Chapter 1458: The Feeling of Having a Beauty in One's A

stepped into the nightclub and Johnny was about to make his move, the second big fish, Aoki Ono, an upper ninja from the San-guchi group, also got the information. He had always followed the principle...Lingnan Chen was not yet five years old, not particularly tall, but his status in the martial arts world was surprisingly high.

Being involved in intelligence work, she once pretended to be a policewoman at Beijing Capital International Airport while investigating a stolen ancient painting that was taken by Jinghong. She questioned Li Nanfang and learned some secrets about him, which is perfectly normal.

At present, she wasn't too regretful, either completely losing her rationality or being beaten to death, she wouldn't have uttered those words.

Her father's desperate cries were a wake-up call, pulling her back to reality all at once.

Chen Yuer, who had just woken up suddenly, immediately understood what she should do.

She smiled faintly, saying she didn't know either. Did she look just like an underground worker facing death with serenity

Li Nanan was not pleased: "Chen Yuer, this isn't fun. Just because I have amnesia doesn't mean I'm a fool or deaf. You really think I didn't hear what you were saying"

"So, did you hear what I just said"

Chen Yuer again giggled mischievously, a look that perfectly suited her innocent maiden nature.

In his waking state, Lingnan Chen Wu is indeed a terrifying little demon.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to remain so calm even when facing a catastrophic disaster.

"Really"

Li Nanfang was visibly impatient.

Actually, he wasn't too eager to find out those secrets.

After all, when he considers problems now, he can't take too long. If he takes even a little longer, he becomes exhausted.

Just like two hours ago, after overthinking, I ended up being taken advantage of by Duan Lingxing without even knowing—how embarrassing

The problem was, Chen Yuer deliberately, in front of so many people, said she knew some of his secrets. She promised to tell him everything if he could save her.

If he isn't enthusiastic about it, he'll feel uncomfortable.

Only through questioning.

After waking up, Chen Yuer could smile brightly, what was there to be afraid of

Facing Li Nanting's not-too-firm questioning, Chen Yu'er's eyes flickered and she smiled mischievously: "What are you going to do if I don't say anything Are you going to arrest me and put me on the rack, douse me with chili water, or force yourself on me"

She had realized deeply that no matter if she could get out of this alive today, her chance to be with Duan Shuchang as a couple was gone forever. There was no need for her to maintain her ladylike grace anymore.

"I'm going to make a copper pea that can't be broken, can't be killed, and can't be burned. No one, ever, will find anything here that could implicate the Chen family of Lingnan. A person does their own deeds, and they take responsibility for them. Love it or leave it."

After silently making up her mind, Chen Yuer's spirit relaxed even more. She simply reached out and hooked her arms around Li Nanfang's neck, sitting in his lap as she turned around. She took the tea he was drinking and finished it in one gulp.

After finishing, she smacked her lips, closed her eyes, and let out a contented sigh: “Ah. From last night till now, I’ve only been crying and haven't replenished my fluids. Now I feel much better. That someone, Ye Shen, can I borrow your legs to sit on for a bit You wouldn't be stingy enough to kick me off, would you”

"I actually really like the feeling of a beautiful woman in my arms."

After Li Nanfang spoke his mind, he looked at Chen Shunan, who was now stunned speechless. He said thoughtfully: "Don't you see, the Duan family doesn't actually want to do anything to you"

"What"

Chen Yuer's body stiffened, and she subconsciously looked up at Lao Duan.

Lao Duan didn't look at her, reached out to pick up his teacup, and then said faintly: "Elderly gentlemen, you guys should go back and rest first. Don't worry, this day won't collapse."

Although the Duan family did not have the saying "a wife doesn't participate in politics," Old Master Duan still disliked them participating in the upcoming discussion.

The reason is simple, after having children, a woman's perspective narrows. No matter what she is asked to do, she will first consider the interests of her own small family.

Since ancient times, the relationship between sisters-in-law has always been a facade of smiles on the surface, but daggers in the back.

Duanmu and the others still really wanted to stay and participate in this meeting that could affect the fate of the family.

Since Old Duan had spoken like that, they could only obediently agree and turn around to leave.

"Lao Si, Lao Wu, you two should go back as well."

Glancing at his two worthless sons, Old Duan spoke again.

Both Duan Laosi and Duan Li were taken aback. Just as they were about to speak in unison, they saw Duan Lao frowning at them.

He never dared to say another word, and turned to chase after their wives.

Duan Laosi's two families had left, and those close confidants and guards in the hall didn't need Duan Lao to say anything. They silently retreated on their own.

The three sisters of Duan Xiang looked at each other. Without hearing what Old Duan said, they knew they could attend the meeting.

"Shunan, would you and your daughter be interested in attending the core meeting of my Duan family"

Mr. Duan's third clearing of the field was aimed at Mr. and Ms. Chen.

"No."

Chen Shou nan hastily bent over and answered in a low voice.

The old man himself said that this was the core meeting of the Duan family. What qualifications do the Chen father and daughter have to participate

"Go on. Get a good night's sleep. Like I said, the sky won't fall."

Lao Duan said faintly, raising his hand in a gesture.

"Yes, Shunan understands."

Chen Shunan once again bent over in a bow, softly responded after the sound, and looked at Chen Yuer.

Even though Chen Yuer is a clever and intelligent ghost, she still couldn't understand what Li Nanfang meant.

She caused such a huge disaster for the Duan family, it's as if she deserved to die a hundred times over and still wouldn't be enough to atone. How could she possibly be let off so easily

"Come on, I'm not a sofa."

Li Nanfang pushed her out of his arms. Seeing that she was still dazed, he could only nod at the watch on her right wrist.

He tapped my watch. What did that mean

Chen Yuer walked out of the hall like a dream, and when she looked up at the sky after passing through the moon gate, it was still hazy.

He is not showing you the watch, he is showing you time.

Chen Shunan spoke.

"What time is it"

Chen Yuer lowered her head and raised her hand, watching the time on the watch until ten o'clock. Suddenly, she understood.

It is already 10 am, and it has been six or seven hours since Gao Changzheng and the others took Duan Xiangning away.

But now, the Daguashan Manor, which had been reinforced by a machine and even blocked off at the road, remained eerily silent.

What does this mean

It can only be explained that the military has tacitly acknowledged that Duan Xiangning is the person suspected of leaking top-secret military intelligence.

Although Duan Xiangning grew up here, she got married several years ago. In a strict sense, she is no longer part of the Duan family.

Since Duan Xiangning is not considered a member of the Duan family, what does her wrongdoing have to do with the Duan family

If it's really about something, the military would definitely take appropriate action before dawn.

For example, if troops block the road leading to Fengsuo Mountain Villa from the lower path, it would then become a siege of Duanjia Mountain Villa.

After Duan Xiangning was taken away, Old Master Duan made everyone, including the Chen family, wait in the hall because he was waiting for Qin Jing to arrive.

Luckily, the military chose to make the best of a bad situation.

The military's act of making the best of a bad situation is not acting with personal bias or injustice, but because the Duan family cannot afford to make any mistakes at the moment.

The Duan clan, who have been ruling Dali for generations, are the stabilizing force here.

If they suddenly had an accident, it would inevitably trigger some commotion, and then be exploited by Western forces hostile to China.

So before the military took Duan Xiangning away, they had already held an emergency meeting and finally decided to temporarily stand down. The soldiers stationed under Duan's family manor were also quietly withdrawn, as if they had never been there.

They also hope that the Duan family can remain calm as they should.

Just pretend it never happened.

As long as the military and the Duan family remain calm, then the Western forces quietly operating in Dali would have no more opportunities to stir up trouble.

Old Duan did not disappoint the military.

The military also gave Lao Duan what he wanted.

This way, both parties can secretly and calmly negotiate solutions to their problems.

The reason is simple.

Besides Old Mr. Duan and Li Nanfang, everyone else didn't notice.

Lao Duan could tell because his composure had long since reached its peak.

Li Nanfang could tell because from last night to now, he had been observing the situation from a bystander's perspective.

The bystander is clear, the participant is confused.

"So that's how it is."

Chen Shunan finally understood, his body staggered and he slid to the ground.

Chen Yuer hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm: "Dad, what's wrong with you"

"Scared."

Chen Shunan smiled faintly with a pale face, and said frankly.

Chen Shunan was terrified before being kicked out by Duan Lao.

I'm still afraid.

But the fear now is different from the fear back then.

That fear stemmed from the unwillingness to let this matter implicate the Chen family of Lingnan, even at the cost of one's own life.

Now that things have happened, they realize their father and daughter are truly in trouble and it's really affecting the Chen family.

The military still doesn't know—at least, they pretend not to know—that their father and daughter are at the Duan family. Of course, they wouldn't go to the Chen family to negotiate about a national security leak.

What if they die here

Did the Chen family in Lingnan really think that after the Chen father and daughter died at the hands of the Duan family, they would choose to believe them and let things go

Of course not.

The Chen family claims that the Duan family is shifting blame by saying they killed their father and daughter, falsely accusing them of treason.

If things went that way, the Chen family would be left with no way out.

Unlike now, Duan Xiangning has already taken the blame for the Duan family. The Duan family can temporarily stay out of it, and the Chen family will not be implicated.

Of course, for such a major incident as a military intelligence leak, both the Duan family and the Chen family would be under the army's secret surveillance until the truth was verified.

If they sense something is amiss, they will immediately become confrontational.

After briefly explaining the intricate connections, Chen Shunan stared intently into Chen Yuer's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Yuer, I need you to tell me seriously once again. The confidential information you leaked to Shen Yun is fake."

Chen Yuer raised her hand and addressed the sky, saying each word with agonizing deliberation: "It's false. If I lie, may I be a prostitute for eternity."

Although Chen Yuer's vow made Chen Shunan feel uncomfortable after hearing it, he still smiled: "That's good—."

Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes suddenly rolled back, and his head slumped softly against his daughter's shoulder.

Chen Shou-nan still believes in his daughter.

After repeatedly confirming that she had not leaked top-secret military intelligence, she was tortured to the brink of collapse. Her spirit could no longer hold up. Her vision darkened, and she fainted.

Chen Yuer held onto her father's waist tightly, stood there looking up at the sky and whispered: "Dad, I swear, I will never worry you again. If I lie, let me be struck by lightning."

Click!

Before her words could fade, the heavens, once bathed in the vibrant hues of dawn, now heavy with impending gloom, were suddenly rent by a deafening roar.

Just like the face on a cloud had been flipped over, large raindrops the size of soybeans came tumbling down with a roar.

Li Nanfang was also startled by the thunder. He looked up at the window and smiled: "Grandpa, I'll go back to Xiangning's room for a while. If there's anything you need me to do, just call me."

"Have a seat."

Duan Lao shook his head. "I remember I once said, you are a member of the Duan family. Of course, you have to attend this core meeting."
