"Okay!" Yan Jien nodded, "I'll head over now!"
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jien got up, dressed, and left his home. He took the elevator down to the basement parking lot, drove his car out of Jubao Huayuan Phase One, and headed towards Jubao Peak Scenic Area.
His mood was somewhat gloomy due to what Tong Qingqing had mentioned on the phone. "What exactly happened to Liya?" Yan Jien frowned. As he drove, he marked the route with a mixed liquid secreted from his claws.
Half an hour later, Yan Jien arrived at Jubao Peak Scenic Area. This scenic area is located in the northern suburbs of Nanquan City, separated from Jubao Huayuan by a road, essentially in the same vicinity. Yan Jien parked his car in a spot next to the entrance of Jubao Peak Scenic Area and waited quietly.
Since it was already early morning, the surroundings were silent. A few minutes later, Yan Jien's phone rang again. "Mr. Yan, I've arrived!" Tong Qingqing said. "I'm here too, parked right next to the entrance!" Yan Jien replied. "I see your car!" Tong Qingqing hung up the phone.
Before long, a woman dressed in a black dress with long hair cascading down approached from a distance. "Auntie?" Seeing her, Yan Jien got out of the car. "Mr. Yan, it's an honor to meet you!" Tong Qingqing slightly nodded.
"Auntie, you're too kind!" Yan Jien smiled, "But it's quite late now; how about we find a place for a late-night snack and chat while we eat?"
"No need!" Tong Qingqing shook her head, "It's very quiet here; let's talk right here!"
"Alright!" Yan Jien nodded, "Auntie, you mentioned that Liya is in trouble; what exactly is going on?"
"Liya is not in trouble!" Tong Qingqing replied calmly.
"Liya is fine?" Yan Jien was taken aback, "Then what did you mean on the phone..."
"What I mean is that if you continue to pursue Liya, she will get into trouble!" Tong Qingqing said coldly.
"..." Yan Jien was stunned. After a while, he finally reacted, "Auntie, you've misunderstood; I'm just friends with Liya!"
"Friends?" Tong Qingqing scoffed, "Mr. Yan, let's be clear; I know exactly what your relationship with Liya is!"
"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Yan Jien frowned.
"It means nothing!" Tong Qingqing's tone was icy, "I just want to tell you to stay away from Liya!"
"I..." Yan Jien wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Tong Qingqing.
"You don't need to say anything more. I will not agree to you being with Liya!" Tong Qingqing said, turning to leave.
"Auntie, wait!" Yan Jien quickly grabbed Tong Qingqing's hand.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Tong Qingqing struggled.
"I'm sorry, Auntie!" Yan Jien released his grip. "I just want to know why you oppose me being with Liya?"
"For no reason. I just disagree!" Tong Qingqing snorted coldly.
"Auntie, this is... a bit difficult for me!" Yan Jien said awkwardly.
"What are you finding difficult?" Tong Qingqing scoffed. "Is it not enough that you caused my family Clark's death? Now you want to harm Liya too?"
"I caused your family Clark's death?" Yan Jien was shocked.
"Isn't it you?" Tong Qingqing's gaze was sharp.
"I..." Yan Jien wanted to explain but didn't know how.
"Nothing to say now, right?" Tong Qingqing snorted. "Mr. Yan, I warn you, stay away from Liya!"
With that, she turned again and walked away.
"Auntie, wait!" Yan Jien grabbed Tong Qingqing once more.
"What do you want?" Tong Qingqing shouted angrily.
"Auntie, I want to explain clearly!" Yan Jien began.
"There’s nothing to explain!" Tong Qingqing scoffed.
"Auntie..." Yan Jien wanted to say more when suddenly his expression changed.
He saw Tong Qingqing suddenly turn around, grabbing his collar with both hands and throwing him out forcefully.
Bang!
Yan Jien's body crashed into a red pine tree, breaking it and falling to the ground.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood spurted out as Yan Jien looked horrified.
"Auntie, you..." Yan Jien struggled to stand up, shock filling his eyes.
He had no time to react to Tong Qingqing's attack; her speed and strength were beyond his imagination.
"Yan Jien, I warn you, stay away from Liya!" Tong Qingqing snorted coldly.
At that moment, Tong Qingqing seemed to have grown a few centimeters taller; her originally delicate features became somewhat sharp, and patches of white fur sprouted on her skin, making her look otherworldly and mysterious.
"You..." Seeing Tong Qingqing's appearance, Yan Jien's pupils constricted. "You are actually..."
"Now you understand why I oppose you being with Liya?" Tong Qingqing spoke coldly.
"So that's how it is!" Yan Jien realized.
"Yan Jien, I know you can transform, and your strength is not bad!" Tong Qingqing said coldly. "However, I can kill you with ease!"
"I know!" Yan Jien nodded.
From the speed and power Tong Qingqing had just displayed, it was clear that her strength far exceeded his.
"That's good to know!" Tong Qingqing snorted coldly. "Don't let me see you getting close to Liya in the future, or else... hmph!"
With a cold huff, Tong Qingqing turned and walked away.
Watching her back, Yan Jien's expression was complicated.
After a while, he regained his composure and drove home.
...
Tong Qingqing exited the Jubao Peak Scenic Area and walked to the roadside.
She looked around and then crossed the street, entering Jubao Huayuan.
She arrived at Building 18, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for 1802.
Ding!
When the elevator arrived, she stepped out and approached the door of 1802. She took out her key and unlocked the door.
"Mom, why did you come back so late?" Tong Liya greeted her.
"I went to see Yan Jien!" Tong Qingqing replied.
"You went to see Yan Jien?" Tong Liya was surprised.
"Yes!" Tong Qingqing nodded.
"Mom, why did you meet him?" Tong Liya asked in confusion.
"Liya, you are not suited for Yan Jien. Don't associate with him in the future!" Tong Qingqing said seriously.
"Mom, why not?" Tong Liya was puzzled.
"No reason; it just won't do!" Tong Qingqing huffed coldly.
"Mom..." Tong Liya wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Tong Qingqing.
"Alright, it's late. Let's go to bed!" Tong Qingqing said.
"Oh!" Tong Liya nodded helplessly.
