In the car, Jiro asked his daughter. “Did you tell Xinyue about Count Maxwell?”
Mayumi Keiko nodded at him. “Xinyue is Aunt Reina’s daughter, and we’ve known each other since childhood, so I can’t let her die in his hands.”
However, Jiro’s expression turned serious, and he asked her again. “Do you know anything about Mo Xie? You might think I don’t realize it, but I can see your expression when we talk about that guy, and I’m sure you know something about him.”
Shiori Aya became tense after hearing that, but Mayumi Keiko smiled and casually answered her father. “I do know Mo Xie because I once met him at Xinyue’s casino, and he killed Alan right in front of us. However, I don’t know much about him, and I only know that he has a fire superpower because he used it to burn them to ashes.”
“Is that so?” Mayumi Keiko just nodded to him, and Jiro asked her again. “What exactly happened to Mo Ling? I can’t believe that he suddenly got sick.”
“Mo Ling wanted to attack me earlier.” Jiro raised his eyebrows after he heard that, and Mayumi Keiko explained it to her father again. “However, his expression suddenly became strange, and he seemed frightened by something, but I didn’t see anything in that place.”
“Hmm?” Jiro fell into deep thought as he continued to stare at his daughter with suspicious gaze, but Mayumi Keiko still looked relaxed. “Since you were at the scene of Alan’s death, Count Maxwell would have known about you by now, and you should have left our hotel when he came to see me tonight, or I wouldn’t be able to protect you from him.”
“Yes.” Mayumi Keiko answered with a nod of approval. However, she knew that her father said that not because he cared about her but because she was his valuable asset.
Shiori Aya then said to him. “I don’t want to meet that vampire, so I’ll be going out with our daughter.”
“All right.” Jiro himself also didn’t want Count Maxwell to meet his wife, so he immediately agreed to her request without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Shen Yu had arrived at the hospital, and she immediately questioned Yu Wen and Bei Qiang about Yang Lang, but their answers were not satisfactory for her.
Shen Yu then tried to contact Yang Lang, but of course she couldn’t reach him, especially since Chen Li had already thrown him into the void, and he should be dead by now. “What happened? Why can’t I contact him?”
“What happened, Mom?” Yu Wen asked his mother.
“I can’t contact Yang Lang.” After she answered her son’s question, Shen Yu directly contacted Bei Lian’er.
[Why did you suddenly contact me?] Bei Lian’er asked her.
“You may not care about your husband, but Yang Chen is in the hospital right now, so you better come here as soon as possible.” Shen Yu directly informed her about it.
Bei Lian’er was shocked to hear that. [What happened to Chen’er? Did Yang Lang injure him?]
“No. It was my son and Bei Xiang who injured him, but they did that because your son attacked them first.” Bei Lian’er instantly fell silent upon hearing that, and Shen Yu spoke to her again. “Anyway, I can’t contact Yang Lang, so you can come here right now.”
[All right, I will go there right away.]
After Shen Yu ended their call, Bei Qiang asked her. “Is Aunt Lian’er coming here? Is she taking my mother with her?”
“Lian’er will be here soon, but I don’t know whether she will take Yu Xuan with her or not.” Shen Yu replied as she shook her head.
Bei Qiang sighed softly after he heard that, especially since his mother and sister had been away from home for so long, and they had never contacted him once.
After they waited for quite a while, Bei Lian’er finally arrived at the ward, went straight to her son, and sobbed at his condition. “Why did you guys beat Chen’er like this?”
Hearing that, Bei Qiang immediately told his aunt everything from the beginning, which made Bei Lian’er feel confused by her son’s behavior. ‘Could it be that Chen Li has done something to Chen’er? Otherwise, he can’t possibly attack them, for their relationship has always been good.’
Suddenly, Shen Yu pulled Bei Lian’er to sit beside her. “Is it true that you are living together with Mo Xie now?”
“Is that true, Aunt Lian’er? Are my mother and sister also living with Mo Xie now?” Bei Qiang also asked her.
Bei Lian’er sighed softly and nodded to them. “We are indeed living with Mo Xie now.”
“Why are you three staying with him? Have you all forgotten that Mo Xie is our enemy?” Shen Yu and Bei Qiang asked angrily at the same time. ．
Bei Lian’er raised her eyebrows after she heard that. “You guys may regard Mo Xie as your enemy, but he is not mine or Yu Xuan’s enemy, and he treats us far better than Yang Lang and my brother!”
“You-”
Shen Yu wanted to curse at her, but Bei Lian’er immediately glared at her, which made her cower. ‘What the hell with her? Why is she so scary now?’
Not only Shen Yu, but Bei Qiang and Yu Wen also felt frightened by the look in Bei Lian’er’s eyes, and they had never seen her act so cold before.
After all, the current Bei Lian’er was no longer an ordinary human but a cultivator, and her cultivation had also increased quite significantly after she had dual-cultivated with Chen Li for so long. “Our relationship has always been good, but you better not meddle in my personal affairs. For me, Mo Xie is a good person, and he has rescued me from a pit of misery.”
Without saying anything else, Shen Yu and the two men immediately left the ward, for they were truly terrified of Bei Lian’er.
Bei Lian’er then sighed softly, walked up to her son, and rubbed his cheek. “I’m sorry, Chen’er. I really want to save you from being punished for what you did to Chen Li, but I know that it’s’s already his limit, so I can’t beg him any further, or else he’ll change his mind and kill you.”

Outside the hospital, Yu Wen asked his mother. “What do you think happened to Aunt Lian’er, Mom?”
“I never saw my aunt like that before; her character is indeed short-tempered, but she has never been so cold before.” Bei Qiang said as he took a deep breath.
Shen Yu shook her head at them, for she herself couldn’t understand what had happened to Bei Lian’er. “Perhaps she’s been influenced by Mo Xie, so she’s acting like that towards us now. Anyway, you two can go to the Yang house to find Yang Lang, and I’ll talk to your fathers to discuss this matter with them.”
“All right.” After that, they immediately parted ways and went to their respective destinations.

“Young Miss, Miss Keiko called you earlier.” Nan Yi said to Nan Xinyue after they arrived at her room.
Nan Xinyue was surprised to hear that. “Why did Sister Keiko suddenly contact me?”
“Miss Keiko told me that Alan’s father will arrive in this country tonight, and he wants to find his son’s killer.” Nan Xinyue was shocked to hear that, and Nan Yi spoke to her again. “That’s why she asked you to go to Mo Xie’s mansion immediately, for you will only be safe from him if you stay there.”
Nan Xinyue was in a dilemma after hearing that. For nearly two weeks, she busied herself with various other matters in hopes that she could forget Chen Li, and her efforts had been quite successful. But now, Nan Yi suddenly mentioned his name in front of her again, which disturbed her feelings.
Nan Yi sighed at Nan Xinyue’s expression, for she knew her feelings very well. “Young miss, I know you want to forget Mo Xie, but this situation is really dire, and your father won’t be able to save you from Count Maxwell either. So I hope you don’t be stubborn and go to his mansion right away, and he can definitely protect you from him.”
“Do you really believe that Mo Xie can protect me?” Nan Xinyue asked with a soft sigh.
Nan Yi nodded to her. “Mo Xie can kill ten vampires so easily, even your father and I won’t be able to do such a thing. Besides, he also managed to help Miss Keiko, and other superpower possessors have never been able to do that, so I believe that he can protect you from Count Maxwell.”
After she thought for a while, Nan Xinyue sighed softly and nodded to Nan Yi, and then she walked out as she said. “All right, let’s go to Mo Xie’s mansion now.”
Nan Yi was relieved after she heard that, and she immediately followed Nan Xinyue out of the room.

After Chen Li left the Void and returned to his mansion, Feng Xian’er immediately pulled him into the bathroom and helped him clean up. She then informed him about Jiro’s conversation with those people, and his expression became furious after he listened to everything, but she said it straight to him. “Hubby, I hope you don’t kill him, or Sister Keiko and Aunt Aya will be very sad. However, I won’t stop you if you want to do something else against him, for he is our enemy.”
