"Wait a minute, Grandpa. Sending someone out to find Lin Feng is indeed one way to go about it, but Lin Feng isn't very familiar with our Liu Family. I think the only ones he can trust are you and me," Liu Yanran said, realizing this at the same time.
"Yes, that's true. So what should we do?" Liu Lao then remembered that he had overlooked some issues.
"Grandpa, you need to stay here to oversee things. I think it's best if I go find Lin Feng. With me meeting him, I believe he will trust me," Liu Yanran thought for a moment and concluded that she was the most suitable person for the task.
"That's a valid point, but you know, while I might be able to rely on my own strength to break through, it would be much harder for you. There are several experts outside," Liu Lao acknowledged his granddaughter's reasoning but still considered other concerns. Of course, Liu Lao's hesitation stemmed from not wanting his precious granddaughter to take risks.
"I might not be able to force my way out, but Grandpa, do you remember that time when I threw a tantrum and ran away from home? You couldn't find me at all. Do you know where I went that time?" Liu Yanran said with a sudden smile at the corner of her mouth.
"You must have found a place to hide. Why are you bringing this up now?" Liu Lao was puzzled as to why his beloved granddaughter would mention this at such a moment.
"Hehe... That time I left Liu Family Village by myself and wandered around a nearby mountain village before coming back. That's why you all thought I was just hiding in Back Mountain," Liu Yanran smirked.
"Oh, I remember that there were guards at Liu Family Village. How did they not know you left?" Liu Lao was even more confused.
"Hehe... Grandpa, you don't know this, but besides leaving through the main gate or side gate, there's another way out. I left through Back Mountain without anyone noticing," Liu Yanran explained without holding back. Given the current situation was unfavorable for the Liu Family, she couldn't afford to be vague.
"Oh, so that's how it is! There's actually another exit from Back Mountain," Liu Lao exclaimed in surprise. Although he was the head of the family, he had just learned about this secret exit from Back Mountain.
"Hehe... It's normal for you not to know. The other exit from Back Mountain is in a water cave. I went down there out of curiosity when I was little. However, I think that cave entrance is like a 'Cave of Hope' for our Liu Family right now. This way, I can sneak out to find Lin Feng," Liu Yanran said.
"Alright, since that's the case, we shouldn't delay any longer. Butler, you stay here and keep watch. Yan'er and I will go check out that cave entrance," Liu Lao immediately commanded. There was no time to waste; they needed to send news out as soon as possible so that the Liu Family could receive help sooner.
"Yes, Master. You can go with peace of mind." The butler, although injured, still had combat capability. Besides, his role here was more about commanding the defenses of the Liu Family rather than direct combat.
"Okay, Grandpa, let's go." Liu Yanran understood the urgency of the situation and took the lead in walking out.
At that moment, Liu Yanran led the way, followed by Liu Lao, with Liu Yanran's father trailing behind.
"Hey, Grandpa, this is the entrance," Liu Yanran said as she brought her Grandpa and father to the cave entrance, pointing it out.
"Are you sure?" Seeing that the entrance was indeed hidden, Liu Lao was convinced to a certain extent but still asked.
"Of course! I've been in here a few times," Liu Yanran replied. After saying that, she felt a bit regretful; wasn't she just telling Grandpa that she had secretly gone in to explore without his knowledge?
"Sigh... You girl, you've gone diving alone before; aren't you afraid of accidents?" As expected, when Liu Lao heard that Liu Yanran had dared to sneak off here to dive when she was younger, he began to scold her.
"Sigh... Grandpa, this isn't the time for that. Besides, I'm fine now, right? Also, if I hadn't explored secretly, we probably wouldn't be able to contact Lin Feng right now," Liu Yanran reassured him, knowing that Grandpa was worried about her.
"Alright then, since you're sure it's here, you should prepare to go down with your father. Although he's a martial arts enthusiast, he's quite capable; having him with you will provide some security," Liu Lao said, realizing it wasn't the time for arguments. He felt proud of his brave granddaughter and started giving instructions.
"Grandpa... I can go find Lin Feng by myself. If there are two of us, we'll be too conspicuous and easily spotted. Besides, they could break through the mountain defense formation at any moment; my dad is strong and should stay here to help you," Liu Yanran explained, knowing how much they needed her father's strength at this moment.
"No way! It's too dangerous for you to go alone; I'm here with you," Liu Lao firmly disagreed with Liu Yanran's plan. While he acknowledged the need for Liu Yanran's father here, her safety was even more important.
"Don't say anything more, Grandpa. Hold onto my mobile phone; if it gets wet, it's useless. I have cash on me and I know Lin Feng's mobile number by heart. Once I get out, I'll find a phone to call him. Dad, you stay here and help Grandpa; I'm going now," Liu Yanran insisted as every second counted.
"Okay, I will," her father replied rationally at that moment, nodding in agreement.
"Plop..." Liu Yanran dove into the water hole with a strong leap since she was a good swimmer.
"Sigh... You little rascal! Even if you're not going with her, at least prepare a set of diving gear for Yan'er! Letting her go in like this is reckless!" Before Liu Lao could stop her, Liu Yanran had already jumped in. He knew his granddaughter was doing this for the Liu family but couldn't help but complain to his son—Liu Yanran's father.
"Dad, Yan'er has been able to dive on her own since she was little; she's grown up now. Besides, even though she hasn't cultivated Internal Energy yet, she's still a martial artist with internal skills. Her swimming ability will only be better now; you don't need to worry," Liu Yanran's father analyzed.
"You have a point. Hong Family, what you did to us, the Liu Family, today—just let me catch my breath, and I will make you pay for it," Liu Lao said angrily, knowing his son was right but furious at the thought of sending his precious daughter into danger to seek help.
"Yes, Dad, the Liu Family will not fall so easily," Liu Yanran's father replied firmly.
Liu Yanran was unaware of the conversation between her grandfather and father behind her. She smoothly submerged into the water and surfaced at another location, executing the entire process with great familiarity.
"Pu..." As she emerged from the water, she quickly climbed onto the shore.
Ignoring the water on her body, she wiped her face and hurriedly began to act. What she needed now was to find a safe place to call Lin Feng. She had memorized Lin Feng's phone number just moments ago; besides, even if she forgot, she had a backup in a small bag she carried with her.
In a rush, Liu Yanran, still in wet clothes, arrived at a convenience store in a small village next to Liu Family Village.
"Boss, give me a bath towel, and let me make a phone call," Liu Yanran said, looking at the public phone outside the convenience store with hope.
"Um, miss, why are you completely soaked?" The store owner, a middle-aged woman, quickly handed Liu Yanran a new bath towel and asked with concern.
"Oh, thank you. I'll pay you. I fell into the water, and my Mobile Phone got ruined. I need to call my friend to come pick me up," Liu Yanran recited her prepared excuse. It wasn't that she intended to hide anything; in this critical moment, she couldn't afford to relax at all.
"Here, drink this cup of hot water; it might help," the owner said kindly, noticing her situation and promptly handing Liu Yanran a cup of hot water with a smile.
"Thank you so much," Liu Yanran was touched by the owner's kindness but quickly picked up the phone to dial Lin Feng's Mobile Phone. She didn't have time to drink water; Back Mountain Grandpa and the others were still waiting for her rescue.
"Take your time," seeing that Liu Yanran was in a hurry, the owner decided not to disturb her and returned inside to watch her television.
"Hello..." When Lin Feng answered the phone, he was still discussing jade knowledge with Chen Sheng. It was late at night, and Lin Feng wasn't one to wander around for fun; he preferred learning about jade here with Chen Sheng instead.
Ever since he realized that enhancing his abilities relied on the Jade Energy within jade stones, Lin Feng's enthusiasm for studying jade had skyrocketed; he wished he could learn even more.
"Lin Feng, I am Liu Yanran. Our Liu Family was suddenly attacked by the Hong Family. I escaped to seek your help. Please hurry, I'm in a village next to Liu Family Village, and this place is..." At that moment, Liu Yanran realized she didn't even know the address.
"Auntie, what is the address here? I need to tell my friend to come pick me up," Liu Yanran called out loudly in the store.
It was only because that auntie was not present that she dared to speak directly to Lin Feng.
The auntie quickly provided an address.
After hearing it, Liu Yanran repeated it to Lin Feng over the phone.
"Oh, I'll come right away." Lin Feng understood the urgency of the situation and didn't ask further questions. He hung up and headed straight for the address Liu Yanran mentioned.
"Uncle Chen, there’s been a situation at the Liu Family. I need to rush over and check it out. You should rest first; I'll explain everything when I get back," Lin Feng casually explained to Chen Sheng.
Lin Feng had no intention of hiding what was happening with the Liu Family from Chen Sheng. Since the incident had already occurred, he believed it wouldn't be long before the entire Jade Industry would know about it. If Chen Sheng found out through other channels later, he might have his own thoughts on the matter.
However, Lin Feng himself was unclear about the details of what had happened, and given the urgency of the situation, he could only tell Chen Sheng this for now.
"Okay, I understand. Hurry up and go. Take my car," Chen Sheng said, handing Lin Feng the car keys from the table.
"Thanks a lot. I'm leaving now," Lin Feng replied as he took the keys and left.
