After Hu Zhimin hung up the phone, his face turned completely livid. Qin Rumeng's interference made it impossible for him to keep Ye Xunhuan, or rather, Qin Rumeng used some means that made the leaders at the Jiangzhong City Airport not give him any face at all!

They even bluntly said, "If you have any issues, go find Qin Rumeng, go find Miss Qin. As long as Qin Rumeng says the word, I have no problems on my side."

But how could he possibly go to Qin Rumeng? Going to Qin Rumeng would be entirely tantamount to telling her, "I want to deal with Ye Xunhuan!"

That would just send Qin Rumeng into a berserk state.

Taking a deep breath, Hu Zhimin slowly suppressed the anger inside: "Ye Xunhuan, do you think that just because you went to the Southeast, I can't do anything to you?"

As he spoke, a shadow of gloom flickered in Hu Zhimin's eyes, and a cold and murderous intent slowly emerged from him at this moment.

Then, Hu Zhimin picked up the phone again and dialed a number!

Though Ye Xunhuan had left, Hu Zhimin was not about to give up so easily. Since he decided to avenge his son, he wouldn't simply watch Ye Xunhuan leave without doing anything.

Because of Qin Rumeng's interference behind the scenes, the plane took off on schedule.

As the plane soared into the sky like an eagle, Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

When the people from the National Security Bureau came to find Ye Xunhuan, they made it very clear that they would ground the plane. Now that the plane had taken off completely towards Dongnan City, Qiu Ruoxi naturally let out a sigh of relief.

On the plane, Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Ye Xunhuan and asked with a hint of concern, "Are your injuries okay?"

Qiu Ruoxi knew about Ye Xunhuan getting injured when he fought with Qi Yizhou and others last time.

Although two days had passed, Qiu Ruoxi wasn't sure if Ye Xunhuan's injuries had healed.

Of course, in Qiu Ruoxi's heart, it couldn't have healed that quickly.

Just now Ye Xunhuan fought again, making Qiu Ruoxi completely unsure of the state of his injuries.

Feeling the concern in Qiu Ruoxi's tone, Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head and said, "It's nothing!"

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's response, Qiu Ruoxi didn't ask further.

Qiu Ruoxi remained silent, and Ye Xunhuan also said nothing, his face showing a contemplative expression.

The sudden visit from the National Security Bureau puzzled Ye Xunhuan; he couldn't understand what they wanted from him!

All along, whether it was the National Security Bureau or the Hidden Dragon, Ye Xunhuan and they have always been like two parallel lines, not interfering with each other. Now, the sudden approach of the National Security Bureau demanding his assistance in an investigation naturally left Ye Xunhuan bewildered.

Could it be the Protectors sent the National Security Bureau to detain him?

But that's unlikely!

The Hidden Dragon is a branch of the Protectors, so if anyone should act, it should be members of the Hidden Dragon, not the National Security Bureau.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan completely disregarded Hu Yuanbin, or rather, he never considered Hu Yuanbin from the start.

To Ye Xunhuan, people like Hu Yuanbin were just ants; crushing them would be too simple.

Time flew by unconsciously, and three hours had passed with the plane landing on schedule at Dongnan City Airport!

When the plane landed and stopped, prompted by the flight attendant's melodious and pleasant announcement, the passengers began preparing to disembark.

Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan were no exceptions.

After descending the ladder from the plane, Qiu Ruoxi finally felt completely at ease.

Liu Qingcheng had told her that once they reached Dongnan, Ye Xunhuan would be incredibly safe, and even if someone made a move, they wouldn't dare to go too far.

Since Qiu Ruoxi hadn't informed anyone from the Xiahou family of her return this time, no one came to pick them up.

After leaving the airport, Ye Xunhuan looked at Qiu Ruoxi and asked, "Where does the old man live?"

"Around Qingbi Mountain!"

Although Qiu Ruoxi told Ye Xunhuan, he had no idea where Qingbi Mountain was.

Ye Xunhuan didn't know, but Qiu Ruoxi did, as she grew up in the Xiahou family.

Then, Qiu Ruoxi took Ye Xunhuan and caught a taxi, heading directly towards Qingbi Mountain.

Once Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi got into the car, the taxi driver couldn't resist peeking at Qiu Ruoxi through the rearview mirror a couple of times, thinking to himself: This woman is really damn beautiful!

The taxi driver's little action didn't escape Ye Xunhuan's notice, but he didn't mind it.

After all, every man likes to take a few extra glances at beautiful women, let alone the taxi driver; even Ye Xunhuan had this habit.

However, there weren't many women who could catch Ye Xunhuan's eye.

Qingbi Mountain in Dongnan City is a complete tourist and holiday destination with very beautiful scenery.

The Xiahou family is located near Qingbi Mountain, nestled by mountains and rivers, with an excellent environment.

Typically, locations considered tourist or vacation areas are not close to the city center, including being quite a distance from the airport.

Moreover, it was already around one in the afternoon, with many vehicles on the road, causing quite a bit of congestion, making Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi sit in the taxi for another whole hour before arriving at the Xiahou family!

Arriving at the Xiahou family, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi immediately got out of the car, and what appeared before their eyes was a vast, traditional Huaxia-style old mansion, impressively standing in view.

This traditional Huaxia-style mansion was the Xiahou family, entirely built by the mountainside and rivers, with an extremely desirable location—so much so that even if it were placed abroad, this kind of location would be highly sought after.

Even Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but admire how beautiful and grand the Xiahou family mansion was; most importantly, it exuded a classic charm.

Looking at the mansion in front of them, one felt as if they had been transported back to ancient times.

"Let's go!" Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Ye Xunhuan and said lightly.

But at this moment, Qiu Ruoxi was somewhat excited.

After all, she hadn't returned for a long time and hadn't visited her grandparents in ages. Now, back again, thinking about seeing those two loving and kind elderly people, she couldn't control her excitement.

Although Qiu Ruoxi concealed her emotions quite well, Ye Xunhuan could still sense Qiu Ruoxi's inner excitement.

After all, there's a saying: "Riches not returned to one's homeland are like walking in the night with a splendid garment!"

Now, Qiu Ruoxi felt she was quite wealthy, but because of her busy work, she hadn't come back for so long.

Now, she not only returned but also brought her husband along, and her inner excitement was beyond words.
