Lu Yuan returned to his residence, tidied up his bed, and then looked at Anna beside him.
"Hmm, our blanket is too small. You go to sleep for the second half of the night, and I'll sleep for the first half. Last night I heard some noise outside, probably someone trying to steal something again."
There shouldn't be any problems for the first half of the night. Just be careful while you're on watch tonight. If anyone coughs or touches me, I'll wake up!
After saying that, Lu Yuan lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.
Anna, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes when she saw this action.
She simply couldn't believe that Lu Yuan was asking her to stay here alone all night. It was terrifying!
Less than ten minutes later, Lu Yuan, who was standing next to me, was already snoring.
She sat down on the edge of the bed with a sigh, then secretly peeked outside.
The enormous moon reflected the sun's rays, illuminating the entire world in a dazzling light.
Anna sighed helplessly, then sat down on the edge of the bed and wrapped her legs in her coat, looking like a big penguin.
She waited quietly for the sounds outside, seemingly filled with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
After an unknown amount of time, Anna drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly a noise came from outside, and Anna's eyes widened in surprise.
I listened for a while, and it sounded like people coming upstairs outside.
Lu Yuan now lives in a three-story building.
And their residence was on the third floor.
Because there are only living quarters on the third floor; there are no living quarters on the first and second floors.
The only downside of the third floor is that it's a single-story building, so when the sun shines all day, the heat inside makes the whole room feel like a steam oven, and it's unbearable to be inside.
At night, the wind at high altitudes is so strong that even though their windows have glass, the wind seems to seep into the room through the cracks, taking away the little warmth in the room.
Ta-da!
The sound of people going upstairs pounded in Anna's heart like drumbeats.
She felt extremely nervous at that moment, her hands clenched tightly together, feeling somewhat at a loss, and even so nervous that she forgot what Lu Yuan had told her before he went to sleep.
I still don't know what time it is; my mind is completely blank.
Anna silently prayed that it wasn't coming for her.
Only then did she realize that someone seemed to be approaching from the side.
She turned her head and glanced at him, only to find that Lu Yuan had gotten up at some point.
She gasped in surprise, covering her mouth, but Lu Yuan quickly covered her mouth as well.
"Don't make a sound. Usually, someone who makes such a commotion isn't a thief. They might just rob you outright, so be prepared and hide inside!"
Anna became even more frightened after hearing Lu Yuan's words.
She clenched her small fists and leaned against the corner of the wall, trembling with fear.
Lu Yuan slowly got up, then pulled out a dagger from his waist and waited quietly against the wall.
After a while, it seemed that the person who climbed the stairs was short of oxygen due to running for a long time, and their breathing became hoarse.
Lu Yuan adjusted his mask, took a deep breath, and slowly extended his hand out of his body, silently counting the other person's footsteps.
One step, two steps, three steps.
The person stopped again when the footsteps stopped in front of them, seemingly examining the house number.
Then a beam of flashlight shone on the doorplate, but just as the flashlight came on...
Suddenly, the door opened, and a figure rushed out and kicked him in the stomach.
Bang!
The man felt as if his stomach had been hit by a car.
His internal organs were twisted together, and he collapsed to the ground in agony, letting out a scream.
After a while, he was rubbing his stomach, but now he had been dragged into the room by Lu Yuan.
That punch almost made him convulse, so he didn't care who was in front of him anymore.
Now that everything has finally been restored, she saw a man sitting on the edge of the bed in the room, smoking a cigarette and staring at her.
After a while, he rubbed his stomach before raising his head and glancing at Lu Yuan.
"Your name is Lin Hao, right?"
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Lu Yuan looked at the other person.
"What do you need me for?"
"Something's happened! Ouch! Something's happened at Deep Sea Bar. I came here to deliver a message, but your punch almost killed me. That's two lives in one punch!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then looked at Anna with the same expression.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'one punch, two lives'? You're a grown man, and you're saying you're pregnant?"
The other person shook their head vigorously, then gasped and rubbed their stomach.
"No, Liu Qing from Deep Sea Bar sent me to find you. She said her brother is in trouble!"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
"What happened? Tell me the whole story!"
So the other party quickly explained what had happened, and Lu Yuan learned that the Razor Gang members had gone to the bar after Lu Yuan got off work and found the evidence there.
In order to force Liu Ke to reveal the secret, they called Liu Ke away directly.
The patrons at the bar knew that Liu Ke had an older sister, so they went to find Liu Qing.
Liu Qing, a weak woman, was no match for those people.
She knew that even if she went to the Razor Gang, she would be nothing more than lamb to the slaughter.
The only way to avoid becoming popular in a short time is to rely on one's own connections.
First of all, the boss is away on a business trip and there's no word from him for the time being. The only person we can contact now is Lu Yuan.
In desperation, Liu Qing sent out many people to ask his friends in the bar for help, hoping to get Liu Ke out of the Razor Gang.
After hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
He immediately realized what was going on. Wasn't that guy named Amin from the Razor Gang the one who mentioned the gang? It turned out they might have discovered their trail.
So Lu Yuan immediately stood up, tightened his coat, and looked at Anna standing behind him.
"Don't come with me on this! I'll go check it out myself; it's too dangerous for you to go!"
Anna shook her head immediately after hearing this; how could she dare to live in such a place alone?
How dare this frail woman, who almost got into trouble before, live here alone now?
She shook her head frantically.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and finally came up with an idea.
"Alright, then come with me first, pack your things, and spend the night at a bar. You're still not asleep at midnight, I need to get this sorted out first!"
