Ye Lan was fine. He had learned about the Lu family's situation before coming here. In addition, the life in Xuanzong was even more luxurious than here, so he was very calm and composed.
This made everyone in the special department secretly admire her strong willpower.
The butler personally led them into the main hall, stopped in front of a set of golden nanmu sofas, and bowed slightly to the lady sitting in the main armchair.
"Ma'am, the special department has arrived."
Hearing this, the lady raised her eyes slightly, and a hint of nobility appeared on her well-maintained and graceful face.
"You guys are here? Where's Agent Li from last time?"
While he was talking, he didn't stand up and was very arrogant.
At this time, Li Weiwei came out with her lips covered, her eyes curved into crescents, and said obediently: "Mrs. Lu, I'm here. A passerby who just came here had an accident. Now I'm a little untidy. Please forgive me."
Seeing this, Madam Lu nodded with satisfaction and said gently, "It's okay. You always know the rules and know when to advance and retreat. Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed Yan'er's affairs over to you. Come, sit over and chat with me."
"Okay." Li Weiwei was delighted and immediately took small steps forward and sat on a square stool next to her.
Shi Feng frowned slightly when he saw her acting like a wealthy young wife. He took the initiative to say, "Madam Lu, we specially invited the master to come here. Time is precious, so please allow me to introduce the situation first."
Mrs. Lu was a little unhappy at the interruption of her reception process, but when she heard that it concerned her son, she immediately put aside her emotions and nodded, "Where is the master? Let me see him."
The tone of a servant ordering someone around.
Shi Feng was speechless, fearing he might anger the girl. He quickly stepped back, gestured for her to come in, and introduced, "Master Ye, this is the mistress of the Lu family. She's the one who asked us to come and solve the case of her youngest son being trapped."
Ye Lan didn't make things difficult for him. He walked over to the front of the group with Ah Yue, briefly greeted Madam Lu, and then sat directly in the guest seat on the lower left. "Although I have read the information before, Madam, please explain in detail the process of your son's entrapment and try to make sure there are no omissions."
Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with her overly casual dress and attitude, especially since she was so young, and was reluctant to speak at the moment.
Li Weiwei watched from the side, feeling a little delighted. She took the initiative to pull Madam Lu over and said softly, "Madam, please calm down. Just treat it as something you said to me. I'm also very curious about where that golden cup came from."
Seeing her lowered brows and compliant eyes, Mrs. Lu felt relieved and praised her, "You are so gentle and virtuous. Children nowadays really don't understand the respect for elders. Come, let me tell you the story again..."
Who can't hear the blatant irony?
In an instant, A Yue, who was standing beside Ye Lan, released a trace of Yin energy, wanting to strangle Mrs. Lu's neck and teach her a lesson.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and a cold wind blew into the living room, lifting the curtains and making them fly everywhere.
Everyone was shocked.
"Ah! Did that thing escape?!" Mrs. Lu was so scared that her face turned pale. She subconsciously rushed over to grab Li Weiwei, but accidentally scratched her face, making her injuries worse.
However, the people from the special department who were closest to the area all felt the source of the Yin energy, and they all looked terrified but did not dare to draw their guns.
Because I know I can't win, I can only complain in my heart.
At this time, Ye Lan gently raised his hand, bent his knuckles and tapped the armrest of the chair, and the gloomy wind in the room suddenly stopped.
"Be good." She said this with her head slightly tilted.
Upon hearing this, A Yue pouted and didn't move. Even if she was not obedient, she couldn't beat Ye Lan.
Mrs. Lu didn't hear it. She let go of Li Weiwei with lingering fear after the cold wind stopped. Just as she was about to ask something, she was speechless because of the ugly pig-headed face in front of her.
Li Weiwei realized that she had forgotten to cover her mouth, and explained in panic: "I was injured on the way here just now."
"Forget it, forget it. No need to explain. Let me tell you what happened." Mrs. Lu let go of her and her attitude became a little colder. In addition, she was frightened just now, so she didn't delay any longer and went straight to talking about the strange things that happened at home a month ago.
The Lu family lives by the Yellow River and made their fortune by digging for jade and gold in the riverbed. Later, the family grew and became a leader in the industry, and was very prestigious.
Three days ago, river workers discovered that a section of the riverbed had sunk and dried up. Thinking it was a bad omen, they hurried to report it. The Lu family then sent people to investigate the scene, and they unexpectedly dug up a huge golden bowl.
The pure gold cup was priceless and was buried deep at the bottom of the river. It was an antique from an unknown dynasty. The head of the Lu family attached great importance to it, so he gathered people and brought the golden cup back to the Lu family.
Because Grandpa Lu had set a family rule that anything brought ashore from the river was not allowed to enter the house, but too many people saw the golden bowl at that time, and the head of the Lu family was really afraid of being robbed, so he secretly hid the thing in the attic without telling Grandpa.
They were originally going to ask someone to appraise the items the next day and send them to the auction house, but that night a shrill scream was heard.
The servant downstairs recognized the young master's voice and rushed upstairs but couldn't find anyone. After searching for a long time, he confirmed that the cry came from the attic.
The head of the Lu family led people up to check. As soon as they entered the room, they saw that their son's legs had been sucked into the golden bowl. He kept struggling and begging for mercy, his face full of fear. In the end, he was sucked in alive.
"It's been two days. My little treasure must be hungry in there. You should quickly find a way to save him. What's the point of knowing so much about these things? Just tell me how much money you want. My Lu family can afford it."
After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she immediately urged people to rescue people, and she looked like a wealthy person with no shortage of money.
Shi Feng disliked her arrogance, but was also afraid that Ah Yue would get angry again, so he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mysterious cases are more dangerous than ordinary cases, so we need to understand them thoroughly. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, Madam Lu said impatiently, "If it's not dangerous, why would I look for you? You've been wasting time. Are you not capable enough? That's right, look at who you're looking for to solve the problem."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Lan, her eyes full of suspicion and disdain.
Not only does she look seductive, but she's also so young. If you tell others, no one would believe she's a master.
She was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the special department.
Shi Feng was shocked. Just as he was about to tell Ye Lan about her amazing deeds, he suddenly heard the cold and distant voice of the girl.
"Now that you've said that, let's go up and take a look."
Huh?
The people in the special department all turned to look at the girl, and were very surprised at her surrender, but Mrs. Lu had already stood up and walked out of the living room. They didn't ask any more questions and could only quickly follow her.
Ye Lan also stood up and walked slowly.
At this time, Ah Yue, who had turned into the second courtyard, sniffed and asked in confusion, "Why do I smell the scent of incense? And the one being worshipped isn't a proper deity."
