Chapter 62
When she heard the phone ring, her first reaction was to hang up, but when she picked it up and saw it was Lu Anyu, did he have something else to do? So she answered the phone with confusion: "Hello."
"Ms. Lin, I forgot something in my car. Can you deliver it to me now?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruo frowned and thought, things? What did she have? She couldn't quite remember.
"This bag should be too." He handed the backpack over. Lin Ruo took it with a confused look on her face. To be honest, she had forgotten to bring this bag with her. She didn't expect him to remember and even return it to her.
But before she could say thank you, Lu Anyu took a step forward and pointed upstairs: "Aren't you going to invite me upstairs?"
“???” After he said that, Lin Ruo was stunned and didn’t know how to respond.
"It's not me, it's Zhaozhao. She wants to go up and take a look." Lu Anyu seemed to see that she didn't know how to answer, so he changed the subject.
"Zhao Zhao, where is she?" Lin Ruo looked behind him, looking for the child.
"She, she is in the car. If she agrees, I will let her get out." He touched his head embarrassedly.
"Then, let her come over." In fact, there is really no way to refuse the child.
"Okay, wait for me." Seeing her agree, Lu Anyu's eyes were full of excitement, and he immediately turned around to call Lu Zhaozhao.
Although she felt that something was wrong with him, Lin Ruo didn't think much about it and continued to wait. After a while, Lu Anyu brought Zhao Zhao over. The little girl was very excited to see her and ran over quickly: "Sister~"
She was very happy. She stood in front of her, grabbed her hand and shook it gently: "Long time no see." Even though they had just met yesterday.
Lin Ruo smiled and patted her head: "Let's go, go sit at home."
"Yeah." She nodded happily, then turned around and called to Lu Anyu next to her: "Brother, let's go upstairs."
"Okay." He followed immediately.
Seeing that both of them seemed eager to go upstairs, Lin Ruo didn't say anything and led everyone upstairs. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Qin Yu and Meng Mian, who had already gone upstairs, standing there with their suitcases.
"What is this?" She was a little confused.
"I forgot to bring my keys." Qin Yu pursed his lips and glared at Meng Mian beside him.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't have the key." Meng Mian rolled his eyes at him.
The two of them started again. Lin Ruo sighed helplessly, took out the key from her pocket and lowered her head to open the door. Meng Mian and Qin Yu walked in. She turned to look at Lu Anyu and Lu Zhaozhao and said, "Come in."
The two of them nodded and followed in. Lin Ruo led them to the sofa: "Come, sit down, I'll pour some water." She turned around to find drinks for them.
Lu Anyu looked around and then set his sights on Lin Ruo who was pouring water. She had her back to him, and when she turned around, she turned her head to the side. Lu Zhaozhao beside her stared at her seriously, feeling something was wrong, and leaned close to him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
He shook his head and responded, "It's okay."
"Come, drink some water." Lin Ruo poured the water and put it on the table. He turned his head and looked around, not knowing where he should sit.
Lu Anyu seemed to understand what she meant, so he stood up from the sofa and pointed behind him: "How about..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Ruo had already moved a stool and sat down, so he had no choice but to slowly sit down. The three of them sat there looking at each other, no one speaking, feeling inexplicably awkward.
Finally, Lu Anyu was the first to speak: "The investigation into the trafficking of women has begun, and the results will probably be out in a few days."
"How is it? Will it succeed?" Meng Mian, who had originally gone to stay in the room, heard the conversation and immediately came over to ask. It was obvious that he must be thinking about this matter.
Lu Anyu pursed his lips and replied, "The chances of success are very high, because it involves another matter."
"What's the matter?" Lin Ruo asked.
"Actually, the trafficking of women has existed in this area for a long time, and no one's doing anything about it. Then, eight or nine years after being sold here, a woman killed everyone in her family except her son, then committed suicide. This caused a sensation, and many people came to investigate the case, but the child disappeared, and the case was left unsolved. But the Xiaohua incident bears some similarities to the previous one, and with both cases exposed, we have to investigate. If we do, the trafficking behind it will inevitably be exposed to the public."
He spoke very seriously, and she listened quietly. If it was just one incident, she might not investigate, but with two similar incidents happening here, she probably had to investigate. As he said, if they were to investigate, it wouldn't be a simple investigation.
As she was thinking, she turned her head to look to the side and happened to meet Meng Mian's eyes. At this moment, she suddenly had a bold idea. Could the little boy from that year be him?
The more I think about it, the more I feel like it was him. He said he had evidence to submit but no one knew what it was. When Lu Anyu talked about this, he acted very calmly.
Plus, he helped save people and was very concerned about this kind of thing, so the little boy must be him.
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not ask him. Instead, she sat there and listened carefully to Lu Anyu's story. After he stopped, she nodded: "It seems so. I hope it can be thoroughly investigated."
"I hope so." He nodded. Coincidentally, at this moment, his cell phone rang, and he stood up and walked to the side to answer it.
Since he wasn't there, Lin Ruo looked at Lu Zhaozhao and asked, "How was your sleep? Did you wake up in the middle of the night?"
Since she asked this, it meant she knew Zhao Zhao would definitely do so, so she wasn't surprised to see her nod. She stood up and walked towards the room: "Wait a moment."
She returned to her room and rummaged through her belongings. There was nothing inside. After a moment's thought, she opened the bracelet on her right hand and rummaged through it, pulling out a necklace. This necklace had been with her for a long time, taking her to many places. It absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its effect was greater than any other. She gave it to Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then took it, pursed her lips and whispered thanks: "Thank you, sister."
"Do you like this? Are you interested in doing this together?" She was thinking that she was going to drag her into the group. If Zhao Zhao agreed, then she would try to make some today. Tomorrow, she would go back to Linjia Mountain and absorb some spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
"I..." She pursed her lips and hesitated, then lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"It's okay, we can try it, how about it?" she asked with her head tilted.
"Okay." She bit her lip and finally nodded.
At this time, Lu Anyu came back after finishing his call. Lin Ruo looked up at him and said, "I'll take Zhao Zhao to my room for a while. You sit here first."
"I have something to do at the company, so how about leaving Zhaozhao here and I'll come pick her up later?" Lu Anyu clenched his phone.
"Yeah." He looked anxious, and the moment Lin Ruo nodded in agreement, he turned around and left quickly.
"Zhao Zhao and I are going to do some handicrafts. You guys can play outside for a while." After saying a few words to the two of them, Lin Ruo took Lu Zhaozhao into his room.
She actually had some materials for making bracelets, so she took them out and handed them to Zhao Zhao: "Try it?"
"Okay, I'll try." She took it, bit her lips, walked to the side, and started to act.
She really liked these and sat there stringing them very seriously. Lin Ruo also sat down and did it together.
"Sister, what do you think of this?" Not long after, she strung a string together and handed it to her to see.
"Not bad, not bad. It looks really good." As expected, she is clever and skillful, and she did a pretty good job.
"Then I'll continue stringing?" She was still a little unconfident.
"Okay, that's really good." With her encouragement, Zhao Zhao continued to string the bracelets.
The two were working on their crafts in the house, while Meng Mian and Qin Yu stayed outside. Qin Yu heard what Lu Anyu had just said, and he leaned over to Meng Mian and asked, "That little boy Lu Anyu just mentioned is you, right?"
Meng Mian didn't reply to him, but just glanced at him lightly. Qin Yu wanted to ask more, but he didn't give him a chance at all and turned away.
Lin Ruo happened to bump into him as he was coming out of the bracelet stringing shop. He was slightly startled and stood there a little awkwardly. Seeing him like this, Lin Ruo was a little confused. What was going on? Was there something wrong?
Before she could ask, he spoke first: "I, I'm just walking around. Is there anything you need me for?"
"Ah? No." She immediately shook her head. Then the two of them fell into silence again. Qin Yu walked over from a distance, stood beside Lin Ruo, and asked with his head tilted, "What are you two talking about?"
"Nothing to talk about." Meng Mian rolled his eyes at him, then turned and left.
"Tsk, if there's nothing to talk about then there's nothing to talk about."
Qin Yu stared at his back and complained, then moved closer to Lin Ruo and asked, "What are you two talking about?" He was really gossipy.
"There's really nothing to talk about." She turned and left, leaving him alone standing there. He rubbed his head and thought, but when he couldn't think of anything, he followed her.
I found that she was going back to her room, so I stopped at the door, raised my hand and knocked on the door and asked softly: "Excuse me, may I come in?" She was quite polite.
"Come in." After receiving the reply, he walked in with a smile on his face, stood beside the two of them, stared at the beads in their hands, and began to exclaim how beautiful they were.
Hearing his praise, Lin Ruo nudged Lu Zhaozhao's arm and said, "Look, he also said it looks good, which means it's really well made."
"Yeah." She was really happy to get the affirmation, and lowered her head to continue doing it.
The two of them made a few skewers here. Lin Ruo looked and found that an hour had passed. It turned out that time really flies when you do what you like.
"Take a break and go out for a walk." Zhao Zhao was still concentrating on stringing beads, and she patted her shoulder.
"I think..." She stared at the beads and hesitated for a moment, then nodded, put down the things in her hands, stood up and walked out with her.
At this moment, Meng Mian opened the door for Lu Anyu. He walked in and looked at everyone: "It's getting late, let's go out for something to eat."
Probably because he was afraid that everyone would refuse, he added, "I've already booked a place."
