Her adoptive father passed away, her adoptive mother became paralyzed, and she was forced by her mother to marry a 'vegetable' man in place of her stepsister.
On their wedding night, ...
Lu Xiangbei didn't say it directly, but just held Liu Xiangnan's hand: "Come with me."
Liu Xiangnan got in the car and sat in the passenger seat.
She watched Lu Xiangbei drive and frowned, "Why is your driving different from what the driving school teacher said? When you accelerated, why didn't you step on the clutch or shift into gear?"
Lu Xiangbei listened to her simple question and smiled: "Because it is an automatic transmission, there is no need to shift gears back and forth."
"Automatic transmission is so convenient!"
Liu Xiangnan was a little surprised, and then he thought that he might have learned the manual transmission wrongly.
"Automatic transmission is convenient, but if you learn to drive an automatic transmission, you won't be able to drive a manual transmission car. But if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you can drive both manual and automatic transmission cars."
Liu Xiangnan nodded in sudden realization, "I'm so stupid, I didn't know that before."
"You're not stupid."
Lu Xiangbei turned the steering wheel and comforted Liu Xiangnan, "It's understandable that you don't know the basics of a field you've never explored before. It's just like city boys and girls who go to the countryside and may not be able to tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings."
With Lu Xiangbei's comfort, Liu Xiangnan's mood indeed improved a lot.
The car drove for more than half an hour, and Lu Xiangbei brought her to the transitional house where the two of them lived after moving out of Lu's house.
Liu Xiangnan looked at Lu Xiangbei with some suspicion, not understanding what tricks he was playing. But when he entered the house and saw that the man lying on the ground was Huang Yan, Liu Xiangnan suddenly realized.
She grabbed Lu Xiangbei's hand and walked out the door with an anxious tone.
"How did you catch him? Did you use... that? Are you hurt?"
In order to prevent Huang Yan from knowing Lu Xiangbei's secret, Liu Xiangnan deliberately changed the words to a more obscure one.
Seeing that Liu Xiangnan was so worried about him, Lu Xiangbei felt very happy.
He grabbed Liu Xiangnan's hand and comforted her gently.
"I only used a little bit of that. I followed the smell of the cigar he left on you and Liang Tian to find his hiding place. When I caught him, I didn't use anything like the stuff you were worried about. Besides, I wasn't injured, and nothing happened to me. He was the one who got hurt."
Although Lu Xiangbei said he was fine, Liu Xiangnan was still worried. She pushed up Lu Xiangbei's sleeve and found that there was no wound on his arm.
She reached out to unbutton his collar, but Lu Xiangbei quickly reached out to stop her.
He bent down his tall body, placed his thin lips next to her ear, and said ambiguously, "After we deal with Jin Yue, I'll strip completely for you to examine, okay?"
Liu Xiangnan's face, which had not been red for a long time, suddenly turned red again.
The fact that Lu Xiangbei could say such words meant that he was really not injured.
If it were normal, Liu Xiangnan felt that she would definitely give Lu Xiangbei a punch as a small punishment for his inappropriate words.
But now, after a brief moment of embarrassment, her attention was attracted by a name.
"Jin Yue?"
Liu Xiangnan couldn't believe it: "Someone from the Jin family in Kyoto?"
"yes."
After learning that the fake Huang Yan's identity was Jin Yue, the Jin family member who had not appeared in Kyoto for several months, Liu Xiangnan's heart became particularly heavy.
She walked in and interrogated Jin Yue with a serious face.
"What is your purpose in approaching me?"
Jin Yue looked at the couple. Although he hated them to death in his heart, after learning about Lu Xiangbei's military strength, he did not dare to show too much hostility towards them in his expression.
So, he chose to tell the truth.
"At first, I just wanted to know if Jiang Mingyue had left anything for you. Later, after some investigation, I found out that you hadn't told fortunes or read faces for anyone close to you, and there was no mention of you online. I wanted to sow discord between you and the Lu family and make your life more difficult. Later, I didn't expect you to come forward and express your interest in the portrait of Yuanshi Tianzun. You also said you had the magical artifact inherited from Jiang Mingyue. I wanted to target you, destroy you, and then the reputation of the Lu family, and force you or Lu Xiangbei to hand over those magical artifacts."
Seeing that they had secretly observed him telling fortunes or reading faces for people around him, Liu Xiangnan suddenly felt fortunate.
She never tells others that she can read faces and tell fortunes, and when she broadcasts live on the Internet, she disguises herself very well, so that even her own mother would not recognize her.
Hmm...it seems like my mother is not familiar with her...
"What secret is hidden in that painting? Why did you kill my master?"
"Didn't you and Lu Xiangbei guess the secret of the painting? The painting hides the locations where the five batches of cultural relics were moved south. And there's something on the magic weapon that can verify the location of the hidden cultural relics."
Liu Xiangnan had never expected that the rhetoric she and Lu Xiangbei had fabricated at the auction in order to stimulate Cheng Jie to buy the wooden fish at a high price was actually true!
but……
Liu Xiangnan felt that there were not so many coincidences in this world.
Who can guarantee that Jin Yue is not lying?
"What was your real purpose in killing my master? You haven't answered this yet?"
"I don't know the specific details of the festival. I only know that your master had promised Great Grandfather to escort the cultural relics to the south. After peace was restored, Great Grandfather sent people to contact your master, but couldn't get through. The people who followed your master left clues saying that they were killed by your grandfather. Great Grandfather believed that your master had betrayed the Jin family, so he ordered his descendants to hunt down your master."
Liu Xiangnan narrowed his eyes.
Jin Yue's words were different from those of Taoist Zhizhen.
Taoist Zhizhen said that the previous head of the family was a truly good person, and it was only after the second head of the family took office that he started to hunt down her master.
"Who were those people who killed my master?"
"Tian Sanniang, Duan Laoliu, Fatty Li, and Wang Daya."
"Is Tian Sanniang dead?"
When Uncle Zhang said that her master's death was related to the Jin family in Kyoto, Lu Xiangbei sent people to investigate, and the police also investigated, and the answer given was that Tian Sanniang was dead.
"Dead?"
Jin Yuedi showed a hint of sneer on his face: "Duan Laoliu and the others are dead, but Tian Sanniang will not die either. She is living a good life now!"
Liu Xiangnan's heart instantly rose to his throat.
What Jin Yue meant was that Tian Sanniang was not dead!
Even the other four people who killed her master were not dead!
Very good!
She can seek revenge on these people herself!
"Where are they now?"
Jin Yue looked down at his bound limbs and said, "It's not impossible for me, but could you please untie the ropes on me first?"
"no."
Lu Xiangbei refused without thinking.
"No way!"
Jin Yue was dissatisfied: "Even if my hands were still intact, I'd still be no match for you, let alone now that you've disabled them. Lu Xiangbei, I'm already in such a miserable state, and you can't even ask me to loosen my arms?"
