Soon, the police arrived.
Seeing that there had been an attack on the street, they immediately surrounded the area.
Charles got out of the car like a noble gentleman and handed his identity card to the police.
After the police learned Nangong Nuannuan’s identity, their attitudes immediately got more respectful.
The police proceeded to bow and apologize to Charles before bringing the mercenaries back to the police station.
Charles sat back inside the Rolls-Royce.
Nangong Nuannuan did not even need to ask him how he was going to handle this matter. He handled everything.
Wu Zongyang, Sze Lingyun, and Wu Pingting, who were standing to the side, wanted to know what Nuannuan was going to do now.
Not long after the car drove away, Duke Eton called.
“Nuannuan, didn’t your plane land a long time ago? Why haven’t you gotten back yet?”
“We encountered a wave of assassins. Charles has handed them over to the police.”
“What?!” The voice on the other end of the phone rose. Even Wu Pingting and the others could hear him.
“Who did that?! Why did they want to assassinate you? Are they alright?!”
Everyone, “…”
Duke Eton was probably just being dramatic, right?
No wonder the Uncle Butler was such a drama king. It turned out that Duke Eton was quite the thespian himself.
His own daughter had almost been assassinated, but he was more worried about who the assassin was than his own daughter’s well-being.
He really had his priorities muddled up.
“Yes, we’re fine. Charles knows his limits and didn’t kill them.”
“Yes, yes. It’s good that they’re fine. Sigh. It’s not easy for them to make a living. Let them go, and don’t kill them.”
“Yep.”
“Just kill the person who hired them.”
Everyone, “…”
“Yes.” Nangong Nuannuan agreed.
The three Wu siblings had no words to describe this duke. He clearly was an expert at toeing the line between genius and insanity. He was so charitable, even to those that hurt him.
No wonder Nangong Nuannuan’s personality was so likable. The Duke’s personality had rubbed off on her.
If Nangong Nuannuan could hear the siblings’ thoughts, she would have told them that it was the other way around.
Duke Eton and the people from his mansion were so magnanimous and cheerful because Nuannuan had joined their big family and changed their worldview.
The Duke’s mansion was a huge manor.
Luntan was vast and sparsely populated. The size of Duke’s mansion was at least as big as 30 football fields.
After entering the manor, everyone was greeted with a sea of flowers. It looked like a scene straight out of a fairytale.
Even though it was already night, everyone could see that the plants there were all lavender.
It was a summer night. The wind was blowing gently, and the lavender swayed with the wind, surrounding the beautiful castle in the sea of flowers. The sky was filled with stars, and the moonlight trickled down as if they were in a dream.
Wu Zongyang, Sze Lingyun, and Wu Pingting desperately tookas many photos as they could with their mobile phones. Wu Zongyang and Wu Pingting had been to Luntan before and seen all kinds of castles, but they had never seen anything as beautiful as this before.
“Nuannuan, have you lived in this castle before?” Wu Pingting asked excitedly while taking pictures.
“Yes. Whenever I return to Luntan, I live here. This place isn’t just beautiful, but full of freedom. My father is a good man and doesn’t have many rules, so I like staying here.”
