Hua Qingyun sighed softly and showed the information her assistant had sent to Hua Changle:
"This is the information on the people we were just following, which Feng Tao helped investigate. None of them are easy to deal with."
Clicking on the document reveals several profiles of individuals.
"Dog Three, Vulture, Master Leng, Poor Ghost, Zhao Yu..."
Hua Changle looked over and let out a muffled laugh.
"Wow! Good heavens, they're either the second-in-command or core members of their faction. We just showed our faces, and they've already drawn their swords!"
“Master Leng,” Hua Qingyun pointed to the gray-clad man above.
“He has already contacted me, saying that he was entrusted by Anning and will talk to me later. Through Changfeng Pavilion and the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, we can obtain more accurate information.”
"But we can't completely trust them either," Hua Changle said cautiously.
“The connections between District 7 and those shady industries are deeper than I imagined. Before we could even express our stance, they couldn’t hold back and started protesting, which shows that things are really complicated here.”
"That must be a huge pie, with countless forces and people involved."
"Whether it's the Cultural Heritage Bureau or Changfeng Pavilion, they are both local forces. Helping them is one thing, but if we accept their help and then turn around and undermine their foundations, we will inevitably suffer a backlash."
Hua Changle pulled at his hair in exasperation: "We can't just take everything in one go like this; we have to be careful about how we handle it."
Hua Qingyun was not surprised by this situation, but she was also a little worried, though she didn't show it.
He gently removed Hua Changle's hand from her hair and comforted her:
"But on the other hand, they are all pragmatic people who can see what the region wants and will make concessions to us. As long as we don't go too far, we can find evidence against the She family and bring them down, and those businesses will naturally decrease."
"Rome wasn't built in a day; we have to take it slow."
Hua Changle nodded.
"Brother, shall we still stick to the plan tomorrow?"
According to the plan, Hua Qingyun will use her business with the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau to go to the southern city where the Eagle Hall is located to investigate the She family.
Hua Changle, on the other hand, stayed at the Central City Cultural Relics Protection Bureau under the pretext of his health, and used the excuse of going out to investigate Yue Ningchu's affairs.
Hua Qingyun nodded and said, "Proceed as planned. Tomorrow, I will leave four people for you."
This time, the two bodyguards brought eight others with them.
These eight were not ordinary bodyguards, but rather elite members of the Hua family, including two eighth-rank and six seventh-rank members, whose combat strength was considerable.
"No, brother, bring two more."
Hua Changle said, "Since you've drawn the main firepower this time, if they make any moves, they'll definitely target you first, depending on your attitude."
"Go to the South City. The South City is different from the Central City. There are many people from the Eagle Hall there, and you never know what might happen. Take more people with you."
"As for me, you don't need to worry about me."
Firstly, I have people from the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau protecting me, so I'll stay here for now and won't go anywhere else, which minimizes the danger;
Secondly, I have other helpers who will arrive tonight.
Hua Qingyun was taken aback: "What other helpers?"
Hua Changle looked him straight in the eye and said, "Ye Buqi arranged for her people to come and protect me."
Hua Qingyun paused for a moment, his gaze visibly shifting to the left before returning to normal, his expression returning to normal.
He showed no surprise at Ye Buqi's actions and instead displayed absolute trust in him:
"With her around, I don't have to worry so much."
Hua Changle hummed in agreement.
But in his heart he was thinking:
It seems that everyone in the Hua family knows that her relationship with Ye Buqi is extraordinary, and they all believe that Ye Buqi would not harm her.
However, she herself couldn't remember their relationship.
Hua Changle's earliest memory of Ye Buqi was their childhood meeting in a dream.
She was certain she had met Ye Buqi when she was a child, but...
So, is it Chang Le's childhood, or the original owner Hua Chang Le's childhood?
If it's the former, then in which world does she, Chang Le, actually exist?
Hua Changle's head started to ache more and more the more she thought about it.
Seeing this, Hua Qingyun advised her to go and rest first, saying that she would let her know if anything came up.
Hua Changle had a splitting headache, so she had no choice but to lie down on the bed and clear her mind.
She forced herself not to think about Ye Buqi, not to explore those messy memories, and to focus her attention on the matter at hand.
She picked up the communicator and opened her communication history with Ye Buqi.
The last message I received this morning was from Ye Buqi. She said she was worried about the situation in District Seven and had sent a capable person to protect her. She then sent a photo and information about the person.
The image above shows a woman with short purple hair.
With sharp eyebrows and eyes, a prominent nose, and a dashing demeanor, she possesses a heroic beauty.
The soft jawline and cherry-red lips soften this heroic spirit, creating a charming yet refined temperament.
Her name was written below:
"iris."
...
District Nine, Dragon Scale Society.
In the iris garden, stood a refined-looking man and a purple-haired woman.
It was Luo Xuan and Iris, who were in charge of the Dragon Scale Society.
These two people were the same two Ye Buqi sent to rescue Hua Changle when she was attacked and kidnapped in the Ninth District.

Iris watched as Luo Xuan watered the flowers for her, and pouted, "I'm leaving soon, aren't you going to say anything?"
Luo Xuan looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't we already give you all the information and instructions last night?"
Iris narrowed her eyes: "That's not it! You have a problem!"
What's wrong with me?
