Rong Qi nodded, Lets go. They wont talk.

Shangguan Ze stood up, made a phone call to arrange for cleanup, and then walked Rong Qi back to the car.

Could it be those people from Merica who have followed us here? Shangguan Ze was deeply concerned. If that were the case, they would be in trouble. Their foundation in Leucia was not yet solid, and dealing with these new threats could risk everything they had built.

Rong Qis eyes flickered with thought and said, Unlikely. Ill check.

Shangguan Ze nodded, about to start the engine when he glanced in the rearview mirror and cursed in surprise.

Another car was approaching fast, but Rong Qis tension eased upon recognizing it.

Its not an enemy, Rong Qi said, her brows furrowing slightly.

Behind them, a black luxury car pulled up. Before they even saw who was inside, they heard an anxious voice.

Rong Qi!

Sheng Jian and Xu Yi got out, surveying the scene littered with bodies, frantically searching for Rong Qi.

Sheng Jian, seeing the corpses, was panic-stricken, fearing the worst. If anything happened to Rong Qi, he, along with Ye Nanshen, would wreak havoc on the capital.

Find her! Even if we have to turn the capital upside down!

But then, Rong Qi appeared from behind the jeep.

Madam! Xu Yi was almost in tears. Waking up to news of Rong Qis ambush had terrified him.

Sheng Jian, relieved to see Rong Qi unharmed, wrapped her in his coat. He asked, Are you okay?

Sheng Jians first concern was for Rong Qis safety, not the details of the attack.

Im fine. Sorry to worry you, said Rong Qi.

Of course, we were worried, Sheng Jian replied. Mrs. Hong has made fish soup for you. Lets go home and get you something warm to eat.

Sounds good.

Sheng Jian drove Rong Qi home, leaving a team to handle the aftermath.

How did you know I was attacked? Rong Qi asked in the car. Even she had thought the ambush was a sudden setup.

Xu Yi explained, It was your stepmother. She tried to hire a.s.sa.s.sins from Seven Sinisters, who refused. Weve been watching her and sure enough, she hired others.

So it was w.a.n.g Qing. Rong Qi thought.

Keep an eye on her. This might not be over yet. Rong Qi instructed.

Understood, Madam, Xu Yi responded.

After dropping Rong Qi off at Clearcreek Mansion, Sheng Jian left without entering, a rare occurrence.

Inside Clearcreek Mansion, Rong Qi, accompanied by Shangguan Ze and Xu Yi, saw Zhuang Ling waiting in the living room with a look of grave concern.

Is Shen back? Rong Qi inquired..
