Gu Yao frowned slightly upon hearing Xiao Qi's words. He turned to look at Xiao Qi and spoke in a somewhat incredulous tone.
"What's going on? Didn't I send you the truth about your parents' murder back then? Didn't you see the message I sent you? Xiao Qi, are you out of your mind? You don't believe the information I gave you, but you actually believe a phone call from an unknown number!"
Gu Yao was furious after hearing Xiao Qi's words. She had spent more than an hour looking up the information, but Xiao Qi hadn't even glanced at it. Not only did he not look at it, but he also stupidly believed a stranger.
Looking at Xiao Qi, Gu Yao sat helplessly on the sofa next to her, pointed at Xiao Qi with her red-painted fingernails, and said to Wen Lu.
“If I hadn’t put a tracking device on him, he wouldn’t have come back. I can’t control this person anymore. You can do whatever you want with him.”
Looking at Gu Yao's helpless expression, Wen Lu turned to Xiao Qi, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice.
"Do you remember what happened that night? Do you remember what I told you? Why did you keep running around? Do you know that you're putting a lot of people in danger? Not only are you in danger, but the people around you and those who protect you are in danger too. Xiao Qi, if you want to die, don't drag other innocent people into it."
"I know I was wrong."
Xiao Qi lowered his head, not daring to look at Wen Lu. When Wen Lu saved him that day, he knew he was in great danger. However, he would lose his mind and become completely out of control whenever he was involved with his parents. He only wanted to know the truth and avenge his parents.
"Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place. A real man can't always rely on a woman to protect him when faced with such danger."
As she spoke, Yan Luo stood up from the sofa. Before she knew Wen Lu's identity, Yan Luo had gotten along quite well with Xiao Qi, so there was nothing wrong with her stepping in to protect Xiao Qi now.
Most importantly, he had already sensed danger. If he didn't take Xiao Qi away soon, Wang Jinyu might take action himself. At that point, it wouldn't be a simple safety issue anymore; Xiao Qi's greatest danger might be Wang Jinyu himself.
Yan Luo walked to Xiao Qi's side, put one hand on Xiao Qi's shoulder, and walked outside with her arm around her.
Yan Nuo watched Yan Luo's departing figure, feeling somewhat lost. He didn't know where to go or what to do. Yan Luo had left him here alone, and he felt incredibly awkward.
Seeing Yan Nuo's embarrassed expression, Wen Lu gently tapped the back of the sofa with her fingers, thinking of asking Yan Nuo to do something for her.
"Yan Nuo, have the housekeeper arrange a car to take you back to school. Take Qian Lailai and Dong Zhimeng out for a bit. First, drop Dong Zhimeng off at this address and tell her that her parents have returned. Then bring Qian Lailai over. We'll have barbecue in this courtyard tonight."
As she spoke, Wen Lu took out her phone, copied an address, and sent it to Yan Nuo.
Upon hearing Wen Lu mention barbecue, Gu Yao rubbed her empty stomach and looked at Wen Lu with a pitiful expression.
"I knew that kid was in trouble, so I went to find him. I haven't eaten yet, and I'm already at your house. Aren't you going to give me something to eat?"
Upon hearing that Gu Yao hadn't eaten, Wen Lu, who had originally intended to say something to Yan Nuo, immediately stopped talking, turned to look at Gu Yao, raised her hand, and pointed towards the kitchen in the courtyard.
"The kitchen is over there, there should be people inside. Just tell them what you want to eat. Eat whatever you like first, and we'll have barbecue tonight. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything if you're too full."
As soon as Wen Lu finished speaking, Gu Yao couldn't wait to run out. Wang Jinyu, who was sitting on the sofa, narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Gu Yao's behavior. He never expected that Gu Yao, whose reputation was not very good, would be like this.
She doesn't resemble that assassin from the Shadow Alliance at all.
"Are you... very familiar with her?"
Wang Jinyu looked at Wen Lu with a puzzled look in his eyes. He felt that Wen Lu looked at Gu Yao differently, with an indescribable doting look. It was not like he was looking at someone he had just met.
When Wen Lu heard Wang Jinyu's question, she sat down next to him, unsure whether to nod or shake her head. She knew that Wang Jinyu must have sensed something to ask such a question.
“We’re quite familiar, but she doesn’t know me. Let’s not talk about Wen Lu for now. Yan Nuo, go back to school and take Dong Zhimeng to this address. But you need to check if there are any of Dong Zhimeng’s uncle’s family members outside the school. If there are, bring her directly to me. If not, take her to meet her parents.”
Wen Lu knew about the relationship between Dong Zhimeng's parents and her uncle's family. She wasn't worried at all that her parents would be soft-hearted about her uncle's situation. After all, when everyone was kicking someone when they were down, no one knew how difficult it was to get through it.
After saying that, Wen Lu asked Yan Nuo to go find the housekeeper. Yan Nuo looked at the powerful Wang Jinyu and Wen Lu and felt that he was out of place. He didn't know why, but he felt that Wen Lu's aura became very strong when she stood next to Wang Jinyu. In any case, it was much stronger than his.
Wen Lu shook her head unconsciously as she watched Yan Nuo leave in such a hurry, but then she remembered that he was a young master from the capital and she couldn't expect him to think like her.
"In fact, Yan Nuo is someone many people envy. He lives such a simple life, which is something the Yan family has always longed for."
Wen Lu understood the meaning behind Wang Jinyu's words. She smiled faintly, holding Wang Jinyu's large, well-defined hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not one to meddle. Besides, we're more than capable of protecting her. What can we do? He's my brother, so we just have to spoil him."
The thought of having to call a little kid "brother" made Wen Lu feel a little unhappy. She turned to look at Wang Jinyu, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
"Wang Jinyu, what's your relationship with Mr. Yan like? Could you talk to him and ask me to be Yan Nuo's older sister? I don't want to call a childish brother, I feel ashamed."
Upon hearing Wen Lu's protest, Wang Jinyu reached out and pulled Wen Lu into his arms, smiling gently with a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.
Wen Lu felt a throbbing in her temple as she looked at Wang Jinyu's malicious smile.
"Wait a minute, isn't there an older brother between Yan Luo and Yan Nuo? Is he as childish as Yan Nuo?"
Wen Lu thought she would only have three older brothers in the Yan family at most, but she never expected that she would have other brothers.
"No, how many people are there in the Yan family? Why are there so many older brothers?"
