After midnight

Zhao Yunshuang opened the door and standing outside was Song Xin, who looked anxious.

"Is Brother Yunqi here? I need to see him for something."

"In the study, don't worry."

Before Zhao Yunshuang could even shout, Song Xin stepped through the gate and ran straight over.

Zhao Yunqi heard the noise and looked up to see Song Xin pushing the door open. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What happened, Miss Xin'er?"

"I heard that my father was attacked and injured in Xidu."

Zhao Yunqi immediately stood up and walked around the desk to Song Xin to comfort her. "I have received the news about this matter. Second Uncle will be fine. Please calm down."

"How can I stay calm? My father was attacked on the way back from Xidu Hospital. They must have known that my father would be alone at that time, so they made preparations in advance to attack him. Moreover, those two people are the same group of people who attacked Lu Xian!" Song Xin shouted, not calm at all.

Zhao Yunqi naturally knew everything Song Xin described. He also felt it was incredible, and he couldn't understand how someone could be so desperate as to attack two people like this one after another?

"Brother Yunqi, I came here this time because I want to ask you a favor." Song Xin put away his temper and begged him.

"what's up?"

"Go see my father and my elder brother for me. I'm really worried." She reached out to pull Zhao Yunqi's arm, and Zhao Yunqi looked embarrassed. Song Xin's request made him very embarrassed. Song Hongtian kept him to deal with Jiudu's affairs. He couldn't leave at this time, let alone for such a personal matter.

"Brother Yunqi." Song Xin called again, his voice a little softer.

"I understand. I'll finish the things on hand and go there this afternoon."

"Thank you, Brother Yunqi." She seemed very happy. "I'll have someone send some things over later. I want to bring them to you, brother. By the way, do you have any luggage to take? If you don't mind, I can help you pack it."

"No need to pack your luggage. There is an official passage from Jiudu to Xidu. It's very convenient along the way and you don't need to bring anything." Zhao Yunqi quickly refused. How could he trouble outsiders with such a matter?

"Really? I don't know. I also want to leave Jiudu one day and go out and see the world." She said longingly.

"Ms. Xin'er, it's getting late." Zhao Yunqi reminded tactfully.

"Yeah, I should go back and prepare. Brother Yunqi, thank you very much today. Thank you for your help." Song Xin thanked politely.

After seeing Song Xin off, Zhao Yunqi immediately went back to reviewing official documents. In fact, he also wanted to go to Xidu to have a look. Song Hongda's words concerned him a lot. He wanted to know what happened in Xidu, which made him feel that everything was so unusual.

When Zhao Yunqi arrived at Xidu, the Song family meeting had already been held. In order to prevent the disclosure of confidential information, no one was allowed to enter or leave during the meeting. Therefore, if he wanted to see Song Hongtian, he had to wait until the meeting was over. Zhao Yunqi thought about it and decided to go to Xidu Hospital first. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to see Song Yu for the second time.

Song Yu also never expected to see Zhao Yunqi again in the ward.

"Why are you here?" Song Yu looked at him and suppressed his dissatisfaction. Could it be that Song Hongtian had deceived him again?

"Ms. Xin'er asked me to bring something to you."

Under Song Yu's unblinking gaze, Zhao Yunqi placed the box on the cabinet next to him. "Then I'll leave first and won't disturb your rest."

"Zhao Yunqi." Song Yu called him.

"I know you hate me and I hate you too. But I can promise you that I will never use you." Song Yu said, staring at his back.

"My second uncle didn't use me. I did it willingly."

Zhao Yunqi said and pushed the door open without hesitation. Song Yu stared at the closed door and wanted to laugh. When he said to use, the first person Zhao Yunqi thought of was Song Hongtian. He wanted to ask, if your sister Zhao Yunshuang's health was better, would you still be so willing?

Song Yu didn't know Zhao Yunqi's answer, but he was sure that there was something wrong with the medicine Zhao Yunshuang took. However, Song Yu lay back on the bed slowly, and he didn't want to tell him yet.

He turned his head to look at the box of cakes that Zhao Yunqi had placed on the cabinet. Yes, without opening it, Song Yu knew that the box contained his favorite cakes made by Song Xin. He opened it, pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted familiar.

"Yin?" In a small room not far from Xidu Hospital, Ye banged on the door. He banged and called, and finally the door opened, and Ye walked in. "Yin, what's wrong with you? Ever since you and Qing went to investigate the scene of Song Hongtian's attack, you have been locking yourself in the room. If Wuying finds out, she will blame you again."

Yin sat back in his seat, propping his chin with his right hand and tapping the table with his left index finger. "It's not like it's only been half a day. I just think it's weird."

"Strange? What's strange?"

"Of course the scene of the attack was strange. Where's Qing?"

"He's sleeping. You know he likes to sleep when he has nothing to do."

"It's amazing that you can fall asleep anytime and anywhere." After Yin said this, they both couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, that's really enviable. But the current trend is not friendly to us. People on the streets are talking about those two people being sent out by our 'Dark Night'. How is that possible?"

"It's just a mob. It seems that the negative image of our organization is deeply rooted in people's minds." Yin didn't care but was complacent.

Ye curled his lips. "Zhao Yunqi rushed over from Jiudu, but because the elders' meeting was in progress, he went to Xidu Hospital first."

"Why would he come? He wouldn't come here just because Song Hongtian got a little injured."

"No, if his eldest daughter hadn't begged him to do so."

Yin Liangran said helplessly: "Women are always beyond your expectations."

"Speaking of women, Wuying has been in Xindu for a few days now." Ye felt it was a pity that no one could come to calm Yin down.

"Yeah. By the way, is there any situation with Lin Nuan?"

"Nothing happened. Such a big incident happened in Xidu, but it seems to have nothing to do with them. Everything about the wedding preparations is going on as usual. The same goes for the Lu family. Only Lu Li came to see his uncle and went back soon."

"That's right. This is enough to show how important it is for Lin Nuan and Lu Li to get married."

Ye nodded, and everything would wait until the Song family meeting was over. At the end of May, two days later, the elders' meeting was successfully concluded.

After the meeting, everyone had an unfathomable expression on their face, the same every year, and different every year. This year they seemed to be in a particularly hurry. Song Hongtian came out last, and he was very proud of the result of this meeting, until he saw Zhao Yunqi waiting outside the gate.

"Why are you here?" Song Hongtian said in a bad tone, very dissatisfied.

"I heard that you were attacked. I was very worried, so I came to see you." Zhao Yunqi answered respectfully.

"How many days have you been here?" Song Hongtian suppressed his anger.

"Three days."

"The elders' meeting has been held in three days. If something happens to Jiudu at this time, can you bear the responsibility?" Song Hongtian turned away.

Zhao Yunqi followed Song Hongtian in silence. Song Hongtian returned to the mansion. When he climbed the last step in front of the door, he suddenly turned his head and ordered him: "In this case, you should stay in Xidu. When Song Yu gets better, you can go back with him. During this period, you must follow all my orders. Remember?"

"remember."

After Song Hongtian gave Zhao Yunqi instructions, he started his journey back that afternoon. When he arrived in Jiudu, Song Xin had been waiting for him in the courtyard for a long time.

"Father, are you okay?"

"I'm already in front of you, what else could go wrong?" Song Hongtian said with a smile.

"Where are Big Brother and Big Brother Yunqi?" Song Xin asked, pretending to look behind him casually.

"Your brother is fine. Yunqi asked him to stay in Xidu to do things for me. When your brother recovers, they will come back together. Don't worry about it."

"Then how long will it take them to come back?" Song Xin felt a little disappointed.

"I can always come back before Lin Nuan gets married."

"Oh, I see, father." Song Xin smiled sweetly. It wouldn't be long.

"Dad, I bought you some new tea." Song Xin said as she shook the small box in her hand.

"Okay, the tea that Xin'er picked is my favorite. Then can dad go and have a rest?" Song Hongtian teased her.

"Of course." Song Xin happily followed Song Hongtian into the house.

In the study, Song Hongtian brewed the tea leaves he brought with him, and soon, the tea leaves began to emit a fragrant aroma. He sat there and pondered for a moment, then wrote a letter to Zhang Dong, and half an hour later, Zhang Dong appeared in the Song residence.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Song Hongtian's study?"

When Zhang Dong asked for directions, Song Xin was watering the flowers in the courtyard. She looked at him and asked, "Are you here to look for my father?"

"So you are Miss Song Xin." Zhang Dong bowed to her politely. Song Xin tilted her head to look at him, thinking that this man looked just like him, and was indeed an honest and law-abiding person.

"Uh... This is my second time visiting your house, and I'm still a little unfamiliar with it... Uh, the housekeeper was busy and couldn't take me with him this time, so I..."

Zhang Dong spoke haltingly and was a little reserved. Song Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing, "So... you are lost?"

"Yes, it is."

"If you don't mind, let me lead the way for you. Is that okay?" Song Xin said.

"Of course, thank you very much."

"Just call me Song Xin. By the way, what's your name?"

"Zhang Dong."

"Hello, come with me."

Zhang Dong followed behind Song Xin and couldn't help but secretly glance at her. After a while, Zhang Dong was brought to Song Hongtian's study. After Song Xin disappeared, he knocked on the door and pushed it open.

"You're here." Song Hongtian lowered his head and corrected official documents.

"Yes, I wonder what you want me to do."

"Nothing. I just called you here to tell you that you should be prepared to come here more often in the future. I will tell you something in a few days."

"Ok."

After hearing Zhang Dong say only two words and stop talking, Song Hongtian raised his head and looked at him carefully. Zhang Dong lowered his head and leaned forward slightly. He had been in this respectful manner since he entered the door. Song Hongtian thought with satisfaction that it was time to use someone who only knew how to obey and do things.

"Then you go back first."

"Okay." Zhang Dong retreated respectfully. Thinking that he would come to the Song Mansion often in the future, he couldn't help feeling happy.

On the day when Song Hongtian returned to Jiudu to summon Zhang Dong, Shangguan Can also appeared in Xidu. He appeared in front of Zhao Yunqi with a bright face.

"Zhang Dong has already returned to Jiudu to report to Song Hongtian. Where have you been these days?" Shangguan Can was used to being lazy, and Zhao Yunqi sometimes felt really disappointed with him.

"I'm just strolling around after completing the task. I was planning to go back to Jiudu these two days, but when I heard that you were in Xidu, I came to find you. What do you think, I'm loyal!" Shangguan Can had planned to leave the pavilion on the night after his grandfather's death, but he turned back and burned incense for his grandfather for seven days before finally leaving.

"What's the result?"

"You don't know? It's been several days, right? Didn't Song Hongtian tell you?"

"No." Zhao Yunqi shook his head.

"Tsk tsk, old fox. Yunqi, you don't know, I have been traveling a lot these days and finally arrived in Xidu. I heard that there is a good restaurant called Gediao in Xidu. You see, the name sounds very stylish." Shangguan Can said excitedly.

"I know without you telling me that the third person with Yin from Dark Night and Son of God is the rumored Guardian."

"How do you know Su Ziling is the 'Guardian'?" Shangguan Can was surprised. Didn't Song Hongtian tell him?

"Now I not only know that he is the 'Guardian' but also that his name is Su Zi Ling."

"Zhao Yunqi! You cheated me!" Shangguan Can pounced over and strangled Zhao Yunqi's neck.

"Let go, do you still want to go to Style for dinner?"

"Go! Of course!"

In the style, Shangguan Can was feasting on a table of delicious food. While eating, he looked at Zhao Yunqi's gloomy expression and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Are you thinking about Xidu?"

"No, I was thinking 'Guardian'."

"What's wrong with him?"

"Don't you think it's strange? Since he is the 'Guardian', why did he stand aside and watch when we besieged Anyan in the beginning? And at that time, he was obviously stimulated by something, which led to the explosion of his abilities. I can guess that the purpose and reason why Yin pretended to cooperate with us before was because of this Su Ziling, but I can't figure out what the relationship between him and Yin is."

"Why are you thinking about these things? It's been so long. I didn't see Yin when I was in the pavilion, and Su Ziling was also quite normal. Yunqi, the most important thing is now. Look at what has happened to Xidu. They are searching for those two people every day, making people panic. When the Lu and Song families started to confront each other blatantly, some people couldn't help but start to make moves."

"Speaking of which. Shangguan Can, please go back to Jiudu and help me take care of Yun Shuang."

"I got it! Let's eat quickly!" Shangguan Can compromised.

At the Lin Mansion in Jiudu, Lin Yaoyue stopped Lin Nuan who was rushing out. "Nuan, where are you going?"

"Lu Li and I have an appointment to discuss something."

Lin Yaoyue nodded. "Then go quickly. We need to discuss the details of the wedding. Tell Lu Li that I will make time to visit the Lu Mansion in the near future."

"Got it. I'll tell him. Father, please be careful when you go out recently. Lu Xian and Song Hongtian were attacked in Xidu."

"Got it, don't worry, go out now."

At this point, no one knew how the situation would develop further.
