Chapter 544 - 549: You Said You Broke My Leg.
LS cannot be used for oneself, so... just destroy it.
After Ding Jia was taken away by the Lou Family, she was locked in a room on the left side of the first floor.
There were guards outside; Fu Jingxuan disguised himself in one of Lou Zhaonian’s soldiers’ uniforms and successfully infiltrated.
"Plan A failed, activate Plan B," Fu Jingxuan approached Ding Jia, lowered his voice, and said only this sentence, then casually threw a key onto Ding Jia.
This was the message his master asked him to deliver. After speaking, Fu Jingxuan left.
Staying a moment longer might get him discovered by the Lou Family.
But Ding Jia, curled up in the corner with her hair a bit disheveled, suddenly had her eyes light up upon hearing Fu Jingxuan’s words.
After waiting for so long, she finally heard this sentence.
Plan B was finally about to be activated.
"Ran Xiangsi, do you think you’re the victor? No... I won’t let you have it easy."
With a cold smile, Ding Jia spread her hands to pick up the key that had fallen into the seam of her clothes, effortlessly unlocking the handcuffs.
The people guarding her outside were all from the Lou Family, and before coming, she had already familiarized herself with them.

Xing Chen had just reached the top deck when Ping’an came to report.
"Young Master, since the wedding has concluded successfully, when will the yacht return to the dock? Some guests are inquiring."
There was no point in keeping so many people on the yacht once the wedding was over; Xing Chen had no intention of letting them stay overnight.
"Is there any movement from the submarine underwater?" Xing Chen asked, playing with the cuff button on his right sleeve with his left hand.
"None. Ping Le is on one of the submarines; he just spoke to me, saying the screen flickered a bit, possibly due to the water flow or a large school of fish passing by."
Ping’an and Ping Le, the brotherly duo, were always so perfectly coordinated.
One above the water, one below, always executing the most flawless actions for Xing Chen.
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen’s steps halted briefly at the mention of the screen flickering. But after hearing it was related to fish, he relaxed again.
Glancing at his watch, Xing Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Give the order, return at seven."
"Yes, Young Master." Ping’an nodded and opened the suite door for Xing Chen.
Xing Chen walked in, glanced at the living room, and didn’t see Ran Xiangsi.
Just as he frowned, a clear and melodious laugh came from the terrace.
Instinctively following the sound, he saw the woman he longed for sitting on a rattan chair, smiling like a flower while drinking tea.
What was making her so happy?
Just thinking about this, a smile appeared on Xing Chen’s lips as well.
He had just walked over when he saw Gu Beichuan sitting behind the gourd vines; his smile immediately faded.
So, she was chatting with Gu Beichuan?
Chatting so happily?
The line of his jaw tightened slightly, Xing Chen frowned a bit but didn’t speak, as Ran Xiangsi pulled him to sit down.
"You’re here. Are things taken care of? We were just talking about you, and here you are," Ran Xiangsi smiled as she spoke, and served Xing Chen tea from a zisha cup after rinsing it.
"Talking about me?" Xing Chen still frowned, his eyes showing hidden hostility as he glanced at Gu Beichuan.
Gu Beichuan seemed to sense the killing intent in Xing Chen’s eyes and immediately became more reserved, no longer laughing as freely as before.
Instead, he pointed to his knee, "Talking about how you broke my leg."
His voice was calm, not resentful, but he couldn’t help but bring it up. Whether it was to remind Xing Chen of his sins or to remind himself of this reborn scar, the ordeal of a phoenix’s nirvana remained unclear.
