After Lu An'an and Lu Xunran returned home, Lu Wenjing summoned them to his study.
He gently turned the computer screen on the table toward the two of them, lightly touched the mouse, and played a video. "This is the video they sent me today."
Lu Wenjing's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable gravity: "The old lady went to Yuemanlou Teahouse alone today, without Lu Rongyu, and didn't come out until an hour later."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xunran's brows furrowed in deep thought. He stared at the blurry yet familiar figure on the screen and asked in a low voice, "Didn't they follow us in?"
Lu Wenjing sighed softly, shook his head, and explained, "This teahouse is members-only; you need identification to get in. My people can't get in."
Lu Xunran's eyes gleamed with a deep light as he slowly uttered his conjecture: "The old lady has been frequently traveling to Yuncheng these past few years, so this teahouse is probably a big problem."
Lu An'an's gaze was fixed on the antique-style teahouse in the video, and a hint of doubt unconsciously appeared between her delicate brows.
[This teahouse doesn't seem to appear in the novel. Did they really just go in for a cup of tea?]
Hearing Lu An'an's thoughts, Lu Xunran thought for a moment and asked, "An'an, when the old lady comes back, do you want to try hypnotizing her?"
Lu An'an pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Hypnosis might not be able to elicit any information. If there's a problem with the teahouse, things might turn out the same as before."
Lu Xunran nodded. That's true. Li Hao and Old Madam Lu are both this master's people. If the teahouse is related to the master, it must also have taboo words set.
Lu Wenjing asked curiously, "What do you mean by hypnosis?"
Lu Xunran then told his older brother about the unexpected situation that occurred during the interrogation of Li Hao at the base today.
Lu Wenjing narrowed his deep eyes slightly, "This master is very cautious in his actions."
Lu Xuran and Lu An'an nodded in agreement.
The three remained silent in the study for a long time. After a while, Lu Wenjing broke the silence: "I will continue to follow up on this matter."
He thought of the phone call he received that morning and asked Lu An'an, "By the way, An'an, your second brother said he's taking you to participate in a variety show tomorrow, is that true?"
Lu An'an nodded obediently, "He really is my older brother."
Lu Wenjing raised his hand and patted Lu An'an's head, saying softly, "Then go ahead and play if you want. Take good care of yourself. Leave everything to your second brother. Don't overwork yourself."
Lu An'an smiled sweetly, "Okay, big brother, I won't be polite to second brother."

The next morning, as dawn broke, Lu An'an and Lu Yanli arrived at the recording site of the variety show in their van. However, after getting out of the car, they looked at the empty harbor and stared at each other in bewilderment.
"Second brother, are you sure the address is correct?"
Lu Yanli looked at the navigation map on the screen, which perfectly matched the location sent by the director, and asked in confusion, "That's right, it's this port. Did we arrive too early?"
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an rolled her eyes. "Second brother, with your dawdling pace, it's already a miracle we're not late. You should probably check if you've remembered the date wrong."
Lu Yanli was speechless after being choked by his sister. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he could only lower his head awkwardly and confirm the date again, "That's right, it's today... Huh?" Before he could finish speaking, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the strange scene in the distance.
Suddenly, a dozen or so men in black appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the two of them.
Lu Yanli frowned slightly, his tone tinged with uncertainty: "Sister, given the situation... I think we might need to make our escape first?"
The brother and sister exchanged a knowing glance, turned around in unison, quickly threw their suitcases aside, and ran away as fast as they could.
Lu An'an glanced back at the swarm of men in black chasing after her, and shouted in terror as she ran, "No, don't chase a weak woman like me! Chase my second brother! My second brother is rich!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanli swayed slightly, his steps becoming somewhat unsteady due to this sudden "betrayal." "Lu An'an! I'm your own brother! How could you betray me like this?"
Lu An'an glanced at Lu Yanli innocently, her tone helpless: "Second brother, even husbands and wives flee when disaster strikes, we're just siblings, why are you still worrying about whether we're close or not!"
Lu Yanli laughed angrily: "Fine, fine, so you want to play this game? Don't chase me! Chase my sister! My sister is worth more than me!"
The two men shouted so loudly that the sound was clearly transmitted to the earpiece of the black-clad man who had caught up from behind.
Live stream room: ......
[My brother Yan and his sister's entrance was truly unique.]
[I'm hallucinating about myself and my dog-like brother.]
[Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard I'm rolling on the floor! My brother and sister are such a love-hate couple! I'm already looking forward to it!]
Five minutes later, the brother and sister were blindfolded and their hands were tied before being put onto the cruise ship.
Lu An'an was dragged along by the man in black for a while, and then she felt like she was tied to a pillar again. She tried to talk to the man in black: "Big brother, you didn't sell my brother, did you? Why can't I hear my brother's voice anymore?"
She was met with endless silence.
Lu An'an: "......"
[It was so exciting right from the start, but in the end, I still have to rely on myself.]
Lu An'an fumbled to remove her blindfold, and her vision gradually cleared.
She was currently in a closed room, directly opposite a roller shutter door, with various graffiti on the walls. She looked down at the lock on her wrist and tried to open it, but to no avail.
She could only turn her attention to the roller shutter door, dragging the chain to it. After looking around, she found a red button in an inconspicuous corner. Lu An'an pressed it, and the roller shutter door slowly rose, revealing the people in the opposite room.
