Du Guanglong saw Lu Yi to the door and let out a long sigh.

"I never dreamed that you would be the one to finally persuade this stubborn old man, Mr. Huo!"

"Tell me, how did you convince him to accept the second child back?"

Lu Yi lowered his head slightly.

"I was just using myself as an example."

Du Guanglong was speechless.

After staring at him for a while, she patted him on the shoulder.

"From now on, wherever my second brother and I are, that's your home. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on you, I'll cripple them!"

Lu Yi smiled; he had long since let it go!

Family members aren't won over through reasoning. Instead of racking your brains to gain a sense of belonging in front of those people, you'd be better off focusing on doing what you want to do.

Seeing the childlike innocence in his smile, Du Guanglong laughed and said, "With the Fan family backing you, the Gu family wouldn't dare to cheat you!"

"I've placed some of my own people in the shop for you. After you return to Jiangzhou, focus on your studies. If anything happens, Dongzi and the others will contact me!"

He consciously put himself in Lu Gengsheng's shoes, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Lu Yi nodded and got into the car.

Du Guanglong waved his hand, staring at the direction the car had gone for a long time.

"Du Guanglong!"

Just as he was about to turn around, a clear voice suddenly came from the corner of the wall.

Who's calling me?

Du Guanglong looked around and saw no one. He assumed that he was hallucinating because he had been working non-stop for the past few days and was not getting enough sleep.

Shaking his head, he continued walking forward.

"Du Guanglong, I'm calling you!"

The voice sounds somewhat familiar.

Du Guanglong stopped and searched his memory.

But after a long time, I still couldn't find the match.

He didn't know many women, and even fewer left a deep impression on him.

You really can't find many people who are so mischievous as to call him by his full name.

"Want a drink? It's on me!"

After the woman finished speaking with a giggle, she came up behind Du Guanglong and suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

The pleasant fragrance finally awakened his dormant brain cells.

"Miss Lu?"

What are you doing here?!

The glamorous woman in front of me is Lu Baoqi.

Du Guanglong found it hard to believe.

Then it dawned on me.

"Lu Yi just left, you can still find him..."

This neurotic female celebrity looks delicate, but she's actually quite brainless.

He didn't want to have too much contact with them.

Because, based on the existing evidence, she is inextricably linked to Lu Gengsheng's death.

"I won't contact him. Even if I did, he wouldn't pay any attention to me. Why bother?"

Lu Baoqi put her hands behind her back, pouted, and looked in the direction Lu Yi had left with a resentful expression.

She only dared to come out after Lu Yi left.

Du Guanglong frowned, puzzled.

"Then what do you want with me?"

Huo Jingxi has just returned home; the Huo family is definitely about to make a big move.

He really didn't want to bring Lu Baoqi, this ticking time bomb, into the Huo family.

“You don’t need to be afraid that I’ll cling to you. I just happened to take on a role in a movie that’s in this area. I finished work late today, and when I saw Lu Yi, I followed him here.”

"Du Guanglong, I admit I have a tiny bit of a crush on you..."

Du Guanglong's lips twitched a few times.

He grabbed her arm and led her away from the Huo family's gate.

"Stop! Don't talk nonsense!"

“Miss Lu Baoqi, there is nothing between us, and I could never have any feelings for you.”

"Whether you're brain-dead or willingly cooperated with others to kill Lu Gengsheng, this matter is inextricably linked to you!"

“I am Lu Yi’s sworn brother, and I know better than anyone what side I should stand on.”

"If your purpose in approaching me is only to alleviate your own sins, I advise you not to waste your time!"

Du Guanglong is past the age of acting impulsively in love.

That way, you won't be misled by momentary tenderness.

But Lu Baoqi is different.

The beautiful love she longed for had only just begun.

Seeing Du Guanglong's direct refusal, she immediately broke down.

She bit her thin lips, her eyes reddened with grievance, and tears streamed down her face.

"How could you say that to me!"

"You think you're so great just because you're Lu Yi's older brother? Let me tell you, Lu Yi still doesn't have any evidence to prove that I did it!"

"I...I thought he was pitiful, so I helped him fulfill his filial duty to Uncle Lu. Who knew he would get into trouble!"

Waaaaah!

Lu Baoqi became increasingly angry as she spoke, and squatted on the ground, bursting into tears.

She finally convinced herself to stop avoiding things and face everything with a positive attitude.

Why is it so difficult?

The Huo family's servants were busy entertaining the third young master of the Huo family.

Hearing the woman crying, everyone dropped what they were doing and secretly ran over to see what was going on.

At this moment, Lu Baoqi suddenly stood up.

He pointed at Du Guanglong's nose and stomped his foot.

"Du Guanglong, do you want me to die and give my life to Old Man Lu?"

"Fine! Then I'll just die right here!"

Before she could finish speaking, she looked around and saw the huge pillar at the entrance of the Huo family's residence. She clenched her fists, frowned, and rushed towards it.

The servants all panicked.

Today is a joyous day for the Huo family; how can there be bloodshed at their doorstep!

One of the quick-witted ones urged the people behind him, "Go tell Butler Hua quickly...be fast!"

Du Guanglong never expected that Lu Baoqi would "fall ill" at this time and act so recklessly.

Shocked, he rushed over in one stride.

Lu Baoqi has filmed many scenes of "tragic death," and she knows very well that this level of impact is not fatal; its main purpose is to threaten and intimidate others.
