"Dad, why are you hiding behind Huanhuan?" Liu Muyan said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.

Mr. Liu coughed lightly, looking embarrassed: "Otherwise what? Your dad isn't as good at fighting as her..."

"Dad, you..." Liu Muyan wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't know how to say it, so she could only sigh helplessly.

At this moment, Liu Shaohua stood up, blocking Jiang Huan's way, and looked at the uninvited guests with a serious expression, "Are you also here to arrest my sister?"

“No,” the leader said.

Jiang Huan looked away from the token, stepped aside, passed Liu Shaohua, and walked in front of the Liu family members, looking at the group of people who had appeared with a complicated expression.

Five people in total.

All five were dressed in Tang suits, and each of them wore a half-face silver mask, revealing only their mouths and eyes, making it impossible to see their faces.

"People from the Netherworld Palace?"

Upon hearing Jiang Huan's words, the leader nodded: "That's right."

"Are they enemies or friends?" Jiang Huan sized up the five of them.

"Neither friend nor foe, I accepted the commission, came here, and left my mark."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan curled the corners of her lips and said, "Then... take care."

The five men were surprised that Jiang Huan didn't ask any more questions. They had practiced their responses to her repeatedly on the way here, but they hadn't used a single word.

"that's it?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Huan shrugged. "Since you're neither friend nor foe, do you expect me to keep you here for a late-night snack?"

Five people:"……"

Great! It's truly unique.

No wonder the Palace Master likes it so much!

"But we know you've recovered. Aren't you worried we'll tell others?" the leader asked.

Jiang Huan raised an eyebrow, her face calm as still water. "Although I don't know what's going on with your Netherworld Palace, if you want to tell others about my recovery, then you're my enemies. Since you've said that you're neither friend nor foe, let's analyze this: you won't tell anyone; you'll just pretend you've never seen me here."

This explanation stunned all five of them.

That's a simplistic explanation!

However, that is indeed the case.

They really had to pretend they hadn't seen Jiang Huan here.

"As expected of the Fifth Miss, her quick wit is truly admirable."

"Since you admire me, why don't you work for me? I won't shortchange you on food and drink."

"..."

Jiang Huan's words froze the five men's sycophantic expressions on their faces.

I've seen people kidnapped before, but I've never seen anyone kidnap someone so blatantly!

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Fifth. Goodbye."

The five of them were sweating bullets, thinking that if they didn't leave soon, the Palace Master might really have to send someone to protect her.

How boring!

The five of them appeared so fresh and lovely, said a few words so fresh and lovely, and then left so fresh and lovely.

As the saying goes, he waved his sleeves and left without taking away a single cloud, but he left behind a token.

However, after the five people left, several more people came in, and judging from their attire, they were from the Netherworld Palace.

They dragged out all those who had been knocked unconscious by Jiang Huan.

As for how to deal with it, Jiang Huan didn't care too much. Anyway, these people didn't have any ill intentions towards her, so there was no need to pay them any attention.

Besides, it's good to have someone help clean up the mess.

"What...what do we do now?" Looking at the mess on the ground, Liu's father felt a chill in his heart. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to lose his life.

Upon seeing this, Liu Shaohua said irritably, "Dad, can you stop being such a coward? Your son is right here, I can protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu's father said sheepishly, "With your limited abilities, if it weren't for the Fifth Miss, would you be confident you could protect us if we really faced that group of people?"

“I…” Liu Shaohua was speechless and shut his mouth bitterly.

indeed.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this eighteen-year-old girl possessed such extraordinary abilities.

Jiang Huan walked to the window, lifted the curtain, looked at the unconscious bodyguard in the courtyard outside, and then looked up at the sky.

It was already dark.

The Lu family started their operation as soon as it got dark, which means the Liu family's location has been exposed.

If she guessed correctly, the Lu family hadn't received any news yet, so they must have already started arranging for a second wave of people to come. It wasn't a good time to stay here any longer.

"You should leave here as soon as possible, and I will take care of the rest."

"Leaving now?" Mr. Liu was taken aback. "So soon?"

“If we don’t leave now, there will probably be another fierce battle tonight.” Jiang Huan lowered the curtains and turned to look at the Liu family. “If you trust me, I will arrange for someone to escort you abroad. Don’t come back for the next three months.”

"Why three months?" Liu Shaohua asked, puzzled.

Jiang Huan remained unfazed: "Because three months is enough time for me to clean up the Lu family."

The Liu family remained silent.

Her confidence and ability made them all feel inferior.

"Huanhuan, please let me go back to the Jiang family with you. I can help you. I can help you investigate anything you want. Just let me go back to the Jiang family with you..." Liu Muyan pleaded.

She returned the only memento Xuan had left her to Jiang Huan; she truly didn't want to forget Xuan...

"Sister, are you crazy? Brother Yuxuan is already dead. What can you do at the Jiang family? Besides, the Jiang family... the Jiang family is even more dangerous than the Liu family. You are good in the internet industry, but you don't know martial arts. How are you going to protect yourself? Sister, please wake up!" Liu Shaohua grabbed Liu Muyan's shoulders and shook her hard, saying with exasperation.

He knew that his sister and Brother Yuxuan had a very good relationship.

But now that Brother Yuxuan is gone, his sister is still young, and the Jiang family is also a piece of meat in the mouths of wolves. If his sister goes to the Jiang family, she will undoubtedly put herself in danger!

"It's alright, I'm not afraid of dying. I believe that with you and Mumu at home, you can take good care of Dad." Liu Muyan raised her hand and touched Liu Shaohua's face.

She wasn't brave enough before, and could only contact Brother Xuan in private.

Now, she wants to be braver.

"sister……"

"No way!" Father Liu shook his head. "I don't agree! If you really want to go to the Jiang family, then don't acknowledge me as your father!"

He just couldn't understand why his daughter would care so much about a dead man!

“Dad…” Liu Muyan’s eyes were filled with tears, “Dad, I’m sorry, I…”

"Alright!" Jiang Huan couldn't help but interrupt, rubbing her aching temples. "Stop arguing here, hurry up and pack your things, wake up Liu Mumu and let's go together!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Muyan's eyes were filled with astonishment and despair: "Huanhuan, you won't even let me go back to the Jiang family with you?"

Jiang Huan was really at her wit's end. "It's not that I don't want you to go back, but your brother is right. What if you encounter danger if you go back to the Jiang family?"

"I'm not afraid of death..."

"I'm scared! I'm scared you'll die!" Jiang Huan's voice rose, slightly agitated. "You're the person my elder brother loved most, and his last wish was definitely to protect you. How could I face my brother if I let you get into danger?"

Liu Muyan bit her lower lip, looking aggrieved, and clenched her fists. After a few seconds of silence, she looked up. "I will protect myself. I will never let myself fall into danger. Besides, I know you're hiding your recovery because you want to secretly find those people. I can help you! I'm ranked fifth on the global hacker list. I'm confident in my abilities. I—"

Seeing Liu Muyan's persistence, Jiang Huan took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know who is ranked first?"

Liu Muyan was taken aback: "I don't know. There's only one code name, called...H."
