“What is your relationship with the Yu family?” Nan Qiao inquired, looking at them.
“It’s none of your concern. You can leave Forget sorrow City, just like we can,” they retorted.
Following their arrogant remarks, Nan Qiao unexpectedly took action.
No one anticipated that a seemingly gentle and cute young man would display such swift and brutal combat skills.
The individuals from Forget sorrow City instinctively stepped back upon witnessing Nan Qiao’s fierce attack.
Nan Qiao’s most formidable aspect wasn’t just his martial prowess but also the poisons and gu worms in his possession. This made him truly unpredictable.
Moreover, his agility was unparalleled, making him a force to be reckoned with. Most importantly, when Nan Qiao truly became angry and decided to act, no one could stop him.
Including Boss Chen.
The only person who could stop him was Su Yu, but he had already gone to the border and wouldn’t be able to come back.
Yu Baiya looked at the individuals with some reluctance, “Do you know each other?”
These individuals not only knew the young prince of Nanjiang but also seemed to be quite afraid of him.
None of them spoke, their unease apparent. How could this person still ask such a question?
“We’ve always kept to ourselves,” one of them finally responded. They had no desire to confront Nan Qiao.
Facing him meant having no chance of survival, which was something they wanted to avoid.
“You’re all here to kill my sister-in-law, yet you talk about keeping to yourselves. If you go back alive and tell your backers, when Brother Yu returns, he will have a chat with you. Don’t act all timid then.”
“No need to let them go back; it would only cause trouble for Boss Chen.” These individuals were part of the group in Forget sorrow City who opposed Boss Chen.
Taking care of some of Boss Chen’s antagonizers would make things easier.
“Luo Hou, who do you think you are? You want to keep us here? Let’s see if you have what it takes,” one of them said before attacking directly.
If words failed, then action would suffice.
Luo Hou faced the challenge head-on, while Wang Jinhe stood quietly on the side. As for Nan Qiao, he didn’t engage but stayed by Wang Jinhe’s side, not moving an inch.
Yu Jingchuan observed Su Yu’s companions and silently nodded in approval.
The people he had were quite competent to reach this stage.
“Yu Shan, anct swift and decisive. Yu Jie, take Xiao He back. She’s not needed here.”
“Understood.”
As the command was given, Wang Jinhe saw a seductive woman appear beside them.
“Young lady, come with me.”
Wang Jinhe glanced at Nan Qiao and the others, saying, “Take care of yourselves and avoid getting hurt.”
Staying would only distract them; it was better to leave for now and deal with the Yu family upon returning.
“Sister-in-law, you should go back first. We’ll be fine here,” Nan Qiao reassured with a smile.
Wang Jinhe reluctantly nodded and left with Yu Jie.
Initially, Wang Jinhe thought Yu Jie would return to assist Yu Jingchuan and the others after dropping her off. However, after bringing her back, Yu Jie unexpectedly sat down and remained motionless, appearing as if in a trance.
“You’re not going to help Uncle and the others?” Wang Jinhe asked curiously.
“My task is to ensure your safety. There are plenty of people here who want you dead,” Yu Jie replied. Her companions remained at the Yu family’s residence, and leaving Wang Jinhe alone would make her an easy target.
If anything happened to her, her master would hold her accountable.
Wang Jinhe opened her mouth as if to say something but ultimately remained silent.
“If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I won’t disturb you,” Yu Jie said.
“Understood.”
“Qiu Yi, go and bring Wan Feng and the others here. It was a mistake not to bring Lin Zixun this time,” Wang Jinhe muttered to herself.
“Master Lin Zixun just arrived not long ago,” Qiu Yi spoke up.
Wang Jinhe looked surprised, “You mean Lin Zixun has come over? How come I wasn’t informed about this?”
“It was Master who sent for him, saying that Madam would definitely need his assistance.” Master’s intuition was correct; indeed, Madam found Lin Zixun useful.
Wang Jinhe’s eyes softened with a smile. It seemed that Su Yu’s preparations weren’t fully revealed yet, as he could consider such matters.
“Inform him to come over as well.”
“Understood.”
Before long, Wan Feng and Lin Zixun arrived.
Lin Zixun, eager, immediately asked, “Madam, is there something you need me to do?”
Seeing Lin Zixun’s eager expression, Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but chuckle, “So eager to get to work, aren’t you?”
“Of course,” Lin Zixun replied.
Yu Qingfeng walked over and looked at Wang Jinhe, asking, “Xiao He, are you planning to take action against the Yu family?”
“Dad, weren’t you at the Yu family? How come you’re back?” Wang Jinhe asked in surprise.
“Your uncle asked me to come back. He said he could handle things over there, and we have other tasks to attend to.” Elder brother anticipated that Xiao He would deal with the Yu family, so he called him back to assist.
As per his elder brother’s words, he was skilled in business but not in other matters.
“Dad, I do intend to take action against the Yu family. While Uncle and the others can severely weaken the Yu family today, uprooting them completely won’t be easy. Our strategy should involve a two-pronged approach: while Uncle deals with Yu Baiya, we will target the Yu family’s assets,” Wang Jinhe explained.
Yu Qingfeng nodded with a smile, “Your approach aligns with mine. I’ve been thinking along the same lines. Share your thoughts with me.”
After contemplating for a moment, Wang Jinhe continued, “Dad, I’ve been thinking that the Yu family is declining rapidly. If we intervene, it could be relatively straightforward, but for an easy resolution, we’ll need the help of the Emperor.”
“Previously, the Yu family kidnapped me and attempted to harm me, which provides us with substantial leverage,” Wang Jinhe added.
“That could work too. Are you sure the Emperor will assist us, though?” Yu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow inquiringly.
Wang Jinhe nodded confidently, “Dad, you can rest assured that the Emperor will definitely assist us.”
Yu Qingfeng chuckled softly. His daughter was right; indeed, the Emperor would support them.
“Moreover, the Yu family’s involvement with other countries now borders on treason,” he continued. When dealing with traitors, Xuan Feiran (the Emperor) would undoubtedly not show mercy.
Initially, Yu Qingfeng had intended to offer advice to Wang Jinhe, but it seemed she had everything under control.
“It appears you have everything well thought out,” Yu Qingfeng expressed his satisfaction with his daughter.
“Xiao He, whatever you do, make sure to prioritize the safety of yourself and the children,” he advised.
Wang Jinhe smiled and nodded, “Dad, you can rest assured. Both I and the children have plenty of protection around us, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“I feel reassured now. Since you have everything arranged here, I should go and meet our family’s other associates,” Yu Qingfeng mentioned. After returning, he hadn’t had the chance to meet his father’s loyal subjects. It was fitting to do so now.
Looking at Wang Jinhe, Yu Qingfeng spoke up, “Xiao He, once you’ve sorted things out here, come with me for a while. I’ll take you to meet our people.”
Wang Jinhe nodded instinctively, “Sure.”
