Lu Baozhi's tone was already high, and coupled with her somewhat agitated emotions, her words attracted the attention of many people.

"Miss, I brought my brother out to eat, what's it to you?"

"What kind of person am I? I don't steal, rob, or break the law. I act with integrity and honesty. I'm not happy about your slander!"

Little did Du Guanglong know that he had just gotten himself into the Lu family's mess.

If he had known the consequences beforehand, I wonder if he would still have been arguing with Miss Lu endlessly.

"Big sister!"

About fifteen minutes later, a pretty figure emerged from the crowd, tugging at Lu Baozhi's sleeve and pulling her away.

"Big sister, we still need to find our brother, why are you arguing with someone here!"

Lu Baoqi's face was mostly covered by a mask.

But when those alluring eyes glanced at Du Guanglong, he couldn't help but shudder.

Lu Baozhi finally seized the opportunity to gain the upper hand, and like a victorious rooster, she proudly raised her head and left.

"Lu Yi?"

Lu Baoqi, who was lagging behind, suddenly saw Lu Yi's face and clenched the hand that was holding Lu Baozhi tightly.

She bit her lip hard to stop herself from screaming.

Lu Baozhi noticed her third sister's expression and hugged her tightly, saying, "Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of about that bald man!"

"But... Lu Yi, he..."

Lu Baoqi thought she had banished the last scene of Lu Gensheng's life from her mind.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing Lu Yi, all her previous efforts were in vain, and she returned to the small hut behind the cemetery gatehouse.

The faces around him became increasingly blurry, until only hazy human outlines remained, emitting various strange sounds.

"Lu Yi, he will understand our good intentions one day. Finding Han'er is the most important thing right now!"

Lu Baozhi sighed heavily.

"Sister, cars can't even drive into those alleys ahead. I don't want to go in. Can I go back to my car and wait for you?"

Lu Baoqi's legs went weak, and most of her weight fell on Lu Baozhi, who practically dragged her along.

If we keep searching like this, I'm afraid we won't find Lu Han even tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll take you back to your car first!"

Lu Baozhi knew what her third sister's heartache was, but she didn't know that her "illness" came on so suddenly and so completely!

As soon as the car door closed, Lu Baoqi immediately pulled over a thin blanket and covered herself up completely.

She didn't want anyone to see her, nor did she want to see anyone; she just wanted to stay like this.

...

Du Guanglong had a great appetite and drank heavily, leaving six or seven empty bottles on the ground.

"Third brother, didn't your eldest brother stand up for you and give that old hag a good dressing down?"

His face was flushed, he patted his belly, and let out a burp.

"Whether you enjoy it or not is up to you, not me. But I want to give you some advice: release that person immediately, and it would be best to send him back to where he came from!"

Lu Yi's intuition is always very accurate.

If the "actor" that Du Guanglong hired is Lu Han, whom the Lu family has been searching for in all their might, then Du Guanglong is very likely in big trouble!

You told him that Du Guanglong went to construction sites to carry bricks, to the train station to carry packages, to the logistics park to unload trucks, and to drive large trucks, and Lu Yi believed it.

But Du Guanglong would never bother with making videos or doing live streams, even if he starved to death.

The key question now is whether Du Guanglong knows the true identity of that lousy "actor".

"They were released a long time ago!"

"Release them?"

"Yes! When we came out, I told them to quickly shoot a few shots and call it a day, and then they released us, didn't they?"

"So you admit that the person was kidnapped by you?"

"Third brother, what are you saying? He was handpicked by us, and we paid him to film that scene!"

Du Guanglong picked up a skewer of chicken cartilage and meat, ate it from head to tail, and chewed it noisily.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'll have my brother pay him double, and I promise that if there's a next time, I'll definitely give him priority!"

Lu Yi felt a little relieved when he heard that he had released the person.

But I still have many questions.

Why did Du Guanglong invite me to watch a show, and even specifically find someone whose physique is somewhat similar to mine? What was he after?

Did he really not know who he had arrested, and was he just making a scene to amuse himself?

Seeing him enjoying his meal, Lu Yi ate a chicken wing.

"Brother, no matter how you negotiate with someone, the premise is that the other party is willing. If they are forced, no matter how much money you give them, it's not legal!"

Lu Yi still wanted to take this opportunity to remind him.

To prevent him from taking the wrong path again.

"I know, we brothers are just doing things for money. We'll do whatever it takes to get paid to do it!"

"People just want to see a fight scene. Unless I'm an idiot, I wouldn't actually hit someone. I'll just put on a show to make it look like a joke!"

Du Guanglong waved, and the boss brought over another case of wine.

Lu Yi frowned.

A snap was made to stop Du Guanglong's hand from opening the bottle.

So, the other side asked you to hit me?

Lu Yi finally found the answer to the question.

The knot that had been lingering in my heart was suddenly untied.

Things that I couldn't understand before have become clear.

Someone must have paid Du Guanglong's men to do something to him, but Du Guanglong naturally refused, and that's how this misunderstanding happened.

"Third brother, you knew all along?"

Du Guanglong, slurring his words, grabbed Lu Yi by the back of the neck, their foreheads touching.

"Third brother, I'm telling you this right now: as long as I have a breath left, I will never let anyone lay a finger on you!"

"Whoever he is, I'll protect the people I'm protecting to the very end. Even if the King of Hell himself tries to snatch them from my grasp one day, I'll still go toe-to-toe with him!"

He grinned, tilted his head back, and downed the entire bottle of wine.

Lu Yi waited until he put down the wine bottle, then asked in a low voice, "That man... is called Fan Tong, right?"

Du Guanglong stood there, stunned.

"You guessed it all?"

Seeing that the surrounding customers had all left, leaving several tables empty, Lu Yi nodded.

"Fan Tong is an accomplice in the murder of my uncle, and also one of the key criminals the police are pursuing. Furthermore, I also suspect that he is..."

Seeing Lu Yi speaking seriously about business, Du Guanglong took out a cigarette and soon began puffing out smoke, becoming deep and thoughtful.

What do you suspect Fan Tong of?

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yi decided to tell him the truth.

“If your client is Fan Tong, then the reason why he hired someone to beat me up is quite obvious.”

"Recently, I've only targeted one person: Lu Han, who is now the eldest young master of the Lu family..."

"Fan Tong took his anger out on me to show that young master Lu, brother. Have I made myself clear enough?"

How could Du Guanglong not understand?

He knew exactly what was going on.

I just don't know how to bring this up with Lu Yi.

But he really didn't know who his men had captured!

Seeing him nodding vigorously like a chick pecking at rice, Lu Yi sighed.

"The truth is, you took his money, arrested him, beat him, and the one watching the show... was me!"
