The car landed softly on the ground.
At the Chi residence, the crowd bustled about. A sleek black luxury sedan slowly came to a stop outside the grand entrance. Its smooth lines glistened like ink, exuding an understated yet opulent aura, akin to a silent noble quietly announcing the arrival of an important figure.
The servants within the estate had been busy with their tasks, but at this moment, they all paused in unison, their gazes drawn to the mysterious black car.
"Whose car is that?" a young maid whispered, her voice tinged with surprise.
"I don't know; I've never seen it before. The license plate isn't from around here," an older male servant replied, shaking his head with a slight frown.
At such a critical moment, who from outside would dare visit the Chi family?
It wasn't until they saw Chi Mu Jiu step out of the car that everyone snapped back to reality and exclaimed in astonishment, "The young lady?!"
"It's the young lady who's come back!"
"Quick! Go inform the head of the family! What are you standing around for?"
"Weren't we told she went abroad?"
"Weren't we told she ran off with some wild man?"
"Weren't there rumors that she took shares from the Chi family to support him?"
As soon as Chi Mu Jiu appeared, all those rumors and gossip fell apart like fragile glass. In an instant, the entire household became a flurry of activity due to her presence. Some maids hurried off to tidy up the living room, while some male servants rushed to notify other family members. The entire Chi estate seemed to be infused with a newfound energy, bustling with excitement.
"Madam, do you need us to accompany you inside?"
This time, Du Hengyan expressed concern about potential incidents like the one with Pei Si before, and specifically dispatched dozens of trusted aides to protect her.
Chi Mu Jiu felt unable to refuse and had to comply with him. With someone by her side for protection, Du Hengyan could carry out his mission with greater peace of mind.
She glanced back at the several cars following her, feeling a bit amused. If this large entourage accompanied her inside, it would surely give the impression that she was leading a group to rob the place.
"Just two of you come in with me."
Chi Mu Jiu's tone was calm and steady. She wrapped her coat tighter around herself; the temperature at home was still quite different from that of this country.
"Then I will accompany you along with Jin Su."
Ning Chen nodded slightly. This time, the boss had specifically instructed him to ensure the Madam's safety at all times. Even when entering the Chi family estate, he had to protect her.
"Alright, just watch for my signal later."
Ning Chen and Jin Su understood her words; it meant they should conceal their weapons well since they were still in their home country and needed to observe some rules.
Chi Mu Jiu tidied her hair, which had been tousled by the wind. After landing, there had been no moment of rest during the nearly hour-long journey; even sitting on a private jet made her feel somewhat exhausted.
As the cool breeze blew again, Chi Mu Jiu felt her fatigue dissipate a little. She stepped directly into the Chi family courtyard, taking a deep breath as if trying to expel all her weariness and unease.
With each step she took, she could feel the familiar sensation of the ground beneath her feet.
As soon as Chi Mu Jiu entered the courtyard, all eyes turned toward her.
"How is it that after a trip abroad, the young lady's aura has changed so much?"
Previously, she exuded a gentle and refined demeanor, but now there was an added layer of indifference and recklessness, like a blooming rose with thorns—beautiful yet dangerous.
"Miss! You have arrived!"
