Hong Bin looked at her serious expression, hesitating for a moment.
After all, the Shadow Hall had been torn apart back then, and it could no longer be sustained in the underworld.
Sakura's father had saved the Hall Master, and the Hall Master had cleaned up the mess for them. The Hall Master's methods were swift and decisive.
For the past two years, no one in the underworld dared to provoke their Shadow Hall.
The Hall Master had spent several years and had strengthened the Shadow Hall again.
If he really had to betray him, he might not be able to get everything back.
His face was solemn as he looked at the woman he loved opposite him, "Sakura, the Hall Master is unfathomable in his actions, and it's difficult for us to get everything back. Therefore, we need to prepare two fallback options so that we can retreat safely."
Chu Yunying strongly agreed with his plan.
"Okay! Brother Hong." Chu Yunying was full of confidence.
After dinner, as the two were about to leave, they encountered Ye Anran walking towards them outside the restaurant.
Chu Yunying stopped instantly. Seeing Ye Anran walking towards her without looking sideways, she immediately had a bad premonition.
"Ran Ran." Her smile was very forced.
Ye Anran stood in front of her, her eyes icy. She raised her delicate hand, and with a "slap..."
She fiercely slapped her across the face.
"Ah..." Chu Yunying's vision went black. Hearing her miserable cry, one could tell how hard Ye Anran had hit her.
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting people out of nowhere?" Hong Bin hugged Chu Yunying and glared at Ye Anran.
Ye Anran glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Chu Yunying in his arms.
"Chu Yunying, you are truly my good friend. Knowing full well that she was fake, you threatened her and took away my villa and car. I warn you, return everything within three days. If you don't return it, I will sue you in court."
Her clear voice was devoid of emotion.
Chu Yunying knew that Ye Anran had always been ruthless, but she didn't expect her to be so heartless.
She was no longer afraid of Ye Anran.
She sneered at her, "Ye Anran, if you have proof, then sue me. This was given to me by the fake Ye Anran, and everything is under my name. If you have proof, I'll be waiting for you to take it back anytime."
Giving it back was impossible; the money had already been lost.
She didn't have much money on her now and could only rely on Hong Bin.
Ye Anran looked at her arrogance and truly misjudged her. She was kind and gentle on the surface, but wicked to the core: "Proof is simple. The property you threatened the fake Ye Anran into giving you was never yours. I can go to the police with the recording, and that will be evidence. If you don't come forward within three days, you can expect a summons."
Ye Anran turned and left proudly.
Chu Yunying: "..."
Could she really just watch Ye Anran sue her?
"Brother Hong, what should we do? The money is all gone." Chu Yunying looked at Hong Bin pitifully.
Hong Bin, unaware of this matter, asked curiously, "Sakura, what does she mean by that?"
Chu Yunying told him aggrievedly, "Before, the fake Ye Anran gave me the villa and car, but to buy stocks, I had already sold the house. It was legally transferred to my name, not obtained by deception. At that time, I didn't know she was fake. Now that the real Ye Anran is back and wants to take it back, I can't produce it."
Chu Yunying told the truth, not wanting to appear too disheveled.
Hong Bin squinted, looking at her bruised cheek with concern.
"Sakura, it's alright. If it was legally transferred to your name, she can't take it back even if she wants to. Even if she has proof, we are in the right. Leave this matter to me."
Chu Yunying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
She leaned into Hong Bin's arms and whispered, "Brother Hong, I can only rely on you now."
Her eyes were cold. Ye Anran, that woman, was asking for death!
She would not let this woman have an easy time.
...
Not far away, Yan Qi filmed the scene and sent it to Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen were having dinner. Upon seeing the video sent by Yan Qi, her expression remained unchanged.
Chu Yunying and Hong Bin had already started their plan. She could make the Shadow Hall Master discover the motives of these two.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her thoughtful state and narrowed his eyes, "You're not paying attention during dinner again."
Jiang Nuan took her eyes off her phone and looked at him, asking, "Is there any news about that man?"
Mu Jiuchen shook his head, "He's very cautious. My men tracked him twice and he lost them."
Jiang Nuan knew that this man was definitely still active around her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Husband, after dinner, let's go for a walk."
It would be best to lure that person out.
Lu Qiaoyi and Mu Yichen, father and son, had been arrested, but the people behind them had not yet been found.
Mu Jiuchen knew what she was thinking.
He rejected her heartlessly, "No, you should rest after dinner."
Mu Jiuchen's deep eyes looked at her ambiguously, his low, magnetic voice very alluring, "Didn't you say you missed me?"
Jiang Nuan blushed. She had said that, but it was still too early after dinner.
"I just feel that going for a walk after dinner can aid digestion."
Mu Jiuchen smiled with a hidden meaning. In the lamplight, his features were handsome and charming, and his voice became even more captivating, "No need, I'll help you digest later."
Jiang Nuan: "..." She lowered her head and continued to eat her steak.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her yielding and a gentle smile curved his lips.
...
After a passionate night, Jiang Nuan woke up late the next day.
She got up at noon and before she could wash up, she received a message from Number One.
"Nuan Nuan."
Jiang Nuan directly asked, "Yes! Lu Qiaoyi and Mu Yunfeng, father and son, are both facing the death penalty, right?"
Number One: "Yes, I have already filed the lawsuit. With all the crimes combined, even dying ten times wouldn't be enough for them."
Jiang Nuan's expression remained indifferent. Lu Qiaoyi had brought it upon herself, and the danger around her still remained.
"Nuan Nuan, that man hasn't been caught yet, and you are still in danger," Number One reminded her.
"I know. Has the Excellency taken action?" Jiang Nuan knew there was something wrong with the Excellency.
But he was a high-ranking official, and it was truly difficult to approach him given her status.
Jiang Nuan reminded him, "Prepare an identity for me. I will get close to him."
Number One: "Have you thought it through, Nuan Nuan?"
Jiang Nuan looked out at the bright sunshine, her expression firm, "Do you have a better option?"
Number One gave a bitter smile, "No, there's no one better than you. I will arrange an identity for you. As long as we clarify things here, we won't be in danger."
Although there would be danger, it wouldn't be as anxious as it is now.
Jiang Nuan: "Okay! Don't disturb me until the new identity is ready."
Jiang Nuan hung up the phone after speaking and turned around to see Mu Jiuchen with a displeased expression behind her.
He stood in the sunlight not far away. The warm light cast a warm glow on her, but he still looked very cold.
Her expression paused slightly, "Husband."
Mu Jiuchen walked towards her with a gloomy face and angrily questioned, "What did you agree to with Number One again?"
