After Ye Heng finished assigning tasks.

Lin Ruofei walked to the window, her back to everyone.

Although she agreed to cooperate, the words "Eclipse Organization," "terrorist attack," and "80,000 spectators" weighed heavily on her mind.

While Ye Heng's guarantee was backed by the Spirit Group, he was simply too young, too young for her to entrust with her entire fortune, her life, and the expectations of those 80,000 people.

No, she needs more reliable protection.

Therefore, Lin Ruofei chose to call her father.

"dad.".

"Ruofei? Calling at this hour, is it because rehearsals aren't going well?" A calm and gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone; it was her father, Lin Zhenhai.

"It's not a rehearsal..." Lin Ruofei paused, organizing her thoughts, trying not to sound too panicked, but still briefly explained the Spirit Group's warning, Shi Yue's threat, and Ye Heng's proposed close protection plan.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

When he spoke again, Lin Zhenhai's voice suddenly turned serious, carrying an undeniable solemnity and a hint of urgency: "Nonsense! I never agreed to you entering this industry in the first place! Being in the public eye involves all sorts of people, and now you've gotten yourself into this mess!"

"Dad, this isn't the time to talk about this..." Lin Ruofei argued in a low voice, but she didn't have much confidence.

Her father had always opposed her entering the entertainment industry, believing it to be a profession for "actors" and one with uncontrollable risks.

"The concert is canceled immediately!" Lin Zhenhai said decisively. "What plans, what 'wiping them all out,' that's the Spirit Group's business, not yours! I'll contact my friends in the Demon Sea right away and arrange the fastest flight back for you!"

"Dad, we can't cancel. The contract has already been signed, the tickets have been sold, and the fans won't buy it. We can't just stop like that. Besides... the people from the Spirit Group said that canceling might send those people underground, which would be even more dangerous."

"Then let them go in danger! My daughter, Lin Zhenhai's daughter, is not to be used as bait!" Lin Zhenhai raised his voice slightly.

"How old is this Ye Heng? What's his background? The Spirit Group sending such a young man to handle such a major matter is irresponsible!"

Ye Heng stood a few steps away, and with his keen hearing, he could hear the father and daughter's conversation clearly.

He showed no expression. Lin Zhenhai's reaction was exactly what he expected. Any father's first reaction to hearing that his daughter was involved in such a thing would be to protect her rather than cooperate.

"Dad, I love music and I hope to make something of myself. I've worked so hard to achieve some success in the entertainment industry. If I cancel the concert at the last minute, my competitors will definitely take the opportunity to attack me. Not only will my career plummet, but I might even be subjected to cyberbullying."

"Therefore, this concert cannot be canceled at the last minute. Moreover, I believe that the Spirit Group can handle it well."

"Alright, Ruofei, if you don't want to cancel, Dad can't stop you. But you must promise me one thing."

"you say."

"I'll send Qin Wu over immediately. He'll protect you closely until the concert ends and you leave the Demon Sea safely." Lin Zhenhai's tone left no room for negotiation.

"You know Qin Wu's strength. He's at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, has been with me for over ten years, is loyal and reliable, and has a wealth of experience. I can only feel somewhat at ease with him by your side. As for that young man from the Spirit Group... he can assist, but for true security, Qin Wu must be the primary protector."

Qin Wu?

Lin Ruofei pictured a taciturn man with a towering, iron-like physique. He was a highly skilled individual her father had recruited by chance years ago, responsible for security in some of the Lin family's secret affairs. He was indeed formidable and composed.

She hesitated for a moment, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Ye Heng.

Ye Heng happened to look up as well, and their eyes met briefly in the air.

Ye Heng's eyes remained calm and unwavering, as if the argument he had just heard had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Ruofei thought about it carefully.

Would the Spirit Group really send an incompetent person to be in charge of such an important operation?

But the father's worries and Qin Wu's reliability were real.

"...Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad." Lin Ruofei finally gave in.

Having Qin Wu come over will at least put my father at ease and provide an extra layer of security. As for how to coordinate between Ye Heng and Qin Wu... we'll deal with that later.

"I'll have Qin Wu leave right away on the next available flight. He'll contact you directly. Ruofei, remember to be careful. If anything seems amiss, go with Qin Wu immediately, don't hesitate!" Lin Zhenhai gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone with a worried expression.

Lin Ruofei put away her phone, turned around, and faced Ye Heng.

"Mr. Ye, my father is worried about my safety, so he sent a bodyguard he trusts. He will arrive tomorrow. His name is Qin Wu, and his abilities... are quite good. I hope you can communicate and coordinate well with Qin Wu regarding security arrangements during the concert."

Ye Beiyuan frowned slightly and looked at Ye Heng.

She knew Ye Heng's strength; to be able to render a deputy director of the Spirit Group powerless clearly meant he had reached the pinnacle of combat power in the Great Xia Kingdom.

With such a person in charge, there's absolutely no need for anyone else to intervene.

Tianlang remained calm, knowing that Senior Ye would handle this matter himself.

Ye Heng simply nodded.

"Okay. Let him do it. Bei Yuan, prepare a list of basic information and precautions, and give it to Miss Lin to pass on."

Lin Ruofei was surprised that Ye Heng agreed without any hesitation.

Logically speaking, outsiders should be strictly prohibited from interfering in the actions of such officially organized groups.

She thought she would have to explain herself a few more times.

She vaguely sensed that the man in front of her didn't care about the process or who was involved; it seemed that as long as it didn't cause any trouble, he didn't care.

This attitude of being absolutely focused on the goal itself reveals an indescribable sense of control.

Lin Ruofei suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and nodded: "Okay, I will pass it on to Qin Wu. Then, my agent and team will fully cooperate with Ms. Ye Beiyuan and Mr. Tianlang regarding the following details."

Ye Heng nodded and said nothing more.

He was pondering his own cultivation technique. At present, his relationship with Su Yingxue was too delicate, and it would probably be difficult to improve his technique through her in the short term.

And the woman in front of him was undoubtedly the best choice.

But in these kinds of situations, it's best if it's consensual. The other person isn't Qiao Wei, and you shouldn't have offended him first.

He naturally wouldn't force the other party.
