Fu Heng raised his hand and patted her head, speaking affectionately.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's eat first. Let's go!"
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng went back to their room, changed their clothes, washed up, and then came downstairs.
Ye Yunxi came to the dining table and took out steamed buns, dumplings, soy milk, pancakes, and spicy soup from her spatial storage.
I got some food for Yunzi and Tangtang, and just then I saw Xuanyu and Minyu coming downstairs.
Ye Yunxi called to them with a smile, "Breakfast is ready, come and eat!"
Minyu walked over, sat down in a chair, and said.
"The polar night has begun. If you didn't look at the time, you would think it was night, not daytime."
Xuan Yu echoed, "That's true. I wonder how long this polar night will last."
Ye Yunxi said while eating, "The polar night has just begun, and it probably won't end anytime soon. Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
Fu Heng didn't say anything, he just told them to eat quickly.
After they finished breakfast, Ye Yunxi took out several flashlights, one for each of them.
Fu Heng, Xuan Yu, and Min Yu drove there; they didn't bring Yun Zi or Tang Tang.
Ye Yunxi went to the Lu family alone. Although she was carrying a flashlight, she still took Yunzi and Tangtang with her just in case.
Ye Yunxi walked along, the streets lined with twinkling lights, every house lit up. Yunzi and Tang followed on either side of her.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way, and fifteen minutes later, they arrived safely at the Lu family's gate.
Ye Yunxi looked inside; there was no one there, but the Lu family's lights were on.
She took out her phone and dialed Lu Hengyi's number.
The call was answered shortly afterward, and Lu Hengyi's voice came through.
"Hey, Yunxi, what's wrong?"
Ye Yunxi didn't say anything else, only telling him that it was outside his house.
"I'm at your doorstep, I need to talk to you about something."
"Okay, wait two minutes, I'll be right there."
Ye Yunxi hung up the phone and waited for about three minutes before Lu Hengyi came running over with a flashlight.
He arrived at the door, quickly opened it for Ye Yunxi, and asked her questions as he did so.
"Yunxi, what brings you here?"
"Let's go inside first. Are Grandpa Lu and your uncle and aunt home?"
"Here I am."
"Then let's go in first."
Ye Yunxi, familiar with the place, arrived at Lu Hengyi's house with him. Seeing that no one was in the living room, she turned to look at Lu Hengyi.
Lu Hengyi awkwardly scratched his head and said.
"The old man and my parents are in their own room. Please sit down and wait a moment while I go and invite them over."
Ye Yunxi didn't say anything and found a chair to sit down.
As soon as Lu Hengyi saw her sit down, he immediately went to call his family over.
A moment later, Lu Hengyi's parents came over, and they said with smiles.
"Yunxi, you're here. We heard from Xiaoyi that you needed to talk to us."
Ye Yunxi stood up and nodded.
"Uncle, Aunt, yes, I have something to tell you. I'll tell you all together when Grandpa Lu arrives."
Mr. Lu gestured for her to sit down.
"Okay, then we'll wait a moment. Yunxi, have you had breakfast?"
"Thank you, Uncle, I've already eaten."
A deep male voice came from behind.
"Yunxi, you're here."
Ye Yunxi smiled and stepped forward to help Grandpa Lu.
"Grandpa Lu, I've come to see you all, and I have something to say to you."
"Oh? What's the matter? Why did I make you come all this way?"
"Grandpa Lu, please sit down first, and I'll explain slowly."
"Alright, alright, girl, you sit down too."
Seeing that Lu Hengyi and his parents had sat down, Ye Yunxi sat down as well.
Seeing that they had all sat down, Old Master Lu spoke to Ye Yunxi.
"Girl, can you talk now?"
Ye Yunxi paused for a moment and then said, "Grandpa Lu, Uncle, Aunt, as you have probably seen, it has been dark all day long, not light."
Uncle Lu chimed in, "Yes, normally it would have been dawn long ago. This morning when we got up, it was still dark. If I hadn't seen the time was a little after seven in the morning, I would have thought it was still night."
"Hey, Yunxi, tell me, what's the reason for this?"
Ye Yunxi looked at them. "Now that's what I'm going to say. This is because the polar night has arrived, which is why it's always dark and there's no dawn."
What I'm about to say, please listen to what I have to say, Grandpa Lu, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, and Hengyi.
Fu Heng, Xuan Yu, and I discussed it. The polar night came suddenly, and as everyone knows, there have been troublemakers causing trouble in the civilian area of the base.
Team Leader Li often leads men to manage that area, but they don't always heed advice and seem to dislike us from the wealthy neighborhood. We're worried these people might take advantage of the polar night to cause trouble and rob people in the wealthy area.
So what we need to do now is increase patrols, add more barbed wire to the top of the wall, add an electric fence to the iron gate, and ideally install various traps in the yard, just in case they manage to break in.
The members of the Lu family all looked troubled after hearing what Ye Yunxi said.
Finally, Old Master Lu spoke.
"Yunxi, thank you for telling us about this. We've always known that people in the slums have had opinions about our wealthy neighborhood."
There are a few individuals in the slums who bully the weak and fear the strong. Even if Li Yan tries to stop them, it's useless. They just make a fuss and don't cause much of a disturbance, so Li Yan can't arrest them.
Just as you said, they'll probably take advantage of the polar night to rob and plunder our wealthy neighborhood. Grandpa Lu will have the butler give the orders regarding what you mentioned later.”
Ye Yunxi nodded. "Grandpa Lu needs to hurry. We don't know their motives or whether they will really attack us, but in any case, taking these precautions is better than not taking any."
Aunt Lu said worriedly, "Yunxi, why don't you come to our Lu family? It's better if we're all together. Our Lu family has many thugs and guns, so we'll protect you."
Grandpa Lu chimed in, “Yes, girl, your aunt is right. Coming to our Lu family will protect you.”
Ye Yunxi declined their offer.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu and Aunt Lu. We can protect ourselves. If this really happens, please be careful."
Seeing her insistence, Old Master Lu didn't say anything more.
Ye Yunxi thought about it and decided to remind them.
“Grandpa Lu, Uncle, Aunt, Hengyi, I don’t know the servants of the Lu family, but you do. We can’t guarantee that everyone who has been with the Lu family is a good person. I’m afraid that some of them may have ulterior motives and harm others.”
Uncle Lu asked directly, "You mean if there's a riot at the base, someone from the Lu family might join forces with outsiders to come after us?"
"It's always good to be cautious. But Uncle Lu, you'll have to investigate this yourself."
"Alright, we understand what Yunxi said today. We will check the servants in the house and increase precautions."
