Lu An'an's eyes were vacant.
[After the fundraising channel for this brain cancer patient was opened, the third brother donated a considerable amount of money. Because the patient's husband had been causing trouble at the hospital, the matter attracted the attention of netizens. The pressure from public opinion was too great, and there were too many people paying attention. The hospital had to do everything in its power and handle the situation with extreme caution, but the brain cancer patient still died on the operating table.]
[Her husband couldn't handle the blow and blamed everything on my third brother. He secretly planned to kidnap him and then even went live on camera, severing my third brother's tendons on the spot.]
Lu Yanli and Fu Zhiyan's gazes fell on the dazed Lu Xunran, their eyes revealing deep sympathy.
Oh no, the second most tragic villain in the Lu family has been born!
Lu An'an recalled Lu Xunran's words just now, and her eyes involuntarily darkened.
I remember the hospital's initial explanation was that the surgery failed due to the attending physician's error. Then, a picture suddenly circulated online—a candid photo of my third brother, exhausted, emerging from the operating room. It was because of that photo that netizens and the patient's husband turned their anger towards my brother.
Lu An'an's eyes narrowed dangerously.
[But now the surgery has already begun, and the surgeon is Zhou Huai. In other words, it was Zhou Huai who killed that brain cancer patient, making my third brother the scapegoat.]
Lu Xunran grew angrier and more alarmed as he listened. He stood up abruptly, completely ignoring Lu An'an's surprised gaze and Fu Zhiyan's wink reminding him not to act impulsively.
He quickly pulled out his phone, angrily dialed his older brother's number, and said in a forceful voice, "Brother! Get your brother a hundred bodyguards right now! Otherwise, your brother's going to be dead!"
Fu Zhiyan: "..."
What's it like to have a terrible teammate?
Lu Yanli: "!!!"
Hey! You brute!
Lu An'an: "?"
[Third Brother... what do you mean?]
Lu Xunran paused on the phone, suddenly realizing what a stupid thing he had done. He stiffly met three pairs of eyes with different emotions, the phone in his hand caught in a dilemma: whether to hang up or not.
Inside, the air seemed to freeze, and tension and subtle tension intertwined into an invisible net that made it hard to breathe.
Just then, Lu Wenjing's voice rang out from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of mockery and indifference: "What? Your life-or-death crisis has arrived? Tell me, how did you die?"
These words amplified the surrounding tranquility even further.
Lu Wenjing, who hadn't heard Lu Xunran's voice for a long time on the other end of the phone, thought for a moment and instantly realized that his foolish younger brother must have acted recklessly again. Without thinking too much, he quickly said, "I'm on my way," and then hurriedly hung up the phone.
Lu Xunran held her phone, seemingly frozen in place, her mind racing.
You're so dense! Come up with a reason already!
Lu Yanli and Fu Zhiyan were also stiff and dared not breathe, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Lu An'an's gaze slowly swept over the three stiff people, and as if thinking of something, her eyes darkened.
A brief silence spread through the air, like the calm before a storm.
She chuckled inwardly, feigning ignorance, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Third Brother, why did you hire so many bodyguards? To cause trouble at the hospital?"
Lu Xunran carefully observed his sister's puzzled expression, which seemed genuine. He casually made up an excuse, trying to get away with it: "Oh, that? Actually, it's a game. Yes, a game about conquering cities. I'm stuck in a city and can't get out, so I asked your older brother to bring the brothers to help me break into the city together."
Lu An'an nodded as if she suddenly realized something, "Oh, it's a game. I almost thought my third brother had special abilities!"
Lu Xunran swallowed hard, his smile stiffening: "Little sister is just joking, hahaha..."
Lu An'an's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her lips was just right.
Fu Zhiyan quietly watched Lu An'an's every move. Then, he silently moved a little further away from Lu Yanli and closer to Lu An'an, gently touching her hand like a submissive wife.
Lu An'an suddenly turned her head and saw Fu Zhiyan looking at her with wet, innocent eyes, his fingers carefully climbing onto her hand.
She snorted inwardly but didn't move.
Fu Zhiyan's eyes lit up. He quietly moved forward a few more inches, tightly gripped Lu An'an's hand, and obediently remained silent.
Lu An'an glanced at the guilty-looking Lu Yanli and Lu Xunran, and began to think deeply.
[The person who wanted to harm Third Brother gave that husband five million to achieve their conspiracy in one fell swoop. But now Lu Rongyu is in prison, and Gu Tingyan isn't the male lead and doesn't have any ill intentions towards our Lu family. This plot still happened, which means that someone was still pushing this plot forward.]
[I initially thought Zhao Junyi had become the male lead, but according to my senior sister, Pei Sheng is the true male lead. Zhao Junyi did things that only a male lead would do, meaning he, like Gu Tingyan, also received the male lead's fortune bestowed upon them by Pei Sheng. Therefore, the one who orchestrated this scheme is inextricably linked to Pei Sheng, Zhao Junyi, and Zhou Huai, whom my third brother mentioned.]
Lu An'an tapped her fingers lightly on her knees, observing Lu Xunran discreetly.
[We really need to find a way to protect my third brother while also sending a warning to these three. My third brother's idea of calling in reinforcements in the game is pretty good; we could really hire a hundred bodyguards to cause a scene. The bigger the commotion, the less likely they are to lay a hand on my third brother in public.]
