Everyone held their breath and watched Zhou Fang slowly approach the woods, their hearts pounding!
Lu An'an's gaze was fixed on Zhou Fang, and she prayed in her heart.
God help him, he has to get in!
The others who were wary of Zhou Fang's intrusion, and who overheard his thoughts: ?
Did An'an forget to say "no"?
Almost everyone was watching Zhou Fang nervously, except for Lu An'an, who was excited and curious, her eyes fixed on Zhou Fang with bright eyes.
[Here he comes! Let me take a closer look and see who's more handsome, him or Uncle Fu!]
Lu Yanli: ??? Shouldn't the focus right now be on whether to knock Zhou Fang unconscious or just gag him and beat him up if Zhou Fang finds out about them? How come my sister is in the mood to care about who's more handsome between the two of them?
Lu An'an was unaware of her father's and brothers' astonishment and confusion. She was rubbing her hands together, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
Come on in, hehehe!
Lu Yanli shuddered and shivered. How did his sister suddenly become so abnormal?
However, at this critical moment, a clear, cold voice came from the archway again.
What are you looking for inside?
Zhou Fang paused, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, yet he couldn't help but cast one last glance into the depths of the forest. Reason quickly pulled him back to reality; he knew that if Bai Xuxu waited too long, she might follow him in, and if she discovered the secrets of the forest, the price he would pay would be unbearable.
So he slowly withdrew his steps, and as he turned around, a slightly stiff smile quickly appeared on his face. He shook his head gently and said in a mild tone, "I wasn't looking for anything, Xuxu. It's so late, let me take you back to your room."
In order to get Zhou Fang away from the forest, Bai Xuxu softly hummed in agreement, granting Zhou Fang's request for the first time ever.
Zhou Fang was pleasantly surprised, all his doubts were forgotten. His eyes were smiling, and his voice was full of undisguised excitement: "Xuxu, you really agreed?"
Bai Xuxu said impatiently, "If you don't want to, I'll go back myself."
Zhou Fang quickly waved her hand, smiling broadly, afraid of missing this rare opportunity to travel together: "I'm willing, Xuxu, let's go."
Bai Xuxu didn't say anything more, but quickly left the archway. Zhou Fang quickly followed, but he was still careful and gave a look to the bodyguard who was behind him before leaving the spot with Bai Xuxu.
As the voices of the two men faded into the distance, the people in the woods gradually relaxed.
Lu An'an clicked her tongue in slight regret.
[Sigh, I thought he'd come in.]
Lu Mingqian, Lu Wenjing, Lu Yanli: ...Come in so you can compare who's more handsome, right?
Fu Zhiyan: Why bother focusing on who's more handsome, his father or Zhou Fang? Neither of them can compare to him anyway, so you might as well watch him!
Jin Fangguo spoke up at the opportune moment, quietly asking, "What are everyone's thoughts?"
Lu Wenjing lightly touched the phone screen with his fingertip, and the screen lit up, reflecting his focused face. He slowly handed the phone to everyone, and the information on the screen was particularly clear in the dim light. "I just looked up this place. It's located in the back mountain, far from the Fu family's old house. Four years ago, that mountain was taken over, and a year later, a mansion resembling an ancient building was built here. Since then, the back mountain has been surrounded by high walls and isolated from the world."
His gaze swept across Fu Zhiyan's face with a deep intensity, and he slowly revealed his speculation: "I guess Zhou Fang booked this mountain back then to kidnap your mother."
Fu Zhiyan nodded slightly, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, "I just don't know when Zhou Fang got this idea."
He turned to Fu Linzhou and asked, "Dad, you and Zhou Fang are such good friends, have you noticed that he has such thoughts?"
Fu Linzhou was silent for a moment, then said with some embarrassment and annoyance, "Ahem, no!"
Lu An'an secretly rolled her eyes.
[That's a terrible question from the main villain. If his father had known Zhou Fang had such intentions, would he still have been such a loyal friend for so many years? Wouldn't he have stabbed Zhou Fang in the back long ago?]
Fu Zhiyan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Oh no, An'an looked down on him.
Jin Yan lightly touched his chin with his finger, "Never mind that for now. The most important thing is to figure out the layout of this place and how many people are here, so we can rescue your aunt."
Lu Yanli's expression was solemn as he added, "When Zhou Fang left just now, I wonder if he left anyone at the door, and how many people were there."
After a moment's thought, Lu Mingqian suggested, "Shall we send someone out to take a look?"
"What are you looking at? Are you checking if anyone's at the door? I brought him here."
Everyone was stunned and turned to look, only to see Lu An'an standing at the entrance of the forest, carrying a bodyguard in each of her hands.
Everyone gasped, exchanging bewildered glances. When had An'an disappeared from their side? Wasn't she just complaining about Fu Zhiyan a moment ago?
For a moment, an incredibly subtle atmosphere filled the air.
Lu An'an looked at the group of people who were still standing there in the woods, puzzled.
Why aren't they coming out yet? Do they like the dark, eerie atmosphere of the forest?
Fu Zhiyan snapped out of his daze, quickly left the woods, took the two people from Lu An'an's hands and tossed them to the ground, his tone revealing a hint of tenderness and concern: "Why didn't you call me? Your hands must be tired."
The others who came out behind him stumbled. Although his sister was indeed very capable, wasn't this kid's perception a bit too much? Where did he get the idea that he had exhausted An'an's hands? She was perfectly fine!
