The woman's condition was beyond saving.

Yan Jiu turned off the live stream.

Accustomed to being the center of attention, Yan Jiu did not notice that someone was subtly watching her from a short distance away.

Lang Zongyi noticed it, but he was too slow; the man quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Lang Zongyi frowned and remained silent.

Yan Jiu ran up to Lang Zongyi and warmly invited them to have lunch together.

Lang Zongyi looked around and saw that the sun was not high in the sky; it was definitely not lunchtime.

Yan Jiu understood Lang Zongyi's gaze, and she explained confidently, "I was so tired from fortune telling just now, it's only right that I eat lunch early to replenish my energy."

Ma Weiwei unconditionally agreed: "That's right, that's right!"

Lin Han said weakly, "A murder has occurred, and since we can't leave anytime soon anyway, why don't we go eat first?"

Lang Zongyi: "..." Nothing can stop you from eating, huh?

Outside the service area.

While Yan Jiu and the others were having dinner.

The person who had noticed Yan Jiu earlier hung up the phone. He was all muscle and clearly a trained fighter.

"Old Cao, have you gotten in touch with Daddy? Who does he plan to send to pick us up?"

A boy with red, yellow and green hair leaned impatiently against a tree.

He was playing games out of sheer boredom.

Hang up the phone when you see someone.

Only then did he speak up to ask.

As Old Cao walked over, he said, "Young Master, the master asked us to wait."

He told the head of the Hong family about the situation, mainly describing Yan Jiu, rather than the fact that they were stuck in the service area, but he couldn't tell the angry boy this.

Hongyu was seething with resentment. He looked into the distance and said, "Fuck! The highway is blocked by those cops. It'll take a while for the road to be cleared. How long will that take?"

Old Cao respectfully corrected him: "Young master, you must not be disrespectful to the soldiers of this country."

Hongyu put down his phone: "Hilarious! Who would believe that we gang leaders have any respect for their police if we told them?"

Old Cao's expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "Whether outsiders believe it or not is up to them; whether we respect it or not is up to us. Young master, if the teacher knew that you haven't gotten used to the language of this country yet, he would probably start nagging again."

It's unclear which of Lao Cao's words had the effect, but Hongyu, who was in a fit of anger, suddenly calmed down.

Hongyu stepped out of the shade of the tree.

Sunlight fell on his dazzling hair, reflecting an unusual tranquility.

He couldn't understand it.

Their Hong family, if not all-powerful in the US, certainly wielded considerable influence. Why would they give up such favorable conditions and return to a country where even carrying a gun requires a license?

Is it merely for the sake of returning to one's roots?

His father's ideas are absolutely ridiculous!

Now they're pulling another stunt of sending people back to China in batches.

The idea was that whoever found the true owner of "Starry Night" first would have the Hong family completely handed over to them.

Although he didn't want to admit it, compared to his father's illegitimate children, he was completely outmatched and had no chance of finding the Master of "Starry Night" before them.

We're still stuck at the highway service area...
