Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 220 - 219: Duty Bound to Help (Second Update)

Yun Ran is not an old fox in the business world, she always considers the benefits and losses before doing anything.

She won’t deliberately suppress the other, waiting for them to speak first and then negotiate under the premise that they are at a disadvantage.

Tan Chengbi is one of the few people she considers as a potential friend.

Being friends, she might have to think twice about going through fire and sword for them, but helping out is her duty.

"We are friends, there’s no need to speak in terms of requesting. I suppose you are referring to the situation at Helian Manor."

Listening to Yun Ran’s easy agreement, a warm current surged through Tan Chengbi’s heart.

These days, senior members of the Tan Family came over to handle this matter, and he faintly felt that Helian Family and Tan Family were hiding some secrets.

Unfortunately, they were unwilling to disclose them to him, even rejecting the involvement of the Special Administration Bureau in the affairs of Helian Manor.

Apart from some necessary negotiations, Helian Family and Tan Family had handed over many matters to the Dark Master they worship.

"I heard from the people at the Special Administration Bureau that all my aunts are trapped. I want to rescue them as soon as possible, but it seems that the elders of Helian Family and my family have other ideas..."

Yun Ran understood immediately; this is Yinghua Country, and both Helian Family and Tan Family have considerable influence; even the Special Administration Bureau can’t control them, not even Xie Xuzhi.

If this were in our country, no matter what family it is, if a case is targeted by the Special Administration Bureau, all families must cooperate unconditionally.

"So, are the Special Administration Bureau and your people at a stalemate now?"

Tan Chengbi nodded: "Yes, no matter what, my aunt has always been good to me. I don’t care what they want to do, but we can’t risk my aunt’s life for it."

That’s probably the sorrow of major families. Even if they are blood-related relatives, once interests are involved, they might be discarded at any time.

Major families have too many dark secrets, and Yun Ran doesn’t want to get involved, nor is she particularly interested in these matters.

However, she cannot cause trouble for Xie Xuzhi, so she won’t directly tell Tan Chengbi how to act in case someone catches her in the act.

"Last time I entered Helian Manor, I unintentionally saw an antique mirror hanging on the roof. That’s an excellent artifact, it wards off evil spirits and protects the home. It must not be tainted with any dirty substances.

For example, any filthy objects or the blood of those thoroughly wicked people, that could completely destroy the power of the antique mirror..."

The assistant watched as Yun Ran seriously warned his young master to never do such things, his eyes shining astonishingly.

Good grief, she was actually able to seriously discuss the steps of destruction, and yet, no one could catch her red-handed.

After all, who would think that these words were to be taken contrarily?

"Thank you, I understand and will be careful about it. I need to go back now."

When Tan Chengbi stood up, something suddenly occurred to him.

He added: "My people found out that twins born into the Tan Family never survive simultaneously. I don’t know the secret behind it."

Yun Ran nodded, accepting Tan Chengbi’s goodwill.

Obviously, Tan Chengbi also sensed something amiss, and he had a strong premonition that Yun Ran, who might successfully rescue the people, could encounter significant trouble.

That Mr. Gu, his identity seems not so simple, those seemingly proud old men, and the Dark Master worshiped by their family are all very courteous to him.

Only Yun Ran, merely the third young lady of Hai City Yun Family with no blood relation, even if she is protected by Young Master Xie.

But Tan Chengbi himself comes from a major family, he is very clear, sometimes, even the Family Head cannot do whatever he wishes.

He feared that due to Yun Ran’s low status, she might be abandoned by others.

Therefore, he needed to warn Yun Ran in advance to be careful, even though these matters are secrets of the Tan Family.

Watching Tan Chengbi walking away, Ginsengfruit remarked: [This guy, at least has some conscience.]

At this moment, inside the manor of the Tan Family, Mr. Tan looked at the several Dark Masters sitting below him.

His expression somewhat troubled: "Are you telling me that after so many days, you have discovered nothing?"

"Mr. Tan, the Array has been thoroughly destroyed. We’ve tried various methods but can’t deduce exactly what happened.

There are only two possibilities; the first is that this altar has been exploited for personal gain from the beginning.

The second possibility is that the person who destroyed this altar used powers far beyond ours, so we can’t find any trace."

Another person quickly added: "That’s right. From our ability, we think the first possibility is more likely. We have met those people from the Special Administration Bureau.

Even if those old fellows’ abilities are stronger than ours, they are not vastly superior to us."

Yet Mr. Tan didn’t fully trust their words— The Tan Family has its own secrets, having sacrificed many twins.

Just when he was about to revive the altar, now he is told the altar has been fake from the beginning, how could he believe that, he only felt that these people were incompetent.

"Alright, you may leave now!"

The váчmasters looked at each other and then exited.

"What does Mr. Tan mean by this, doesn’t he trust us?"

The person in front walked ahead, stroking his beard, sighed, and said: "Perhaps, the Tan Family has secrets unknown to us."

These people were already at the top level in the Xuan Sect, being worship by a top-tier financial powerhouse like the Tan Family, they are already at the ceiling level.

But they are not people cultivated by the Tan Family themselves; if they cannot solve problems for the Tan Family, it would be hard for them to continue accessing resources worry-free.

"Should we go and find those people from the Special Administration Bureau? I vaguely sensed that they also have doubts..."

"No, if we cooperate with them and get betrayed, then it will be a lost cause for us."

"This can’t be done, nor can that, what should we do then!"

"Wait!"

Tan Chengbi took people along with the filthy substances that Yun Ran said must not be used, split into three groups to break the Array of Helian Manor.

"I’ll draw people away, you guys move fast!"

Listening to their young master’s words, the assistant felt his heart drumming; he knew very well he was literally risking his life following his young master.

If Mr. Tan’s men caught them, they would be skinned.

They only hoped for a successful mission to rescue the Old Madam, so when they faced reckoning, they could endure a little less punishment.
