Strange. Logically speaking, in this kind of world, everyone is fighting for themselves, and surviving within the rules is a big problem. How come someone is... making a phone call?

Moreover, Si Jin herself didn't even know her own home phone number.

Ignoring the crying, he quickly walked a few steps and answered the phone, "Hello?"

After the sentence, there was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by intermittent sobs: "Brother-in-law... Brother Zhan... he's... gone..."

It's Lu You!

Where is Lu You? Why has Lian Zhan disappeared?

Si Jin immediately became serious: "Where are you?"

"Bedroom...the house is the same, I...I can't find it..."

"Then don't move." Si Jin interrupted him, but her words were reassuring: "We'll be there right away."

After saying that, she grabbed Nie Linyuan from the kitchen and ordered Xiao Yao to search for Lu You's location.

Through these days of investigation, Si Jin can roughly confirm that this so-called "it" is Lu You's father and Nie Linyuan's adoptive father.

At the same time, he was also the culprit who created the strange rules and killed the original owner... the main culprit.

He was indeed nearby, but why did he take Lian Zhan away?

Si Jin thought about it all the way there but couldn't figure it out until she crossed two streets and arrived at Lu You's house and realized...

Lu You was wrapped in a nightgown, huddled under the covers, with red marks showing through the loose neckline, and his eyes were swollen and terribly red from crying.

It looked like someone had just bullied it; it was so miserable that it was difficult for it to even sit up.

Her voice was hoarse, her knuckles were red, and she was curled up into a small ball because of back pain. She looked as pitiful as could be.

"..."

Si Jin, who had been pondering all the way, suddenly had a sudden realization.

If "it" is indeed Lu You's biological father, and has a twisted personality, it would be good enough if he didn't kill Lian Zhan after seeing his son being tormented like this by an outsider!

"elder brother……"

Upon seeing them arrive, Lu You immediately peeked out, his eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Nie Linyuan, "I saw him, Dad... Dad's back..."

Therefore, "it" really is Lu's father, Lu Fenglin.

Nie Linyuan took a step forward, about to comfort the person, when Si Jin grabbed his hand and smiled gracefully.

Nie Linyuan was stunned, not understanding Si Jin's intentions, when he was violently thrown out the door, which was then locked with a bang.

A moment of silence fell over the room, an awkwardness tinged with a sense of oppression.

Si Jin walked around the room and locked all the windows, instantly making the room airtight.

Lu You didn't quite understand, and gritted his teeth as he sat up: "Brother...brother-in-law...what are you going to do...I'll help...help you..."

"Help me? Sure." Si Jin slightly curled her lips, her charming eyes gradually brightening as she teased, "Although it's not good to indulge in debauchery in broad daylight, since you've asked, I can satisfy you."

Lu You felt a jolt in his heart, his fair fingers gripping the corner of the blanket tightly, a sense of inexplicable fear rising within him.

He felt that Si Jin was extremely wicked at this moment.

Not only was he nasty, but he also exuded an unapproachable chill. He instinctively took a step back: "You... what do you want to do..."

“Baby, this is a world governed by rules. Sometimes you have to be pragmatic.” Si Jin said, then walked step by step to the bedside and leaned close to Lu You: “If Lian Zhan can’t be relied on, rely on me.”

"Don't worry, I've already kicked your brother out. I'll take you here, and no one will find out."

After saying that, she raised her hand and approached the pitiful-looking boy, seemingly wanting to tidy up the stray hairs at Lu You's temples.

But before his hand could even touch anyone, he felt a powerful killing intent rushing towards him from behind.

Si Jin's eyes sharpened, divine power gathered in his palm, and in a moment he turned around, with a whoosh—

They twisted the person's hand off.

He quickly released his grip, then grabbed "it" by the neck, strangling its lifeline.

One move to defeat the enemy.
