“Honey, I have to go to Guan Port. I can’t let anything happen to my mother…”
Dongfang Yanran’s heart was in turmoil. Although she hadn’t had much contact with her mother, she was still bound by blood, and she didn’t want her mother to suffer because of her.
“Wait a moment. The fact that they’re trying to stall you means they haven’t harmed your mother yet. Even if they head to Guan港, it will still take time. Moreover, your mother holds an important position there, and there should be people protecting her.”
Xiao Yufan could only comfort Dongfang Yanran at this point. Truth be told, he held a certain degree of fondness for her mother, as he owed her a favor from the past.
Dongfang Yanran forced a faint smile, but her heart was still in disarray. Her mother had already endured so much; if this matter truly placed her in danger, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.
“What should we do with these two…”
Tian Xuan couldn’t help much at this point and could only watch quietly from the side. She could feel Dongfang Yanran’s emotions. Unspoken between the two women was a sense of shared sorrow.
“Leave them to Xiao Dao and the others. Killing them would only dirty your hands.”
“Okay.” Nodding slightly, Tian Xuan turned and walked away. If anyone saw her dragging a man along, it would surely appear very strange.
Watching the two being dragged away, Xiao Yufan then dialed Qiao Chuxi’s number…
“Help us book two plane tickets to Guang港 as soon as possible!”
Xiao Yufan knew Dongfang Yanran must be anxious, so he didn’t waste any time and directly asked Qiao Chuxi to book two tickets to Guan港. The Killer Alliance would also need time to get to Guan港; they simply needed to arrive before them.
Qiao Chuxi didn’t ask any questions. She knew exactly what to do at the right time, and clearly, 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; doing such a small task was effortless.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran dialed her mother’s number. She needed to confirm her mother was safe, otherwise she would remain uneasy. The Killer Alliance was known for their ruthless methods, so naturally, she was very worried.
“Yanran, is that you?”
“Yes, are you okay?” One moment filled with worry, the next hearing her mother’s voice, Dongfang Yanran couldn’t express her emotions too enthusiastically. After all, she had never experienced maternal love. To her, her mother was simply an important person in her life—nothing more.
“I’m fine! Why did you suddenly ask that…”
Jiang Ziyi was very happy to receive her daughter’s call. After all, their last conversation had been ages ago. She knew her daughter must hate her; she hadn’t fulfilled her duties as a mother.
“Be careful these 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. Even if she appeared cold, it was only an act. In other people’s eyes, she was the emotionless Feng Huang of the Phoenix Shadow.
But only she herself knew that she kept many feelings buried deep inside—亲情, love. Perhaps, if she hadn’t met Xiao Yufan, she would still be living that kind of life.
“And I’m going to Guan港 for the next couple of days. You…take care!”
Translation:
“And I’m heading to Guan港 for the next few days. You…take care!”
(Note: “Guan港” seems to be a mix of Chinese characters; if it’s meant to be a specific place name in English, please clarify. Otherwise, it can be transliterated as “Guan Gang” or adjusted accordingly.)
Final version assuming it’s a transliteration:
“And I’m heading to Guan Gang for the next few days. You…take care!”
Without waiting for her mother to speak again, Dongfang Yanran had already hung up. Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. It seemed he didn’t understand this little enchantress as much as he had imagined…
