Chiang Xiao decides to return with Grandpa Chen, leaving her bodyguard Sun Han behind to monitor the situation. Meanwhile, two women infiltrate a chapel filled with uniformed girls in search of a specific target, using a staged mouse sighting to scan the crowd.

It’s her!

Indeed, she was concealed within this gathering of students!

It appears she had anticipated their pursuit, so initially, she remained inactive, blending into this group of young ladies with the intention of evading them.

Without hesitation, she moved towards that woman.

The moment she sensed the shift, the woman’s expression altered, and she attempted to flee indoors.

"Apprehend her!"

This was their inaugural assignment under Sixth Young Master, and its flawless execution was paramount; failure would mean shame in the eyes of Uncle Yang and Sixth Young Master alike.

Consequently, amid the girls' terrified shrieks, they acted like two nimble leopards, zeroing in on their quarry and swiftly descending upon her with astonishing speed.

Years of rigorous training had honed their abilities.

The woman, disoriented and in a panic, sent several chairs tumbling, attempting to impede their progress.

They vaulted over the obstructions, their bodies fluid as swallows, launching themselves towards their target in unison.

Simultaneously, the two of them brought the woman crashing to the ground.

"What?"

Lu Shuangshuang jolted upright immediately.

"You claim Butterfly has been apprehended? Since when did you all become so inept? Has your incompetence always been this profound, or has it worsened over these past few uneventful years?"

Lu Shuangshuang clenched her teeth, her gaze fixed on Fei Cui, who stood before her.

The sight of that face ignited a fierce hatred within her soul.

Despite having meticulously shaped that woman and her features, an intense loathing persisted.

Yes, the very same brat from yesteryear—wasn't it with this identical face that she had sabotaged her schemes and shattered her life?

"I merely dispatched her to deliver a message to my grandfather, yet she was followed, failed her mission, and now she has been captured?"

The more Lu Shuangshuang contemplated the situation, the more her fury escalated. "And what if she succumbs to pressure and divulges my location?"

Fei Cui bowed her head slightly and responded, "This is a result of Fei Cui's insufficient oversight. However, Eldest Miss, I assure you, Butterfly is bound by strict oaths; no matter the methods employed against her, she will safeguard the secret unflinchingly, even unto death!"

She spoke with considerable conviction on this matter.

This unwavering loyalty was precisely what Lu Shuangshuang relied upon—their stringent training emphasized absolute silence, forbidding any disclosure of their affairs.

It was this very discretion that had enabled Lu Shuangshuang to maintain her impeccable reputation through the years.

"To ensure our safety, I believe we should relocate with haste," another woman voiced, a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Fei Cui cast a sideward glance at her.

Lu Shuangshuang, likewise, clenched her jaw. "Do you mistake this locale for Pingzhou? We remain within the Jiang family's domain; do you imagine it is simple to find a sanctuary entirely beyond their reach?"

Therefore, a spontaneous relocation was not a viable option.

Their oversight regarding Sixth Young Master Jiang's escape had left them unprepared for such a contingency; in these circumstances, securing a secure haven was already a formidable challenge.

At present, the entirety of D State was undoubtedly scouring for her; stepping outside would guarantee immediate detection.

Such a suggestion was utterly impractical.

Thus, Lu Shuangshuang placed all her hopes on Butterfly's unwavering silence, trusting her to keep her lips sealed and divulge nothing under any circumstances.

"As Butterfly possesses the most resolute silence among us, it is why I entrusted her with the vital message to the old master. Eldest Miss, rest assured, she will not betray us. It is merely a pity for Butterfly."
