Le Yao wandered around the room.

“Baby, sit down.” Qiaoqiao reached out and hugged him. “You have to trust Lord Jue.”

Le Yao nodded: "Yes, he's the male lead, he has a halo, I have to believe him."

Hai Dongyang specifically requested that she attend, but Nangong Jue refused and instead had someone impersonate her. She knew that with her limited martial arts skills, she could only take down some thugs, not the truly ruthless gangsters. So, she didn't go.

The person accompanying Nangong Jue was from District S1.

"Are you reading a novel?" Qiao Qiao flicked Le Yao's cheek. "And the male lead, huh?"

"Hehe." Le Yao could only manage a silly laugh. "I'm just..."

"Alright." Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. "I know you're worried, but there's no use in worrying. So, just do what you need to do and wait for their triumphant return."

Le Yao looked at Qiao Qiao.

"You should also think about your parents."

Le Yao suddenly realized that her parents were suffering even more than she was. If she continued like this, wouldn't they suffer even more? She then smiled and said, "I know, thank you, Qiao."

Qiaoqiao hugged Leyao: "It will be alright."

"Um, I...I'll go make a cheesecake."

Watching Le Yao walk towards the kitchen, Qiao Qiao sighed. This girl really is... how come she has encountered so many things? She was hurt in her previous relationship, but now that she's with Lord Jue, things are going smoothly for her. But... I hope it all passes quickly.

Han Baozhu and Liu Sujuan have been crying their eyes out these past few days. They never expected anyone to harm Shuo Shuo. Although Alan didn't blame them, they blamed themselves.

Han Xiangdong and Nie Baozhen had no choice but to put aside their work and stay by their side, fearing that the elderly couple might do something rash. Fortunately, Nie Baozhen was pregnant, so for the sake of their grandchildren, they weren't too heartbroken.

The wait was agonizing, but thankfully, on the second day, Nangong Jue sent a message that they had evacuated.

"Where's Shuo Shuo?" Le Yao couldn't wait to find out where Shuo Shuo was.

"Shuo Shuo is not in Hai Dongyang's hands." Nangong Jue reassured Le Yao, "Don't worry, Shuo Shuo should be safe now."

"Okay." Le Yao took a deep breath.

"Also, remember, if anyone contacts you and says that Shuo Shuo is in his hands, don't believe them. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay," Le Yao replied, then hung up the phone.

Not long after hanging up with Nangong Jue, someone called again from an unknown number.

Le Yao doesn't answer calls from unknown numbers, so she hung up immediately and blocked the number.

Sure enough, no one called again. However, a message came in very quickly: Miss Han, is it so hard to answer a phone call?

Le Yao replied with a message: Who are you?

The other party: We're old acquaintances, Tina.

Le Yao frowned slightly and removed the number from the blacklist.

Soon, the other party called again: "Tina, you're being very unfriendly to me."

"Duke Byron, what do you want with me?" Le Yao frowned, her vigilance immediately rising.

"Just wanted to have a chat," Byron laughed. "After all, we're relatives, aren't we?"

Le Yao frowned. She knew her background was bizarre, but this was not what she wanted. However, having taken over someone else's body, she had no choice but to face it all.
