If she wasn't mistaken, there was probably some surveillance equipment waiting for her in the study.
If she were to take the key out of curiosity and actually open the study door, who knows what kind of catching her red-handed would await her.
Zi Xi finished watering the flowers without making a sound, then picked up the plate of fruit and sat down on the sofa.
"Young Madam, what's wrong...?"
Aunt Liu grew impatient and came over to see her lazily eating fruit, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
"Aunt Liu, you're here. The key is on the coffee table."
Zi Xi spoke naturally.
"Okay, thank you, Miss Shen."
Aunt Liu forced a smile.
Watching her hurried departure, Zi Xi's eyes flashed with doubt.
Are the nannies in families like the Lu family all managed in a military-style manner?
His physique suggests he's received special training.
In the days that followed, Zixi secretly observed Aunt Liu and discovered that something was quite amiss.
Aunt Liu would go out at night every three to five days, saying she was going to visit her sick sister.
But each time he returned, he carried a very faint smell of tobacco.
Either Aunt Liu smokes, or Aunt Liu has been in contact with people who smoke.
At night, Zixi pretended to be asleep. After Aunt Liu slipped out the back door, she quietly sneaked into Aunt Liu's room.
I felt a package of oiled paper in the middle of the bed board.
Upon opening it, one finds several secret letters and a meticulously drawn layout of the Lu residence, with Lu Ran's study heavily circled.
Zi Xi put the evidence back into her spatial storage as is, then quickly copied the handwriting and scribbled something haphazardly before putting it back.
The next morning, he said he was going out to buy meat, but he ended up going straight to the nearest police station.
At dusk that day, plainclothes police officers suddenly arrived and, catching Aunt Liu off guard, pinned her to the ground and even reached into the bed frame to find an oil paper package.
They also saw the forged letter mentioned by the whistleblower.
"Why are you arresting me?! It was her! All the things were hers! She framed me!"
Even as Aunt Liu struggled, she didn't forget to frame Zi Xi.
"Aunt Liu, I have no grudge against you, why would I frame you?"
Zi Xi stood quietly and said softly.
Aunt Liu was stunned. Yes, what she said was utter nonsense; the police had clearly already obtained those letters.
"Struggling won't change the fact that you've betrayed your country and colluded with the enemy."
The police officer said coldly.
Aunt Liu collapsed to the ground, glaring venomously at Zi Xi as she was led away.
Just as Zi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, the Lu family couple returned from outside.
After a brief explanation, Lu Zhenbang and Qin Xueyi were both very grateful and relieved.
Just as the Lu couple were feeling both frightened and relieved about Aunt Liu's situation, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
Looking travel-worn, Lu Ran swaggered in carrying a simple bag, exuding his unruly arrogance.
However, as soon as he stepped into the living room, his keen intuition immediately made him realize that the atmosphere at home seemed different from usual.
Especially when he saw his parents sitting solemnly on the sofa, while his nominal wife sat quietly to the side.
In just one week since he left home, something big happened at home that he was unaware of?
Where is Aunt Liu?
Before Lu Ran could speak, he glanced around and asked a question instinctively.
He remembered that no matter how long it had been since he returned, Aunt Liu was always the first to greet him and ask how he was doing, so he had a pretty good relationship with her.
