That evening, the Luo family manor, covering several thousand square meters, sounded a level-one alarm.
No one in the manor was allowed to sleep; they wouldn't rest until they found the missing Lu Zhiwei.
Luo Xiu sat in the monitoring room with a sullen face, his eyes searching for Lu Zhiwei's figure on the constantly flashing monitor screen.
The atmosphere in the entire monitoring room was extremely oppressive and somber, with all the security personnel on edge and their expressions tense.
Everyone in the manor knows that Miss Lu is the young master's beloved.
If someone is lost right under their noses, they're finished.
The surveillance footage showed it was from about an hour ago.
Luo Xiu saw a familiar figure walk out of the bedroom: "Stop, rewind this part by ten seconds."
The security personnel in the monitoring room immediately rewound the surveillance video he pointed out by ten seconds.
Sure enough, a woman in pajamas with disheveled hair came out of the bedroom and went into another room.
Luo Xiu immediately got up and left the monitoring room.
He knew that the Luo family manor had the world's top security system, with three additional defenses at the gate. How could Lu Zhiwei possibly leave the manor unless she grew wings and flew away?
With a bang, he kicked open Mizuki's room door.
Mizuki, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up.
Luo Xiu walked in quickly, his face dark.
On Ruixi's bed, Lu Zhiwei was fast asleep.
She was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, looking as serene as an angel.
"Uncle," Ruixi called out obediently, her face showing obvious fear and panic.
Luo Xiu didn't wake Lu Zhiwei. Instead, he grabbed Ruixi's hand and pulled him outside.
Upon entering the living room, Luo Xiu immediately ordered him, "Kneel down!"
With red-rimmed eyes, Mizuki bit her lip and was about to kneel down with a thud.
"Don't kneel!" Lu Zhiwei's cold, sharp voice came from the direction of the bedroom.
Ruixi suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Zhiwei behind her.
Luo Xiu saw that she was awake and got up happily: "Did I disturb you?"
He didn't mention at all that he had frantically searched for Lu Zhiwei that night, as if it had never happened.
As long as she is still at the Luo family manor and by his side, that's enough.
Lu Zhiwei approached Ruixi and said, "I was the one who broke into your room. You did nothing wrong, so why are you kneeling?"
Ruixi looked at Luo Xiu expectantly.
Whether he kneels or not is entirely up to his uncle; throughout the entire Luo family manor, he only obeys his uncle's orders.
Luo Xiu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to kneel.
Ruixi then stood properly to the side.
"Why did you go to Ruixi's room? The room I arranged for you is the one with the best lighting in the whole building. Did you go to the wrong room?" Luo Xiu pulled Lu Zhiwei's arm and pressed her down on the sofa, speaking gently to her.
He even came up with an excuse for her.
As long as she accepts the way he offers, he will forgive and forget.
“I’m not that stupid, I can’t even remember the room number.” Lu Zhiwei was clearly not buying his act.
A slight chuckle flashed across Luo Xiu's charming face: "Yeah, how could the woman I like be so stupid? So stupid that I'm starting to doubt my own judgment. So tell me, what were you doing in Ruixi's room?"
Lu Zhiwei glanced at Ruixi.
Judging from her physical condition, Mizuki was indeed not mistreated.
But this child has serious personality problems.
I'm afraid things will continue like this.
There is no doubt that Ruixi will become the next Shen Shuyuan in the future.
Shen Shuyuan was also adopted, and from a young age, she was given the mission of becoming the most outstanding young lady.
It seems that Ruixi is now destined to suffer the same fate as Shen Shuyuan.
This is the continuation of the tragedy.
All she can do now is prevent this tragedy from happening again.
There can never be another Shen Shuyuan in this world.
Now that she can no longer avoid confronting Luo Xiu, she must find a way to take the child away from the manor and get him back on track.
"I went to tell him a bedtime story. I've gotten into the habit of telling my son bedtime stories; he can't fall asleep without one. But instead of putting him to sleep, I ended up falling asleep myself," Lu Zhiwei said with a laugh.
"You're talking nonsense! You were the one who insisted on telling me a bedtime story, and when I refused, you took over my bed. You bad woman!" Ruixi pointed out Lu Zhiwei's misdeeds.
Lu Zhiwei smiled, pursing her lips.
What Mizuki said is indeed the truth.
Her first step was to unleash Mizuki's true nature and tear off his disguise.
This kid has already learned to be two-faced at such a young age.
"Shut up! Who gave you permission to insult her?" Luo Xiu glared at him with a sharp look.
Mizuki obediently shut her mouth.
She felt even more aggrieved at this moment.
It's bad enough that Lu Anyu bullies him, but now even his mother is bullying him.
“I’m used to sleeping with the child. I’ll sleep in the same room with him tonight. Mr. Luo, please don’t disturb us, okay?” Lu Zhiwei looked over with her clear and gentle eyes.
Luo Xiu's Adam's apple bobbed.
As if possessed, he nodded.
It was the first time she asked him for a favor, and he found it hard to refuse.
He regretted it as soon as he agreed.
He never even slept in the same room as Lu Zhiwei, but that brat Ruixi got to enjoy it.
“I don’t think I’ve ever slept with this child before. How about the three of us sleep together?” Luo Xiu quickly offered as an excuse.
"Okay, okay," Mizuki readily agreed.
Lu Zhiwei turned and left, saying, "Never mind then, I'll go back to my room to sleep."
Luo Xiu noticed the obvious displeasure on Lu Zhiwei's face.
He wanted to keep Lu Zhiwei, not just as an empty shell, but as a Lu Zhiwei who could experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness just like before.
