Chapter 471: The Thoughts of a Beauty

“Husband, I need to go to Guangang. I can’t let anything happen to my mother…”

Dongfang Yanran’s heart was in turmoil. Although she hadn’t been in much contact with her mother, the bond of blood was still there. She didn’t want her mother to suffer because of her own issues.

“Don’t rush. If they’re trying to stall you, it means they haven’t harmed your mother yet. Even if they’re heading to Guangang, it will take time. Besides, your mother holds a significant position in Guangang; someone should be protecting her!”

Xiao Yufan could only comfort Dongfang Yanran for now. He still held some goodwill towards her mother, after all, he owed her a favor from the past.

Forcing a smile, Dongfang Yanran’s heart remained unsettled. Her mother had already suffered enough. If this situation truly endangered her, she would likely blame herself for the rest of her life.

“What should we do with these two…”

Tianxuan couldn’t be of much help either, silently watching from the side. She could sense Dongfang Yanran’s emotions. It had to be said, the two women shared a sense of mutual sympathy.

“Let Xiaodao and the others handle them. Killing them would only dirty your hands!”

“Mm!” Nodding, Tianxuan turned and walked out. If anyone saw her dragging two men, it would surely look bizarre.

Watching the two being dragged away, Xiao Yufan then dialed Qiao Chuxi’s number…

“Book two tickets to Guangang for us, as soon as possible!”

Xiao Yufan knew Dongfang Yanran was anxious, so he didn’t delay, directly asking Qiao Chuxi to book two tickets to Guangang. The assassins from the alliance would also need time to get there; as long as they arrived before them, it would be fine.

Qiao Chuxi didn’t say anything, knowing when to act. Clearly, Xiao Yufan was in a hurry.

A few minutes later, Qiao Chuxi had already purchased the tickets. After all, Linjiang was the Qiao family’s territory; handling such a small matter was effortless…

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran also called her mother. She needed to confirm her mother’s safety; otherwise, she would remain uneasy. The assassin alliance was known for their ruthless methods, and she was naturally very worried.

“Yanran, is that you?”

“Yes, are you okay?” Just a second ago, she was extremely worried, but upon hearing her mother’s voice, Dongfang Yanran couldn’t express too much warmth. She had never felt maternal love; her mother was merely an important person in her life, nothing more.

“I’m fine! Why are you asking so suddenly…”

Jiang Ziyi was delighted to receive a call from her daughter. It had been a long time since their last conversation. She knew her daughter must harbor deep resentment towards her; she hadn’t fulfilled her role as a mother.

“Be careful these next few days. I’m afraid someone might harm you…”

No matter what, this woman was her mother. Dongfang Yanran couldn’t bring herself to ignore her. Despite her cold exterior, it was just a facade. To others, she was the emotionless Phoenix.

But only she knew the depth of her feelings—family love, romantic love. Perhaps if she hadn’t met Xiao Yufan, she would still be living that life.

“And I’ll be coming to Guangang in a couple of days. You… take care of yourself!”

Without waiting for her mother to respond, Dongfang Yanran hung up the phone. Xiao Yufan could only smile and shake his head. It seemed he didn’t understand this little enchantress as well as he thought he did…

Dongfang Yanran’s heart was in turmoil. Although she hadn’t kept in close contact with her mother, they were still bound by blood, and she didn’t want her mother to suffer because of her.

“Husband, I need to go to Guangang. I can’t let anything happen to my mother…”

Dongfang Yanran’s heart was in turmoil. Although she hadn’t been in close contact with her mother, the bond of blood was undeniable. She didn’t want her mother to suffer because of her own issues.

“Don’t panic just yet. If they’re trying to stall you, it means they haven’t harmed your mother yet. Even if they’re heading to Guangang, it will take time. Besides, your mother holds a significant position there; she should have protection!”

Xiao Yufan could only try to comfort Dongfang Yanran. He still held some goodwill towards her mother, as he owed her a favor from the past.

Forcing a smile, Dongfang Yanran’s heart remained unsettled. Her mother had already endured enough hardship. If this situation truly put her mother in danger, she would likely blame herself for the rest of her life.

“What should we do with these two…”

Tianxuan couldn’t offer much help either, silently watching from the side. She could sense Dongfang Yanran’s emotions. It was undeniable that the two women shared a sense of mutual understanding in their plight.

“Let Xiaodao and the others handle it. Killing them would only dirty your hands.”

“Mm.” Nodding, Tianxuan turned and walked out. If anyone saw her dragging two men, it would surely look bizarre.

Watching the two being dragged away, Xiao Yufan finally dialed Qiao Chuxi’s number…

“Book us two tickets to Guangang, as soon as possible!”

Xiao Yufan knew Dongfang Yanran was frantic with worry, so he didn’t delay, directly asking Qiao Chuxi to book two tickets to Guangang. The assassins’ alliance would also need time to reach Guangang. As long as they arrived before the assassins, it would be fine.

Qiao Chuxi didn’t say anything. She knew when to act, and it was clear that Xiao Yufan was in a hurry.

Within minutes, Qiao Chuxi had already secured the tickets. After all, Linjiang was the Qiao family’s territory, and such a small task was easily accomplished.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran also dialed her mother’s number. She needed to confirm her mother’s safety; otherwise, she would remain uneasy. The assassins’ alliance was known for their ruthless methods, and she was naturally very worried.

“Yanran, is that you?”

“Yes, are you okay?” A moment ago, she was filled with worry, but upon hearing her mother’s voice, Dongfang Yanran couldn’t express too much warmth. She had never truly felt maternal love. To her, her mother was merely an important figure in her life, nothing more.

“I’m fine! Why are you asking so suddenly…”

Jiang Ziyi was delighted to receive a call from her daughter. It had been a long time since their last conversation. She knew her daughter must harbor resentment towards her; she hadn’t fulfilled her role as a mother.

“Be careful these next few days. I’m afraid someone might target you…”

No matter what, this woman was her mother. Dongfang Yanran couldn’t bring herself to ignore her. Despite her icy exterior, it was all a facade. To others, she was the emotionless Phoenix.

But only she knew the depth of her hidden emotions—family love, romantic love. Perhaps if she hadn’t met Xiao Yufan, she would still be living that same life.

“And I’ll be coming to Guangang in a couple of days. You… take care.”

Before her mother could respond, Dongfang Yanran hung up the phone. Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. It seemed he didn’t understand this little enchantress as well as he thought he did…

Xiao Yufan could only comfort Dongfang Yanran at this point. Truth be told, he actually held some goodwill toward her mother, since he owed her a favor from long ago.

Dongfang Yanran forced a faint smile, but her heart was still filled with anxiety. Her mother had already suffered enough. If her mother really got caught up in danger because of her, she would blame herself forever.

“What should we do with these two…”

Tian Xuan couldn’t help much at this point and could only stand aside watching silently. She could feel Dongfang Yanran’s emotions. It was undeniable that the two women shared a similar sense of sorrow.

“Leave them to Xiao Dao and the others. Killing them would only dirty your hands.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Tian Xuan turned and walked away. If anyone else saw her dragging a man with each hand, they would surely find it very strange.

As the two men were dragged away, Xiao Yufan finally dialed Qiao Chuxi’s number…

“Husband, I need to go to Guangang. I can’t let anything happen to my mother…”

Dongfang Yanran’s heart was in turmoil. Although she hadn’t been in close contact with her mother, the bond of blood was undeniable. She didn’t want her mother to suffer because of her own issues.

Tianxuan couldn’t be of much help either, silently watching from the side. She could sense Dongfang Yanran’s emotions. It had to be said, the two women shared a sense of mutual empathy.

“Let Xiaodao and the others handle them. Killing them would only dirty your hands!”

“Alright!” Nodding, Tianxuan turned and walked out. If anyone saw her dragging two men, it would surely seem bizarre.

Watching the two being dragged away, Xiao Yufan then dialed Qiao Chuxi’s number…

A few minutes later, Qiao Chuxi had already purchased the tickets. After all, Linjiang was the territory of the Qiao family, and handling such a small matter was effortless…

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran also called her mother. She needed to confirm her mother’s safety; otherwise, she would remain uneasy. The assassins’ alliance was known for their ruthless methods, and she was naturally very worried.

“Let Xiaodao and the others handle them. Killing them would only dirty your hands.”

“Alright.” Nodding, Tianxuan turned and walked away. If anyone saw her dragging two men with ease, they would surely find it bizarre.

Watching as the two were dragged out, Xiao Yufan finally dialed Qiao Chuxi’s number…

“Book two tickets to Guangang for us, as soon as possible!”

Xiao Yufan knew Dongfang Yanran was frantic with worry, so he didn’t delay. He directly asked Qiao Chuxi to book two tickets to Guangang. The assassins from the alliance would also need time to reach Guangang. As long as they arrived before the assassins, it would be fine.

Qiao Chuxi didn’t say a word. She knew exactly what needed to be done, and it was clear that Xiao Yufan was in a hurry.

Within minutes, Qiao Chuxi had already secured the tickets. After all, Linjiang was the territory of the Qiao family, and handling such a small task was effortless for her…

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran also dialed her mother’s number. She needed to confirm her mother’s safety; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to calm down. The assassin alliance was known for their ruthless methods, and she was naturally very worried.

“Yanran, is that you?”

“Yes, are you alright?” Just a second ago, she had been filled with worry, but upon hearing her mother’s voice, Dongfang Yanran couldn’t bring herself to express too much warmth. After all, she had never truly experienced maternal love. To her, her mother was just an important figure in her life, nothing more.

“I’m fine! Why are you asking so suddenly…”

Jiang Ziyi was overjoyed to receive a call from her daughter. It had been a long time since their last conversation. She knew her daughter must harbor deep resentment toward her, as she had failed to fulfill her role as a mother.

“Be extra careful these next few days. I’m afraid someone might try to harm you…”

No matter what, this woman was her mother, and Dongfang Yanran couldn’t bring herself to abandon her. Despite her cold exterior, it was all just a facade. To others, she was the emotionless Phoenix of the Shadows.

But only she knew the depth of the emotions she kept hidden within—family love, romantic love. Perhaps if she hadn’t met Xiao Yufan, she would still be living that same detached life.

“And I’ll be coming to Guangang in the next couple of days. You… take care of yourself.”

Without waiting for her mother to respond, Dongfang Yanran hung up the phone. Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. It seemed he didn’t understand this little enchantress as well as he thought he did…

Qiao Chuxi didn’t say anything. She knew exactly what to do and when. Obviously, Xiao Yufan was in a hurry now.

A few minutes later, Qiao Chuxi had already purchased the tickets. After all, Linjiang was Qiao family’s territory, and doing something this small was effortless.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran dialed her mother’s number. She needed to confirm her mother was safe, otherwise she would always be worried. The Killer Alliance was notorious for their ruthless methods, so she was naturally very concerned.

“Yanran, is that you?”

“Yes. Are you okay?” One moment she was deeply worried, but upon hearing her mother’s voice, Dongfang Yanran couldn’t express her feelings too enthusiastically. After all, she had never truly felt a mother’s love. To Dongfang Yanran, her mother was just an important person in her life, nothing more.

“I’m fine! Why are you suddenly asking this…”

Jiang Ziyi was very happy to receive her daughter’s call. After all, the last time they spoke was a long time ago. She knew her daughter must hate her deeply, because she hadn’t fulfilled her duties as a mother.

“Just be careful these two days; I’m afraid someone might target you…”

No matter what, this woman was still her mother. Dongfang Yanran couldn’t bring herself to ignore her completely. No matter how cold she seemed, it was just an act. In others’ eyes, she was the emotionless Fenghuang of the Phoenix Shadow.

“Husband, I need to go to Guangang. I can’t let anything happen to my mother…”

Dongfang Yanran’s heart was in turmoil. Although she hadn’t been in close contact with her mother, the bond of blood was undeniable. She didn’t want her mother to suffer because of her own issues.

“Don’t panic just yet. If they’re trying to stall you, it means they haven’t harmed your mother yet. Even if they are heading to Guangang, it will take time. Besides, your mother holds a significant position there; she should have protection!”

Before her mother could speak again, Dongfang Yanran had already hung up the phone. Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. It seemed he didn’t understand this little enchantress as well as he had imagined…
