Chapter 34 Where is the explosive?
"Explosives?!"
"How could there be explosives?"
Lou Fengju's words were like a bomb dropped into the living room, shocking everyone.
Everyone was in an uproar, especially Old Madam Lou. Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she gripped the armrest of her cane tightly, almost unable to stand. Looking at her unharmed grandson, Old Madam Lou felt a surge of immense fear.
Explosives!
If the explosives were detonated, everyone present would be reduced to ashes. Her eldest grandson, who is standing in front of her now, might only have an arm or a leg left!
"Where did the explosives come from?" the First Madam asked incredulously. "Fengju, didn't you send people to investigate the Yuexian Restaurant a long time ago? How could there be explosives there?!"
Lou Fengju was also still shaken: "Yes, after deciding to sign the contract at the Yuexian Hotel, I sent people there a few days in advance to check for any potential dangers. We even replaced any staff members with suspicious identities. I booked the entire hotel, and no one except our people could enter or leave. Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any danger."
But danger still occurred.
When he learned that explosives had been found in the Moon Fairy Restaurant, he broke out in a cold sweat.
If it weren't for Mao Mao, he would definitely have gone as promised today. At that time, not only him, but everyone present, including Mr. Smith, would have been blown up.
If the explosion were to actually occur, and it happened in Haicheng, not only would the agreed-upon cooperation fall through, but the relationship between Haicheng and the British would also be strained. He held an important position in the military and political department, and his sudden death would certainly throw the department into chaos, giving those with ulterior motives an opportunity to exploit the situation.
Upon learning of the existence of the explosives, countless schemes flashed through Lou Fengju's mind in an instant.
At the same time, it also flashed by countless misfortunes that Haicheng might face.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of overwhelming joy washed over him.
It wasn't too late; Mao Mao stopped it all!
If it weren't for Mao Mao's reminder and clinging to his leg to prevent him from leaving, he wouldn't have discovered such great danger. If he hadn't trusted Mao Mao and had even a shred of heart to shake her off and leave at that moment, this conspiracy would have unfolded, and by then, everything would have been beyond redemption.
It's all thanks to Mao Mao!
Lou Fengju looked at the little girl in the house again.
He was the young marshal of the Lou family, inheriting his father's legacy. At a young age, he already held a high position in the military and political department. He was always ruthless and cold-blooded towards outsiders, and even more so towards enemies. But at this moment, his eyes were incredibly gentle, filled with tenderness as he looked at the little girl.
Mao Mao was not only his father's savior, but also his savior.
Mao Mao's willingness to be the Lou family's youngest daughter, their little sister, is truly the Lou family's greatest fortune.
They are the lucky stars of the Lou family and the entire Haicheng!
"Fengju, since your people have already checked for danger, how did the explosives end up in the Yuexian Restaurant?" Old Madam Lou asked.
Lou Fengju snapped out of his daze, a ruthless glint in his eyes, and said, "It was someone who delivered vegetables who sneaked in."
When Lou Fengju's men found the explosives, they were already stored on a food cart. When the servants pushed the cart into the conference room, they detonated the explosives, killing everyone in the room.
After finding the explosives, he immediately took control of all the staff at the Moon Fairy Restaurant and quickly discovered something amiss from their testimonies.
The Moon Fairy Restaurant is heavily guarded, and the staff are all long-time employees whom everyone knows well. No customers are coming or going. However, as a restaurant, it still needs to use fresh ingredients every day.
The explosives were hidden in the vegetable delivery basket, concealed by the green vegetables. It's unclear whether it was due to negligence on the part of the inspectors, but they failed to detect them, allowing the explosives to be successfully delivered to the Yuexian Restaurant.
As for the person who delivered the vegetables, he has already been arrested and is being tortured in jail to extract a confession. It's only a matter of time before they find out who was behind it.
“So, Mao Mao is right,” Lou Yansui said.
Lou Fengju: "That's right, it's all thanks to Mao Mao."
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes fell on the little girl.
Mao Mao looked up with her innocent, round face, accepting everyone's gaze with an innocent expression.
yes!
Everyone quickly remembered.
If Mao Mao hadn't clung to Lou Fengju's leg and thrown a tantrum to prevent him from leaving the house, he wouldn't have escaped this disaster so easily.
Lou Hongjian laughed, bent down and picked up the little girl on the ground, affectionately nuzzling her face.
He pressed against her, rubbing her soft cheeks until they were deformed: "I knew it! Our Mao Mao is our family's little lucky star. Last time, it was Mao Mao who reminded me, so I didn't get scammed by the swindler. This time, she even saved my older brother. Mao Mao, how are you so amazing!"
Mao Mao giggled as she was being rubbed.
But the third brother's cheeks were smooth, unlike Lou Dashuai who had a prickly beard. Not only did Mao Mao not dodge, but she also enthusiastically offered her chubby little face to him, affectionately sticking and rubbing against him.
"Mao Mao, Mao Mao," Lou Hongjian teased her, "How did you do that? How did you know there were explosives hidden in the Yuexian Restaurant?"
Mao Mao asked innocently, "What medicine?"
Why didn't you let your older brother go out this morning?
"Because...it's not good to go out."
Mao Mao couldn't explain it either; she just instinctively felt that Lou Fengju couldn't leave at that time. So, she hugged her brother tightly, stopping him in his tracks.
Everyone already knew that Mao Mao was lucky, but this time they felt her good fortune even more directly, and everyone was extremely envious.
Lou Hongjian hadn't held the little girl in his arms for long before his fourth brother took her away. After going around in circles, it was finally Lou Fengju's turn.
Although he already loved his younger sister, now she holds an even more special place in his heart.
Lou Fengju carefully bent his arm and let his sister sit on it. He kept his back straight and kept a little distance between them, afraid that the cold, hard badges on his military uniform would hurt his sister's delicate skin.
But Mao Mao didn't seem to mind at all. She put her little hands on his shoulders and smiled sweetly, like honey: "Brother!"
"Mao Mao, you've helped your brother so much, you even saved my life, how can I ever thank you enough?" Lou Fengju said indulgently, "Whatever you want, even if it's the stars in the sky, your brother will get it for you."
Mao Mao's eyes sparkled, and she said happily, "Brother, play with me!"
"Play with you?"
"My brother said he'll play with me tomorrow!"
Lou Fengju did indeed say that.
I just said it casually this morning, I didn't expect Mao Mao to remember it.
He readily agreed: "Okay, I'll set aside the whole day tomorrow to play with you."
Mao Mao cheered, "Yay!"
Lou Fengju: "Anything else? What else do you want?"
Mao Mao shook her head and said, "It's enough for my brother to play with me."
Lou Fengju: "Okay, Mao Mao, whatever you want to do, your brother will play with you!"
Mao Mao happily exclaimed, "Hello, brother! I like you, brother!"
Lou Fengju said indulgently, "Brother likes Mao Mao too."
Old Madam Lou watched the interaction between the brother and sister quietly, without saying a word.
