Suddenly, she stopped and pointed to a piece of wood not far away. "Look, there's something strange about that piece of wood. It seems to have been moved."
Lu Qing looked in the direction of her finger and found that the wooden board was indeed a little loose, obviously someone had left traces there.
The two looked at each other and continued to move forward in tacit understanding.
As they walked into the old workshop, a musty smell hit them in the face, and the wooden boards under their feet made a creaking sound, which was frightening.
"Someone!" Lu Qing suddenly shouted and pulled Shen Qiqi to the shadows on the side.
A vague figure was looming in the moonlight, moving back and forth cautiously inside the workshop with stealthy movements.
Shen Qiqi's heartbeat accelerated, but she quickly calmed down and quickly made a plan.
"Lu Qing, you surround him from the other side, and I will lure him out." She said softly, her tone full of confidence.
Lu Qing nodded, and the two of them quickly separated.
Shen Qiqi deliberately made some noises to attract the man's attention.
The mysterious man fell into the trap and quickly approached Shen Qiqi, but he didn't expect that Lu Qing had been lying in ambush on the side. He suddenly appeared and pushed him to the ground.
"Don't move!" Lu Qing shouted sternly, and quickly tied the mysterious man tightly with the rope in his hand.
Shen Qiqi rushed over and frowned as she looked at the bound person in front of her.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The mysterious man struggled to raise his head, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
"I am... I am from the village. My uncle and his wife threatened me to come here to work."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts gradually cleared up.
It turns out that the mastermind behind all this is my uncle’s wife!
Anger surged in Shen Qiqi's heart, but she did not lose her mind, instead she became more determined.
"Don't worry, we will help you solve this problem." Shen Qiqi said gently, her tone full of determination.
Mysterious Man
At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a chill. She looked back into the depths of the old workshop, as if something was spying on them in the dark.
She held Lu Qing's hand tightly and whispered, "We are not done yet, there is still a long scene tonight." Lu Qing hugged Shen Qiqi into his arms, tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.
"My Qiqi is really a little Zhuge Liang. You can even discover this. I love you so much!" His voice trembled slightly, with both the relief of surviving the disaster and the pride in Shen Qiqi's intelligence.
Shen Qiqi was a little breathless in his embrace, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and the smile on her face was as bright as the spring flowers in March.
She patted Lu Qing's back, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
"That's right. Don't you see who I am? I want to be the strongest brain in your Lu family!" She said coquettishly, with a hint of pride in her tone.
The faint moonlight shone through the dilapidated window onto the two of them, casting a soft halo on them.
The figures of the two hugging each other looked particularly warm in the dim workshop.
They knew that tonight's thrills were over, but greater challenges lay ahead.
Lu Qing let go of Shen Qiqi. He looked at Shen Qiqi with eyes full of tenderness and trust.
"Qiqi, thanks to you today, I really don't know how to thank you."
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Pay it with your flesh, Comrade Lu Qing!"
Hearing this, Lu Qing raised a wicked smile, his eyes flashing with a burning light, "I like this proposal."
The two smiled at each other, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air.
But soon, they both realized that now was not the time for any affectionate behavior.
Although there are new clues, more evidence is needed to completely expose the conspiracy of the eldest uncle's wife and the second uncle's family.
The road ahead is not destined to be smooth. Thinking of this, both of them frowned unconsciously.
"Let's go, this is not a place to stay for long." Shen Qiqi broke the silence. She knew that they had to race against time to bring those behind the scenes to justice.
Lu Qing nodded and took Shen Qiqi's hand. The two of them looked particularly determined under the moonlight.
They knew that although there were many difficulties ahead, as long as the two of them worked hand in hand, they would be able to overcome everything.
"Lu Qing, do you think they will do something desperate?" Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped.
Lu Qing smiled slightly and squeezed Shen Qiqi's hand, "What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. At worst, I will protect you!"
Shen Qiqi curled her lips. It was obviously her who protected him, okay?
However, she decided not to say this. After all, this man's self-esteem still needs to be maintained.
At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly grabbed Shen Qiqi's hand and pointed forward.
Shen Qiqi followed his gaze and saw a figure swaying in the darkness in the direction of the village entrance.
"Oh no, someone is coming..." Lu Qing said in a low voice.
