So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Inside the Chen family mansion, the patriarch of the Chen family tightly held the letter for help sent by Chen Yan, his face ashen and his eyes full of anger.

He cursed under his breath.

"This brat, does he think his life is too long? He has to wade into this muddy water!"

Seeing this, the subordinates nearby couldn't help but give some advice.

"Master, didn't the young master say... Miss Ling Wu was framed? The young master has always hated evil, if there was something wrong with Miss Ling Wu, there would be no way the two of them would have known each other."

The Chen family's patriarch's anger subsided a little after hearing this, but his brows were still furrowed. He sighed.

"Never mind, gather the elders and discuss matters."

He knew that he understood Chen Yan's character. Since Chen Yan chose to believe Ling Jiuan and go with her, there must be a reason.

He couldn't just sit there and do nothing, otherwise Chen Yan's safety would be threatened.

So he quickly summoned the elders of the Chen family and informed them of the content of Chen Yan's letter for help.

After hearing this, the elders expressed their concern and began to discuss countermeasures.

They knew that this matter not only concerned Chen Yan's safety, but also the reputation and position of the Chen family.

They must handle this with caution and not allow any mistakes.

Finally, after discussion among the elders, the head of the Chen family decided to send an elite team to support Chen Yan and Ling Jiuan.

They not only have to ensure Chen Yan's safety, but also have to find out the truth of the matter and clear Ling Jiuan's grievances.

At the same time, they also have to make the Chen family's position and attitude clear to the outside world, and they will never sit idly by and allow others to bully them.

Ling Jiuan looked at Chen Yan with a complicated expression, including gratitude and helplessness.

She sighed.

"Look at you. Not only did you wade into this mess yourself, but you also dragged the Chen family into it. Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Chen Yan didn't care and just shrugged.

"I can't help it. I am the only son of my father. If he doesn't care about me, the Chen family will have no future. I can't just watch the family he worked so hard to build be destroyed, right?"

Ling Jiuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"You really are so fearless when you are favored! You know he will be worried, but you still do this."

Chen Yan responded without hesitation.

"Yes, you are not taken seriously, and your life or death is unpredictable! I can't just watch you being hunted down and do nothing, right? Besides, we are friends, aren't we?"

Ling Jiuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and spoke in a bad mood.

"Well said, don't say it next time, I'm afraid I'll slap you. But thank you anyway, Chen Yan. I feel pretty good with you around."

Chen Yan chuckled and patted his chest.

"Of course, I'm here, don't worry! We will definitely return to Spark City safely!"

The next day, Liu Zhu went out and saw the wanted warrants posted on the streets, feeling extremely anxious.

She really couldn't sit still, so she rushed back to Jiu'an Hall and found Liuying.

"Liuying, let's go find the head of the family!"

Liu Zhu said anxiously.

Liuying did not refuse, she understood that the current situation was urgent.

So the two of them went to Ling Changfeng's yard together.

Since they were brought up by Ling Jiuan's mother, it was obviously much easier for them to meet Ling Changfeng than for others.

Soon, they were called in.

When Ling Changfeng saw them, he looked indifferent, as if he had expected all this.

"Are you here for Jiuan's matter?"

he asked coldly.

Liuying nodded, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

"Yes, Master. The master is Madam's own flesh and blood. Don't you care about our old relationship at all?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Changfeng sneered, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said in a deep voice.

"If I didn't care about our old relationship, she would have died long ago! Do you think I let her wander around for so many years just for fun?"

His words revealed a sense of helplessness and pain, as if hiding unknown secrets and difficulties.

Upon hearing this, Liuzhu and Liuying looked at each other, feeling even more confused and uneasy.

They didn't understand why the master of the house was so cold to his master, but he didn't seem to be completely heartless.

But at a time of life and death, this ruthlessness is not enough.

Liuying sneered when she heard this.

She looked directly at Ling Changfeng without fear, with a hint of sarcasm and accusation in her tone.

"If the patriarch really cared about the old friendship, the master wouldn't have such a hard time! Now the streets are full of the master's wanted warrants, but the patriarch sits back and does nothing. Is this what they call caring about the old friendship?"

Her words were like a sharp sword, touching the pain deep in Changfeng's heart.

Ling Changfeng's face turned gloomy in an instant. He widened his eyes and glared at Liuying as if he wanted to devour her.

However, Liuying did not back down.

"Master, you may have your own difficulties and considerations, but the master is also your flesh and blood! She is in danger now, don't you feel sorry for her at all?"

As she spoke, Liuying's eyes turned red and her voice had a hint of tears.

She really felt sorry and heartbroken for Ling Jiuan, and she really hoped that Ling Changfeng could lend a helping hand and help Ling Jiuan get through this difficult time.

Ling Changfeng looked at Liuying, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a complex emotion.

He was silent for a moment, then finally sighed.

"You guys go down. I'll think about it."

Upon hearing this, Liuying and Liuzhu looked at each other.

They knew that this was the best answer Ling Changfeng could give.

So they bowed respectfully and left Ling Changfeng's yard.

As soon as the two of them walked out of Ling Changfeng's yard, they met Ling Jiurong head-on.

They called her "Fourth Miss" respectfully, but they felt mixed emotions.

Ling Jiurong sneered, with disdain and ridicule in her eyes.

"You are my mother's people. You knew that Ling Jiuan had killed my mother, but you still wanted to protect her."

Liuying looked at Ling Jiurong and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Did Fourth Miss forget? Before Madam passed away, she told you and the young master to love your sister. Now the head of the family doesn't care, and the young master is missing. Not only do you not help, but you also speak so coldly to her. It's really chilling."

Ling Jiurong looked unhappy. She widened her eyes and glared at Liuying.

"Is Ling Jiuan worthy of it?"

She cursed through gritted teeth.

"A loser who killed his mother is worthy of my love?"

Liu Zhu listened at the side, feeling extremely anxious.

She couldn't help but interrupt.

"Fourth Miss, no matter what, the master is your sister! She is in danger now, can't you lend a helping hand?"

Ling Jiurong sneered and turned away.

“I don’t have such a sister.”

Liuying and Liuzhu looked at Ling Jiurong's departing back, feeling helpless.

They knew that it was almost impossible to get help from Ling Jiurong.

Even Ling Jiurong not crossing her legs was already good enough.
