Chapter 168 Shock

After going out to handle this matter, when Lü Xinyan and Peng Yiyun returned together, apart from Peng Yiyun who was on duty, everyone else here was still unaware of the situation, still resting, unaffected, and had not yet woken up.

This scene softened Lü Xinyan's heart considerably, making her realize that her efforts to prevent the danger from happening were well worth it and very effective.

Keeping those dangers away from their group and preventing them from getting close gave them a lot of peace of mind, and they could rest and continue their journey without being delayed.

Of course, they didn't spend that much time dealing with the problem this time, and Lü Xinyan and the others returned quickly. They can continue to rest, pretend that nothing happened, and temporarily not let their families know so that they don't have to worry.

At this moment, seeing Peng Yucheng standing there with a worried expression, constantly looking in their direction, waiting for them to return safely, Lü Xinyan led Peng Yiyun and continued walking towards him.

Peng Yiyun was very dedicated and stayed here the whole time without ever leaving.

Although he was worried about Peng Yiyun's safety and wanted to go with her to check on things, Peng Yucheng deeply respected his benefactor, Lü Xinyan, and would diligently and completely fulfill all of Lü Xinyan's instructions.

Miss Lü Xinyan has arranged for him to stay here and continue guarding the area, ensuring the safety of the others. Therefore, Peng Yucheng will not leave for even a moment.

Furthermore, since Peng Yiyun had gone to run errands with Lü Xinyan, he was the only one left on duty without any other helpers. Peng Yucheng needed to be extra vigilant and attentive to his post to prevent any accidents or dangers from occurring.

The safety of the Lü family is of paramount importance, and Peng Yucheng dares not be careless in the slightest.

While on guard duty, Peng Yucheng would occasionally look in the direction where his eldest daughter, Lü Xinyan, and Peng Yiyun had left together, hoping that they would all return safely.

Seeing that his eldest daughter, Lü Xinyan, and eldest son, Peng Yiyun, had returned safely and unharmed, Peng Yucheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to greet them.

Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that neither Miss Lü Xinyan nor Peng Yiyun were injured and were in good condition. Miss Lü Xinyan's dress was even unstained, which truly put Peng Yucheng at ease.

Peng Yucheng already knows that Miss Lü Xinyan is very capable.

With his eldest daughter around, Peng Yucheng also believed that his eldest son, Peng Yiyun, was perfectly safe.

But Peng Yucheng was still very worried, not knowing what had happened over there. He worried that his eldest daughter, Lü Xinyan, and his eldest son, Peng Yiyun, might be attacked or encounter some insurmountable danger and accident.

Fortunately, everything seemed to be going smoothly, which put Peng Yucheng at ease. He quickly bowed to Miss Lü Xinyan.

Noticing Peng Yucheng's reaction, Lü Xinyan smiled slightly, lowered her voice, and said, "Uncle Peng, don't worry, we have taken care of everything over there and have returned safely."

"Over there, General Ji from the Zhenwei General's Mansion ran into some trouble and was in mortal danger, but it has all been resolved now. General Ji is handling the aftermath over there, so it won't affect us here. The crisis is temporarily over, so let everyone continue to rest peacefully and don't wake them up."

"However, Uncle Peng, you'll still have to work hard today to keep watch and pay close attention to the situation over there to prevent any further accidents from happening."

"Although we saved General Ji, those who were chasing him are not good people, so we need to be more careful."

Those black-clad guards have all been taken down. After Ji Yuzhang's interrogation, there shouldn't be any survivors to cause trouble. However, Lü Xinyan is still unsure whether there will be any follow-up problems. They still need to strengthen their vigilance to prevent any trouble from coming their way.

It wasn't that Lü Xinyan didn't trust Ji Yuzhang, but rather that she didn't believe in the bottom line of the Yuan family and other powerful families. She felt that only by being careful about her own safety could she be truly secure.

Lü Xinyan can rest assured that these matters will continue to be handled by Peng Yucheng.

She still arranged for night owls to patrol and keep watch around the area, focusing on the direction where the fight had just taken place, to prevent any other unexpected situations from occurring there.

Although Ji Yuzhang had been cured of the poison, his physical condition had not fully recovered, and his strength had not fully returned. Lü Xinyan continued to keep an eye on him to find out if Ji Yuzhang still had any secret guards protecting him, in order to prevent any further dangers from occurring.

She had gone to great lengths to save Ji Yuzhang's life and helped him so much, leaving behind this favor. She didn't want Ji Yuzhang to encounter any more malicious attacks and die in this place.

This concerned the tasks Ji Yuzhang was entrusted with, the battles on the front lines, and the life and death of the Zhenwei Army and the Zhenwei General's Mansion. Lü Xinyan did not want any more accidents to happen.

At least, while she was still able to notice, Lü Xinyan didn't want any accidents to happen.

Once she saw that Ji Yuzhang's bodyguards had arrived and that Ji Yuzhang's safety was no longer a major concern, Lü Xinyan handed the matter over to Night Owl to continue keeping an eye on things. She was to be notified if anything unexpected happened, as she needed to go and rest.

Peng Yucheng was shocked after hearing what Miss Lü Xinyan said.

He truly hadn't expected that they would encounter Ji Yuzhang in this place, especially in the dangerous situation where Ji Yuzhang was being chased and killed!

In just a moment, Peng Yucheng had already thought of many things, realizing that they had almost been implicated and fallen into some kind of trap.

If this matter is not handled properly, they may face significant trouble and danger in the future.

Being caught up in that level of power struggle, they could easily become cannon fodder if they weren't careful.

At that moment, Peng Yucheng realized the seriousness of the problem and became even more worried.

However, the matter has been resolved. Judging from Miss Lü Xinyan's appearance, everything seems to have gone smoothly, so there should be no danger or hidden dangers.

He wanted to talk to his eldest son, Peng Yiyun, to get more information so he could be more aware of what he needed to do next and protect the Lü family and his own family as much as possible.

Things were probably getting serious. Peng Yucheng's expression became even more solemn and respectful. He agreed and continued to stand guard.
