“I’ve met that person before. He must be Qu’s right-hand man and must know a lot of the secrets of the Oriental Group. But the Oriental Group will not give up on saving him. Given Qu’s personality, even if they can’t save him, they will definitely not let Zhang Xinlei reveal more information.”

Upon hearing Lu Fan say that Zhang Xinlei had been arrested, he recalled how she had appeared when she came to the company before.

Then he shared his analysis with Lu Fan.

"Yes, your analysis is correct. They tried many ways to rescue Zhang Xinlei, but none of them succeeded. They even had someone poison her food, hoping to kill her, but they failed and ended up poisoning a policeman who ended up in the hospital."

"What? They actually dared to kill someone in the police station?"

Upon hearing that the people from the Oriental Group had poisoned her, Jiang Manyue was startled and asked Lu Fan.

"That's right, but Zhang Xinlei is perfectly fine. She was just poisoned by a junior police officer. They even tried to threaten the guards to let Zhang Xinlei go. Fortunately, I discovered their intentions in advance and sent the provincial inspection team over to arrest Zhang Xinlei, who had escaped with the drug. Now she's been brought to the inspection team, and they no longer have a chance to shut her up. This can be considered as them shooting themselves in the foot."

When Lu Fan heard about the poisoning, he found it amusing. If they hadn't been so brazen, the police wouldn't have taken it seriously.

“Hey, you better watch out. They dare to poison people in the police station. You’re just an ordinary citizen; you can’t fight them. Maybe we should back down.”

Jiang Manyue looked at Lu Fan, sighed, and said to him that since being kidnapped, she had understood a lot. What use was all the money Zheng had? In the end, she couldn't take it with her. As long as her family was safe and sound, that was more important than anything else. She knew that Lu Fan was now standing up for her.

"Stop talking. It's too late to say anything more now. In the end, either he will be punished by law, or I will be kicked out of this city."

Seeing Jiang Manyue's tender gaze, Lu Fan quickly stroked her hair gently and said.

Knowing she couldn't change Lu Fan, Jiang Manyue nestled in his arms, quietly enjoying the moment.

"Honey, what gift would you like?"

Lu Fan held Jiang Manyue in his arms, looked out at the night sky, and asked her with a happy expression.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, he looked down and saw that Jiang Manyue had already fallen asleep. He then checked the time on his phone and saw that it was already 2 a.m. He gently picked up Zhang Xinlei.

She tiptoed toward the room, afraid that any sudden movement would wake Zhang Xinlei.

Even after being placed on the bed, Zhang Xinlei did not wake up, and Lu Fan thoughtfully covered Jiang Manyue with a blanket.

Then he smoothed the stray hairs on Jiang Manyue's forehead, gave her a light kiss, and quietly closed the bedroom door.

He took a blanket and fell asleep on the sofa.

I snore at night and I'm afraid it will disturb Zhang Xinlei's sleep. She's already very tired from work during the day and she's sleeping so late at night. I can't let my snoring disturb her rest.

The alarm clock in the bedroom rang early in the morning, signaling the start of another workday.

"Ah!~"

A scream echoed throughout the entire villa.

"Oh no, we're doomed!"

Upon hearing Jiang Manyue's shout, Lu Fan immediately sat up from the sofa and rushed towards the bedroom at top speed.

"Lu Fan, why didn't you turn off the alarm clock!"

Jiang Manyue was sitting on the bed, her hair a mess from pulling it all over, and she glared at Lu Fan as he walked in, shouting with resentment.

"I forgot to take my phone yesterday, honey, calm down, I'll go make you breakfast now."

Lu Fan had been busy every morning these past few days, so he had set his alarm an hour earlier. However, when he carried Jiang Manyue upstairs last night, he was so tired that he was sweating all over, so he casually threw his clothes aside and forgot about his phone. He quickly turned off his phone alarm, smiled, grabbed his phone, and ran out, gently closing the door behind him.

Jiang Manyue picked up a pillow from the side and angrily threw it towards the door, but Lu Fan had already closed it. The pillow hit the door directly, and then Jiang Manyue pulled the blanket over her head, lay down, and went back to sleep.

What happened?

Lu's mother also came out of her room after getting dressed. She saw Lu Fan standing at the bedroom door and anxiously looked at the closed bedroom door, asking Lu Fan a question.

"Oh, the alarm just went off, I was just a little grumpy when I woke up."

Seeing his mother approach, he smiled to ease the awkwardness and said to her.

"Alright, I thought something had happened."

When Lu's mother heard that nothing was wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Manyue's sudden shout had indeed given her quite a fright.

"Alright, Mom, you should go back to sleep now. I'll make breakfast today."

Seeing that it was still early, he said something to his mother and then headed towards the kitchen.

Lu's mother glanced at the closed bedroom door, yawned, and since Lu Fan had gone to make breakfast, she could go back to sleep. She then returned to her own bedroom.

Once inside the kitchen, Lu Fan looked at the cooking utensils and was unsure what to do first.

Then, a series of clattering sounds came from the kitchen.

——

Ring ring ring!

An hour later, Zhang Xinlei turned off her alarm clock, stretched and sat up. Still half asleep, she tidied her hair and went to wash up. As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, she smelled a strange odor.

"Who's in the kitchen? Why is it so full of smoke?"

Following the scent, Jiang Manyue arrived at the kitchen door and saw that it was filled with white steam. She didn't go too close, but just looked from a distance. Not seeing anyone inside, she asked curiously.

"Honey, you're awake. Go wash up quickly, and we'll have breakfast soon."

Lu Fan, who was cooking, poked his head out from the white steam in the kitchen. Seeing that it was Jiang Manyue speaking to him, he smiled and said to her.

Do you need my help?

Seeing Lu Fan cooking, Jiang Manyue rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Looking at the kitchen behind Lu Fan, she said to him with some concern.

Before Jiang Manyue could finish speaking, Lu Fan returned to the kitchen. Then, the kitchen was filled with clattering sounds. Jiang Manyue took a step forward, looked at the smoke-filled room, and decided to wash up first.

Lu's mother also smelled the odor and went down into the kitchen to check several times. Lu Fan wouldn't let her in. After looking around the kitchen and feeling there was no danger, she ignored it and went back to lie down and sleep. She didn't even bother to have breakfast.

Seeing what Lu Fan had made, which was utterly unappetizing, made them wonder if Lu Fan was really their biological son. They reasoned that even their own cooking wasn't that bad, and wondered if Lu Fan was actually trying to poison them.
