"So what? I ate something bad today and my stomach hurts, so I can't go?" Li Anran said matter-of-factly.
If someone wants to go to the restroom, the bodyguards really can't stop them.
“That’s not what we meant, Miss Li, please make yourself at home.” The two bodyguards made way for Li Anran.
After Li Anran went inside, they waited outside, reflecting on all of Li Anran's actions since she left home that day.
Don't you think Miss Li seems a little strange today?
But they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange about it.
"Let's wait until we get back to report to the young master. If we can't find any clues, the young master will definitely see them at a glance."
"That's true."
Li Anran had temporarily gotten rid of the two bodyguards, but the only way to get to the restroom was through the door she had just seen; the other door was locked, so she couldn't get through.
Just as she was getting anxious, the door suddenly opened, and a cleaning lady came in from outside.
After putting down what she was holding, she closed the iron gate again, but did not lock it.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Anran quickly opened the iron gate and headed towards the agreed-upon location on the fifth floor of the mall.
Li Anran went to the fifth floor and found the person she had arranged to meet. The man looked somewhat displeased when he saw her rushing over.
"You're so late?"
Li Anran quickly explained, "Those two bodyguards were following me the whole time, so I made up an excuse to come out."
"By the way, what's the matter that you called me out in such a hurry?" She was still angry.
The man glanced at her disdainfully. "The boss asked me to ask you when it's time to finalize the matter of joining the Lu family."
If it weren't for the boss urging her several times, and Li Anran not giving them a definite time, they wouldn't have risked meeting her.
Their recent frequent actions have already attracted the attention of some people.
The boss said they need to keep a low profile.
"Lu Shen has agreed to the engagement, but the wedding date hasn't been set yet." It wasn't easy to get Lu Shen to agree.
If she hadn't been frequently visiting the Lu family lately and subtly hinting at things to the old lady, the old lady wouldn't have pressured Lu Shen to agree.
"It's good that there's progress. We need to hurry up with the engagement. If we fail again this time, you should know what will happen," the man threatened Li Anran.
Li Anran trembled and hurriedly nodded, saying, "I, I know."
"But what deep-seated hatred does the boss have with the Lu family? Why is he in such a hurry to have me infiltrate the Lu family?"
Spending more time with this group of people, she gradually sensed the eldest brother's resentment towards the Lu family, and this resentment was not ordinary.
The man grabbed Li Anran's wrist and pulled her to his side, threatening her in a low voice.
"Who are you to comment on the boss's affairs?"
Not to mention Li Anran's confusion, even they, as his underlings, were unclear about it.
Although they had been following their boss for quite some time, they knew nothing about his past and dared not ask.
"There was once a clueless guy who wanted to know about the boss's affairs. Do you know what happened to him after the boss found out?"
When the boss punished that person last time, all the underlings were present.
"They used a whip soaked in chili sauce to beat him, one lash after another, until he was beaten to death."
Li Anran felt a chill run down her spine as she listened, as if she could already see the bloody scene from that time.
"If you really want to know, you can ask the boss yourself and see what answer he gives you."
"Maybe it will be different from the previous person."
Li Anran tried to back away, but the man held her tightly, his wrists already turning red.
"I will never ask again."
Fearing the man would complain to the boss, Li Anran softened her body and leaned against him as if boneless, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers.
"Big brother, have pity on me, please don't tell anyone about what I asked the boss today."
"I will repay you properly."
The man shoved Li Anran away in disgust, saying, "Get away from me. You want to throw yourself at me? I think you're disgusting."
"Do exactly as the boss says."
The two bodyguards waited outside the restroom for a long time, but Li Anran did not come out.
"Won't something happen after such a long time?"
"Could it have escaped?"
However, upon further reflection, they realized that Li Anran seemed to have no reason to run away. Their young master had already agreed to the engagement, so why would she give up the position of the young mistress of the Lu family?
They were scrolling through their phones out of boredom when they saw that Jian Ruoxi had posted a Weibo post.
"The young mistress just posted a Weibo announcement saying she'll be doing a live stream tonight."
"Quickly inform the brothers to stake out the young mistress's live stream tonight."
The man on the fifth floor looked down and saw two bodyguards scrolling on their phones.
These are Lu Shen's bodyguards? The kind of force the boss is most afraid of?
He didn't think much of the two men, and he wondered what the boss was wary of.
"Alright, you should go back now. Remember not to let them notice anything." The man urged Li Anran to leave.
Li Anran retraced her steps, walked out of the corridor, and came to stand behind the two bodyguards.
"I don't have anything left to see, let's go back first."
The two bodyguards were somewhat surprised to see Li Anran ask to go back.
I remember hearing from the Lu family's servants that Li Anran always came back from the mall with lots of bags and packages; she never came empty-handed.
She wouldn't feel bad as long as it wasn't her money that was being spent.
Why are you being so kind today? You're not buying anything.
"Ms. Li, are you sure you don't want to continue shopping?"
"I'm not going." She came out this time to see the boss's people, and besides, with these two bodyguards with her, she can't buy anything she wants.
After sending Li Anran back to her residence, one of the bodyguards immediately reported to Lu Shen.
"Young Master, Li Anran went out today and went shopping at the mall."
Ever since the young master inquired about Li Anran's whereabouts, they have been reporting to him periodically.
"Is something wrong?" Shopping at the mall isn't anything important, it's not worth making a big deal out of it.
The bodyguard told Lu Shen about Li Anran's disappearance, even specifying the exact time of her disappearance.
"Okay, keep an eye on it."
What did Li Anran do during the time she disappeared?
After the report was finished, the bodyguard's task was complete. Lu Shen noticed that he hadn't hung up the phone for a while and was a little puzzled.
"Is there anything else?"
After hesitating for a moment, the bodyguard still felt it was necessary to let the young master know about this.
"Young Master, we heard that the Young Madam is going to do a live stream tonight, and she'll be doing it with Su Ziyu. The announcement was just released this afternoon."
There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time, and the bodyguard waited for the young master's next instructions.
Whether it's having them tie up Su Ziyu or cutting off his internet connection, they're good at it.
After waiting and waiting, all he got was a casual remark from the young master: "Okay, I understand. You guys keep an eye on Li Anran."
