“By the way, Ah Yan has been in the bathroom for so long. Why hasn’t he come out yet? Go and check.” Lu Ting instructed his secretary beside him.
The secretary nodded and calmly went to the bathroom to check. He hurriedly came out and reported, “Chairman, Young Master Yan is missing. The window is still open; he must have just escaped.”
“Go, bring him back for me!” Lu Ting was furious, glaring fiercely at Lu Si sitting across from him. “1 see you two are both crazy! For a woman, you don’t even listen to my words!”
Lu Si lowered his eyes, concealing a smile at the corner of his lips.
If Lu Yan could escape, it meant Jiang Hai had succeeded. Now, as long as they could send Lu Yan away, Mei Shu wouldn’t be isolated and helpless.
Although Lu Si was unwilling for Lu Yan and Mei Shu to meet, at this moment, he still believed that Lu Yan would help Mei Shu deal with Shen Yuan.
Outside the villa.
“Hurry, Uncle Jiang, drive fast! I need to go to the banquet scene immediately!” Lu Yan was anxious as soon as he got into the car.
With the old man keeping him and his younger uncle at home, the banquet scene was bound to be chaotic.
He needed to see Mei Shu safe and sound with his own eyes to be at ease.
“This is Master Si’s order. I’ll take you to the Mei family.” Jiang Hai, with an impassive face, glanced at the secretary and bodyguards chasing after them in the rearview mirror, sneering, and stepped on the accelerator, nearly causing the car to take off.
“Why go to the Mei family? Shu’er must be at the scene now!” Lu Yan was so anxious that he wished to push Jiang Hai aside and drive himself.
Jiang Hai remained calm and said, “Master Si’s order, Young Master Yan, you should obey. Master Si’s judgment is never wrong. You must trust him.”
At these words, Lu Yan was completely stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Give me your phone; my phone was confiscated by my grandfather!”
Jiang Hai had anticipated this situation. While Lu Yan was speaking, he had already handed over the phone. “It contains the phone numbers of everyone in the Mei family. 1 suggest you call Young Master Mei now and inquire about the current situation. Then, we’ll know what to do next.”
Lu Yan nodded. At this moment, his trust in Lu Si even surpassed the panic in his heart, miraculously calming him down without him realizing it.
Mei Feng’s call was quickly connected.
After briefly explaining the current situation, Lu Yan anxiously asked Mei Feng.
Unexpectedly, Mei Feng remained silent for a moment and then said, “Ah Yan, can I still trust you?”
“Of course, you can trust me. I will absolutely not let anything happen to Shu’er!” Lu Yan heard the seriousness in Mei Feng’s words and knew that there must be a significant problem with the Mei family.contemporary romance
“Alright.” Mei Feng remained calm. “Now, Shen Yuan has accused my sister of stealing a hairpin from her house. She has already reported it to the police, and they have a search warrant to go to my house. Since you just came from your house, you should arrive faster than we do. 1 don’t know what kind of hairpin it is, but if Shen Yuan dared to say it publicly, it must exist.”
“I understand.” Lu Yan quickly responded, “I will go to the Mei family now and find that hairpin.”
“One more thing.” Mei Feng took a deep breath. “If the police have already arrived before we do, please take care of Mei He for us and don’t let him be frightened.”
“I know, leave it to me.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan was about to tell Jiang Hai to drive faster. However, as he raised his head, he found that they had already arrived at the Mei family.
After the car came to a steady stop, Jiang Hai got out first to open the car door for him. Seeing Lu Yan still dazed, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows and urged, “Young Master Yan, please hurry. Time is running out; the police should be arriving soon.”
“Okay.” Lu Yan didn’t waste any more time. After getting out of the car, he followed Jiang Hai smoothly through the Mei family’s gate.
Today was Mei Shu’s coming-of-age ceremony, and all the members of the Mei family were attending the banquet. The entrance gate had been locked from the outside.
Lu Yan was about to worry, but Jiang Hai effortlessly opened the lock.
It didn’t even take a minute.
Before Lu Yan could be astonished, Jiang Hai led him smoothly into Mei Shu’s room.
“Young Master Yan, 1’11 keep watch outside for you. Miss Mei should have placed the hairpin in her room. Find it quickly, and then hand it to me.”
“Alright, 1’11 go in and find it now,” said Lu Yan, forcefully pushing open the door.
In that moment of entering the room, he realized that Jiang Hai must have been to Mei Shu’s room before; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so familiar with it.
Upon further thought, since Jiang Hai was so familiar with the place, his little uncle must have visited here frequently.
The sour feeling in his heart surged again, but Lu Yan’s actions were not delayed. He quickly found the hairpin that Shen Yuan had used as a pretext to accuse Mei Shu of theft, inside the drawer of the desk.
He pocketed the item and was about to leave when the blaring sound of police sirens echoed from outside..
