Meng Xinian has departed for Ke Ku Li, causing worry among the Jiang family. Despite this, Old Master Jiang expresses confidence in Meng Xinian's abilities and discusses plans to support Cheng Cheng's promotion. He reflects happily on having a fuller family during meals and wishes to live long enough to see Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian's children. Chiang Xiao arranges to meet with Chen Baoshen to discuss the health of Old Master Jiang and Jiang Shiheng, and Old Master Jiang instructs Jiang Shiheng to help Chiang Xiao settle into her new courtyard. The next day, Chiang Xiao plans to renovate her courtyard into a study and art studio. Meanwhile, rumors favor the Jiang family, and a strategically placed remark by Doctor Chen suggests Old Master Lu's health is not as fragile as implied, aiming to counter the pressure on the Jiang family.

"Very well. I doubt he will be able to stay here today, and once he’s discharged, he should return to the Jiang Family. Keep someone on him, ensure outside information doesn’t easily get through."

They all live at the Jiang Family’s place; if they allow easy and quick information from the Lu Family to pass freely, wouldn’t that be humiliating?

Old Master Jiang used to be polite to the Lu Family’s people; now he’s not going to be.

"If you find someone who’s not publicly associated with Old Master Lu entering, don’t hesitate—grab them."

"Yes."

"Is there any news from the side following that woman?"

"It’s been tracked; that woman frequents the church."

The church?

D State has a church with quite a bit of history, even Chiang Xiao knows about it. That church is considered another tourist spot in D State.

She didn’t know who the woman being followed by Jiang Shiheng was, but she remained silent, listening quietly.

Listening to Jiang Shiheng handle these matters was indeed different from his refined, elegant appearance.

But she thought it was better this way.

She was tired of soft personalities.

Like herself in her past life, like her grandparents.

Perhaps she became similar in character to them due to their education in her previous life. But after being reborn, her personality finally aligned with her father’s, influenced by genetics.

"Our people didn’t follow inside because many female school students are temporarily staying at the church, saying they’re just out participating in activities, so it would be inconvenient for men to enter."

Yue Yang said.

Chiang Xiao raised her hand immediately upon hearing this.

"What needs to be investigated? I’ll go."

Jiang Shiheng glanced at her, "Stay put."

There’s no way he’d let her go, not with the risk of her being seen by those people.

Yue Yang smiled, "Miss, we have women in our ranks too, don’t worry about that."

So they have female bodyguards too?

Chiang Xiao was a bit surprised.

"Alright."

"Our people will sneak in by noon. Sixth Young Master, if they find that woman, should we capture her for interrogation or continue to monitor her?"

Jiang Shiheng pondered for a moment.

The women disguised as Senior Masters he saw that day seemed well-trained and were indeed Lu Shuangshuang’s confidants. Those people might not easily disclose the truth.

Moreover, forcing the truth out of a woman is something he likely couldn’t do.

Seeing his expression, Chiang Xiao raised her hand again, "Are you trying to get information from someone?"

"The person was by Lu Shuangshuang’s side that day. We need to find Lu Shuangshuang’s whereabouts now; we must find her regardless, so outsiders won’t truly believe Lu Shuangshuang was kidnapped in D State by the Jiang Family’s enemies."

Additionally, if the Lu Family manages to bring Lu Shuangshuang back, they will become very passive again.

"Lu Shuangshuang’s people?" Chiang Xiao’s heart stirred.

Lu Shuangshuang will certainly wait for the right timing to come out, pretending her family rescued her. Then, she might play the fool convincingly enough to garner sympathy from many unaware onlookers.

People are like this, sympathizing with the weak, and often only trusting what they see, not pursuing the real truth.

Therefore, they must locate Lu Shuangshuang before that opportune moment.

Moreover, she would absolutely give that woman a good beating.

Her father didn’t have a habit of hitting women, but she didn’t mind having one herself.
