"Let’s talk about it on the plane," An Yiqing felt warmth in her heart, grateful for Old Master Gu’s concern. She made a phone call to An Zhihang, then gestured for the squadron of men in black to head towards the An Family Villa.
On the plane, An Yiqing detailed everything that had happened that night. It was then that Gu Yelin understood his grandfather’s intentions. Having such a dangerous and mysterious enemy was indeed a thorny issue for the An Family.
"Tutu, did you go to the Yu Family in Jinyin City to make a replica?" Gu Yelin was clever, and quickly guessed An Yiqing’s intentions after learning about the events.
"Um, Brother Yu’s artifact refining skills are superb. I just sent him a photo of the bracelet, and he said that as long as the other party doesn’t know the specific functions of the bracelet, using a replica to deceive them would be foolproof." An Yiqing nodded and shared the content of her call with Yu Tianyou with Gu Yelin.
According to the records in the bracelet, it was a treasured item of Li Wanniang’s Shimen. Aside from her master, the Sect Leader, and herself, nobody else knew how to use it. But before her death, Li Wanniang informed An Bingsheng that her master had perished in the Underworld after she had escaped from her Shimen, which meant that aside from Li Wanniang herself, there was no other living person who knew how to activate the bracelet. Even An Bingsheng hadn’t heard about the bracelet’s function before Li Wanniang passed away.
In other words, the mysterious man who had sent people to infiltrate the An Family Villa only knew part of the bracelet’s purpose, but not how to use it.
Therefore, An Yiqing decided to have Yu Tianyou craft an identical replica. The Yu Family of Jinyin City had godlike smithing skills, almost capable of producing forgeries indistinguishable from the original.
The helicopter arranged by Gu Yelin was fast, taking just over an hour to reach Jinyin City. Following the location provided by Yu Tianyou, An Yiqing quickly found the Yu Family Mansion.
"Brother Yu, Sister-in-law Yu!" As soon as An Yiqing got out of the helicopter, she saw Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua waiting in the villa’s courtyard, and her heart warmed, "Brother, Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry for troubling you at such a late hour. It was an emergency with no other choice."
"Where’s that coming from, sister? We’re only too happy to help you out! Come on, both you and General Gu, hurry inside. The wind is cold at night." Liu Ruohua and Yu Tianyou warmly welcomed An Yiqing and Gu Yelin into the house, offering tea and water with utmost consideration.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, please sit down, I can manage!" An Yiqing quickly pressed them back into their seats when Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua moved to get up, then she took over pouring hot tea for everyone.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, where are Xiao Fang and Yuan Yuan?"
"They’ve gone to bed. The kids just don’t have enough energy. They were fussing about waiting for you to come, but they fell fast asleep not long after." Yu Tianyou’s eyes always sparkled when he talked about his two children, and his face showed deep affection.
Looking at the harmonious and happy family, An Yiqing inwardly nodded in approval. Thank goodness she had been able to cure ’Merciful Mother’s Tears’, or else a tragedy of a broken family would have been played out with such a kind couple.
"Right, sister, you came here for...?" Yu Tianyou changed the topic, bringing the conversation back to the matter at hand.
An Yiqing’s expression grew serious, and she looked around cautiously before asking, "Brother Yu, is it safe to speak here?"
Clever as a fox, Yu Tianyou immediately understood her meaning. He stood up with Liu Ruohua and nodded at An Yiqing and Gu Yelin, "Follow me."
