"Xun'er, darling, your dad said he'll be home soon."
She held Xun'er in her arms.
Lin Xiao had sounded so urgent, and though she didn't know what had happened, she was certain of one thing.
Someone must be intending to harm her and her daughter, otherwise, Lin Xiao wouldn't have sounded so anxious.
It was rare for Lin Xiao to react like this.
"Really?!"
Xun'er's eyes lit up instantly. She bounced excitedly on the bed, "Daddy's coming home! Daddy's coming home!"
Luo Qinghan spoke into the phone at this moment, "We're in the room, don't worry."
"Mm."
Lin Xiao hung up the phone and closed his eyes to rest.
...
"You're not coming with me?" Qi Tian looked at Ye Chen strangely. Ye Chen was already boarding the plane with his puppets.
"Brother Xiao isn't here, I need to oversee things in the Northern Territory." Ye Chen wanted to go too, but he knew the Northern Territory couldn't be in chaos. With people from various sects training here, who would be in charge if he left?
...
"Brother Lan, is Brother Lin Xiao in some kind of trouble?" Dongfang Jingjing stayed by Zhuge Lan's side, her eyes filled with confusion. He had called them back so urgently; could even the formidable Brother Lin Xiao have encountered something he couldn't resolve?
"I cast a divination just now. The Seven Killings Star is agitated, and chaos will descend upon the land... This is not a good omen," Zhuge Lan said.
As for their two little followers, they stayed by their side and didn't leave.
After all, the price Dongfang Jingjing offered was irresistible.
...
Night.
Around the Luo family's current villa, many National Security Bureau personnel were patrolling the area. Zhu Guangyu had deployed all available National Security personnel here.
Ever since someone had caused trouble for Xun'er and the National Security agents were lured away, Zhu Guangyu had strengthened the protection here. In his own words, it was too embarrassing!
The National Security Bureau's reputation had been utterly tarnished, with their performance being worse than the person they were protecting, a child under five years old! Their combat skills weren't even as good as six-year-old Luo Bing!
He had been furious about it.
Therefore, the National Security personnel around the villa were now on high alert, especially since just a few minutes ago, they had received a top-level alert.
This meant it was confirmed that someone was planning to attack the Luo family, and the perpetrators were no ordinary individuals.
It was said that Lin Xiao was already on his way back. Their mission was to ensure the safety of the people inside the house before Lin Xiao arrived. Once Lin Xiao returned, they could finally rest.
However, everyone could tell that their task was far from easy.
"Someone's here."
The voice of the monitoring team came through their earpieces: "Nangong Wushuang from the Nangong family has arrived."
"Grant passage."
Seeing that it was Nangong Wushuang, after consulting with their superiors, they allowed him to pass.
Nangong Wushuang was also one of the people Lin Xiao had notified.
Lin Xiao needed her at this residence. Although Lin Xiao was well aware that Nangong Wushuang's abilities were sufficient against ordinary individuals, if they encountered an organization that even Zheng Aijia had to obey...
She could only do so much.
However, it was better than nothing.
They had initially expected Nangong Wushuang to refuse, but to their surprise, she agreed.
In addition, there were several hidden formations within this residence.
