Chapter 327: Reactions Sparked by Identity

The four members of the Zhang Family remained motionless and silent.

Yue Yao knew what had happened earlier and understood that Li Yan had used his presence to scare off the other Assassins. However, due to identity issues, she couldn’t say much.

Upon hearing the sound of the car starting and driving away outside, Yue Yao realized that Li Yan might be avoiding showing up at the moment or had other matters to resolve, so she cooperated.

"Yurong... Uncle, Auntie... Those people... did they go upstairs to find something valuable?... Should we call the police?" Yue Yao cuddled up to Zhang Yurong, breaking the silence with a look of lingering fear.

Zhang Yurong couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Find something valuable? Judging by their previous demeanor, did they look like robbers?

Apart from the one who was knocked unconscious, only Zhang Tianyi among the three conscious ones was a man; he was also the family head and a leader in the company. Faced with the Assassins’ threats to his wife and daughter’s safety, he restrained himself from acting rashly. But now, with the danger alleviated, as the backbone of the family, he needed to speak up.

"Don’t be afraid; we’re safe now." Gripping his wife and daughter’s hands, and offering words of comfort to Yue Yao, Zhang Tianyi calmly said, "They aren’t ordinary robbers; when they went upstairs, it wasn’t to steal. They probably left through a window."

"Then... what should we do? Were those real guns they used earlier?" Yue Yao seemed still shaken, pointing to the gun left on the floor in the distance.

Yurong laughed bitterly, "They probably were real guns, and now..."

She didn’t know what to say; her thoughts weren’t here but with the departed Li Yan!

Even hearing the words earlier, using international language, she recognized Li Yan’s voice. But why did it end like this? How could Li Yan just scare away those terrifying Assassins with a few words?

Did they really leave? Why didn’t Li Yan come in, but instead drove away?

Could it be an agreed secret code to resolve it elsewhere?

Is he... in danger? What exactly is his identity?

But these questions couldn’t be answered now; she could only wait for Li Yan to return to discuss them. Immediately, Yurong took a deep breath, temporarily setting aside her concerns for Li Yan and letting go of the negative pressure from earlier. Her parents were elderly, her father’s health wasn’t good, and Yue Yao had never experienced something like this. With Li Yan absent, she felt she should shoulder the responsibility to stabilize everyone!

"It’s fine now! I’ll wake everyone up first, see if anyone needs to go to the hospital." Yurong stood up.

At that moment, she felt a sense of loss; if Li Yan were here, she probably wouldn’t need to worry about these things. In terms of life-threatening situations, she regarded him as her most anticipated reliance!

Yurong displayed her coordination skills, first comforting her parents, letting her mother take care of her father, and together with Yue Yao, waking up the others who were knocked out. In fact, except for the security guard who followed Zhang Tianyi out for a walk, the others didn’t even understand what had happened before being knocked out; only now, when awakened, were they feeling confused.

She then handled everyone’s doubts, instructing the security guard to keep quiet about it, and allowed them to continue their respective tasks.

After settling down, the four of them continued sitting in the living room. Although knowing that those who went upstairs only avoided confronting directly, it was still psychologically daunting to ask them to go up and rest now.

Yue Yao made hot tea for everyone and quietly sat with them.

...

"That person earlier... the one speaking outside..." Yang Yun broke the silence, wanting to say how the voice sounded like Li Yan.

But seeing everyone’s reactions, she didn’t say it, as it seemed everyone felt the same but the topic seemed awkward to discuss.

"Ahem... By the way, Yurong, when you came over, did Xiao Li know? Otherwise, if he comes home and doesn’t find you all, he’ll worry. Besides..." She didn’t continue, but frowned, questioning why Assassins would target their home. What about where Yurong was staying?

Yurong and Yue Yao were controlled upon entering, and afterwards, they all remained silent without an opportunity to communicate. Hearing her mom’s words, Yurong managed a smile, "I did call him; he said he’d come as soon as possible. Maybe... he’ll be here shortly."

Of course, she spoke insincerely, everyone recognized the voice outside as Li Yan’s. But until he admitted it himself, she couldn’t say it. By this point, even unsure of Li Yan’s identity, they could perceive the danger! Even...

She worried tonight’s danger was brought about because of Li Yan’s actions!

If so, would her parents still want her to stay with him?

She didn’t want to ponder if she accepted his identity, first worrying her parents might not accept it.

"Old man, what’s going on? Why would people want to kill you? Did you offend anyone?" Yang Yun complained to Zhang Tianyi.

Though inside, they were merely threatened without firing, outside she genuinely felt the danger.

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand impatiently, "Stop nagging, let me have some peace to figure out what’s going on!"
