Chapter 186 Strange Taste
Lu Yinghan felt that the Lu family's attitude towards her had been inexplicably nice these past few days.
When teammates brought them food, they would suddenly appear beside them, take the food from them, and want to invite them to the restaurant to eat with them.
But Lu Yinghan rejected him.
When she was resting at night, they would appear at her door from time to time with a cup of something in their hands.
It's hot and looks like milk.
But Lu Yinghan pretended not to see it.
Close the door and sleep.
These unnecessary actions interfered with her work.
Finally, on the seventh day of coming to the Lu family, Lu Yinghan frowned and looked at Lu Yu who appeared in front of her. Her face looked extremely ugly.
"Second Young Master Lu, are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Ah? No! How could we be dissatisfied? Why do you think so?"
"Then why do you keep appearing in front of me and interfering with my work?"
Lu Yu's expression froze and his whole body stiffened.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know this would interfere with your work."
Lu Yu lowered his head apologetically and hid some small wooden toys in his hands behind his back.
Lu Yinghan naturally saw what was in his hand. There were a lot of things that Guan Lu Jiansen had shown in front of her in the past few days.
But I didn't want any.
trouble.
"elder sister…….."
Lu Xuanyao stood cautiously at the back, watching Lu Yinghan and Lu Yu chatting.
As if she could see Lu Yinghan's resistance to Lu Yu, Lu Xuanyao appeared at the right time, and Lu Yu was suddenly speechless.
Lu Yinghan ignored Lu Yu and turned around and left, following Lu Xuanyao.
"Ms. Lu, what's wrong?"
"Um... I got two cakes. Do you want to eat them together?"
Lu Yinghan looked at Lu Xuanyao's desk.
really
There were two pieces of strawberry mille-feuille, with water drops on the fork next to them.
It must have been out of the refrigerator for a while.
When I saw this strawberry mille-feuille, I really wanted to try it when I was a child.
Lu Yinghan thought of the piece that Grandpa Liu had brought for her in the car.
Look at the cake on the table again.
Lu Yinghan has become bored.
But Lu Xuanyao did rescue herself just now.
Take a polite bite.
Lu Yinghan thought so and actually did so.
She sat down with Lu Xuanyao, picked up a small piece with her fork, and put it into her mouth.
Then he put down his fork and waited for Lu Xuanyao to finish eating.
"Sister... Miss Liu, don't you like it? What flavor do you like? I can get it for you."
"No, Miss Lu, I don't really like eating."
Indeed, this strawberry mille-feuille always feels like the taste is not right.
For some reason, Lu Yinghan thought of the servant she saw at that time.
My heart was slightly startled.
"Ms. Lu, please be careful recently. If someone in your family suddenly gives you something, you should also be careful."
"ah?"
Lu Xuanyao didn't quite understand and was still chewing the cake.
"…nothing"
Forget it, just pay attention to it yourself.
At this time, there was a knock on the Lu family's door, and the team member who delivered the meal came in.
Just as the Lu family was about to go over to take it, Lu Yinghan trotted over and took it herself.
"Thank you for today, too."
Recently, this member has been delivering meals to me.
Sometimes dinner and breakfast don’t come, maybe because of shift changes.
But the rest of the time, as long as he is there, he is almost always in charge.
Looking at the visitor with gratitude.
Lu Yinghan always felt very familiar.
Every time she wanted to ask him if they had met somewhere before, he would just leave without giving Lu Yinghan a chance to chat.
Yes, during the mission, everyone's time was precious, and I overstepped my limit.
As she was thinking this, there was another knock on Lu Xuanyao's door.
"Come in."
The door opened and the woman with a strange expression and behavior came in.
Her complexion was worse than in the past few days, and the area around her eyes was red, obviously she hadn't slept much.
Lu Yinghan's vigilance reached its peak.
"Ladies, this is the freshly squeezed drink that Master Lu asked me to bring to you."
Lu Yinghan watched her put down the drink and then walk out.
Lu Xuanyao was already feeling a little greasy from eating cake, so the drink was just right for her.
Without saying a word, she picked it up and took a sip. Before Lu Yinghan could stop her, she had already swallowed it in one big gulp.
"What's wrong?"
After drinking the juice, Lu Xuanyao shrank her neck again when she saw Lu Yinghan looking at her with a slightly helpless expression.
"It's okay, Miss Lu, just continue eating."
You should observe by yourself for the next few nights, and don't alert the enemy for now. She suspects the servant, and since she has suspicions, she should not be the only one doing it.
There must be more than one person.
This matter needs to be explained clearly to the team members.
You need to pay attention to your surroundings and always observe people entering and leaving your home.
"Ms. Lu, please eat first. I'm going to go out for a while. I have something to take care of."
"Oh, okay, I get it, go ahead and do your work."
Lu Yinghan nodded, strode out, and quickly found the captain.
"Miss Liu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lu Xiong, who was reading a newspaper in the living room, heard some noise behind him. He quickly looked back and saw Lu Yinghan running downstairs.
Lu Xiong immediately stood up and looked at her with concern.
Lu Yinghan just glanced at Lu Xiong.
"Report something."
After saying that, he walked out of the room, leaving Lu Xiong alone in the living room, feeling awkward.
"Captain, I have something to report to you."
Lu Yinghan came to the captain and calmly reported to him the strange things she found and the people she suspected.
On the second floor of the villa, through a window blocked by a tree, a dark figure was looking at Lu Yinghan who was talking to the captain. It looked for a long time, then smiled coldly, and after a while, disappeared in front of the window.
"Um?"
Lu Yinghan, who was talking, suddenly felt a chill on her back.
It felt like she was electrocuted in her spine, with electricity rushing out and hitting her brain directly.
He turned around suddenly and looked back, observing carefully, making sure that every window was intact.
But no one was there.
Am I being too suspicious?
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing... Maybe I'm just being overly suspicious."
After listening to Lu Yinghan's report, the captain frowned and pondered for a while...
"I will ask everyone to pay more attention to what you said, but you have to be careful too. After all, we are only on the periphery, but you are the main force inside. If there is any problem, remember to press her, and we will rush in as soon as possible."
The captain pointed to a medal on Lu Yinghan's chest. If you didn't look carefully, you might not see that there was a red button on it.
Shine like a diamond.
But no one wants to touch it.
Because once it is touched, it means something big has happened.
Lu Yinghan nodded to show that she understood, and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the captain believes what I say, so what's next.
You have to be careful about everything.
