Chapter 111: Opportunity to Repay a Favor
In the front-line camp, in a room of another civilian house.
At this time, Xu Qianqian was listening to the report from her subordinates.
In front of the girl, people wearing cloaks knelt on one knee and reported to Xu Qianqian.
Specifically, what exactly happened at the Xu family, what kind of accident had happened to her father, and why she couldn't get in touch with them. These were things that had to be paid attention to, so Xu Qianqian gave orders early on and asked her subordinates to investigate.
Now, it seems that preliminary intelligence has been collected.
"You said that father went to Yinze City as a representative of the senior officials of Base City to discuss reinforcements with the people there, so he is not in Longyao City at the moment?"
Xu Qianqian was surprised by the news.
She didn't expect that her father actually left Longyao City and ran to Yinze City.
The person reporting nodded with certainty.
"This is the latest news from the Xu family. It has been confirmed."
The reporter's words made Xu Qianqian first breathe a sigh of relief, feeling reassured that her father was safe, and then she expressed her doubts.
"Then the reason I couldn't contact my father wasn't because something happened to him, but because of my uncle's mischief?"
Xu Qianqian realized this.
"Yes." The person reporting said respectfully, "It seems that the people on the side of the eldest young master have thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the second young master, but the second young master went out as a representative of the high-level officials of Longyao City to discuss important matters with the high-level officials of Yinze City. It concerns the life and death of Longyao City. It is undoubtedly a great crime to attack the second young master now, and the eldest young master cannot bear it."
In other words, considering the consequences of harming Xu Qianqian's father, Xu Qianqian's uncle gave up the idea of taking action against her father.
However, just because we can’t touch the second young master of the Xu family doesn’t mean we can’t touch the eldest young lady Xu Qianqian.
If Xu Qianqian could be eliminated, it would also be a good thing for Xu Qianqian's uncle's faction.
Firstly, the next generation of the Xu family will not have to worry about being led by Xu Qianqian and suppressing all the others. Secondly, Xu Qianqian is the only child under her father. Once she dies, it will be a huge blow to him and his forces.
If this could allow the head of the Xu family to focus his attention back on Xu Yanyan, then the position of the leader of the next generation of the Xu family would undoubtedly make the position of Xu Yanyan's father's faction in the Xu family more secure.
To sum up, the talents on Xu Yanyan's side secretly operated and arranged for Xu Qianqian, one of which was to completely cut off Xu Qianqian's contact with the outside world, leaving her isolated and helpless.
Therefore, it wasn’t that Xu Qianqian couldn’t contact her father, but that all contacts were cut off.
Similarly, Xu Qianqian's father may have tried to contact Xu Qianqian, but those attempts were also intercepted.
This is not a difficult task for a big family like the Xu family.
Even if it was something like a cell phone signal, it would still be easy for them to stop it.
Not to mention, there are many extraordinary items and alchemical props in this world. If you want to cut off a person's signal and make it impossible for him to contact anyone, it is very easy as long as you are willing to invest.
Unfortunately, Xu Qianqian's father had left Longyao City and traveled far away, which caused a great delay in the secret means of communication that the father and daughter had arranged privately, and they could not work immediately.
As a result, Xu Qianqian was left alone and helpless.
"Where's mother? What does grandpa say?"
Xu Qianqian asked these questions again.
"Madam is doing well. She is currently staying at the Xu family. Even the eldest young master does not dare to take action in the Xu family to deal with his own people." The person reporting immediately replied: "The head of the family has accepted the transfer order and has been sent to the front line. He cannot be distracted to deal with other matters."
Xu Qianqian was not surprised by this.
As one of the highest-star hunters in Longyao City, it was impossible for his grandfather not to be called to the front line to participate in the battle at this critical juncture.
The rest of the high-star hunters in the Xu family must have been summoned, which led to the dispersion of the family's power, giving the people from the eldest uncle's faction an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
I just don't know if this was something they had planned for a long time.
Thinking of this, although the situation was still not optimistic, Xu Qianqian felt a lot more relieved.
At least, nothing happened to my father, and that's enough.
Then there is my own problem.
She was the one facing the greatest danger, and Xu Qianqian did not ignore this problem.
"What's the situation with Xu Yanyan now?"
Xu Qianqian would naturally not fail to investigate the enemy's intelligence.
The person who was reporting was also in high spirits, not daring to make a single sound that indicated the slightest negligence.
"Miss Yanyan didn't show any major abnormalities. Both she and the Xu family hunters who were brought to this line of defense followed a strict shift system and kept fighting on the front lines. All the time outside of combat was spent resting. During the rest time, they stayed in their residences and never went out."
Having said this, the person reporting the incident hesitated for a moment, and his tone became uncertain.
"As for Mr. Gao, we have never been able to find any trace of him."
no way.
Gao Xu is not only a senior professional, but also the most important trump card of this line of defense. If he doesn't want others to know his whereabouts, it will be difficult for others to discover him.
Even if they wanted to investigate, people did not dare to be too reckless, for fear that Gao Xu might accidentally discover them and something bad might happen.
Therefore, among all the investigations, only the investigation into Gao Xu has not made any progress.
"Is that so?"
Xu Qianqian murmured.
Gao Xu is not an ordinary person, and it will be difficult to investigate him. Xu Qianqian has already prepared herself mentally for this.
Thanks to this, Xu Qianqian did not feel disappointed, but her heart was becoming increasingly heavy.
To be honest, she was not afraid of Xu Yanyan, nor was she afraid of the Xu family hunters brought by Xu Yanyan.
Even though Xu Yanyan is a three-star hunter and is much stronger than Xu Qianqian who is still studying in the academy, Xu Qianqian still has some means and trump cards that allow her to not be outdone by her.
Xu Qianqian herself also has a group of private soldiers trained by her family. Their quality and ability are very high, and are not necessarily inferior to those Xu family hunters.
The only person who stood out was Gao Xu, someone Xu Qianqian could not think of a way to deal with no matter what.
Unless Xu Qianqian is willing to die together with the other party.
But that is a last resort.
"You guys continue to investigate." Xu Qianqian dismissed the crowd and instructed: "Try to find out Gao Xu's whereabouts, and don't forget to keep a close eye on Xu Yanyan."
""""yes!""""
Everyone took the order and retreated.
Just then, two figures flashed in.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
Like the people before them, they knelt on one knee in front of Xu Qianqian.
But when she saw these two people, Xu Qianqian frowned.
"Why are you back?"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Xu Qianqian questioned out loud.
The ones coming are the returning sound and violence.
"Didn't I ask you to stay with Su Ming and protect him?"
Xu Qianqian's voice was tinged with anger.
This is an extremely rare occurrence in normal times.
Xu Qianqian is used to being cold, so she rarely expresses emotions like anger.
But once she was allowed to do this, it proved that she was really angry.
"I'm sorry, miss."
Yin quickly lowered his head.
"We didn't mean to disobey the young lady's order." Lie Ye quickly spoke up and said, "It was Su Ming himself who asked us to come back."
As he spoke, General Lie told Xu Qianqian everything that Su Ming had said.
He did not add any exaggeration and restored Su Ming's words exactly as they were.
Xu Qianqian's frown did not relax, but her anger subsided.
"So, what Xu Yanyan said is true?" Xu Qianqian whispered to herself, "Is there really a reason why she doesn't dare to touch him casually?"
Xu Qianqian would doubt what Xu Yanyan said, but would not doubt what Su Ming said.
Since Su Ming said so, then this matter is most likely true.
It's just "Who's standing behind him?"
Xu Qianqian started to care about this matter.
However, she didn't worry too much.
After all, Su Ming has always been mysterious, and it's not the first or second time that he has hidden something.
There were already many mysteries surrounding this man, and now there was just one more.
Yin and Lie looked at Xu Qianqian who was deep in thought, and immediately glanced at each other.
"Since Mr. Su doesn't need our protection, we can just focus all our efforts on dealing with Miss Yanyan. This is a good thing, Miss."
Sound said so.
"Yes, yes, yes. They don't need us, so why should we meddle in their affairs?"
Lie quickly agreed.
Xu Qianqian glanced at the two of them.
She knew very well that these two people cared most about their own safety. Being assigned to Su Ming had made them very dissatisfied from the beginning. The current situation was exactly what they had been longing for.
Xu Qianqian was actually not very willing to lose these two fighting forces.
Yin and Lie are the two most outstanding people in Xu Qianqian's private army. Xu Qianqian has great confidence in their strength and ability.
Now that they can come back and there doesn't seem to be any other trouble on Su Ming's side, it is undoubtedly a good thing.
"Forget it." Xu Qianqian sighed and said, "Just go back to the team."
"Yes!" Yin Helie responded happily.
Xu Qianqian withdrew her gaze and took out her cell phone involuntarily.
She clicked on Su Ming's number, looked at the avatar, and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Xu Qianqian seemed to have cut off her attachment and put her phone away again.
At the same time, Su Ming was standing in front of the window of the room, holding a mobile phone, and Xu Qianqian's number appeared on the screen.
He looked at the screen for a long time, and finally put away his phone and confirmed one thing.
"No contact. This girl, is she really not going to ask me for help?"
Su Ming was certain that Xu Qianqian did not want to involve him in her affairs and planned to face the threats posed by Gao Xu and Xu Yanyan alone.
Next, she probably won’t contact Su Ming anymore.
"So stubborn."
Su Ming gave this evaluation.
"Looks like I have a chance to repay the favor."
