The Su family's old residence.
Old Mrs. Su paced back and forth, restless.
It was already one in the afternoon, yet not a single person from the Su family who went to the cemetery to pay respects to the late Mr. Su had returned.
Their phones were all unreachable, and she had no idea what had happened.
She found it unbelievable; even if something had happened, it was impossible for dozens of people to lose contact all at once.
"Madam, I didn't see anyone. At the cemetery, I couldn't find a single person!"
A servant rushed in, speaking somewhat flustered.
Old Mrs. Su frowned and scoffed, "Impossible, what on earth happened? Did they even visit the old master's grave?"
"They did, there were many fresh flowers left at the grave!"
"That's strange!"
Old Mrs. Su said, "We agreed to gather and eat at the old residence after the memorial. What are they all playing at? Alright, you call them one by one until you get through!"
As she said this, she felt a great deal of anxiety and unease.
It was rumored that Su Yuxin had brought her new boyfriend back, the eldest young master of the Zhong family from Jinling. Could it be because of this young master Zhong?
Regardless, she couldn't figure it out.
...
Airport.
Seeing Xu Shengqing emerge with his bodyguards, Yuan Liangping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved, and as Xu Shengqing approached, he immediately said, "Young Master Xu, something has happened. Young Master Jiang Shaolong was taken away by the Raptor Squad!"
"It has to do with the Raptor Squad?"
Xu Shengqing blinked, then reacted, frowning, "Why didn't you arrange for him to go into hiding?"
"I didn't expect the Raptor Squad to intervene, and they were so quick!"
Yuan Liangping said with a wry smile.
Jiang Shaolong's fate had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care.
But the problem was that his own situation was more serious.
Encountering such a thing right after disembarking, Xu Shengqing's mood could hardly be good.
However, he wasn't too worried and said, "My cousin's flight is in three hours. Let's just wait for her here."
Yuan Liangping was still a bit uneasy and asked, "Isn't Miss Chen difficult to deal with? Would she be willing to... help me?"
"You don't understand my cousin!"
Xu Shengqing smiled and said, "Is the 'Little Demoness of Kyoto' just a nickname? She won't let anyone disrespect her! Even if Qin Tianyou angers her, she can turn the sky upside down."
Yuan Liangping was startled. He wasn't from the inner circle of Kyoto, so he naturally didn't understand.
But with Xu Shengqing speaking so confidently, his heart immediately felt much more at ease.
Thus, the group waited at the airport, and Xu Shengqing called Miss Chen to inform her.
Su Yingxia received a call from the Su family and explained the situation.
While waiting, several hours passed, and a graceful figure walked out of the airport's VIP channel.
"Here, Xing'er, over here!"
Xu Shengqing quickly went to greet her.
"Xing'er is what you call me?" Miss Chen scoffed.
"Cousin, doesn't it seem more intimate?" Yuan Liangping said with a fawning smile.
Yuan Liangping and the others looked somewhat strange. Xu Shengqing's status seemed to hold no weight in front of this Miss Chen!
However, they dared not be negligent and quickly stepped forward with smiles and greetings.
This Miss Chen not only looked beautiful but also exuded an aura of immense power.
Even though Chen Xing'er was only accompanied by an assistant and traveled light, she immediately inspired a sense of awe in them.
Looking around, Chen Xing'er asked Xu Shengqing, "Where is that woman named Su?"
Xu Shengqing was taken aback and asked, "Cousin, do you mean the one who called Grandpa?"
"Yes!"
Su Yingxia's heart pounded.
She hadn't expected that Miss Chen's first action upon arrival would be to ask about her.
Was her grandfather's relationship with the Chen family closer than she imagined?
"Su Yingxia, this is the lady!"
Xu Shengqing, filled with surprise and joy, quickly made the introduction.
His gaze fell upon Su Yingxia, and Chen Xing'er examined her with a scrutinizing look.
Su Yingxia felt nervous but also full of anticipation, and greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Miss Chen!"
Nodding, Chen Xing'er asked, "You called my grandfather, what was it about?"
As Su Yingxia was about to explain, she saw Yuan Liangping signaling to her.
She understood, her voice lowered, feigning sadness, and said, "My husband was in trouble, so I had no choice but to call Elder Chen for help. I didn't expect the matter to not be resolved."
She recounted how Jiang Shaolong was detained by the Raptor Squad, and then emphasized that he had been captured by the Raptor Squad again this time.
Yuan Liangping quickly introduced the Raptor Squad.
"Jiang Shaolong?"
Without paying attention to the Raptor Squad, Chen Xing'er murmured the name.
Su Yingxia was both surprised and delighted.
She hadn't expected this Miss Chen to care about Jiang Shaolong's name. Could it be that she had some connection with the Jiang family?
"Cousin, let's go to the hotel first, we can talk about other things on the way!"
Xu Shengqing said solicitously.
Chen Xing'er gave a noncommittal reply and asked Su Yingxia to join her, inquiring in detail about Jiang Shaolong's situation.
After a few questions, she frowned slightly.
The information about this Jiang Shaolong didn't match her brother's at all.
Could it be that Su Yingxia, or rather the Su family, had no connection to her brother?
But that shouldn't be the case. If there was no connection, why would the old man involve himself in such matters? For the past few years, the old man had ignored everything and only focused on cultivating himself.
Based on her understanding of the old man, her brother was likely in Hangzhou.
It was a pity she couldn't pry any information from the old man.
Leaving the airport, the group headed straight for the Hanjiang Grand Hotel.
Just as they had settled into their hotel rooms and were about to rest, she heard a commotion.
Stepping out of her suite, she saw a group of ferocious soldiers storming into Yuan Liangping's suite, clashing violently with Jiang Shaolong's bodyguards.
"Cousin, trouble! These soldiers are lawless, they're trying to take Liangping away!"
Chen Xing'er glanced at Xu Shengqing and said with a cold smile, "Xu Shengqing, it seems you're not doing very well in Hangzhou!"
Xu Shengqing's face turned a little awkward and he said, "The captain of the Raptor Squad is Qin Tianyou, the eldest young master of the Qin family in Kyoto. My influence doesn't work well here!"
"What is it about?" Chen Xing'er asked coldly.
"A small matter," Xu Shengqing said. "Jiang Shaolong got into some trouble, which implicated Yuan Liangping. These soldiers didn't care and just arrested him."
"A small matter?"
Chen Xing'er sneered, staring at Xu Shengqing.
Xu Shengqing looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Cousin, do me a favor, don't let them take him away."
"Yuan Liangping is my ally, and he knows the situation in Hangzhou very well. To make your trip enjoyable, he put in a lot of effort."
Chen Xing'er snorted and said, "I'll help you this once. If there's any more of this nonsense, Xu Shengqing, don't blame me for beating you up!"
"Okay, okay!"
Xu Shengqing readily agreed.
Yuan Liangping's bodyguards were naturally no match for the Raptor Squad, and Yuan Liangping was escorted out like a prisoner.
"Stop right there!"
Chen Xing'er smiled and said, "Brother Qin, give me some face, leave him here."
Qin Tianyou turned and looked, and upon seeing Chen Xing'er, he was momentarily stunned.
