Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Lu Hao and his group exchanged clothes with this group of people.

After changing their clothes, the group left the underground parking lot one after another, following a pre-planned route, and drove in different directions in the city.

After waiting for a while, Lu Hao and his group followed Lin Ran to a van parked nearby. Once everyone got in, they quietly left the parking lot and eventually arrived in the old town.

Lu Hao gazed at the familiar street scenes outside the window, his eyes somewhat dazed, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Although he had made preparations and planned his escape route, Lu Hao was still filled with apprehension in the face of the current unknown situation.

He was not afraid of being in danger, and he could accept it calmly even if he faced the retaliation from Shi Zhenxiang and his group.

But what he fears most is that the girls who have accompanied him all the way will get hurt.

Xiao Xiyue, Fang Ruoyun, Lin Ran, Zhou Mengmeng, Ning Shu, and Su Yu.

He couldn't imagine that if anything happened to any of them because of him, and they ended up lying in a cold hospital bed, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was extremely oppressive; everyone was lost in thought, and there was not a sound.

Even their breathing became unconsciously lighter, as if holding their breath would allow them to escape the ever-present danger outside.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, the bread truck gradually slowed down and finally stopped in front of an old residential building.

The group got out of the car one after another, and a cool evening breeze blew in their faces.

Lu Hao looked up at the building that was so familiar to him, raised an eyebrow, and turned to Lin Ran, "How did you find this place?"

"Doesn't it look strangely familiar?" Lin Ran's lips curled into a faint smile, his expression composed.

Zhou Mengmeng, standing nearby, glanced at the old building and couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this the building we used to rent?"

Lin Ran nodded calmly, "I bought that room."

Lu Hao was both amused and exasperated, never expecting Lin Ran's backup plan to be like this.

However, the situation was urgent, and it wasn't the time for sentimentality. He quickly composed himself and gestured to the others, "Don't stand downstairs in the wind, let's go upstairs quickly."

When everyone arrived on the seventh floor, Lin Ran took out his key from his pocket and opened the door.

Lu Hao walked in and looked at everything that hadn't changed, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

This unassuming old house holds so much of his past.

The mundane daily bickering and playful banter between Zeng Zhou and Mengmeng, and the warm and gentle moments when they were alone with Ning Shu—scene after scene floated into my mind, as if it all happened just yesterday.

"Wuhu! We're back!"

Zhou Mengmeng rushed into the living room, slumped onto the fabric sofa, crossed her legs, and struck a pose like the lady of the house, waving her hand arrogantly at Xiao Xiyue, Lin Ran, and Fang Ruoyun:

"Come on in, everyone, make yourselves at home!"

Xiao Xiyue was amused by her adorable appearance, walked over and sat down next to her, and jokingly said, "Hey Mengmeng, are you planning to experience being the mistress of the house?"

Zhou Mengmeng raised her chin, beaming with pride: "Sister Xiyue, look at me! Don't I have the aura of a matriarch?"

"Not at all." Xiao Xiyue shook her head and chuckled, leaning closer to her and patiently teasingly instructing her, "Keep a calm mindset, tone down your expressions, and don't always be so playful. A composed and reserved demeanor will make you appear dignified. You're being too flamboyant right now."

Lu Hao watched the two laughing and joking quietly, and most of the unease, anxiety and panic that had been building up in his heart dissipated.

He turned to look at Ning Shu, who was sitting quietly beside him, and said softly, "I'll go with you to help Su Yu get settled in her room to rest."

"Mmm," Ning Shu replied softly, following in Lu Hao's footsteps.

The two of them worked together to push Su Yu, who was in a wheelchair, into the bedroom where Zhou Mengmeng used to live.

At the same time, Lin Ran went straight to the kitchen, opened the cabinets to check the supplies, and began to prepare dinner for everyone.

Fang Ruoyun wandered around the house alone, from the living room to the balcony, and then to the bedroom.

A moment later, she returned to the living room, pulled over a plastic stool, and sat down against the coffee table. Her gaze fell on Xiao Xiyue, who was chatting with Zhou Mengmeng, and she began to tease her with interest:

"Honestly, I never imagined that one day I would be serving the same man as you."

Xiao Xiyue paused, turned her head to look at Fang Ruoyun, her eyes gentle, and smiled calmly: "From the moment you took the initiative to approach Lu Hao, the fates of all of us have long been intertwined."

Fang Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, her tone playful, "But your girlish demeanor is truly unexpected."

Xiao Xiyue remained calm and countered, "Don't you have one too?"

Fang Ruoyun frowned slightly, her face showing disdain, and said indifferently, "Laughable, how could I possibly be in your state?"

Seeing her stubbornness, Xiao Xiyue smiled helplessly, took out her phone, searched through her photo album for a moment, pulled up a short video, and handed it directly to Fang Ruoyun:

"Stubbornness won't help. See for yourself. I have to admit, the way you danced at the arcade was really good, much better than me."

Fang Ruoyun subconsciously looked down and saw a video of herself dancing in the arcade.

At that moment, her cheeks flushed instantly, turning a deep red, and she was so embarrassed that she scratched her toes on the ground.

She never expected that Lu Hao had actually recorded a video and even shared it with Xiao Xiyue.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Fang Ruoyun snorted coldly, turned her head away awkwardly, raised her chin haughtily, and refused to look at her phone again.

Xiao Xiyue put away her phone, her expression turning serious, and asked in a deep voice, "Approximately how long do we need to hide here?"

"I don't know either." Fang Ruoyun shook her head slightly and answered seriously, "The official paratroopers will arrive tomorrow to submit the evidence. We won't be safe until all those people have been arrested."

Xiao Xiyue blinked, lowered her head and fell into deep thought, calculating all the possible changes that might occur later.

Fang Ruoyun's gaze swept over Zhou Mengmeng, then looked at Xiao Xiyue who was deep in thought. Her emotions were mixed and complicated, and a deep sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

This whole thing started because of her, yet everyone has to hide with her and face a life-or-death crisis.

She remained silent for a long time, then slowed her speech and asked guiltily, "Won't you... blame me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiyue collected her thoughts and looked sincerely at Fang Ruoyun. "I have never blamed you. Without you, there would be no Yunhao Group today, and I would not be able to reunite with Lu Hao."

Zhou Mengmeng chimed in, "Sister Ruoyun, we're family, right? Family doesn't need to be so formal. Whether it's you or any of us who's in trouble, Lu Hao will make the same decision. So you don't need to feel guilty. We'll face it together."

Hearing what the two said, Fang Ruoyun's eyes were somewhat moved.

She hadn't expected that fitting in would be so easy...
