly, "Let’s not contact her in the future!"

Pei Liyan’s gaze froze, but he remained silent.

Perhaps he didn’t know what to say.

Lost in thought, Song Xun didn’t continue the conversation.

After musing for a while, Song Xun said, "In any case, let’s all be careful this time."

Pei Liyan nodded. "Don’t worry, I’m also prepared. You be careful too. I feel the bride and Sister are both in danger."

Song Xun nodded. "I understand."

The two chatted for a bit longer, and Song Xun said, "I should get going now, Brother Pei."

"Go ahead. You get engaged tomorrow, today and tomorrow will be your busiest. Make sure the security arrangements are in place," Pei Liyan reminded warmly.

Song Xun nodded. "I’ll be cautious. Thank you for the reminder, Brother Pei."

Pei Liyan smiled faintly, politely seeing Song Xun off.

At that moment.

Qiao Rui was walking alone under the Ludao building.

She didn’t call Si Ran, as she wanted to make a phone call.

But in Ludao, surveillance equipment was everywhere, cameras covering every corner, offering a no-blind-spot defense.

Qiao Rui carefully surveyed for a long time and realized it wasn’t just cameras—audio recording devices had been installed too.

That meant, not just images but sounds were being recorded as well.

She was lucky to have checked carefully, or her phone conversation would have been overheard.

After walking around Ludao for a while, she finally found a spot relatively far from a camera.

She picked up her phone and called Qi Yun.

Qi Yun answered quickly. "Young Master, our people said you’ve arrived in Liancheng, staying at Ludao."

"Mm," Qiao Rui responded satisfactorily. "My informants are quite reliable."

"Young Master, the Chen Family sought out Shi Yu, the grandfather on Chen Haimin’s father’s side. The old man wants revenge and will definitely seek it for his grandson."

"Which is why your trip to Liancheng this time is the most dangerous," Qiao Rui said. "I’m calling to tell you, let Huang Ying stay with Muyu."

"Young Master, if I don’t show up, Miss Song will be the most vulnerable," Qi Yun said. "If they can’t find me, they will inevitably take it out on Miss Song."

"Qi Yun, Huang Ying will be with Muyu, and I’ll also send Hidden Guards," Qiao Rui assured. "Your safety is equally important to me."

Hearing this, Qi Yun felt a warmth in her heart. After hesitating, she finally said, "Young Master, having your concern is enough for me."

"Listen, this is an order," Qiao Rui said sternly. "Don’t come back to Liancheng."

"Young Master, arranging for Huang Ying to follow will make Song Xun suspicious," Qi Yun considered for Qiao Rui. "We can’t have too many of our people showing up."

Qiao Rui knew that Qi Yun was thinking of her best interest. She frowned slightly, peering intently and said, "Then let Jinfeng come."

Hearing this, Qi Yun immediately understood Qiao Rui’s intent. "That’s a good solution, but Young Master, Miss Song just had an abortion, and she doesn’t want you to know about her physical condition."

Qiao Rui sighed deeply. "She’s strong, doesn’t want us to worry, so let’s not mention this again."

"Yes!" Qi Yun said. "Young Master, I still wish to stay with Miss Song."

Qiao Rui knew that Qi Yun being with Song Muyu would be most beneficial for Song Muyu.

But her safety was even more concerning for Qiao Rui.

"Young Master, if you’re worried, you could let Mr. Jiang come along, and we could all look after Miss Song together."

"Alright!" Finally, Qiao Rui agreed to Qi Yun’s request. "Are you guys coming to Liancheng?"

"Leaving at two o’clock this afternoon."

"I’ll arrange for Jinfeng to meet you now," Qiao Rui said.

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Qiao Rui called Jiang Jinfeng, "I have a task for you."

"Ancestor, at your command," Jiang Jinfeng wasn’t being formal, his tone teasing.

"Be serious," Qiao Rui said. "Muyu is coming to Liancheng to attend Song Xun’s engagement ceremony. With the situation concerning Chen Haimin, I’d feel safer with you following her."

"Wouldn’t that put Qi Yun in greater danger?"

"She requested to stay with Muyu, wanting to be a target to attract the Chen Family’s attention, and I finally agreed!" Qiao Rui explained.

"Ruirui, are you out of your mind?" Jiang Jinfeng immediately protested.

"Muyu is very weak and needs her care," Qiao Rui said softly. "Qi Yun knows medical skills."

Jiang Jinfeng immediately became alert. "Is there another reason? Why is Muyu so weak?"

"Stop asking," Qiao Rui insisted. "Some things are better left unknown."

Jiang Jinfeng frowned. "I can’t ask?"

"That’s right, you can’t."

"Fine, I won’t ask," he was silent for a moment before adding, "You must have thought this through before making the arrangements."

"It was a last resort," Qiao Rui admitted.

"When should I go to meet them?"

"They head to Liancheng at two, you should be there by one-thirty."

"Have you already arrived in Liancheng?" Jiang Jinfeng asked.

"Yes."

"Where are you staying? We’ll stay there too."

"Ludao."

"Pei Liyan’s territory?"

"Mm!" Qiao Rui confirmed. "If you can get in, you can stay."

"We can’t pay to stay?" Jiang Jinfeng retorted.

"I don’t know about that," Qiao Rui said. "It’s not easy to get into Ludao Hotel."

"Well, I insist on staying there," Jiang Jinfeng snorted. "I’ll go in and trouble the management."

Qiao Rui was speechless. "Fengfeng, don’t be so childish."

"Ruirui, you’re defending Pei Liyan so much, it makes me uncomfortable," Jiang Jinfeng teased. "We’ve known each other for so many years, yet you don’t defend me like that."

"Stop joking, things are urgent; make the call to Muyu," Qiao Rui said, suddenly feeling a piercing gaze watching her, she quickly added on the phone, "Hang up."
