Lu Anyu looked into the hole that Angel had pointed to.
The hole was just the right size for him to crawl through.
Without hesitation, Lu Anyu immediately lay down on the ground, supported himself with his hands, and crawled towards the cave entrance.
It took less than a minute.
Lu Anyu successfully entered the solitary confinement room.
He dusted himself off, stood up, and came to Ruixi's side: "Ruixi, this hole isn't narrow at all. I've tested it for you, and you can squeeze through. Come with me."
Lu Anyu grabbed Ruixi's hand, trying to get him up from the ground so he could crawl out with him.
Mizuki shook her head: "No, I can't go out."
"Are you afraid people will laugh at you? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you crawling through the dog hole," Lu Anyu whispered in Ruixi's ear.
Ruixi quickly denied it: "No, I did something wrong, and I will accept the punishment myself."
Having been bound by rules since childhood, Mizuki would not voluntarily step out of this door.
The rigidity and stubbornness in his bones are completely different from Lu Anyu's frankness and easygoing nature.
Lu Anyu sighed and patted Ruixi's forehead: "Your mommy must be a big idiot, how could she give birth to an idiot like you?"
If he had a father like Luo Xiu when he was young, he would have run away long ago and wouldn't have clung to him.
Mizuki bit her lip and remained silent.
When Lu Anyu withdrew his hand, he noticed that Ruixi's forehead was frighteningly hot.
He touched his own again; it was very cold.
"Little brother Ruixi, do you have a fever?"
Mizuki denied it, saying, "No."
Lu Anyu didn't believe it. His mother used to touch his forehead like this to see if he had a fever. Usually, this temperature meant he had a fever.
To verify his conjecture.
The little guy decisively took off his watch and put it on Ruixi's wrist.
"This watch was a gift from my mom. It can monitor your body temperature."
Open the body temperature monitoring system.
Beep beep beep—
A red temperature warning appeared on the watch, indicating a temperature as high as 39.6 degrees Celsius.
At the same time, Lu Zhiwei's phone, which was in the Artists' Alliance, suddenly rang with an alarm.
She took out her phone and looked at it.
Lu Anyu's body temperature was nearly 40 degrees Celsius.
She immediately put down her sketches, picked up her coat and car keys from the table, and said to her subordinates in the office, "You all go ahead with your work, I'm going home first. Report to me immediately if there are any emergencies."
After giving her instructions, Lu Zhiwei immediately rushed out of the company.
And then he dialed his son's smartwatch.
The call was answered quickly.
A clear, crisp voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mommy, you must be scared. It's not me with a fever, it's Ruixi. I put the watch on his wrist."
Lu Zhiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death. What's wrong with Ruixi?"
"He seems to have fainted. Please come to Uncle Luo's house to pick us up quickly. If you don't come soon, Ruixi will die." Lu Anyu said, then hung up the phone.
Mizuki collapsed to the ground, having gone into shock due to a high fever and prolonged lack of water.
Lu Anyu was terrified. He crawled out of the hole and grabbed Angel's hand, saying, "Go tell that big bad guy Luo Xiu that Ruixi has fainted. He needs a doctor, he needs a doctor."
Angel shook her head and told him in sign language, "Without the young master's orders, no one is allowed to take Young Master Ruixi out without permission. Otherwise, we will all lose our lives."
Lu Anyu himself was only a five-year-old child, and he couldn't possibly take Ruixi out of the confinement room by himself.
So all he could do was pray that his mother would arrive soon.
When Lu Zhiwei drove to the Luo family manor.
The bodyguards at the gate blocked Lu Zhiwei's way.
“Miss Lu, our young master has instructed that you are not allowed to enter the manor.”
Lu Zhiwei clenched her fingers and immediately took out her phone to call Luo Xiu.
"I need to go in to pick up my son. Please have your people move aside." Lu Zhiwei said bluntly to Luo Xiu as soon as the call connected.
Luo Xiu was extremely busy on the other end of the phone and had no time to pay attention to things at the manor.
He knew that Lu Zhiwei simply wanted to rescue Ruixi.
[I begged you to come into the manor before, but you wouldn't. Now, it won't be so easy for you to get in. I'll have someone bring An'an out later. If you want to take Ruixi away, come see me yourself. We'll talk about it when I'm in a better mood.]
Luo Xiu hung up Lu Zhiwei's phone immediately after speaking.
The manor was heavily guarded; if she forced her way in, the people inside would likely make things difficult for An'an.
Lu Zhiwei contacted Luo Wuyan and asked her to come out and pick her up.
Upon receiving the call, Luo Wuyan immediately went to the courtyard gate and asked the bodyguard to open the door and let Lu Zhiwei in.
"I am the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Don't you listen to me anymore? Didn't you hear me tell you to open the door?"
Luo Wuyan's orders had no effect on them.
The bodyguards lowered their heads and remained silent.
Helpless, Lu Zhiwei had no choice but to ask Luo Wuyan to find a way to bring An'an and Ruixi out first.
Little did anyone know that Luo Wuyan had just arrived at the entrance to the basement.
The bodyguards guarding the cell blocked Luo Wuyan's path: "Miss, the young master just called. No one is allowed to approach the confinement room. Otherwise, we will not be polite."
The bodyguard pulled a gun from his suit pocket.
Luo Wuyan never expected Luo Xiu to go to such extremes this time.
They didn't even care about Lu Zhiwei's feelings anymore.
Luo Wuyan failed to save the person and could only return to the front courtyard gate to inform Lu Zhiwei.
"My brother gave a strict order that no one is allowed to save Mizuki."
“But if this continues, Ruixi will die. He’s forcing me, forcing me to beg him.” Lu Zhiwei gritted her teeth in anger.
Such extreme methods are indeed a style that Luo Xiu often uses.
In a moment of urgency, Lu Zhiwei temporarily left the Luo family's gate, started the car, and headed towards the Luo family's old residence.
She had to go see the old master of the Luo family alone.
Currently, the only person who can keep Luo Xiu in check is the head of the Luo family.
...
In the basement, Lu Anyu climbed into the solitary confinement room once again and dragged the unconscious Ruixi out of the hole.
Angel quickly found a glass of warm water, picked up Ruixi, and fed her the water.
Lu Anyu ran to the stairwell exit of the basement, where two burly bodyguards stopped him and wouldn't let him out.
Dejected, Lu Anyu returned to the basement.
"What should we do? My mommy can't come in, and I can't take Ruixi away either." Lu Anyu sighed.
Angel, holding Mizuki, told him in sign language, "I heard from Mizuki that you and he switched identities once, using a face-changing technique?"
Lu Anyu nodded: "Yes, yes."
“I have an idea. You can switch places with him and let him go out for treatment first,” Angel suggested.
“But my mom did our makeup last time, and she can’t come in now. How can I switch identities with Ruixi?” Lu Anyu frowned, troubled.
Angel pointed to herself: "Perhaps I can give it a try?"
