Too many questions remained unanswered.
The unease in Dugu Linglong's heart kept deepening.
All she hoped now was that Chu Xuan had not suffered any further harm.
As for the ancestral master's remains...
As long as they hurried back, there should still be time to gather them up and bury them again.
The two left the guest room and reached the entrance of the main residence, where Liu Ruyan had already arranged a car to take them to the airport.
She was still wearing her black-and-white business outfit.
A black jacket rested over her shoulders, sheer stockings hugged her long, slender legs, and her red-soled stilettos stood firmly on the steps.
The words "Come back soon," which had slipped out in the guest room earlier, seemed not to have affected her at all.
At least on the surface.
Liu Ruyan remained the Liu Family's eldest daughter, coolly beautiful and composed, her emotions hidden from view.
"The flight details have been confirmed."
She handed Jiang Che two freshly printed boarding passes.
"The Liu Family's driver will take you to the airport."
"I've also had our branch office in Xi'an arrange a car in advance."
"Once you land, you can head straight to Mount Zhongnan."
Dugu Linglong accepted her boarding pass.
"Sorry for the trouble, Miss Liu."
"There's no need to be so polite, Master."
Liu Ruyan gently shook her head.
"You've already helped us a great deal by recovering our ancestor's remains."
"Besides, Chu Xuan ran into trouble again just after leaving the Liu Family."
"Whatever the circumstances, we can't simply stand by."
Her words were impeccably tactful.
She showed Dugu Linglong every respect without bringing up any of Chu Xuan's previous outrageous actions.
"The car is here."
Liu Ruyan glanced at the black sedan parked below the steps.
"Please, Master."
