After the man was arrested, Su Yun finally saw his true colors—it was Wen Yan! The man who claimed to be her brother. Hadn't they already gone to a foreign land? How could they have returned so quietly at this time? And why were they appearing so furtively and mysteriously near her family's manor? What was going on? Countless questions surged into Su Yun's mind like a tide, swirling and refusing to leave.

Just then, Mu Chen returned to the manor with steady, powerful steps. When he saw the captured man before him, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Logically, this person should be overseas at this moment; why had he suddenly appeared in the country? Moreover, he had clearly been secretly monitoring his every move!

Mu Chen frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, decisively ordered the butler to take Wen Yan to the basement. Soon after, a series of crisp, loud whipping sounds echoed from the basement. Surprisingly, despite this torture, Wen Yan clenched her teeth and didn't utter a single groan.

Not long after, Mu Chen emerged slowly from the basement with a gloomy expression. But when he saw Su Yun standing not far away, her face full of worry, his expression instantly softened into a gentle and doting smile. He quickly walked to her side and softly comforted her, "Su Su, don't be afraid. Based on my initial assessment, this guy didn't come for you this time. I'm guessing he's probably just bait sent by a competitor to deliberately cause trouble. Wen Yan is now a puppet controlled by them. But don't worry, I'll personally escort you back to the old house tomorrow to rest and recuperate. After all, the security measures there are much more stringent than here. There are many people in the family, so it's easier for everyone to look after each other. That way, even if I go out to handle work matters, I can feel much more at ease."

Su Su frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her expression, and said, "You don't really need to worry too much about my situation. I do possess some magic, but it seems to have diminished somewhat since I became pregnant. However, dealing with some everyday troubles is still no problem! Besides, look at our little black dog, it's incredibly clever. It must have eaten plenty of those precious fish in the pond. In my opinion, its cultivation level might have already surpassed mine! So, the one who really needs to worry is you. As far as I know, the competitor has clearly started making moves. If we don't take necessary countermeasures, we'll probably remain in a passive and disadvantageous position."

Mu Chen gently reached out and stroked Su Yun's head, comforting her, "Darling, only by making sure you're properly settled can I focus all my energy on dealing with this crisis. Trust me, I'll arrange for the butler to escort you back to the old house tomorrow. You know, a new residence has been built behind the main house. It's a quiet and peaceful place, perfect for recuperation. We'll live there then, having our own private space, and you won't feel restricted or uncomfortable at all."

Su Yun nodded slightly in agreement. She knew that only by following Mu Chen's arrangements could she allow him to handle the company's thorny problems with peace of mind.

Just as Su Yun was methodically packing her luggage, a luxury car slowly drove into the manor. The car door opened, and Mother Mu stepped out. She looked somewhat tired, clearly having not slept well the night before. Ever since learning that Mu Chen was going to explain the whole story, Mother Mu had been on tenterhooks, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Mother Mu brought several capable helpers and a vehicle full of luggage with her this time. They worked quickly and skillfully, and in no time, all the items they usually needed were neatly packed away.

"Su Su, come and take a look!" Mother Mu waved warmly to Su Yun, saying, "This is a small courtyard that we specially built for you a few years ago. The environment is beautiful and quiet. It will be very convenient for you to live here permanently in the future. Moreover, this courtyard is quite large, and there is plenty of space to move around. I have had all the furniture, daily necessities, and everything else arranged in advance." Mother Mu proudly introduced the carefully prepared courtyard.

Su Yun smiled and stepped forward, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Mom. You've gone to so much trouble! You've thought of everything so thoroughly." Although she spoke politely, she felt very warm inside from Mu's mother's thoughtful care.

Just then, sunlight streamed into the spacious courtyard, where Aunt Hu and Yueyue were busily working. They carefully settled the adorable little black and white dogs in suitable spots, ensuring they could move around comfortably. Then, without pausing, the two began unpacking and organizing the mountain of luggage.

Meanwhile, a maid in a neat uniform walked lightly to Madam Mu's side. She leaned down slightly, whispered something in her ear, and Madam Mu nodded gently, indicating she understood. Then, she smiled, waved to everyone, and hurried away.

Su Yun looked around curiously at this unfamiliar yet strangely familiar place. He noticed that the decor was quite similar to that magnificent manor, with every detail exuding exquisite luxury. Even the fish in the pond were Xiao Hei's favorite species—clearly, this was carefully arranged. Thinking of this, Su Yun felt a warmth in his heart, realizing how thoughtful the hosts were!

Su Yun slowly walked to the soft sofa and sat down wearily to rest for a while. He watched Aunt Hu and Yueyue busily moving between the rooms, shaking his head helplessly, thinking that he really couldn't help at all here! Fortunately, the two little guys, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, seemed very satisfied with their new environment. They chased and played happily in the room, and soon they had completely adapted to everything here.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden rays onto the living room sofa. Su Su sat there quietly, her eyes slightly closed, her body rising and falling gently with her breath, seemingly having entered a light sleep.

Just then, Yueyue came out of the kitchen. She immediately saw Susu dozing on the sofa and quickly tiptoed over to her, calling softly, "Sister Susu, wake up! Don't fall asleep here, you'll catch a cold."
