Pei Yichen's friend, Lin Yu, appeared. Lin Yu was a carefree and unrestrained hero. Upon hearing about Pei Yichen and Jiang Lian'er, he took the initiative to come to her aid.
One day, Jiang Lian'er was working in the courtyard as usual, the scorching sun baking the earth. Sweat dripped from her forehead, yet she dared not pause for even a moment. Suddenly, assassins sent by the Wang family emerged, dressed in black and masked, brandishing sharp blades as they lunged at her like wolves.
Jiang Lian'er was terrified, frantically searching for a place to hide. She gripped a broom tightly in her hands, trying to use it as a weapon for defense.
At that critical moment, Lin Yu appeared like a ghost.
He leaped down from the courtyard wall with agility, his figure graceful and his clothes billowing. He swiftly drew his sword from his waist, its blade glinting coldly in the sunlight.
With a loud shout, Lin Yu charged at the assassins, effortlessly blocking their attacks.
His swordsmanship was fierce; each strike whistled through the air, flowing like water as he continuously pressed forward. In just a few moves, he had pushed the assassins back.
Seeing the situation turn against them, the assassins attempted to flee. Lin Yu lightly tapped the ground with his toes and swiftly blocked their escape route.
His gaze was icy, as if he were a demon from hell. "Want to leave? Not so easily!" With that, another fierce battle ensued, ultimately subduing all the assassins.
Afterward, Lin Yu used his extensive connections in the martial world to provide Jiang Lian'er with information from outside her residence. He often stealthily entered Jiang Residence at night, visiting Jiang Lian'er’s room for secret discussions.
"Ms. Jiang," he said, "I’ve heard some unfavorable rumors about your father in the martial world. It seems he has connections with some smuggling gangs involved in salt and iron trade. These gangs are secretly controlling a large amount of illegal business while your father provides them protection in official circles."
Listening to this, Jiang Lian'er furrowed her brow, feeling anger and disappointment toward her father's actions.
Lin Yu continued, "Moreover, I have uncovered some clues about the Wang family colluding with certain forces in the martial world.
The Wang family has connections with a cult known as the Shadow Cult, which specializes in poison and assassination. They may be plotting something detrimental to Ms. Jiang."
Jiang Lian'er felt a jolt of alarm in her heart; she knew her situation was becoming increasingly perilous, but it also strengthened her resolve to fight back.
Taking this opportunity to further understand the situation, Jiang Lian'er began to cleverly maneuver within the residence. She deliberately leaked some false information in front of Wang family's confidants, casually mentioning that she had discovered correspondence between Father Jiang and a mysterious figure, suggesting that the letters contained details about a vast fortune.
Upon hearing this, the Wang family's confidants hurriedly relayed the news to the Wang family.
Upon learning of this, the Wang family was overjoyed, believing they had found leverage against Father Jiang. They were eager to exploit this information to suppress him and gain more power and wealth.
Thus, they began secretly investigating Father Jiang, unaware that this was a trap set by Jiang Lian'er, which gradually caused rifts within their own ranks and led them to chaos.
Throughout this process, Lin Yu not only served as Jiang Lian'er's informant but also became her protector.
He patrolled around the Jiang Residence discreetly to prevent the Wang family from sending assassins again.
On one occasion, Lin Yu noticed several suspicious individuals loitering near the Jiang Residence. He stealthily approached and overheard them discussing how to infiltrate the residence again to harm Jiang Lian'er.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu sprang into action, defeating them decisively and learned from them that the Wang family was plotting yet another scheme.
He hurriedly conveyed this information to Jiang Lian'er so she could prepare in advance.
The appearance of Lin Yu was like a bright lamp illuminating Jiang Lian'er’s dark life in the Jiang Residence, providing her with hope and strength, and giving her a more solid backing in her struggle against the Wang family.
