358 Major Event
Lu Benwei was blindfold.
Led by Hu Wu, they walked for an unknown amount of time before they finally walked out of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
After a long time, Hu Wu finally said, âAlright, thatâs enough. This is the way to Qingling City.â
Lu Benwei faintly felt that something was wrong. However, when he thought about the special nature of the Law Enforcement Bureau, Lu Benwei did not think too much about it.
âLu Benwei, five minutes. You can take off your blindfold after five minutes,â Hu Wu said.
âNo problem!â Lu Benwei agreed.
âAlright, Iâll take my leave then. If you encounter any difficulties, call me,â Hu Wu said as he stuffed a business card into Lu Benweiâs hand.
Lu Benwei said goodbye to him and then heard the sound of Hu Wu running.
When Lu Benwei could not hear him anymore, he reached out and took off his blindfold.
âOnly a fool would really wait for five minutes!â
Lu Benwei was stunned. In front of him was a vast farmland.
The green leaves, the setting sun, the birds returning to their nests⦠The scenery was beautiful, but Lu Benweiâs heart was particularly cold!
There was only a small dirt road in front of him. There was no signal on his cell phone, let alone a taxi!
âWhat kind of people are in the Law Enforcement Bureau? One is expressionless, and the other is sullen!â Lu Benwei cursed, crumpling the business card in his hand.
Just as he was about to throw it out, Lu Benwei heard Chu Yanâs shout.
âI mustâve fainted from anger. How did Chu Yan find this place?â Lu Benwei said to himself.
Not long after, he heard the roar of an engine, which was extremely deafening!
âAnnoying fellow!â
A light voice came into Lu Benweiâs ears with the roar of the engine.
Lu Benwei looked back in the direction of the voice. An old man was driving a tractor, bringing Chu Yan and Fan Peng over slowly.
Chu Yan had changed into a dress with small flowers and put on a straw hat. She was waving her hand with the wind, and the rice in the paddy field swayed with her.
âChu Yan!â
Lu Benweiâs eyes lit up and he kept waving at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan jumped out of the tractor, stepped on the muddy ground, and ran all the way to Lu Benwei.
The setting sun cast a long shadow on her until it overlapped with Lu Benweiâs.
âHow did you find me?â Lu Benwei asked.
Chu Yanâs smile was brighter than anyone elseâs. âThis is a secret.â
Fan Peng also jumped down. âHey, Iâve been asking the same question all the way here. I was wondering why you were so sure that Lu Benwei was here. In the end, when I took a look, heh, it really was you!â
After saying that, Fan Peng even rubbed his sore butt.
Lu Benwei shrugged and smiled helplessly. âI really have to hand it to you guys.â
âWhere are you guys coming from?â
âOf course, from Qingling City!â Chu Yan said with her hands on her hips.
âFrom what youâre saying, this isnât the outskirts of Qingling City?â
âOf course, this is Canglong Cityâs territory.â
Suddenly, Lu Benwei had the intention to kill his way into the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Hu Wu was really bold. In this place where there was no village or shop, was he not afraid that he would not be able to find his way home?
âKids, are you guys leaving? Iâm waiting to go home and cook!â the old man driving the tractor shouted.
âLetâs go, of course weâll leave,â Chu Yan waved her hand and replied to the old man.
â¦
Chu Yan and Lu Benwei returned to their home in Qingling City.
It was almost eleven oâclock at midnight. Lu Benwei gently opened the door and then tiptoed into the house.
He turned on the light and Lu Benwei suddenly shivered.
Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin, each wearing pajamas, sat on the sofa and looked at Lu Benwei with a serious faces.
âWhat time is it already? You still have the face to come back?!â Lu Dayong shouted.
Lu Benwei was so scared that he trembled!
âUncle, Aunty, Iâm sorry. Iâve been playing outside for too long.â Chu Yan started to help Lu Benwei out.
Lu Dayong was immediately overjoyed. âLittle Yan, itâs fine. Itâs your first time in Hai Province. Have some fun and see the local customs and practices!â
After that, Lu Dayong glared at Lu Benwei and growled, âYou, come over here!â
Lu Benwei had no choice but to follow Lu Dayong into his room. Seeing this, Jiang Xiuqin first greeted Chu Yan and then entered the room. As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Xiuqin heard Lu Dayongâs scolding!
âWhat the hell are you doing? You can either come back earlier with Chu Yan, or you can spend the night outside with Chu Yan and come back in the morning!â
Lu Benwei was speechless.
âDad, youâre implying something.â
Jiang Xiuqin pushed Lu Dayong impatiently. âYou old man, youâre talking nonsense!â
Jiang Xiuqin sat down with a straight face.
...
âTell me, where did you go today?â
Lu Benweiâs eyes rolled, thinking that the news of todayâs incident might have spread.
âI had lunch with my old classmates at noon, and then went to Canglong City in the afternoon, so I came back a little late.
When Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin heard this, they let out a long sigh of relief.
âItâs almost the new year. Itâs not peaceful anywhere. If you and Little Yan are going out to play, come back early,â Jiang Xiuqin said.
âI know.â
Lu Benwei thought to himself, âSure enough, the incident has spread.â
Lu Dayongâs face was serious as he said, âAlthough youâre very strong now, donât forget that thereâs always someone stronger than you. Be more magnanimous when youâre outside. Donât be angry with others. Little Yan saved your life. You canât be impulsive because of your matter and cause her to get hurt again.â
Lu Benwei nodded.
âAlright, get out and sleep!â
After leaving Lu Dayongâs room, Lu Benwei found that Chu Yan was already asleep.
...
When he came to the bathroom, Lu Benwei found that the toothpaste had been squeezed out and the cup was filled with water. In addition, there was a small note.
âAnnoying fellow, Iâm tired. Iâll go to bed first. Good night.â
Lu Benwei pursed his lips and put the note away. After washing up and preparing to sleep, Lu Benwei received a message from Fan Peng.
âLu Benwei, are you asleep? Something bad has happened. Thereâs something I need to discuss with you. Forget it. Iâll come to you tomorrow morning. You havenât moved, have you?â
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief and sent his home location.
â¦
The next morning.
Chu Yan and Lu Benwei had been waiting for Fan Peng downstairs.
Fan Peng also arrived as promised.
âWhat is it that you had to come personally!â Chu Yan rubbed her eyes and yawned lazily.
âItâs nothing big. If it was, youâd have told me last night.â Lu Benwei was like a worm in Fan Pengâs stomach.
Fan Peng chuckled and said, âLu Benwei, youâre wrong about that. Itâs really a big matter, and itâs not a small one!â
