When interrogating Ye Rumian about his disciples, Li Nanfang did not pry too much.
Such demands would make Ye Rumian feel insecure, which would be detrimental to the future relationship between master and disciple.
Moreover, Li Nanfang feared that if pushed too hard, Ye Rumian might spout nonsense.
He only asked two questions.
The whereabouts of the elite assassins.
Why Ye Rumian had suddenly gone against his usual nature to try and assassinate Su Nanyin with his life.
While Li Nanfang was still in the car, the twelve elite assassins brought by Ye Rumian and Si Jiu had already met their demise.
Li Nanfang had called He Lan Tingmei, requesting her to personally lead four Dark Blade teams to apprehend the assassins.
He had also learned about the "Dyed Phoenix Arrangement" that was currently being deployed on the island.
However, Ye Rumian only had a rough understanding of this arrangement.
Even so, this made Li Nanfang even more concerned about Su Nanyin's safety.
After much deliberation, Li Nanfang decided to call Su Nanyin, of course without mentioning anything about the arrangement.
"Under no circumstances should those involved in the arrangement know that someone is within it. Otherwise, it will only create many unforeseeable accidents. It is best for everything to unfold naturally."
These words were spoken by the First Elder to Li Nanfang a few days prior, when the Xuanlong Banner of Lijia Village descended unexpectedly. Li Nanfang, upon hearing the news, was extremely shocked and rushed to Lijia Village.
His call to Su Nanyin was merely to remind her to be extra vigilant about her safety.
When Su Nanyin received Li Nanfang's call, she was in a hotel suite, listening to reports from Gao Lingwang and others.
"What? Someone was trying to assassinate me near my home this morning? And as many as twelve elite assassins?"
Su Nanyin's face changed drastically upon receiving the call.
She immediately felt a cold sweat break out on her back.
She had been living a very comfortable life recently.
Especially after Ru Hua and Wang Zi became sisters, Su Nanyin's guard had significantly lowered once again.
On the principle of avoiding waste, she had removed several hidden sentries, leaving only Hu Zi and two others to pretend to be in hiding.
But she had never expected that so many elite assassins would be prepared to break down her door to assassinate her this morning!
"Fortunately, Yaoyao called me early this morning, requesting that I secretly rush to Modu overnight. Otherwise..."
Su Nanyin dared not think further and raised her hand to wipe her forehead.
Li Nanfang continued, "As for where those assassins came from, because they all committed suicide by taking poison in time, He Lan Tingmei has not found any clues. In short, while you are in Modu, you must have Qianfan protect you around the clock."
For that brat to protect me around the clock?
That's a bit embarrassing—
A certain beautiful young woman's heart fluttered, but outwardly she frowned, "There's no need to be so serious, is there? Besides him, Yaoyao, Su Xin, and Gao Lingwang are all with me."
"Listen to me, and you won't suffer."
Li Nanfang asked, "Where is Qianfan? Is he with you now?"
Su Nanyin replied, "I haven't gone to the Great Wall Hotel yet. I'm with Gao Lingwang and the others right now."
"Go there immediately. I'll call Qianfan first."
After speaking, Li Nanfang decisively ended the call.
He did not ask Su Nanyin the reason for her urgent trip to Si Jiu.
He could ask his grandson directly, and he would get a clear answer.
Su Nanyin put down her phone and looked at Gao Lingwang, "Continue."
Gao Lingwang continued his report on the matters Li Qianfan had asked him to investigate.
Li Qianfan had not guessed wrong.
Ma Hongshan was indeed from the Ma family of Modu.
Chen Canghai was from the Chen family of Modu.
Wei Shifang's mother was a cousin of President Chen.
The four major families of Modu had been intermarrying for many years through indirect connections.
Even among the seven prominent families along the coast, there were many such strategic marriages.
It was these marital ties that allowed the seven prominent families to stand united. When faced with threats from the Beijiang prominent families, they would immediately form a single front.
In any era, marriage alliances were the best way to strengthen oneself!
The love story of Cinderella and the domineering CEO was merely the daydreaming of a few brainless individuals.
"Heh heh."
After understanding the situation, Su Nanyin gave a slight cold laugh, "I haven't settled the score with certain people for fabricating rumors. Now that they are repaying kindness with enmity after Qianfan and Yaoyao saved the day, and are twisting facts. Good, good, good, very good."
She repeated "good" several times, then gracefully stood up, picked up her sunglasses from the table, and put them on, "Let's go to the Great Wall Hotel. Make a grand entrance! Let certain people in Modu know that Su Nanyin has arrived!"
"Yes!"
Qin Zhou and others gathered in Gao Lingwang's room all responded with a roar, and stood up with a whoosh.
The second team led by Gao Lingwang was now all in Modu (some of them had come with Su Nanyin that morning).
In addition to them, there were also Wang Zhe and Chen Dong from Qingyun.
These fourteen people, plus Su Xin, a total of fifteen people, surrounded Su Nanyin, who was dressed in a white suit and white high heels, as she strode out of a hotel. The aura she exuded immediately drew a lot of attention.
After all, only those with little common sense, aside from some celebrities, would dare to make such a grand appearance in Modu.
The key point was.
The bodyguards of those celebrities were usually just security personnel costing a hundred yuan a day.
Could they compare to people like Gao Lingwang, who had been on the battlefield?
They didn't need to put on a show; they themselves exuded a chilling aura.
Especially the appearance and figure of a certain empress, which was incomparable to those celebrities.
Even a fool, from eighty meters away, could clearly feel the noble and sexy aura radiating from her.
"Who is this woman?"
"Someone from the four great families?"
"None of the young mistresses of the four great families have such looks and presence."
"If she were to become an actress, she would definitely guarantee box office success."
"Are you out of your mind? Such a woman would go into movies? Have you ever heard of the term 'wasting a precious gift'?"
Many onlookers chattered, taking out their phones to record videos and post them.
Some even captioned them: "Seven-star beauty appears in Modu!"
In fact, many years ago, people had used the phrase "seven-star beauty" to describe Su Nanyin.
However, as she was shelved, the saying "seven-star beauty" gradually faded from people's memory.
Now—
It was as if the seven-star beauty had returned to the world, her charm even more captivating than before.
Sixteen people, five cars.
With the clanging sound of car doors closing, they slowly drove eastward.
Vroom!
As Gao Lingwang, who was leading the convoy, drove past an intersection, he heard a buzzing sound.
A blue sports car sped past him.
Before Gao Lingwang could even identify whether the driver was male or female, the car was already a hundred meters ahead.
Chen Dong, sitting beside him, said, "The right front fender of that car seems to be taped up."
Wang Zhe, sitting in the back seat, immediately retorted, "Impossible. If I'm not mistaken, that's a Lamborghini. A car like that is worth at least over three million yuan. If you were driving a car worth millions, would you tape up the front fender?"
"Of course not."
Chen Dong said, "But the right front fender of that car is indeed taped up. I trust my eyes; I'm absolutely sure I didn't see wrong."
Wang Zhe said, "Let's bet."
Chen Dong did not back down, "What are we betting on?"
Wang Zhe replied, "We'll bet 132 yuan!"
Chen Dong asked curiously, "Why 132? Not a round number? Does the number 132 have any special significance to you?"
"No special significance."
Wang Zhe looked out the car window with a cool demeanor, "Because I only have 132 yuan in pocket money right now."
Chen Dong—
Gao Lingwang—
The wheels rolled on.
Heading east all the way.
This was the Ma family of Modu—
Early in the morning, the place was packed with guests, and many people stood in the courtyard and by the entrance.
Each of them had a stern expression, their brows furrowed.
Early this morning, a pair of young people claiming to be from Si Jiu suddenly seized guns on the street, injured Chen Canghai, Ma Hongshan, Wei Shifang, and others; moreover, they publicly slammed Ma Qiang to death!
Was there any law in this world?!
Upon receiving this news, the patriarchs of the four great families were furious (they were united, after all).
But soon, they calmed down.
Because after committing the crime, the young couple did not flee Modu overnight. Instead, they swaggered into the Great Wall Hotel!
They even declared that the people from the Chen and Ma families must appear before them within 12 hours to apologize.
Otherwise, they would face the consequences!!
If that young couple did not have immense backing and connections, how could they dare to be so arrogant?
However, the four great families could not imagine which family from the Yang and Du clans in the East would dare to act so recklessly in Modu.
Who were these young people who registered under the names Yang Fan and Du Yaoyao when they checked into the hotel?
Before understanding the background of this young couple, the four great families must not act rashly.
For now, it was sufficient to ensure they remained at the Great Wall Hotel.
Before understanding their background, they needed to figure out what exactly happened on the street early this morning.
At this point, Chen Canghai, who was injured, naturally dared not conceal the road surveillance footage anymore.
The ironclad facts proved that Ma Qiang's car had collided with a blue sports car.
Ma Qiang had run a red light.
The blue sports car, which had fled the scene, did not have license plates.
After the car accident, the young couple, who were originally on the sidewalk, rushed over immediately and rescued Ma Qiang and a certain internet celebrity from the car.
Subsequently.
They bandaged Ma Qiang's wounds, the car caught fire, an ambulance arrived, and the Ma family members arrived.
A conflict ensued!
However, due to issues with image quality, the appearances of the people at the scene could not be clearly seen.
"Wei Shifang."
Chen Er, representing the Chen family, asked slowly, "Why did you have a conflict with that young couple? Logically speaking, after they urgently rescued Ma Qiang, they were strangers to you, and there shouldn't have been such a severe conflict."
Wei Shifang, whose jaw was still swollen and whose son had been lost, naturally dared not lie.
She confessed truthfully.
However, she tried to argue that she had spoken too harshly to the young couple out of concern for her son, and who could have imagined they would strike first?
Spoken too harshly?
This was normal.
This was how they had lived their lives all these years.
But this was not a reason for that young couple to kill someone in public!
As Chen Er nodded, he heard hurried footsteps from outside the door.
A young member of the Ma family ran in, shouting, "The Seven-Star Beauty has come to Modu!"
What Seven-Star Beauty?
Chen Er and the others were taken aback and looked up.
The person ran to the doorway and reported urgently, "The head of the Su family of Si Jiu, Su Nanyin, has suddenly arrived in Modu. Currently, her car has just pulled up in front of the Great Wall Hotel. That young couple who committed murder is at the main entrance to greet her!"
