Gu Group
Gu Yanjing ca out of the eting room and saw Shang Chen waiting outside the door.
He glanced at him.
Shang Chen walked alongside him and said, "Mr. Gu, Feng Chuanbai’s people suddenly went to Lingshi Temple. At least thirty of them."
Su Qi, who was following on the other side of Gu Yanjing, heard this and frowned, "Why did they go to Lingshi Temple? Do we have people or important things there? Or is he eting soone for cooperation? Is Feng Chuanbai there?"
"We haven’t found Feng Chuanbai," Shang Chen said, "but ng Yan discovered that Miss Lu and Shang Yue went to Lingshi Temple."
Gu Yanjing paused in his steps and looked at Shang Chen, "Just the two of them?"
"There’s no sign of any other Lu Family mbers following them on the surveillance," Shang Chen said, "I’ve already sent our people to Lingshi Temple, just in case."
"Would Feng Chuanbai target Miss Lu?" Su Qi asked, "Given his current situation, he certainly wouldn’t dare go against the Lu Family. Unless he wants to win over Miss Lu. But that’s impossible. Everyone knows the Gu Family and Lu Family are united."
He thought of it, and Gu Yanjing had certainly thought of it too.
After a brief silence, he continued walking towards his office, "Just in case. Shang Chen, you go there personally to ensure their safe return to the Lu Family. Su Qi, inform Lu ngyi."
"Understood!" Shang Chen and Su Qi answered together.
Just after responding, as they were about to leave, ng Yan hurriedly ca out of the office and quickly said to Gu Yanjing, "Mr. Gu, Madam is also at Lingshi Temple."
Gu Yanjing halted his steps once again.
The departing Shang Chen and Su Qi also stopped in their tracks, looking at ng Yan in surprise.
ng Yan quickly added, "I just found out. Before going to Lingshi Temple this morning, Miss Lu picked up Madam from Fenglin Villa. They went together."
Su Qi suddenly widened his eyes.
Could it be that Feng Chuanbai was targeting their boss’s wife?
After hearing this, Gu Yanjing turned and headed straight for the elevator.
Su Qi imdiately followed, taking a few steps with him before rushing back to the office to grab a coat for Gu Yanjing.

Lingshi Mountain
Qiao Yuxian and Lu ngyi didn’t stay long at Lingshi Temple.
Qiao Yuxian made a prayer in front of the Buddha statue.
Lu ngyi chatted with the host monk for a while, with Shang Yue standing outside the door the entire ti.
Afterwards, the three of them descended the mountain.
Lu ngyi noticed that Qiao Yuxian seed sowhat uncomfortable, so the three of them took a cable car down.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, they ate a bowl of noodles and headed towards the parking area.
Qiao Yuxian walked listlessly beside Lu ngyi, occasionally bumping into her.
After bumping her for the fifth ti, Lu ngyi reached out to support her arm, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Yuxian glanced at her, then leaned directly against her and said, "I think my period is about to start, but it hasn’t yet, I just feel it coming."
Shang Yue cast her a glance.
Lu ngyi looked at her and slightly frowned, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know."
"What are you apologizing for?" Qiao Yuxian said softly, "It’s just early by a few days. Even I didn’t know, how could you?"
"Can you manage?" Lu ngyi asked again.
"What if I can’t? Would you carry ?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"I’ll carry you," Shang Yue replied coldly.
Qiao Yuxian gave her a look, "No way. I’d be afraid you’d throw into a ditch."
"I’ll carry you," Lu ngyi said.
Qiao Yuxian looked at her, smiled, and said, "I’m fine. I’m just a bit lazy and don’t feel like moving."
Lu ngyi glanced at her, checking if she was telling the truth.
Qiao Yuxian smiled again, "Miss Lu, you’re a bit different from what I imagined."
"How did you imagine ?" Lu ngyi asked.
"Well..." Qiao Yuxian thought for a mont, "I imagined you wouldn’t carry ."
Lu ngyi laughed, "I was just being polite."
Qiao Yuxian bumped her again, "I don’t believe you. You really wanted to carry just now."
Lu ngyi laughed again and didn’t say anything further.
As the three of them continued walking, after just a few steps, Qiao Yuxian looked at the people around her, leaned her head on Lu ngyi’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Miss Lu, don’t you feel sothing is off about the people around us?"
Shang Yue walked a little behind them, appearing to stroll leisurely without a care, but in reality, she was watching everyone’s movents.
Lu ngyi looked at her for a mont, allowing her to lean against her, "You’ve noticed it too."
"Yes," Qiao Yuxian whispered, "I suspect they have their eyes on and want to kidnap ."
Lu ngyi laughed again.
Shang Yue rolled his eyes dramatically.
Qiao Yuxian also smiled, and just as she was about to speak again, her phone rang.
Then, both Lu ngyi and Shang Yue received ssages on their phones.
The three of them picked up their phones.
Qiao Yuxian saw that it was a call from Gu Yanjing. She first checked the ti, then glanced at Lu ngyi before answering the call.
"What’s up?" Her voice didn’t have the usual sweet tone when answering the phone.
It gave off a very serious impression.
It felt more like a conversation between colleagues than a couple.
Gu Yanjing didn’t mind her tone, directly stating, "Feng Chuanbai has gone to Lingshi Temple. Don’t co out while you’re in the temple. I’ll be there soon."
Qiao Yuxian no longer leaned against Lu ngyi, standing upright. She didn’t look around, just blinked her eyes and said, "Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
Lu ngyi and Shang Yue also received a ssage from Su Qi. After reading it, they both looked at their surroundings.
They had already been noticed, so there was no need to hide anymore.
Eventually, they would have to take action.
The two of them examined the terrain, then both looked at Qiao Yuxian who had just spoken.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yanjing listened to her voice devoid of any tension: "......"
Qiao Yuxian continued, "The good news is that they haven’t made any moves yet. The bad news is...we’re already at the foot of Lingshi Mountain and have seen them."
"Ten minutes," Gu Yanjing’s voice turned colder, "Protect yourselves within ten minutes. Soone is already on the way."
"Okay. Don’t worry." Qiao Yuxian’s voice betrayed a hint of excitent.
Gu Yanjing paused for a few seconds before speaking more sternly, "Qiao Yuxian, wait obediently, and don’t take action."
Qiao Yuxian: "...Oh."
After hanging up, Qiao Yuxian looked at Lu ngyi and asked, "Did you also get the ssage?"
Lu ngyi, observing her calm reaction, nodded slightly and said, "Su Qi told us."
"What should we do now?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
Shang Yue replied coldly, "If they make a move, we’ll fight."
Lu ngyi felt that Qiao Yuxian suddenly beca more energetic.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Lu ngyi.
Seeing Lu ngyi waiting for her to speak, Lu ngyi said calmly, "Yes, if they make a move, we’ll fight."
"Then please, Miss Lu, protect ," Qiao Yuxian said with a smile.
Lu ngyi looked at her twinkling eyes, lively like a little fairy, and smiled slightly, agreeing.
Shang Yue stood to the side, watching her lady smile several tis in a short span, glanced at Qiao Yuxian again, and thought she wasn’t as irritating as she initially seed.
But it wasn’t long before she felt the retaliatory sting from Qiao Yuxian.
She paid dearly for her earlier cold remarks.
Their decision to hike up the mountain had given Feng Chuanbai’s people ti to prepare, fully understanding the terrain of Lingshi Mountain, and they were ready for them.
It had been less than two minutes since Gu Yanjing called Qiao Yuxian. The three of them were surrounded.
Feng Chuanbai’s n imdiately targeted Qiao Yuxian.
Their movents were quick, determined to take Qiao Yuxian away.
Lu ngyi and Shang Yue realized their intentions and shielded Qiao Yuxian between them.
Then... Qiao Yuxian was in the center, cheering them on.
And when she noticed Shang Yue found her annoying, she clung to Shang Yue, chattering beside her.
Shang Yue kicked one person out with a leg, knocking them into a group of people. Then she turned to Qiao Yuxian and said, "Shut up!"
"If I shut up, you wouldn’t have such strength," Qiao Yuxian said behind her, "Quick, there, there."
Under her guidance, Shang Yue took down another person, then worried about Lu ngyi, she glanced over.
It was in that mont that a crossbow arrow shot towards Shang Yue from the distance.
They wanted to capture Qiao Yuxian alive and were wary of the Lu Family, so they dared not do anything to Lu ngyi.
Thus, Shang Yue beca the only one they could deal lethal damage to.
With one less Shang Yue, their resistance would significantly decrease.
The crossbow arrow was incredibly fast, crossing less than a hundred ters in an instant.
Qiao Yuxian imdiately pulled Shang Yue back.
Shang Yue sensed sothing coming towards her, her reactions were already fast, but just as she turned, Qiao Yuxian pulled her back a step, watching the crossbow arrow pass right in front of her, landing on the ground.
It sparked against the ground, leaving a deep mark.
