Chiang Xiao decides to take matters into her own hands, wanting to confront Lu Shuangshuang directly. Meanwhile, Lu Junyou and Old Master Lu are worried about Lu Shuangshuang's safety, as their communication has been cut off and Jiang Shiheng's forces are on the move.

"Thank you, Old Master."

Lu Junyou's words were spoken slowly.

Old Master Lu placed a hand on his shoulder. "I have witnessed all your actions throughout the years, Junyou. Though you and Shuangshuang share a familial connection, it is now beyond the fifth degree of kinship, so it should not pose a significant issue."

"Yes."

"Upon your return, ensure you undergo a comprehensive medical examination. Shuangshuang has already been assessed and there are no abnormalities with her. However, the two of you have been unable to conceive for many years. It is imperative to discover the underlying reason."

"Yes, Old Master. I will certainly undergo a check-up once I return." A fleeting shadow crossed Lu Junyou's eyes.

"Hmm."

Old Master Lu let out a sigh. "This time, after bringing Shuangshuang back, ensure that others perceive us as the disadvantaged party, thereby compelling the Jiang Family to concede certain terms. You understand the necessary steps, do you not?"

"Old Master, I comprehend."

"That is good."

Lu Shuangshuang felt a growing unease within her heart. Despite her exhaustion, the day's events had been overwhelming, preventing her from succumbing to sleep.

She had intended to force herself to rest, but the moment she lay down, two men forcefully entered her room. Without any preamble, they lunged towards her, disregarding her person entirely. They roughly seized her arms and pulled her from the bed.

"You..."

What kind of intruders were these? Regardless of whether they represented the Jiang Family or the Lu Family, should they not have approached her with a semblance of gentleness and escorted her back with respect?

Before she could complete her sputtering protest, one of them produced a cloth imbued with a potent sedative, pressing it firmly against her mouth and nose.

Lu Shuangshuang struggled valiantly, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and indignation. Nevertheless, her consciousness ultimately succumbed to the drug's effects. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she became too weak to continue resisting.

"Quickly, take her away."

Outside the room, the other men who had been incapacitated were also being removed.

Jiang Shiheng received the report, and upon learning of their discovery, a subtle smirk played on his lips.

Sun Han entered to deliver news. "Old Master Lu has once again approached the Jiang Family, extending an invitation to the Sixth Young Master and Old Master for a discussion regarding the whereabouts of Lu Shuangshuang."

"Are they currently in the main hall?"

"Yes."

"Inform Old Master to engage in a game of chess with Doctor Chen."

He himself proceeded to his desk, unrolled a sheet of rice paper, and began preparing the ink.

This situation was...

Jiang Shiheng declared, "Let them wait. This will serve as a lesson that the Jiang Family is no longer a place they can enter and exit at their whim, nor are we perpetually waiting to welcome and bid farewell to his elder presence."

"Understood."

As Sun Han prepared to depart, Jiang Shiheng added a further instruction. "Dispatch someone to ascertain who is so eager to entertain them at this particular juncture. Record both the individuals involved and their respective reactions for my review."

"Yes."

Following Sun Han's exit, Jiang Shiheng inscribed a single character onto the paper.

Attack.

Offense serves as the most effective defense. They had maintained a passive stance for far too long and could no longer afford to remain reactive, dictated by the pace set by others.

Old Master Jiang received the message and, after a moment of contemplation, released a prolonged sigh.

"I understand. Proceed according to the Sixth Young Master's directives."

He shook his head, remarking to Chen Baoshen, "On numerous occasions, matters are best entrusted to the younger generation. After all, I am advancing in years."

Chen Baoshen, on his way to retrieve the chess pieces, offered a smile. "Is this not an ideal scenario? With the Sixth Young Master and Young Master Chiang overseeing affairs, Old Master, you may simply indulge in fine food and drink without undue concern."

"Indeed, they possess considerable acumen."

Therefore, in the end, the outcome would undoubtedly be one that satisfied him.
