After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 9: Leave a backup plan

After receiving the antidote from Lü Xinyan, Yuan Daniu's feelings became particularly complicated.

Now that things have come to this, whatever he says or does will only please neither side.

However, Lü Xinyan's strength far exceeded his expectations, and he didn't know whether the Yuan family's actions this time were right or wrong.

Moreover, judging from Miss Yuan Yutong's attitude, once Yuan Yutong discovers that Lü Xinyan did not die in this drowning incident, she will probably not let it go.

In that case, would it be a blessing or a curse?

Yuan Daniu could only sigh inwardly, knowing that the Yuan family would likely regret driving Lü Xinyan away this time.

Yuan Daniu respectfully bowed to Lü Xinyan before saying, "Miss Lü, may I ask what you need us to do, given your control over us brothers?"

Now that things have escalated to this point, Yuan Daniu isn't stupid; he still hopes to know some answers to avoid living in constant anxiety.

Regardless, Yuan Daniu wanted to hear Lü Xinyan's opinion so he could know how to conduct himself in the future.

Now that things have escalated to this point, and the bodyguard is dead, he can only take it one step at a time.

When the time comes, if he encounters anything related to Lü Xinyan and Yuan Yutong, he should know how to make a decision.

Moreover, Yuan Daniu also thought of a very serious problem.

With the death of that bodyguard and the loss of his remains, the Yuan family may not be able to explain the damage caused by Miss Yuan Yutong's unauthorized mobilization of this bodyguard to the main family.

At that point, he'll probably still get dragged into it.

The thought of this possibility made Yuan Daniu feel that his future was bleak.

Seeing Yuan Daniu's expression, Lü Xinyan smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to be nervous. I don't blame you, but I don't trust you either. These are precautions I need to take."

“After all, you are a member of the Yuan family. The indentures of your entire family are with the Yuan family. You cannot escape the control of the Yuan family for the time being, so I have to be more careful.”

"I don't need you to do anything else for now. You can figure out how to explain things when you get back."

"As for the antidote, I will deliver it to you on time. Just remember to take it on time and don't die from the pain."

After a pause, Lü Xinyan looked at the window in front of her and continued, "I will leave by water, just as you initially planned."

"After I leave, you can go and wake Yuan Erniu up."

"As for that bodyguard, he's already dead, his body is gone, and you yourself didn't know anything about it. How you explain yourself is your problem."

"Yuan Yutong is quite bold to have the family's secret guards do such a thing. Isn't she afraid of affecting the main Yuan family's plans?"

After saying this, Lü Xinyan leaned against the tree trunk, looked at Yuan Daniu whose face was full of doubt and seriousness, chuckled, and continued to say to him: "Do you think that I really know nothing about what has happened in the Yuan family all these years? Do you think I haven't left any backup plans?"

"Think carefully about what to do after you get back."

"Also, don't tell Yuan Erniu about my affairs, and don't let anyone else know."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing those who leaked the information, including you!"

After saying these words, Lü Xinyan turned around, walked down the slope, trampled down a lot of the weeds along the way, quickly dealt with the traces, disguised the scene, stepped onto a bamboo stalk by the river, and rode away on a bamboo raft.

Lü Xinyan handled all these matters swiftly and efficiently, and the scene was disguised very well, even better than Yuan Daniu had expected!

All of this shocked Yuan Daniu even more, and made him even more wary of Lü Xinyan.

The fact that Lü Xinyan was able to handle the situation to such an effect clearly shows that she had prepared well in advance.

If he hadn't made it clear from the beginning that he wanted to let Lü Xinyan go, perhaps both he and his brother would have ended up like that guard!

The thought that the guard had been poisoned without his knowledge and then dissolved by Lü Xinyan's corpse-dissolving powder, leaving nothing behind, not even his clothes and shoes, made Yuan Daniu shudder.

That outcome was truly tragic!

However, Yuan Daniu understood the meaning behind Lü Xinyan's words, gripped the small medicine jar tightly in his hand, and quickly turned and left.

Lü Xinyan has already cleaned up the scene and even left by rafting on a single bamboo pole. She's really amazing!

He also needs to handle the remaining cleanup work.

However, thinking of Lü Xinyan's dislike and wariness towards his second brother Yuan Erniu, Yuan Daniu couldn't help but frown, still unable to understand.

But Lü Xinyan's threat still echoed in his ears, making Yuan Daniu unable to forget it.

Lu Xinyan had a hidden hand in the Yuan family, who could keep an eye on his every move.

If he goes against Lü Xinyan's instructions, then he and his family will likely find it difficult to protect themselves.

Even though he didn't like being threatened like this, that person was Lü Xinyan, whose strength and methods were far too powerful; he really couldn't afford to provoke her.

He will definitely have to think carefully about how to handle the situation to avoid bringing trouble upon himself.

Neither side could fully meet their demands, so Yuan Daniu had no choice but to figure it out himself.

However, Yuan Erniu is still unconscious outside, and Yuan Daniu needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

He recalled Lü Xinyan's instructions not to tell Yuan Erniu about the matter. Yuan Daniu didn't understand, but he still kept it in mind. He didn't care about anything else, but he just hoped that his family would not continue to offend Lü Xinyan and suffer trouble.

At this moment, Yuan Daniu felt a sense of awe towards Lü Xinyan and had no choice but to do as Lü Xinyan instructed.

Despite his reluctance, the disparity in strength was too great, so Yuan Daniu had no choice but to follow orders.

At the very least, he'll have a chance to escape once he understands Lü Xinyan's backup plan left in the Yuan family.

Thinking about all this, Yuan Daniu shook his head helplessly.

After glancing once more at Lü Xinyan's handling of the situation and confirming that there were no problems, Yuan Daniu returned to the dilapidated temple and then went out again, heading towards his second brother, Yuan Erniu.

When Yuan Daniu saw his second brother, Yuan Erniu, leaning against a rock unconscious but breathing steadily, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yuan Erniu was unharmed, and Lü Xinyan kept her word.
