This was found by Chen Yun at the antique market; it is said to ward off evil spirits.

However, he bought it simply because he thought it looked nice.

Now, the jade pendant is spinning in his hand.

The next day, Chen Yun drove to the Liu family mansion.

The towering walls, the cold iron gates, and the burly security guards standing guard at the entrance all exuded a menacing aura that kept strangers at bay.

Break in by force?

Chen Yun chuckled; he was no fool.

He found a coffee shop nearby and leisurely sipped his coffee while observing the movements at the Liu family mansion.

He soon discovered that a delivery truck would come and go from the Liu family's house every day.

Chen Yun finished his coffee in one gulp, paid the bill, and left.

He went to a secluded corner where trucks often parked and patiently waited for his target to appear.

Time ticked by, and just as Chen Yun was about to lose patience, a familiar truck finally came into view.

After observing the surrounding environment and confirming that there were no suspicious persons, Chen Yun quietly approached the truck.

Taking advantage of the moment when the driver got out to check, he slipped and hid inside the truck's cargo bed.

The cargo container was dimly lit, and there was a faint musty smell in the air.

Chen Yun frowned. The Liu family looked glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were a den of iniquity.

He was just about to find a more comfortable position to sit down when he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound.

Chen Yun was startled. Could there be someone else?

He held his breath and groped his way towards the sound. In the dim light, he saw a figure huddled in a corner.

"Who's there?" Chen Yun asked in a low voice.

The figure trembled slightly, then slowly raised its head, revealing a delicate face streaked with tears.

Chen Yun was stunned. This woman…

It's Wang Yuyan!

Wang Yuyan was also stunned; she never expected to run into Chen Yun here.

I instinctively tried to shrink back, but found myself in a blind spot.

In a panic, she hugged her arms tightly, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

"You...why are you here?"

Wang Yuyan asked, her voice trembling, barely audible.

Chen Yun looked at the pitiful Wang Yuyan in front of him, and felt a mix of emotions.

He thought the Wang family had been completely wiped out, but he never expected that Wang Yuyan was still alive.

But why was she in the Liu family's truck?

What secret is hidden in this?

"It's a long story."

Chen Yun sighed and sat down next to Wang Yuyan. "And you? Why are you here?"

Wang Yuyan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly began to recount what had happened during this period.

It turned out that after the Wang family was destroyed, she managed to escape, but was constantly being hunted down by the Liu family.

To evade pursuit.

She was forced to live a life of constant hiding and despair.

Today, she was forced to hide in this truck.

As Chen Yun listened to Wang Yuyan's story, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He had only intended to investigate the Liu family's background, but unexpectedly became embroiled in a much larger conspiracy. Looking at the frail Wang Yuyan before him, he felt a strange urge to protect her.

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Yun gently patted Wang Yuyan's shoulder, "I will help you."

Just then, the truck suddenly started and drove towards the Liu family mansion.

The truck bumped along for what seemed like an eternity before finally coming to a stop.

The cargo box was even hotter and more stuffy. Wang Yuyan clung tightly to Chen Yun, and he could feel her trembling.

A cacophony of footsteps and boisterous laughter drifted in from outside.

With a loud bang, the cargo door was suddenly pulled open, and blinding sunlight poured in instantly.

Chen Yun instinctively stood in front of Wang Yuyan, squinting to adjust his eyes to the light.

Several burly men in black appeared at the door.

They were all fierce-looking, like a pack of hungry wolves that had spotted their prey.

"Hey, there are two little mice in here!" A burly man with a face full of scars grinned and reached out to grab Wang Yuyan.

Chen Yun shoved his hand away and said coldly, "Get out of my way!"

The burly man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "You brat, you're asking for death! You're all this way and you still don't understand what's going on?"

As he spoke, he threw a punch at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun sneered, dodged the attack to the side, and slammed a backhand punch into the burly man's stomach.

The burly man grunted.

She clutched her stomach and collapsed.

Seeing this, the other burly men swarmed forward. Chen Yun protected Wang Yuyan, fighting and retreating, using both fists and feet, each move deadly.

The cramped cargo box became his battlefield.

After several rounds, the burly men were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Chen Yun grabbed Wang Yuyan's hand and, taking advantage of the chaos, escaped through the side door of the backyard.

The Liu family mansion was heavily guarded, with patrolling guards everywhere.

Chen Yun, with Wang Yuyan by his side, frowned deeply.

"Chen Yun, can we...can we escape?" Wang Yuyan asked breathlessly, her voice tinged with despair.

Chen Yun held her hand tightly and gave her a firm look: "Don't worry, I will definitely get you out of here!"

Finally, they arrived at the front hall of the Liu family mansion.

At this moment, the front hall is brightly lit, filled with elegant attire and lively conversation, as a grand banquet is being held.

The melodious music and the laughter of the guests filled the air.

It was like a paradise on earth.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Yun had an idea: "It seems that there is always a way out."

He whispered a few words in Wang Yuyan's ear.

Then, taking advantage of the guards' inattention, the two slipped into the dressing room next to the banquet hall.

After changing into waiters' uniforms, Chen Yun and Wang Yuyan carried wine trays and entered the venue casually and nonchalantly.

Chen Yun observed his surroundings while searching for an opportunity to escape.

His gaze fell on Liu Tianxiong, who was sitting in the main seat.

Liu Tianxiong was dressed in a sharp suit.

His face was shiny with oil, and he was chatting and laughing with a mysterious guest.

The guest was dressed in a long black robe and wore a silver mask that covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

He exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

Chen Yun felt a chill run down his spine; this person was no ordinary individual.

Suddenly, the masked man's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Chen Yun.

Chen Yun felt a sudden chill, a coldness shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He quickly lowered his head and pretended to tidy up the wine tray.

The masked man's gaze lingered on Chen Yun for a moment before shifting away.

Chen Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He carried the wine tray, walked to Liu Tianxiong's side, and bent down to pour the wine.

Chen Yun's hand trembled slightly as he dropped the brown pill into Liu Tianxiong's wine glass.

The pill dissolved quickly, releasing a faint, pleasant fragrance.

It was quickly masked by the rich aroma of wine around it.

He stepped back without making a sound, standing at his sides like a dutiful waiter.

Liu Tianxiong picked up his wine glass, clinked glasses with the masked man, and drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Yun's gaze was fixed on him, like a cheetah poised to pounce.
