340 Clue

Lu Benwei was dumbfounded. Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin, who had just been ignoring him, seemed to have completely changed.

“Lu Benwei, why didn’t you tell me you brought Little Yan back?”

Lu Dayong complained as he took the bags from Chu Yan’s hands. Jiang Xiuqin had just put on her apron, but she took it off again.

“You guys came back so suddenly. There’s not much food at home. I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some more.” Jiang Xiuqin picked up her small purse and turned around to leave.

“Auntie, it’s okay. I eat very little.” Chu Yan called out to Jiang Xiuqin.

At this moment, Lu Dayong came out of Lu Benwei’s room. “How can you just eat a little?”

Lu Dayong looked up at the clock in the living room and continued, “It’s a little late to buy food now. Let’s go to a restaurant! Little Yan, you’re new here. Try our coconut chicken and seafood in Hai Province. Aunty will buy some good ingredients to cook tomorrow afternoon.”

“Alright, alright.” Chu Yan agreed.

Lu Benwei was even more speechless.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin’s enthusiasm for Chu Yan had deeply stimulated him.

They arrived at a high-end hot pot restaurant. Lu Dayong was very forthright. All kinds of precious seafood were stuffed into Chu Yan’s plate. After a while, the plate in front of Chu Yan was piled up into a small mountain of seafood.

Lu Benwei reached out his chopsticks, wanting to pick up a small shrimp, but Lu Dayong stopped him. “Save some for Little Yan. Look at how much you’ve eaten.”

Lu Benwei was about to cry. From beginning to end, he only ate a few pieces of chicken, one of which was a chicken butt.

‘What sin have I committed to bring Chu Yan back?’ Lu Benwei thought to himself.

Chu Yan was at the side, happily eating all kinds of delicious food.

“Little Yan, I thank you for saving Little Lu during the competition.”

When everyone was almost done eating, Jiang Xiuqin began to talk.

“Little Lu must’ve made you worry a lot in school, right?”

“Aunty, Lu Benwei took care of me a lot at school,” Chu Yan replied.

“That’s good.” Jiang Xiuqin did not forget to remind Lu Benwei. “Little Yan saved your life. You must remember this favor for the rest of your life. You must protect Little Yan in the future.”

Lu Benwei nodded. “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll remember it for life. I won’t let anyone hurt Chu Yan.”

Chu Yan blushed and lowered her head, her eyes clear and bright.

“By the way, what was the final result of your match with Ziling?” Lu Dayong said casually.

The dining table suddenly fell into a dead silence. Lu Benwei was silent and Chu Yan did not know what to say.

After five seconds, Lu Benwei said, “In the end, we’ll consider it a draw. If there’s a chance in the future, we’ll have another match.”

Lu Dayong pouted in dissatisfaction. “What? You guys have to compete again? You’re both siblings. Isn’t it good to tie for the match?”

Lu Benwei grinned.

After a pause, he deliberately asked, “When is Ziling coming back for the holidays? Our house only has three rooms. What is the room arrangement?”

Jiang Xiuqin heard this and sighed. “A few days ago, the principal of Yanjing Hunter University called to say that Ziling is going to go into seclusion to level up. I’m afraid she won’t be back this year.”

Lu Benwei’s eyebrows twitched and he secretly sighed in relief. He thought it would be hard to find a reason for Lu Ziling not to go home, but the principal of Yanjing Hunter University was quite thoughtful.

Lu Benwei grinned and said, “In that case, Chu Yan will sleep in my room tonight and I’ll sleep in Ziling’s room.”

“You’re sleeping in your sister’s room?” Jiang Xiuqin rolled her eyes at Lu Benwei. “In your dreams. You’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.”

“Why?”

“What if your sister comes back and sees that you’ve made a mess in her room? I won’t care if she takes care of you.”

Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

Chu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled.

She leaned over to Lu Benwei’s ear and whispered, “Annoying fellow, do you regret inviting me to your house now?”

“Regret, I regret it very much!” Lu Benwei wanted to cry but had no tears.

…

After the meal, the family returned home very late.

Very quickly, the lights in the rooms were turned off.

Lu Benwei was lying on the sofa. After a while, he heard Lu Dayong’s snoring. He sat up and picked up the phone on the coffee table.

“Beep…”

“Beep…”

After a few ringtones, Lu Benwei heard Chen Yuan’s voice.

“Lu Benwei, you got home safely, right?” Chen Yuan asked with concern.

“We’re home. Mr. Principal, I’m sorry to disturb you so late.” Lu Benwei continued.

Chen Yuan yawned and said, “It’s fine. I’m old and sleep late. Speak, what’s the matter?”

Lu Benwei took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Principal, have you heard of the recent happenings in the Dragon Kingdom? For example…”

“For example… Are there incidents of officials being attacked throughout the Dragon Kingdom?” Chen Yuan answered for Lu benwei.

Lu Benwei’s eyes immediately shrank, and he replied, “Yes. But, Mr. Principal, how did you know?”

“There’s some news that officials in your province have encountered the most attacks.” Chen Yuan lazily said, “Since you know about this, does that mean you’ve encountered it today? What’s the name of the official who was attacked?”

“Yes, that official is the governor of Hai Province. Chu Yan and I took care of him together,” Lu Benwei answered without hesitation.

Chen Yuan suddenly laughed. “Oh, Chu Yan went to Hai Province with you. Did she go to your house?”

...

Lu Benwei was speechless.

“Mr. Principal, can we return to the topic of the attack?”

“Sure, no problem.” Chen Yuan chuckled.

“Can you tell me more about this organization? I have a feeling that this matter isn’t that simple.”

Chen Yuan rubbed his mouth and said, “The information about this organization is actually top secret.”

Lu Benwei heard this, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

“But there’s no harm in telling you,” Chen Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said.

“This organization is very mysterious. I only know a little…”

Lu Benwei pricked up his ears and began to listen.

…

After hearing Chen Yuan’s story, Lu Benwei took a deep breath.

...

“It’s too terrifying. They’ve committed crimes in all the provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, but no one has been caught. They all wore masks. When they committed the crime, they didn’t leave a trace, or if they were caught, they would choose to self-destruct.”

Lu Benwei muttered to himself in disbelief,

“Until now, we don’t even know the name of this organization. This proves that the leaders of this organization are very cautious, or…
