“Let’s go back first!” Luo Ziyang looked around warily and quickly brought Li Xiaoqing back to the house at the wine shop.

Not long after the two of them left, a figure appeared on a big tree not far away.

“Hmph, you guys are lucky!”

With that, the person left.

This person was none other than Liu Mingkun, whom Luo Cheng and the others had been looking for.

Afraid that someone was following him, Liu Mingkun circled the town a few times before returning to an abandoned courtyard.

It had been many years since anyone had lived here and it was a famous haunted house.

However, this was only Liu Mingkun’s temporary residence.

Since Luo Cheng had sent people to look for him, it was inappropriate to stay here for long. Sooner or later, the other party would find this place.

Liu Mingkun decided to move immediately.

Looking at the unconscious Li Shun and Zhao Xiu in the grass not far away, Liu Mingkun thought for a moment and lay in the grass as well.

It was still early. If he ran out now, he would definitely expose his whereabouts, so he had to wait patiently.

On the other side, when Luo Ziyang and Li Xiao Qing returned with the letter, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng happened to figure out Liu Mingkun’s personality and mentality.

After the two of them heard Luo Ziyang talk about his previous encounter, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other.

“As expected, he attacked directly! However, he’s more cautious than we thought and actually thought of a way to send a letter!” Luo Cheng said,

“Ziyang, show me that letter!”

Luo Ziyang nodded and handed over the letter.

Luo Cheng made sufficient preparations. He went to a room alone first and began to examine the letter.

Half an hour, Luo Cheng walked out with the letter.

“There’s nothing wrong with the envelope. The pen and ink on the letter have been tampered with. The two things will fuse with the ink on the letter before producing a very strong drug that can make you follow the creator obediently without resisting at all!”

Although she had already guessed it, Li Xiaoqing still felt a little afraid.

“Fortunately, you guys were vigilant!” Li Xiaoran walked over and hugged her sister’s shoulder as she comforted her softly.

Li Xiaoqing thought of something and asked, “Then what should I do? Do I really have to go out alone tonight?”

After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng exchanged looks, they thought of something.

“No!” the couple said in unison.

“No?” Li Xiaoqing looked at her sister in shock. “Are you sure?”

Li Xiaoran said, “I’m very sure! Why do we have to follow his plan? We have to ruin his plan and make Liu Mingkun lose control. Only then can we find him!”

Li Xiaoqing couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure this won’t harm Father and

Mother?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Xiaoran promised her sister, “Don’t worry! Xiao Qing, I don’t want anything to happen to Father and Mother, so we have to find them as soon as possible! Trust me, and don’t act on your own. You can’t leave this house tonight. Leave the rest to me and your brother-in-law! We guarantee that when you open your eyes tomorrow morning, Father and Mother will have returned safely!”

Li Xiaoqing nodded and said, “Sister, feel free to tell me what I can do! I’ll listen to you tonight. I won’t leave this house!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “Xiao Qing, after I save Father and Mother, if I don’t capture Liu Mingkun, you’ll be in the most danger in the future!”

“Sister, don’t worry. It’s fine as long as Father and Mother come back safely! We’ll settle the rest ourselves!” Li Xiaoqing said firmly.

The current her was no longer the little girl who only knew how to be angry but couldn’t protect her family.

Now that she had learned some skills from her mentor, she could protect herself and her family!

Hearing her sister’s words, Li Xiaoran was suddenly moved. “In that case, follow us tonight!”

Hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, Li Xiaoqing was in disbelief.

“Is this true?”

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “It’s true. Since you’ve already grown up, you should take some responsibility!”

Li Xiaoqing’s heart warmed and she perked up.

“Sister, I won’t let you down! I’ll protect myself and my family!”

Li Xiaoran patted her sister’s head and said, “Alright, go and rest now! After dinner, we still have a tough battle to fight!”

Li Xiaoqing nodded and returned to her room to rest.

The others also returned to their rooms to rest.

Soon, night fell and the chef in the house prepared dinner for everyone.

After Li Xiaoran washed her face, she came to the table.

Li Xiaoran looked at the surrounding people and called out, “It seems that dinner is very sumptuous! Everyone, don’t just stand there. Let’s eat together!” Since they were all family, everyone quickly scooped the rice and started eating.

Perhaps it was because they had a big task that night, but everyone enjoyed the meal.

After eating and drinking their fill, all that was left was to rest.

Although it was dark, it wasn’t time to go out yet, so the group sat in the courtyard on standby.

Liu Mingkun was also waiting in a very hidden place. However, he didn’t see Li Xiaoqing.

“Li Xiaoqing, are you afraid something happening to you, so you’re ignoring the danger your parents are in? I really didn’t expect you to be such a person!” While waiting impatiently, Liu Mingkun muttered softly, “I’ll give you another hour. If you don’t appear, I’ll go back and settle scores with your parents!” Time flew by. It was already midnight, but Li Xiaoqing still didn’t come out.

This time, Liu Mingkun was furious and left.

Not long after Liu Mingkun left, Li Xiaoran left the house with a group of people.

For the sake of convenience, the group wore camouflage clothing.

Li Xiaoran said in a low voice and pointed in a direction, “Let’s go this way!” Then, the group followed quietly.

The group moved at a moderate speed. No one knew where they were going.

Whenever Li Xiaoran asked them to stop, they would.

If Li Xiaoran asked them to start moving again, they would. Just like that, two hours later, Li Xiaoran brought everyone to a house.

“Where is this place?” Li Xiaoran asked..
