Chapter 327: Chapter 327
The two men heard their boss ordering them to untie Yu Xia, but they still hesitated. The two exchanged glances without moving, and one of them looked at the man and said, "Boss, this woman is skilled. What if she hurts you later?"
They certainly hadn’t forgotten that when they had just come in, this woman had attacked their boss, causing his wounds to become even more severe; otherwise, they hadn’t planned to tie her up at first. It was because they feared she might injure their boss again that they, reluctantly, had many men bully one woman and had her tied up directly.
The man had a somewhat pale face, maintaining a shallow smile even when saying so much, which had already spent a good deal of his energy, but he still kept his gaze lightly on Yu Xia’s face. Then, with a slight smile, he said, "Don’t worry, Miss Yu is not so reckless. Although the Yu Family has power, influence, and status in Capital City, they don’t have absolute control. I believe Miss Yu will consider the safety of the Yu Family and won’t do anything drastic to me."
Yu Xia, "..." Her first reaction was, WTF, is this man actually threatening her?
But listening closely to the man’s words, she felt something was off—it only dawned on her later that she had never revealed her identity, yet this man knew she was the eldest daughter of the Capital City’s Yu Family without anyone introducing her. Most importantly, from the moment Song Qiao entered, this man had directly confirmed Song Qiao to be Lu Jingchen’s wife... These clear perceptions told her that either this man had an intimate knowledge of them, completely disregarding the Yu Family and Lu Jingchen, or else he wouldn’t have barged in like a kidnapper.

Ning Wan couldn’t believe that Lu Jingchen wouldn’t have bodyguards secretly protecting him in this vicinity.
Years ago, when Lu Jingchen lived alone in a villa outside, enemies attempted to kill him in the middle of the night. Fortunately, he had to step out for a temporary engagement before those people arrived, and the villa’s surveillance captured several men from the streets entering his villa. Had he been home that day, he probably couldn’t have fought off those men.
Since then, it was not Lu Jingchen who asked for a bodyguard, but Grandfather Lu himself who insisted on arranging specially trained bodyguards from the Lu Family to protect Lu Jingchen’s safety in secret.
At this moment, Yu Xia raised her alertness even more, convinced that this man was definitely not simple. Although she had never met him before, this man gave her the impression that his status was comparable to Lu Jingchen’s.
Hearing the man’s words, the two men finally stepped forward and untied the ropes for Yu Xia.
With the ropes untied, Yu Xia moved her arms and legs around; maintaining that position had been almost killing her, and now being able to move freely made her feel much better.
The young man’s gaze directly fell on Yu Xia’s face. The weather outside was very dark, as if the entire gloomy sky was pressing down, enveloping the whole city. It was already pouring rain with thunder and the sound of rain echoing in the study, occasionally lighting up the study with a flash of lightning, creating a fleeting illusion.
"Turn on the room lights." The man’s voice, seemingly drained from injury and exhaustion, carried a trace of weakness as if he could collapse at any moment.
No sooner had he spoken than the person originally standing at the door immediately turned on the lights in the study. Suddenly, the chandelier above and the wall lights all lit up, momentarily brightening the room and startling those who hadn’t seen the light before.
Yu Xia squinted slightly, almost reflexively raising her hand to shield her eyes, and only lowered it once she had adjusted to the brightness.
However, her first reaction was to look towards the man on the sofa, and the moment she saw his face clearly, her eyes immediately widened, filled with disbelief and astonishment.
Song Qiao, accompanied by Jack, exited the study, and immediately noticed the gun-wielding men in black standing some distance down the hallway, all of whom had blonde hair and blue eyes. She frowned slightly, feeling as though her home had been overtaken by these people.
