Lu An'an instinctively took a few steps back, looking at the two people who had suddenly appeared with a look of "horror." She seemed frightened and said in a trembling voice, "Where...where did you come from?"
The two men ignored her question, only raising their voices and continuing to shoo her away in an unyielding manner, even shoving Lu An'an: "Stop talking nonsense! This isn't a place for you. Didn't you see the warning? Bears are on the loose, get out of here!"
Lu An'an was swayed by the sudden force and staggered a few steps before finally hiding behind Lu Yanli. She said aggrievedly, "Brother, they scared me."
[Dad, if the security cameras weren't still on, I would have given those two a good beating. How dare they talk to their grandma like that!]
Lu Yanli's lips twitched slightly. It seemed that the camera was really hindering his sister's performance.
He raised his head, glaring at the two people, protecting Lu An'an with one hand, his tone filled with undeniable anger: "You can talk if you want, but why are you pushing people! Besides, we're here as part of the show to complete a task! What kind of attitude is this!"
Upon hearing Lu Yanli's words, the two men exchanged a subtle glance, their attitude softening slightly, but they still said curtly, "There are no tasks for you here, so leave now."
Lu Yanli feigned disbelief, "There are people guarding this place, it must be some kind of hidden mission. Tell me, are there any conditions for completing it?"
The other party was clearly annoyed by Lu Yanli's insistence. "There really is no mission here. You should go back quickly. The sign is true. There are bears here, which is why we are arranged to take turns guarding the area. It's just to ensure the safety of the villagers and to deliver early warning information in a timely manner."
"You don't believe me, you..."
Lu An'an gently tugged at Lu Yanli and whispered, "Second brother, let's go. There might really be none. Let's go back."
Lu Yanli put his mind at ease, glared at the two of them, grabbed Lu An'an, and turned to leave.
"Hmph, let's go, let's talk to the village chief!"
Lu An'an followed Lu Yanli's lead and walked forward. She glanced back at the two men and found that they had disappeared back into the shadows.
She withdrew her gaze, her eyelids lowered slightly, and a look of seriousness flashed in her eyes.
Judging from how cautious they are, that area must be their base. Looks like I'll have to hint to the director tonight to turn off the cameras and check back here again.
Lu Yanli unconsciously tightened his grip on Lu An'an's wrist, deep in thought, he resolved to stay close to his sister and protect her well.

Beijing, Lu's CEO's office.
"Ring ring—"
Lu Wenjing gently picked up the vibrating phone on the table with his slender fingers and answered the call.
Hello?
He flipped through the documents, casually waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to speak.
"Madam Lu is in Yunling Village."
Lu Wenjing's hand, which was flipping through the documents, suddenly stopped. His eyes sharpened instantly, and his voice was filled with coldness: "Who are you?"
However, all he got in response was the busy tone of the phone being disconnected.
Lu Wenjing held his phone, watching the live stream on his computer, his eyes dark and unreadable.
After a long while, he stood up and turned on the dial.
"Book me a plane ticket to Jiaozhou City now."

On the other side, Lu An'an and Lu Yanli returned to the foot of the mountain with their own thoughts. Their eyes unexpectedly met those of Gu Tingyan and Gu Shichuan, who were waiting there, and they saw that the two brothers had unusually solemn expressions.
Lu An'an and Lu Yanli exchanged a glance, walked over, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?"
Gu Tingyan's gaze fell deeply on Lu An'an, and he slowly said, "When we got there, Uncle Niu's door was not closed. We pushed the door open and looked around, and found that apart from Lu Yixuan, who was lying unconscious on the bed, Uncle Niu, Li Chunhua, and Lu Rongyu were all gone."
Lu An'an froze on the spot, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Lu Rongyu has disappeared?!"
[How could that be? Although the storyline of the variety show has completely changed because of me, how could the female lead disappear?]
She frowned, pondering what was wrong. Suddenly, her conversation with Lu Rongyu at the police station flashed into her mind, and her pupils contracted sharply, a sense of foreboding rising within her.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu An'an quickly found the tracker and entered the name of Old Madam Lu and the search instructions.
Staring at the coordinates, Lu An'an's heart sank.
[Oh no! Grandma is actually within this village! We have to find Lu Rongyu right away!]
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanli's heart tightened. His grandmother was actually here. If Lu Rongyu was not seen, wouldn't that be detrimental to his grandmother?
Lu An'an looked up, her gaze heavy and inscrutable, and asked Gu Tingyan in a steady voice, "Where are the others?"
Gu Tingyan said in a serious tone: "Everyone else has gone to find the village chief. They should all be at the village chief's house now."
Before she finished speaking, Lu An'an had already run towards the village chief's house. The three of them followed closely behind and started running as well.
When the four of them ran to the village chief's house, they found that the door was wide open. Lu An'an rushed in and her eyes turned sharp when she saw the situation in the yard.
The three who followed were all astonished to see the guests lying haphazardly in the courtyard.
"What...what's going on?"
Lu An'an pursed her lips, used the tracker to locate the village chief, and then said in an unyielding tone, "Come with me, we'll go find the village chief first."
She stepped lightly across the threshold and called out to customer service.
