After calming down, An Yu’s intelligence also followed suit.

After understanding, he stopped shouting, stopped yelling, and the room quieted down.

The guard stationed outside, who was originally having a headache due to An Yu’s shouting, found the sudden quiet inside the room unusual, and felt even more uneasy.

Though they’re acting under orders, if anything were to happen to the young master, the gentleman would certainly not reflect on his own mistakes, but would first take it out on them.

This is the crushing force of power, and the sorrow of being under someone else’s thumb.

The two exchanged a glance, one of them stepped forward, walked to the door, knocked twice, and cautiously asked, "Young Master, it is not that we are unwilling to let you out; it’s just that the gentleman has commanded us, and we can’t disobey. We hope you can forgive us."

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside.

Bewildered and confused, the guard turned his head to look at his companion, unable to conceal the worry in his eyes.

The sudden silence inside, could it be that the young master has found a way to escape?

Don’t say that there’s no possibility; after all, their master is a well-known old fox in the capital city, and the young master has had a reputation for intelligence from a young age, surely his intelligence is not to be underestimated.

The other person clearly had the same concern, stepped forward to the door, and said, "Young Master? Young Master? Are you still there?"

Inside, An Yu still remained silent, calmly sitting there, holding a cup of clear tea in his hand.

Whether his heart was as calm as his appearance, that was unknown.

After all, he had spent considerable effort to come here, to find An Ning and the Yan family.

And An Bingfeng had already decided to leave at dawn tomorrow, and wouldn’t even give them a chance to see each other one last time before leaving, which could be deemed quite cruel.

"Young Master... Young Master..."

After calling out several times, there was still no answer inside, making the two guards even more certain of their thoughts.

"What do we do now?" one of them spoke.

The other pondered for a moment and decided, "Open the door and see!"

"This... wouldn’t this be bad?" the other worried.

If they opened the door and the young master ran out, they wouldn’t be able to bear the master’s reproach.

"Open it and have a look, if something happens to the young master, we can’t bear it even more."

Finally, that person took out the key and opened the door.

However, upon seeing An Yu calmly drinking tea inside, their hearts were at ease and yet choked.

Turns out, while they were outside worrying for half the day, the young master was inside drinking tea, making no sound.

People tend to subconsciously push their mistakes onto others.

Just like now, though they felt some resentment towards An Yu for not responding earlier, they didn’t even think about how they hadn’t responded when An Yu was pounding the doors shouting.

But the status and position are indisputable—no matter the slight displeasure in their hearts, when facing An Yu, they must hold it in and even try their best to appease this ancestral figure.

"Young Master, since you’re fine, we’ll withdraw now..." An Yu’s calm gaze, however, made them dare not look directly at him.

It was the bolder guard who dared to say that one more sentence before trying to close the door again.

Anyway, he scolded himself inwardly for being so meddlesome as to open the door!

Luckily, the young master seemed to have calmed down and was acting fairly honestly now.
