The chaotic confrontation between the group subsided for the time being with Su Yuhan's departure, merely awaiting the next explosion.
The undercurrents of conflict simmering beneath the surface, however, were not so easily quelled.
The first thing Feng Lv, Xia Xuyang, and even Qiu Zishan did after leaving was to dispatch people to investigate the overlap between Su Yuhan and the other men. Qiu Zishan even called Qi Lianxiu directly to inform him that Su Yuhan had already crossed paths with the other two.
Her intention was to make Qi Lianxiu realize the gravity of the situation. Several of Jiang Yuxi's pursuers had now discovered Su Yuhan. If Qi Lianxiu still wanted to pursue Jiang Yuxi, his best course of action was to make a choice. He needed to cut ties with Su Yuhan and erase all traces of their interactions before his real relationship with her was exposed, then pretend nothing had ever happened.
