Lu An'an: "..."

[Are you kidding me? I've worked so hard all this time, and all I get is a code name? No real name?]

Undeterred, she pressed on, "What's Number One's name?"

Lu Rongyu frowned: "Sir doesn't have a name, he's just called Number One, and he's a doctor."

Lu An'an closed her eyes, feeling suffocated, and asked again, unwilling to give up, "Who is Pei Sheng?"

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had caught some crucial clue.

She looked directly at Lu Rongyu, her tone urgent: "Wait, you said Number One is a doctor?"

Lu Rongyu nodded: "Sir is a very capable doctor."

These words stirred ripples in Lu An'an's heart. She frowned and pondered to herself.

Therefore, this Doctor Number One is most likely the mysterious hypnotist working for Pei Sheng.

She hesitated for a moment, then repeated her question: "Is Pei Sheng the master?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Lu Rongyu's eyes: "Pei Sheng? Who is that?"

Lu An'an's gaze was sharp, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. "When the master looks for you, won't you show yourselves?"

Lu Rongyu shook her head: "Those who come to me are all gentlemen; I have never met my master."

Lu An'an was speechless. She leaned back slowly and said irritably, "You're done? Come in and arrest them."

[I'm not saying this to be mean, but I just can't stand seeing someone as cautious as a bad guy delegate such an important task entirely to subordinates. Is that right? Not checking it yourself, is that right? It's all for nothing!]

Qi Rang led the group into the ward. Just as he was about to speak, Lu An'an pointed her index finger at Lu Rongyu with a "shh" sound and whispered, "Cuff her first."

Qi Rang gave an "OK" sign, then signaled the police officer next to him to quietly approach and handcuff Lu Rongyu.

Lu An'an then leisurely adjusted her posture, adopting the sitting posture of a big boss, and snapped her fingers.

"Lu Rongyu! Wake up!"

Lu Rongyu's eyes gradually focused, and when she clearly saw the many people who had suddenly appeared in the ward, she was taken aback. "Where did they come from?"

She instinctively raised her hand, but at that moment, her gaze inadvertently fell on the cold handcuffs on her wrists. Instantly, her pupils contracted, and the color drained from her face, replaced by undisguised panic and terror: "Why did you arrest me?! Why are you handcuffed?!"

Qi Rang silently took the phone, opened the surveillance footage, and played it for Lu Rongyu.

As the video progressed, Lu Rongyu's face grew increasingly pale: "How could this be..."

She murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief, as she witnessed herself uttering words she shouldn't have said on camera, "How could I say such a thing... It was you!"

Suddenly, she looked up, her eyes bloodshot, her voice sharp with anger: "Lu An'an! What have you done to me!"

Lu An'an's lips curled into a playful smile, her eyes gleaming with cunning: "Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?"

She shrugged. "It's nothing. I just happen to know a little about hypnosis. Since you're unwilling to be honest, I'll have to resort to some extreme measures."

Lu Rongyu struggled fiercely, her voice filled with resentment: "This is all fake! You can't arrest me!"

Lu An'an stood up, too lazy to continue arguing with Lu Rongyu, and walked out casually.

"Oh, go to prison and tell me all about it."

Lu Wenjing stood to the side, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Lu Rongyu's face, which was contorted with anger. His tone was as relaxed as if he were talking about going to buy groceries: "Captain Qi, remember to arrange a job for her in prison, such as tending a fire. I think she's very good at it."

Qi Rang replied speechlessly, "That's enough, hurry back, we'll take her back to the station and handle things according to the rules."

Lu Wenjing glanced at Lu Rongyu, who was still shouting, and finally left the ward expressionlessly.

After the five siblings left the hospital, Lu Wenjing asked Lu An'an in a deep voice, "An'an, what do you think of that Number One?"

Lu An'an pinched her chin, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "I think the assistant next to Pei Sheng in the banquet hall looks a lot like Number One. Even if he is not Number One, he must be an important figure next to Pei Sheng."

Lu Yanli agreed: "Indeed, compared to that fake Pei Sheng, he seems more like someone who came to supervise the fake Pei Sheng. But An'an, if the real Pei Sheng is the master, why would he have a grudge against our Lu family?"

Lu An'an was about to say something when she suddenly realized something. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Huh? How do you know Pei Sheng is the master?"

Upon hearing this, all four of them changed their expressions slightly, and their hearts tightened suddenly.

Oh no! How am I supposed to explain this to my sister in a reasonable way?!

Lu An'an's gaze shifted between her silent brothers, muttering to herself.

[I don't recall ever saying I suspected Pei Sheng was an imposter, or that the real Pei Sheng was the master, right? How did my brothers know?]

Lu Wenjing's body tensed, his mind racing. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he explained, "It's like this. When that assistant left the banquet hall, he deliberately smiled at you, as if it was intentional. I felt something was off then. Later, when I saw the surveillance footage of you asking Lu Rongyu, I guessed that Pei Sheng might be a fake. So I told your second brother and the others what I thought."

Lu An'an still had some doubts. "Is that so?"

Lu Yanli and the other two nodded rapidly: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what Big Brother said."

Lu An'an looked away suspiciously.

Hmm... I hope my brother and his friends aren't hiding something from me?
