"Thank you, Old Master."

Lu Junyou said slowly.

Old Master Lu patted his shoulder and said, "I’ve seen all you’ve done over the years, Junyou. Although you and Shuangshuang share a bit of blood relation, it’s already beyond the fifth degree of kinship, so it shouldn’t matter much."

"Yes."

"After you return, make sure to get a thorough check-up. Shuangshuang has already been examined and there’s nothing wrong with her, but you two haven’t had children for so many years. Find out the reason."

"Yes, Old Master. I will definitely get a check-up after going back." A shadow flickered in Lu Junyou’s eyes.

"Hmm."

Old Master Lu sighed, "This time, after bringing Shuangshuang back, make sure others see us as the weaker side, forcing the Jiang Family to concede something. You know what to do, don’t you?"

"Old Master, I understand."

"That’s good."

Lu Shuangshuang felt a bit uneasy at heart. She was very tired, but too much had happened that day, and she couldn’t fall asleep.

This time, she intended to force herself to sleep, but as soon as she lay down, two men barged in from outside. Without a word, they rushed over, showing no consideration for her, grabbing her arms roughly and pulling her out of bed.

"You..."

What kind of robbers were these?

Whether they were from the Jiang Family or the Lu Family, shouldn’t they treat her gently and take her back respectfully?

Before she could finish her sentence, one of them brought out a cloth soaked in sleep-inducing drugs, tightly covering her mouth and nose.

Lu Shuangshuang struggled hard, her eyes wide with shock and anger, but her consciousness ultimately couldn’t resist the effect of the drug. Soon, her eyelids drooped, and she was too weak to struggle.

"Quick, take her away."

Outside, the other men had all been knocked out and were taken away as well.

Jiang Shiheng received the news, and as he learned they had been found, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Sun Han came in to report, "Old Master Lu has returned to the Jiang Family once more and wants to invite the Sixth Young Master and Old Master to discuss how to find Lu Shuangshuang."

"They’re in the hall now?"

"Yes."

"Go tell Old Master to play chess with Doctor Chen."

He himself also walked to the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and prepared to grind the ink.

This was...

Jiang Shiheng said, "Let them wait, and teach them that the Jiang Family is no longer a place where they can come and go as they please, nor are we always waiting to greet and bid farewell to his elderly self."

"Understood."

As Sun Han was about to leave, Jiang Shiheng added, "Send someone to see who is eager to entertain them at such a time, and note both the people and the reactions for me."

"Yes."

After Sun Han left, Jiang Shiheng wrote a word on the paper.

Attack.

Offense is the best defense.

They had been passive for too long, and now they couldn’t remain so passive, following others’ pace.

Old Master Jiang received the message, stayed silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.

"I understand, follow the Sixth Young Master’s instructions."

He shook his head, saying to Chen Baoshen, "Many times, things should still be left to the young ones, after all, I’m getting old."

Chen Baoshen went to fetch the chess pieces, smiling, "Isn’t this good? With the Sixth Young Master and Xiao Chiang, Old Master, just enjoy good food and drinks, and don’t worry too much."

"Yes, they are clever."

So, in the end, it would certainly be a satisfactory result for him.
