The group walked along the gravel path to the villa next door.
I knocked gently on the door and it was Zhou Siyu who opened it.
Lu Xici: "Would it be convenient for us to chat?"
Zhou Siyu's tall figure blocked the door, his outline clearly visible in the backlight: "It's convenient."
The boy silently stepped aside to make way for her: "Mom, my brothers and sisters are here."
Gu Wan looked up at the boy who was much taller than her: "How old are you?"
Zhou Siyu: "Sister, I'm fifteen."
Lu Beiye looked up at him, and a storm surged in his heart: [At the age of fifteen, he is taller than my brother! In my previous life, when I was ten years old, I didn’t even reach his chest.]
He subconsciously gestured at the height difference between them, and his face turned red with anger.
Lu Nange held back his laughter and rubbed his brother's head.
"Aye." Lu Xici bent down and picked up Lu Beiye, lowering his voice: "Men in our Lu family are all accumulated a lot. Before I was sixteen, I was shorter than other boys of the same age. Later, I grew to 1.87 meters in one year. Don't worry."
Lu Beiye looked up doubtfully and met Lu Xici's smiling eyes.
"Really." Lu Xici rubbed his head: "You will definitely be taller than your brother in the future."
The little guy uttered a muffled "hmm".
The macaw perched on Lu Nange's shoulder suddenly flapped its wings: "Gaga ga! Ah Ye... Ten meters!"
[Don't be sad, Aye, you will be ten meters taller in the future!]
Everyone who had already walked into the living room turned around in unison.
Lu Beiye reached out from Lu Xici's shoulder, grabbed Gangzi and pinched its mouth.
He Zhuo raised his eyebrows and turned back: "Brother Gang, what do you mean by ten meters?"
Lu Xici: "What do you mean by ten meters? Gangzi is just imitating the words and splitting them."
Gu Qi looked at Lu Beiye, whose face was red, and grabbed He Zhuo by the back of his collar: "Shut up!"
Pei Qique slowly stood up with the help of the sofa, and Cang Qie had a gentle smile on his face: "Please take a seat."
Wen Qing: "Excuse me, Ms. Pei."
"Look at me, I even forgot to ask you guys' names."
Everyone gave their names one by one.
The macaw saw that everyone had called out their names, so it quickly broke free from Lu Beiye's grip, held its head high and cried out, "Gangzi!"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little more relaxed.
Pei Qique covered her lips and chuckled: "You kids are only a few years older than Ayu. If you don't mind, just call me Aunt Que."
"Auntie Que." Everyone said in unison.
Pei Qique gathered his shawl and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Lu Nange noticed the faint blue needle marks on the inside of her wrist and lowered his voice: "Aunt Que, can you tell us about Zhou Muyun's death?"
Pei Qique's eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow on Cang Qi's face: "Zhou Muyun..."
Her voice was so elusive that it seemed like it would disappear into the air at any moment.
Zhou Siyu patted his father's back gently.
Pei Qique took a deep breath: "What do you want to ask?"
Lu Nange's mental power extended in the air like a thread, but he could not sense the malice of Pei Qique and Zhou Siyu.
She asked straight to the point: "Auntie Que, how much do you know about psychotropic toxins and mutant plants?"
Pei Qique: "Actually, I'm not particularly sure either."
She lowered her eyes to somewhere in the void: "Over the years, I have not been able to sleep well. Every night I have to drink a glass of Zhou Muyun's warm milk before I can fall asleep.
That night he had to go out urgently...
After he left, I really had no appetite, so I asked the servant to take the glass of milk away.
I was awakened in the middle of the night by the noise coming from the study. When I approached, I heard them discussing the use of living people to feed the mutated plants in the center of the city.
I turned around and wanted to leave, but... I accidentally kicked the corner of the wall and was discovered by Zhou Muyun and his men.
The next second, my back slammed against the wall and his fingers were around my throat like an iron vice.
