The two people inside the study, who had heard the commotion outside, exchanged glances, both puzzled. Lu Yijian stood up to open the door and check on the situation, but Qian Duoduo stopped him, saying she would open the door first.
When Aunt Liu saw someone open the door, a surge of joy welled up inside her. She decided to grab someone as a hostage to force them to stop attacking and help her escape this dangerous place as quickly as possible.
She learned that Lu Yijian had received military training and possessed a certain level of combat capability, so she hesitated about choosing him as a hostage. After some thought, she decided that the best candidate would be the young girl who had just arrived that day, as she appeared relatively weak and easier to control. Therefore, Aunt Liu secretly resolved that, if possible, she must capture this young girl.
However, when he saw that the person who opened the door was actually the little girl, his eyes lit up and he was secretly delighted. He quickly used a feint to separate Lu Fen, and then rushed straight towards Qian Duoduo.
Seeing this, Lu Fen and Lu Yuan were no longer as anxious as before. They knew that Aunt Liu was walking step by step into their trap, waiting for her to walk right into it.
As expected, just as Aunt Liu reached out to grab Qian Duoduo, a slender yet strong hand suddenly appeared, blocking her path. Then, with lightning speed, that hand executed a skillful dragon claw move, firmly gripping Aunt Liu's wrist. Before Aunt Liu could react, the other person had already raised a foot and kicked her hard in the stomach.
Aunt Liu suddenly felt a tremendous force strike her, as if a heavy iron hammer had smashed into her abdomen. Instantly, it felt as if her internal organs had been displaced, and the intense pain almost made her vomit.
Her wrist felt dislocated and she couldn't use it. She looked up at the smiling little girl who was holding her wrist, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Lu Fen clapped his hands at Qian Duoduo and said, "I didn't expect Guo Ni to not hide anything from you. Well done, my girl!"
Turning around, she saw the rope Lu Yuan was handing her, so she tossed it to Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo quickly and efficiently tied Aunt Liu's hands and feet together, binding her like a pig. This position made Aunt Liu very uncomfortable.
She had met this girl twice. Although she spoke very cheerfully, she didn't seem like someone with such good skills. How could she be so powerful? She could even hold her own against Lu Fen for a few moves, but against this girl, she couldn't even beat her in one move.
Lu Yijian, standing behind Qian Duoduo, naturally saw this scene as well. He looked at Qian Duoduo in surprise, then at Lu Fen and Lu Yuan not far away. He was somewhat confused about what was going on.
Lu Yuan took out a stack of photos and handed them to Lu Yijian. He reached out and took the photos and saw that Aunt Liu was leaning against the door of his study. He immediately became furious.
Aunt Liu's eyes darted around, and she said, "Yijian, how are I supposed to live after all this treatment from these younger generations?"
Hearing the commotion, Liu Wan walked over and heard what was said. Enraged, she immediately stepped forward and slapped Aunt Liu across the face, saying, "You shameless thing, how dare you throw mud at my house!"
Lu Yijian looked at Aunt Liu calmly and said, "You should think carefully about the consequences of trying to smear me."
Aunt Liu struggled for a moment, only to find that the rope was getting tighter the more she struggled. She immediately looked at Lu Yijian and said, "Yijian, you once said that you wouldn't tell Liu Wan about what happened between us, because you didn't want to leave a stain on your political career. But now that things are like this, I can't do anything about it. You can't expect me to follow you like this without any official status."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, you're quite the talker."
Aunt Liu looked at Lu Yijian with deep affection and said, "This is between Yijian and me..."
Qian Duoduo shook her head helplessly, took out a small bean from her pocket and said, "Since you love to talk, I'll give you a little candy bean." After saying that, she pinched Aunt Liu's mouth and was about to put it in.
Aunt Liu immediately gritted her teeth, but to her surprise, Qian Duoduo had a strong grip, pinching her chin and forcing her to open her mouth.
Qian Duoduo threw the truth beans into Aunt Liu's mouth, then lifted her chin and moved it up and down a few times.
Lu Yuan handed Qian Duoduo a glass of water with perfect understanding. Qian Duoduo gave him an appreciative look, then pinched Aunt Liu's chin and poured the water down her throat.
Aunt Liu asked in horror, "What did you give me to eat?"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Little Sugar Bean!"
To Aunt Liu, her smile looked like the smile of a devil. She said, "I don't believe you would just give me some candy."
Qian Duoduo said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you." These words plunged Aunt Liu's heart into despair.
Qian Duoduo looked at Aunt Liu, whose face was pale, and said with a grin, "You're very smart. You know this isn't candy. That's right, it's poison, poison that can make your intestines rot."
Aunt Liu was already in excruciating pain from Qian Duoduo's merciless kick to the stomach, and now she was even more frightened by her words.
Qian Duoduo said, "Tell me, who sent you?"
Aunt Liu originally intended to keep quiet, but she found that she couldn't control her mouth and heard her own voice come out: "I am the widow of the Jiang family. My husband was arrested in Jiangjin and sentenced to prison as well."
"I came here hoping to get some intelligence from the Lu family, which I can sell abroad for some money. If I could bring the Lu family down, that would be even better!"
Lu Yijian was very glad that he never brought work home, otherwise, who knows how many things would have leaked out of his home.
Qian Duoduo asked seriously, "Who was the person you were in contact with?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yijian immediately looked at Qian Duoduo, then turned his gaze to Aunt Liu, awaiting her answer.
Aunt Liu really didn't want to answer this question, but her mouth couldn't help but say, "Her name is Tian Na. She's the one I contact in Beijing."
Lu Yijian asked, "How do you contact me?"
Aunt Liu looked at Lu Yijian with deep affection and said, "Yijian, you have to believe me, I love you!"
Now, everyone except Lu Yuan was completely bewildered. What was going on? Qian Duoduo could get the answer by asking, so why did the conversation go off track when it came to Lu Yijian?
Standing behind Qian Duoduo, Lu Yuan understood when he sensed the spatial fluctuations that this so-called candy was a product of the space, so it couldn't be understood using common sense.
