B City.

In the high-end ward of a private hospital, the lights were on and many people gathered in the room.

Almost all the Liao family members were gathered here.

Old Master Liao walked towards a brown-haired young man with a cane.

"Let's start now."

The brown-haired young man said, "I need to confirm with you again. This medicine is very dangerous. You may wake up after taking it, or you may die directly. Are you sure you want to use it?"

Old Master Liao tapped his crutch, "Now that things have come to this, we can only take a risk. That little beast has no feelings for the Liao family. Now the only one who can stop the little beast is Tingwang. As long as he wakes up, we can always catch that little beast."

The brown-haired young man took out a medicine, "Who of you will come?"

Liao Tingyue's family looked at Zhou Chanying and Liao Yuan. It would be a lie for them to say they didn't hate them. If it weren't for Zhou Chanying and the Zhou family, the Liao family wouldn't be in their current predicament. They should be held responsible for this.

Old Master Liao said, "Give it to the third son's wife. She caused the trouble, so she should solve it."

Zhou Chanying's face turned pale. She knew what this meant. If the medicine was really effective, it would be fine. If it was ineffective, but it killed Liao Tingwang, she would be almost the same as killing someone with her own hands. It

's not that she is not afraid, but she has no choice. Those things in the past were all revealed by that beast Lu Jiu. If there was no evidence, she could still argue a few words. Now she and the Zhou family were determined to die in this matter. The task force will come tomorrow. It is inconvenient to do anything else. They have no time.

Zhou Chanying trembled as she went to take the medicine, but was caught by Liao Yuan.

Liao Yuan said anxiously: "Grandpa, why must my mother come? Can't someone else come? Otherwise, let...let the nurse come, I'll give her money and let her do it."

The brown-haired young man chuckled and said nothing.

Old Master Liao scolded, "Shut up! Do you want to spread this to the whole world?!"

Liao Yuan said angrily: "Then why don't you let your uncle's family come?! Are you bullying us orphans and widows?!"

"You idiot!" Old Master Liao raised his cane and hit Zhou Chanying. Zhou Chanying stretched out her hand to block it, and the cane hit her arm.

"Don't quarrel, I'll feed her." Zhou Chanying took the medicine and walked to the bed.

Liao Yuan stared at Old Master Liao with hatred in his eyes.

The brown-haired young man smiled and said, "If he is lucky enough to wake up, the Liao family must not forget the promise they made to me."

Old Master Liao immediately changed his attitude, "Don't worry, we will definitely get it done."

Zhou Chanying lifted up Liao Tingwang's head and fed him the medicine.

Everyone stared at the person on the bed nervously, and saw that he was still breathing.

"How long will it take..." Old Master Liao wanted to ask how long it would take for the medicine to take effect, but he couldn't find the brown-haired young man.

He left at some point, and he left quietly, and no one noticed.

Lu Jiu woke up early in the morning, still a little confused.

Too many things happened yesterday, and now thinking about it, it was both exciting and unreal.

Lu Jiu squinted for a while, got out of bed to wash, checked his magic value casually, screamed "Ah", and swallowed the toothpaste foam directly.

"System! How come my magic value is only 87 points?!"

He had more than 400 magic points, but only this much was left after a day, including the magic points from recycling so many fish heads and bones yesterday!

[Host, do you think it's easy to find evidence? Of course the consumption is huge!]

Rujiu: ...

Rujiu: ...

Rujiu was heartbroken.

The magic points that I worked so hard to save were reduced to this little bit in a flash.

Rujiu: Do you have any more missions for the invisible fish? I want to earn magic points.

[The host still has a small blue magic mission that has not been completed.]

Rujiu: ...

Rujiu: Okay, let's do it tonight. It's 100 points of magic points, it's better to waste it.

[Host, if there is a chance, let's go find the magic crystal marrow. One can make you a millionaire instantly! 】

Lu Jiu: That location is on the high seas. It’s not easy to get there. We have to find a chance.

After packing, Lu Jiu rode his bike to the store.

He was still used to riding a bike. The black Xiaolan given by his grandfather was too conspicuous. When he bought the house, he didn’t buy a parking space. There was no place to put the Xiaolan, so he had to put it in Si Xu’s garage first.

Lu Jiu saw two golden heads at the door of the store from a distance, one tall and one short. The tall and thin boy was holding a little girl who was only five or six years old. When the blond boy saw Lu Jiu coming, he waved to him from a distance, very enthusiastic.

Lu Jiu rode his bike to the front, supported the ground with one foot, and looked at them.

Both of them are very beautiful. The little girl is a doll in person, with big, beautiful green eyes and long golden hair that is braided on her head with a circle of small floral patterns on it. She is very cute.

"Hi, Lei, this is my sister, Lai Lei. She is five and a half years old this year. I said I wanted to come and enjoy the food, and she insisted on coming with me. Is that okay?"

The Magic Fish Shop has a lot of rules. Lottie was worried that Lei Jiu would refuse, so she added, "We just need a place to eat, and we will pay for it ourselves."

Little Lai Lei looked up at Lei Jiu, speaking fluent Mandarin with a serious tone, "Can I come into the store to enjoy the food? I heard that the food here is very delicious."

"Of course, please come in." Lei Jiu got out of the car, pushed the car to the wall, and led the brother and sister into the store.

These two people gave Lu Jiu a very different feeling. They didn't look like strangers who had only met once or twice. Instead, there was a strange sense of closeness, which made Lu Jiu feel strange.

It's not time to open the store yet, but fortunately they came early and can sit anywhere.

Lu Jiu planned to prepare food for them first. When they finished eating, lunch time would be almost here.

Lu Jiu said, "Can I prepare food for you now?"

"Of course, thank you." After the brother and sister entered the store, they admired the furnishings in the store.

Lin Han came again today, and with him was Chang Beimu. Si Xu should want Chang Beimu to improve his strength as soon as possible, so he arranged for her to come more often. Her uneven short hair has been trimmed, and it looks a lot better. It's really short.

Lin Han is a chatterbox. He will gossip about all kinds of things whenever he gets the chance.

He explained to Lu Jiu why the brother and sister were standing at the door. It was not that they were not allowed to come in, but that they did not want to come in.

Lin Han remembered the blond boy, and knew that the boy and Boss Lu had an appointment to have dinner in the store. When he saw him coming, Lin Han invited him in, but they refused. They wanted to wait for Lu Jiu to come at the door.

I don’t know what kind of operation this is. Does it appear more polite this way? Lin Han didn’t know.

Little Lailei walked to the kitchen counter. She was too short, so she patted Lottie beside her and asked Lottie to pick her up.

Lottie picked her up without complaint. Little Lailei’s vision became higher, and she could finally watch Lu Jiu work.

Little Lailei looked at them very seriously, "Lui, can I go into the kitchen?"

Lottie hurriedly said, "No, no, you can't. It's very disrespectful, Lailei."

Little Lailei crossed her two chubby little hands, "I'm asking Lottie. As long as you agree, I can go in."

Lujiu was full of curiosity about them, "I want to know why you want to come to the kitchen. This is where the chef stays."

Little Lailei's big green eyes were full of seriousness, "I want to be closer to you. It will make me feel very comfortable."

Lujiu was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the answer.

Rujiu picked up a piece of fish and showed it to her, "Are you trying to express that you want to eat seafood?"

Little Lailei shook her head, "Of course not, a lady will not sell out her senses for food."

Rujiu: "..."

Little Lailei was still waiting for his answer, "Okay?"

Under normal circumstances, Rujiu would refuse without hesitation, but this time he actually wanted to agree, but still refused.

"No, the kitchen is very dangerous, and children are not allowed to enter."

Little Lailei was disappointed and looked at Rujiu eagerly, "Ruji, you are such a gentle person."

Rujiu: "Thank you."

Lottie was worried that her sister would disturb Rujiu's work, so she took her sister away and found a place to sit down.

They lowered their voices and communicated in their native language, "Lailei, you are not such an rude child."

Little Lailei sighed sadly, "Lottie, you are so slow."

Lottie's voice became even lower, "Are you underestimating your brother's intelligence?"

Little Lailei spread her hands, "He makes me feel very good, I like him very much, Lottie, can you tell me why? Did I fall in love at first sight, or is there a kinship between us? Don't you feel it?"

Lottie was stunned, then whispered, "But he is a boy , his age doesn't match, and he doesn't look like us at all, he is an orthodox Asian."

Little Leilei stretched out her chubby little hand and touched her brother's dog head, "I passed my smart genes to you, did you receive it?"

Lottie: "..."

Lottie: "I don't think I should have brought you out."

Little Leilei shook her head, "No, you should be glad to have brought me out. Since you praised someone so sincerely in front of us, I decided to come and see."

Little Leilei said seriously: "Lottie, we should not be so polite when facing strangers. There will be unexplained affection, and if there is, there must be a reason. "

Little Lailei: "Lottie, this is the regret of Grandpa's life, and it is also Grandpa's heartache. Father came all the way here to fulfill Grandpa's wish. We must be more careful and more careful."

Lottie spread her hands, "No matter how careful we are, we can't make mistakes in age and gender."

Little Lailei sighed, "According to the time calculation, Auntie should be close to 50 years old. Do you think a woman of this age will encounter a A handsome man, the two fell in love and gave birth to a lovely and beautiful child? How old will the child be? "

Lottie: "..."

Little Leilei: "Admit it, I am smarter than you."

Lottie shook her head, "No, no, I just entered a misunderstanding..."

Lottie suddenly fell silent, her eyes widened in horror, "If your speculation is true, then our aunt is gone? !"

Lottie also paid attention to the news on the Internet yesterday. He knew everything that happened to Rujiu.

He knew that Rujiu's biological mother was Vera, and Vera was gone when Rujiu was more than three months old...

Lottie slammed her fist on the table, gritted her teeth and spat out two words, "Liao! Home!"

Lottie picked up little Leilei and ran out.

Little Lailei screamed in shock. Although she analyzed it very well, she didn’t know what happened on the Internet, nor did she know that Lu Jiu’s mother was gone. If it was true as she speculated, they couldn’t find her anymore.

Speculations are just speculations after all. Now they have a direction. As long as they check Vera’s identity and background, they will definitely find clues.

When Lottie ran to the door, she remembered that she didn’t say goodbye to Lu Jiu, and hurried back, "Lu, let’s not eat today, I’ll come another day!"

Lottie rushed out of the store carrying little Lailei and ran away.

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lin Han and Lu Jiu had the same confused face.

Lu Jiu looked at the food that she hadn’t prepared yet... Never mind, just treat it as lunch.

Not long after Lottie and her brother left, Lu Jiu’s cell phone rang.

It was Si Xu’s call.

Last night, Si Xu sent Lu Jiu home. Lu Jiu thought Si Xu would stay overnight, but unexpectedly, Si Xu just kissed him and told him to go back and rest early. He had no intention of staying.

At that time, Lu Jiu not only doubted his own charm, but also wondered if Si Xu had any hidden illness.

Lu Jiu's thoughts were written on his face, which made Si Xu laugh and cry. He grabbed him and kissed him again.

Si Xu felt sorry for him because he was tired after a day, so how could he bear to torture him any more?

What's more, Si Xu felt that Lu Jiu was not ready yet.

Lu Jiu answered the phone, and Si Xu asked him what the foreign brother and sister were doing in the store just now?

Lu Jiu subconsciously looked outside the door.

Si Xu seemed to know his actions, "They have special identities and are the focus of the 'Special Security Department'."

If they are allowed to enter the country, the higher-ups will definitely not let them wander around freely without any preparation, and they will definitely keep an eye on their whereabouts.

Si Xu was in charge of this matter. He must be curious about why the brother and sister went to find Lu Jiu. If it was meal time, it could be understood as eating. The key is that this time is not lunch time.

Lu Jiu: "They came to eat."

Si Xu: "At this time?"

Lu Jiu told Si Xu about inviting Lottie to the store for dinner.

After all, it was to repay a favor.

The escaped gangsters, under the pursuit of the police, went berserk and resisted one after another. They were either shot or died of energy exhaustion.

They also had gains. When a berserker was about to die, in order to keep him alive, a team of enhanced people reluctantly forced him to drink a sip of red fruit wine, and successfully saved his life. The gangster was brought back for interrogation, but no useful information has been obtained so far.

Now there is only one real enhanced person on the run, and that is the enhanced person who can create fog, and he is very cunning.

Si Xu slowed down his voice, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Jiu didn't feel it was hard work, because Si Xu was responsible for compensating for all the losses that day, and Lu Jiu didn't lose much. The Liuxi fish he gave away gained a good reputation, and also got a large sum of "pocket money" from Si Xu.

Speaking of which, Si Xu always transferred money to him. Last time, he prepared a few boxes of set meals, and received a big red envelope and several transfers.

Si Xu said that it was pocket money given by his grandpa and grandma, and Lu Jiu must accept it. If he didn't accept it, Lu Jiu would have to return it to the old people himself.

After that, Si Xu transferred several more sums to him, each time it was several million. Si Xu meant that the money should be kept with Lu Jiu, and he would deduct it from the money when he ate.

Lu Jiu originally wanted to make money by selling black star beads, but he was not given the opportunity at all. He often had money deposited into the account, and each time it was a large amount, he did not have to worry about not having money to buy a set meal.

Lu Jiu is now used to it. It is common to have several million more in the account from time to time. There is no need to be surprised.

Lu Jiu remembered his inexplicable affection for the brother and sister, and wanted to find out what was special about their identities, but he held back when the words came to his lips.

This might be Si Xu's mission, and it is not good for him as an outsider to know too much.

Si Xu asked again: "They probably didn't eat? Do you know why they left in a hurry?"

Lu Jiu: "I don't know. I was preparing food for them. They seemed to be chatting. The brother suddenly picked up his sister and ran out. Then he came back and told me that they would not eat today and come back another day."

Lu Jiu told Si Xu all the details.

Si Xu's focus was on Lu Jiu preparing food for them separately and then preparing lunch.

Si Xu: "You prepared lunch for them in advance?"

Lu Jiu: "Ah... yes, what's wrong?"

Si Xu: "I thought you would ask him to come back next time, or wait until there are vacancies after the customers have finished their meal, and then you would arrange for them to eat."

This is Lu Jiu's normal operation. Sometimes when Si Xu and Jiang Ge come over, they have to wait until Lu Jiu is done before they can eat.

For example, Fu Yu has no seat, so he can only eat with Lu Jiu and the others.

Lu Jiu didn’t think too much at the time, “There was just enough time, and I didn’t want to make them wait too long, so I cooked for them first… It seems I have to keep a box as a backup, otherwise it would be too embarrassing when friends come over and there is no place to eat.”

Si Xu was silent for a while, then said: “Are you already friends?”

Lu Jiu was stunned, “Not really, this is the second time we meet.”

Si Xu said: “Xiao Jiu, you make me feel that you have a close relationship with them.”

Lu Jiu: “…”

This is how he felt in his heart.

Lu Jiu said: “They all get along well, Lottie is sunny and cheerful, little Leilei is very beautiful and cute, speaks like an adult, has clear thinking, serious expressions, and is very funny…”

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but fall silent when he said this.

Si Xu was also silent.

After a long time, he said, "This is the first time you praise someone like this in front of me."

Lu Jiu was cold and indifferent to everyone. Even Ling Chen and Huo Wei, who were in the same group and could be considered friends, Si Xu could see that Lu Jiu was not too close to them.

Even with Jiang Ge and Jiang Xiwen, there was always something between Lu Jiu and them.

Si Xu was special to Lu Jiu, which was also the motivation for Si Xu to confess and pursue him. Si Xu could feel this specialness.

Now, Lu Jiu treated someone special again.

Si Xu did not think that Lu Jiu's "specialness" was the same as her "specialness" to him. After all, the little girl was only five or six years old, and there must be some reason for it.

Si Xu said: "Xiao Jiu, what do you think?"

Jiu shook her head, but she remembered that she was on the phone and Si Xu couldn't see.

Jiu: "I don't know, I just have a good impression of them and think they are cute... I'm sorry, don't get me wrong, this is not liking... No, it may be liking, I like them a little bit... But this is not love, it is different from the feeling you give me, I love you."

Si Xu: "..." Jiu

was already bubbling with jealousy, but she was unexpectedly confessed.

This is the first time Jiu said she loves him.

... On the phone!
