As soon as the two of them stepped onto the stairs, the nanny followed them to look for Ren Jinting. Ren Jinting hurried upstairs, but found only an empty room. Lu Chenguang and Chuchu had disappeared.
Ren Jinting knew there was something different about Chuchu, and she also sensed a hint of something different about her son. But at this moment, she didn't dare to delve into it and could only say to the nanny, "Forget it, leave them alone. They're probably just out having fun somewhere and will be back soon."
The nanny looked worried and said, "Miss Chuchu said that Miss Song was in danger and she had to go back."
Ren Jinting's expression suddenly changed when she heard this: "Sister Yaqing is in danger? How is this possible! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The nanny lowered her head in disappointment and dared not say anything more.
Ren Jinting was extremely anxious and hurriedly called her son. As soon as the call was connected, she asked anxiously: "Shen Guang, what happened? What happened to your Aunt Yaqing? Did she encounter any danger? Why didn't you tell me the first time?"
Lu Chenguang rubbed his forehead gently on the other end of the phone, his tone somewhat helpless: "Mom, it's okay, don't worry. Aunt Yaqing is not in danger, she just had a friend come to the house."
"Friends? What friends?" Ren Jinting was still worried.
Lu Chenguang was silent for a moment before he said calmly, "A man named Chai."
"Chai Jingwen?" Ren Jinting exclaimed.
"Yes, it's her." Lu Chenguang confirmed.
Ren Jinting breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in her heart was not completely dissipated: "Okay, I understand. But you still have to be careful and don't put yourself in danger, understand?"
Lu Chenguang replied impatiently, "I know, Mom. I'll be careful." After that, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenguang sighed softly, his eyes revealing a depth and maturity beyond his years. Although his mother's concern made him feel warm, he did not like the feeling of being overly interfered with.
The two of them had quietly returned to Chuchu's room. As soon as the door closed, Lu Chenguang alertly observed the movements around him. Chuchu looked helpless, spreading her hands and shrugging her shoulders.
"It's true that human mothers care about their children." Chu Chu sighed, "There's a huge difference between your demon world and our underworld."
Lu Chenguang listened quietly to the sounds around him, frowning slightly. "Your intuition is correct. There is indeed danger here. I feel that there are many people ambushing in front of and behind the house."
"Obviously, this Aunt Chai has offended some power." Lu Chenguang analyzed, looking at Chuchu at the same time, "Do you know what exactly happened?"
Chuchu nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I just heard the conversation between my mother and Aunt Chai. Yes, she has offended Secretary Hai. Aunt Chai's son is actually Secretary Hai's. Now that she has violated the original agreement, Secretary Hai will definitely not let her go."
"She chose to come to Mom, which invisibly brought danger to Mom." Chu Chu continued, her tone revealing her concern for Song Yaqing.
Lu Chenguang pondered for a moment and roughly understood the situation. "So, this Hai has done a lot of bad things, and Ms. Song is in danger because she knows too much?"
Chu Chu nodded, her eyes firm as she said, "That's right, that idiot Mayor Zhou was indeed the one who did it."
After hearing this, Lu Chenguang's eyes flashed with a chill, and he said in a deep voice: "So, Secretary Hai is indeed a powerful figure, with ruthless methods, and should not be underestimated."
Chu Chu nodded in agreement, as if she had thought of something, and added: "He must have taken a lot of lives. I remember that last winter, Uncle Gu suddenly returned to Rongjing. I guess it was related to Secretary Hai."
Lu Chenguang was extremely intelligent and immediately understood the connection. He asked in surprise, "Are you saying that the richest man, Gu Yechen, was also subdued by this human named Hai?"
Chu Chu sighed and nodded helplessly, "Yes, although Uncle Gu is powerful, Secretary Hai's influence in the political world cannot be underestimated. It may not be easy for Uncle Gu to completely break free from his control. And the late Mayor Zhou said that people with the surname Hai have connections in both the black and white worlds."
Lu Chenguang hummed softly and said, "Now that you're back, you should get some rest. I'm afraid it won't be very peaceful tonight."
Sure enough, in the silence of two o'clock in the morning, Chu Chu and Lu Chenguang both clearly heard the strange noises coming from outside.
Someone was knocking on the door and lied that he was a neighbor and said he was here to check the wiring.
Song Yaqing was filled with panic, but on the surface she tried to remain calm. She mustered her courage and said loudly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
The people outside the door seemed to be intimidated by her firm tone and were silent for a moment. Song Yaqing took the opportunity to whisper to Sister Li beside her: "Sister Li, are the doors locked?"
Mrs. Li nodded in confirmation. "Everything is locked, ma'am. They shouldn't be able to force their way in, right?"
Despite saying so, they both knew in their hearts that a locked door couldn't guarantee safety for those who would resort to any means necessary. And in this long, dark night, they could only rely on each other, closely watching the movements outside, praying that dawn would bring a little peace.
Chai Jingwen hadn't had a good night's sleep for a week. At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, having nightmares, with a furrowed brow and a pale face.
Chu Chu couldn't bear to let Song Yaqing fall into danger, so she decided to use her long-forgotten magic power.
Although doing so might expose her whereabouts and bring unknown dangers, Chuchu no longer cared about that.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to chant the spell. As the spell sounded, a powerful energy began to surge in her body, gradually spreading throughout the room.
After a while, the divine beast Qingtian appeared before Chuchu. He had now finished recuperating in the underworld and now transformed into a human form. He knelt at Chuchu's feet and said respectfully, "Please give your instructions, Princess."
Chuchu opened her eyes and looked at Qingtian, her voice firm and calm: "Scare away all those humans outside. Then you appear in front of Ms. Song. From now on, you will live here temporarily and protect the safety of her family."
Tian nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but ask, "Princess Di, is it really worth it to expose your whereabouts just to protect a few humans?"
