Before Ling Chuan could say anything, Lu An added, "Speaking of which, if Grandpa hadn't deliberately pretended to be sick to delay me, and if I wasn't still busy with a few other things, I would have gone to meet them earlier."

How should she put it? Perhaps it was because she had spent too much time in all sorts of dark worlds, but after suddenly returning to this peaceful reality, she felt a little… bored?

That was right, bored.

Ling Chuan: "…" Sure enough, this little girl was as adventurous and eager to learn as always!

If it were anyone else, they would probably be scared to death to have a violent debt collector for a father.

But this was also good.

"What time did you arrange to meet? Have you had dinner? Do you want me to go with you?"

Ling Chuan threw out a few questions.

"Hehehe…" Lu An laughed dryly.

What arrangement? All she had was an address, and she also hadn't bought a phone yet. Thus, she had come alone.

What dinner? She had been feeling hungry since two hours ago.

As for whether she wanted him to go with her…

"Brother, can you treat me to a meal?

"I can tell with one look that you're doing well and have a proper job. Although your brain isn't very good, your looks are outstanding enough, so you must be earning quite a lot, right? How about… hehe~

"I only have 10 yuan left."

The little girl pouted and took out the remaining 10 yuan from her pocket. Her black eyes were sad and pitiful.

Her face was soft and cute, just like that of a puppy on the roadside, begging to be picked up and coddled.

Ling Chuan couldn't help bursting into laughter. This little girl was as adorable as ever!

His large palm rubbed the little girl's head. Ling Chuan hailed a cab and took her to eat.

Not far away, Cong Hua was shocked. That… that was his master?

"Hey, 110? I think my master has been possessed!"

…

The Lu family's two-story bungalow.

After eating and drinking her fill, and Ling Chuan forcing his personal phone on her, Lu An stood outside the door. It was dark all around, and no one opened the door for a long time.

What was going on? It was so late at night, but none of the six members of the family had returned?

Could it be that they were preparing something novel to "welcome" her?

Heh, then allow her to enter first and have a look around!

The young lady smiled slightly and took out an extremely thin steel wire from her bag. Twisting it a few times, she leaned against the door lock.

Just as she was about to put the wire in the keyhole —

"Who's there? How dare you sneak into my house?"

Suddenly, there was a harsh growl behind Lu An, followed by the swift and violent sound of the wind. Lu An came back to her senses and grabbed the long broom that was already swinging right at her.

As the motion sensor lights lit up above their heads, two figures, one tall and one short, stared at each other.

"Lu… Lu Xiao?"

In the end, it was still Lu An who broke the silence.

The man in front of her was about 50 years old. He was tall and couldn't be considered fat, but had a huge frame. His shoulders were wide and sturdy-looking. He was dressed in a tailored grayish-brown, gold-trimmed suit. His hair was a little messy, and he looked like a scholar from the seventies or eighties. He was scowling fiercely, and the hands holding the broom were firm and strong. He did indeed look like someone who enjoyed using force.

He was wearing a pair of old leather shoes, with soles that were pretty worn; perhaps they had sentimental value?

"You know me?

"Who are you?"

Lu Xiao raised his chin slightly and said the words aggressively. His deep eyes were filled with impatience as he sized Lu An up.

The girl was about 17 or 18 years old. She was of medium height and was slightly thin. Her skin was quite fair, and he would be able to flatten her tiny face with a slap.

"Why are you…"

Lu Xiao opened his mouth to question her again.

"Lu An!

"I'm Lu An!"
