Chiang Xiao proposed, "Then, perhaps Ding Haijing could accompany you back when the moment arrives."
Ding Haijing, a little surprised, asked, "Me? What about you then?"
"I'll have Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng with me, so there's no need to worry," Chiang Xiao replied.
"Let's discuss this further in a few days," Ding Haijing suggested, adding, "My father is staying with me currently."
"Will you have enough space? If not, Uncle Xiao Fu could stay here for the time being."
"Oh, no need, really. I can share a room with Xiao Jing. Their place is quite peaceful, and I can assist with the cooking," Ding Haijing assured.
Chiang Xiao found herself unable to insist further.
Once Ding Fu and Ding Haijing had departed, Chiang Xiao promptly contacted the Sixth Young Master.
"Little one, I never anticipated you'd find Xiao Fu as well," Jiang Shiheng expressed, still somewhat unsettled.
"Dad, it's less that I found him and more that he returned of his own accord, a twist of fate. However, Uncle Xiao Fu bears scars on his face and walks with a limp, suggesting he suffered severe injuries back then. He also mentioned that his pursuers were likely from the Lu Family, though he has no concrete proof. It was merely a conjecture at the time. After all, only the Lu Family would have been searching for that red gemstone pendant then," Chiang Xiao explained.
"The Lu Family... we shall settle our accounts with them, one by one," Jiang Shiheng's voice turned icy.
"Has Lu Shuangshuang been sent back today?"
"She will be soon; our people are bringing her back. I heard you roughed her up quite a bit. I imagine Old Master Lu would faint upon seeing her condition," Jiang Shiheng remarked.
"Let him faint then," Chiang Xiao retorted.
"Indeed, let him faint," Jiang Shiheng chuckled. "Today, I will officially bring up the annulment of our previous engagement. Don't you worry, I'll handle it today."
"Mm, Dad, you must also be cautious. Ensure Sun Han stays with you constantly, and absolutely do not allow Lu Shuangshuang any opportunity to be alone with you, no matter how pitiful she may seem," Chiang Xiao cautioned.
Hearing Chiang Xiao's meticulous reminders, Jiang Shiheng felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
He truly had a daughter who was forever concerned for his well-being.
"I understand."
After ending the call, Yue Yang entered the room.
"Sixth Young Master, the group is nearly at the gate."
"Excellent. Let them make a spectacle and shout loudly. Since Lu Shuangshuang concocted a kidnapping scheme, let's give her the genuine article," Yue Yang instructed.
And so, even before the group arrived, shouts could be heard echoing along the road: "We've found Miss Lu! We've rescued her! Quickly, have Doctor Chen prepare! Miss Lu has been beaten, her head shaved, and she's unconscious! Hurry and have Doctor Chen come to the front yard to examine Miss Lu!"
"Swiftly notify Old Master Lu; we've rescued Miss Lu from those nefarious villains!"
These pronouncements spread like wildfire.
"Those villains..."
"Beaten unconscious..."
"Head shaved..."
"Good heavens, what sort of individuals did Miss Lu fall into the hands of!"
"And, someone as beautiful as Miss Lu had her hair removed – what must she look like now?"
Old Master Lu and Lu Junyou hastened from the guest quarters to the front yard.
Upon hearing this news, both were struck with shock, realizing that the situation had undeniably spiraled far beyond their initial expectations.
"Shuangshuang, my girl! How are you!"
Old Master Lu burst into the front hall, where numerous members of the Jiang Family had already assembled, their expressions a complex tapestry of emotions.
Some averted their gaze, hesitant to meet Old Master Lu's eyes, fearing his formidable stare.
