Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu listened to Nangong Tianshou's words without any extreme reaction, and simply corrected him calmly, "It was us."

"Don't drag me into this. I'm just staying temporarily. If you mess with these people, I won't stand by you."

Secretary Wu's eyes widened. "Teacher Yu was right. I didn't see the true nature of things. I wanted to treat you even better, but it seems I was just indulging in wishful thinking."

Nangong Tianshou was taken aback. "What did that girl say behind my back this time?"

Secretary Wu hurriedly waved his hand, "Didn't you say anything? I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

Secretary Wu finished his tea and stood up to leave.

"Stop right there and explain yourself." Nangong Tianshou placed the teacup on the table, making a crisp sound.

Nangong Tianshou is very thin now, and his clothes look terrible on him.

But even though it was just a very soft sentence and a very small crisp sound, Secretary Wu still felt a shiver run down his spine for no reason.

His tense body straightened involuntarily. He stammered, "She really didn't say anything? She just said you're here to recuperate, and you should leave once you're better."

"That's all?"

"Yes, yes, that's all. Teacher Yu doesn't talk much, and sometimes I have to guess what she means."

When did she say that?

"That's when I started arranging to find you a chef." Secretary Wu lowered her eyes, pushing the timeline back a few days.

Nangong Tianshou's face instantly darkened. "What else did she say?"

"She didn't say anything. Niannian left without saying goodbye, and Teacher Yu went straight into seclusion. I didn't dare to ask!" Secretary Wu said pitifully.

Nangong Tianshou's tone softened, "That Butler Han left, so you came here?"

Secretary Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead. A tiger is a tiger, even if it's sick.

For some reason, as soon as Nangong Tianshou unleashed his aura, Secretary Wu's legs started trembling.

After calming himself down, Secretary Wu replied to Nangong, "Yes, when Teacher Yu is in seclusion, no matter how important the matter, it cannot be disturbed. I was in a hurry and that's why I disturbed you. But don't worry, this will never happen again."

Seeing that Secretary Wu's lips had turned white, Nangong Tianshou toned down his imposing aura. "You made the right decision to come to me. She's in seclusion, Qingyuan isn't involved, and you've never been in contact with any hidden families. Who else could you turn to if not me?"

Secretary Wu thought to herself: "With such an unpredictable temper, it's no wonder your mother-in-law doesn't agree. If it were me, I wouldn't agree either, and I'd let you be a single dog for the rest of your life."

Nangong Tianshou, of course, had no idea what was going on in Secretary Wu's mind. He was already considering what he should do in the worst-case scenario.

Yu Meng also sent him a communication bell, but unfortunately, while he was unconscious, the Nangong family took it away. But the outcome is predictable: unless they don't investigate, once they open it, the communication bell will be destroyed!

Nangong Tianshou pondered for a moment, then, seeing Secretary Wu still standing there, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and get busy. Once I have a clue, I'll have Xiao Hao come find you."

Secretary Wu left the tea room and leaned against the wall to calm herself down. Although she had been startled, the outcome was still good.

Secretary Wu left with a mysterious smile. Xiao Hao saw him on the way and greeted him.

"Xiao Hao, I still have some snacks that your Aunt Niannian bought. Why don't you play with me for a while? Your third grandfather is thinking about something, so let's not disturb him."

"Then I'll go tell my third grandfather. He'll be worried if he can't find me."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

Secretary Wu watched Xiao Hao run off into the distance, "What a good kid, it's a pity he's following Nangong."

Xiao Hao returned quickly, grabbing Secretary Wu's hand. "Where's Aunt Niannian? I haven't seen her yet!"

"She's gone on a mission and won't be back for a long time. But she bought all that delicious food; she said it was a gift for you," Secretary Wu coaxed Xiao Hao.

"Really? She still remembers me? Grandpa Wu, I've grown so much. Do you think she still recognizes me?"

"How come I don't remember? When you came, didn't your Aunt Meng recognize you right away?"

"Yeah, I thought she didn't recognize me. But my aunt called out my name right away." Xiao Hao was clearly very happy.

An old man and a child walked slowly, their voices gradually fading into the wind.

……

Three days later, Butler Han had his young master brought over by a escort team of fifty people.

Secretary Wu was stunned. Was this person really that important? Or was he using numbers to tell others that the Hou family was not to be trifled with?

No matter how he thought about it, he still arranged accommodations for these people. The guards didn't have any particular requirements, as long as they were close to the young master.

But trouble arose when it came to the two young girls. They complained that the place was too shabby and refused to stay. Secretary Wu was puzzled. Why bring two girls here at a time like this? Did this young master have some kind of unusual hobby?

Secretary Wu didn't ask why and simply took the person to the hotel. Actually, this hotel was also a property that Yu Meng had brought back, but Secretary Wu just didn't say it out loud.

Qingyuan came with Qian Chuan and Teacher Sun.

On the bed was a very young man, but now his face was pale and his breathing was weak, but Qingyuan immediately noticed a thumb ring on his thumb.

She stepped forward and lifted his hand. The shape of the ring came into view. "This is Yu Meng's technique."

The captain of the guards reached out his hand, intending to stop him, but upon hearing Qingyuan's words, he lowered his hand and silently took a step back.

When he arrived, Butler Han had instructed him to take good care of the young master's ring, saying that having it might make things go much more smoothly.

Teacher Sun simply exchanged a glance with Qingyuan, nodded, and indicated that she understood.

Qingyuan glanced at the guards around her. "You may all leave?"

The guards didn't move, and the captain looked at Secretary Wu.

Secretary Wu nodded and left the room first. "Let's go. I promised Brother Han that I would do my best to treat your young master."

Inside the room, Qingyuan looked at Teacher Sun and asked, "Shall we do it, you or me?"

"I'll go first. If it doesn't work, then you can try."

Qingyuan nodded. For the past few days, she had been reflecting on whether they would have been completely ruined if Yu Meng hadn't intervened. They wouldn't have even been able to retrieve the most basic alien artifact.

They couldn't even protect their home, letting people in, and they couldn't get the alien out. Have they now become a burden to Yu Meng?

Therefore, when Secretary Wu mentioned that there was another patient like Nangong who had been infected with a mutant, she decided that, provided her life was not in danger, she would go and practice.

"Use your full strength," Qingyuan reminded him.

Teacher Sun was also a key member of the original Jingchuan base, but she was too low-key and spoke little. In fact, her strength was not weak, but her presence was extremely low.

One by one, the alien shapes were pulled out of his mind. Qian Chuan stepped forward and poured the medicine in his hand into the young master's mouth.

"We'll continue in ten minutes," he said softly.

Qingyuan laughed. Qian Chuan really is a genius. It hasn't been long, and he can already handle things with ease.
