Chapter 579: Chapter 499: A Traitor Within! (Five Updates)

"I want to help too!" Danton supported Nancy, bending down slightly, as he looked at Mi Chenxuan seated in the driver’s seat.

Mi Chenxuan’s eye twitched involuntarily, "You not coming is already the greatest help to us!"

Mi Chenxuan waited for Kou’er to get in the car before speeding off through the gates.

Once everyone had left, Nancy frowned, "What exactly is going on?"

Danton chuckled, "It’s nothing to do with us. They’re catching bad guys."

Danton held Nancy’s hand as they walked toward the hall, but Nancy resisted forcefully, holding him back. "If you won’t tell me, I won’t go in! Danton, tell me—are people trying to kill us?"

"..." Danton gave her a helpless glance.

"Even if you don’t say it, I already know. Someone is definitely trying to kill us. Otherwise, why are there so many people in the neighborhood? They’re protecting us, aren’t they?"

"Sis, even if there are people who want us dead, Uncle Che will never let them succeed. This is the Duke’s residence in Xiawu. Standing here and refusing to go in—this is embarrassing for both of us." Danton furrowed his brows slightly.

Nancy narrowed her eyes, "Starting now, don’t leave my sight. I’ll protect you!"

Danton threw his arms around Nancy’s shoulders and laughed, "The Duke’s residence is tightly guarded. We’re perfectly safe here."

Nancy scrutinized Danton suspiciously, "Tightly guarded? Why haven’t I seen a single person?"

Danton raised his hand and pointed at the glass room on the rooftop, "On the roof, there are over a dozen snipers, taking shifts 24 hours a day. And in this courtyard, surveillance cameras are everywhere. From the moment we entered the gate, every move we make is visible to them."

Nancy tilted her head back and looked upward, letting out a long sigh of relief, "Now I’m reassured."

Danton said with a smile, "You really don’t need to worry. That’s just during the day. At night, the security forces are even stronger. When I first got here, Big Sister Luowa told me that without being accompanied by family members from their household, I absolutely shouldn’t wander around the courtyard alone at night."

Nancy’s gaze shifted slightly, and she smiled, "That’s good, then."

In the hall, Yi Luowa and Tong Yao had already heard the sound of the car but hadn’t seen anyone walk in for a long time. Tong Yao sighed helplessly, "These kids—they’re obviously back, so why haven’t they come in yet?"

"I’ll go take a look." Yi Luowa smiled as she got up.

Just as she reached the door, Danton and Nancy were walking toward her.

Yi Luowa paused and stopped, her eyes brimming with amusement as she looked at Nancy. "Hello, Princess Nancy."

Nancy froze, as though struck by lightning, her mouth gaping wide in shock, "You... you..."

Seeing her this frightened, Danton couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Your reaction is even bigger than Mom’s!"

Nancy’s face had gone pale as she looked at Danton, "She... Mom saw her?"

"Yep, Mom was startled too. She said, ’How can there be someone in this world who looks so alike?’"

"And then?" Nancy asked in a panic.

"And then there was no ’and then.’" Danton laughed, giving Nancy’s shoulder a pat. "Let me properly introduce you—this is the wife of Duke Ai Rui, Lady Luowa. Big Sister Luowa, this is my sister, Nancy."

Yi Luowa extended her hand with a smile, "Nice to meet you."

Nancy shook her hand mechanically, "Nice to meet you, Lady Luowa. I was rude just now. My apologies."

"When I first saw your photo, my reaction was quite similar to yours."

Yi Luowa glanced at Danton with a smile, "Take your sister inside. Look how scared you made her."

"I still have to give Dad a little scare." Danton grinned, hugging Nancy’s shoulder as they walked through the door. Not hearing footsteps behind them, he turned around to see Yi Luowa still standing in the same spot.

Danton released Nancy, stepped back, and grabbed Yi Luowa’s hand, "Big Sister Luowa, come in quickly."

Yi Luowa asked with a teasing smile, "Do you know why I didn’t go in just now?"

Danton raised a brow slightly, "Why?"

"I wanted to see if Princess Nancy and I look alike in any way besides our faces."

"And then?"

Yi Luowa chuckled softly, "There was no ’and then,’ because I’ve never seen my own back before, so I couldn’t tell just now."

"Haha..." Danton laughed, "I’ll help you two take a look. You go ahead, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my sister."

Nancy turned her head to look at them and said with a smile, "Danton, come inside already. It’s cold out here. If you want to look, do it inside."

Tong Yao heard voices and walked over with a laugh, "I think I hear Princess Nancy’s voice. Come inside and sit..."

Nancy quickly curtsied, "Lady Biyao, hello."

Tong Yao helped her up with a warm smile, "There’s no need for such formalities at home. Look at Danton—he’s far less restrained."

"Danton, where are Eighth Brother and the others?" Yi Luowa tugged at Danton’s sleeve lightly.

Danton pouted slightly, "They went back to the apartment. Earlier when we went over, there was a minor incident. Eighth Brother’s taking Kou’er and the rest to deal with it."

"A minor incident?" Yi Luowa’s brows knitted tightly, "Don’t keep me in suspense—hurry up and tell me."

Danton gave Yi Luowa a meaningful look. The two walked to the balcony one after the other.

Danton briefly recounted the events to Yi Luowa. After listening, her expression darkened slightly, "Danton, there’s a traitor among us!"
