As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.
Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...
"What are you all doing? Open the door!"
Huo Jingxi has a short temper and just wants to see if Du Guanglong is inside.
The staff were startled by his one-eyed appearance, but after a quick glance, they responded and stepped forward.
"Wait a moment!"
The moment the key in his hand touched the door lock, Lu Yi spoke up to stop him.
They squeezed to the front and began examining the area around the keyhole.
"Something... has happened?"
Huo Jingxi is not afraid of violence, but he is inevitably a bit rough around the edges.
Lu Yi nodded, "There are scratches, so someone must have gone in. As for whether anyone was inside, well..."
He subconsciously turned around, and Gu Huainan understood.
He pulled Lu Baoyun behind him and said to Lu Baofei, "Second Miss Lu, why don't you come over here?"
Huo Jingxi's expression hardened, and he pushed the property staff toward Lu Baofei.
"Get out of the way!"
He raised his hand, lifted the hem of his shirt, and pressed it to his waist. Suddenly, he remembered something and coughed to cover up his outrageous action.
"Give me the key!"
Lu Yi pressed his ear against the door, listened to the sounds inside, took the key, and opened the door.
There was no dust on the lintel, but the mottled footprints on the ground were clearly visible.
The bare room was sparsely furnished. Behind the door lay a gray carpet that had been picked up from somewhere, with signs that someone had slept on it.
"Don't come in!"
Lu Yi felt a jolt, as if the thing he least wanted to see had already happened.
Huo Jingxi strode over, grabbed the carpet and tossed it aside, his face dark as he said, "Big brother is really..."
A crumpled piece of paper fell out of the carpet and floated down.
It landed right at Lu Yi's feet.
"All is well, do not seek me out?"
He picked it up, and it felt as if a thousand pounds were weighing on his fingertips.
"Big brother is really a prophet! He guessed we could find this place. Ugh... I really want to punch him!"
Huo Jingxi punched the wall, sending dust billowing up.
Lu Baofei boldly went inside and took a look around. Seeing that there were no traces left in the rooms upstairs, she frowned.
"Why don't we call the police?"
Lu Yi looked up at her. "Are you crazy? Are you afraid those people won't have a reason to hunt them down?"
Lu Baoyun said in a muffled voice, "Second sister, listen to Yi'er, he would never harm third sister..."
The reason I won't harm Lu Baoqi is because Lu Baoqi is with Du Guanglong.
Everyone was preoccupied. Two property management staff stayed behind, while the others went back to report the situation with trepidation.
"What should we do then..."
We can't find it, but we're worried if we don't look for it. We can't just pretend nothing happened!
Huo Jingxi sighed and clicked his tongue repeatedly.
"So, you lot are plotting here again, trying to harm my Han'er, aren't you?"
"Just because he's my son, he dared to lay a hand on my Han'er! Tell me, what did you do to him?!"
Qin Fengying, as if fighting for her life, rushed towards Lu Yi with her hair disheveled.
He shoved the unsuspecting Gu Huainan aside, raised his hand, and slapped Lu Yi straight at him.
Snap!
The applause was crisp and clear in the empty living room.
Lu Baoyun covered her cheek, her voice trembling with tears, "Mom, he's courting death, even plotting against our Lu family, won't you wake up?"
Aunt Wu and Butler Xu caught up, panting, and when they saw the scene, they quickly explained.
"Madam insisted on coming. Before Old Xu could even park the car, she ran off. We couldn't catch her... Fourth Miss, are you alright?"
Wu Ma tried to pull Qin Fengying away, but Qin Fengying shook her off balance and made her stumble.
Qin Fengying suddenly pulled out a dagger, laughing and crying at the same time.
"You're all traitors! You're all traitors who betrayed the Lu family! Hahaha, today I'm going to clean house..."
