The black-clad individuals sent by Luo Mingfeng to apprehend someone were currently dumbfounded.
They had actually been discovered!
How was this possible?
These black-clad individuals were the loyal and deadly servants raised by the Luo family. Their usual tasks were to handle various matters that couldn’t be dealt with openly on behalf of the Luo family, such as murder, arson, threats, and intimidation.
They had originally thought that this would be a simple task.
After all, although the An family had some status in Jin City, it wasn’t very powerful. Compared to the Luo family, it was completely insignificant.
But who would have thought that as soon as they entered the An family’s old mansion, they were exposed?
Nan Yan and Qin Lu easily subdued the several infiltrators in black.
Worried that making too much noise would disturb Old Master An’s rest, Nan Yan thoughtfully silenced them temporarily.
There was no need to ask; Nan Yan knew that these people were sent by the Luo family.
However, she was a bit puzzled about how to handle the situation.
If she kept them locked up in the old mansion and Old Master An stumbled upon them, she wouldn’t be able to explain.
Qin Lu noticed her dilemma and made a phone call. Wu Yue promptly arrived and took the captives away.
Back in their bedroom, Qin Lu picked up his coat, looked down at Nan Yan with a calm expression, and asked in a low voice, “Little one, how do you want to deal with the Luo family?”
Nan Yan lazily leaned against the sofa, supporting her head with one hand.
“For a centuries-old prestigious family like the Luo family, with a stable foundation, we can’t easily shake them. Moreover, apart from Luo Ling’s branch and their conflicts with me, there is no connection between me and the others.”
“I plan to have the Luo family change their family head.”
The Luo family was not a monolithic entity, and even the second branch of the Luo family had long coveted the position of family head. Normally, the family head position in the Luo family was inherited by the eldest son. During Luo Mingfeng’s reign, the management of the Luo family was at least not regressing.
And if the second branch wanted to push Luo Mingfeng aside and take the family head position, it would only be possible if Luo Mingfeng committed a major wrongdoing that brought irreparable harm to the family.
Nan Yan’s temperament was indifferent.
She had always lived by the principle of “live and let live.”
But if someone dared to cross her, she would directly make them regret their choices.
“Alright, Brother knows what to do now.”
Qin Lu reached out and rubbed her head, saying, “You don’t need to worry about the Luo family’s affairs. It’s getting late; get some rest.”
Nan Yan pulled his hand down and protested, “They came for me…”
She was perfectly capable of handling it herself. Why did he have to take charge?
“Well, that’s why your brother will teach them a lesson for you.” Qin Lu pretended not to understand the underlying meaning in her words and wore a faint, captivating smile. “Yanyan, is that okay?” Nan Yan was momentarily captivated by his smile.
Her heart rate increased uncontrollably.
She quickly averted her gaze and pretended to casually press her hand against her chest.
This demon!
Why did he have to smile like that while speaking?
Resisting his charm was already difficult enough, and now he was teasing her like this, trying to make her slip up?
In Qin Lu’s eyes, Nan Yan’s silence was seen as consent.
However, he sensed her displeasure and paused for a few seconds before calmly saying, “Your current task is to focus on your studies. Don’t worry about anything else. Give your brother three days, and the Luo family won’t dare to trouble you in the future.”
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Alright, then I’ll trouble you…”
Late into the night, Luo Mingfeng realized that the people he had sent still hadn’t returned.
Capturing one person shouldn’t take this much time, right?
Luo Mingfeng was well aware of the abilities of the Luo family’s deadly servants.
Even if they were tasked with taking someone from the supposedly safest affluent residential area in Jin City, they could do it effortlessly.
He assumed they were on their way back…
After waiting for another hour, Luo Mingfeng’s impatience got the better of him, and he called the people he had sent.
The call connected quickly.
He directly vented his anger over the phone, “What are you guys doing? It’s taking so long to capture a young girl?”
A cold voice came from the other end, “Luo Mingfeng, do you know the consequences of meddling with someone you shouldn’t have?”
Even through the phone, he could feel the inexplicable pressure in the voice.
His heart trembled, and he swallowed hard, asking, “Who are you? How did you get hold of this phone?”
However, his questions went unanswered.
The call was abruptly terminated.
Shortly thereafter, the headlights of a car illuminated the front gate of the Luo residence.
Someone got out and dropped something on the ground in front of the gate.
Then, they honked the horn arrogantly a few times before driving away.
In the quiet night, this series of actions nearly startled everyone in the Luo family awake.
Luo Mingfeng hadn’t been sleeping anyway.
Hearing the commotion, he quickly went outside to see what was happening.
The gatekeepers had already opened the gate and were staring at the injured black-clad individuals lying on the ground, not knowing what to do.
When they saw Luo Mingfeng approaching, someone immediately came forward to report, “Family Head, a car just came by, dropped these people off, and left without leaving any message. Should we call the police?” Luo Mingfeng saw the familiar attire and his pupils constricted.
These were his own deadly servants!
Not only did they fail to bring the person, but they were also injured to this extent.
How was this possible?!
In Luo Mingfeng’s memory, the Luo family’s deadly servants had only failed to complete a mission a few times. Even in the case of failure, they would either commit suicide or be killed, but they would never betray their master.
Thinking of the phone call he had just received, he couldn’t help but wonder if there was someone behind Nan Yan.
Luo Mingfeng clenched his fists, suppressing the panic in his heart, and scolded, “Don’t call the police. Today’s events must not be disclosed to the outside world!”
“Yes, Family Head.”
“What should we do with these people…”
The gatekeepers didn’t have the privilege of knowing about the Luo family’s deadly servants, so they had no idea that these individuals were also part of the Luo family.
Luo Mingfeng hesitated for a moment and said, “Bring them inside for now.”
He wasn’t sure if these deadly servants could still be saved. If they could, he would try to save them. If not, he couldn’t leave them here.
The other members of the Luo family who had been awakened by the commotion had come down to inquire about the situation. With a stern expression, Luo Mingfeng dismissed them with the explanation that “it doesn’t concern them.”
Once he returned to his room, Luo Mingfeng immediately ordered an investigation into Nan Yan’s background.
He had to find out who was behind Nan Yan…
Early the next morning.
Nan Yan had finished breakfast and checked on Old Master An before picking up her backpack and heading to school.
As soon as she entered the school gate, she ran into Jiang Wenqian.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Wenqian was deliberately waiting for her here.
Jiang Wenqian stood in front of Nan Yan with an arrogant demeanor, flanked by two followers. She raised her chin and said in a condescending tone, “Nan Yan, there’s a gathering tonight, and I want you to come with me.”
“Wait for me at the school gate after school today. If you dare to leave early, then don’t bother coming to school again.”
Nan Yan stared at her coldly, thinking of Rongrong lying in the hospital bed.
She suppressed the urge to pummel someone for now.
She raised an eyebrow and replied coldly, “Okay.”
