The Lu family has two sons in total, including both biological and adopted sons.
Now that one of them is being blackmailed and the other has been beaten so badly that his head is split open, even if Lu Zhengming is as magnanimous as he is, he can no longer sit still.
He sat alone in the study, suppressing his anxiety. "If anything happens to these two children, how can the Lu family still have the face to stay in Jiangzhou? So, I'm entrusting this matter to you!"
The other party readily agreed, so Lu Zhengming put down the phone and looked at the small house in the backyard.
Suddenly I felt extremely guilty towards Lu Yi!
For seventeen years, he has never received protection from the Lu family; on the contrary, he has been implicated because of the Lu family's business dealings.
Two hundred thousand yuan, that's all the wealth that Lao Lu's family left him, right?
It's time for me to think about this child!
...
Lu Baozhi sat in the corner coffee shop, staring at "Honey Words Ice Sweetness" across the street, for two hours straight.
Her beautiful appearance and refined demeanor quickly attracted many men to approach her.
But she ignored them all with a cold face.
It wasn't until a tall, thin young man walked into the store and glanced back unintentionally that a faint smile appeared on her tense face. "It's Yi'er..."
She excitedly grabbed the heavy bag, ready to give Lu Yi a surprise.
The next moment, before she even left the booth, she saw a group of men and women walking arm in arm, chatting and laughing, following Lu Yi into the store.
Lu Baozhi's heart clenched instantly, and she wanted to rush out to warn Lu Yi.
On second thought, given his current physical condition, Lu Yi would probably suffer a loss before he even arrived.
She frantically rummaged through her contacts. "Officer Ma, I think I have a lead on that kidnapping and extortion case... Yes... I'm not sure. Okay, I'll send you the address!"
At this point, we might as well try anything, even if it seems hopeless!
If Officer Ma and his men simply stand in front of this shop, they might be able to help Lu Yi and reduce the troubles around him.
With that in mind, Lu Baozhi kept a close eye on what was happening in the shop.
Suddenly, she saw that the shop door was closed and several windows were completely covered by curtains, so she could no longer see inside.
At the same time, pedestrians stopped to watch.
At first, only two or three people were discussing it.
Before long, a huge crowd surged in front of the door, like a bustling market, completely blocking the street.
Lu Baozhi went downstairs with a puzzled look on her face and randomly grabbed a girl, asking, "What happened over there?"
The girl shook her head. "I don't know. I just saw everyone walking this way, so I followed!"
I asked several more people, but no one could give me a clear answer.
"Let's watch the excitement, who cares what it is!"
"You guys didn't know, did you? This place, Honey Sweet Ice Cream, had an incident before, and many delivery guys are unwilling to deliver to their store now."
"Didn't they say they'd change bosses the next day?"
"Who knows!"
"This shop might be haunted. Did they not perform a ritual of ancestor worship before opening it?"
"Nonsense! Do you really know or are you just pretending?"
Lu Baozhi squeezed into the crowd, straining her ears to listen. The more she listened, the colder her heart became, and she was pushed and shoved until she could barely breathe.
She held her bag with one hand and her abdomen with the other, and randomly squeezed her way out, finally reaching the edge of the street.
"Phew~~ It's out..."
Bang!
Before Lu Baozhi could finish speaking, the store's glass door shattered with a loud crash, and a figure crashed into the crowd!
It landed right where she had just been standing.
Seeing the person on the ground wearing a white shirt, Lu Baozhi's heart tightened. She brushed aside the person's hair and muttered, "Yi'er, Yi'er..."
Good heavens, that man had a face full of pockmarks, it gave her quite a fright!
Clang!
Another one flew in from behind. Lu Baozhi, still shaken, bent down to check, "Yi'er..."
No, not exactly.
It was unclear whether she was a girl dressed as a man or a boy with a somewhat gentle appearance; in any case, apart from the white t-shirt, she bore no resemblance to Lu Yi.
The crowd began to stir, and some people called the police.
Lu Baozhi looked at the seven or eight people groaning on the ground, and her heart gradually rose to her throat.
The onlookers were completely bewildered.
All eyes were drawn to the messy entrance.
Lu Yi rubbed his wrist and slowly walked out of the store. He squatted down in front of a burly man and patted him on the cheek.
"There are security cameras in the store, and they captured everything clearly..."
"Whether you confess here or wait until you're inside to tell your uncle, you should think it over carefully!"
Lu Baozhi's eyes were wide open, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. She was in a daze and could not understand what she had just heard.
He is... Lu Yi?
Is it that frail younger brother who was brought home by his parents more than half a year ago?
Why does it feel so unfamiliar?
Although the others didn't understand what had happened, they immediately understood the answer upon hearing Lu Yi's words.
"They're here to smash up the shop..."
"Surround them, don't let them escape!"
Three of them struggled to their feet, and seeing that they hadn't gained any advantage, they tried to make a quick getaway.
But there were people all around, surrounding the place like an iron tube; where could they escape to?
As soon as Officer Ma arrived, he detained the group of people without saying a word.
"We also need to retrieve the surveillance footage..."
He looked at Lu Yi with a look of surprise and disbelief, unable to believe that he had escaped unscathed despite being surrounded by so many thugs.
The store manager and staff are cleaning up the mess.
Lu Yi stepped aside to make way for the doorway, and when he looked up, he was surprised to find Lu Baozhi standing in the crowd, looking at him with a bewildered expression.
He lowered his gaze, pretending not to see, and turned to enter the store.
