Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Seeing Lu Qiu's gesture, Xia Wange looked at him strangely, "What's wrong? Is your throat uncomfortable too?"

Lu Qiu: "???"

"What? Your throat hurts?"

"Hmm." Xia Wange cleared her throat. "I think I hurt something while eating seafood yesterday, and I have ulcers in my mouth."

Lu Qiu, whose mood had been heavy all day: "..."

Xia Wange sighed deeply, "It seems my senior brother prepared seafood for our whole dorm, but I had to take leave from school, and seafood doesn't keep well overnight, so I had to eat it all myself. My body may be young, but it's still not strong enough."

Lu Qiu recalled the seafood that his senior brother had asked the restaurant to prepare yesterday, and fell silent once again.

It's amazing how resilient she is. She ate so much at once, and all she got were a few ulcers. Her body is truly young and resilient.

"What's in this bag?" Lu Qiu asked, raising a single eyebrow.

"This?" Xia Wange opened the bag. "These are the lock-picking tools I prepared for you, and this is a door-prying tool. And inside this is a collection of videos on how to pry doors open."

Lu Qiu: "?"

"Me?" Lu Qiu pointed to himself.

"You can learn to pick locks and slip through doors in no time, can't you?" Xia Wange took out the tools.

Lu Qiu: "..."

These words were supposed to be a compliment, but they sounded like an insult to him.

Although he has lived with Xia Wange for many years and has experienced many pitfalls, he is still choked by Xia Wange's new remarks.

The old pits are over, but the new ones are still on their way, and it's impossible to guard against them all.

The only thing he's improved at over the years is his ability to accept new challenges; he's only slightly surprised before accepting them calmly.

Lu Qiu took the MP4, turned it on, and clicked on the tutorial on unlocking security doors. "You should have shown it to me sooner."

"There are still about three hours until the predicted time. If you learn it now, what will you do then? How boring." Xia Wange stretched and pointed to another bedroom door a little further away. "Look, do you see that door? I had someone install it yesterday. It's the same kind of security door as my senior brother's front door. You can practice to your heart's content then."

Lu Qiu: "..."

He saw the security door when he came in earlier and thought the original owner of the house had some special needs. Turns out it was for him to practice.

After watching the video, Lu Qiu rummaged through his backpack looking for something and found a key. "What's this?"

"It's the spare key to my senior's security door." Xia Wange quickly explained before Lu Qiu could react. "I think they'll lock the door from the inside, so we need to be prepared. Slip through the door, pick the lock, kick the door down. Find some techniques and do whatever you can as quickly as possible. When rescuing people, every second counts."

Lu Qiu glanced at the key a few times, slowly exhaled, and walked to the security door. Xia Wange went into the bedroom with the security door installed first, locked the door from the inside, and then said to Lu Qiu outside the door, "Simulate it, you try it."

After thinking about the explanation in the video, Lu Qiu took the hard card and started to unlock the door. He just swiped his hand lightly and the door opened. His eyes met Xia Wange's behind the door.

"It's open?" Xia Wange was surprised for a moment, then looked down at the lock. "I locked it from the inside, how could it be opened so easily?"

Lu Qiu scratched his head. "It only took one click to open it."

"Alright." Xia Wange nodded and closed the door again. "This time I'll lock it from the inside with the key, multiple security measures. Try it again."

Lu Qiu quickly opened the door again, in less than a few seconds.

Xia Wange had Lu Qiu enter the room and lock the door from the inside. Then she tried from the outside, using many methods, both scientific and metaphysical, but it still took her at least thirty seconds. This was nothing compared to Lu Qiu's method of easily opening the door in just a few seconds.

When saving a life, a difference of just a few seconds can mean the difference between life and death.

"It seems my senior brother really wasn't meant to die this time." Xia Wange completely gave up struggling and stopped practicing. "See? I told you it wouldn't take you long."

After saying that, Xia Wange couldn't help but sigh, "If you were to become a professional locksmith, you could make quite a bit of money."

"Thank you for your kind words, but others might try to negotiate the price because I think my workload is too small." Lu Qiu put away his tools. "Luckily, I've found a more lucrative industry."

Xia Wange thought for a moment.

indeed.

Lu Qiu was faster than a locksmith; everyone who saw it felt like they'd been cheated.

The two returned to the room where the sonic plotter was installed. At first, they were able to chat briefly, but as the time drew near, they both fell silent and stared at the drawings produced by the machine.

Xia Wange also prepared a lot of snacks, so the two of them could eat while watching the plotter.

As the bellows vibrated intermittently, they all sat up straight on the soft sofa.

Xia Wange's shoulder bumped against Lu Qiu's, [meaning the two of them must have gone into the bedroom.]

Lu Qiu nodded, confirming his guess.

After a period of chaotic fluctuations, the frequency stabilized. Xia Wange clicked her tongue softly: "It should be...right now. Thank goodness I prepared this, otherwise I would have been eavesdropping. If that had happened, I would have collapsed. I originally thought this was a calamity for my senior brother, one that couldn't be avoided but could only be averted. If I hadn't bought this device...this would have been entirely my calamity."

Lu Qiu touched his nose and didn't say anything.

Yes, thankfully I prepared this. I feel a little awkward now. If it really had to be like that, wouldn't it be even more awkward?

Because both of them felt a little awkward, they became increasingly silent. Suddenly, the curve drawn by the plotting instrument showed a significant fluctuation, rising much higher than before.

Both of them were startled at the same time and immediately stood up, but soon the curves drawn by the instrument returned to normal, still showing the relatively regular curves as before.

Xia Wange and Lu Qiu pursed their lips and sat back down.

Xia Wange leaned close to Lu Qiu: "It really is true...spare the rod and spoil the child."

Lu Qiu: "..."

He moved to the side, not wanting to hear those inner thoughts.

What frustrated him even more was that he understood it instantly...

Is this the moment I understand instantly?

Less than thirty seconds later, the curves drawn by the sonic plotter started to go wrong again, with rustling sounds that were completely disjointed. Xia Wange and Lu Qiu exchanged a glance and made a snap decision, rushing out of the room immediately.

Lu Qiu gripped the handrail of the security door with one hand and opened the door in a flash with the other, holding the card in his other hand.

Xia Wange gathered her energy at her fingertips and quickly drew a talisman in the air.

The moment the talisman in the void took effect, everything in front of the two turned into blocks of color, as if they were looking at the world through a thermal imaging camera. They rushed into the bedroom together and saw a strong red block of color gripping a blue block of color on the bed, which was gradually losing its temperature.

Without saying a word, Xia Wange grabbed the bed sheet next to her and covered them with it. Then she kicked the senior brother in the butt, sending him and the bed sheet crashing to the ground.

Then Xia Wange gently covered the person on the bed with a blanket.

After removing the restriction that was drawing talismans in the air, Xia Wange first checked on her sister-in-law. She saw that her face was pale, she was holding her neck, and she was leaning against the headboard, breathing heavily.

The marks on her neck were horrific, a testament to the fact that if they had arrived any later, she might have died on the spot.

At this moment, although her sister-in-law was not in good condition, she was at least out of danger. Her eyes were fixed on her senior brother, who was slumped on the ground and handcuffed by Lu Qiu. She had lost her voice, and her eyes were full of heartache when she looked at her senior brother.

At this moment, Xia Wange turned to look at the senior brother Lu Qiu was guarding. She was stunned at first glance. The senior brother's eyes were full of cold killing intent. He was like an emotionless machine. Even though he couldn't move his body, his eyes were like knives, scanning his sister-in-law's vulnerable spots.

Xia Wange stepped forward and knocked her senior brother unconscious with a chop to the neck. Then she stuck a talisman on his forehead, gathered her energy with her fingertips, and opened her third eye. For a moment, she saw an old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Whitewood...

The moment she saw the other person clearly, Old Man Bai in the distance also opened his eyes.

Xia Wange's fingertips moved rapidly, forming hand seals, and finally replenished the blood essence. In an instant, Bai Laodeng in the Heavenly Eye coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"It's resolved," Xia Wange murmured.

For a very long time to come, Biden will be completely unable to make a move.

How to resolve the situation is something for the victim's senior brother to consider. She is still a student, only sixteen years old, and it's not yet time for her to take revenge.

However, to be fair, she is now in perfect harmony with Lu Qiu and has solid technical support, which is truly amazing.

Before she could turn around, Xia Wange heard Lu Qiu's urgent voice, "Xia Xia, your sister-in-law has fainted."

After checking on the two and finding that they were not seriously injured, Xia Wange called for an ambulance.

After the ambulance arrived, the doctor saw the injuries and took the person to the hospital while simultaneously calling the police. As a result, the two people were summoned to the police station for questioning.

They were only asked what had happened, so the two weren't separated. Lu Qiu glanced at the police station table and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Could this be to make up for the regret that he never went to jail when he was twenty-one?

Because of their extensive experience, neither of them needed prior communication to answer the police's questions fluently.

They insisted on using three words: "I don't know," "I'm not clear," and "I don't understand."

And four words—"just a coincidence," "based on a sixth sense," "just a feeling."

There are also five words: "I was shocked," "I had no idea," and "I was completely bewildered."

With the help of a few words of truth, the two of them quickly walked out of the police station hand in hand.

Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange and found that she had a calm expression, without any of the smugness or pride that one should have when saving someone. This silence made him very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qiu asked softly. "What are you thinking about?"

"Can't you just listen directly?" Xia Wange turned to look at Lu Qiu.

"Is it alright?" Lu Qiu lowered her eyes, her gaze focused and earnest. "Can I hear what's on your mind now? I sense you're very unhappy."

"It's not that I'm unhappy." Xia Wange stretched, her expression brightening slightly. "I was just thinking that when Elder Bai cast a spell on me, I must have looked just like my senior brother, right?"

Lu Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and she paused, her expression slightly stunned, before remaining silent.

"You don't need to hide it anymore." Xia Wange kicked a pebble on the ground. "A person's modus operandi won't change, especially for an elderly person like him who is extremely proud of his skills."

Lu Qiu fell silent. At that time, he did indeed lead Xia Wange, who was under a spell and filled with murderous intent, in another direction.

As it turned out, he was right.

"Have you ever considered that I might actually have the ability to kill you?" Xia Wange said solemnly as she stood in front of Lu Qiu.

"I've thought about it," Lu Qiu said in a low voice. "I've always believed in your abilities, but at that time I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, much less distance myself from you, just as you've never abandoned me. I believed you wouldn't lose to Bai Laodeng, just as you believed in my fate."

Xia Wange stared at Lu Qiu for a long time, then smiled and stretched out her hand, "Want to hear my true feelings? Come on."

Lu Qiu lowered his eyes to look at the hand extended in front of him, and slowly took it in his hand.

Lu Qiu, do you even know what I...?

"I know how amazing you are."

I like you very much.

As her eyelashes fluttered slightly, Lu Qiu felt a warm current welling up from the tip of her heart...

[Note: Besides blocking me, you also wouldn't let me drink water.]

Lu Qiu: "..."

Okay, the warm current came too early.

Can you please refrain from displaying your professional rigor at a time like this?
