She Knows All the Tricks!

After the secret meeting with Liu Liu and Liu Ba ended, Liu Wenjian returned alone to the Liu Family residence.

The luxurious residence that only Liu Haitao's family had once been allowed to enter had now become one of Liu Wenjian's three temporary places to stay.

Although the Liu Family Disciples responsible for guarding the place were not all among the Liu Family's strongest fighters, every one of them had signed a Servant Contract with Liu Wenjian individually.

In a sense, they could also be considered Liu Wenjian's trusted confidants.

However, when faced with the respectful and ingratiating looks cast his way by the guards, Liu Wenjian did not even shift his gaze.

He merely entered the residence expressionlessly, leaving those people with a cold, indifferent back.

Those in power did not need to display too much kindness or approachability, because that would only make others see them as weak.

Liu Wenjian knew very well what sort of people the Liu Family Disciples who had signed Servant Contracts with him used to be.

Likewise, he also knew very well what sort of person he himself was.

He entered the villa and made his way through the winding corridors.

After passing through two checkpoints as heavily guarded as before, Liu Wenjian arrived at the door to the deepest basement of the Liu Family residence.

After waving for the guards to leave, Liu Wenjian waited there for quite some time.

Only after confirming that everything was in order did he remove the restrictions around the basement, open the iron door, and step inside.

Hearing the movement outside, Liu Ruyan—who had been lying in bed for most of the day without the slightest hint of sleepiness—shot upright, clutching the silk quilt to cover most of her body as she watched the door warily.
