After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Seeing that she was only a few meters away from the entrance to the rooftop, Lan Yujuan tiptoed, afraid of disturbing the people on the rooftop.

Just as she slowly approached, squatted down, and was about to peek out to observe the situation on the rooftop, a series of muffled and hurried footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.

At the same time, there was also the sound of suppressed breathing.

Lan Yujuan was startled and turned around in surprise to look down. If she wasn't mistaken, someone was using the emergency exit and running up the stairs.

A runner is not only agile and fast, but can also make the noise of his footsteps as he runs up and down stairs.

Judging from the other person's breathing and the sound of their running footsteps, it should be an adult man.

In an instant, Lan Yujuan realized something was wrong!

If the man rushing up now is part of the other side's gang, she fears she won't only fail to save them, but she might also perish here.

In the midst of the chaos, Lan Yujuan was caught in a dilemma, and could only look around for a place to hide.

Fortunately, she actually found a suitable place!

The door leading to the rooftop was open at the moment, with a key in the lock, and there was a place behind the door where someone could hide.

Without thinking twice, Lan Yujuan reached out and pulled the key off the door, then slipped behind it.

At the same time, she gently placed the fire extinguisher behind her feet, then took out pepper spray from her pocket, remaining vigilant at all times.

Soon, the footsteps downstairs grew closer and closer. With only one floor left, the man who had been rushing up suddenly stopped and, just like she had done, began to adjust his breathing downstairs, slowing his pace even further.

At this point, Lan Yujuan became even more nervous, her throat even starting to go dry, and she thought to herself:

Could it be that the other party has excellent eyesight in the dark and has already discovered her hiding place?

Her heart began to beat faster involuntarily, and she gripped her "self-defense tool" in her hand, ready at any moment.

Then, just a few steps from the door, the man's footsteps stopped again.

He kept a wary eye on the rooftop outside the door while taking out his phone and quickly sending a message.

The moment the phone's light shone on, Lan Yujuan finally saw that face clearly through the gap beside her!

"Ah Le! What brings you here?" Lan Yujuan lowered her voice and quickly slipped out from behind the door.

Although her voice was very soft, no one else could hear it except the two of them.

But the moment she suddenly appeared, Li Le was startled and jumped high into the air, almost dropping his phone.

Fortunately! Li Le was quite agile. In the instant he jumped up in fright, he didn't forget to grab his phone, and he didn't scream like a girl.

"Shh! It's me!" Lan Yujuan quickly lowered her voice and leaned closer so that he could see her clearly by the light of her phone.

"Sister-in-law, I know it's you!" Li Le said in a low voice as he put his phone back in his pocket.

"Brother Mo just called me and told me to come to the rooftop to find you right away!"

"Although they didn't say anything specific, they only told me to find you, protect you, and listen to you!"

After hearing this, Lan Yujuan probably understood.

If Chen Mo mentions Qin Shuyi, the child might act impulsively.

That's fine too. Listen to yourself and take it slow.

As long as the other party doesn't bully Qin Shuyi, she can wait until Chen Mo arrives before dealing with this matter...

"Sister-in-law, what should we do next? What are you doing on the rooftop in the dark?"

Li Le didn't understand why she came up here.

But seeing that she was hiding and speaking in a low voice, as if afraid of being exposed, I could roughly guess that it was something she couldn't let others find out.

Lan Yujuan was still thinking about how to carry out this matter.

After all, she had met Li Chun's two older brothers when she returned to the village to sweep the tombs and pay respects to her ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

At that time, Li Chun's two older brothers were squatting in front of their yard eating their rice bowls.

As Lan Yujuan came out of the ancestral hall and was about to get into the car, the two men kept staring at her.

If I go out now and they recognize me, it will definitely alert them.

But Li Le was different. He was a completely unfamiliar face and quite young, at the age when he was most playful.

Thinking of this, Lan Yujuan immediately handed a bag of fireworks and a box of matches to Li Le, and whispered in a low voice:

"Wait a minute, you deliberately make a lot of noise and go set off fireworks in the open space on the rooftop!"

"If someone comes looking for you, as long as you can ensure your safety, try to confront them, stall them, and prevent them from calling for backup, understand?"

Li Le understood immediately and nodded vigorously, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand!"

"But sister-in-law, you want me to lure them out and hold them off, so what are you planning to do?"

"Brother Mo said he wanted me to come up here to help you and follow your instructions, but the prerequisite is that your safety must be guaranteed first!"

Lan Yujuan reached out and patted his arm, saying earnestly:

"Don't worry, if there's anyone on the rooftop, it should only be that one person."

"As long as you can hold him off, everything I do next will be safe, understand?"

After listening, Li Le nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand!"

However, when he saw the firework in his hand clearly, he hesitated and whispered:

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to set off fireworks on the roof?"

"What if, I mean, what if the fireworks set the house on fire?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately turned around, pulled out a fire extinguisher from behind the door, and solemnly handed it to him.

"Don't worry, with this, there won't be any problems!"

Besides, she had been squatting by the door and had a pretty good look at the whole place; there was absolutely nothing in this open area that could fuel a fire.

After receiving the task, Li Le picked up his things and went out without hesitation.

To attract attention, he even played music on his phone before setting off fireworks, singing as he lit cigarettes.

Sure enough, just as the fireworks started, there was a clattering sound from the direction of the storage room next door, and soon a figure came out.

The man hurriedly fastened his belt while cursing as he headed towards Li Le's direction.

"Hey! What are you doing, kid?"

"What are you doing on the rooftop so late at night? Get down there right now, you hear me!"
