It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Hurry, think of a solution quickly. What excuse would be best? What exactly did the teacher mean by "going back"...

Should I just tell the truth, Chen Xiaoyue thought tormentedly, or tell the teacher that it was just an excuse I made up?

Xiao Niao saw that Chen Xiaoyue remained silent, opening and closing her lips several times, as if she was keeping a secret.

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous: What on earth was he asking? Why was he so hesitant?

[You can't talk about the mission and the system outside...]

Xiao Niao still clearly remembered what Tongzi had told her: "People in the small world are fine, the worst that can happen is that I just give up and kill them - but if people in the real world find out, it will be terrible."

Xiao Niao made up his mind: If the doctor asked him questions that he couldn't answer, he would just pretend to be stupid and get away with it.

“…Who is it?”

It was unknown how long it took before Chen Xiaoyue finally slowly uttered a word.

She lowered her head and her eyes were covered by her hair, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Hmm?" Xiao Niao didn't hear clearly what she said.

Chen Xiaoyue raised her head and turned to look at her - this time Xiaoniao saw her expression clearly.

It was a mixture of grievance and sadness, like the expression of a "wronged puppy who came home and found that his owner had gone to a cat cafe."

Xiao Niao subconsciously stepped back a little.

She swallowed.

Chen Xiaoyue said, "Who is Gwen?"

“That’s a really good question!”

Inside the study of the luxurious villa at Lu's residence, Father Lu's roar penetrated the door and reached everyone's ears with great infectiousness.

"You're asking me what Lu Yao is doing?" He spat into the microphone. "I want to know what's going on with her even more than you do!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Lu hung up the phone.

He paced back and forth in the study in a rage, looking extremely anxious.

There were no servants in the study. Only Lu Zhiqing was standing silently in the corner, with his head lowered and not saying a word.

She tried her best not to show any unnecessary expression.

My father is very angry now, and anyone who crosses him may be in trouble.

But there are some things that she obviously cannot avoid just because she wants to.

After pacing a few times, Father Lu seemed to have regained some composure. He turned to look at his eldest daughter and said, "Zhiqing, let me ask you again, are you sure you saw Lu Yao at that time?"

"Yes, father," Lu Zhiqing said numbly and mechanically, and he couldn't remember how many times he had repeated this sentence. "I saw her report to the class."

"Was Gu Tianjiao next to her at that time?" Father Lu asked sternly.

"No more," she said, "we have been apart at home

I haven’t seen him since.”

The study fell into deathly silence again.

Lu Zhiqing stared at her toes in silence, wondering how long this interrogation would last.

After she discovered that Lu Yao and Gu Tianjiao were missing, she was called back home by her father.

This was understandable - he was the last eyewitness to see Lu Yao, so it was normal to be questioned a few more times.

Lu Zhiqing has already accepted the fact that his sister is more favored by their father than himself, so he would not feel indignant about such things.

Until she found out that after she came back, her father asked her all kinds of questions, and his words were full of suspicion that the disappearance of the two people was related to her.

"Why didn't you take the bus to school with them this morning?"

"Has anyone else seen your sister besides you?"

It was not until the driver who was responsible for picking up the students from school was finally found on the road and brought back to Lu's house for detailed questioning that the repetitive questioning finally stopped.

Mr. Lu knew that he had wrongly suspected his eldest daughter, but he did not express anything else and did not mention asking her to go back to school. He just said "hmm" coldly.

Father Lu was extremely anxious at this time.

What the driver said was so bizarre that out of some business instinct, Father Lu immediately took control of the driver and prevented him from continuing to pass on information to the outside world.

Such bizarre remarks must not be spread and must be suppressed.

But he didn't expect the school to react so quickly. Not long after, they directly contacted Gu Tianjiao's parents...that terrible woman.

He hurried to the school to find a leader he knew, and repeatedly begged the school not to call the police for the time being on the grounds that he did not want to make the matter worse, while secretly speeding up the search for the person.

Thinking of this, Father Lu couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This little daughter has been causing him trouble time and time again, and he has done basically nothing during this period of time except cleaning up her messes.

He was just getting angry when there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Chapter 93 Father Lu: I’m so annoyed. I really want to hang that naughty kid up and beat him.

Mr. Lu’s full name is Lu Weiren. He is the father of the heroine Lu Yao. His main role in the plot is as a feudal patriarch and one of the background boards that promotes the marriage of the hero and heroine.

But if we use our eyes as a yardstick and make a rough assessment, we can come to an obvious conclusion: this person is a sinister old Deng.

Just like the villains in all stories, although his name is "Weiren", his actual character can only be described as disgusting.

Some readers may still remember that Lu Yao once found a sleeping pill from the secret compartment in her study, put it in ice cream, and gave it to her sister. Of course, her plan did not succeed because her acting was too poor.

But no matter what, the existence of drugs in Lu Weiren's study was an undeniable fact - which decent family would always keep drugs in their home? It couldn't be that he just ate them for fun when he couldn't sleep at night.

There is actually no need to elaborate further here. To hide drugs in the study, Lu Weiren must have done something shameful in private.

Just like now, he was furious about Lu Yao's disappearance, but it was not because he was worried about his little daughter's safety.

There was a knock on the study door, and Lu Weiren glared towards the study entrance.

He was still furious, his chest still rising and falling, but he also remembered that he had instructed in advance: if there was any news related to Lu Yao, come and tell him immediately.

Lao Deng frowned and said, "Come in."

The person who came in was Wang Ma. She first glanced at Lu Zhiqing, who was standing silently by the table, and then looked at Lu's father with some fear: "Master, there is news about Miss Lu Yao."

"Any news?" Father Lu impatiently placed both hands on the table. "Where is Lu Yao now? Is that kid from the Gu family with her?"

"This," Wang Ma stuttered, as if she didn't know where to begin, "it was the Second Young Lady who called."

"She only gave me her current address and asked you to send a driver to pick her up, then she hung up..."

The more Wang Ma spoke, the lower her voice became, and Lu Weiren's expression became uglier and uglier. Finally, Wang Ma simply lowered her head and stopped talking.

She just happened to answer the phone in the living room, so she hurried to the study to tell the master.

Mother Wang didn't think too much about it. She was just anxious to tell Lu Yao the news that she had called back, thinking that this would make the irritable Lu Weiren feel better.

How could she know that what made Father Lu so anxious was not the safety of his little daughter at all.

What really worried him was that Gu Tianjiao also disappeared.

Lu Weiren knew very well how his family had treated the young master of the Gu family over the years - his little daughter's bullying style made it a good thing that she didn't retaliate against him, let alone remember the kindness of raising him.

But at that time he didn't take the brat of the Gu family seriously - in Lu Weiren's opinion at the time, the Gu family would soon be finished after the death of the head of the family - he only reluctantly kept the kid in his own house and fed him because of their old friendship.

The Lu family can still afford to raise a child, but it is impossible for them to spend any effort to train a child.

keep.

Lu Weiren himself could not have expected that Gu Yilan would rise again after several years of silence, and even started a company and ran the legitimate business that Grandpa Gu had always dreamed of but failed to accomplish.

How on earth did she do it? At this point, Lu Weiren had no time to feel conflicted about it.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be an even bigger surprise waiting for him.

Question: If you have a friend whose family has fallen on hard times, and he or she is forced to send his or her child to live with you, then you end up being so bored that you take the child out and beat him or her for fun whenever you have time.

So, may I ask, when your friend makes a comeback, what will you fear most?

Ha, of course I’m afraid he will tell his parents!

After learning the news, Lu Weiren quickly sorted out the connection: if the disappearance of the two people became a big deal, the school or the police would definitely contact Gu Tianjiao's legal guardian, Gu Yilan.

After Gu Yilan learned the news, she would definitely find a way to find the person, and if she found Gu Tianjiao before herself, she might be able to take him home.

Will that kid complain to his mother, or will he help cover up for the sake of the Lu family's upbringing? Is there any need to guess?

Thinking of this, Lu Weiren felt a little annoyed.

Recently, his company's capital chain has encountered major problems, and the progress of the new project has not been smooth - and it just so happens that Gu Yilan can help him overcome the difficulties - now is the time for him to please the other party.

He was also sweating in his heart. While interacting with Gu Yilan, he acted like a kind elder at home, trying to restore his relationship with the young master of the Gu family by showing concern for him.

But he didn't expect that the little ancestor he raised seemed to be provoked and started to bully the other party even more severely, and would cause trouble for him at any time.

But the driver's earlier story was too bizarre: the Second Young Lady was slapping Young Master Gu's face like a lunatic; the Second Young Lady was mumbling to herself non-stop as if possessed...

When Mr. Lu heard this, his first reaction was to curse: "Do you think this is a novel? My daughter is really possessed by a ghost!"

However, the driver insisted that everything he said was true and he really saw the second young lady go crazy.

The other party was so persistent that Lu Weiren couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Now that little ancestor called again and asked someone to pick her up... This doesn't look like she had hit anyone, right?

The action of hanging up the phone was quite consistent with her arrogant and domineering personality in the past, so Father Lu did not suspect anything about this.

Is the driver lying?

But that made no sense at all, and lying and slandering his boss's child wouldn't do him any good.

Father Lu: So annoying, who is going crazy?

He pondered for a long time behind his desk. Contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't get angry. He just waved at Wang Ma and said, "Okay, I understand. Go notify the driver and send a car to pick him up."

But Wang Ma didn't turn around and leave immediately: "Um, Master, there's one more thing..."

Lu Weiren had already sat back in his chair and asked casually, "What?"

"There's a visitor," Wang Ma said. "It seems to be a lady named Gu..."

As soon as Lu Weiren's butt touched the leather cushion, he stood up suddenly, his mouth wide open, looking shocked: "Who - who visited?!"

Wang Ma was so frightened by his startled look that her palms started sweating.

She wiped her hands on her apron nervously. "I remember her name was, um... Ms. Gu Yilan? Butler Zhao has already gone out to greet her..."

Lu Weiren's heart, which had been relieved, suddenly hung in the air, and the expression on his face completely fell.

He yelled a curse, then, without paying any attention to the other people in the study, he grabbed his suit jacket from the back of the chair and hurried towards the entrance.

Not long after Mr. Lu left, the study, which was originally filled with a tense atmosphere, suddenly became quiet.

Aunt Wang still didn't leave. She first looked behind her to confirm that Lu Weiren had indeed left. Then she sighed and slowly walked to Lu Zhiqing.

Ever since Mr. Lu got angry, Lu Zhiqing had been standing silently by the side. After standing for three or two hours, his legs were a little stiff.

Aunt Wang gently patted Lu Zhiqing's shoulder and spoke cautiously, "Miss Zhiqing, the master has left..."

"How long have you been standing here?" The middle-aged woman's eyes showed a trace of pity. "Go back to your room and rest for a while..."

Lu Zhiqing's body swayed slightly. She turned her head to look at Aunt Wang beside her. The expression on her face was full of genuine concern.

Even this stranger who has no blood relationship with me and whom I live with day and night seems to care about me more than the so-called father.

After a long time, Lu Zhiqing lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

-

When Lu Weiren rushed to the living room, he found someone already sitting on his sofa.

Butler Zhao was busy preparing snacks and tea. He was a young man in his twenties, but at this moment he was standing on tiptoe, trying to make his steps feel like a cat.

No, to be more precise, it's like being watched by a cat.

Sleeping mouse.

He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to breathe, and walked without making any sound. As soon as he brought the tea to the table, he turned around and went back to the kitchen as if escaping.
