Lu Xingzhi respected Old Master Liang, and the older man had made that call for the sake of Master Cheng. Lu Xingzhi did not ask for the reason over the phone; he agreed to his request. "Okay, then I'll wait for Old Master Liang at Master Cheng's manor."

Old Master Liang heaved a heavy sigh of relief on the helicopter. Then, he asked the pilot to speed up and rush toward the manor.

After Lu Xingzhi hung up the phone, he looked at Master Cheng. Then, he held Jiang Yao's hand and said, "Put the gun away. We'll wait for Old Master Liang in the lobby."

Lu Xingzhi decided to honor Old Master Liang's wishes, so he did not disturb the person on the bed. After he finished speaking, he held Jiang Yao's hand and turned to go downstairs. Zhou Junmin did not need Lu Xingzhi to say anything and followed behind him too.

After Lu Xingzhi's men had left, Cheng Jinyan revealed a nervous expression. However, that nervousness was only because he was worried about the person on the bed. He was relieved that the person on the bed was not affected and was still sleeping peacefully.

"Father, Xiao Nian, let's go downstairs too. Don't disturb Mother." Cheng Jinyan waved at Xiao Nian. When Xiao Nian walked toward him reluctantly, he touched his brother's head. He did not know how to comfort his brother.

Master Cheng stared at his wife on the bed and instructed the nurses to take care of her. Then, he turned around and left the ward.

"Father, since you have a relationship with Old Master Liang, why didn't you ask for his help in the first place? Lu Xingzhi and his wife are as close to the Liang family as family members. If you knew Old Master Liang, you could have asked him for help, but you've chosen to use the wrong method."

Cheng Jinyan felt the onset of a headache. "Young Master Lu is a protective person, and Director Jiang is also a person with a bad temper. Even if Old Master Liang came and asked for Director Jiang's help, she might not necessarily help us."

Cheng Jinyan understood Jiang Yao's temper through Huang Cheng's explanation. Jiang Yao seemed like a person who was easy to talk to, but she had her own way of dealing with people and matters. She treated the people she liked and her own people very well. It was good that she would not ask for anything in return, but she could also be cold-blooded and merciless to those who angered her.

"Do you think I have a relationship with Old Master Liang? So deep that I can ask for favors?" Master Cheng chuckled. "If it had come to that, I would have looked for Old Master Liang a long time ago."

"Then why is Old Master Liang here now?" Cheng Jinyan was puzzled.

"You don't know about the matters of the previous generation," Master Cheng said. He did not explain, but he made Cheng Jinyan understand that he had a trump card, which was why he could kidnap Jiang Yao without fear.

However, he did not expect Lu Xingzhi's wife to be so bold, nor did he expect Lu Xingzhi to come so quickly. Things had gone out of his expectations.

Lu Xingzhi sat on the sofa in the living room with Jiang Yao, just like he was at home. Lu Xiaoxiao had already been taken to the Tianjin Hospital. After the examination, she would be sent back to the army to be with her family.

Jiang Yao sat beside Lu Xingzhi and waited quietly. Even though she had many doubts in her heart and felt that it was strange that Lu Xingzhi had suddenly become so easy to talk to that day, she did not ask him regardless of the situation.

Master Cheng and the other two only went downstairs after a few minutes. After they looked at the people in the living room, Master Cheng walked to the main seat and sat down. He asked a servant to serve them tea.
