When Hu Jianjun heard the words "Scar-eyed Lao Hei", his body shook violently and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Lu Xiao even knows this?
He was finished...his last hope of luck was completely shattered.
"besides……"
Lu Xiao took a step closer and looked down at the pale-faced Hu Jianjun.
"Hu Lili hasn't returned to her hometown at all. Where is she hiding? Do you want me to bring people to search for her? By then, it won't be as simple as just kicking her out of the family compound."
"Attempted poisoning, Hu Jianjun, you should know what will happen to you."
After hearing what Lu Xiao said, Hu Jianjun's mind went blank and he was overwhelmed by the huge fear.
No matter what future or face, they are not as important as life!
He can't die! His sister can't die either!
"I tell you! I tell you!"
"Lili... Lili is... in that shabby melon-watching shed. Captain Lu, I was just possessed by a ghost. Please let us go..."
Lu Xiao got the answer he wanted. He stopped looking at Hu Jianjun who was lying on the ground and carefully put away the bag of poisonous grass.
"Go and talk to the security department about this."
"Hu Jianjun, you are Hu Lili's brother. You have a supervisory role on her. She could not have done such a thing without your indulgence."
Even if it wasn't Su Tang, Hu Lili's jealousy would make her do bad things.
Lu Xiao looked at Hu Jianjun deeply and left.
The news that Hu Jianjun and Hu Lili were taken away by the security department spread throughout the family compound like wings.
Hu Lili originally wanted to frame Su Tang with poisonous weeds and make Su Tang bear the crime of poisoning the masses.
She thought she could do it without anyone noticing.
Who would have thought that in order to clear Su Tang's grievances, Lu Xiao mobilized his rarely used network of connections.
But what was even more dramatic was when the security department escorted Hu Lili away.
She was in a trance, her foot slipped, and she fell headfirst, landing flat on her face.
The family compound was in an uproar in an instant.
The curses almost drowned out the Hu brothers and sisters.
The investigation results completely cleared Su Tang of suspicion.
The door of the confinement room was opened, and dazzling sunlight poured in. Su Tang subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
Standing at the door was Lu Xiao.
His tall figure was against the light, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was unusually bright and gentle.
"It's okay, Su Tang."
"Let's go home."
These four simple words warmed Su Tang's heart.
The grievances, fears, anger, and frustration of being wrongly accused over the past few days all poured out at this moment.
She didn't even have time to think, her body reacted before her consciousness.
The moment Lu Xiao finished speaking, Su Tang threw herself into Lu Xiao's arms like a baby bird that finally found its way home!
"Lu Xiao!"
Her voice was tearful, her arms tightly wrapped around Lu Xiao's thin waist, and her cheek was buried deeply in his broad and solid chest.
He still carried the scent of the cool morning air outside, mixed with a reassuring aura that was uniquely his own.
Lu Xiao froze instantly!
Like a wooden stake driven into the ground.
His outstretched hand was still suspended in mid-air, as if he wanted to support her, but now it was completely stiff and motionless.
The sudden soft touch in his arms and the hug with a slight tremor were like a powerful electric current that instantly hit him.
All the blood in Lu Xiao's body seemed to rush to his head, and then solidified in the next second.
He could clearly feel Su Tang's soft hair rubbing against his chin.
He could feel her warm breath ironing his chest through the fabric.
He could also feel her arms around his waist gradually tightening.
Lu Xiao felt as if a firework exploded in his head and his ears were buzzing.
My cheeks and ears heated up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and my heartbeat was like a drum, pounding against my chest, so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of my throat.
His body was so stiff that he didn't even dare to move a finger and he held his breath.
Holding a soft, fragrant girl in my arms, this feeling... is so strange!
It’s too... terrible!
Su Tang thought the hug was nothing and had no idea that he had done anything earth-shattering.
Until she felt Lu Xiao's body was as stiff as a rock, and he didn't respond for a long time...
Su Tang realized belatedly what he had done!
Oh my god! She...she actually took the initiative to hug Lu Xiao?!
Or at the door of the detention room! There might be people watching around!
She suddenly let go of her hands and jumped out of Lu Xiao's arms as if she was scalded. Her cheeks were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out, and even the base of her neck was stained with a layer of crimson.
Su Tang lowered his head, his fingers frantically twisting the corners of his clothes, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
“I…I…”
The girl spoke incoherently, her voice almost inaudible: "I'm sorry... I was too excited... I..."
My arms suddenly felt empty, and the soft touch disappeared.
Lu Xiao's tense body seemed to be freed from the petrification curse, and he took a deep breath.
Seeing Su Tang so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head, the panic in his heart not only did not subside, but instead made him feel even more helpless and... a sense of indescribable loss.
He cleared his throat, his voice even hoarseer than before, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness: "It's okay, you've been wronged."
He wanted to say, "No need to apologize," and "Hug me if you want," but when the words came to his lips, they turned into dry consolation.
The hand hanging by his side curled up unconsciously, and the fingertips seemed to still retain the warmth he had just felt through the fabric.
