Lu An'an thought for a moment, then replied uncertainly, "He knows me, has a grudge against me, and is he a pervert?"

Grandma Lu: ...My dear granddaughter's summary is so concise and to the point.

Grandpa Lu chuckled and asked gently, "When did An'an find out about this person?"

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an told her grandparents everything that had happened after she returned home.

As they listened to those experiences, the expressions of Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu gradually changed from calm to solemn, and then to an undisguised look of astonishment.

Many things have changed drastically from before. How did this happen?

After Lu An'an finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

A deep light flashed in Madam Lu's eyes, and a loving smile appeared on her lips. "From what An'an said, it seems that you, your parents, and your brothers avoided a lot of danger in advance."

Lu An'an's heart trembled slightly, but she quickly concealed her secret with a shy smile.

[Well... after all, I have an omniscient perspective and know the plot of the novel. Although the plot is currently a complete mess, at least I can still grasp the general direction.]

A flicker of understanding crossed Old Master Lu's eyes, and he narrowed them slightly. So that's how it is. He directly gave An'an a copy of the novel?

However, the fact that his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren could unconditionally believe in him, follow An'an to avoid those disasters, and discover Lu Yanhua and Lu Rongyu's problems so early suggests that they could all hear An'an's true feelings.

A fine line appeared between his brows. He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. This matter was of great importance. It seemed he had to go home immediately and listen carefully to the details before making any plans.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Lu looked at the grandfather and granddaughter leaning on each other beside him and said in a steady tone, "Now that An'an has been found and I have woken up, why don't we go home sooner?"

At this moment, Madam Lu was also pondering her thoughts. Upon hearing her husband's words, their years of tacit understanding made her instantly realize what he meant, and she nodded in agreement: "Yes, after all these years, it's time for us to go back and tear Lu Yanhua and her ilk apart."

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an suddenly realized what was happening, slapped her forehead, and exclaimed in annoyance, "Oh no! I've been out of the fire for so long and I forgot to let my brothers know I'm safe!"

She turned her head anxiously and asked, "Do Grandpa and Grandma have any communication devices? I want to call my brothers."

[I haven't been around for so long, are my brothers thinking I've been burned to ashes?]

"It's over there, I'll go get it for you."

Madam Lu got up and went out, took her phone from another room, and handed it to Lu An'an.

"Thank you, Grandma."

Lu An'an took the phone and was about to dial a familiar number when she suddenly stopped. She changed her mind and decided to send a text message instead.

【We don't know the situation over there yet, and calling could easily expose me. I'll compose a text message and send it to remind you to be careful not to get your phone hacked.】

She thought for a moment, edited the text message, and sent it.

Staring at the distinctive text on the screen, Lu An'an's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, and she felt secretly pleased with herself.

[Excellent, very much my style! I guarantee you'll recognize me immediately, brother. With my talent, truly no one can match me!]

Nearby, Old Madam Lu and Old Master Lu were intrigued by Lu An'an's post and crowded around to see what she had said.

Seeing this, Lu An'an smiled slyly and generously handed her phone to the two elders, expecting their praise.

[My grandparents will definitely be impressed by my talent when they see this text message. I'm ready, let the praise come even more enthusiastically!]

Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu stared at their phones with great curiosity. When the text message appeared on their screens, the two elders were first taken aback, then their lips twitched slightly in unison. They exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with nostalgia and relief. They never expected that after so long, they would finally see their bright, obedient, and adorable granddaughter again.

Grandpa Lu looked at Lu An'an and smiled with doting affection: "Oh my, our An'an is so clever! This text message not only cleverly let your older brother see through your identity, but also conveyed all the important information perfectly. Whose granddaughter is this smart and good-natured?"

Old Madam Lu smiled gently and replied, "So you're from our Lu family!"

Lu An'an's smile grew brighter and brighter with the praise from her grandparents: "No, not at all! It's not that good. Grandpa and Grandma are just flattering me too much!"

[Hehe, if you like it, say more, hehehehehehe...]

Madam Lu: "..."

Old Master Lu: "..."

My dear granddaughter is really saying one thing and meaning another.

Lu An'an laughed for a while, then her eyes suddenly flashed as she turned to Old Madam Lu and asked curiously, "Grandma, how did you know there was a fire at the ancestral hall?"

Madam Lu was slightly taken aback, then pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and explained casually, "I didn't know it was the ancestral hall in Yunling Village that caught fire. I just saw flames and smoke over there and went over to see what was going on."

Following the old lady's finger, Lu An'an could see in the distance that the ancestral hall, after the fire had been extinguished, still faintly shrouded in smoke.

She nodded knowingly, thinking to herself.

[The Chinese have such an incurable gossipy nature! I thought Grandma went to find me because she knew about the plot where my older brother would be burned.]

Madam Lu raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose, changing the subject: "Since you said you wanted to go home as soon as possible, let's not delay. Let's pack up and set off as soon as possible."

Lu An'an nodded. "Okay."

*

Ancestral hall.

Fu Zhiyan and the others, who had been watching the side entrance and waiting for Lu An'an in front of the ruins for several hours, grew increasingly grim and heavy-hearted with each passing hour.

Fu Zhiyan stared darkly at the side door, an indescribable chill emanating from him, as if it could freeze a person to death: "Why hasn't An'an come back yet?"

Lu Wenjing stood to one side, his face tense, his lips pressed into a straight line, trying hard to suppress his inner panic and unease. "Wait a little longer, the side road might be too far."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his cell phone inside his clothes suddenly emitted a crisp notification sound.

Lu Wenjing's gaze froze for a moment. He quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket, and the screen lit up with a message from an unknown number.

He carefully read the message several times, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, the weight in his heart lifted, and a smile that was both doting and slightly helpless appeared in his eyes.

It's good that my sister is alright.

He then suppressed his smile and dialed Lu Yubai's number: "Hey, monitor my phone and see if anyone has hacked in."

Lu Yanli, who was standing to the side, witnessed a series of subtle changes in Lu Wenjing's emotions. He could no longer suppress his anxiety and asked urgently, "Is it your sister?"

Fu Zhiyan was also standing to the side, his eyes fixed on Lu Wenjing, hoping for his approval.

Lu Wenjing nodded slightly, a smile in his eyes, and showed the text message to the two of them. "Yes, it's a text message from my sister. Take a look."
