Standing Next To You-Chapter 384: I don’t plan on losing

Grandma Pei insisted on taking care of Fei Chuan. She gently pushed Bei Sangyun out of the room, telling her to get some sleep. Bei Sangyun protested, wanting Grandma Pei to rest instead.

"I have no use besides taking care of you two whenever you are sick and hungry. I can at least watch him tonight. Please leave this to me. You need to rest. Today must have been tough for you."

Under Grandma Pei’s insistence, Bei Sangyun had no choice but to leave the rest to her.

Bei Sangyun stood in the hallway for a long time before going downstairs. When she arrived in the room where Third Chief and the spies were, the gentle look in her eyes disappeared.

Third Chief and the others stood up. They had been waiting for her.

"What’s the situation in the Fei mansion?" Bei Sangyun’s demeanor changed. She sat on the sofa, her aura overbearing and cold.

"The members of the family gathered in Head Master Fei’s office. But since he did not allow any butlers or servants inside, it remains unknown what they discussed. After they were dismissed, there was a fight between Su Yurou and the other branches. The spy heard them mentioning Fei Min’s punishment. It looks like his punishment has been decided."

There were still spies hidden among the workers in the Fei mansion. However, Bei Sangyun had no intention of withdrawing them. She still needed information. But with her revealing that she even had Third Chief as a spy, the Fei family wouldn’t be as trusting and wouldn’t easily leak information to their servants.

Bei Sangyun tapped on the armrest. "Fei Chuan’s threats must have been revealed by now. However, given their narrow-mindedness, they won’t easily accept that he acted alone. They will link him to the Lin family." She paused, still tapping the armrest.

Whatever the Fei family was thinking right now, she had already considered it.

"It seems I have to return to the Lin mansion. Butler Xin and I will be busy for a while."

"But Master, there’s a big possibility the Fei family might ask for you from the Lin family. Returning to the Lin mansion might be risky."

"If I’m not there, it will create more disadvantages for me. Not only will I put Fei Chuan in danger, but my people as well."

In the past, she wouldn’t have thought twice about leaving and lying low for a while. She wouldn’t have cared if the Fei family stormed the Lin house and demanded an explanation.

Even if the two families fought and spilled blood, she wouldn’t have blinked an eye.

However, Maid Ye Zhai and the others were there. She couldn’t just leave them. Besides, she was no longer alone, the person who was only trying to survive by herself was long gone.

There were now more people on her side—like the fourth branch in her hand. She might even use this opportunity to take advantage of the Lin family to keep the Fei family busy and away from Fei Chuan.

Since the boss had already made a decision, Third Chief had no choice but to acquiesce.

"Keep watch on the Fei family’s every move and take care of the people in this house. Their safety is your priority," Bei Sangyun instructed Third Chief.

"I understand, Master."

"As for you guys," Bei Sangyun turned to the four spies, "I have new tasks for you."

Bei Sangyun assigned them their tasks. The Fei family would surely use everything in their power to get back at Fei Chuan. She had to move faster than them.

The rumors of what happened tonight must have spread by now, and tonight’s events would surely cause a huge storm. She had to be prepared.

.....

The sun peeked through the window.

Fei Chuan hadn’t woken up yet, but his fever had gone down. The doctor had already arrived and examined him.

According to the doctor, since he was already sick when he was drenched with cold water, his condition worsened, but it wasn’t life-threatening. With sufficient rest and proper medication, he would be able to recover in two to three days.

Bei Sangyun was worried that Fei Chuan hadn’t woken up, but with the doctor’s statement, she was finally relieved. She wanted to stay until he woke up; however, she had many things to do today.

The mess she made last night required a lot of cleaning up.

Bei Sangyun lightly kissed Fei Chuan’s hand before leaving, wishing him a speed recovery. Grandma Pei assured her not to worry and that she would look after Fei Chuan.

"I might not be able to visit for two days. Please call me if you need anything. If I don’t answer in time, call this number." Bei Sangyun gave her number and Butler Xin’s number.

After making sure the place was secure, Bei Sangyun called Zhong Cheng to request leave from school for both Fei Chuan and herself.

On her way to the Lin mansion, her phone rang. It was Butler Xin.

Just after she answered the call and put the speaker to her ear, Butler Xin’s loud voice almost pierced her eardrum.

"Master! What have you done this time!"

Bei Sangyun inched away from the phone, frowning slightly. "Do you really have to yell?"

"You still have the mind to worry about that? Why didn’t you discuss it with me first before you made a mess in the Fei family?!"

"Since when did I have to discuss with you the things I should do? Should I remind you again who the boss is?"

The other line went silent for a few seconds.

"...I apologize, Master. I lost my composure for a moment," Butler Xin muttered from the other line.

"It’s good that you know. Don’t make such mistakes again. Things like this should not surprise you anymore."

"Right. Right." On the other side, Butler Xin timidly nodded. But then he paused.

Wait. He was almost led on!

"Master, I don’t think you understand how important this matter is right now."

"I was just about to tell you what happened yesterday, but it seems the rumors spread faster than my car. I’m almost at the Lin mansion. I’ll give you the details later."

"No! You should not come here! A representative from the Fei family is here. They are looking for you. The Head Master is currently with him and he seems furious.

"The other masters have been notified as well. They’re gathering information on what you did yesterday. They will surely not take this well and use it against you. From what I can see, they will hand you over immediately."

"Oh, the Fei’s are already there? They must have woken up the old man then." No wonder the old man was angry. His sleep was disrupted by visitors who came to settle a debt so early in the morning.

"Master, I think you have more things to worry about. Those people from the Fei family seems determine to take you with them. They came prepared. It will be hard for you to get out of this. I suggest you lie low for a while as we prepare to fight them head-on."

"Who said I am not prepared?" Bei Sangyun glanced at the window. The huge gate of the Lin family was in sight. "I am not the type to go to war I don’t plan on winning."

The gate opened, and several security guards came to check the incoming car.

Bei Sangyun smiled. "I might have to tell you the details of what happened yesterday in another day. Right now, you have to do something for me, Butler Xin."
