Chapter 474 - Keep You Safe

"Old Madam, we are here to keep you safe," The lady answered firmly.

"Who sent you here?"

Song Qiao didn't believe a single word that she said, and she wasn't going to believe whatever that they were going to tell her because there was no one out there that could have sent people to protect her. Shen Yu Rou and Shen Feng Xing could not have sent so many people here when Shen Nan Kun and the others had oppressed their power. Shen Feng Xing even had problems finding a job because of the influence Zhou Dong and Heinrich Corporation had over the country. Hence, she believed that the people she was facing now were bad, and they had ulterior motives for coming over.

"Your family sent us here," The lady answered without hesitation because she was indeed sent here by Song Qiao's family.

Hearing the lady's response, Song Qiao became even more worried about who she was facing. She then linked whatever the woman had said together and thought that they could be sent here by Shen Nan Kun because he was her son-in-law, so he was her family. Plus, she believed that when they said that they were protecting her, it was more like them keeping a close eye on her and maybe even killing her. Hence, without asking any other question, she turned around and ran despite her age.

"F*CK!"

The lady cursed when she saw Song Qiao running because Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen had instructed them to take good care of Song Qiao. However, their presence made Song Qiao ran away! On a mountain! The mountain was filled with rocks and mud, and more importantly, Song Qiao was old already, and yet they made her ran like that!

They instantly became worried about the consequences and the possibility of Song Qiao getting injured, and so they ran after her to prevent her from running any further.

Thankfully, as Song Qiao was old, she couldn't outrun the youngsters, and so they caught up with her almost instantly, and she wasn't injured in the least bit. However, they were careful with her because they were worried that she would run off again.

"What do you want from me?" Song Qiao asked as she breathed in and out rapidly.

Meanwhile, the others sighed because they didn't know how to explain to Song Qiao to make her trust them without running away again. Besides, they were still worried about how she was feeling. After all, she was quite old, and yet she ran earlier on.

"Why not we call Mr. Feng Xing, and asked him to explain to Old Madam? It doesn't seem like Old Madam would believe us even if we tell her the truth. Besides, we can't make her run again. If she trips and falls or even suffers a little bit, we would be in trouble... Plus, we would all feel guilty..." One of them whispered to the lady.

The lady sighed when she heard the man's words, "We can't, they are busy at the moment…"

"Maybe we can. Think about it. Old Master's life is in danger, so if Mr. Feng Xing and Ms. Yu Rou drive here because they received a call that told them their grandmother was also in danger, then wouldn't they be in danger of getting into an accident? Then, we can..."

The lady smacked the other person's head when she heard his words, "Do you know how to speak?"

The man laughed as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, "Sorry. You know what I mean. At least our enemies wouldn't suspect that they had disappeared without reason. Then, at the same time, we could make things happen as though to their wishes. Old Master, Mr. Feng Xing, Ms. Yu Rou, and Old Madam disappear just like lady boss, but we are actually keeping them safe while making our enemies believe that they had... Uhm... you know..."

"And, how are we supposed to fake the car accident and not put them in real danger? Do you know how many eyes are there in the city? Do you think we can fake the accident, in the middle of the day, without leaving any trace or even making them suspect?" The lady rolled her eyes as she spoked.

The man scratched the back of his head once again because of that, "Uh…"

The lady rolled her eyes at the man before she turned back to face Song Qiao, "Old Madam, people from the Jing family sent us here. If you don't believe us, you could contact them later on when we get to a safer place. This place isn't as safe as you can see. Besides, we are in the mountains, so there are many rocks around here, and the ground is slippery, so it would be dangerous for you to walk about here as well. You don't have to be afraid of us. If we really wanted to do anything to you, we would have done it a long time ago because we have been following you for weeks."

The lady then bowed again to Song Qiao in hopes of making Song Qiao believe her.

"The Jing family?" Song Qiao's eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

The man then spoke, "Yes. However, Old Madam, we really have to leave because it is dangerous for you to be alone out here, and we could be exposed easily."

The man then clapped his hand suddenly as he remembered something important, "Oh right, you might find this familiar, Mr. Feng Xing gave this to me in case situations like this occurred, and you didn't believe us. I forgot about this just now."

The man took out a hand-woven amulet that had the name 'Feng Xing' on it and showed it to Song Qiao.

"This… this is the amulet that I made for Feng Xing when he first came to our house…"

Song Qiao took the amulet in her hand as she inspected it with care.
