Chapter 86 How dare Jiang Xinlan come to Beijing?! What does she want to do?!
Shen Yu knelt down, embraced both children, and patiently explained to them:
"Mom and Dad have to go to Beijing to take care of something very important. You're still too young and have to go to school, so it's not convenient to take you with us. Dear Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad will video chat with you every day, okay?"
He gently pinched his daughter's soft cheek, his tone tender yet firm:
"When Mom and Dad come back, we'll bring Niannian the prettiest princess dress and Guigui the latest model airplane, okay? Dad promises you, we'll definitely be back in a week at most."
The two children were sensible after all. Listening to their parents, although they were still reluctant to part, they obediently nodded.
Niannian extended her little finger and said in a tearful voice:
"Then Mom and Daddy must pinky promise, you can't lie to Niannian, and you must come back soon."
"Okay, pinky promise."
Shen Yu smiled and extended his little finger, hooking it with his daughter's, and then with his son's. Only then did the two children finally calm down, snuggling in their grandparents' arms and stopping their fussing.
After taking care of these matters, Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan packed their things and headed to the airport.
At the airport, Lu Zongming and his private jet were already waiting.
When the private plane took off for Beijing, Liu Qingxuan also received the news.
"Master! Half an hour ago, news came from Jiangcheng that Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan took a private plane to Beijing."
Liu Qingxuan suddenly stood up from the armchair, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, followed by a sinister smile.
"Great, that's wonderful."
"I haven't even gone to see him yet, but he's come to me on his own."
"Jiangcheng is his territory, and I have no say in that. But Beijing is my territory."
He abruptly raised his hand, slamming his fingertips heavily on the table, and gave a stern order.
"Chen Mo, immediately go and prepare all the magical artifacts and talismans I've hidden in the secret room. I'm going to set up an inescapable trap for him in the capital."
Let him know that Beijing is not a place where he can run wild! If he dares to come, he should have the courage to come and not leave alive!
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Mo bowed in agreement, then turned and quickly retreated.
Liu Qingxuan walked to the window, looking in the direction of Jiangcheng, his eyes surging with murderous intent.
Shen Yu, Jiang Xinlan.
Since you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep, don't blame me for being ruthless.

At 5 p.m., the plane landed at Beijing Airport on time.
The setting sun pierced through the airport's glass dome, casting its light upon the bustling crowds.
Shen Yu led Jiang Xinlan out of the VIP passage, his fingertips always holding her with a warm, protective grip.
Behind them, Lu Zongming, accompanied by two bodyguards in black, carrying their luggage, followed quickly toward the exit.
At the exit, the black convoy that Lu Zongming had arranged in advance was already waiting. Security personnel in black suits stood ramrod straight beside the cars, forming a tight defense line.
"Mr. Shen, Ms. Jiang, the car is ready." Lu Zongming quickly stepped forward, opened the car door, and said in a low voice.
"The accommodation is arranged in the Xishan villa area, less than two kilometers away from the Jiang family's old residence. The security personnel are all elderly people brought from Jiangcheng, so they are absolutely reliable. All the daily necessities in the villa have been prepared in advance according to Miss Jiang's habits, so you can rest assured."
Shen Yu nodded slightly and helped Jiang Xinlan into the back seat.
The car smoothly drove away from the airport and merged into the endless stream of traffic in Beijing.
Jiang Xinlan turned her head to look at the street scene rushing past the window, at this city that was both unfamiliar and yet seemed to have countless connections with her in the dark, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Yu noticed her nervousness, reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice gentle yet firm.
"With me here, no one can hurt you in the slightest."
Jiang Xinlan leaned against him, listening to his steady heartbeat, and her anxious heart gradually calmed down. She nodded and whispered:
"I'm not afraid. As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything."
Forty minutes later, the car entered the Xishan villa area and finally stopped in front of a lakeside detached villa.
The environment here is serene and secure, with high walls and tall camphor trees planted all around, isolating it from the noise of the outside world.
Stepping into the villa, the interior was decorated in a simple yet elegant style. From the tea set in the living room to the bedding in the bedroom, everything was a style that Jiang Xinlan was familiar with. Even her usual unscented hand cream was placed in the most prominent position on the sink.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lu." Jiang Xinlan felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at all this, and smiled at Lu Zongming.
"Of course, I'm glad Miss Jiang is satisfied." Lu Zongming quickly replied, then looked at Shen Yu.
"Mr. Shen, the security team is fully in place. The surveillance and security systems inside and outside the villa have been tested and are in three shifts to ensure there are no blind spots."
Shen Yu nodded. "Okay, you've worked hard. You should go and get some rest too."

Meanwhile, in the study of Qingxuan Temple on Qixia Mountain.
Chen Mo rushed in through the door, his voice urgent:
"Master! We've found out! Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan have landed in Beijing. Lu Zongming has arranged for them to stay at Linhu Garden in the Xishan Villa District, which is very close to the Jiang family's old residence!"
Liu Qingxuan sat in a grand chair, holding a string of sandalwood prayer beads in his hand. Upon hearing this, the beads stopped spinning abruptly.
He slowly raised his head, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes:
"They came really fast. And they even dare to stay near the Jiang family's old residence. It seems they really don't take me seriously."
"Master, what should we do now?" Chen Mo asked, bowing slightly, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
The memory of Zhao Ergou's death was still vivid in his mind, and he was filled with fear of Shen Yu, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"What to do?" Liu Qingxuan sneered, slamming the prayer beads heavily onto the table.
"Since he dares to come to my territory, he can forget about leaving alive. Chen Mo, you immediately take men to the Xishan villa area and keep a 24-hour watch on their every move. Report to me in detail who they meet, where they go, and everything else."
"yes!"
"Furthermore," Liu Qingxuan's voice turned cold,
"Call Wang Yuanhe and tell him to hold the 'Wind Rises in Chang'an' censorship firmly in place, even if it takes forever, don't let it pass the censorship. Anyone who dares to give in, make him prepare for his son's funeral."
"Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"
Chen Mo quickly agreed and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, at the Jiang family's old residence.
Upon learning from Liu Qingxuan that Jiang Xinlan had come to Beijing, Jiang Manli angrily smashed her limited-edition crystal glass, shards scattering all over the floor.
She screamed hysterically:
"What?! That bitch Jiang Xinlan is in Beijing?! How dare she come to Beijing?! What does she want?!"
The thought of Jiang Xinlan's face, which was exactly the same as Shen Jiao's, and the way Jiang Zhenbang would stare blankly at Shen Jiao's old photos, sent chills down her spine.
