Following He Lianhua's instructions, Xu Zhaoyue carefully picked up the white jade peony. It was crystal clear, with each petal having a unique shape and being quite beautiful. Even the stamens were carved in different shapes, with delicate and distinct details at the bottom.
"Hmm, they're beautiful, and they must be expensive. Why are all the things you gave me so valuable, even though Lanxing has suffered so much?" Xu Zhaoyue asked curiously. He Lianhua looked around but didn't see Butler Yue. "Where's Butler Yue? You're back now, isn't he coming over?"
Xu Zhaoyue knew what Yue Lanxing was busy with, but she couldn't tell He Lianhua yet. "I don't know. A housekeeper has to manage everything, right? Maybe he went somewhere else."
"Alright, I'll give it to you if I want to. But what did Han Fang lose? He probably just wanted to make you happy. Do you think the two families would really fall out over a butler?" He Lianhua's words made sense.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded in agreement with He Lianhua's statement, and the two then chatted about other things.
Yue Lanxing did not appear until He Lianhua left the Xu family mansion. He only appeared when the servants in the kitchen were preparing dinner. He cooked two dishes and then left again.
"This stir-fried bamboo shoot is less salty than before, but it's even more flavorful," Xu Zhaoyue commented after finishing a bamboo shoot.
Xiao Nan glanced at the dish and said, "This looks like it was made by Butler Yue. I didn't expect him to be so creative. If I run into him tomorrow, I'll ask him. Miss, please try another dish."
Xu Zhaoyue saw Xiao Nan go to get the second dish, and she glanced at the door, but there was no sign of him. "Did he finish cooking and go to the back?"
“Miss, they’ve been very busy these past few days, and they don’t usually talk to the other servants much,” Xiao Nan said.
Xu Zhaoyue thought about it and realized that Yue Lanxing must be very busy right now. How could he still find time to cook when he was so busy? But the cooking suited her taste.
For the next few days, Yue Lanxing didn't take Xu Zhaoyue to work. In fact, only two dishes were placed on Xu Zhaoyue's table in the evening. After not seeing him for a few days, Xu Zhaoyue saw these dishes and wondered what he looked like when he cooked.
On the day of the operation, Xu Zhaoyue looked at the food on the table and knew that there were no dishes made by Yue Lanxing himself. She also thought that he was now outside the gang, so she lost her appetite even more.
Xiao Nan noticed that the young lady kept looking outside, probably waiting for Butler Yue and the others to return. Although she didn't know the specifics of their operation, she had heard gunshots coming from the storeroom every day and had her own guesses.
Xiao Nan didn't know what to say, so she stood silently beside the young lady and served her a lot of food. Xu Zhaoyue had no appetite, but she still ate some.
At this moment, Xue Huzi and Li Qi were waiting for the right moment to make their move. Yue Lanxing and Tian Dai had already led their men in and infiltrated the area. They waited in the darkness for about half an hour when a firework shot into the sky, its brilliant colors signaling that they had succeeded inside.
"Wow, Brother Yue is so fast! Brothers, let's go! Let's coordinate from the inside and outside!" Xue Huzi waved his hand behind him, and about a dozen figures walked out of the woods. After these days of training, they were already able to observe their opponents in the dark.
Then, gunshots rang out incessantly, startling the dogs in a nearby house, who barked loudly. The owners opened the window and threw a piece of steamed bun out, hitting the dog's kennel in an attempt to gag it.
"Brother Yue, everything outside has been taken care of. How's it going here?" Xue Huzi kicked open the door. Li Qi glanced at him; he was the only one capable of kicking open that door.
Yue Lanxing glanced at his right arm, which had been slashed. These people were indeed skilled, as expected of their leader. Besides him, the others had also suffered some injuries, with Tian Shi being the most seriously wounded in the back.
"Why are they all injured?" After coming in and seeing clearly, Xue Huzi ignored the corpses on the ground and came over to check their condition first.
"If guns weren't prohibited here, I wouldn't have gotten hurt." Tian Dai spat on the ground, then looked at Yue Lanxing gratefully. "Brother Yue, if you hadn't pulled me up, the knife would have gone much deeper."
At that time, Tashiro was fighting his old enemy with bloodlust and was confident of victory, but he was suddenly attacked from behind without noticing. Yue Lanxing came over to pull him away and used her arm to shield him.
Yue Lanxing remembered that Tian Dai was older than him, but he didn't correct him. "We're all brothers, why are you saying these things? Okay, you sit down and rest first. Hu Zi, you take the uninjured brothers and patrol with guns, don't let any escape."
"Alright." Xue Huzi led his men out for a stroll, while the rest of the men searched the house for valuables. Naturally, they also found gauze and other bandages to use for bandaging wounds and began bandaging themselves.
Li Qi took out some gauze and iodine. "Brother Yue, your wound isn't deep. Let's disinfect it first. With your body, it will scab over in two days."
Yue Lanxing looked at what he was holding, moved her arm slightly, and felt that it wasn't too serious. Treating it now would definitely make it heal faster, but Yue Lanxing didn't want to use the gauze here, and she didn't want to treat the wound in front of so many people.
"I'm fine, you can take it to them. This little injury will heal on its own soon." Yue Lanxing's face was expressionless, with a cold and indifferent look. Li Qi wanted to persuade her again, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Yue Lanxing still carried a murderous aura, and the stench of blood in the room was overwhelming. Yue Lanxing knew without even smelling it that he was covered in a strange odor, and if he went back, it would definitely offend the young lady.
So while the others were searching, Yue Lanxing stood alone outside the gate, like a gatekeeper. His expressionless face looked even colder in the night. However, everyone else was busy and didn't care what Butler Yue was doing.
