After the small dinner party, Du Guanglong checked into the room that Huo Xiao had prepared for him in advance.

This is one of the villas located in the Huo family villa complex.

Currently, only he and Lao Wang live there.

After the Huo family left, Old Wang toured the place from top to bottom, and was speechless with astonishment.

"Brother Long, logically speaking, the Lu family isn't bad off, but I've never seen them be so generous to anyone before!"

Du Guanglong lay down on the sofa and snorted, "A family that treats its own son like dirt has a heart that's barely bigger than the eye of a needle!"

"Old Wang, Lu Yi said you helped him before, which is why he's giving you this opportunity. Don't you dare cause any trouble!"

There was no need to warn him, but if we don't address the unpleasant truths upfront, things will be difficult later.

Old Wang stroked the standing blue-and-white porcelain vase, grinning from ear to ear.

Thinking of Lu Yi, his expression gradually darkened again.

"Young Master Yi is clearly a kind-hearted child. He was so pitiful back then, and Aunt Wu shed tears several times because of his heartache!"

"But after all the hardships, he has finally made it. With the Gu and Fan families backing him up, at least in Jiangzhou, no one dares to lay a finger on him."

Things are different now. The boy who used to sleep in the small storage room has grown up in the blink of an eye and has attracted his own powerful strength at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye.

If things continue to develop like this, it won't be long before the Lu family can't even catch up with them.

Du Guanglong lazily flicked away the cigarette ash, shrugged, and chuckled softly.

"This is nothing, Lao Wang. You'll have a lot to learn in the Huo family from now on!"

The implication is...

This is not a place like the Lu family's, a place rife with corruption and chaos.

Just then, Du Guanglong's phone rang.

He answered the call as soon as he saw the number.

Dongzi exclaimed with delight, "Brother, that imposter really did set off for Fengcheng. Before leaving the city, he even went to the bank."

Du Guanglong grinned.

"I knew this guy wouldn't stay put. How much money did he take?"

Dongzi scratched his head and said, "He wasn't withdrawing money; he was depositing it. I leaned closer and listened, and he seemed to be in a hurry."

Dongzi was naturally unaware that Lu Han had been seduced by her own mother.

"Judging from his impatient tone, he shouldn't be an outsider."

Not an outsider?

Du Guanglong raised his eyelids, looked at Old Wang who was touching and looking around, coughed, and said seriously, "Didn't the rest of the Lu family come to Fengcheng?"

Old Wang turned around, looking wary.

For some unknown reason, Du Guanglong's hand, which was playing with the lighter, suddenly stopped.

"I knew Lu Zhengming wouldn't want to part with this piece of fat meat. Even if he doesn't take a bite, he'll still come and smell it."

"Alright, you keep an eye on things. Contact me when you get to Fengcheng. I'm worried about Lao San being alone. You'll be with him from now on."

After hanging up the phone, he narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Old Wang volunteered to boil water and brew a pot of tea.

"Brother Long, feel free to ask me anything. I may not know much, but I might be able to help!"

"Don't worry, among the Lu family members, I only trust Young Master Yi."

Du Guanglong did want to ask, but it seemed a bit impolite to ask someone else's biological mother so readily.

He opened his mouth, then turned over and sat up.

"Do you know where that Lu Han was picked up from?"

The Lu family kept silent about Lu Han's background, so Old Wang was naturally not very sure.

Seeing Du Guanglong's serious demeanor, he dared not speak nonsense.

He shook his head.

Du Guanglong poured the tea and drank it all in one gulp. Old Wang, ever observant, promptly refilled his cup.

But Du Guanglong didn't pick up the glass again. Instead, he got up and walked to the refrigerator in the corner of the living room, opened the door and carefully rummaged through it.

"Are you hungry? To be honest, I'm a pretty good cook. How about I make a couple of dishes to go with some drinks?"

Seeing his overtures, Old Wang nodded eagerly, "Okay, I'll help out..."

Previously, Lao Wang drove almost every day and dared not touch a drop of alcohol.

Now that he's with a new employer and a drunkard like Du Guanglong is keeping him company, his cravings are getting restless.

After a few rounds of drinks, Old Wang vomited up everything that Du Guanglong wanted to know.

...

Fengcheng University is located halfway up a mountain, with beautiful and pleasant scenery.

Fan Huijun sighed with a mixture of admiration and envy. Liang's mother's vanity was greatly satisfied, and her complexion became much rosier than before.

After passing through the campus and exiting through the other gate, rows of tall buildings came into view.

"This neighborhood looks close to the school, Xiaoyue. If you live here, you can have Mom's cooking in just five minutes after school!"

"That side is nice too, the view is great, you can see the whole school from the balcony..."

She kept talking non-stop, and no one could get a word in edgewise.

The car drove on, passing through bustling streets, and then arrived at a dilapidated place.

Separated by only one road, it felt like we were in two different worlds.

In this area, there are no bright lights, no luxury cars or beautiful women, only elderly people coming and going, and live-in nannies with stiff expressions.

"Ugh, I'm not used to living here!"

Liang's mother nudged Liang Shiyue with her elbow, cupped her hands to her mouth, and complained softly.

"Lu Yi, this... is this the house we're looking at?"

Looking out the car window at the dense trees and the somewhat deserted alley, Liang Shiyue felt uneasy.

This place is quiet, but isn't it a little too quiet?

Lu Yi and Fan Huijun exchanged a glance; they had both expected this to happen.

"Don't rush, we're not there yet. This is a sanatorium of a large company, and the people living here aren't ordinary; most of them are company executives!"
